Chapter 168 Green Dragon
Chapter 168 Green Dragon
"Senior Brother Song, do you know that once the ninth-grade teleportation array is opened, my life will be in danger? This is an array that can only be opened with my life." Tian Ruochun looked at Song Huai'an, her voice trembling slightly.
“…I’m sorry.” Song Huai’an turned his head away. He didn’t want to be the bad guy, but behind him were dozens of Qingyun Sect disciples and disciples from other sects. He had to make a choice.
Sacrificing one Qingyun Sect disciple to ensure the survival of others, and better maintaining Qingyun Sect's relationship with other sects, is the best outcome.
Moreover, Tian Ruochun is not a kind person. She is inextricably linked to the previous Silver Python incident, and she has an obligation to make amends for her mistakes.
“Tian Ruochun, only you can save everyone now. Are you going to just stand by and watch us be killed by the spirit beasts? You are a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. You should be prepared to contribute to the sect.” Song Huai’an’s tone was no longer gentle.
"Yes! Please, Senior Sister Tian, save us! I'm willing to burn incense and pray for you when I get back."
"Senior Sister Tian, please! I have family and friends waiting for me outside the secret realm. I don't want to die here!"
……
The cries of pleas echoed through the sky like a chorus, and everyone looked at Tian Ruochun with pleading eyes; some even knelt down to beg for mercy.
All the disciples had lost their minds on the verge of death. They just wanted to live, even if it meant sacrificing others. After all, it wasn't their own lives that had to be sacrificed. They could be saved just by saying a few kind words, so why not?
Tian Ruochun's eyes were indifferent. She already knew what these people were thinking, and she felt no sympathy whatsoever.
They claim to be disciples of the righteous path, so why don't they have a fair and square fight with their enemies? Perhaps they'd have a chance to escape. Instead, they're all eager to persecute their own disciples—it's truly ironic.
However, Tian Ruochun knew she had nowhere to escape. She saw that some disciples had already placed their hands on the hilts of their swords. If she refused, there would only be one outcome for her—death.
A sect has no need for selfish disciples. Disciples who refuse to save others and only care about themselves deserve to die.
Tian Ruochun sighed softly and prepared to set up the formation.
Unexpectedly, before she could even begin setting up the formation, golden light appeared beneath everyone's feet. And wasn't this formation the ninth-grade teleportation array that everyone had been longing for?
For some reason, the surrounding spirit beasts retreated like a tide, and not a single one dared to attack. They watched helplessly as hundreds of disciples were teleported away.
Once all the disciples had been teleported away, all the spirit beasts surged into the Ten Thousand Zhang Abyss Lake, jumping into the lake in an orderly fashion like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Below, a purple flame flickered in the cave. Xie Wanxun's eyes flashed, and the flame in her hand grew even more intense, illuminating the entire cave.
Suddenly, a small paper figure floated to Xie Wanxun's forehead, gently tapped her head, and then transformed into a talisman that landed in Xie Wanxun's hand.
This is a time signal.
A smile appeared on Xie Wanxun's lips.
In this life, Xiao Tian doesn't have to sacrifice herself to save people. Everyone has already been teleported away by the teleportation array that Xie Wanxun set up in advance, even though those people are not worth her doing so.
Xie Wanxun's gaze fell on the sleeping Azure Dragon coiled in front of her. She did not speak, but simply threw the flames in her hand directly at the Azure Dragon.
A deafening roar nearly pierced Xie Wanxun's ears: "You audacious human, what are you doing! How dare you disrespect this dragon!"
Xie Wanxun looked at Qinglong indifferently and stated her request directly: "Qinglong, I want to sign a contract with you."
"Hahaha!" Azure Dragon laughed, saying contemptuously, "Sign a contract with you? You despicable demon, that's just wishful thinking on your part!"
Xie Wanxun waited calmly, and as the Azure Dragon opened its mouth wide, she swiftly threw in a packet of poison.
Before the Azure Dragon could react, it swallowed the poison whole, but it showed no fear: "Did you really think poison would work on a divine beast like me?! Ah!"
The Azure Dragon suddenly curled up on the ground in pain, repeatedly pounding the ground, and more than a dozen scales on its belly were knocked off.
"How is that possible?" Qinglong struggled to sit up and uttered these words slowly.
Xie Wanxun coldly stared at it, threateningly saying, "You are a divine beast, possessing the purest spiritual power and the ability to suppress demonic energy. However, I added Phoenix Netherfire to the poison, which repels your body and will continuously burn you. Divine beasts naturally dominate the cultivation world, but I am also a divine beast, capable of defeating your divine beast, the phoenix. Quickly sign a contract with me, or I will burn you to ashes, since the Azure Dragon does not have the ability to be reborn from fire."
"How dare you!" the Azure Dragon roared, but the Netherfire within its body grew stronger and stronger, and for the first time it felt the fear of death.
“Sign the contract, or you will surely die.” Xie Wanxun’s scarlet eyes gleamed, even more dazzling than the purple flames in her hands.
"I...sign!" Qinglong uttered the two words with humiliation.
It was originally one of the Four Divine Beasts, and only the chosen ones of the cultivation world were qualified to form a contract with it. Now, however, it could only submit to a demonic cultivator. How could it not hate it!
Xie Wanxun flew to the head of the Azure Dragon, stretched out her finger, and touched the Azure Dragon's forehead.
In an instant, the Azure Dragon entered Xie Wanxun's consciousness space and saw Xie Wanxun.
However, Xie Wanxun stepped aside, revealing another dormant consciousness, which was Xie Wanning.
"Make a contract with her," Xie Wanxun commanded.
The Azure Dragon shuddered in fright and moved closer to Xie Wanning. The moment they touched, they signed a master-servant contract.
Azure Dragon trembled, muttering to himself, "How is this possible? She is the true form of the Phoenix, the chosen one of destiny. Then who are you?"
Qinglong looked at Xie Wanxun, but only received a cold reception.
It listlessly lowered its head and left the space of consciousness.
Back in the cave, the once towering Azure Dragon transformed into a small Azure Snake, coiling around Xie Wanxun's neck.
Xie Wanxun threw it into a new space stone without any mercy, ignoring the shouting Azure Dragon.
Xie Wanxun turned around and saw thousands of spirit beasts kneeling before her, their eyes dull but their movements extremely devout.
"It's time to wrap this up." Xie Wanxun said calmly. With a wave of her hand, the spiritual power of all the spirit beasts gathered towards her and instantly turned into demonic energy.
Black mist spread out around Xie Wanxun, completely engulfing the entire Wan Zhang Yuan Lake and extending from the lake to every corner of the secret realm.
In the realm of gods.
"go to hell!"
The Golden Crow Sword pierced Xie Wanxun's chest, but she quickly turned into a broken puppet and fell to the ground.
Ye Qianqian's face turned pale; she had fallen for their trap!
