Chapter 234 Let's do it together...
"Master, why don't you wipe the blood off your face?"
"Si Jinchuan, you haven't suppressed your murderous aura yet."
Xie Wanning and Lin Jingquan rushed forward and stood in front of Si Jinchuan.
"Master, you're acting very scary," Lin Jingquan warned in a low voice.
“Yes! We are practicing spiritual cultivation now. Your strong aura of killing intent will cause misunderstandings,” Xie Wanning explained anxiously.
Si Jinchuan gave a helpless bitter smile, but the black aura surrounding him and his bright scarlet eyes were truly frightening, making him look like a demonic cultivator who had slaughtered countless people.
However, Qiao Qingzi, Zhong Yingxiu, and Su Anying had already seen Si Jinchuan's appearance. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, their shoulders hunched, their bodies trembled slightly, and their hands gripped the hem of their clothes tightly, their knuckles turning white.
Is Si Jinchuan really not a demonic cultivator? Why does he look so much like one?
“You don’t need to be afraid. Senior Brother Si only looks scary because of his identity as the leader of the Shadow Pavilion. He’s not a demonic cultivator, so you don’t need to be afraid,” Xie Wanning explained.
Lin Jingquan hurriedly affixed a talisman to Si Jinchuan to suppress the murderous aura emanating from him.
"Master, how could you be so careless? You couldn't control your emotions again," Lin Jingquan complained in a low voice.
"Sorry, I was too angry just now."
"Jiang Ci, he..."
"He is willing to lift the curse on Junior Sister Xie."
Lin Jingquan shut his mouth. He felt a pang of sympathy for Jiang Ci, who had to suffer for so long in the hands of the Pavilion Master.
Jiang Ci was dragged out by Si Jinchuan. He was covered in wounds, but none of them were fatal.
However, he stared blankly ahead, his eyes vacant, as if his soul had been ripped away. His body was stiff, his hands hanging limply at his sides, trembling slightly. His lips were pale and cracked, and he murmured to himself, his voice hoarse and desperate.
The moment Jiang Ci saw Xie Wanning, he immediately lunged forward. Fortunately, Xie Wanning dodged in time, and Jiang Ci missed, falling to his knees with a thud. He looked up at Xie Wanning, his voice hoarse, and pleaded, "Senior Sister, I know how to break the curse. Please forgive me, and please make that evil spirit disappear quickly!"
Despite muttering "evil spirit," Jiang Ci dared not look at Si Jinchuan, as if a single glance would drag him back to hell.
Everyone else involuntarily swallowed, their breathing becoming heavier.
Only Si Jinchuan looked at Jiang Ci with satisfaction, a smile playing on his lips.
"What's the solution?" Xie Wanning asked, looking down.
"Only my heart's blood can help Senior Sister break the curse. But, Senior Sister, I promise I will stay by your side forever, and both the curse and the poison will disappear." Jiang Ci stepped forward and reached out to hold Xie Wan Ning's hand.
Xie Wanning's face darkened. She kicked Jiang Ci in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
"You guys go first," Xie Wanning said.
"Thank you, Junior Sister..."
"I have my own plans, don't worry about me."
"Let's go." Si Jinchuan took out a teleportation talisman and gave it to the others.
Before long, only Xie Wanning and Jiang Ci remained in the room.
"Senior Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have poisoned you, and I shouldn't have tried to control you with curses and Gu worms. I just didn't want to lose you, Senior Sister," Jiang Ci pleaded, his eyes filled with shame and guilt.
"Yes, it was Second Senior Brother's idea. He said that Eldest Senior Sister ignored him, and that's why he came to me for cooperation in order to get her attention. I was just deceived by Second Senior Brother."
"And then there's Junior Sister. She's always disliked Senior Sister. She was the one who suggested locking you up in the Yingxue Sect's secret realm. She wants you dead, she wants you to despair."
