I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 675 Reappearance (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Inside the side hall, the lamplight flickered.

In the center of the hall, a large wooden table was placed, on which were displayed several unopened jars of spiritual wine and several plates of crystal-clear spiritual fruit.

Jiang Yi sat alone on a low stool, her back straight and her eyes calm.

In front of her was an empty bowl with wine stains at the bottom. She was the first to arrive and drank a bowl to calm herself.

Footsteps came from the palace gate. Shen Puning was the first to enter. When she saw Jiang Yi, she rushed over quickly, her face full of concern.

"Ayi, are you alright? What were they doing taking you to the underground palace for so long? Are you hurt?"

Her voice was clear and crisp as she scanned Jiang Yi's body.

Jiang Yi gently patted Shen Puning's hand. "It's nothing, she just asked me a few questions. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Immediately afterward, Zhao Cangyun strode into the hall, and upon seeing Jiang Yi, he rushed over anxiously, "Senior Sister, I heard they took you to the underground palace, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yi stopped him with a look. Zhao Cangyun immediately wilted, scratched his head, and sat down on the other side of Jiang Yi, muttering under his breath.

"I'm just worried about you."

Shang Shixu and Bai Shengjie followed. Bai Shengjie looked around, his brows furrowed. "What's going on? They usually treat us like prisoners, but today they're throwing a banquet?"

Shang Shixu shook his head, his face also full of confusion.

Hua Luosha strolled in lazily, walked to the table, casually broke the clay seal on a jar of wine, and took a deep sniff.

"What fine wine! Tsk tsk, why are the Emperors so generous today?" Hua Luosha glanced at the outside of the hall with a half-smile. "Normally, even saying a few extra words would get you watched like a hawk, but now you're willing to bring out such a treasure for our reunion."

Mo Ling followed behind Hua Luosha, dressed in a dark blue outfit, and echoed expressionlessly, "Yeah, this sudden 'mercy' is probably something else they're up to."

Yan Kongqing was the last to enter, his face pale and his eyes dim. He noticed that everyone was looking at him with unfriendly eyes, so he paused and silently retreated to the shadows in the corner of the hall, as if trying to hide himself in the darkness.

He already knew he was disliked, and now he was even less willing to get close and annoy people.

Jiang Yi saw everything, and she suddenly stood up, "Yan Kongqing!"

Yan Kongqing looked up and stared blankly at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi looked him straight in the eye and said sincerely, "I was prejudiced against you before. I judged you with my own petty mind. I offer this bowl of wine as an apology!"

Jiang Yi raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Puning and Zhao Cangyun exchanged puzzled glances, Bai Shengjie snorted coldly, Hua Luosha raised an eyebrow, and Mo Ling seemed to be deep in thought.

Yan Kongqing gave a low, bitter laugh, "It's alright, I'm used to it."

Jiang Yi gestured for him to sit down, "Come on in, today we are all fellow disciples, there is no distinction between us!"

After Yan Kongqing sat down, the atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive.

Everyone knows that the divine senses of the Nine Emperors are omnipresent. At this moment, the side hall appears calm, but in reality, every shadow seems to be watching.

Jiang Yi took a deep breath and broke the silence, "This banquet was requested by the Qin Emperor. Today's gathering is probably... the last time. I led everyone into the Nine Provinces, but I am powerless to lead you back. This wine is my apology to you all."

She raised the newly filled wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Cangyun was the first to stand up. "Senior Sister, how can you blame me? I was the one who wanted to come with you. If anyone should apologize, it's me. I'm the one who dragged you down!"

Zhao Cangyun picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp, the wine soaking his clothes.

The hall was deathly silent; everyone felt uneasy.

Jiang Yi continued, "Today we won't talk about anything, let's just treat this as a farewell drink, and in the future..." Jiang Yi paused, for if they failed, they would have no future.

Shen Puning's eyes were slightly red. She suddenly grabbed the wine bowl and took a big gulp. Shang Shixu also silently tilted his head back and drank it down, swallowing the wine with resentment.

