Chapter 509 No Return
The group returned along the same route and came to the edge of the fire pool, but noticed that the situation of the left-behind team on the other side was somewhat abnormal.
When they crossed to the other side one after another, they found that the old man who had suffered the pain of losing his son was gone, and the remaining crowd looked like he was restless, as if he had suffered great fear.
"Why, has that gentleman already gone back first?" Luo Chenxing, as the person in charge, asked casually on a routine basis.
But his question seemed to awaken everyone from his lost state, and immediately rushed over, hiding behind him, while tremblingly raising his hand to point at Ye Shuo.
"The murderer... he is the murderer! He killed his son first, and then killed me... the murderer, the murderer..."
"Are you guys finished?" Ye Shuo was too lazy to get angry now. Although he didn't know what was going on here, he had a clear conscience in any case.
"Is it fun to slander others? I've been with the big army just now, how can I be distracted from killing people? Besides, even if he dies, he should have left his body! What about the body? Was it eaten by me or you?"
Although this group of people was fierce when accusing him, no one dared to look at him head-on. Seeing that his eyes were swept, he immediately avoided his eyes, but he was still muttering something incoherently.
Although most people did go along with Ye Shuo just now, it was easy for everyone to transform into a clone to become more and more innocent. Moreover, Wufeng also made three-foot waves. When they heard such bizarre accusations, everyone's eyes could not stop circling Ye Shuo, and the discussions were endless.
Amid the noise, Xilingbei suddenly strided out of the queue, walked to a wide flat ground beside the fire pool, squatted down and observed the ground carefully, and raised a palm to touch the slippery sand and stones. He frowned for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
There was nothing in that area, and his actions also aroused the curiosity of many people. However, this brief attention soon disappeared in his continued silence.
To be honest, if Luo Chenxing did this, it might also attract some attention. Since the other party is Xilingbei, they can only attribute it to the young people who are greedy for expression and are mysterious.
Only in the previous left-behind team, when everyone saw his position where he was studying, their faces were quietly covered with a deeper look of horror.
Xilingbei didn't care what others thought about it. At this time, all his energy was concentrated on this open space. After pondering alone for a long time, he stood up without warning, walked quickly to the side and was trembling crowd, and said coldly: "How did that person die? Think carefully about what happened!"
Before the Luo family could speak, he was just here to swear. Not only did everyone look at him with a little more ridicule, but even the two elders who followed him were puzzled. Their young masters are not so popular in normal times?
The left-behind people were all in amazement. They were supposed to not buy Xilingbei's account, but somehow, at this time, his eyes as if they were looking at him seemed to have a deterrent force, which made them feel fearful of facing the superiors for no reason. Apart from obedience, there was no second way to go...
"He... just now... we felt that there seemed to be only a gust of wind blowing around us..." Everyone's eyes were straight, and they couldn't help but think about it according to his words, "But when the gust of wind passed, the gentleman... he died strangely, his body turned into a piece of powder in an instant, and his corpse was gone..."
"A gust of wind blows?" Someone in the army frowned, "Is it a peerless murderous intent?"
"No... no, different..." The group of people thought hard, and finally someone came up with a suitable statement: "If the peerless murderous intent is extremely fierce, then this gust of wind is... extreme evil. Yes, evil! It's so terrible, really scary..."
"Ye Shuo, you are the only one who has a grudge with him just now. As soon as you turn around, he dies. How can we believe it has nothing to do with you?"
"Yes, even if we didn't see you killing with our own eyes, who knows you used other evil means!"
"Who doesn't know how your territory in Dingtian Mountains came about? If you don't have any skills, you will never be able to build four major sects at a young age..."
Ye Shuo was upset when he listened to everyone's accusations and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, when Luo Chenxing's expression on the other side suddenly moved slightly.
"Demonic energy erodes..."
"If I was wrong, that person should have died of the erosion of demonic energy."
Upon hearing this, Xilingbei turned his head suddenly and stared at Ye Shuo tightly. His expression was also unprecedentedly serious.
At first Ye Shuo thought Xilingbei wanted to take advantage of the situation again and use this reason to suppress him, but when he looked at each other, he suddenly felt a little strange.
Xilingbei's eyes now were not as if he was staring at a person who had a marriage with him, nor was he facing an enemy who made him want to take advantage of the situation at any time. He looked like he was observing a stranger he had met for the first time. And he was also a stranger that he couldn't see through.
Before Ye Shuo could sort out the complexity, Xilingbei's gaze was becoming more and more confused, as if he had seen something difficult to solve in himself. He then took back his aggressive side a moment ago, stopped talking, and walked back to the team silently, with his head down and his face still not disappearing.
"Not to mention that Junior Brother Ye is indeed with us throughout the whole process. Now this is the Six Divine Realm, and the place where the magic weapon is about to be unearthed. Isn't it normal to have any leaked demonic energy? Maybe it can only be said that the gentleman is not lucky." Gong Tianying also spoke at this time.
