After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1045 The Death of Xiao Ling, A Huge Mushroom Cloud!
Ok?
They threatened the lives of other people's Daoist partners.

At that moment, Chen Yang suddenly had a strange feeling.

I feel like I'm the evil villain.

But he quickly regained his composure.

He didn't have that much of a saintly heart. Although this action lacked morality, if you're dealing with an enemy, you might as well just admit defeat and commit suicide on the spot.

"Lingmei!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Cang Gou was clearly thrown into disarray.

The relationship between these two is something that outsiders simply cannot imagine.

For three hundred years, they supported each other through thick and thin, becoming not only Daoist partners but also spiritual companions.

They are different from Juechen.

Juechen cultivates asceticism and meditation, enduring loneliness, the more loneliness the better. As for the two of them, without each other's company, three hundred years of solitude would probably have devoured them long ago.

"Young man, let her go."

Cang Gou roared angrily, wishing he could tear Chen Yang to pieces.

But his threats had no effect on Chen Yang whatsoever, and were not intimidating at all.

"Make them stop!"

Chen Yang spoke again coldly, his voice carrying far into Cang Gou's ears.

"you……"

The greyhound gritted its teeth.

Tell those three wandering monks to stop?

If they stop, Juechen might not stop too.

With his extraordinary abilities, Juechen would surely kill those three wandering masters directly. At that time, he would have no soldiers to use, so what advantage would he have?
At that point, the situation will be completely passive.

Moreover, since this kid could threaten me with Lingmei's life to make the wandering master stop, if I give in, he will definitely continue to threaten me and make me surrender.

Was he really going to have to surrender?
For a moment, Cang Gou hesitated.

Three hundred years have passed, and this is the day we've been waiting for. We were about to be able to leave, become ancestors, and live a carefree life. How wonderful that would be! Who could have imagined that things would turn out like this?
If we compromise now, three hundred years of effort will be reduced to ashes, and once we are captured by Juechen, what good outcome can we expect?

But if he doesn't compromise, Lingmei...

"Are you angry? The mighty Canggou is being threatened by such a brat?"

"Look, your Lingmei is still waiting for you to rescue her. Don't you feel helpless?"

"Cang Gou, all you need to do is offer up your second primordial spirit, and you can obtain my source of evil karma. Kill, kill, kill..."

"Hurry up, or it will be too late. Agree to my terms, and I can help you..."

……

Just as Cang Gou was struggling with his inner conflict, a gap appeared in his mind again, which was seized by Hei Lian, whose seductive voice rang in his mind.

"Go away."

The cang dog gritted its teeth, its eyes wide open.

"No way, no way, that's your Lingmei. In your heart, she's not even as good as your second primordial spirit, is she? Canggou, how can you be so selfish? Have you forgotten..."

……

-

From a distance, Chen Yang had no idea what Cang Gou was facing. After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Cang Gou, he began to lose patience.

"It seems your brother Dog isn't treating you very well either; he doesn't care about your life at all."

Looking at Xiao Ling held in his hand, Chen Yang's words carried a hint of pity, "That's right, your previous avatar was so much better. Now, this appearance is far too ordinary. It's normal that Cang Gou dislikes you. After all, once he escapes, there are plenty of beautiful women out there. It's only because there are no other women in the secret realm that he'll even glance at you..."

This guy knows how to really hurt people.

A single, casual remark can be like stabbing someone in the heart.

"Kid, don't get cocky. You think you can use me to threaten Brother Dog? Don't even dream about it. He'll avenge me."

Xiao Ling was not provoked by Chen Yang's words. Her face was ashen, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and she met Chen Yang's gaze. "I'll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld."

Instantly, a strange energy fluctuation rose from Xiao Ling's body.

what?
Chen Yang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he almost instinctively released his grip on her hand.

The next instant, blood gushed from all seven orifices of Xiao Ling's body.

A white, nameless flame burst forth from Xiao Ling's body.

Chen Yang was startled.

He quickly retrieved the red rope, retreated swiftly, and distanced himself from Xiao Ling.

Whoohoo!
The nameless fire rapidly grew stronger, completely engulfing Xiao Ling's body.

