Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 199: Supporting Willows and Following the Wind
The day after the celebration banquet.

Ye Aniu's family of four packed up and went to the next town to worship their ancestors.

In the courtyard with the gate closed tightly.

A figure quietly emerged, and this person was Cui Mingyuan.

"I can feel that my other half is calling me, right in that well." A gloomy voice sounded in Cui Mingyuan's mind.

Cui Mingyuan subconsciously turned his gaze to the well not far away.

"Are you sure?" Cui Mingyuan responded while moving towards the well.

As we got closer, we seemed to hear faint roars coming from the well.

"Jump down!" the blood demon urged in his mind.

Cui Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then jumped into the well.

However, before he hit the water, he was blocked by a white light curtain and could not continue falling.

"Use my power to break the seal!" the blood demon roared in his mind.

Cui Mingyuan gritted his teeth, and with the help of the power of the blood demon, punched the light curtain.

"Snapped!"

Although the punch was thrown with all his strength, it did not make much noise, but the light curtain was cracked like a spider web.

But surprisingly, the cracks repaired themselves quickly and the light curtain returned to its original state.

"What should I do if I can't break it?" Cui Mingyuan frowned tightly.

"Almost, just a little bit, blood food, I want more blood food!" The blood demon roared wildly in Cui Mingyuan's mind.

at the same time.

The roar of another blood demon from deep within the well also intertwined with the sound.

In desperation, he had to jump back into the well.

He stood at the mouth of the well and responded to the blood demon in his mind: "Wait for the Prime Minister's men to come and continue sucking blood. There is no time to rush now."

"There's no time to wait. Just sacrifice this town. Start preparing now. I'll teach you how to set up the Blood Evil Formation!" The Blood Demon responded in his mind.

the other side.

In a luxurious house, a woman with a stunning figure was sitting on a chair, asking the maid about the situation.

"Is there any movement from the Prime Minister?" the eldest princess asked softly.

Hanmei reported respectfully, "I haven't seen any obvious movements yet, but I have a feeling he will take action soon."

"Oh?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, "Why do you say that?"

Han Mei explained slowly, "Based on past experience, he's suffered a great loss this time, so he'll definitely seek help from those martial arts sects he trained. There seem to be a few strangers in Qingshi Town these past few days, and they look strange at first glance."

The eldest princess nodded slightly. It turned out that this girl's learning from her was not in vain. In the past few days, many suspicious people have appeared in Qingshi Town. They seem to be members of the Wandu Sect.

She continued to ask Hanmei: "What is Cui Mingyuan's movement?"

"Mr. Cui said today that he would send a pigeon to notify Yaowang Valley to come to help, and then he left." Hanmei replied respectfully: "As the princess expected, our secret guards lurking near Ye Aniu discovered that Cui Mingyuan went to Ye Aniu's courtyard."

Then, with a hint of regret in her tone, she said, "It's a pity that our people were afraid of being discovered and didn't dare to get too close. They could only watch from afar and had no idea what happened in the yard."

The eldest princess nodded slightly. Cui Mingyuan's martial arts skills are no longer what they used to be. If her people approached rashly, they would undoubtedly be seeking their own death.

"Send a pigeon immediately to inform Ye Aniu that the fish has taken the bait." The princess thought for a moment and gave a decisive order.

"Yes."

at the same time.

Dark as ink.

Cui Mingyuan was wearing a black robe and was standing on the edge of Qingshi Town, preparing to set up the Blood Evil Formation.

Following the Blood Demon's instructions, he selected locations in the east, west, south, and north.

This blood evil formation, whose full name is Four Symbols Blood Evil Formation, once the formation is activated, the blood of all living things in the four directions will be used as sacrifice.

As he planted the blood-red flag in the north, faint blood mist suddenly rose in the four directions and connected with each other.

After the flag is planted, everything is ready, just waiting for the last step.

Cui Mingyuan took out a dagger, slashed his palm, and dripped his blood onto the flag. This way, the formation could only be controlled by him.

As the last drop of blood was poured in, waves of roaring erupted from the dry well. At this point, the Blood Evil Formation was finally complete.

at the same time.

