At first I just wanted to break up

Chapter 205 Cause and Effect

It didn't seem difficult for Li Xuanxuan to venture into the world, because she was not afraid, whether in town or in the wild. In the process, she met many kind and enthusiastic people, and also suffered from the calculations of evil and bad people, but she still gained a lot along the way.

At first, Li Xuanxuan had no destination. She just wandered around aimlessly until she came to a small town, which was said to be the mortal town closest to the immortal cultivators. It was named:
Jinfeng Town.

After entering the town, Li Xuanxuan stayed at Yuelai Inn.

However, she did not go to the room to rest immediately. Instead, she stood on the observation deck of the inn, looked in the direction the waiter had pointed her to, then slowly raised her hand and placed it on her heart.

original……

Does she still want to go there?

Did she want to see the world of immortal cultivation? Or did she want to meet the people there? Or did she want to find out the cause of her parents' death? !
Li Xuanxuan clenched her hands suddenly.

She was very sure that Xie Shixun must have found out something, otherwise his way of communicating would not have been changed again and again, or even interrupted.

In addition, there is what Ying Lingfeng said. She said:

With her around, don’t even think about going to Tianyuan Sect!

But Li Xuanxuan knew better than anyone that Xie Shixun didn't want her to go to Tianyuan Sect, so how did this news spread?

Ying Lingfeng was so sure that it must have come from Xie Shixun's mouth.

The contradiction between the two can only mean that when Xie Shixun said this, it was not his original intention.

From this, we can guess that Xie Shixun's situation in Tianyuan Sect is not good. This can be confirmed by what Xie San said, who came right after Ying Lingfeng.

This was also one of the reasons why Li Xuanxuan later did not respond to Xie San's letter.

After such a long time, I don't know if he is in a better condition now? I also don't know how he reacted after hearing the news of the broken engagement.
Just when Li Xuanxuan was in a daze, she heard a loud noise in the distance. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of tall and strong men surrounding a boy and beating him up!
How can this be acceptable?
Li Xuanxuan immediately went downstairs and rescued the little boy.

Later, she learned from the onlookers and the little boy's grandfather that these big men were not the culprits, and there was an even more evil person behind them.

After hearing this, Li Xuanxuan did not rush to investigate further, because during the days she was away, she understood that as a foreign tourist, she could only interfere in some matters.

What's more, she only has two or three points of self-protection ability.

Although Li Xuanxuan was aware of this, the man did not let her go. That night, on her way back to the inn, she was surrounded by the group of men.

What’s funny is that they actually used a few fake talismans to bully others?
After Li Xuanxuan subdued the big men again, she asked them to lead the way. She wanted to see who this 'God of Fortune', who was revered as the 'God of Madness' by the people of this town, was.

But what Li Xuanxuan didn't expect was that although she was already very cautious and had made all the preparations, she still fell into the formation the moment she stepped into the house.

At this moment, Li Xuanxuan understood: the fake talisman paper was a trick!

But she did not underestimate the enemy, yet she was still easily hit. This can only mean that the opponent's formation is very powerful!

When Li Xuanxuan was about to take a closer look at the formation, the door of the house was suddenly broken by a stream of air, and a mysterious man whose face and figure were hidden in a black cloak slowly walked in.

Everyone in the house rushed towards him, but before they could get close, they were thrown away by the invisible spiritual power.

After a while, the man came in front of the formation. He raised his hands and pulled down the wide brim of his hat. His face was slowly revealed.

Li Xuanxuan had never taken her eyes off this man since he showed up. She had a vague guess in her mind, which gradually became clearer as he got closer, and finally the two became one:

It’s Xie Shixun.

"Xuanxuan, don't be afraid, I'm here."

After Xie Shixun finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch the magic circle. However, the magic circle, which seemed very powerful to Li Xuanxuan, dissipated immediately when it was touched.

Li Xuanxuan watched the last bits of golden light from the magic circle dissipate before she looked back at the person standing in front of her.

It’s Xie Shixun.

It’s Xie Shixun for sure.

But it’s not Xie Shixun either.

Under Li Xuanxuan's complicated gaze, Xie Shixun finally stopped and asked, "Xuanxuan, what's wrong?"

Li Xuanxuan was silent for a while before she spoke: "Xie Shixun, let me see the truth."

"the truth?"

"What truth?"