Strangely, the flames did not harm Xiao Ling's body in the slightest, and even her clothes were undamaged.

Is she burning her primordial spirit?
Chen Yang's face twitched.

What a ruthless woman.

In order to prevent Canggou from being coerced, he so decisively chose to burn his primordial spirit and commit suicide.

This scene completely stunned Chen Yang.

Originally, they intended to use Xiao Ling to force Cang Gou to submit, but no matter how much they planned, they never expected Xiao Ling to pull this stunt.

Won't this push Cang Gou to the edge?

But by then, it was too late to stop it.

She fell to the ground, motionless. A golden lotus of the 54th grade of cultivation floated out from her body, hovering above her, completely enveloped in raging flames.

Standing atop the lotus platform was the illusory image of Xiao Ling's primordial spirit.

A woman with a beautiful face and graceful figure.

"what……"

The intense fluctuations in spiritual energy caused the primordial spirit, engulfed in flames, to emit painful screams.

"Brother Dog, let's go!"

With her last shred of reason, Xiao Ling sent her final message to Cang Gou from afar.

Immediately, the flames of the primordial spirit devoured everything, the flower of cultivation withered rapidly, and Xiao Ling's primordial spirit was quickly burned to ashes in the raging fire.

……

It seems like things have gone a bit too far.

Chen Yang's face twitched.

Xiao Ling's actions caught him somewhat off guard.

That's truly boundless love; to prevent Canggou from being coerced, she so readily gave up her life.

You must understand that Xiao Ling's original body is dead, and now only her second primordial spirit remains. If the second primordial spirit dies as well, then she will be truly dead.

In this situation, he couldn't help but sigh and ask, "What is time and love anyway?"

Unfortunately, these two are definitely villains.

Where is there any sympathy for the villain's love?

Chen Yang clenched his fist tightly, suddenly feeling a prickling sensation in his back.

In the distance, Cang Gou was completely stunned.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Xiao Ling to make such a choice, burning her primordial spirit to commit suicide right in front of him.

For a moment, Canggou's mind went blank.

died.

Lingmei is dead.

To prevent me from being coerced, Lingmei chose to die?

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

His Daoist companion, who had been with him for three hundred years, died completely right before his eyes.

No, this shouldn't be happening...

Xiao Ling's voice kept echoing in Cang Gou's mind.

……

"Ugh!"

"What a terrible thing to do!"

"Cang Gou, watching your lover die right in front of you, doesn't that feel terrible?"

"If you had agreed to my terms just now, maybe she wouldn't have died..."

"Angry? Rage! Quickly draw upon my source of evil karma, kill that brat, and perhaps you'll still have a chance to retrieve a remnant of your lover's soul..."

"Yes, yes, that's it..."

……

The seductive voice of the Black Lotus rang out once more.

Xiao Ling's death undoubtedly gave him an immense shock and a blow to his soul. The rift in his soul was torn open and magnified, and countless black substances poured into Cang Gou's body.

The closed door to his heart was pried open in that instant, and a huge amount of negative emotions filled Canggou's mind and body.

……

At the same time, Chen Yang, who was also surprised by Xiao Ling's actions, had keenly sensed Cang Gou's change.

From afar, Cang Gou held a large black banner, his body shrouded in black mist, as if he were preparing some powerful move. His already somewhat sinister face was outlined in black, making him look extremely eerie. His eyes looked as if they had been dyed with ink, a chilling black.

Even though they were hundreds of meters apart, Chen Yang couldn't help but instinctively shiver.

If you piss me off, I'll explode.

Chen Yang's Adam's apple bobbed. With Xiao Ling dead, Cang Gou was clearly no longer restrained. Although Xiao Ling had told him to leave quickly before she died, under these circumstances, Cang Gou might have already lost his temper and directly tried to fight him to the death.

Juechen was being held back by three wandering monks. If Canggou attacked him, he would probably have no choice but to run away or kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a roar came from behind Chen Yang.

But it was a water monkey.

The water monkey was covered in red fur, moved like the wind, and was fierce and violent. In its long left hand, it clutched a decaying corpse.

It was the same Dao Realm mid-stage wandering master who had previously protected Xiao Ling.

