Chapter 225

Hua Xiang Rong's words immediately reminded Xie Bi An. In the midst of a wretched chaos, he had not seen Lan Chui Han and the others for a long time. The battle between humans and ghosts revolved around the Yin Yang Monument, and so where is the vicious battle between humans?

Xie Bi An asked anxiously: "What did she do? Where's Lan Chui Han? Have you seen him?"

"Those sects that sided with her from the Immortal Alliance were all summoned to Fengdu by her. The Immortal Alliance has lost its power. She will take advantage of the chaos to dig out many people's cores. She can't get your core for a while, so she needs the human core of other high-ranking cultivators to sustain her flesh. This is how she survived in these three years." Hua Xiang Rong stretched out a pair of seemingly slender, but actually has the strength of a thousand pounds, arms. The bow bent into a full moon, and the arrow was pointed directly at Fan Wu She, "Everyone is her prey."

When Xie Bi An saw that Jiang Qu Lian had Cui Jue and Night Patrol holding him back, he swung his sword back at Fan Wu She, forcefully pushing his fatigued body and ran towards the direction where the heavenly thunderbolt had appeared.

Corpses were lying everywhere in Fengdu City, and there’s fire in all directions. Many people who have lived here all their lives thought that people and ghosts will always live together in peace. As long as they let out this day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, it is enough, but they do not know that the balance between the two worlds is due to the existence of the Underworld. Countless underworld generals and Yin servants perform their duties in Fengdu and all over Jiuzhou to stop the ghosts from rising in revolt, otherwise people will become food for the ghosts.

The Fengdu of today has become a real ghost town. It showed the people in Jiuzhou what happens once the underworld gets out of control. This tragic sight will eventually become a nightmare for the residents on earth.

After crossing halfway through the city, Xie Bi An finally found them.

The immortal cultivation world was once unified by the Immortal Alliance. With Wuliang Sect at the helm, Li Bu Yu is entirely worthy of being the most powerful person in this world. But seeing that the Central Plains immortal cultivation world is no match for a demonic girl from outside the Pass, the Immortal Alliance’s vitality was greatly wounded, almost falling apart just like the Daming Zong Clan a hundred years ago. Those sects that used to follow Wuliang Sect’s lead were facing the chaotic and turbulent situation and anxious to find a way out for themselves.

Before today, they are still concerned about Wuliang Sect and other famous sects, but seeing Li Bu Yu is already a withered wood and rotten plant* and the Chunyang Sect lost their sect leader and the treasure of the sect in succession, the sun is sinking in the west*. Although Xianyue Pavilion is young and strong, in the end, its foundation is not stable. Yet under the leadership of Qi Meng Sheng, Cangyu Sect is almost invincible, and they gradually got more fans in the past three years.

Xie Bi An never thought that he would see such a ridiculous and ironic scene in this earth’s purgatory ---- many sects actually supported Qi Meng Sheng as the new leader of the Immortal Alliance by speaking forcefully and with justice*.

And the former powerful alliance leader, Li Bu Yu, is at the point of death. The Immortal Alliance people were dead and wounded, even if Lan Chui Han and Song Chun Gui are still holding their swords to fight, their defeat is probably already doomed.

Xie Bi An looked at Lan Chui Han covered in blood, and looked at the cultivators loyal to the Immortal Alliance with expressions of despair, anger rushed straight into the sky. Li Bu Yu is certainly hateful, but the existence of the Immortal Alliance’s contribution cannot be left unrecognized with regards to the immortal cultivation world’s hundred years of peace and the prosperity of the people, and now it is falling apart in front of his eyes, which is really hard to accept. He looked angrily at the opportunists and growled: "You bunch of villains who see the wind and set the helm. Back then, you all relied on the Immortal Alliance, divided up my Daming Zong Clan completely, filled your bellies and strengthened your family properties. Now that the Cangyu Sect has become rich and powerful, the heretical barbarians outside the Pass, who used to be looked down on by you guys, became an orthodox immortal family again. You guys even wanted to elect a core stealing thief to be the alliance leader. You guys simply have no sense of shame!”

This scolding remark made many people’s faces hot. Immediately, someone jumped to his feet, and mocked loudly: "As for having no sense of shame, who can compare to Emperor Kong Hua who killed his brother and father for the throne? You and the Supreme Demon are both great calamities on earth, and you guys can even be reincarnated as human beings. It is clear that the underworld is not as fair as what the legend says."

"Yes, what karma, good and evil have retribution, there really is retribution, they have long become lonely ghosts, why can still be human."

