Everyone found it somewhat unbelievable.
The Evil Cult actually came looking for Li Chen?
They weren't stupid; they understood each other from the start of the conversation, even though they hadn't.
Child of Destiny, or something else entirely.
But Li Chen actually has connections with these Evil Cults, and judging from their conversation, these Evil Cults are very likely here for Li Chen.
Su Xian walked over to Li Chen and whispered, "Perhaps I need to talk to you."
Li Chen nodded. He naturally understood the emotions of the crowd, after all, he was connected with Evil Cult.
Su Xian glanced at the ordinary people who had just been released from control not far away and said, "Did these Evil Cults come for you?"
Because he wasn't with Li Chen before, and even after leaving the Secret Realm, he returned to the Bird's Nest with everyone else.
Naturally, this led to encounters with Evil Cults.
The intentions of those Evil Cults are quite clear: they are looking for someone.
Su Xian guessed it in a flash.
Now that the fact is before him, he has no choice but to accept it.
That was the person the Evil Cult was looking for— Li Chen.
Li Chen remained expressionless and replied, "Yes, and no."
Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that I'm now powerless to control my own destiny.
"But I'm not a member of Evil Cult. After all, if I were Evil Cult, I wouldn't be standing here fighting alongside you right now."
Su Xian looked intently into Li Chen's calm eyes, as if trying to discern some other emotion.
A few seconds of silence...
"Li Chen, if you have any difficulties, you can try to tell me."
"We've all seen it all."
"Your reluctance to form relationships or connections with others, while genuine, also makes me sense your inner loneliness."
Even Su Zhe sometimes doesn't understand you.
"We all know you have your reasons and secrets, but we've never asked."
"After all, everyone carries a secret buried deep in their heart, but all I want to say now is that, Li Chen, you don't just have yourself behind you now, you also have many supportive companions."
"At least you're no longer the lonely boy you once were."
Li Chen looked up slightly at the sky, which was streaked with red light, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.
How could he not know all this? It was because of all this that he wanted to keep getting stronger and take off that puppet costume.
If he had been deprived of the light and plunged into darkness, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
But now, that's no longer possible...
Su Xian patted Li Chen on the shoulder and went to help the ordinary people as well.
Li Chen was left standing there, motionless for a long time.
The fighting at Canghai Pass has begun to subside.
The number of Eerie Monsters outside the wall has decreased by more than half, but they are still relentlessly attacking this pass.
The battle on the wall continues.
Jun Liang's purple hair danced wildly, and he gripped a purple longsword, saying, "Junior brother, stop."
First Seat snorted coldly and said, "No need, this hurdle has already been overcome today."
The knife in his hand was seen to have plunged directly into the wall.
Countless cracks were shimmering with a purple light.
Jun Liang's expression changed slightly, and he scolded, "If you really insist on doing this, there will be no turning back!"
First Seat laughter, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. "I once said that when I leave that Sword Mountain, everything in this world will wither away."
"Isn't this what we sword cultivators strive for?"
"I've done it now."
Jun Liang's hand, gripping the longsword, was swollen. He angrily retorted, "You shouldn't have done that!!"
"Sword cultivators cultivate the Dao, they cultivate the heart."
Your heart has been completely corrupted.
He looked at Jun Liang with First Seat cold gaze and said, "Corruption? My heart has never been corrupted."
"We are fundamentally different, so how could you possibly understand me?"
"Back then, my master banished me from the mountain and broke my Sword Dao with a single blow. Why didn't you appear to stop him then?"
"Now you're bringing it up again in front of me, making me worry."
"Don't I want to fix it?"
"Don't I want to stand upright and honest before the world?"
Jun Liang remained silent...
The light beneath their feet grew ever brighter, radiating a dazzling purple glow.
From a distance, the entire wall surrounds the two figures in a circle, extending all the way to the bottom.
This is the sword energy carved out First Seat fighting.
And those sword energies were like stone cutters, constantly penetrating deeper.
First Seat is no weakling; he possesses the strength of the Calamity Realm expert, and his Sword Dao is also extremely formidable.
Jun Liang gripped the purple longsword in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Never mind... I was wrong."
"Perhaps my master did make a mistake back then."
"But the younger generation shouldn't have to bear the burden of past grievances..."
At this First Seat understood what he was about to do and roared.
"It's just a minor loophole at a checkpoint."
Is it worth it?
However, the figure quickly began to retreat.
Jun Liang opened his eyes, a glint of light seeming to emanate from his pale purple pupils, and asked, "Was it worth it?"
"That's a good question. My master once said something similar to me."
But I didn't answer.
But now perhaps I already have the answer.
"The reason your master once severed your Sword Dao was because cultivating the Guardian Dao would backfire and lead to demonic possession."
First Seat complex look flashed across his eyes.
Jun Liang didn't finish his sentence; his voice was soft, "Now my master has passed away."
"Then I will take the blame for his anger."
At this moment, purple knives and swords appeared around his body, circling him.
The sword energy that was still penetrating deeper into the walls was drawn out.
Empty~empty~empty~
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out continuously.
Jun Liang remained expressionless, directly blocking each sword strike with his body.
Until the blood had soaked through the entire garment.
However, he did not fall.
He slowly said, "103 sword energies."
To withstand a hundred sword energies from the Calamity Realm sword cultivator without collapsing is already an act of extreme ruthlessness.
First Seat said calmly, "You should leave. At least for now, since my mind hasn't changed, I won't kill you."
He could see Jun Liang was already at his limit after enduring a hundred of his sword strikes.
Pfft~
Jun Liang spat out a mouthful of blood, removed a jet-black needle from the blood-stained Rat Special Card in front of his chest, smiled, and murmured...
"I never thought I'd use something like this."
In an instant~
His aura, which should have dissipated, began to gather once more.
The wounds on his body are healing rapidly.
First Seat sighed softly and said, "Is it really going to be like this?"
Jun Liang did not respond, but the aura emanating from him grew increasingly terrifying.
First Seat gripped his long sword, closed his eyes slightly, and removed the six-eyed mask from his face. He had an ordinary appearance, but a scar that ran across his entire cheek made him look quite ferocious.
"Come on, senior brother, let me see if my Dao is stronger today, or yours!!"
At this moment, he does not represent Evil Cult, nor does he belong to any party.
He is fighting for his own conscience.