Li Xuanxuan glanced around. After the magic circle disappeared, the house fell into darkness again. The big man who had rushed towards Xie Shixun fell to the ground and there was silence all around.

Reasonable, but also weird.

Li Xuanxuan looked directly at Xie Shixun. She was firm and confident: "Tell me the truth here."

Xie Shixun, who was sitting opposite him, lowered his eyes upon hearing this. A look of loneliness appeared on his face. "Xuanxuan, I don't know what you are talking about."

"After I received your letter, I immediately rushed back to Qinghe City. I wanted to see you and hear you say it in person. But you left, and the Li family didn't know where you were. I searched all the way here, and it took a lot of effort to find you. You..."

"Xuanxuan," Xie Shixun looked up at Li Xuanxuan, with a hint of pleading in his words, he said:
"Let's not break off the engagement, okay?"

This was Xie Shixun whom Li Xuanxuan had never seen before.

But this did not shake her. Li Xuanxuan still looked at Xie Shixun and insisted: "Let me see the truth here."

Xie Shixun shook his head, "The truth is what you see——"

Li Xuanxuan stopped listening to Xie Shixun. She interrupted him and called out a strange yet familiar name:

"Little trace back!"

After blurting out this, Li Xuanxuan was a little stunned, but before she could think about it, a sharp cry responded to her:
"grumble!"

The voice was obviously harsh, but Li Xuanxuan could hear the excitement in it, and also... a bit of grievance?
Li Xuanxuan subconsciously wanted to find the owner of the voice, but her attention was drawn to the collapsing scene around her.

The house fell down like pieces, but the new scene was still exposed inside the house.

Exactly the same house.

Suddenly, an identical version of herself appeared beside her, and the next moment, the magic circle reappeared and enveloped them again.

When Li Xuanxuan was about to look again, Xie Shixun, who had been standing motionless opposite her, suddenly stretched out his hand with his palm facing her. A suction force came and pulled her out of the magic circle in an instant.

"Xie Shixun?" Xie Shixun did not look at Li Xuanxuan beside him. His eyes were still on the magic circle. Just when Li Xuanxuan thought he would not speak, she heard him say:
"Don't you want to see the truth here? Look."

'I'll accompany you.'

After Xie Shixun added the last sentence in his mind, he straightened Li Xuanxuan's shoulders. At this time, a cry of pain was heard from the magic circle.

"what--"

Li Xuanxuan looked over quickly, only to see 'herself' inside the magic circle curled up on the ground in pain.

There were sudden cheers from all around, and Li Xuanxuan then realized that the big men who had fallen to the ground were now surrounding the magic circle, clapping and laughing.

After the mocking voice, a mysterious man in a black cloak appeared on the other side of the magic circle.

Li Xuanxuan confirmed at a glance that the man was not Xie Shixun.

Who would that be?
"You like saving people so much? Then I'll let you save as many people as you want!"

The hoarse male voice, as if it came with its own remix, echoed in Li Xuanxuan's ears, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But she soon felt Xie Shixun's hand on her shoulder tighten, and her heart miraculously calmed down in an instant.

Li Xuanxuan looked back at the cloaked man opposite her. She tried very hard to see his face clearly, but she could not see anything. She could only vaguely feel that the other party's gaze was on "herself" in the magic circle.

Li Xuanxuan also looked back at herself, but she immediately sensed her own fear? And, anger?
Li Xuanxuan felt someone walking by and subconsciously looked over. She saw a big man pushing a woman to the magic circle. He pasted a talisman paper on the woman's back, then pulled out a big knife and chopped the woman's back!

"what!"

Two female screams were heard at the same time, and both the woman and Li Xuanxuan in the magic circle had a bloody wound on their backs.

Such a brutal scene did not cause discomfort to the people on the field, but instead brought them even louder laughter.

Soon another big man came over, also holding up a big knife, and slashed at the woman's body on the ground again.

One after another, one knife after another, until the woman died completely.

Li Xuanxuan reluctantly looked away, but unexpectedly discovered that the blood flowing from the woman on the ground was slowly flowing into the magic circle!
Li Xuanxuan quickly looked at the person in the formation, only to see that the scars on her body were the same as those of the woman on the ground. Li Xuanxuan could feel that her pain was no less than that of the woman on the ground, but she was still alive.

It's a magic circle!
It's the blood!

