I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 184 One Arrow (Bonus Chapter for 2000 Monthly Tickets in April)

She had previously suspected Cheng Lanzhi, after all, they were both women and both had the character "Zhi" in their names. Moreover, on the day Cheng Lanzhi wanted to drive Xin Wushuang away, she chose to wear a yellow dress, and yellow wintersweet was planted in the courtyard.

But now, Jiang Yi recalled many details.

When we first met Cheng Lanzhi, she was dressed in hunting attire. Later, when Xin Wushuang was surrounded by villagers, Cheng Lanzhi was at the back of the crowd, still dressed in hunting attire.

The clothes in the room were carefully preserved, indicating that they were not worn often.

The most important thing is that the clothes are too big and do not fit Cheng Lanzhi's figure. Of course, it is reasonable for poor people to buy clothes that are a little bigger so that they can wear them layer by layer, but there is no need to buy such big bracelets and shoes, right?
The bracelet Cheng Lanzhi wore that day would have fallen off if she hadn't been holding it steady, and her embroidered shoes didn't fit properly, causing her to drag her feet when she walked.

All of this is enough to show that those clothes, shoes, and jewelry were prepared for another person.

There are only two people in their family, so the answer is obvious.

It's that cross-dressing pervert, Pei Zhixu!
In the scene recorded by Hua Gu with the memory stone, the person who parasitized Xin Wushuang saw her standing to the side and showed a surprised expression.

This is the expression she would only have if she knew her. The only Dream Fairy Sect members she has come into contact with in recent years who are still alive are those from the inner sect assessment back then. Apart from the woman in yellow who escaped, the rest of that Dream Fairy Sect were wiped out.

The fact that she recognized Jiang Yi and was a follower of the Dream Fairy Cult makes the answer obvious.

Pei Zhixu not only likes women's clothing, but he also wants to parasitize women's bodies. I was almost misled by him. He is perverted and insidious!

When Cheng Lanzhi suddenly turned into a demon, Pei Zhixu saw her again when he came to her door. He was not surprised, but he swallowed his saliva in fear. He had exposed himself again. Did he think she hadn't seen him?

Her appearance made Pei Zhixu realize that he had lost again, so after leaving Xin Wushuang's body, Pei Zhixu immediately returned home, chose Cheng Lanzhi as a pawn, and prepared to push everything onto Cheng Lanzhi.

Just like last time, when Cangling Temple purged Mengxian Sect, Zhang Wangshan was captured in Wuliu Village. That must have been a pawn deliberately thrown out by Pei Zhixu.

The talk of cultivating immortality that Zhang Wangshan mentioned must have been revealed indirectly by Pei Zhixu, and the traces of worshipping the Pillow Immortal in his cellar must have been arranged by Pei Zhixu.

Zhang Wangshan's son discovered these things and went to find Pei Zhixu, but was silenced and buried under a wintersweet tree.

The former abbot of Xuandu Temple, Wen, must have traced the clues from Zhang Wangshan to Pei Zhixu, and was eventually silenced.

There must be cultivators assisting Pei Zhixu behind the scenes. The Dream Immortal Sect is not entirely composed of mortals, and many things still need to be done by cultivators.

Jiang Yi glanced at the horizon, then looked at Pei Zhixu. With the demonized dream beast protecting him, their attacks couldn't touch him, which was indeed a bit troublesome.

But Pei Zhixu just stood there without moving or running. Could it be because the Dream Eater protects him and he has to stay still?
Pei Zhixu's eyes gleamed with calculation. "Wushuang, if I were to control this body of yours, I would do a better job than you. Why don't you hand over your body to me, and I will cultivate for you. I will help you establish your foundation and build a high-grade elixir foundation."

Xin Wushuang remained silent, but Jiang Yi laughed, "You're like a dung beetle yawning, what a big mouth you have!"

"Shut up! I wasn't talking to you!" Pei Zhixu would lose control whenever he was around Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi laughed even harder, "Look at you, why are you getting so worked up again?"

"I don't!!"

"Why are you shouting if you're not here?"

"I……"

"Shh-"

Jiang Yi made a shushing gesture.

"The fact that you could say something like that shows that since you lost your identity as Huang Miaozhi, you and your Mengxian Sect have lost all sources of information about everything within the Cangling Sect. You don't know this, do you? Wushuang is now a direct disciple of a Nascent Soul True Monarch. You, a maggot who can only hide in other people's bodies, dare to become a disciple of a Nascent Soul True Monarch? Therefore, you will never do better than Wushuang."

"You maggot crawling out of the gutter, even wearing human skin can't hide the stench in your bones! All you can do is parasitize women's bodies and secretly enjoy your dreams. If your mother knew that the wicked child she gave birth to could neither be a man nor a woman, she'd probably turn in her grave. You disgusting maggot!"

Jiang Yi's last word was spoken very softly, but the obviously insulting lip movements and the undisguised mockery in Jiang Yi's eyes made Pei Zhixu furious, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

A glint flashed in Jiang Yi's eyes. Borrowing power from the Heart-Piercing Mirror, a golden blade appeared out of thin air, aimed directly at Pei Zhixu's throat.

Pei Zhixu was shocked, but at the last moment he regained his composure, closed his eyes and remained still.

