CHAPTER XLIII. SELF-DEFENSE AND SELF-DEFICIENCY OF SELF-DEFICIENCY

In an instant, all three of them stopped. The energy that filled the forest dispersed, and the sharp light slowly settled down. Only then did the trembling sound of the sharp sword gradually stop. He never thought that this person's inner force was so deep. The sharp sword and fan had clashed. It was actually able to shake the sharp sword to such an extent.

Wang Qingchuan looked at the two of them, his gaze carefree, and said loudly, "One of you is the young master of the Demon World's Cold Hades, and the other is the young hero of Qing Qiu, Shen Jingyang, we are all on the same side, why do you have to be so rough? If I did not stop them today, wouldn't you guys destroy the entire bamboo forest? "

Zhu Jiuyin fanned himself with both hands, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Oh, so you're inviting a moon spirit child. You're being rude." "You saw it just now. I didn't do it on purpose, but rather, the Sunshine Brothers are full of hostility. They immediately used their killing techniques and closed in on me, step by step." Finishing his words, he pointed his fan at Shen Jingyang with disdain. His gaze was arrogant to the extreme.

Shen Jingyang sternly replied, "We galloped our horses over, only to see faint shadows flashing within the forest. We thought that someone was plotting something, so we brandished our swords and flew away. I didn't expect that it was actually you."

"So it was just a misunderstanding, everyone was trying to find out the truth of the murder case," Wang Qingchuan smiled, he understood that this was the most important moment, and any sharp words could lead to a dispute, "Nine Yin Young Master, did you find anything of value before us?"

Zhu Jiuyin slowly paced back and forth, waving his fan with one hand. With a worried expression, he said indifferently, "Nine Yin is not talented, and has not found anything so far. He is truly brilliant. What does Miss Qing Chuan think about this?"

"I just came here and am unfamiliar with this place, so I don't dare to speak carelessly." Wang Qingchuan's expression was silent as he sized up the scene with his eyes. Suddenly, he revealed a resolute expression, "However, I believe that the fifth Hidden Spirit wouldn't do such a terrible thing. There must be a conspiracy involved!"

Zhu Jiuyin muttered to himself, "That's right, we don't believe it to be a hidden spirit, the most urgent matter now is to find evidence."

At this moment, Shen Jingyang was silent. He was still focusing on Candle Jiu Yin. He always felt that Zhu Jiuyin's skills were very unique, giving him a sense of déjà vu. In particular, the pair of sharp, dark, sinister, deep eyes of Zhu Jiuyin. Shen Jingyang felt that he must have seen those eyes somewhere before.

Zhu Jiuyin was already aware of Shen Jingyang's sharp gaze, constantly sizing him up, and his heart skipped a beat. A thread of fear slid down his brow, and then he looked at Shen Jingyang, cupping his fists, and said with a smile, "Brother Sang Yang is truly capable, I heard that you were fated to be someone from the Supreme Mystery world. Today, when the Spirit of Concealment is in trouble, you were able to come and help.

Shen Jingyang laughed heartily, "Young Master Jiuyin is too kind. Your skills are truly unfathomable. The Rising Sun is not only for the hidden spirits, it is also to help out the Grand Mysterious."

A moment later, Zhu Jiuyin excused himself and left, leaving Shen Jingyang, Wang Qingchuan, and the rest of the people from the Spirit World behind in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest.

At the foot of Xuanyuan Peak, a corner of a simple and elegant grass hut was slightly revealed. Smoke curled up from the hut and rose in all directions. It had originally been the time for dinner when dusk was about to fall. There was a deep path that led to the grass hut, and the "easy living" at the entrance was quite eye-catching.

In the grass hut, the fragrance of porridge was everywhere, and the fragrance was far and wide. Dugu Jiu Yi was leisurely tasting the simple and exquisite dishes when his face suddenly lit up and he said in a clear voice, "Old Liquor Lord, since you've come to an easy place to live, why haven't you come in to share your dishes? Do you really have to make Jiu Yi bow and welcome you?"

Suddenly, the grey-clothed old man flew down from the roof of the hut and landed in front of Dugu Jiuyi. Without waiting for Dugu Jiu to speak, he moved his chopsticks as if he wanted to eat something. Suddenly, he thought of something, and with a face full of worry, he solemnly said, "Old Dugu, you are still in the mood to eat congee. You should know that something huge has happened in the Supreme Mystery?"

He raised his head and gazed at the old man in the grey cloth, murmuring, "With regards to the matters of the Supreme Mystery City, your Luo Xu Valley's elder should be the most concerned. As a commoner who is far away from home, even if I want to worry about it, I can't reach it!"

He lightly stroked his white beard, shook his head, and laughed, "I still can't hide it from old Dugu's poisonous eyes. Nineteen years ago, you did not recognize me when I was in the jade wall city, but now, you have been thinking about it for so many years, and still managed to find out this old man's identity."

"I didn't painstakingly investigate it, but I guessed it," Dugu Jiu continued to taste the porridge, and moved his gaze to the Luo Xu Valley. "I have also heard of the tragedy at the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest, where the fifth hidden spirit of the Taixuan Capital is located, and I'm afraid that the hidden spirit will have to undergo another ordeal. This is his fate, Elder, what do you think?"

