Chapter 722 - For You, I'm Don't Mind Falling into the Demonic Dao!
Chapter 722: For You, I’m Don’t Mind Falling into the Demonic Dao!
The woman in the ancient coffin was dressed in a red wedding dress, her hands placed on her chest. She was extremely beautiful. Even though she was long dead, her skin was still as rosy as a living person’s.
The perfect red wedding dress accentuated her exquisite figure. As the cold air from the ice coffin filled the air, it added to her elegance.
If one took a closer look, they would discover a fist-sized hole where the woman’s heart was. The blood had already solidified.
“Yu’er, it’s been 20 years. For 20 years, for countless days and nights, there was never a time Qianhan doesn’t miss you!”
At that moment, Shi Qianhan was no longer as cold as before. His expression was exceedingly softened. He just bowed and reached out to gently caress the face of the woman in the coffin.
Tears poured down from the corner of his eye.
Pitter-patter…
Tears fell on the woman’s forehead.
Shi Qianhan hurriedly reached out to wipe them away, appearing flustered, “Yu’er, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose!”
He slowly carried the woman out of the ice coffin and gently pulled her into his embrace. His expression seemed to be filled with pain, “Yu’er, I knew that you had a motive for hiding by my side back then, but do you know why I didn’t reject you?
Because the moment I laid eyes on you, my heart was moved. I’ve always been born for the sake of the sword, and my heart is only for the sake of bringing glory to the 10,000 Swords Pavilion, to meet master’s expectations!”
He kissed the woman’s forehead and seemed to be talking to himself, “From the first time I saw you, I knew what love was. Hence, even though I knew that your motive wasn’t pure, I still didn’t reject you.
Later on, you snuck into my 10,000 Swords Pavilion’s secret chamber and stole the cultivation technique. When master found out, he lifted his sword and chased after you. I didn’t want you to die under his sword, so I fought him!”
Shi Qianhan’s face was filled with bitterness, “Master was extremely disappointed in me. He saw me as a traitor and wanted to kill me. But at the critical moment, you returned to block master’s fatal sword for me…
Why were you so foolish?”
At this point, a trace of extreme sorrow emanated from his body, “If you aren’t in my world, then what’s the point of me living in this world?
Your death means that my heart has also died!”
He reached out to gently smoothen the crumpled clothes of the woman in his arms, “For you, I would rather give up my identity as the young pavilion master of the 10,000 Swords Pavilion. For you, I didn’t hesitate to betray my sect, went into the Demonic Dao, and become the Demonic Dao Shi Qianhan that everyone hates…”
…
On the second floor, under everyone’s nervous gaze, Xiao Shun carried the lantern and finally approached the coffin blocking the staircase.
He gritted his teeth and lowered his head to look down. He seemed to have discovered something. He crawled into the coffin and disappeared.
There was no movement inside.
Everyone’s heart was in their throats again. Bai Shaoyu asked worriedly, “Did something happen to Xiao Shun?”
“Wait!”
Xiao Yuanjing frowned slightly and said, “If there’s an accident, it’s impossible for us not to notice. Furthermore, Xiao Shun didn’t even cry for help.”
Not long after, a head slowly poked out from the coffin!
It was Xiao Shun.
However, everyone did not look relieved at all. Instead, they looked at Xiao Shun who walked out of the coffin in fear.
Bai Shaoyu’s face twitched, “Yuanjing, how could this be…”
His voice was shaking.
Xiao Yuanjing’s expression was terrifyingly grim!
“Brother!”
Luo Shuiyao subconsciously leaned behind Luo Tianya.
Even Ye Chen’s eyes could not help but focus. He saw that Xiao Shun’s image had changed drastically. The lantern in his hand had turned into a bloody head!
The head belonged to the old man holding the sword who had first arrived on the second floor. His eyes were wide open, and a strange grin appeared on his lips.
Xiao Shun’s head had also changed!
It turned into a lantern!
That was right, it was a lantern!
It was as if Xiao Shun’s head had been swapped with the previous lantern.
Xiao Shun did not realize this as he walked over with a smile, “Young master, I’ve gone to take a look. This coffin is actually a passageway…”
His voice was clearly Xiao Shun’s, but when he spoke, it was the mouth on the old man’s head that was moving.
Xiao Yuanjing shouted, “Don’t come over!”
“Young master, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Shun stopped in his tracks obediently and asked in confusion, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“Kill him!”
Bai Shaoyu’s eyes twitched. He condensed a palm print and shattered Xiao Shun, as well as the head in his hand.
An even stranger scene appeared.
After the old man’s head was shattered, his broken facial features actually reformed. He widened his eyes and grinned at the crowd, “All of you will die. I guarantee that all of you will die. There will be no exceptions!”
Bang!
Bai Shaoyu sent another punch forward, smashing him into a pulp.
Another person died!
No, more accurately, it was two people!
Everyone’s expression gradually turned grim, and a trace of uneasiness lingered in their hearts like an inner demon.
What exactly happened to the elderly man and Xiao Shun?
Someone stammered, “W-What should we do now?”
At that moment, another person appeared in the coffin from before. His appearance made everyone’s scalps go numb.
It was because the other party was the old man holding the sword.
Unaware of what had just happened, the old man walked over with a smile, “You guys have finally caught up. I’ve been waiting for you guys!”
“Don’t move!”
Xiao Yuanjing, Luo Tianya, and the rest shouted in unison.
The elderly man was confused, “What’s wrong?”
Zhang Wuming from Mount Longhu said, “Brother Li, a-aren’t you dead?”
“You’re the one who’s dead!”
The elderly man’s expression turned furious as he berated, “Old Zhang, don’t curse me like that! I’m clearly alive and well!”
Zhang Wuming’s mind was in a mess, but he still asked with doubt, “Then why did you suddenly disappear? Also, why did you come out of the coffin?”
“Oh, this is why you asked that?”
The elderly man’s heart sank when he saw the unfriendly looks on everyone’s faces. He seemed to have realized something and immediately said, “I ran into a trap the moment I came up and fell into a secret chamber.”
At this point, a hint of fear flashed through his eyes, “I saw many coffins in the secret chamber, and all of them were people who had died on this ship. There are even writings that were left behind by Xiao Buyi!”
“What?”
“Xiao Buyi?!”
“…”
Everyone was startled upon hearing that, and Zhang Wuming hurriedly asked, “Brother Li, tell us, what did Xiao Buyi write?”