A man with a face as pale as paper and dark purple lips slowly walked towards Ren Youlan's house.

This person's nails were as black as ink, and black mist was lingering around his body. It was obvious at a glance that he was severely poisoned.

Behind him followed a group of people who emitted a strange stench. Some of them had black nails, and some had dry and yellow hair. None of them looked normal.

"Report to the Poison Lord." At this moment, a figure hurried over and said, "We found Ye Aniu's home, but it seems that no one is home, and we don't know where he went."

"Also, we haven't found any trace of the Princess and Cui Mingyuan in Qingshi Town these past few days."

"Waste." The Poison King waved his hand, a puff of smoke flashed by, and then he fell to the ground and died with a smile on his face, but his eyes were open.

The Poison King wiped his hands and said with disdain, "Let's go. No one is home, so let's go and guard it. Anyway, I have poisoned all the water sources in all directions."

"I'm afraid you can't get through." A voice suddenly sounded, and a large number of people suddenly poured out from all directions. They were the mortal enemy of the Wandu Sect - the people from Yaowang Valley.

"It's you! Dongfang Xuan." The Poison King snorted coldly in his tone.

As the saying goes, medicine and poison are inseparable. It seems that one of these two schools makes poison and the other uses medicine, but in fact, there is not much difference between the two in essence. One focuses on using poison to kill people, while the other focuses on using medicine to save people. This has formed an irreconcilable contradiction and made them enemies.

The blood moon hangs high.

Cui Mingyuan hid in the darkness of Ren Youlan's courtyard, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, watching coldly as the two groups of people were about to fight.

"Dongfang Xuan, this time we will settle all the old and new accounts together." The Poison Lord's voice was cold.

Dongfang Xuan's expression was indifferent as he said calmly, "Poison Lord, today is the day you die."

The Poison King snorted coldly and waved his hand. A black mist rushed towards the people in Medicine King Valley like a surging tide.

Dongfang Xuan smiled indifferently and waved his hand. A white mist suddenly surged out and blocked the black fog.

The black and white mist intertwined with each other, making crackling sounds and quickly canceling each other out.

"A trifle!" The Poison King sneered, "Get started."

"Kill!" Dongfang Xuan shouted the order, and the disciples of Medicine King Valley and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect instantly engaged in a fierce battle. The two sides fought back and forth, and the air was filled with the smell of poison smoke and antidote.

Soon, disciples from both sides fell one after another.

"Dongfang Xuan, die!" The Poison King sneered, and the black mist all over his body instantly condensed into the shape of a poisonous snake, and pounced towards Dongfang Xuan swiftly.

Dongfang Xuan was prepared. The white mist on his body also turned into a spirit snake and bit the black snake.

The two people's moves are surprisingly similar.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black and white snakes canceled each other out, and both sides took a few steps back.

The Poison King grabbed a centipede and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The centipede felt pain and instantly bit through the tip of the Poison King's tongue.

After the tip of the Poison King's tongue was bitten, he quickly chewed the centipede. After the blood and centipede juice mixed together, he took out the poisonous wine from his waist, poured it into his mouth, and then sprayed it into the air.

The disciples who were sprayed fell to the ground and wailed, and the poisonous juice spilled on the ground, which attracted a large number of five poisonous creatures for a while.

Dongfang Xuan was startled and shouted, "Three Yin Centipede Poison."

"You never thought of that! This is what I prepared specially for you. It's all thanks to you that I have become this neither human nor ghost." The Poison King said resentfully.

A large number of poisonous insects began to emerge from all directions, surrounding everyone. Dongfang Xuan saw this and hurriedly sprinkled medicinal powder around. The powder turned into a barrier, temporarily resisting the attack of the poisonous insects.

However, there were too many poisonous insects, and the powder was gradually consumed and eroded, and soon the poisonous insects broke through the defense line.

"Valley Master, what should we do?!" a disciple shouted anxiously.

Dongfang Xuan gritted his teeth, took out his long sword, slashed it across his hand, and then swallowed a crabapple flower.

Then, he suddenly swung his palm towards the poisonous insects, and the blood-filled palm wind immediately blew away the piles of poisonous insects.

