Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 362 Kunlun Ruins and the Truth of the Fall
Duan Huaige: ?

Is it you guys or you guys? Why don't you make your point clearer?

Qin Shuangjiang pondered for a moment, then turned and gave Duan Huaige a look, indicating that she had already asked all the questions she wanted to ask, and now it was up to him to see if he still had any doubts that needed to be answered.

Duan Huaige pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and slowly spoke:

"There's one more question, and it's very important, Qiuqiu. I hope you can answer it..."

Yan Qiuxi's heart skipped a beat, sensing something was wrong, but she still forced a smile and replied, "Go ahead and tell me, I'll try my best to satisfy your curiosity..."

"You guys..."

"Why didn't you bring Xiao Xie with you when you drove the silver bag? Is it because of her?"

Qin Shuangjiang: "..."

Yan Qiuxi: "..."

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

"I didn't throw the party on my own initiative. You should ask the culprit, Jiang Xiyu, about this!" Miss Yan Wang decisively shifted the blame.

"Well... I just wanted to get revenge on the two of them, not on Cang Ling. Why did I have to drag her into pushing the drum?" Xi Yu, the Great Demon King, said righteously, "I didn't forbid her from participating in the Silver Handkerchief competition!"

"What, you seem to be really looking forward to having a party with Xie Cangling?" Qin Shuangjiang snorted coldly, her gaze unfriendly.

"Ahem, well, I just felt the atmosphere was too heavy, so I was just joking to lighten it up." Duan Huaige said seriously, "Qiuqiu, so you're saying that all the cultivation techniques I practice are yours? The Red Lotus Body Forging Technique was practiced by Xiao Jiang, the Spring and Autumn Sword Intent was practiced by Shuangjiang, the Azure Lotus Soul Tempering Technique was practiced by Xiao Xie... Only the Mountain and River Dao Technique is something I practiced myself."

"Then where did my Mountain and River Daoist techniques come from?"

"I don't know." Yan Qiuxi shook her head: "The causal relationship between you and the Dao of Mountains and Rivers has no origin, just like water without a source."

"Didn't I tell you?"

“No, but we suspect it might be related to Kunlun Ruins.” Miss Qiu Xi said with a solemn expression, “That’s where the Taiqing Demoness first appeared, and it’s the source of her karma.”

"Kunlun Ruins? That's the place where the military unearthed many ancient treasures, right?" Duan Huaige nodded and said, "It seems it's time to discuss with the military about going there for a visit."

"No! Xiao Duan, you can't go to Kunlun Ruins!" Jiang Xiyu's expression suddenly changed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "If you go there, you'll...die..."

When she uttered the last two words, Jiang Xiyu spoke almost as if she were gritting her teeth, as if she were under immense pressure. Yan Qiuxi was startled when she saw this and quickly made a hand seal. Three thousand strands of causal energy transformed into a cocoon around Jiang Xiyu, enveloping her inside.

"Jiang Xiyu, are you crazy! Don't you know that saying this so directly will cause you a huge backlash? Do you really think that your Undying Crimson Lotus Demon Body makes you immortal?"

Jiang Xiyu was now bleeding from the corners of her mouth and unable to speak. Her eyes were fixed on Duan Huaige, as if she had a thousand words she wanted to say—she was willing to bear the enormous risks and pressure to change Duan Huaige's fate.

The girl's divine blood was burning fiercely between her brows, and the phantom of a red lotus quietly bloomed in her eyes, silently resisting the pressure. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Duan... don't listen... the military... don't go... Kunxu..." Seeing this situation, Duan Huaige no longer cared about the danger. He immediately came out of the Mountain and River Map and tried to hug Xiao Jiang to stop her from saying anything more.

"I'm not going, I won't go! Xiao Jiang, stop talking!"

"Don't move! Don't touch her!"

As the strongest practitioner of the Dao of Cause and Effect in this world, Yan Qiuxi naturally knew what consequences Jiang Xiyu's actions would bring. Although they were rivals in love, they were now on the same boat, moving forward towards the same goal. Of course, she couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Xiyu be wiped out by the backlash of the power of cause and effect.

Jiang Xiyu's red lotus phantom was wrapped up by black threads, gradually turning from illusory to real, spreading to the surrounding living beings. This was the punishment of cause and effect. Once entangled by the black threads, the many causes and effects on one's body would slowly wither and die, and finally disappear completely into the world, as if they had never existed.

"No, there's no time..." Yan Qiuxi knew in her heart that if Jiang Xiyu stayed here, this rival in love would be doomed sooner or later. Only by letting her go back could she use her own cultivation to clear away the karmic punishment.

"Darling...we're leaving soon! Be very careful of the military! Don't cooperate too deeply with them!" Yan Qiuxi said quickly, "You can go to the Zen sect and let me obtain the Daoist teachings on cause and effect, and while you're at it, let A-Jiang retrieve some of his memories..."

"Oh, by the way, you absolutely must take good care of that Tree of Life, don't let it die! It'll be very useful later on!"

After saying that, Yan Qiuxi used the Three Thousand Troubles Silk to wrap her and Xi Yu the Great Demon King into a cocoon. The radiance faded, and the Three Thousand Troubles Silk automatically retracted its countless threads, leaving only Xiao Jiang and Qiu Qiu lying peacefully on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Duan Huaige breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both happy and worried.

The joy stemmed from sending away the Great Demon King Xi Yu and the ultimate, heaven-defying King Yan; the worry lay in the words they left behind before they departed…

"Be careful of the military? Don't cooperate too deeply with them?" Does this mean... my future death will also be related to the military?

My friend thought that the only person in the military who hated me was Xie Laodeng, and even he had to protect me, otherwise Xie Laodeng would definitely make things difficult for him... So what exactly caused me to part ways with the military later, and even lead to my downfall?

The most crucial question is... how did I perish?
Although hints were given, many were incomplete, causing Duan Huaige to struggle to make sense of things for a while. And what about the last sentence: "Take good care of that Tree of Life?"

When did Yan Qiuxi give me the tree to nourish? Could it be... that spirit-nourishing herb?
I knew the spirit stones I fed Ah Cao weren't wasted! Duan Huaige secretly resolved to feed Ah Cao more spirit stones in the future, hoping they would come in handy at crucial moments.

Seeing that both King Yan and the Great Demon King Xi Yu had logged off and were out of danger, Duan Huaige also brought Qin Shuangjiang out of the Landscape Painting.

"Frost's Descent. It's over. They've all left." Duan Huaige sighed. "I never imagined that resisting the Taiqing's annihilation of Longhu Mountain would cause so much trouble... What should we do next?"

What to do next? Qin Shuangjiang sneered and glanced at Miss Yan below.

"An ending is also a new beginning... You were having so much fun bullying me just now, how can I not settle the score now? Don't you think so, my good sister... Yan Qiuxi!"

Before the words were even finished, Miss Qiuqiu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, realized that this trick was not going to work. She immediately scrambled out of the door, but was caught by the King of Qin.

"No, Ah Jiang, I don't know anything! Ignorance is no excuse! You can't enforce the law across time and space!"

"Huaige, save me! I'm your fiancée!"