They were hurting her while extending her life!
How can you do this? !
Li Xuanxuan couldn't help but take a step forward, but at this moment, she couldn't touch any person or object in the scene at all. She could only watch those big men continue to bring people over to be tortured. She could only watch 'herself' in the formation endure this inhuman pain over and over again.

Li Xuanxuan knew very well that physical pain was only one aspect, and the other aspect was psychological pressure, because these people died because of her.

Li Xuanxuan looked at the piles of corpses outside the magic circle, and then looked at 'herself' covered in blood inside the magic circle. She felt that her vision was full of red, a dazzling red, a shocking red.

Li Xuanxuan couldn't bear it anymore and lowered her head. Just when she wanted to close her eyes, another little boy was thrown on the ground!

It was the little boy she rescued during the day!

Li Xuanxuan's eyes widened suddenly, she stretched out her hand, and shouted: "No!"

But along with her voice, there was also a big knife raised high!

The knife rose and fell, and blood splattered.

Li Xuanxuan forced herself not to close her eyes. She tried to open them wide and see——

The little boy is fine!
His grandfather came and protected him, but his grandfather also died.

The little boy was trying hard to hug his grandfather's body with his small body, and he was shouting "Grandpa" and "Grandpa" heartbreakingly.

Seeing this, Li Xuanxuan clenched her fists in pain.

However, the next moment, the hoarse voice sounded again: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a touching grandfather-grandson relationship! What a pity, stupid human, my formation is complete!"

"Seventy-seven and forty-nine people have been sacrificed. You can't escape!"

As the words fell, the formation burst into dazzling light, and a powerful spiritual power burst out in all directions. Except for Li Xuanxuan and Xie Shixun, everyone was swept to the ground.

Li Xuanxuan felt uneasy. She could only stare at the magic circle without blinking. After a long time, the light faded away. She saw that 'herself', who had been paralyzed due to injury, suddenly stood up.

The two looked at each other in a flash, and Li Xuanxuan clearly saw that her eyes were red, and her heart couldn't help but sink.

The stare between the two had no effect on Li Xuanxuan in the magic circle. She just looked around without stopping, then stretched out her hand to suck a knife into her hand, and her figure moved in an instant, leaving only an afterimage.

'She' attacked the big men around!
Unlike the forty-nine people who suffered before, these big men didn’t even have time to scream before their heads fell to the ground.

The bodies of forty-nine people, together with the bodies of the big men, formed a pile of corpses all over the ground, and blood covered the ground.

Li Xuanxuan's legs went weak in an instant.

When she almost fell, it was Xie Shixun who grabbed her.

Li Xuanxuan raised her head in panic, but she bumped into Xie Shixun's calm eyes. After a moment of daze, Li Xuanxuan suddenly came to her senses. She grabbed Xie Shixun's wrist with her backhand and shouted in a sharp voice:

"it's me!"

"I killed all these people!"

She came to Jinfeng Town with Xie Shixun. On the night Xie Shixun disappeared, she came to this house and saw corpses all over the ground. In fact, they were all killed by her!
It wasn't Xie Shixun who did it at all!
On the contrary, it was Xie Shixun who was helping her cover up the truth!
Realizing this, Li Xuanxuan's body couldn't help but tremble, her pupils kept shaking, and she seemed to be in a huge shock.

Seeing this, Xie Shixun pursed his lips tightly. He held Li Xuanxuan's hands and exerted force secretly, his eyes full of disapproval, and his words were full of regret:
"Li Xuanxuan, look carefully and see if you were the one who did this!"

Deep within those harsh words, there was also a hint of heartache.

His Xuanxuan was the kindest person. She would not hurt others even if she got hurt herself. So how could she kill innocent people?

In a corner where no one could see, Xie Shixun's hands were hidden under his clothes, also trembling slightly.

Li Xuanxuan was completely unaware of this.

But Xie Shixun's words brought her back to her senses. She looked back at the location of the magic circle. Miraculously, as she looked back, the scenes that had happened before were quickly rewinding and replaying.

This time, the light of the magic circle could no longer block her sight. She could clearly see the magic circle pattern activated by the blood sacrifice of forty-nine people.

It is indeed a forbidden magic circle!
Just according to the patterns of the magic circle, the target of the magic circle should be 'oneself' in the circle, so how can spiritual power be released?
Li Xuanxuan pushed Xie Shixun away and walked towards the magic circle step by step.
