Chapter 258- The Black-Bellied Demon Cultivator’s Senior Brother VS The Righteous Young Junior Brother (23)
The man screamed in agony, seemingly only able to maintain his sanity by thinking of Mu Jin’s moist, cat-like eyes and sweet smile.
Unwilling to give up! He wanted to live and didn’t want to die just like this because only by living could he have the hope of seeing that person again.
In his mind, there was only one thought: to see him, to see him, to see him!
Even if it meant enduring all kinds of pain just for a distant glimpse, he would gladly exchange it for that.
It felt as though there was some kind of mystical connection, and the man felt that the person was meant to belong to him and that he should never let go. It seemed that, unbeknownst to him, his love for that little fellow had already penetrated to his very core, becoming so deeply ingrained that it was impossible to extricate himself from it.
This obsession was what held the thread in Ning Yizhou’s mind and allowed him to truly endure the invasion of the demonic energy.
As his demon core shattered, the demonic energy continued to invade his body. The demonic energy throughout his body began to circulate, gathering in his dantian and starting to rebuild his cultivation, saving his life.
However, even so, Ning Yizhou’s cultivation dropped drastically, and he could no longer maintain his original form or human appearance. He was left with a monstrous, half-human, half-beast appearance.
Cultivating demons with a demon body—who would have thought that after all these years, a demon cultivator could actually succeed in such a transformation? His powerful spiritual soul helped him resist the loss of sanity but nearly cost him his life.
Even so, if someone saw his terrifying appearance now, with demonic energy swirling around him, they would only see him as a monster.
The transformation of his entire cultivation system consumed the last bit of his strength. Eventually, Ning Yizhou could no longer withstand his exhaustion, and after the pain subsided, he fell into a deep sleep, losing consciousness.
Meanwhile, Mu Jin was diligently forming his Golden Core. He could feel the droplets in his dantian gradually coming together, finally forming a golden, spherical core.
This should be the golden elixir, and at the same time, he also felt that the rules of heaven were forming around him, and he knew that he would soon experience the thunder tribulation.
Even though Mu Jin had tried very hard to speed up, it still took him two months to retreat this time. There was a rumbling thunder outside, just outside the room where Mu Jin was retreating. He knew that this thunder tribulation must be experienced.
Even for the sake of the smooth practice in the future, if he used magic tools to avoid it, it would only have bad results. So he instantly untied all the magic arrays outside the room, and directly let the black thunder above the nine heavens hit him directly.
Mu Jin thought that there would be several more black thunders next, but he didn’t expect that there would be only one. Although the feeling of the thunder hitting his body made him feel very painful, Mu Jin, who had experienced countless thunder tribulations, thought that such a thunder tribulation was too light in his eyes.
So he became a cultivator in the early stage of the golden elixir in an incredible and smooth state. He pinched a clean dust tactic and swept away the charred black on his body. The torn robes were also replaced. Mu Jin couldn’t wait to see his lover and share with him the joy of his improved strength.
But he didn’t expect that when he left the room, he was greeted only by the solemn male protagonist Mu Shaoyuan and Mao Kun.
In two months, the demon cultivators made some small moves, and some of the demon cultivators’ spies were also cleared out. The high-level officials of Qingliu Sect gathered together, so even though Mu Jin’s Dan formation was a thing worth mentioning, Luo Kangde was still in the main hall and had no time to rush over.
As for the alliance between the demon cultivators and the demon cultivators, ordinary Qingliu Sect disciples were still unaware of it for the time being. Everyone only knew that Mu Shaoyuan encountered a sudden attack by the demon cultivators on the way back to the sect, and Ning Yizhou died with the demon cultivator in order to save him, and even fell off the cliff, leaving no trace of his body.
The death of the amiable senior brother made countless disciples in Qingliu Sect sad and regretful, and the saddest ones were naturally Mao Kun and Mu Shaoyuan.
They knew that Mu Jin would come out after experiencing the thunder tribulation, so they waited here quietly for him to tell him about the senior brother’s experience, but when they really saw him, they really found it difficult to speak.
