#834 - She stared at Li Chengfeng fiercely
Shui Fangshu, the Sect Leader of the Water Moon Sect, a woman known for her aloofness, composure, and elegance, now had a distorted face, her eyes burning with rage, as if she wanted to devour Li Chengfeng alive.
She glared at Li Chengfeng fiercely, each word squeezed out from between her teeth: "You dog thief, super demon! Wherever you go, you bring about the destruction of kingdoms and the slaughter of cities, rivers of blood. All this evil is caused by you!"
Li Chengfeng, upon hearing this, smirked, a smile that held both disdain and a hint of mockery.
He slowly said, "Nonsense? This time, you've truly wronged me.
This disaster was not caused by me, but by your 'partner'—Xuanwu!"
With that, Li Chengfeng lightly waved his sleeve.
Suddenly, the space rippled with a subtle fluctuation, as if some mysterious power was quietly at work.
Immediately afterward, a figure flashed out like a ghost, none other than the Skull Hermit.
He clutched a memory orb in his hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he had just witnessed a heart-stirring feat.
As early as when Li Chengfeng stepped into the Water Moon Sect and began his journey of mortal world cultivation, he had already carefully considered the matter, arranging for the Skull Hermit to stay outside and bestowing upon him this memory orb.
At the same time, Li Chengfeng also cast the Dust of Years technique, cleverly concealing the Skull Hermit's aura, making him like an invisible man, unnoticed by anyone.
And the Skull Hermit's task was to quietly observe, silently record, and completely preserve Xuanwu's every move, as well as the ins and outs of all his plans, within this memory orb.
Li Chengfeng wasn't trying to prove himself, because there was no need. He simply wanted to understand Xuanwu more deeply.
The grudges between him and Xuanwu would inevitably lead to a life-and-death showdown sooner or later.
And the reason he did this was because he wanted to decipher Xuanwu's thoughts and discern his weaknesses from his every subtle action.
Because Xuanwu would be a major and formidable enemy on his future path, an existence not to be ignored.
In the mortal realm, perhaps Li Chengfeng could temporarily suppress Xuanwu with his strength and wisdom, or even completely eliminate him.
But Li Chengfeng knew that Xuanwu's true form came from the Spirit Realm, a world he had not yet set foot in, but one full of unknowns and dangers.
One day, he would embark on the path of ascension and go to the Spirit Realm to pursue higher realms. And at that time, he would inevitably face Xuanwu, who would have already reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage and possessed even more terrifying power.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng needed to prepare, to accumulate, and to constantly improve himself.
And the memory orb in the Skull Hermit's hand was an important tool for him to understand Xuanwu, study Xuanwu, and ultimately defeat Xuanwu.
A crystal-clear memory orb floated in mid-air.
Within the memory orb, the battle scenes unfolded slowly like a painting, the scenes of Xuanwu using the power of sacrifice to summon the evil god were clearly visible and lifelike.
This memory orb was newly made, and the scenes within it were incredibly realistic, allowing no room for doubt.
When the Water Moon Sect Leader, Shui Fangshu, saw this scene, she was struck as if by lightning, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, as if she had heard the most incredible lie in the world.
Finally, she couldn't withstand this sudden blow, and spat out a mouthful of blood, her whole body swaying, as if she would fall at any moment.
"This... how is this possible? Xuanwu... didn't he say he would take us to ascend? Why... why is it like this?" she muttered to herself, her voice full of despair and unwillingness.
Li Chengfeng looked at her appearance, without the slightest sympathy in his heart.
He said coldly, "This is your so-called 'partner,' this is Xuanwu whom you have always trusted.
What he said about ascension is just a scam, a scam for his own benefit.
You have put your heart and soul into him, done everything for him, but in the end, you get this result."
Just then, the Water Moon Sect Leader, Shui Fangshu, suddenly had a glint in her eyes, as if she had made some kind of determination.
She abruptly shook the crystal ball in her hand, a dazzling light flashed, and Xuanwu's clone disappeared in this light, immediately after which, with a "swoosh," it was teleported outside the protective barrier.
As soon as Xuanwu's clone appeared, it let out a earth-shattering roar.
Before his roar could even finish, he was torn to pieces by the Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon generals using various means, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke, dissipating into the world.
All of his power was absorbed by the mysterious Future Traceless Formation, as if he had never existed.
The three generals—Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon—their figures were tall and resilient, like three immortal monuments, kneeling on one knee before Qing Ning Old Ancestor.
Their eyes were filled with tears, the bitterness of a hundred thousand years of waiting and sealing, and also the excitement and joy of finally seeing Qing Ning Old Ancestor at this moment.
They choked with emotion, saying in unison: "Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, pay respects to Qing Ning Old Ancestor!"
Qing Ning Old Ancestor's gaze was gentle and profound, he waved his hand lightly, his voice carrying a trace of emotion and gratification: "You three have also worked hard.
This long path of reincarnation, we were able to return again thanks to the great assistance of Daoist Friend Li Chengfeng.
If it weren't for him turning the tide, I'm afraid I would have been forever trapped in the abyss of reincarnation, even becoming a part of Xuanwu's cold and merciless Reincarnation Orb.
Now that we have reunited, what are your plans for what comes next?"
The three generals, upon hearing this, all turned their gazes to Qing Ning Old Ancestor, their eyes filled with determination and trust: "We will follow Qing Ning Old Ancestor's orders in everything!"
Their voices were powerful and resounding, as if at this moment, they had found a new direction, a new strength.
Qing Ning Old Ancestor nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom: "Good, since that's the case, we will still uphold our previous will and fight for the Human Race.
However, we must also understand that simply fighting for the Human Race cannot change the status quo.
We must fight for ourselves, for our dignity, for our honor, so that we can truly go out and meet a wider world! Ascend to the Spirit Realm!"
Just then, Li Chengfeng waved his hand lightly, his voice calm and profound: "You're wrong. You once fought for the Human Race, but you didn't change the status quo.
Not only did you not help the Human Race drive away foreign enemies, but you also put yourselves in a passive position.
You should fight for yourselves. Only when your strength is truly strong enough to go out will more people from the Human Race come to inherit your will and continue to fight for the future of the Human Race.
And at this moment, our most important task is to improve our strength, to pursue higher realms. When your strength is strong enough to crush everything, you can naturally open up the path to ascension."