"Senior Sister, I have selfish motives, but I just want you to stay by my side. I have no qualms about your position, nor do I want to harm you. I have always stood by your side. I have given you many pills, and I can continue to help you with your treatment, as long as you don't abandon me." Jiang Ci was already crying uncontrollably, pleading incessantly.
"Jiang Ci, I know you're afraid of being ignored." Xie Wanning leaned down, looked at Jiang Ci, and said coldly, "I've been helping you all along. When you entered the sect, I helped you integrate into the group. When you explored the secret realm, I protected your safety. When you were sick with a fever, I was the one who went to find a healer in the middle of the night to treat you. I never doubted the pills you gave me. In the end, you used the pills to control me and conspired with Ye Qianqian against me. Jiang Ci, you're very proud of yourself, aren't you? I'm completely under your control."
"Senior Sister, you really remembered." Jiang Ci's suspicions were confirmed, and now he was filled with fear.
"Yes, I remember everything that happened before. But I've always given you chances, haven't I?"
"I spared your life in the sect's illusion. I didn't expose you when I met you in the black market. Do you know why? I actually naively thought you were deceived by Ye Qianqian? I was so stupid."
"I told you, if you make poison again, I will kill you. But why do you keep making the same mistake!" Xie Wan Ning pointed her sword at Jiang Ci's chest, the cold light of the blade flashing.
"You created the flying feather, didn't you? You've never changed, Jiang Ci."
When Xie Wanning first appeared on the black market, the poison "Flying Feather" that Qin Muyang bought was Jiang Ci's creation. A year ago, Flying Feather poisoned Zhuge Kuang and Zhuge Yun; a year later, it was used on Xie Wanning. The black-clad man with the medicinal scent that Xie Wanning encountered on the black market was Jiang Ci; he had never given up on concocting poisons.
"Hahaha!"
“Xie Wanning, you are indeed very stupid. This room has long been filled with poison gas. Do you think you can still live?” Jiang Ci’s eyes flashed with excitement. He laughed and said, “Senior Sister, you can only look at me. You will not be distracted by anyone else. You can only keep looking at me and beg me to give you the antidote and beg me to give you your heart’s blood.”
"Senior Sister, you and I can only..."
Jiang Ci fell silent, for he saw a silver sword pierce his heart, blood gushing out, the pain almost suffocating him.
"Why? Senior Sister..." Jiang Ci looked at Xie Wan Ning in shock.
“Because you deserve to die,” Xie Wanning said coldly.
“Then let’s do it together…” Jiang Ci smiled, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"Freeze!"
"Break the ice!"
"Ice Crack!" The sword flashed, splitting the entire room in two.
Jiang Ci finally breathed his last and collapsed in a pool of blood, his body covered in blood and gore.
"Bang!"
The sword fell to the ground. Xie Wanning approached Jiang Ci, took his heart's blood, and broke the curse.
She picked up the sword again, raised it high, and plunged it deep into Jiang Ci's body.
"Give me the antidote." Xie Wanning reached out, and a pill appeared in her hand.
"After watching for so long, do you also want to be killed?" Luo Ze pointed his sword at Si Jinchuan, and Xie Wanning's eyes were faintly crimson.
Si Jinchuan spread his hands, took a step forward, and Luo Ze's sword pierced through his left chest.
"Are you crazy?!" The crimson in Xie Wanning's eyes faded, and she released the Luoze sword from her hand, looking incredulously at the bloodstains all over her hands.
"puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Si Jinchuan endured the pain and swallowed a recovery pill. Only after seeing Xie Wanning return to normal did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you didn't fall into demonic possession. If you had, Wanxun would definitely blame me." With that, Si Jinchuan drew the Luoze Sword and returned it to Xie Wanning.
Xie Wanning caught Luo Zejian in shock, unsure how to face Si Jinchuan.
Si Jinchuan walked towards Jiang Ci, who had already died, and asked, "What do you plan to do? How are you going to explain this to Yan Ze? He won't let you off the hook."
