THNWO 114

Chapter 114 

The Golden-winged Bird flew at an extremely fast speed, and in no time, it soared out of the Tian Shui Sect.

Speaking of the Golden-winged Bird, we have to start from when Fang Chaozhou was transformed into a little tiger.

As time passed, Tu Bai became somewhat restless. Its tail tip swung back and forth on the bed, swaying on the ground once again. Even this time, the swaying was unusually violent. It couldn’t help but stand up, and as soon as it stood up, its body was frozen.

Fang Chaozhou finally released the spell on him. He quickly climbed up, touched Tu Bai’s big head, and said, “Tu Bai, I have to go stop them. Don’t be angry. I’ll bring you fish when I come back.”

After saying that, he rushed out, unexpectedly encountering a big surprise halfway.

“Da Hei!”

“Fang Chaozhou!”

He hadn’t flown for long when he felt a huge shadow looming over. Looking up, he realized it was the Golden-winged Bird.

The Golden-winged Bird flew above them, looking down at them while flying. The flying Golden-winged Bird became even larger.

Fang Chaozhou looked at the Golden-winged Bird above and suddenly had a thought, “Da Hei, it’s your little brother. Can you ask it to take us to the mountaintop?”

The Brown chicken immediately did so. It called out to the Golden-winged Bird, and the Golden-winged Bird really descended, stopping in front of them. Fang Chaozhou immediately sat with the Brown chicken. Once seated, the Golden-winged Bird flew back into the air. Its flying speed was beyond Fang Chaozhou’s comparison. It felt like in the blink of an eye, they had already reached the peak of Hua Li Mountain.

And the peak at this time had become ruins, not only ruins but also a purgatory on earth.

Blood and corpses piled up, and the stench of blood was so strong that it made people nauseous.

As soon as Fang Chaozhou arrived, he happened to see Xue Danrong, who had been knocked away. Without hesitation, he let the Golden-winged Bird fly over and used a spell to bring him up instantly.

The Brown chicken looked down tremblingly, then stuck even tighter to Fang Chaozhou. However, there was still a person lying in Fang Chaozhou’s arms, which was a bit obstructive.

“Fang Chaozhou, where are we going?” It spoke while sneakily kicking Xue Danrong.

Fang Chaozhou looked down, “Master was attacked. We should inform the sect. However, Xue Danrong has been possessed, and he even fought with Zhongli Yueshui.” Fang Chaozhou explained the situation. If the sect knew what Xue Danrong had done, would they lock him up? But being locked up was better than death. In Xue Danrong’s current state, he was letting out more than taking in, so it would be better to send him back for treatment. Even if Zhongli Yueshui was angry, he wouldn’t take Xue Danrong’s life.

He had just brought Xue Danrong out, fearing that if Zhongli Yueshuiwas extremely angry, he might accidentally kill Xue Dan. 

“Golden-winged Bird, go to Yizhi Peak…” Before the words were finished, Fang Chaozhou’s hand was suddenly held.

“Don’t go to Yizhi Peak.”

The person who had just been unconscious didn’t know when he woke up. Xue Danrong looked at Fang Chaozhou with misty eyes and hugged him tightly, almost embedding Fang Chaozhou into his arms.

“Tsk, why are you still showing affection? Where are you going now?” Brown chicken couldn’t stand it and secretly kicked Xue Danrong.

Fang Chaozhou was almost breathless from being hugged and hadn’t spoken yet when he heard Xue Danrong say, “Let the Golden Winged Bird go to First Peak to deliver the message. We’ll go elsewhere with our swords.”

Standing on the Broken Water Sword, Fang Chaozhou watched the direction in which the Golden Winged Bird flew, then turned his head to look at Xue Danrong, who was half leaning against him. Earlier, both he and Brown chicken had advised Xue Danrong to go to Yizhi( First( Peak first, but Xue Danrong’s attitude was very firm. Even halfway there, he spat out blood. Fang Chaozhou was afraid of upsetting him, so he had to go along with him and use his spiritual power to help Xue Danrong heal.

Although the speed of the Broken Water Sword was not as fast as the Golden Winged Bird, it flew a long distance in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. When they reached above the ruined temple, the Broken Water Sword finally stopped. As soon as Xue Danrong landed, he grabbed Fang Chaozhou’s hand and headed into the ruined temple.

Brown chicken was originally following closely behind but was stopped at the entrance of the ruined temple.

Xue Danrong set up a barrier around the ruined temple.

It seemed that no one had come to burn incense and pray for a long time. The clay statue of the Earth God inside the temple had lost its color, appearing grayish-white and unattractive. In front of the incense table, there was an incense burner, but it only had ashes and burnt red papers.

Xue Danrong went forward, placed the incense burner on the ground, performed a purification technique, and then took out a thin blanket from his storage ring, spreading it on the incense table. He directly lifted Fang Chaozhou, who had been asking why they came here, onto the table.

When Fang Chaozhou was lifted, he was stunned. When he realized that Xue Danrong was about to undress him, he became a bit angry. He grabbed Xue Danrong’s hand. “At this time, you’re still thinking about dual cultivation? Do you want to die faster?”

As Fang Chaozhou was sitting on the incense table, he was half a head taller than Xue Danrong, who was standing.

Xue Danrong looked up, and his hands were slightly trembling. “Half of it has already been destroyed. Today is the best chance to eliminate the remaining half. I’m severely injured, and the vines in your sea of consciousness will surely try to invade mine. I originally thought we could slowly eliminate the vines in Senior Brother’s body through dual cultivation, but now I can’t wait any longer.”

Fang Chaozhou didn’t know it. When he first appeared in Zhichun Island through disguise, he had already aroused Xue Danrong’s suspicion. Later, Xue Danrong deliberately lured Fang Chaozhou out and tested him with a blue umbrella.