"Roar!"

Upon reaching Chen Yang's side, the water monkey threw the wandering master's corpse to the ground. It had clearly sensed the changes in the distant cang dog and immediately roared in the direction of the cang dog as a threat.

call!
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief; the arrival of the water monkey gave him a little more confidence.

"on!"

Chen Yang shouted.

The power of the water monkey is time-limited. As a late-stage Dao True Realm Divine Fiend, a being at the level of the Four Great Guardian Beasts, it can almost be said to be the power ceiling in the secret realm. What is there to worry about? Of course, we should seize the time and make a move as soon as possible.

Moreover, Cang Gou stood there for a long time without making a move. Was he brewing up some powerful attack? If he didn't attack now, were we going to wait until he finished preparing before making our move? "Roar!"

The water monkey was full of energy and was a born violent fighting maniac. It roared and pounced on the greyhound like a red streak.

The distance of over a hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye.

He raised the iron rod high and suddenly brought it down on the greyhound.

Cang Gou stood still, his body shrouded in black mist, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

The water monkey's blow could easily surpass the power of a hundred dragons. No matter how strong Canggou's physique is, he cannot withstand it with his bare hands.

However, just when the water monkey thought he was about to smash the greyhound's head with a stick and finish the job,

The greyhound finally moved.

He suddenly raised the large black banner in his hand and held it horizontally.

"boom!"

It managed to withstand the water monkey's iron rod.

"Humph!"

Cang Gou snorted coldly, and a black aura shot out from the banner, like a black dragon, straight towards the water monkey's face.

The water monkey was startled and used the recoil to quickly retreat, narrowly avoiding the impact of the black energy.

But the black mist relentlessly pursued the water monkey.

The water monkey instinctively sensed that the black mist was not a good thing, and was forced to retreat repeatedly.

"Roar!"

Soon forced into a corner, the water monkey bared its teeth and roared, raising its iron rod to strike at the black mist.

"boom!"

The black energy exploded instantly after being struck by the water monkey's staff.

The black mist spread out, splitting into ten, with streaks of black lines wrapping around the water monkey like shackles, trying to bind it.

"Roar!"

The water monkey let out a roar, and its divine and evil aura suddenly emanated outwards, radiating a powerful shockwave that barely dispersed the black aura around it.

"Humph!"

At this moment, the greyhound had already closed in.

A sword domain enveloped the area, and with a casual slash, a terrifying black sword light descended directly towards the water monkey.

Putting everything else aside, Canggou is truly powerful.

This sword strike made even the water monkey tremble.

The water monkey hurriedly raised its iron rod to defend itself.

"Keng!"

By this time, it was getting dark, and the longsword struck the iron rod, sending up a shower of sparks.

The terrifying force sent the water monkey staggering backward.

He slid for dozens of meters before finally regaining his balance.

Looking at the iron rod in his hand, he saw that it had been hacked with deep marks and was even bent.

On the other side, Cang Gou was also thrown back dozens of meters by the force, and he stuck the large banner in his left hand into the ground to stabilize himself.

He stands upright, his right hand pointing diagonally at a long sword.

His body was shrouded in black mist, as if surrounded by thousands of vengeful spirits. His pair of dark eyes were like those of a machine, cold and cruel, devoid of any emotion.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The water monkey was panting heavily, sensing great danger from the greyhound.

It is definitely a formidable rival.

Cang Gou's gaze swept across, seemingly searching for Chen Yang's figure.

However, in the short time it took him to fight the water monkey, that annoying kid had already disappeared.

"Roar!"

The water monkey roared and immediately pounced on the greyhound again.

"roll!"

Cang Gou roared in fury and slashed at the water monkey with his sword again.

Several sword lights overlapped and fell straight towards the water monkey.

Although the water monkey was fierce, it did not dare to take the attack head-on and quickly raised its iron rod to defend itself.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Unsurprisingly, the water monkey was once again sent flying by the immense force transmitted through the iron rod.

It landed tens of meters away.

The water monkey raised the iron rod and looked at it, a hint of shock clearly showing on its fierce face.

The iron rod was almost cut in half, leaving only about a third of the joint, and the whole thing was bent.

