Why do you always want to be my Taoist partner?

Jiang Huanyang showed a somewhat miserable smile at this moment, "I don't want to live anymore."

After another long silence, Jiang Li asked, "Then...where is Jiang Chuyue?"

Because Jiang Li mentioned this name, Jiang Huanyang's eyes seemed to have some light, but in an instant, the light in his eyes was extinguished again. Jiang Li could see him through the white butterfly, watching him bite his lips, blood dripping from his chin, but he still said nothing, but his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

After a long while, Jiang Li asked, "Brother Jiang... you know everything, right?"

Jiang Li's words finally made Jiang Huanyang react. He looked at the white butterfly with fluttering wings and asked, "What do you know?"

"The Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect colluded with the Blood Soul Sect many years ago. In order to open the treasure of their evil ancestor who practiced cultivation many years ago, Jiang Xing and Jiang Mian used the evil cultivator's sword when he was alive to injure Jiang Chuyue. Jiang Chuyue's body was constantly infected by the sword's energy, and she will eventually become the key to open the treasure. Over the years, the Blood Soul Sect has been providing the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect with Blood Soul Orbs to help Jiang Xing and Jiang Mian practice. They have been studying the secret method left by the evil ancestor. What they need now is to open that secret book to gain the power to break through to the Saint."

Jiang Li watched as Jiang Huanyang clenched his fists, his fingertips digging deeply into the flesh. His head buried lower and lower. After a long time, Jiang Li heard him mumbling to himself.

"After you sent Chu Yue back to the sect, within a few days, Chu Yue's illness relapsed again. At that time, the sect sent me to the Eastern Region for training. I pretended to go there, but actually hid in the sect. Eventually... I found evidence of collusion between the sect and the Blood Soul Sect, and also found the exact location of the Blood Soul Sect."

"I found it from the Fourth Elder. I only knew that the Fourth Elder was colluding with the Blood Soul Sect. Based on the information, I disguised myself as a cultivator who wanted to join the Blood Soul Sect and came to the Blood Soul Sect. No one discovered my identity at first. I hid in the Blood Soul Sect for a month and found evidence of all the transactions between the Blood Soul Sect and the Dark Moon Blood Evil Sect over the past hundred years. You are right. They had colluded with each other a long time ago. The three of them conspired to unify the entire Zhongzhou, and Chu Yue, from the moment she was born, was the sacrifice they prepared."

Jiang Li couldn't help but ask, "How can they be sure to avoid being attacked by the righteous monks?"

"According to the information I have gathered, after they have broken through to the Sainthood, all the influences brought about by the blood and evil cultivation methods can be completely washed away through the secret method in the secret book that was left behind."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Li understood that as long as Jiang Xing and Jiang Mian, both of the tenth level Mahayana cultivators, could break through to the level of Supreme Saint and cleanse all their blood energy, they would no longer have to worry about being besieged by cultivators from other realms, because they no longer needed the Blood Soul Pearl.

Jiang Li knew something about the cultivation path of evil cultivators. Once the Blood Soul Pearl was used, one would have to keep using it on the road of cultivation, otherwise one would lose one's mind little by little. The higher the level of cultivation, the more Blood Soul Pearls one would need. This was also the reason why evil cultivators were wanted by everyone.

After the two exchanged information, they fell into silence.

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

Jiang Li didn't know what to say to comfort Jiang Huanyang. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. If it were him, he wouldn't know what to do.

Since he was young, he has enjoyed resources in the sect that are unattainable for ordinary people. He considers himself a righteous cultivator, and probably often performs sect missions to kill evil cultivators. He also has a close sister, and the brother and sister grew up together. But suddenly one day, he finds out that his father and elders are actually the biggest evil cultivators, and that his father wanted to kill his sister, and that his father and elders' hands are actually stained with sin.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Jiang Li tried to speak, "I will come to rescue you in a few days. It shouldn't take a few days, so you should get ready."

But Jiang Huanyang remained silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, "No need."

"So are you planning to stay here forever?" Jiang Li asked calmly.

Jiang Huanyang slowly raised his head and smiled miserably.

"They don't even dare to kill me because they have discovered my identity, but they pretend to know nothing. The guards in this dungeon are not there to guard me. As long as I want, I can leave at any time, but after leaving... where should I go?"

Where should he go? Should he go back to the sect where he grew up and pretend nothing had happened? Or should he go to the sect master Jiang Xing and ask him questions, but what was the point? He knew that Jiang Xing and Jiang Mian would not be shaken by his pleading.

So he just wanted to curl up in a corner because there was nothing he could do.