Bai Shengjie sneered, but also raised his bowl. Hua Luosha leaned lazily against the table, taking small sips. Mo Ling silently sipped her wine, while Yan Kongqing lowered his eyes and stared at the wine in his bowl, his Adam's apple bobbing.

No one spoke, only the sound of swallowing wine down their throats, and a heavy despair permeated the air.

The wine was good, and everyone got drunk quickly. Even the most restrained Shang Shixu and Bai Shengjie were forced to drink by Jiang Yi.

Hua Luosha didn't want to drink at first, but she quickly realized that Jiang Yi had an ulterior motive, so she joined in the drinking and soon got Shen Puning and Mo Ling drunk.

Zhao Cangyun didn't need any persuasion; he just kept drinking like a cow. Yan Kongqing, feeling bitter, tried to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Finally, Jiang Yi and Hua Luosha clinked wine jars together, ending the banquet.

When everyone regained consciousness, they were shocked to find themselves in the underground palace of the Kun Emperor's Palace, each sitting in the center of their respective altar, with a bottomless abyss in front of them.

"This is where?"

The others also sobered up instantly, warily scanning their surroundings for any trace of the Nine Emperors.

Until Jiang Yi appeared, "Don't be nervous, this is a dream. I pulled all your consciousnesses in, so it should be... safe enough."

"Ayi! You scared me to death! One moment I was drinking, the next I was on the guillotine! Couldn't you have given me a more cozy place?"

Shen Puning almost burst into tears, walked over to Jiang Yi, and slapped her.

Jiang Yi staggered from the force of Shen Puning's slap, stretched her shoulders, and continued, "Some things are hard to explain. If you believe me, don't ask for reasons, just listen to me. In fact, we have all died once before, right here with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yi, amidst the puzzled and surprised gazes of everyone, reenacted the entire process of being possessed by the Nine Emperors in his dream.

They each stood outside the altar, watching the phantom in the center of the altar.

When Bai Shengjie heard the Pill Emperor roar out 'Godfall Powder,' he trembled, but before he could ask, everyone heard Yan Kongqing's final roar.

"I'm not a coward!"

boom!
Apart from Jiang Yi, everyone turned to Yan Kongqing. Yan Kongqing couldn't help but take two steps back, his pupils dilated and his face turned pale.

It seemed that at this moment, he had not yet made up his mind to face death, so he also appeared very shocked.

Based on her memory, Jiang Yi tried her best to reconstruct the scene of that day. Fortunately, her eyes had been refined, and she could vaguely see the energy flow in the sea of ​​consciousness of others. With her deductions, she was able to reconstruct the scene almost perfectly.

When it was all over, the phantoms disappeared, and all around was silent. Everyone held their breath.

Jiang Yi spoke first, "As you can see, your current trump cards are not enough to fight against the Nine Emperors' possession. Even though Bai Shengjie and Yan Kongqing chose to self-destruct, it only severely injured the Pill Emperor and the Talisman Emperor. They couldn't take them down with them. So we must think of other ways."

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, most people were still in shock from the scene just now. At this moment, Bai Shengjie suddenly walked up to Yan Kongqing and bowed.

"Yan Kongqing, I was petty before, and I misspoke. You are not a coward. I'm sorry!"

Immediately afterwards, the others also came to their senses. Mo Ling went over to apologize to Yan Kongqing, while Shang Shixu, Zhao Cangyun, Shen Puning, and Hua Luosha all clasped their hands in respect.

Yan Kongqing's eyes reddened. "I was the one who ran away first. You don't need to do this."

Jiang Yi interrupted them and asked Bai Shengjie directly, "Did you take that Meteorite Powder?"

Bai Shengjie turned around, a wicked smile on his face, "Of course, there's no cure, Senior Sister Jiang, you don't need to worry about me anymore."

The atmosphere instantly froze. Jiang Yi sighed; her perfect ending was impossible.