The strength of the greyhound was no less than its own; it might not be able to defeat it in a head-on confrontation. Now that its weapon was not in its proper place, it had even less of a chance to fight.

"boom!"

Just then, a black light shot down from the sky.

With a loud bang, it landed in front of the water monkey.

A huge iron hammer!

The ground was smashed into a large crater.

Without a doubt, it was Chen Yang who sent it.

"Roar!"

The water monkey roared, threw down the iron rod, and grabbed the iron hammer.

A power-type fighter naturally needs heavy weapons to unleash their full potential.

At this moment, Cang Gou glanced indifferently at the western mountains and forests.

The direction from which the hammer flew.

Without asking, that kid must be hiding in that area.

The greyhound was about to give chase, but the water monkey charged at him again, swinging its big iron hammer with an even more ferocious aura than before.

"court death!"

Cang Gou let out a cold shout and instantly unleashed countless dark sword shadows.

The sword shadows swirled around the water monkey, rapidly contracting in an attempt to restrict its advance. A massive sword light descended from the void, determined to kill the water monkey on the spot.

"boom!"

The water monkey was no ordinary creature either. With a swing of its iron hammer, the surrounding space was almost crushed by its power, and the sword light was shattered by its hammer blow.

But the next second, Cang Gou had already closed in, and the black banner in his hand struck the water monkey's back.

The water monkey sensed danger, but it was too late to dodge.

"Oh!"

I took a solid hit to the back.

His body was blasted away like a cannonball.

Cang Gou drew his sword and gave chase, clearly intending to take advantage of his weakness and kill him.

The water monkey flipped itself to its feet, and seeing the cang dog coming at it aggressively, it unexpectedly didn't fight the cang dog head-on. Instead, it picked up its hammer and turned to run away.

They disappeared into the mountains in a flash.

The greyhound stopped and did not pursue further.

On the other side, the battle between Juechen and the three wandering masters had stopped at some point.

Juechen had already disappeared without a trace.

The three wandering masters quickly returned to Cang Gou's side.

The black aura around Cang Gou subsided slightly, and the black light in his eyes also faded somewhat. A hint of struggle and hesitation appeared on his icy face.

"Chase them! Why aren't you chasing them anymore? Accept my power, and you can kill them..."

"Cang Gou, you wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word, would you? Your second primordial spirit already belongs to me..."

……

"shut up!"

Cang Gou roared, his eyes regaining some clarity, and walked directly towards the direction where Xiao Ling's body was.

Obsession!

Xiao Ling has just died. Although her primordial spirit has been burned away, as Hei Lian said before, there may still be remnants of her soul remaining.

If we could collect them and give them a new lease on life, it's not impossible.

The reason he didn't choose to pursue was because of this concern.

If too much time is wasted, even if there is a remnant soul, it will dissipate, and there will be no chance to save Xiao Ling.

"Help me, or else, don't even think about it!"

Cang Gou's face was covered in frost. He didn't know how to collect the remnant souls; it was all Hei Lian who told him. At this moment, he naturally asked Hei Lian for help.

"Ah."

Black Lotus chuckled softly, and a large amount of black substance emanated from Cang Gou's body, quickly condensing in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, a black lotus seed condensed.

The lotus seed flew to the top of Xiao Ling's corpse.

Faintly, specks of white light could be seen on Xiao Ling's corpse and in the surrounding space, converging towards the lotus seed.

"You're quite lucky. Although it's just a remnant soul, after nurturing it with my lotus seed for several years, I should be able to piece together a rough outline of its remnant soul. Then, I can plant the lotus seed and wait for it to grow, at which point she will have a chance to be reborn in a lotus body..."

Black Lotus's voice abruptly stopped here.

"not good!"

With a low shout, Cang Gou almost instinctively grabbed the two wandering masters beside him and shoved them directly in front of him.

"boom!"

A burst of violent energy suddenly erupted from beneath Xiao Ling's corpse.

explosion!

A mushroom cloud rose up instantly.

A terrifying blast wave rose hundreds of meters high.

The ground shook violently, as if struck by a comet, and the area within a radius of a hundred meters was instantly engulfed by terrifying energy waves.