A sharp pain shot through his throat, and blood gushed out. Fortunately, it was only a graze; the subsequent attack pierced through his body and crashed heavily into the ruins behind him.

When Jiang Yi opened her eyes again, she had her hands on her hips and a smile that sent chills down Pei Zhixu's spine.

Seen through!

Pei Zhixu swallowed hard. He was, after all, just a mortal. He would die with a single blow. He then turned his gaze to Xin Wushuang beside him.

"Wushuang, do you want your father to be resurrected? Do you want your previous dreams to come true? If you're willing, I can even let your parents, eldest brother, second sister, and little sister cultivate immortality with you. Your family will be together forever, never to be separated. Everything you want, I can help you achieve." Pei Zhixu glared viciously at Jiang Yi, "As long as you kill her!"

"I don't want to cultivate immortality with my second sister, she'll beat me."

Xin Wushuang refused in a serious tone, and Jiang Yi almost lost her composure. Fortunately, Xin Yuehe wasn't there, otherwise she would have fainted from anger upon hearing this.

Xin Wushuang continued, “Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of the world. If you don’t die now, you will die in the future. For me, it’s just a matter of accepting it sooner or later. In my dream, I had already accepted the fact that my father had passed away. Violating the laws of the world will incur divine punishment.”

Just like her master, Huiyuan Zhenjun, who took too many shortcuts to enlightenment and ended up going bald.

This made Xin Wushuang realize a principle: one must be down-to-earth and not take shortcuts or crooked paths.

Xin Wushuang was merely stating the facts, but Pei Zhixu felt that Xin Wushuang was mocking him for being a mortal who dared to attempt to cultivate immortality, violating the laws of the world, and would inevitably be punished by heaven.

"Very well, let's see today who will be punished by heaven!"

Just as Pei Zhixu was about to make a move, he suddenly saw Jiang Yi's hand hanging by his side, forming a sword finger, her brows furrowed as she kept making small horizontal sweeps with her sword finger.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Yi said impatiently, "Go about your business and don't worry about me."

Damn it, why can't I use the divine sense sword at this crucial moment?
She had successfully guided the process using the sword finger technique before.

Jiang Yi instilled a great sense of crisis in Pei Zhixu. He could not wait any longer and suddenly tore open his clothes, revealing his chest covered with scars. Dark red blood beads seeped from the scars, wriggling like living creatures, and gathered into strange array patterns on his chest.

boom!
The ground trembled violently, and two pale, slender giant hands burst from the earth. Their knuckles were as thick as ancient trees, and their palms were cracked with layers of sharp teeth. They slammed down on Jiang Yi with a stench!
grumble!
Hongli, who had been quietly crouching to the side, suddenly leaped up upon seeing this, her body instantly growing several times larger. Her fiery red tail swept across like an iron whip, forcefully withstanding the crushing force of one of the giant hands.

Jiang Yi dodged the other giant hand by sidestepping, and then lashed out with his green vine whip. The whip's shadow collided with the giant hand, exploding into dazzling sparks.

Pei Zhixu seized the opportunity to make a hand seal and recite an obscure incantation.

Xin Wushuang's body suddenly stiffened, his pupils contracted, and he expressionlessly raised the Sky-Splitting Bow, the arrowhead pointing directly at Jiang Yi's back.

The sound of the arrow leaving the bowstring was sharp and piercing. The distance was so close that Jiang Yi didn't even have time to turn her head before the blinding golden light invaded her vision from the edge of the bow.

Suddenly, Jiang Yi recalled the scene in her dream at Xuandu Temple when she saw Huang Miaozhi and was pierced through the heart by golden light from behind.

It turned out that it wasn't a meaningless nightmare, but a premonition!

The golden light in the dream represented Xin Wushuang's arrow, but...

Pei Zhixu coughed up blood. He had sacrificed his lifespan and soul to activate the Gu hidden in Xin Wushuang's body, all for this moment of decisive victory.

No matter what, he wanted that bitch Jiang Yi to die before him!
He will not give her another chance if she insults him repeatedly!
As Xin Wushuang's arrow was about to pierce Jiang Yi's back, Pei Zhixu held his breath in excitement, staggered forward half a step uncontrollably, and laughed loudly.

"go to hell!!"

puff!

Pei Zhixu trembled, his eyes widening in horror, the afterimage of the arrow that had suddenly turned a corner still lingering in his vision.

"you……!"

Pei Zhixu staggered to his knees, looking down at the bloody hole in his chest, his face full of disbelief.

Jiang Yi remained silent. Wu Shuang had sent her a telepathic message when she fired the arrow, so she didn't dodge.

Xin Wushuang put down the bow, raised his hand, and golden spiritual energy coiled in his palm, forming a cage. In the center of the cage was a blood-red worm.

"No, I only allow myself to make that mistake once."

Xin Wushuang's voice was calm and steady as iron. She casually shredded the Gu worms into powder. When Pu Ning asked Senior Brother Shang about the Gu Dao, she was engrossed in eating, but she secretly memorized all the information.

Knowing that the pillow on her kang (a heated brick bed) had been tampered with, and knowing that her father had died three years ago, how could she not be wary of the mouthful of blood her father had spat on her?

She may be a little slow-witted, but she's not stupid!
