People are in the heavens, starting as Li Xingyun

Chapter 358 Bitter fruit is also fruit!
Yin Ruozhuo?
Dugu Yuyun silently repeated this strange yet familiar name in his heart, and his usually calm and indifferent expression became dazed for a moment.

The so-called Yin Ruozhe was one of the many aliases used by Dugu Yuyun when he entered the mortal world to gain experience. It was also the name that left the deepest impression on him besides his real name.

Just because when he used this name, he met the only woman in his life who made his heart beat and almost gave up his pursuit of the way of heaven.

And that woman was none other than Lin Qing'er, the contemporary Bai Miao saint of the Nanzhao Kingdom and the descendant of Nuwa.

Fortunately, at the most critical moment, Dugu Yuyun stopped in time and finally realized the true meaning of the way of heaven that the highest good is like water. He also guided Lin Qing'er to face up to her responsibilities as a descendant of Nuwa and her great love for all living beings. In the end, they forgot each other and never met again.

The memories ended, and Dugu Yuyun's expression returned to being indifferent, and in the real world, only a breath of time had passed.

"Hmm, it looks like he still remembers it."

Shen Sui Xin saw the subtle change in Dugu Yuyun's expression just now, and he already had an idea of ​​what kind of guy he was, and the smile on his face was also tinged with sarcasm: "I really didn't expect that the head of the Shushan Sect, the most powerful cultivator in the world, was actually a shameless scum who abandoned his lover after having sex with him..."

"Master Dugu, if I spread this matter, what kind of waves will it cause in the world of immortal cultivation?"

Dugu Yuyun heard this, and his hands under the gray robe trembled slightly, but he soon looked up at the young man in green sitting on the throne, and said in a calm voice: "What happened in Nanzhao three months ago should have been caused by you, Excellency."

"If you mean sealing the water monster and taking Lin Qing'er and her daughter away from Nanzhao... yes, I did all these things!"

Shen Suixin confessed, without any intention of hiding it, and asked with interest: "Why, Master Dugu came to my humble abode this time, is it to thank me for saving your old lover?"

"Please be careful with your words, Your Excellency. Lin Qing'er is now the witch queen of Nanzhao. Although I have had dealings with her in the past, my dealings were based on affection and courtesy, and I have never overstepped my bounds..."

"No need to explain, I understand!"

Before Dugu Yuyun could finish his words, Shen Suixin interrupted him with a wave of his hand, smiling meaningfully, "You are just soul mates, fellow travelers in the pursuit of the Great Dao. Although you have a spiritual resonance, your bodies have not had the slightest contact.

So the head of the Dugu Sect is still upright and honest, and the witch queen is also pure and innocent, and she has never cheated on the witch king... That's what you mean, right!"

Dugu Yuyun: (_)
That's true, but it always feels a little weird when it comes out of your mouth.

When this strange thought flashed through his mind, Dugu Yuyun was suddenly startled. He felt that there was a problem with his state of mind, which was as good as water. He quickly calmed his mind, cleared away distracting thoughts, and dared not think about what Shen Sui Xin had just said.

"Master Dugu, why are you silent? Is it because you feel guilty?"

"..."

Dugu Yuyun took a deep breath, ignored the mocking gazes above, and forcibly changed the subject: "Since you have taken the witch queen and her daughter away, do you know the identities of them?"

"Of course, as the descendants of Nuwa, the entire Nanzhao Kingdom now knows this news... By the way, this is also a good thing I did."

Shen Sui Xin raised his eyebrows and replied very proudly.

"Your Excellency's action is indeed well-intentioned, but with your level of cultivation, you should understand that doing so deviates from the trajectory of the way of heaven and will leave huge hidden dangers in the human world in the future."

At this point, Dugu Yuyun's tone suddenly became stern, with a hint of questioning in it.

"Disaster? Are you talking about the water monster? If that's what you're referring to, then don't worry, because it won't be long before I have a way to completely solve it."

Shen Sui Xin said this in a very casual tone, as if what he was going to deal with was not a notorious ancient monster, but some random cat or dog on the street.

"It's not just because of the water monster."

Dugu Yuyun shook his head, closed his eyes and sighed, "Descendants of Nuwa were born to respond to disasters. This is their destiny. Only their sacrifice can bring peace to the world. Otherwise, more innocent lives will die in the future."

"The water monster is just one of the external manifestations of the catastrophe. If there is no sufficient sacrifice, even if it is defeated or even killed, new disasters will appear in the future, and they may even be more dangerous and powerful."

"So, what do you want to do?"

Shen Sui Xin slowly narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.