"Seven-Star Begonia?" Seeing this, the Poison King laughed triumphantly. "Hahahaha, I can't believe it! I can't believe that even the dignified Master of Medicine King Valley has to feed himself with poison to cultivate. What's the difference between you and me?"

"You lost." Dongfang Xuan's face was a little pale, and there was a hint of fatigue in his tone. It was obvious that he had lost too much blood. He had just killed the poisonous insects and lost a lot of blood.

The Poison King looked at the poisonous insects that had been killed, gritted his teeth, took out a pill emitting black gas, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Corpse poison." Dongfang Xuan exclaimed, a trace of panic on his face.

After swallowing this poison, a person will become invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire, but the body will also become as stiff as a zombie, and will need to drink blood every day to neutralize the toxicity.

At this moment, the Poison King's body began to swell, his skin became ulcerated, and even the internal blood vessels were clearly visible. He looked like a zombie that had been dead for a long time.

"Dongfang Xuan, die!" The Poison King roared, and his palm power, wrapped in poisonous wind, attacked like a tidal wave.

Dongfang Xuan's expression was solemn, and he attempted to resist with his palm power. However, this time, the Poison King's power was far superior to before, and Dongfang Xuan was instantly pushed back dozens of feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Valley Master!"

At the same time, Dongfang Xuan suddenly bit his tongue, and a mouthful of blood spurted out like an arrow, hitting the Poison King. It was obvious that both sides were seriously injured.

However, at this moment, the Poison King's body shook violently, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the half of the sword that emerged from the heart in his chest, and his dark blood was flowing on the sword.

"You..." The Poison King turned his head with difficulty and looked at Cui Mingyuan who had pierced him. "You have been poisoned since you touched my blood. You won't live long."

Cui Mingyuan sneered and said with disdain: "Poison? Who do you think I am?"

After saying that, he formed his five fingers into claws and grabbed the Poison King's head directly, tearing through his skull. The blood was quickly absorbed through his fingers.

In the blink of an eye, the Poison King turned into a shriveled corpse.

Dongfang Xuan was shocked when he saw this, and secretly cursed himself for getting involved in this mess. He was afraid that this time he would be in great danger.

But he still managed to calm down, put on a smile and said, "Master Cui?"

Cui Mingyuan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, Master Dongfang, for the great gift you gave me."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Mingyuan suddenly waved his hand, and blood-red threads flew like sharp arrows towards the people from Medicine King Valley and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, instantly binding them and beginning to drain their blood. In an instant, shrunken corpses fell one after another.

Dongfang Xuan's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly poured all his poison towards Cui Mingyuan, but the other party seemed to not care about his poison at all.

"Cui Mingyuan, you despicable villain..." Dongfang Xuan roared with anger and unwillingness.

Cui Mingyuan smiled coldly, a hint of pride in his tone: "This is only your own fault."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Mingyuan suddenly waved his hand, and a long bloody whip tied up Dongfang Xuan.

Soon, Dongfang Xuan's skin went from being slightly pale to being as pale as paper, until it shriveled and died.

"Cui Mingyuan." Just when he was feeling proud, a cold snort interrupted him.

The person who came was the eldest princess, who brought Hanmei with her and was looking at him coldly.

"Your Highness?" Cui Mingyuan looked at the princess in surprise, but then said calmly, "When was I exposed?"

He thought he was hiding well, but he was still discovered.

"I noticed it from the very beginning." The princess said calmly, "When Master Ye first suspected you, I didn't believe it! But I still investigated, and I found that there was indeed something wrong with you."

"If it weren't for him, you would have always believed in me, right?" Cui Mingyuan said frantically, "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have discovered my true face, right? It's all because of him, right?"

"Without him, I really wouldn't have suspected you." The eldest princess' tone changed, her expression stern, "But you've made one mistake. I've always known your true identity."

"Okay, okay." Cui Mingyuan's expression suddenly became calm. "In that case, then I'll let you experience my bloody evil formation! Tonight, except for you, you can spend this wonderful night with me. No one else can survive."

"Wishful thinking." The eldest princess sneered disdainfully. Although she didn't know what the Blood Evil Formation was, she knew from the sound of it that it was definitely not a good thing.

