Chapter 426: Death Qi Girl in a Life Qi World

Not long after Hui entered the illusory realm

Golden mirrors materialized all over the cave. They rippled, and a great many Liu Guangs stepped through, into the real world. Unlike the first one, these Liu Guangs were gold from head to toe. Hair, skin, robes, all glittered and shifted like liquid gold.

Each golden clone turned to a different participant and gestured them closer. The participants stepped forward. The clones led them into the golden mirrors, and with a ripple, the mirrors closed over again.

A moment later, another batch of Liu Guangs appeared, gesturing the remaining participants in. The cultivators stepped forward again, and again, the mirrors rippled. At last, only Jin Xian remained.

She looked around, face blank.

One of the golden mirrors rippled, and a gold clone emerged from it. He strode toward Jin Xian, a smile on his face. My fellow cultivator you have unusual talents, is that not so?

Jin Xian tilted her head and blinked deliberately. Her fake pupils stared fixedly ahead.

He laughed lightly. Theres no need to play coy. In any large sect like ours, naturally, dirty work will arise. When it comes to raising exorcists, we must have ghouls to practice on. When it comes to healing, we must have bodies to use as examples. Surely fellow cultivator can understand?

Jin Xian tilted her head the other way and blinked again.

The clones expression darkened somewhat. He strode forward, life qi gathering into a golden glow in the palm of his hand. Surely you understand your position? It couldnt be you approached our sect with no realization of what kind of role you were volunteering for?

Jin Xian blinked again.

The clone reached for her head. If youre continuing to play dumb, then I have no choice but to

Jin Xian laughed. Her wooden expression became flexible as Fang Hua asserted herself. Theres no need. Ive been awake for some time. Since the ghoul trial, Ive been wondering what this sect would do to explain itself. It seems, however, that All-Heavens Sect has no need to explain itself. Its righteousness is assured, even if it engages in demonic arts.

Chuckling, the clone waved his sleeve. Demonic arts? No, no. All-Heavens is the one who decides what is demonic and what is righteous. If we declare a sect to be demonic, it is as if the heavens have changed, and the sect becomes demonic. Likewise, if we declare a sect to be righteous well, the reverse is also true.

Hypocrites, Fang Hua accused him lightly, a smile on her lips. She shook her head. But it benefits me, so I should call you great and righteous lords instead, no?

Fang Hua followed him into the sky. Offering me a weapon covered in life qi, are you insane? No one would ride an item that poisons them!

An image from the other halfs memories flashed through her head, of a man in black riding atop a transparent black duck. She rolled her eyes. Except that madman, but he doesnt count. Nothing that Xie Hao does makes any sense. He cowers every time I wake up, but fearlessly orders the ferocious man-eating beast Jin Xian around? I dont understand him.

But then, I dont have to. As long as he continues to ascend me through the realms, I dont mind hanging around him a little longer. At this rate, Ill fall asleep and wake up ascended to heaven!

She shook out her hair and grinned. Honestly, hes already done so much for me. Ive ascended smoothly to fifth realm, and now hes pushing me to enter a high-level sect. I almost feel bad for receiving so much for free but then, its never been the creed of demonic cultivators to turn down a shortcut or free meal, nor to earnestly repay debts! Besides, I can let the other half repay whatever debt I might accrue. For as long as she continues to foolishly follow this man, in any case. If she flees well stock it up to the madness of a ghoul and I can escape freely!

Ahead, the man circled around a peak and led her to the backside of it. From above, it appeared to be an ordinary peak, bustling with cultivators and gleaming in the sunlight. As they approached, however, the clone waved his hand, dispelling the illusory barrier for a moment. Beneath, a sunless crag laid revealed, a scarred pit dug into the side of the peak, shadowed both by its own walls and by the peak that hovered above.

Stark figures swarmed in the shadows. Even from this high, their combined voices could be heard, a mixture of groans, eerie moans, and fierce shrieks. Stained white robes hung limp off pale limbs, strands of dark hair whirling in the wind that seemed to blow only through the valley.

The clone smiled and gestured for her to descend. Welcome to the Moaning Valley your new home.

Fang Hua nodded and swooped down toward the valley. As she dropped, something snapped overhead. She whirled, staring upward.

A dense net of black chains blocked the way out, separating her from the clone.

She rushed at it, but rebounded from it. The black chains absorbed her yin energy and grew stronger, thickening as she weakened. Startled, she backed away, narrowing her eyes. You. This was a trap!

A trap? No, no. We couldnt let a foul beast like yourself freely roam the sect, now, could we? Your job is still what we agreed to: managing and cultivating the ghouls required for practice. If you work hard enough hmm, we might consider allowing you to wander around? With a chaperone, of course. Consider this a trial period, the clone mused, putting a hand on his chin.

Damned righteous cultivators. I should have known. Demonic cultivators are far better than you. At least they dont act like theyre doing you a favor when they stab you in the back, Fang Hua bit.

The clone shook his head. Now, now. I am doing you a favor, no? After all, for a demonic cultivator to willingly come to a righteous sect, you doubtlessly were run off from the demonic side. Were saving your life. You should be grateful.

Fang Hua glared at him silently. Xie Hao, youd better have a good explanation for me!

If you can even find me