Jiang Li didn't know what to say. He was never good at comforting people, let alone Jiang Huanyang. After a long time, he asked, "After a while, I will kill the leader of the Blood Soul Sect. Sooner or later in the future, I will also kill Jiang Xing and Jiang Mian, because I promised Jiang Chuyue that I would save her. I want her to live."

"Not for the sake of the people of this world, but I promised Jiang Chuyue something, and I will try my best to do it. I said I would let her live."

Jiang Huanyang stared blankly at the flapping white butterfly for a long time. His head became lower and lower, and finally buried completely in his knees. Jiang Li said nothing more, and the white butterfly disappeared into the air.

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

Jiang Li opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Jiang Huanyang is a true genius of his generation. He has an outstanding talent in cultivation, works very hard in cultivation, and is like a gentleman. Jiang Li still remembers the trust he had given him at that time, but now seeing Jiang Huanyang in such a miserable state, he is powerless to do anything.

Jiang Li tried to think about what choice he would make if it were him, but he became afraid as soon as he thought about this question. He didn't want to make such a painful choice.

But he couldn't help but think about it in his head all night, until the sun rose in this small world. He set out and used Youlan's jade token to get a Taoist robe, as well as the jade token that belonged to him, and got the evil cultivator's cultivation method and ten blood soul beads. He also asked the canteen to send an extra breakfast in Youlan's yard.

Thinking that the Blood Soul Beads must be an extremely precious thing, Jiang Li flipped through the cultivation methods on the way. From the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Void Refining Stage, it only takes a hundred Blood Soul Beads to break through. When Jiang Li flipped through the method of refining the Blood Soul Beads, his hands trembled.

One blood soul bead requires all the blood essence of a thousand human beings.

The number is simple, but behind the number are thousands of wronged souls. Jiang Li couldn't help shaking his hand holding the blood bead. He came to Youlan, and the woman in front of him was playing the piano lazily in the courtyard. She was wearing a white dress. At first glance, she really had a bit of the flavor of an independent fairy. But now her cultivation level is the first level of refining emptiness. How much human blood essence did she rely on to achieve her cultivation level?

Jiang Li felt a little nauseous when he thought of this.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Bitch." Although she was scolding, Youlan had a smile on her face. Jiang Li was silent for several seconds and answered calmly, "This blood soul bead is quite heavy."

"Where's the weight?"

"A blood soul bead is the blood of a thousand fellow tribesmen, why is it not heavy?"

Youlan's face did not show any guilt, but was full of confusion. "Why do you think that they are our people? Or are all you righteous cultivators like this? I have seen a few people who came to the Blood Soul Sect because they were desperate. They were full of contempt for everything about the Blood Soul Sect. But when you know the benefits of the Blood Soul Pearl and your cultivation level is improved, you will no longer have such thoughts."

"Master, I want to ask you for something."

"You don't want to use this Blood Soul Pearl?" Youlan seemed to have seen through Jiang Li's thoughts, but her eyes became sharp at this moment, "You don't have any choice. When I dragged you into the Blood Soul Sect, you were already my dog ​​and a member of the Blood Soul Sect. Only when you use the Blood Soul Pearl and have the same aura as us, will we recognize you as a family member."

"And you... don't have the power to refuse!"

Youlan raised her hand slightly, and Jiang Li felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pain even made him too weak to stand like that. He suddenly fell to his knees. Youlan walked up to him step by step, lowered her head, looked into his eyes, her voice cold.

"You will soon understand that your persistence and your so-called righteousness are nothing but a joke."

------------

ps: You can make a comment on the story about Youlan after it is all written.

Chapter 241: Chapter Forget It

The pain spread from Jiang Li's chest to his whole body. This was because the heart-eating insect in his body was activated by Youlan, but at this moment he didn't even have the room to struggle. He could let Dabai devour the insect in his body now, but if he did that, everything would be exposed.

The information that Dabai gave him yesterday was very clear. Jiang Li could deal with the Blood Soul Sect's leader who was at the second level of the Mahayana stage, but the Blood Soul Sect still had several cultivators in the fusion stage. He wanted to walk out of the Blood Soul Sect alive, rather than exchange one-for-one with the Blood Soul Sect's leader.

So he chose to endure and look for a suitable opportunity to kill the leader of the Blood Soul Sect and escape safely.

The Heart-Eating Gu was burning his body and soul. Jiang Li had no room to move at all. He looked at him calmly with his orchid eyes. "I'll wait for you to beg me."

