Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 368 Dawn Before Darkness

In the morning, the sun shines on the earth again, bringing new light to every corner.Although the day that is about to usher in the Dingtian Mountain Range is not so bright.

Bundles of golden threads were also poured on the Book Collection Pavilion of the Po Yue Sect, lingering on a figure curled up in a corner.At this time, there was still a book open on his lap, and one hand was resting weakly on the pages. It seemed that he was about to turn the pages, but in the end he fell asleep because he was too tired.It's just that even in his sleep, his spirit doesn't seem to be stable.

The manager of the Library Pavilion saw this scene when he entered the door, he could only shake his head helplessly, stepped forward and pushed him.

"Wake up, wake up, have you been here all night? Why, did you find the information you were looking for?"

Without pushing twice, Luo Dixing woke up suddenly, and when he saw the environment in front of him clearly, he suddenly grabbed the administrator's arm with straight eyes: "What time is it now?!"

After getting an accurate answer, Luo Dixing didn't even bother to say thank you, he got up without stopping and rushed towards the arena.

After working for a long time, I still haven't found any available information.

I'm so useless... I can't help anything, what else can I do?

And at this time in the arena.

Although the competition hadn't started yet, disciples from all sects and sects came very early.After all, it is the final championship match, and the excitement and anticipation of the audience can be imagined.

The hottest topic among them was naturally whether Ye Shuo could create another miracle.However, whenever someone raises this section, another group of people will immediately refute it with laughter.In any case, Mo Liangcheng's status as a quasi-champion is deeply ingrained in everyone's eyes, and no one can break his genius myth, not even that rookie dark horse.

For some reason, the two contestants of the Fragmented Star Faction arrived late today.But when they appeared, everyone immediately noticed their changes.

Shen Yating's strength has been at the third stage of Qi Gathering for a long time, but overnight, she miraculously rose to the peak of the fourth stage of Qi Gathering!It was close to being promoted two levels in a row, but what was rare was that her spiritual power fluctuations were still very calm, as if she could take a crucial step at any time.It's no wonder that today's Shen Yating is extraordinarily flamboyant and enthusiastic, as if she is the protagonist in this barren arena!

However, it seems that Shen Yating's change is not only about strength.Under her thicker makeup than usual, there is a more mature feminine flavor.This also added a bit of coquettishness to her usual cool demeanor.

Compared to most of the female disciples who are young and immature, Shen Yating at this moment will naturally reveal an irresistible temptation every time she raises her hands and throws her feet.Presumably, the increase in strength has also transformed her temperament from the inside out.

If the miracle happened only once, and the disciples of the Broken Star Sect would still be shocked, then when Ruan Shi also jumped two levels without any sequelae and reached the third stage of Qi Gathering, everyone would have been directly stunned up.More importantly, how long has it been since Ruan Shi broke through to the gas-gathering level?Was his road against the sky really out of control once he started?

Coupled with the simultaneous breakthrough of Ruan Shi and Shen Yating, it also aroused the imagination of many disciples, and some even laughed and said, "You two are really destined, so let's just be together!"

Ruan Shi stood beside Shen Yating, smiling and humbly saying "it's just luck" to all the congratulations.The perfect etiquette and self-cultivation have won him a lot of praise.

Shen Yating's eyes stayed on Ruan Shi all the time.She looked coldly at this well-dressed beast socializing freely among the disciples, and couldn't help tightening her fists at her side, and her nails pierced deeply into the palm of her hand.

As long as she sees this person, she will think of that dirty night, what he did to herself... Until now, her legs still can't be fully closed, and every pain is a symbol of humiliation, She really hated this man, and wished she could tear him into pieces...!

Just when Shen Yating felt ruthless in her heart, she suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in her chest.The pain was fierce, and once it appeared, it hurt the soul.The pain made her groan involuntarily, pressing her chest tightly with one hand, and bent down in pain.

Ruan Shi noticed Shen Yating's strange behavior, and helped her up: "Senior Sister Yating, are you alright?"

As soon as Shen Yating felt his touch, her whole body trembled like an electric shock, and she ruthlessly shook off his hand, but this action intensified the pain, making her eyes black with pain.

