Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Li Sushang quickly nodded in agreement and took Jiang Ming and the other two into the house. Then Cheng Lingshuang looked at Ma Feima, who was standing aside at a loss, and said in a cold voice.

"What? Are you still not leaving? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

"Don't dare."

Ma Feima's mouth twitched repeatedly and he tried to force a smile.

"Well, that's good to know."

Cheng Lingshuang snorted and walked towards the cabin.

"The house is small, it's not convenient to entertain you. Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back now."

"Have."

Ma Fei immediately took a step forward and his expression became serious.

"There is something very important, and Second Senior Sister asked me to tell you in person.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"It's about the Master."

The steps of the fifth disciple of Taixu froze.

......................

As soon as Li Suchang brought Jiang Ming into the room, she started asking him all kinds of questions, her brown eyes wide open.

"Uncle Master, what on earth is that [Sword Coming] move of yours? How come it even broke Master's Sword Divine!"

Jiang Ming took a sip of the still warm tea and explained.

"It's actually no big deal. As the name suggests, the Sword God is the ultimate in change. Without a sword, one can also have a sword. Only then can one be a free God. When the sword energy is self-contained, one can understand the essence of God."

"Its essence is to shape and extend the true qi (Honkai energy). In other words, as long as you can control more true qi, you will not be far from becoming a Sword God. However, this also requires you to have a good foundation in both your sword heart and sword form."

"My [Sword Coming] dispenses with this complicated process and only requires controlling more of the true energy. However, it also contains my unique insights into swordsmanship."

"oh oh......"

"If Su Shang wants to learn, I can teach you."

“Ohh…Ah!?”

Li Suchang thought she had heard it wrong and asked repeatedly.

"What? Teach me? Me?"

"Haha, what's wrong? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"

"No, no...it's just...I didn't expect that you would be willing to teach me..."

"..."

Jiang Ming closed his eyes and thought for a while, then chuckled.

"But maybe not now, maybe later."

"Ah...ok!"

Li Sushang nodded immediately after hearing this, and she was looking forward to it, but she was also a little unsure. Could she comprehend [Sword Coming]? No, she could definitely do it!

Her mother asked her to come here to practice sword and martial arts so that she would not be bullied. When she learns sword well, no one in this world can bully them. As long as she learns [Sword], she will be able to meet her mother's expectations!

Compared to Li Suchang's excitement, Otto seemed calm. Judging from the conversation between Jiang Ming and them just now, Otto thought that he could only believe one-third of Jiang Ming's words.

Just at this moment, Cheng Lingshuang walked into the room. She dragged her dull steps and slowly came to Su Chang's side. There was no expression on her face, as if she had no interest in anything.

Li Sushang looked at her master and smiled instinctively, as if she was trying to dispel some lingering haze, or as if she wanted to share with her master the joy that Jiang Ming wanted to teach her the [Sword Coming] move.

only......

"..."

Cheng Lingshuang paused, blinked as if in annoyance, and spoke with no emotion in her tone.

"Your mother is dead."

"......"

"...what?"

...................................

...................................

Chapter 172: Kill the rebels on Tianqiong Peak, and learn the swordsmanship and leave a legacy

"Your mother is dead."

The brief and direct words reached Li Sushang's ears, leaving her unable to react. The ruthless tone made her heart hurt as if it were cut by a knife.

She was just thinking that as long as she learned sword skills successfully, no one in the world would be able to bully her and her mother, but now... where is her mother?

She really didn't want to believe what her master said, but her master had never lied to her and had never thought of lying to her.

"...Why?"

A questioning voice came out of Su Chang's mouth. The voice was not loud, but the people present heard it clearly.

But Cheng Lingshuang's expression remained the same, and she just shook her head slightly.

"I don't know. This is the news your Sixth Uncle brought over. Your mother's Yijian Villa was burned down. No one in the villa was left alive. They were all dead."

"..."

"Where's my mother?"

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

But Cheng Lingshuang still shook her head.

"Your mother's body was not found."

"Then my mother can't die!"

Li Suchang suddenly jumped up from the stool, her body shaking violently, but she still tried hard to hold back her tears.

"How could my mother die! I..."

"Su Shang..."

Jiang Ming seemed unwilling to watch any further, so he put his hand on her shoulder and spoke softly.

"In that case, if we want to see the person alive or dead, we should go to Yijian Villa and take a look. We will make a decision afterwards."

Li Suchang nodded immediately after hearing this, but Cheng Lingshuang stood in front of them and stopped them.

"No, you have no idea what you are about to face. Besides, if that person really did it, you two would have no chance of winning."