The burning of the heart-eating poison could not kill him, but it could torture a person to near madness. Youlan grew up in the Blood Soul Sect. The person she had seen who lasted the longest under the heart-eating poison only lasted for the time of an incense stick.

Jiang Li's face was ferocious, but his eyes refused to close. He stared at Youlan in front of him, and it seemed as if flames were burning in his eyes.

"You will be like us sooner or later, so why bother insisting? Your persistence is meaningless." Youlan waited quietly. Jiang Li bit his lips tightly, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but even so, he did not shout out.

Youlan had seen many people who raised heart-eating insects. The moment they came into contact with the burning heart of the heart-eating insect, they would start howling like ghosts and rolling on the ground. It was rare to see someone like Jiang Li.

Youlan looked at his painful expression and counted the time silently in her heart. She said nothing, just looked down at Jiang Li. When the time of one stick of incense was almost up, Youlan finally couldn't help but speak.

"You didn't make these blood soul beads yourself, so what if you absorbed them?"

Jiang Li didn't say anything, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. Youlan's eyes were just contemptuous at first, but gradually became colder and colder. She couldn't help but raise her tone a little, "What on earth are you insisting on?!"

Jiang Li did not answer, using silence to express his contempt.

"So what if you don't speak? But from the beginning, you have no chance to disobey my orders."

An incense stick of time had passed, and Jiang Li's body had been tortured to the point where he had almost no strength left. He collapsed on the ground with only his eyes wide open. But Youlan just hooked her finger, and the heart-eating insect in his body stretched out its tentacles, and after touching the blood soul bead, it began to suck it greedily.

Youlan no longer used the heart-eating poison to torture Jiang Li. She squatted down a little and looked at his face. Jiang Li's body was unable to move at this moment. The pain had disappeared, but his eyes were full of hatred.

"So what if you hate me?" You Lan said calmly, "You righteous monks, you shout at us to fight and kill us all day long, but when your lives are really threatened, you run faster than the other. I have seen a lot of this over the years."

Perhaps because Jiang Li looked particularly pitiful, she reached out and gently stroked Jiang Li's face, "But this is the survival rule for us evil cultivators. Once you choose this path, you have no choice but to go on. Some people have choices, and some don't. I know you look down on me from the bottom of your heart, but I also look down on you from the bottom of my heart."

"My father is an evil cultivator, my mother is an evil cultivator, and my father gave me the Blood Soul Orb when I started practicing, so I am also an evil cultivator, but I have never killed a single person, and I have only used the Blood Soul Orb given to me by others to practice until now. So, in your opinion, am I also an unforgivable evildoer who deserves to be punished by heaven and earth?"

"Even if your hands were not stained with blood, so what? Didn't those people still die because of you?"

"Then do I have a choice?" Youlan smiled innocently, "Since I was born, all the elders and friends around me have been like this. When someone handed me the Blood Soul Orb when I was still a child, should I learn to refuse? Please, no one has ever told me that this is wrong, okay? Those people died, and the life of mortals is only a few decades anyway."

"If the person who died is not someone close to you, of course you will not feel anything. But what would you do if your father died?" Jiang Li stared into her eyes.

"Whoever killed my father, I will use every opportunity in my life to kill him. The same goes for ordinary people. We killed their relatives and friends. If they have enough power, they will come to kill me. If they have no way to resist, they will be eaten. This is the survival rule that everyone around me has taught me."

The heart-eating insect had already completely devoured the blood soul bead. Jiang Li could feel that the cultivation in his sea of ​​​​qi had increased a bit, but his originally pure spiritual energy was now also tainted with a little blood.

Jiang Li slowly got up from the ground. He looked at Youlan in front of him. He only had one question left to ask.

"You've never killed anyone?"

Youlan looked back and said, "No."

"why?"

"I don't need to do those things, because I am the Saint of the Blood Soul Sect, so I just need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor. If you can please me, you don't have to refine the Blood Soul Orb yourself, you just need to stay by my side."

"Why is there no blood in your body?"

Jiang Li suddenly realized at this moment that there was not a trace of blood on Youlan's body. Her spiritual energy was particularly pure. All evil cultivators should have more or less blood on their bodies, but she did not have any.

Youlan looked at Jiang Li calmly and said, "Because I am a chaotic body."

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

Chaos body.

Jiang Li had seen this physique in an ancient book. This physique was truly rare to come by, because the Chaos Body meant possessing the best five elements spiritual roots, which meant that there would never be any shackles in one's cultivation. It meant that one could directly absorb other people's spiritual energy to practice, and even if one directly absorbed the Blood Soul Pearl, it would be converted into pure spiritual energy. The Chaos Body also meant that dual cultivation could directly replicate the other person's physique, and no matter what physique one had, it could be copied by relying on the power of chaos.

