Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 69: Quarrel among the Schoolmates
Shi Li tilted his head to look at Chen Ye, his wrinkled face full of mockery.

"Why do you say that, Senior Brother?" Chen Ye's expression remained silent, without any change.

"Why do you have to act so pretentiously in front of me? I watched you grow up, and I don't know what kind of person you are. Do you still need to care about your reputation in front of a dying man like me? You deliberately led the governor to another place, and left the disciples behind to come to me alone, didn't you just want to see how I make the elixir?"

Shi Li laughed and looked at Chen Ye as if he was mocking a child who was good at lying.

Chen Ye was about to speak, but his tone froze and he stopped talking.

"Haha, aren't you also a lunatic who wants to build a foundation like crazy? It's a pity that the Blood Foundation Pill has not been refined, and you clearly know that you can't use it even if you refine it, but you still want to come and see it. How ridiculous you are.

You, Chen Ye, were born an orphan, and you only managed to make a living by serving your master's wife. But you were played around by your master's wife, and became a fake Taoist priest and a real mule, without even a blood descendant. What's the point of you learning the recipe for the blood-based pill? What's the point of it!"

Shi Li laughed so hard that he bent over, pointing at Chen Ye and laughing.

After hearing Shi Li's ridicule, Chen Ye said nothing. He just took out a piece of straw rope and threw it out. The rope grew to several feet long in the air, shaped like a dragon snake, and was about to tie up Shi Li.

Shi Li was not panicked at all, as he had already figured out how to break the spell. He just drew a few lines in the air with his hands, and the rope started to catch fire, turning into ashes that scattered on the ground.

At this time, Chen Ye waved his hand and shot three dark ghost pills, hitting Shi Li fiercely.

This is a magic spell created by Chen Ye using dozens of evil ghosts as raw materials. Anyone who comes into contact with it will be haunted by the evil ghosts and their souls will be torn apart. It is very vicious.

"Heh." Shi Li brought out a bowl of magic water, drank it in big gulps, and his whole body swelled up to the height of a two-story building.

It opened its huge mouth again, and its bright red tongue came out. It wrapped the three ghost pills and swallowed them all into its stomach.

There was an abnormal blush on Shi Li's face at this time. He burped with a smile, and the pill was covered with saliva, which sprayed back with the thick breath.

Chen Ye was also well prepared. He sacrificed a white bone banner, which rolled up and wrapped up the ghost pills, squeezing them apart.

The scattered evil spirits didn't even have time to scream before they were captured back into the white bone banner and kept as consumables for the next round of refining.

Seeing that his trick was broken, Shi Li laughed out loud, with a very sincere smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, you use Master's white bone banner better than he did back then! With time, it may be possible to refine it into a real spiritual weapon in your hands! Back then, we old bones unanimously elected you as the head, and it turned out to be right! What a pity, I can't see you carry forward the Grass Witch Cult!"

Shi Li's relieved tone was absolutely true, and the pair of iron claws he struck at Chen Ye fiercely were merciless.

Ten sharp claws came with the wind, and a cold black light emerged from the tips of the claws.

Shi Li did not hold back, this top-grade Wild Ghost Claw was really meant to tear Chen Ye to pieces!
The magic formula in Chen Ye's hand changed, and his feet moved quickly. He grabbed a straw rope with his backhand and wanted to tie up Shi Li's hands.

However, he saw death coming out of the latter's huge palm, which was half a person's length. When the straw rope touched it, it could only hold the giant palm back for a moment before it rotted and turned into grass debris.

At this time, Chen Ye shook the bone banner in his hand lightly, and a shadow of a bone demon appeared on the banner. A burly monster about ten feet tall suddenly fell to the ground. He let out a sharp scream towards the sky, stood in front of Chen Ye, and smashed the vajra in his hand fiercely.

With a "crack", Shi Li's right hand failed to be pulled back in time and broke at the wrist. Five fingers emitting black light also fell to the ground.

A large amount of blood flowed from the wound, staining the back of Shi Li's foot red, making him look very embarrassed.

Even though he suffered such a severe blow, there was no sign of pain on Shi Li's face.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth were even slightly raised, and his eyes towards Chen Ye were full of relief.

With another "crack" sound, the vajra broke Shi Li's other hand again, and blood continued to flow out from the new wound.

Shi Li was still laughing, and he laughed louder and louder, and Chen Ye stopped making a move. The White Bone Demon God stood side by side with his master, who just quietly looked at his senior brother whom he had admired since childhood.

"Brother, am I wrong? But this is seeking immortality, how can seeking immortality be wrong?" This thought suddenly popped up in Chen Ye's mind.

Only Shi Li's laughter was left in the field. The brothers stood facing each other, and Chen Ye even called back the White Bone Demon to the banner.

The tall stature that Shi Li had cultivated with secret methods only lasted for half a pack of cigarettes before it shrank back into a hunched, shriveled appearance.

He stopped laughing and glared at Chen Ye, breathing heavily. "I'm old now, I can't... anymore. Well, many of the methods you used this time were taught to you by me. Twenty years ago, with all these hidden injuries, you would not be my opponent."

"Brother, why don't you take action? If you are still willing to fight, you still have at least a 10% chance of winning." Chen Ye did not refute, but asked calmly in a low voice.

"It's strange. I killed all my sons and grandsons because I was afraid of death. Even though the elixir has not been refined, it doesn't mean I will die. But I just don't want to live anymore."

Shi Li laughed again. He had wanted to live sincerely before, and now he wanted to die sincerely as well.

As he was about to die, Shi Li showed a kind expression on his face that he had not seen in many years. He looked at Chen Ye and said softly, "Junior brother, I'll ask you to send me off."

Chen Ye was silent and took out another straw rope.

This time, Shi Li had no intention of resisting and allowed the straw rope to tie him up tightly.

He just looked up at Chen Ye again and said sadly: "You and I are brothers of the same kind. You must not end up like this."

Chen Ye didn't know how to respond for a moment, and just said woodenly: "Brother, don't worry, I will plead for you in front of the governor, and you will definitely be acquitted!"

"Hey, don't test me. You have been heartless since you were young, and you won't have any real feelings for me." Shi Li smiled with relief, and said, "I won't live anymore. I can't live anymore. I shouldn't live anymore." He paused here, "Master, junior brother, you should live well. Don't go to build your foundation. Don't go, don't."

"Repent!"

Shi Li was only halfway through his conversation with Chen Ye when he took one look at the city littered with corpses. He could no longer bear the pain in his heart and finally closed his eyes and let out a sharp howl.

His head tilted and blood oozed from his mouth. He died of self-destruction.

Chen Ye just watched silently the whole time and did not stop it. After Shi Li died, he just stood there quietly and stayed by Shi Li's side.

But after a while, Chen Ye also laughed: "Senior brother is still so easy to coax me. You promised me to send you off."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and thought about the last words his senior brother left for him, without saying a word.

I stood there for a long time, until the moonlight faded and a hint of warmth came with the rising sun.

The sun and the moon were in perfect harmony, and no roosters crowed in the city. Chen Ye was awakened by the sunlight on his shoulder.

When his eyes opened again, they had become extremely resolute.

Chen Ye stretched out his hand without hesitation and took away the black pill that was still in Shi Li's hand.

Then he brought another person from a far corner and looked the man and the pill left and right, as if thinking about something.