"Follow the will of heaven, and let everything return to its original state before the disaster occurs."

Dugu Yuyun said this with an indifferent expression, but the meaning of his words was very serious.

“Hahaha… What a return to the origin! What a way to follow the will of heaven!”

Suddenly, Shen Suixin laughed without any expression on his face, then stood up from the throne and sneered at Dugu Yuyun: "Master Dugu is really selfless. Do you really want to watch your old lover and her daughter die?"

"What the hell is this person who is destined to face the calamity? Why don't you do it yourself? You should know that your cultivation level is much higher than Lin Qing'er's. I believe that after your sacrifice, you will be more confident in resolving that damn calamity!"

"If I can exchange my life for the peace of the people of the world, I will naturally do my duty. But unfortunately, no one in this world can replace the descendants of Nuwa. Only they can save the people."

Dugu Yuyun shook his head and did not take Shen Suixin's words to heart. Instead, he told her about his understanding of the disaster.

As the saying goes, justice will prevail and retribution will come. In this world, every once in a while, karma will accumulate because of the immorality of the people or the unrighteousness of the monarch, and heaven will send down disasters of varying sizes as punishment.

If it is an ordinary small calamity, it will be fine, but if it is a major calamity, there will definitely be a person who is responsible for the calamity to appear in this world to complete the calamity of heaven and earth and accomplish the transfer of destiny.

However, although this person who deserves the disaster sounds like a hero who sacrificed himself to save the people, in fact, he is just an unlucky guy who takes the blame for everyone.

As for the people who were destined to have calamity in this fairy sword world, ninety-nine percent of them had already been taken care of by the descendants of Nuwa.

After all, the Nuwa clan inherited the blessing of Nuwa, one of the three ancient emperors. Every generation is a noble descendant of the royal family, born with great fortune and destiny, making them most suitable to offset the evil spirits of heaven and earth.

It is also because of this that although the Nuwa clan is known as the guardians of the human race, they have become increasingly miserable after thousands of years.

When it came to Zhao Linger's generation, although she had the false title of Princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, she was forced to leave her parents at a young age and grew up alone and helpless. Then, in just one year at the age of 28, she quickly experienced the four steps of love, pregnancy, childbirth, and death, ending her life very hastily. It was a tragedy to the extreme.

After listening to Dugu Yuyun's story, Shen Suixin's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and then a picture emerged in his mind: Zhao Linger, with the face of Xiaolongnu, lying in Li Xiaoyao's arms covered in blood...

How the hell can you tolerate this?

"You have cultivated yourself to this level, you should know that destiny cannot be violated, and all this is for the sake of the people of the world..."

“Buzz——————————”

Seeing that Shen Sui Xin remained silent, Dugu Yuyun thought that the other party had been successfully deceived by his CPU, and was about to make further efforts to influence him and lead him onto the right path like he did to persuade Lin Qing'er.

But the next second, an extremely powerful pressure came crashing down, penetrating every pore between heaven and earth. It was more than a hundred times stronger than what he had felt before when he climbed the stairs.

In shock, Dugu Yuyun even had an illusion, as if the sky above his head collapsed and fell, pressing down on his limbs and bones. If it weren't for the sword intent accumulated in his body that burst out in response, he would have almost knelt on the ground. At this moment, a thunderous roar came to Dugu Yuyun's ears.

"As Heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive to improve himself!"

"When faced with danger and disaster, everyone should find a way to take the initiative and then constantly improve their own strength to change their fate, rather than relying on the sacrifice of others to survive, not to mention that the person was a kind and innocent mother and daughter."

"If it is true as you said, that the safety of the people in this world can only be maintained in this way, then I think -"

Shen Suixin looked towards the sky with a cold expression, and said word by word: "...It is better not to have such people!"

In an instant, a slight thunder seemed to be heard in the void, but it was as if nothing had happened and soon returned to calm.

"you you……"

Dugu Yuyun on the opposite side looked at the other party with a sullen face, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

The few words that Shen Sui Xin said just now almost completely denied what Dugu Yuyun was thinking, but he was unable to refute it.

What else would he say? All the people in the world should just lie down and do nothing like trash, without having to work hard at all, just wait for the descendants of Nuwa to save them, and do nothing else?

It was too shameless, but he couldn't say it anyway.

But if you don’t refute, does that mean you have to admit that what the other person says is right? Should people resist the arrangements of heaven and go against the predetermined direction of fate?
If this is the case, then what is the way of heaven that he has been pursuing all this time, and what has he insisted on all these years?
"You...you are going against the will of heaven! Not only will you bring disaster to the people of the world, but you will also suffer the consequences one day!"