Seeing this scene, Ruan Shi also figured out the reason for her pain.At the moment, I didn't do any more support, but just lowered my voice, and said lightly: "In this life, you don't want to resist me anymore. Now you are my soul slave, and our souls are connected. If I die, you will die too .”

Shen Yating endured the pain, gritted her teeth and stared at him: "You dog thief, I'd rather die with you!"

Ruan Shi smiled: "You have a strong temper, unfortunately, you can't do it even if you die together. Soul slaves are absolutely unable to kill the master, even if you just have such a thought, it will make you miserable, and you can't even buy murder." Arrived."

When Shen Yating was once again convulsed by the pain in her soul, Ruan Shi put one hand on her shoulder and forcibly pulled her over, letting her stand side by side with him, and at the same time leaned into her ear and whispered: "Life is like this. Since you can't resist, then learn to enjoy it. Didn't I treat you well enough last night—?"

Different from the "spring spirit" on this side, the seat of the Fentian Sect at this time was full of awe before the coming of the great war.

Mo Liangcheng's gaze was unprecedentedly firm: "Master, I have figured it out. I will definitely find out his true identity in this competition." Looking at the still empty arena at this time, his voice gradually sank. : "If he is not a demon, then I will not let anyone wrong him; but if he is really a demon, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"

It was mainly the death of the young master of Xingxiu Sect that prompted Mo Liangcheng's mentality to change drastically.

Before the start of the match, Lin Jiaxiang didn't know him at all. Even if he died, it was just "Ye Shuo killed someone" to him.Although he also had resentment towards Ye Shuo, it was only out of moral indignation.

But the death of the young master of Xingxiu Sect, to Mo Liangcheng, represented "Ye Shuo killed someone I knew".The meanings of the two are naturally very different.

And from this incident, he also fully saw the cruelty and cunning of the devil, and this knowledge made him feel cold.If the opponent is really a demon, then he doesn't need any reason to slaughter humans.No matter how sincere you are, you can't cover up the cold heart of Remo.

If the other party is just a bloodthirsty spiritual practitioner, Mo Liangcheng will not have any great awareness of doing justice for the sky.But if the other party is a demon, then everything will be different.

This is a war between two races, and it is a war in which each wants to exterminate the other!Kindness to the demons would be cruelty to all human beings.Mo Liangcheng never dared to gamble with the safety of his family members on this friendship that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Even though he had made up his mind, Mo Liangcheng still left Ye Shuo with one last leeway.In this arena, unless he can confirm that the opponent is a demon, he will never easily kill.This can be regarded as his last benevolence and righteousness.

While Xu Wuji was speaking in Mo Liangcheng, he did not forget to inspect his whole body with the power of his soul.The sapling of the Dark Feather had grown to about two-thirds of its height at this time. This gap should be made up for immediately when he saw Ye Shuo revealing his demonic appearance on the ring.My own plan is about to come true, and the unification of the six sects is just around the corner!

At the same time, Xu Wuji also noticed another thing.When Mo Liangcheng was talking about Ye Shuo just now, his eyes were always clear, and he would no longer be tortured by negative emotions.

Does it hurt now?Could it be that when the dark feather grows to a certain height, it will no longer eat back at the host?Xu Wuji was both excited and worried.

On the one hand, it is good that his disciples don't have to suffer, but he has to worry about it. If Mo Liangcheng's heart is completely calmed down because of his determination at this time, he will no longer generate hatred, and can no longer stimulate the growth of the dark feathers. What should he do if he gets emotional again at the last moment?

Human emotions are too complicated and changeable, and too many people forget their promises and oaths because of being influenced by emotions, and finally do things that run counter to their original wishes.Therefore, in comparison, Xu Wuji still believes in the Feather of Darkness.

"But Cheng'er, you also need to know that once you kill him in the ring, you will inevitably bear the hatred of the entire Xuantian sect. Have you... really thought it through?" Then Xu Wuji asked again tentatively .Even at the last moment, he still did not give up his efforts to raise the Dark Feather.

Mo Liangcheng nodded lightly: "I know, I already have this awareness. And it's not just the Xuantian faction, killing a contestant, I will definitely be hostile and feared by everyone, and even my As a real demon. But as long as the Dingtian Mountain Range can be protected from the threat of demons, I am willing... to bear this hatred alone."