Cui Mingyuan stood in the courtyard, activating the Blood Evil Formation. A constant stream of blood mist gathered from all directions. If it wasn't stopped, everyone in the town would soon die from excessive blood loss.

"Roar" With a shocking roar, a beam of blood light shot straight into the sky through the white light curtain in the well in the courtyard, and the light curtain was gradually cracked.

"It's out, it's finally out." The blood demon gave a sinister smile through Cui Mingyuan's body.

"Not good." The princess finally realized something was wrong and shouted to the dark guards: "Go!"

"It's too late." Cui Mingyuan said with disdain and cruelty, "All of you will be sacrificed in blood. It doesn't matter where you run to."

"Cui Mingyuan, you are so cruel..." The eldest princess shouted angrily, drawing her sword and preparing to fight.

"Snap!" The white light curtain in the well was finally shattered, and a beam of blood light quickly rushed into Cui Mingyuan's body and merged into one with him.

"Strength... I feel my strength is back, hahahaha." The Blood Demon laughed triumphantly: "No one can stop me anymore."

"Princess, you go first. I'll block the way for you." Hanmei urged the eldest princess to escape quickly.

After saying that, she rushed forward first. Cui Mingyuan didn't even glance at her. With a wave of his hand, Hanmei flew out like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air.

Just as she was about to fall heavily to the ground, a pair of strong hands caught her steadily.

Was this a dream? How could this scholar possibly possess martial arts skills? Hanmei was so dazed that she didn't even realize her forbidden area was being controlled.

"What a mess! You're running away when you can't win. What kind of hero is that?" Ye Ah Niu? No, it should be Ye Beixuan. His playful voice rang in Hanmei's ears.

Looking at the little girl, Ye Beixuan couldn't help but sigh. How could this girl still be so stubborn? Before he married the Empress, she had given him all kinds of troubles, but since then, she often secretly took him to her room, and was surprisingly well-behaved.

"It's you." Cui Mingyuan looked at Ye Beixuan in surprise and said, "So what if it's you? I've already merged the two into one."

Ye Beixuan said jokingly, "So what? You are so weak now."

"Killing you is enough." Cui Mingyuan said confidently: "Not only will I kill you, I will also torture you slowly."

Ye Beixuan did not say anything, but waved his hand casually, and a cold light shot out. The flying knife of Zhuxie, carrying the Nanming Lihuo, instantly pierced through the body of the blood demon.

"Kill me? Can you do it?" The flying knife of Zhuxie immediately returned to Ye Beixuan's hand.

"Alright, alright, now the two have merged into one." The Blood Demon said with a smug smile, "With your bare hands, you are holding the flying knife stained with my Blood God Son. You have been poisoned by my blood and will soon become my puppet."

"You don't really think you can contaminate me, do you?" Ye Beixuan said calmly, "I forgot to tell you that I'm invulnerable to all evil, and you don't even have complete control over this body, so how can you talk about merging the two into one? Not to mention, from the very beginning, you used Zhou Xiancai to frame me, and I've been on guard against you."

Ye Beixuan's move was a ruthless act, but he also understood that he had not fully recovered and this was just a hasty response.

"Let's fight!" Cui Mingyuan didn't say anything. He lost, completely lost, no matter his martial arts, wisdom, everything, he lost miserably.

"Give me your entire soul and become one with me, then you can defeat him." The Blood Demon's voice sounded in Cui Mingyuan's mind.

Cui Mingyuan: If I leave it to you, can you guarantee that you can kill him?
Blood Demon: Of course, your body has consciousness, and I can't fully control it.

Cui Mingyuan: Okay, I promise you.

"Hahahahahahahaha." Cui Mingyuan suddenly let out a sinister and terrifying laugh, saying, "Finally, my body and soul have become one. Hahahaha, it feels great to have a body, and one with such talent at that."

Ye Beixuan frowned and said in a serious tone, "You go first."

The eldest princess and Hanmei knew that staying here would not only be of no help but would also be a hindrance. When they were about to leave, a blood-red barrier suddenly appeared and stopped them.

"Want to go?"