Dugu Yuyun's expression was a little distorted, his state of mind was on the verge of collapse, and he pointed at Shen Suixin and shouted.

“A bitter fruit is also a fruit.”

Shen Sui Xin said the awkward lines from an ancient puppet show, but his face was full of determination: "In short, I will solve the catastrophe, and I will also protect the descendants of Nuwa. I want to see who in these six realms can stop me!"

"As for you, Old Deng... Humph! Take my punch first. If you survive, I will consider letting you return to Shushan alive."

After saying that, without waiting for Dugu Yuyun's reaction, he simply raised his right fist and swung it forward with force.

The fist fell, the universe lost its color, and the sun and the moon wailed.

An indescribable strong will pushed across the heaven and earth, shattering the space in the hall and causing it to collapse. The fist moved forward unstoppably and in the blink of an eye it arrived at where Dugu Yuyun was, as if to swallow him up.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Yuyun also felt the crisis of death and released all the sword intent in his body without reservation.

Amid the piercing sound of swords, the void around him began to shake violently, and a faint shadow holding a long sword condensed behind him.

The figure was about ten feet tall and as straight as a pine tree, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Dugu Yuyun, but more indifferent and majestic.

The most powerful sword technique of Shushan School - Sword God!
"cut!"

Dugu Yuyun let out a low shout and controlled the shadow of the Sword God behind him. He raised the long sword in his hand and swung it forward, emitting hundreds of sharp sword auras.

The sword borrowed the power of the wind, and the wind stirred up the clouds. It spun faster and faster like a turbine, and its power gradually increased. The sword's power overlapped and expanded like a snowball, turning into a brilliant sword light, slashing towards the fist print whizzing in front.

The greatest sound is silent, without waves or ripples.

The moment the two terrifying forces came into contact, the mighty sword light turned back and was defeated so quickly that Dugu Yuyun did not have any time to react.

With the tremendous pressure of the fist, the sword intent and sword energy around him turned into nothing, and the sword-holding arm of the sword god's phantom was broken at the elbow. A crack spread upwards, covering the entire body of the phantom, and then collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Dugu Yuyun, who summoned the Sword God, was in an even more miserable state. All the acupoints in his body were torn and shattered, and a large amount of blood spurted out like a sieve, and he turned into a bloody human figure in red clothes and red hair.

But not dead yet!

Dugu Yuyun's body swayed, and he barely straightened up, looked at Shen Suixin and said, "Sir, I have already taken the punch."

Shen Sui Xin smiled and took another step forward. Without retracting his raised fist, he used the momentum of his step to press down with his ordinary fist, shattering the void and hitting Dugu Yuyun right in the chest.

The makeshift defensive spell was instantly shattered, and Dugu Yuyun's body was also shattered.

A ray of spiritual light appeared in the blood mist, trying to escape into the invisible void, but before it could run far, it was quickly grabbed by a big hand and imprisoned in the palm of its hand.

"Ha! You actually believe what men say. You used to be a scumbag."

Shen Sui Xin smiled contemptuously, ignoring the struggle of the spiritual light in his hand, and invaded it with spiritual power, clearing out the secrets in his heart.

"Hmm? So that's how it is. Is this what you call realizing the great Dao?"

"After all this time, it turns out that I'm just a fool being played around by others."

As if he had discovered something, Shen Sui Xin's expression was a little strange. The sarcasm in his eyes when he looked at the Yuanshen in his hand became more and more intense, and there was even a hint of sympathy.

Just at this moment, two long rainbows flew into the palace. They were Xiaobai and Xiaoqing who had finished their work.

"Master!!"

The two women came hand in hand with fragrance, and their charming faces were filled with undisguised joy, just like two female generals who had won a battle.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Just now, the two women teamed up to fight against more than a dozen monks with higher cultivation levels than them, but they ended up defeating the larger force with fewer people and captured them all.

Although Shen Sui Xin was behind this, it did not affect their good mood.

"Sir, what should we do with these monks? Should we confiscate all their magic weapons and skills?"

After spending a long time with Shen Sui Xin, the two snakes had a certain understanding of his behavior and immediately gave some correct answers.

"Of course. After all, we are all well-known figures. Since we are here, we should leave something behind before we leave. That's polite."

Shen Sui Xin smiled and nodded, revealing an expression that showed that he was a teachable child. Then, he looked at the weak soul in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"And our Shushan Sect leader, taking his life to go to Shushan to exchange for some insignificant treasures, such as the Three Emperors' Artifacts, the Demon Locking Tower, etc., shouldn't be too much... right?"