Luo Xuguo said tearfully, "That's right. I don't know what this doomed calamity looks like, but I'm worried that this young man won't be able to make it through …"

Dugu Jiuyi put down the jade key in his hand and spoke faintly, "Elder's wisdom is as sharp as a torch, why do you have to worry so much about this matter? Sometimes, life itself must come to an end, the Spirit of Concealment is the talent of Bai Hongtian's Qilin. If it can't even overcome this little tribulation, then how can it …"

"Whatever, it all depends on the child's fate." Luo Xugu grabbed his chopsticks and began to eat. He felt something was missing, and stared blankly at Dugu Jiuyi. "How come there's no good wine right now?"

Dugu Jiu's face sank. "No! I can't afford it! "

Within the grass hut, the conversation was like the wind, peaceful and auspicious.

Although it was already the early spring of the evening, it was still chilly and desolate, filling the eyes with desolation. All of a sudden, the cries of jackdaws echoed in the sky. It was ear-piercing, sad, tragic, and loud. The sky was shaking as the jackdaws were wailing.

The ten-day time limit had come to an end and the primal chaos was powerless. Everything was still the same, as if they had fallen into a deadlock. No matter how hard the crowd tried, there was still no progress.

Inside the Blue Firmament Hall, Jian Zhaomei and Li Fengxian led the demon and demon worlds as they aggressively rushed over. Li Dutian and Mu Lengqing had also arrived.

At this moment, the hall was already noisy.

"Yin Bao Scroll, the ten-day deadline has arrived. What else do you have to say? If you have any evidence, just take it out!" Li Fengxian yelled fiercely.

He glanced at the hidden spirit, sighed, and said loudly, "Things have already come to this point, I, Supreme Mystery, has nothing to say. However, we still found some clues, and in the future, we will definitely find something big."

Li Fengxian coldly replied, "Hmph, isn't it too late to say all of this now? Even the Supreme Profound must give a satisfactory answer to all of the realms today!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, as if only the breathing of the crowd could be heard.

"The fifth Concealed Spirit!" Aren't you admitting your wrongs?! "

Suddenly, a deafening roar shook the entire great hall, as though it was a thunderclap that frightened everyone. Zhang Xiaofan did not move an inch and lightly glanced at the speaker.

It was obvious that the one who uttered such a wild roar was none other than the leader of the demonic world, the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Sword, Chi Mei. Faced with such a scene, the sword ruler's eyebrow suddenly erupted in anger.

This time, he was going to denounce someone for his crimes, and the sword ruler's brow must be raised to make Taixuan pay the price. If he didn't make Taixuan's bones hurt, then he probably wouldn't have such a good opportunity in the future. At this moment, the sword ruler eyebrows were looking at Taixuan's group and still wanted to delay time. In their hearts, they were angry, and in addition to the gathering of the various realms today, they couldn't help but shout out loud.

The fifth spirit moved slowly forward, and the group dispersed to the center of the open space. The fifth hidden spirit stood alone in the middle of the room. His expression was cold, and he did not seem to be afraid at all. He said seriously, "The hidden spirit said a long time ago that the tragedy in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest was committed by the hidden spirit alone.

The moment the Spirit of Concealed Light's words came out, the clamoring, furious voices also gradually quieted down. At this time, the Yin Yang treasure scroll was tightly imbued with a hidden spirit. It didn't even spare a glance for the faintly discernible murderous Maha Ming Ding that was currently in a frenzy. Its eyes were filled with worry, grief, love, and helplessness as it stared at the fifth hidden spirit.

"Everyone, calm down!" A clear voice sounded, and everyone turned to look at him in unison. Their sword-like brows were filled with astonishment and anger. He held a fan with both hands and smiled: "In the past few days in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest, we have discovered a strange undead spirit. Furthermore, we have briefly fought with the hidden spirits here, and this undead's movement technique is extremely strange and unfathomable, its ability is superb, so the tragedy in the Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest must have something to do with him!"

"What?!"

"Is that true?"

The moment those words were spoken, the crowd burst into discussion. Waves of shock, astonishment, doubt, resentment, and furious voices exploded from the top of Blue Cloud Hall. The faces of Yin Bao Scroll, Li Duohuan, Mu Lengqing and the rest of the leaders changed slightly. Meanwhile, the sword-shaped eyebrows and Li Fengxian were completely flustered and exasperated.

The eyes of the hidden spirit and Zhu Jiuyin intersected for a moment, then the hidden spirit's ice-cold heart suddenly sank, as if sinking to the bottom of its heart, sinking into the unknown depths. Then, a wave of desolate, ice-cold, human blood-boiling warm feeling, that could never be separated from a brotherly love!

Amidst the chaos, Candle Jiu Yin's voice became clearer, "This strange undead must have caught a glimpse of the tragedy that happened back then, so the only way is to find the undead, then we can truly restore the innocence of our Hidden Spirit Brothers, and return the truth to the world!"

"What nonsense!"