"I'm afraid it's just to swindle us. It's a rare time to be human, might as well, might as well be like Qi Xianzun this free and clear, anyway, as long as the cultivation is high, down to hell also do not have to be punished."

"Exactly. What karma? Good and evil have retributions. If retribution is real, they would have been lonely and wild ghosts since long ago. How can they still be humans?”

"I'm afraid it's just to deceive us. It's rare to become a human once. Might as well, might as well be free and easy like Immortal Lord Qi. Anyway, as long as the cultivation is profound, we don’t have to be punished if we go to the underworld.”

“Right. What good and evil have retributions? It’s all a lie.”

Under the cover of the flickering firelight, Xie Bi An saw pairs of greedy, cold and ruthless eyes. They were as if possessed by fierce ghosts. Human nature and the heart of Dao all disappeared at this moment. They are ready to pounce at any time to eat the raw meat and drink the blood.

Lan Chui Han spat a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Bi An, no need to talk nonsense with them. The immortal cultivation world died today. From now on, there is no Dao on earth."

"Shameless boast. Who are you to define what is the Dao? You’re just an immature and inexperienced hedonistic son of rich parents.”

"Lan Chui Han, you merely had a good reincarnation and relied on the ancestral cover to have today, but do you know that it is difficult for our small families and businesses to be inherited? Getting involved in this battle for no reason, my younger brother was wronged and driven to death in Chidi City, what the hell is it for?!” The more that man said, the more agitated he became, "Who the leader of the Immortal Alliance is, we don’t care at all!"

"Yes, whoever can lead the immortal cultivation world to continue to prosper will be the new alliance leader."

A faint smile was caught in the corners of Qi Meng Sheng’s mouth. She watched Xie Bi An from above, mocking him undisguised as she spoke, "For a hundred years, the immortal cultivation world has been standing still and ceased to make progress, rejecting many effective cultivation techniques, but only because it is afraid of having its power divided. Otherwise, how is Alliance Leader Li, who also relied on human core consumption to transform his body, more noble than a demonic girl like me?"

"Exactly. I heard that Alliance Leader Li had mediocre qualifications as a child. He must have eaten Zong Ming He’s human core, as Immortal Lord Qi said."

"Yes, he also ate human cores! Sanctimonious. Hypocrite!"

Li Bu Yu covered his heart. Blood was dripping down from the corners of his lips constantly. His gray and cloudy pupils were no longer able to transmit any light.

Facing such a repeating criticism continuously, Xie Bi An was feeling a mixture of emotions. He had always wanted to take revenge on Li Bu Yu, so that Li Bu Yu's reputation would be swept away and he would not have a good end. After all, most of the tragedies in his past life and present life were blamed on this man. Now that his wish had come true, he had no time to be happy, because there was a bigger and more hateful enemy in front of him. He clenched his fists, trembled all over, and then yelled, "Enough!"

Qi Meng Sheng said in a cold voice: "Emperor, Li Bu Yu has harmed you a lot. Are you going to defend him?”

"Li Bu Yu deserves to die, and you deserve to die even more." Xie Bi An stared fiercely at Qi Meng Sheng, hating her so much that he almost gnashed his teeth, "Between you and Li Bu Yu, who is the most hypocritical, the most vicious, and the one who deserves to go to Hell?!”

After Qi Meng Sheng was slightly stunned, she laughed wildly again, "Li Bu Yu should go to hell, and I should not die." She spread out her hands, "Hand him over."

"Never." Xie Bi An saw that the immortal cultivation world was at the end of its rope, and the underworld was equally in danger. The human realm, the ghost realm, how could they fall at the same time?! He no longer cared about his face and the decency of the Daming Zong Clan. He decided to stake it all on one throw* and yelled, "All of you present, do you guys really know what kind of evil monster the person you are following is?!"

Qi Meng Sheng narrowed her eyes.

Xie Bi An pointed his Junlan sword at Qi Meng Sheng. Pain, hate, and bitterness caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, "I never thought that one day I would kill you with this sword you gave me, Xu, Zhi, Nan."

PS: when I read the raw chapter back then, I was like ‘the heck?’ There are a few little little signs in the previous chapters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

PS from Emzie: HOLY-- *the theories start running*

 

withered wood and rotten plant*[枯木朽株]-- weak and powerless person

the sun is sinking in the west*[日薄西山]--- declining rapidly

speaking forcefully and with justice*[振振有词]--- to argue with the courage of one's convictions

stake it all on one throw*[孤注一掷]--- It is a metaphor for using all one's strength to take one last risk in a critical situation.

 

Edited on.... Dang,  I forgot to say when for this one too lol (Emzie)