But this chaotic body, which is rare in the ages, appeared on a woman who was destined to be an evil cultivator from birth. Jiang Li suddenly felt that the way of heaven was absurd.

"This is my secret. No one knows it except my father. This is why I have never killed anyone." Youlan was silent for a moment. "My father said that if I kill too many people, I will have karma on my path of cultivation and my mind will be unstable. That's why my father never allowed me to kill anyone. I know that you still have your upright monk ways in your head. As long as you please me obediently, I will not let you kill people for me."

"You can feel it, right? Your cultivation has gone from the initial stage of the fifth level of the Spiritualization to the perfect stage of the fifth level of the Spiritualization. This is the effect of one Blood Soul Pearl. The remaining Blood Soul Pearls are all yours. Don't absorb them too frequently. Once every seven days is enough."

"It's time to practice sword fighting with me." Youlan took out her spirit sword, and Jiang Li silently took out the black iron sword from yesterday.

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

Different from yesterday's sword practice, Jiang Li used 30% of his strength today, but with only 10% more, Youlan had nowhere to hide from his sword moves. He used the same set of sword moves that Youlan used yesterday. Every sword strike hit Youlan's body, but Youlan neither cried out in pain nor called for a stop. Even though her clothes were torn and her skin had red marks, her eyes still did not show any fluctuation.

Half an hour later, Youlan's body had been covered with dozens of sword wounds, and her black skirt was stained with blood. At this moment, her black skirt seemed to be soaked in water and stuck to her body. She lowered her head to look at her body and asked calmly, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Her eyes were full of contempt. The sword practice was over. She turned and walked towards the bathtub, saying calmly, "I don't mean to blame you. Sooner or later, you will become the same kind of person as me. Before that, I have a lot of patience with you. After all, you are the one I chose."

"Don't just stand there stupidly. Come and help me bathe, if you don't want to be burned by the Heart-Eating Gu again."

Dabai came over and jumped onto Jiang Li's shoulder, using his divine mind to send a message to him, "Don't worry, even if you have a lot of blood and energy, I can eat it all in one bite."

"You are trying to save more people. You haven't done anything wrong."

Jiang Li looked at the path Youlan had walked. The path was covered with scarlet bloodstains. That was the blood dripping from her body. Jiang Li finally followed her and came to the bathing pool. At this moment, Youlan was soaking in the bathing pool. Her clothes had been completely taken off. She raised her eyes, looked at Jiang Li's face, and asked calmly, "Are you not coming down yet?"

"You are also feeling uneasy in your heart, right?" Jiang Li suddenly asked.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Jiang Li shook his head. "If you weren't feeling uneasy, why would you practice sword fighting with me and get covered in wounds?"

The girl in the bathtub suddenly came out, her porcelain-white body stained with water droplets. She stood in front of Jiang Li, and the wounds on her body had begun to slowly heal. She suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Jiang Li's neck, "I am willing to treat you like this because you are the one I chose, so I have the patience to teach you these things and give you a chance to vent your emotions, not because I feel guilty!"

"Have you seen them refining blood soul beads? Have you seen them killing people? Have you seen children crying? Have you seen ordinary people trembling? Have you heard them begging for mercy? Have you heard their wailing?" Jiang Li's speech speed became faster and faster, and his tone became higher and higher.

"so what?!"

Youlan in front of him seemed to go crazy all of a sudden, and the hand that pinched Jiang Li's neck tightened a little bit, "Then tell me, this is what I was destined to do since I was born, what do you want me to do?!"

Her hysteria did not seem sudden to Jiang Li. He was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "It's okay. I won't ask you these questions anymore."

Youlan in front of him slowly loosened her hand that was pinching his neck, turned around and walked into the bathtub again. Jiang Li looked at her pure white body, and she looked back at Jiang Li, "Come down."

Jiang Li did not take off his clothes, but walked straight into the water, looking at her eyes quietly, and finally shook his head helplessly without saying anything else.

Forget it.

Since our positions are different, there is no point in saying more.

I wonder if she will still be so determined and proud when the day comes when her father dies.

Chapter 242: Wandering

"Why do you suddenly want me to help you bathe?"

"Because you are my dog, it is only a matter of time before you serve me in bathing."

"Why did you choose me as your dog? Instead of killing me directly."

"They all have them, so I want to have one too. It's interesting to watch a decent monk gradually become a person like us."

Jiang Li didn't say anything, but he probably figured it out.