The sword ruler's eyebrows were finally filled with anger, he could not allow the devil race's Zhu Jiuyin to go all the way to the primal chaos city, this was no different from a naked betrayal! He smacked the wooden table, and with a "cha" sound, the wooden table was covered in powder. Suddenly, he stood up and shouted angrily: "You still dare to speak nonsense about these fake things? Do you think you can talk too much about this Hundred Miles Bamboo Forest case?!"

The domineering roar caused Zhu Jiuyin's face to immediately change. He was left speechless, and everyone could not help but furrow their brows.

Mu Lengqing could not stand it any longer. "Why is the Devil Ancestor so angry? Is he so impatient?"

Li Daohuan coughed twice, and said in a clear voice, "That's right, thinking about the dozens of lives in my Immortal World, and about my Left Holy Envoy who was scared out of his wits, I think we should finish this today!" Li Dayuan surveyed the people of Supreme Profound City, then glanced at Gu Xueluo. Gu Xueluo fiercely glared at him with a face full of anger. Her gaze was filled with disgust, contempt, and coldness.

Yin Bao Yun let out a heavy sigh, helplessly shaking his head. Just as he was about to open his mouth to defend himself, suddenly, in the quiet great hall, a wave of low, low, and resolute voices rang out.

"The fifth Concealed Spirit is willing to commit suicide!"

This voice was cold and filled with unwillingness and honesty. The fifth hidden spirit, which had been silent all this time, slowly raised its head and let out a clear voice.

That pair of eyes were proud and cold, as if they were blood carrying an awe-inspiring chill that would cause chills for anyone who saw them. They directly pierced straight towards the brows of the sword ruler and Li Fengxian.

"Fifth Hidden Spirit, this isn't something that everyone is forcing you to do. You must pay the price for the heinous crime that you have committed!"

"Haha …!"

"A heinous crime?!"

"Pay the price?"

The fifth Hidden Spirit laughed bitterly towards the sky and said in a shrill voice, "Your five realms are all gathered here today. Any wine that is aimed at my fifth Hidden Spirit?"

Seeing the Spirit of Concealment acting like this, Yin Bao Chen said sternly, "Spirit of Concealment, don't act recklessly!"

The spirit spread its arms wide, faced the sky and roared, "Come at me if you have anything to say!"

This miserable voice echoed in the palace, causing people's souls to tremble, making them cry.

"Don't you feel ashamed that you have to press on an innocent youth?" The crowd was shocked, only to see Gu Xueluo appear out of nowhere behind the hidden spirit, facing the people of the six realms, and without fear. Her eyes were slightly red, and her expression was filled with anger, as she concentrated on the hidden spirit, "Hidden Spirit, let's go, there's nothing much to do here.

For some reason, he only felt that this woman in front of him, in this lonely moment, was actually warm and trusting. It was as if he had held onto his only hope, and could not help but tightly grasp onto that soft hand.

"Impudent!" You think this is child's play? When the Six Realms meet up, how can you just leave like that! "

He had long since been extremely dissatisfied with Gu Xueluo's actions of condoning him in Taixuan, and now that he saw her do such an outrageous action in front of so many people, he was infuriated.

Li De Huan and Gu Xue Luo's eyes were filled with rage as they faced each other. They were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly tensed up.

The hidden spirit's heart was in excruciating pain. Today, everything was caused by itself. If it were to end on its own, then it would be able to preserve the entirety of the primal chaos. All of a sudden, a wave of disheartened brutality flooded his mind. It was a terrifying yet alluring sense of destruction.

He slowly got rid of Gu Xueluo's hand and swept his blurry gaze across Yin Bao, Zhu Jiuyin, An Ran, Shen Jingyang, Zhao Yuyi, and Yu Rui. He then unwillingly glanced at Gu Xueluo. In an instant, the Hidden Azure Sword was suspended in the air, and a hidden spirit leapt out of the sword, striking the sword's edge. The entire hall was filled with astonishment.

His sudden movement shocked the world, and the color of the sky and earth changed. Only the Green Hidden Sword was a cold-blooded and ruthless object. It continued its ruthless thrusting towards him.

The moment the sword tip pierced deeply into the chest, Gu Xueluo's eyes became hazy with tears. She desperately stretched out both of her hands as the Taixuan disciples crazily shouted. Unfortunately, there was no way for the fifth spirit to know.

The world suddenly quieted down, and even the glow from the Hidden Azure Sword instantly dimmed … There was only one voice that cried out in grief, "Hidden Spirit! "Wake up …"

Those smiles that had been so casual and carefree in the memories of the song appeared one after another in front of Gu Xueluo, but gradually disappeared.

The figure that had disappeared in the wind was still staring at Gu Xueluo with a serene expression. His thin and straight body seemed like it was about to open its arms to welcome her.

The wind between the heaven and earth blew up his soft green robe. His long sleeves flapped in the wind, graceful and elegant, like the purest and most unforgettable painting in the world.

Moments later, blood gushed out of the fifth Hidden Spirit's mouth. This was the first time Gu Xueluo had seen the blood of a human body. It was dark red, boiling, and boiling.

The fifth spirit finally closed its eyes.

Gu Xueluo's eternal love!

Love of the primal chaos, eternal loss!