The blue umbrella acknowledged its master, and only the owner, Fang Chaozhou, could use it.

During their first dual cultivation, Xue Danrong probed into Fang Chaozhou’s sea of consciousness with his spiritual power and saw the vines inside. Unlike what Fang Chaozhou himself saw, the sea of consciousness that had just been dual cultivated was now covered with vines.

When Xue Danrong appeared, the vines couldn’t wait to entwine themselves.

For the vines, Xue Danrong was their remedy.

In fact, Brown chicken’s explanation was entirely wrong. It thought Fang Chaozhou lacked water, so it replenished water, but all the water went to the vines. The vines absorbed the water, becoming stronger and eventually completely devouring Fang Chaozhou. At the same time, to reduce Fang Chaozhou’s vigilance, the vines withdrew their demonic energy, making Fang Chaozhou think he was on the right path.

So Fang Chaozhou’s condition worsened each time, as he thought he was driving away the vines but, in reality, the vines were slowly infiltrating his body, eventually taking control of him, the master.

As for the Nascent Soul in Fang Chaozhou’s sea of consciousness, it was indeed devouring the vines, but its consumption rate was too slow. It believed it could digest the vines.

Seeing the vines filling Fang Chaozhou’s sea of consciousness, Xue Danrong naturally sensed something was wrong. He also remembered the vines that pulled Fang Chaozhou underground five years ago. He looked through ancient texts, which suggested two methods for this situation. One involved obtaining a large number of demonic beast inner cores, nurturing them with blood, grinding the cores into medicine, and continuously drinking the medicine and bathing in it for a month before taking action to kill the demonic beasts inside. The second method was to let another person actively raise demonic beasts over a long period, enticing the demonic beasts to come.

The second method was not suitable for all demonic beasts, but it happened that the vines were inside Fang Chaozhou. Since there were many vines, unlike other demonic beasts, the second method could be used.

Xue Danrong chose the second method. Every time he dual-cultivated with Fang Chaozhou, he intentionally opened his sea of consciousness, attracting the vines to come over. Once a portion arrived, he immediately killed them. Fang Chaozhou was oblivious to this in the latter part of the process.

Although this method took a longer time, it gradually cleared away most of the vines.

After listening to Xue Danrong’s explanation, Fang Chaozhou shook his head immediately. “No, in your current state, how can you…”

Before he could finish speaking, his lips were covered.

The emotions in Xue Danrong’s eyes were obscure and hard to understand. The starry sky that used to reside in his eyes had now become stagnant water, only stirring slightly when he looked at Fang Chaozhou.

“If I don’t help Senior Brother clear it, Master will definitely come in the end. If I die, Senior Brother and Master will be together, which is fine. But if I don’t die, I don’t want to hand Senior Brother over to Master.”

In the end, his voice sounded like it was coming out from tightly clenched teeth, and the black aura between his eyebrows intensified.

After saying this, he let go of Fang Chaozhou’s hand and replaced it with his lips.

This kiss was urgent, like a sudden rain in late summer, pouring down abruptly, carrying a touch of melancholy. As if when this kiss ended, this short summer day would completely pass away.

Fang Chaozhou reached out and supported Xue Danrong’s shoulder, breathing slightly, “In your current state, you’re still thinking about helping me heal. Aren’t you afraid you’ll die directly?”

Behind the ruined temple, there was a large hole, and a ray of sunlight streamed in perfectly. It fell in front of the desk, illuminating a small area, while the rest was shrouded in darkness. The light was dim, and Xue Danrong’s face became somewhat blurry, except for the red mole on his forehead, burning like fire, seemingly capable of scorching one’s heart.

“My life is owed to Senior Brother. Now, I return it to Senior Brother.” His voice was soft, “I only hope that Senior Brother remembers me for a few more years.”

As the words fell the scene, “Bird enters the cage,” “Floating flowers, rippling pistils”, follows.

After the “storm,” the ruined temple fell completely silent.

After some time, there were finally some sounds. The young man lying down hadn’t opened his eyes yet, but he had raised his hand to his forehead, breathing in, only to stop halfway.

He slowly opened his eyes, and when he met the lotus-like face leaning against his shoulder, his body stiffened. He tentatively reached out to touch the other’s face. Not only did he touch it, but he also pinched it firmly, making the other’s cheeks blush before stopping.

The young man gritted his teeth, slightly straightened up, and when he saw the place still intact, his composure completely collapsed.

After who knows how long, the young man finally tidied up himself and the robes on the person with him. He probed into Xue Danrong’s body with spiritual power, finding that the spiritual power inside him was chaotic, and even the sea of consciousness was in an ownerless open state.

Although Xue Danrong didn’t die, he was not far from death.

The young man immediately got up to leave, but as he stood up, he couldn’t help but support his waist, his expression contorting. When he reached the entrance of the ruined temple and dispelled the barrier, he intended to ask Brown chicken if it could still contact the Golden Winged Bird. However, as soon as the barrier was lifted, he saw Brown chicken being ridden by a shiny golden bird.

Fang Chaozhou: “…” Why does this golden bird look so much like a smaller version of the Golden Winged Bird?

The feathers on Brown chicken, who was being held messily, rose as it looked up at Fang Chaozhou: “…”

It suddenly shook its body, throwing off the golden bird on its back. Not only that, but it also anxiously stepped on the other a few times, “Stupid bird, I told you I’m a male. If you ride me again, I’ll burn you to death!”

As it spoke, it spewed out a small flame.

Upon seeing the flame, the golden bird’s eyes lit up, and it opened its mouth to swallow the flame. After swallowing it, it approached Brown chicken again, but the latter, annoyed and embarrassed, suddenly increased in size and kicked the golden bird into the mud.