Seeing this, Ye Beixuan immediately summoned the Immortal Slashing Sword and struck it, but the Blood Demon grasped the Immortal Slashing Sword with his bare hands.

"You probably don't know that I have already set up a bloody formation." After saying that, all the living things in the town, except Ye Beixuan, began to emit tiny blood beads from their bodies, spreading into the air and gathering towards Cui Mingyuan. Even the eldest princess was no exception.

Seeing this, Ye Beixuan shot Zhuxie at the ground, forming a light curtain that covered Hanmei and the princess.

"Don't come out inside, wait for me to defeat him." After saying that, he picked up the Immortal-Slaying Sword and stepped forward resolutely. The two figures were immediately entangled together.

The two sides fought back and forth. Due to the long-term seal, the Blood Demon's power was consumed by 70% to 80%, and Ye Beixuan's soul was also in a torn state. The two fought hard for a while.

Looking at Ye Beixuan covered in blood, the hearts of the eldest princess and Hanmei tightened instantly.

"Hahahahaha." The Blood Demon laughed wildly, his tone full of sarcasm: "You seem to have been protecting these two women all this time, but I have to take their lives first."

After saying that, the Blood Demon and Ye Beixuan started fighting again.

As time passed, with the help of the power of the Blood Evil Formation, the Blood Demon became more and more powerful, but Ye Beixuan's soul was cracked again, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Go to hell!" the Blood Demon roared, and suddenly swept out with a blow. The three of them instantly lost their support and tumbled to the ground together.

"What other tricks do you have?" The Blood Demon stared at Ye Beixuan triumphantly.

"You'll know soon." Ye Beixuan frowned slightly. Why hadn't the Samsara Mirror reacted yet? What should he do? Should he really fight to the death?

At this moment, a white light suddenly flew out, and the Samsara Mirror finally rose from Ye Beixuan's chest and hovered in the air.

The mirror emitted an extremely strong white light, completely enveloping Cui Mingyuan.

The blood demon roared in pain, trying desperately to escape from the range of the mirror's light.

However, just as he was about to break free, he was shocked to find himself unable to move. Then, a willow branch suddenly sprouted from his body, as if a willow tree had grown out of thin air.

"Willow God Body? Supporting Willow Heavenly Monarch?" The Blood Demon cried out in pain. Then, more and more willow branches sprouted from his body.

These willow branches emitted a green light like the revival of spring, enveloping Ye Beixuan. Ye Beixuan suddenly felt the torn part of his soul begin to heal and recover, and he couldn't help but wonder why he was helping me.

There was no time for further thought. He waved his hand, and the Evil-Slaying Sword, carrying the Southern Ming Fire, instantly pierced Cui Mingyuan's forehead. At the same time, the Immortal-Slaying Sword also struck, piercing his heart.

The Blood Demon stared at his pierced heart as his body continued to disintegrate beneath the Samsara Mirror. Confused, he asked, "Why? Fu Liu Tianjun and Sui Feng Tianjun are the only two war gods in the Immortal Realm."

Fu Liu Tianjun: If I hadn't done this, how could I have tricked you into uniting with me and killed you? I had already predicted that Sui Feng would encounter this calamity.

The Blood Demon said unwillingly: But you will also be reduced to ashes in this way.

Fu Liu Tianjun looked at the eldest princess affectionately, his heart filled with sadness.

Maybe even if I die, she won't even look at me again. After all, there is only Suifeng in her heart from beginning to end.

The reason why he chose reincarnation was, on the one hand, to help his best friend advance the cause of becoming a god, and on the other hand, he also hoped to completely let go of this bitter secret love and overcome his own mental tribulation.

The Blood Demon laughed crazily: "Hahahaha, the famous Fuliu Tianjun is actually trapped by love. It's ridiculous, ridiculous... I can feel that you haven't let go... haven't... "

However, the Blood Demon completely dissipated before he could finish his words.

On the ground, only half of Cui Mingyuan's head was left, dull and lifeless.

There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He took one last look at Ye Beixuan and the eldest princess, and then completely disappeared without a trace.

Before she could catch her breath, the eldest princess suddenly shouted anxiously, "Hanmei..."

Ye Beixuan was shocked, the blood evil formation had not been lifted yet!