"Master, do you mean to say that the murderer has been found?"

Li Suchang immediately came to Cheng Lingshuang and questioned her, but she seemed unwilling to speak. But at this moment, Jiang Ming suddenly spoke.

"It's the Red Kite Immortal, right?"

“——?! How do you know that?”

The expression on Cheng Lingshuang's face changed for the first time. Otto obviously had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming ignored the surprised looks of others and walked out the door with Li Suchang. Cheng Lingshuang did not stop him.

But Li Suchang kept pestering Jiang Ming and asking him questions.

"Uncle Master, what did you mean by that? Was it the Red Kite Immortal who killed my mother? But isn't the Red Kite no longer around? Why would she want to kill my mother?"

A series of questions rushed towards Jiang Ming like the sea, but he didn't say a word. He turned around to look at the girl behind him with tears in her eyes, and spoke word by word.

"Su Shang, the truth is often more cruel than reality, but I assure you that your mother will be fine. She is still alive and well. I went to Yijian Villa once before coming to Mobei."

Li Suchang was about to speak when she heard Jiang Ming's words, but was interrupted by Jiang Ming.

"Don't say anything yet. I know what you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know. Just listen quietly first."

Upon hearing this, Li Suchang had no choice but to nod silently. Seeing this, Jiang Ming explained to her while walking.

"My friend and I came to Shenzhou for only one purpose, which was to find the Red Kite Immortal. I accidentally got the news that the Red Kite Immortal did not ascend to heaven, but still stayed in the human world. As for why he has not appeared in the world for many years, I don't know."

"Then think about it carefully. How could the Red Kite Immortal, who is said to have saved the people from danger, kill your mother for no reason?"

"There must be a connection between these two. Listen to your uncle and don't let your imagination run wild until you find out the truth, okay? Nothing will happen to your mother."

"...Well, I understand, Uncle Master, I believe you."

Faced with Jiang Ming's consolation and repeated assurances, Li Suchang had no choice but to nod and agree. At this time, Cheng Lingshuang and Otto came out, and Ma Feima, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, also walked towards them.

"Hey..."

Just when Ma Fei Ma wanted to call them, the dusk turned completely dark, and the area within a thousand miles was almost completely dark.

Boom boom boom! ! !

In an instant, hundreds of white lightning roared and flashed in the sky, as if they were the only light in the world that could illuminate the world.

This sudden strange phenomenon in heaven and earth shocked everyone present, except Jiang Ming, who remained calm and protected Li Suchang beside him.

At this moment, everyone present was enveloped by a white light, and the next second they all disappeared from the spot without leaving a sound.

After they disappeared, the originally abnormal phenomena in the sky and earth gradually disappeared.

...................

The stone steps are not long, but very winding.

The Red Kite Immortal walked down the stairs in silence.

"..."

Not far behind him was a pretty girl's figure, which followed Chi Yuan gently, sometimes very close, sometimes very far away.

If Jiang Ming saw her, he would definitely recognize her - this person was Chi Yuan's first disciple: Lin Chaoyu! But her appearance was that of her youth.

"..."

The girl also did not speak. Her silence was completely different from Chi Yuan's. This girl was a non-existent person. Her every move and every step had nothing to do with this world, and the same was true for her voice.

Except Chi Yuan, she means nothing to anyone. This is just a memory of Chi Yuan.

Thus, in this deathly silent forest, only Chi Yuan could hear the girl's low whisper.

"Master, look—the villa is on fire."

Chi Yuan looked back and saw a long thin black smoke rising from the depths of the forest and spreading out like a blooming black flower.

"Su Yi..."

She tapped her toes and in an instant she was more than ten feet away.

"...It's too late, Master."

The girl whispered.

She suddenly appeared in front, blocking Chi Yuan's path. Above her, the ink flowers were spinning quietly.

Chi Yuan stopped and just stared.

"...Since Su Yi died, Yijian Villa also died with its owner."

The girl murmured.

"Master, there is no point in going back. Your presence brought destruction, but you cannot take it away."

"...They shouldn't have died."

"Who should die? You have changed, Master. In the past, you would never care about the life and death of mortals."

"......Won't?"

"You only care about one way of living, and that is [Devilish Obsession]. Haha, if a mortal gets involved in it, it's the same as death."

The girl shrugged, glanced at the black smoke in the distance, and asked again.

"Where will [Mo Ranxiang] be?"

"Su Yi refused to tell me where it was... Alas, when a person dies, many things will disappear forever—"

"But Master, you won't give up, right? No matter how long it takes, you must find all the [Disciples] and take back every [Xuanyuan]."