Mu Jin saw the faces of Mu Shaoyuan and Mao Kun, and scanned the surroundings but did not find Ning Yizhou. Suddenly, a bad thought flashed through his mind. Looking directly at the two people in front of him, Mu Jin asked them: “Where is the senior brother? Where is the senior brother?”
Mu Shaoyuan pursed his lips and did not know how to start. On the other side, Mao Kun also showed a look of grief on his face and said to Mu Jin: “Junior brother Mu, Shaoyuan met a demon cultivator on the way back to Qingliu Sect. It happened that the senior brother came, and he died with the demon cultivator in order to save Shaoyuan.”
When Mu Jin heard Mao Kun’s words, he became stiff for a moment, and felt cold all over.
Although he had experienced countless worlds, his lover would be in danger from time to time. But this was the first time he heard that his lover would die in his own world. And he was unaware of all this, and even became the last person to know.
After the initial panic, Mu Jin quickly calmed down. At this moment, he felt even more strange about his retreat to break through, which made him come back to his senses in a moment of pain in his heart.
No way! His lover was such a strong existence, how could he be killed so easily?
He didn’t believe it. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it!
The current 003 couldn’t give him more information, so Mu Jin could only try to calm down his mind. With red eyes, he said to Mao Kun in front of him: “Where is the body of the senior brother? Where is he buried now?”
Hearing Mu Jin’s question, Mu Shaoyuan said in a hoarse voice: “Senior Brother Ning fell off a cliff after dying together with the demon cultivator, and his body was not found.”
Falling off a cliff! That means no one can see him alive or dead. Although this result is not good, Mu Jin was slightly relieved in his heart, which is much better than seeing his lover’s body.
Hearing Mu Shaoyuan’s words, Mu Jin hurriedly recalled the plot. Thinking of the original plot, his lover had also encountered a demon cultivator near Qingliu Sect and had a fierce fight with the other party.
Afterwards, although his lover killed the demon cultivator, Ning Yizhou’s demon pill was shattered because of this, and he began to hide everywhere. Eventually, he cultivated magic with a demon body and even became a very difficult boss-level character, but was still killed by the male protagonist Mu Shaoyuan.
Mu Jin clearly remembered that in the original storyline, it was said that Ning Yizhou’s demon pill was shattered, but he unexpectedly saved his life with the help of demonic energy. The painful process and the man’s hideous face were described in detail.
Was it actually the pain that his lover was experiencing when he was tripped by the matter of retreating to form a pill? Mu Jin clenched his fists suddenly, and he realized that this time the heaven was trying to turn his lover’s original fate back to the starting point.
But fortunately, he was there, and he would never let his lover suffer alone. The most important thing was that this time, Ning Yizhou went through such hardships to protect Mu Shaoyuan because of his own reasons.
Seeing the obvious guilt and sadness on Mu Shaoyuan’s face, and thinking that he was the last person to see his lover, Mu Jin said to Mao Kun on the side: “Brother Mao Kun, can you leave for a while? I want to talk to Shaoyuan, after all, he is the last person to see the eldest brother.”
Mu Jin has been in retreat for a long time, and they, the brothers, are also aware of some of the things that Mu Shaoyuan should have said before. As for what Mao Kun and others didn’t know, only the high-level officials of Qingliu Sect knew.
So Mao Kun only thought that it was because Mu Jin and Ning Yizhou had a deep relationship, so he naturally wanted to hear more details. Seeing Mu Jin’s sad eyebrows, Mao Kun sighed deeply, comforted him a few words, and had to turn around and leave.
Ning Yizhou and Mu Shaoyuan were the only two people left in the small courtyard. Mu Jin casually set up a soundproof magic circle, raised his head and said to Mu Shaoyuan: “Shaoyuan, can you tell me the details of the situation at that time? What happened at that time?”
So Mu Shaoyuan told Mu Jin about the situation at that time. Ning Yizhou turned into the prototype of the white tiger to protect him. Although he finally killed the demon cultivator, he was seriously injured and the demon elixir fragmented, and the demonic energy invaded his body. After so much time has passed, Ning Yizhou is probably in a bad situation.
Mu Jin heard Mu Shaoyuan’s words and the tragic situation at that time, and felt great grief in his heart. However, he also felt more firmly that his lover must be alive.