"As for the other members of the Xuantian faction," Mo Liangcheng calmly cast his gaze in the direction of the Xuantian faction, Qi Lan and his advisors were chatting and laughing around Ye Shuo, cheering him on, and He Lianfeng was straightening his collar... ...If it weren't for this, maybe I would become one of them.But now, everything is impossible, the difference between man and devil, they are doomed to be irreconcilable.

"They stay with a monster day and night, and they will be harmed by him sooner or later. What I am doing now is also saving them. In the future, I think they will understand. If they are obsessed with their obsession, they will insist on being with the monster and will be willing to fall. At that time, I...wouldn't care what they think any more."

When Mo Liangcheng uttered the last sentence, his gaze fluctuated slightly, revealing a bit of sadness.Although it was fleeting, it was still captured extremely keenly by nothingness.

Yes, he said he didn't care, but how could he not care about the sincere friendship in the past?

"No, in order to prevent them from trying to revive that monster, the best way is to completely wipe out this sect that once worked with demons!"

Taking this opportunity, Xu Wuji finally spread out his ideas and instilled them in Mo Liangcheng.After all, the purpose of killing Ye Shuo was to pave the way for the extermination of the Xuantian faction. If after the success of this matter, Mo Liangcheng still opposed his unification plan due to nostalgia for old feelings, then nothingness would be really tight in the chest.

Sure enough, upon hearing this sentence, Mo Liangcheng's face suddenly changed sharply, he held onto Xu Wuji's sleeve, and begged urgently: "No...don't! Master, they are human beings after all, they just suffered from monsters. The so-called ignorance is not a crime. After the Xuantian Alliance is also brought under Master’s command, let’s give them a chance and don’t hurt anyone’s life. Otherwise, if I get rid of a monster today, the Dingtian Mountain Range will still be the same in the future. Blood is flowing in rivers, so what's the point of the sacrifice I made today?"

Seeing Mo Liangcheng's anxious look, Xu Wuji sighed silently.As expected, he guessed correctly, the child's heart was still too soft after all.But since he has already admitted that he "takes down the Xuantian Alliance", it seems that it does not affect the overall situation by leaving a few ants alive for the time being.Anyway, when the time comes, the entire Dingtian Mountain Range will be his own, and no one will want to have right and wrong under his nose.

Thinking of this, Wu Wuji nodded: "Okay. As long as Ye Shuo dies and the Xuantian faction don't take the initiative to attack, I won't hurt their lives." Then he patted Mo Liangcheng's shoulder: " Cheng'er, don't feel psychological pressure in the ring."

The most important thing now is the game in front of us.As long as Ye Shuo dies, the Xuantian faction will have to fight if they don't want to in future wars!

……

The energetic voice of the referee, amplified by the microphone, overwhelmed the noise from every corner.

"The final decisive battle is coming, which also means that this year's seven sects competition is coming to an end, parting is always so sad... But at this moment, I hope everyone will still give us the warmest applause I wish the two contestants the best of luck!"

When the thunderous applause rang out, the referee took a deep breath and shouted: "Okay, let's proceed to the first part first. The two contestants please line up at the front and receive the weapons you deposited earlier!"

When Mo Liangcheng passed the audience expressionlessly, Situ Yucheng suddenly pulled him back.

"Brother Liangcheng, I don't know what happened to you. But you once pointed me out on the field, I know you are not a bad person. And Ye Shuo, he is not a bad person either. I really don't want to see the relationship between you two. This is what happened. If there is anything I can do to help you..."

Mo Liangcheng hesitated for a moment, but finally shook off Situ Yucheng's hand resolutely.

"No." After a moment's pause, Mo Liangcheng turned around and looked him straight in the eyes, and added seriously: "It's really nothing."

Our affairs are not something you can understand, nor can you manage them.

From the beginning, I had planned to solve it alone.I don't want to embarrass anyone.

Situ Yucheng's tone was very sincere, and it really made Mo Liangcheng feel a kind of heart-pounding concern.But what he needs now is not warmth, but a ruthless heart to break up with that public enemy of mankind in the ring!At this point, he didn't want anyone or anything to shake him.

Luo Dixing had just rushed to the arena, and what he saw was Mo Liangcheng's tragic eyes and his resolute back, which made him stunned for a moment.
