Chapter 142 Conspiracy
The twin lotuses that served as the core of the formation were taken away by Cheng Shuyan, and the power of the formation gradually weakened.
In the outside world, Venerable Guangling sensed the fluctuations in space and attacked the weakest point of the space with powerful force, creating a gap in the entire space.
A ray of light from the outside world penetrated the dark space, and the water in the space also flowed to the outside world through the gap.
"Friend Cheng, it's the exit! We can get out!" Lin Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this scene and said excitedly to Cheng Shuyan.
"Yes, we can go out now, let's go!"
After two years, she finally smelled the breath of the Thousand Spirit Realm again, and was naturally very happy.
Although it is normal for cultivators to go into seclusion, as their cultivation level improves, it is normal to go into seclusion for dozens or even hundreds of years.
But actively secluding oneself and being passively trapped in a dark cage are two completely different feelings.
She stood up and walked towards the exit step by step with Lin Yuan.
Xie Jingxiu stood at the place closest to the exit. He had his back to Cheng Shuyan and the others, staring at the opened gap, seemingly in a daze.
Cheng Shuyan stared at Xie Jingxiu intentionally or unintentionally. She always felt that Xie Jingxiu would not give up.
Just as the two were getting closer to the exit, Xie Jingxiu suddenly turned around, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a low smile escaped.
"Ah Yan, you spent two years preparing such a great gift for me. It's time for me to return the favor!"
"careful!"
Seeing his sudden fierce look, Cheng Shuyan quickly pushed Lin Yuan away and took out the Fiery Sword and held it in his hand.
The Blazing Sword has been with her for many years and is the magic weapon she is most comfortable using. She can use it as easily as using her own arm.
At the same time, Xie Jingxiu's killing move had already reached Lin Yuan!
It was an almost transparent short sword, the entire sword body was as thin as a cicada's wing, with no hilt, only a blade.
It seemed that some kind of material that could isolate spiritual consciousness was added to the dagger, allowing it to cleverly avoid the spiritual detection of Cheng Shuyan and Lin Yuan, and they were unable to detect any trace of the dagger.
It was not until the dagger quietly approached him that Lin Yuan finally saw the true appearance of this mysterious dagger.
In that thrilling battle against the beast tide, Lin Yuan was able to come from behind and, with his outstanding strength, slay countless monsters along the way, eventually topping the Monster Killing List. Naturally, he was no ordinary person.
Almost the moment the dagger appeared, Lin Yuan reacted with astonishing speed.
He quickly formed an extremely strong shield to protect himself.
At the same time, his figure retreated rapidly like lightning, avoiding the sharp blow of the dagger.
On the other side, Cheng Shuyan was worried that Xie Jingxiu would attack again, so he decisively attacked Xie Jingxiu at the same time.
The blazing sword in her hand had already been infused with spiritual power, and the sword body turned completely fiery red. She rushed towards Xie Jingxiu with an extremely hot spiritual flame.
She only needed to force Xie Jingxiu to be unable to attack and could only passively defend, and that was enough.
Although her attack was powerful, as long as Xie Jingxiu returned to defend himself, it would not pose a threat to him.
However, something she didn't expect happened!
Xie Jingxiu just smiled softly and let the Fiery Sword approach with fierce force, but he had no intention of being on guard and did not attack again.
Cheng Shuyan suddenly felt something was wrong. Why didn't Xie Jingxiu hide?
She didn't have time to think about it. At this moment, the Blazing Sword was too close to Xie Jingxiu, and she couldn't retract the attack. She could only control the Blazing Sword to move to the side, trying to avoid Xie Jingxiu.
Xie Jingxiu flew forward and charged straight towards the Blazing Sword!
The Blazing Sword pierced into Xie Jingxiu's left chest, and the sound of the hot sword piercing through flesh was extremely clear in the space.
Xie Jingxiu suddenly started bleeding profusely, and with his blood boiling, he vomited blood uncontrollably.
He took one last look at Cheng Shuyan, his eyes filled with the pride of having his conspiracy succeeded.
"Ayan, goodbye."
He used up his last bit of spiritual power, quickly retreated to the exit, then fell backwards and fell out.
The fiery red sword was still stuck in his left chest.
Afterwards, Cheng Shuyan heard a horrified voice from outside: "Thank you, nephew!"
Lin Yuan walked up to her, his eyes filled with worry. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have hurt him by mistake."
Cheng Shuyan shook his head and said tiredly, "It's okay. To be honest, you were implicated by me."
She understood everything at this moment. Xie Jingxiu didn't really want to hurt any of them.
His goal was to force her to attack him.
He knew in his heart that Cheng Shuyan was concerned about the Cheng family. Although he wanted to kill him, he would not leave any evidence to implicate the Cheng family.
So he used this method to force Cheng Shuyan to take action against him.
But what is his purpose?
Cheng Shuyan couldn't understand why her attack couldn't kill Xie Jingxiu. Even if Xie Jingxiu had bumped into her in the end, he wouldn't have died from this sword.
Even if the Xuanfeng Sect knew that it was her who injured Xie Jingxiu, after all, no one was killed, so the Cheng family would not be too affected.
Even if she was kicked out of the Cheng family because of this, it would not be a big loss to her.
What exactly does Xie Jingxiu want to gain by using such a self-destructive method?
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, why don't we destroy this exit and find a way out later." Lin Yuan's voice brought her back to her senses.
Cheng Shuyan knew what he meant. It was obvious that people from Xie Jingxiu's sect were waiting outside. If she went out at this time, she would definitely be blamed.
But if she didn't go out, everyone would know that Xie Jingxiu was trapped in the same place with her, and he must have been injured by her now, and the Cheng family would also be implicated.
She could only go out, face the matter head-on, and distance herself from the Cheng family.
She shook her head at Lin Yuan and said, "We have to face it eventually. Let's go."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Lin Yuan said nothing more and flew out of the space with her.
"Mingshu!"
"elder sister!"
"Xiao Shuyan!"
"Little junior sister!"
As soon as Cheng Shuyan appeared, he heard these familiar voices coming into his ears one after another.
She couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Seeing that everyone was looking at her with surprise and relief, she hurried towards them.
But after she took a few steps, she felt an extremely powerful aura locking her tightly.
At the same time, the voice of "Junior Brother Xie" that he had just heard in the space sounded in his ears with anger.
"Witch! You dare to hurt someone from the Xuanfeng Sect? Prepare to die!"
A cold and sharp knife light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and the knife light came from far away in just an instant.
The incident happened so suddenly that she didn't even have time to react, and she had no way to respond.
This was an angry attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator, and she couldn't block it. Even if she used all her strength, she couldn't block half of the power of this attack.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Cheng Shuyan's mind, and in the end, she only came to one conclusion.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, at the critical moment, she could only hide in the Heaven-Deceiving Realm to escape the attack.