Since even Luo Chenxing confirmed that the cause of death was the erosion of demonic energy, Xilingbei had already stopped, and the sound of accusing Ye Shuo in the large army gradually became lighter. After all, in the conventional concept, a human being would never be able to release demonic energy. No matter how bizarre the incident was, it could only have nothing to do with him.
Although the left-behind team did not believe in any coincidence, they could not provide strong evidence, so they could only stop in disappointment, but some people still said: "Okay, the magic weapon is the most important thing in front of them. We can not cause trouble for him for the time being, but we will never regard such a person as teammates again!"
A storm finally ended temporarily. But in the team that met again this time, everyone was obviously even more disagreeable.
Ye Shuo walked silently behind the queue. At this time, even himself could not help but have a trace of doubt about himself.
It wasn't because of those people's accusations, but the whole thing seemed like a coincidence.
When he left before, he did have the idea of wanting that old fool to stay here forever. But that was just a thought! It was an idea that anyone could have when they were furious! No matter what, he would never do anything that would be unfavorable to that person.
But why... why did I hope he died, and he really died? Even the time point is strangely consistent... Could it be that I have the ability to kill someone with some intention, and I don’t even know it?
As he thought about it, Ye Shuo couldn't help laughing again.
It's not so mysterious. If he really wanted anyone to die, he could want anyone to die. Chu Tianyao and Luo Dixing wouldn't be alive yet.
So, maybe it's really just a coincidence, although it's a not very pleasant coincidence.
The murderer's crime seemed to have been entangled with him. Even when he was practicing kindness to others in the past, as long as someone around him died, the murderer's big hat would undoubtedly be held on his head and he could not even take it off.
Everyone says that my physique is special... In fact, what I really have may be just a bad physique. Ye Shuo thought sadly.
Behind him, Xilingbei's eyes kept following his back, and from time to time they would sweep over the rest of the team one by one, and there was always a kind of insolvency of confusion in his expression.
"It's not him... So, who will it be?"
Along the way, Xilingbei always frowned and ignored the concerns of the two elders beside him. At the same time, a strange purple light quietly passed through his lower eyes, but no one noticed it.
...
After leaving the Ancient Emperor Cave Palace, he walked all the way north and soon entered the "road not to return".
This is a valley filled with demonic energy all year round. Although the demonic energy has been diluted to the lowest level due to the passage of thousands of years and will no longer cause fatal erosion to humans, walking in it also makes people feel a little uncomfortable and the operation of spiritual power has slowed down. As a last resort, I had to slow down.
What is deposited in the ancient emperor's cave is an ancient atmosphere. What echoes on the way back is a deep desolation. This place is like the end of the world, there is no people, no vitality, only ubiquitous despair and death silence, which makes people suspect that they are walking on the other side of the Forgetful River, on that endless passage.
No one spoke all the way until he turned a path again, and a layer of fog floated faintly in the air. The concentration of the fog continued to increase, covering the road ahead and covering the fields. In a blink of an eye, everyone could no longer see the faces of the people around him.
"It's foggy..." Someone sighed faintly, "How can you go like this? Master Luo, do you have this map of no return?"
Luo Chenxing's footsteps still did not stop: "It is said that the path on the way back will change at any time. Every group of people come in and walk through different places, and even if there is a map, it is useless. Moreover, you cannot stay here or look back, otherwise you will be lost forever in the desolation."
When everyone heard this, they were panicked. They didn't care about being blocked in their vision and quickly accelerated their pace, for fear that they would be left behind by the team if they were negligent and would be lonely souls wandering on the way back for generations.
Stumbling in the thick fog, I don’t know how far I went, but suddenly, at the end of the distant fog, several human figures suddenly appeared. Although it was just a vague outline, it is always gratifying to see a little breath of life in this dead and silent environment.
"Is that the team that entered the road without returning before?" Someone had waved his hand at them. If one person had the more power, maybe the other party would know how to get out of the road without returning.
At this time, they all forgot the rules that they could not go back here, and no one went to explore why those people could come face to face. In the thick fog, fearing that the other party would not be able to see clearly, more and more people joined the roster of waving hands.
Soon, the vague black shadows also noticed them, and suddenly showed joy in seeing their companions. They spread their legs and rushed over.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
However, when the dark shadows gradually became clear in the thick fog, the joy on everyone's face was replaced by a heavy fear.
He wasn't a companion at all.
They were rotten corpses with charred bodies all over their bodies and emitting a fishy smell.
The body of the rotten corpse is also surrounded by a layer of demonic energy.
It is said that many travelers who lost their way back or died of demonic energy after death. After death, their bodies continued to be eroded by demonic energy. Over the years, they turned into demonic corpses.
These demon corpses have no thoughts and only have the instinct of fighting. Usually, they will fight and devour each other on the way back. Once the breath of outsiders appears here, they will quickly connect to one another and launch an attack.
Those who have been bitten by the demon corpse will also become demon corpses and stay here.
The battle began in the shortest time.
Luo Chenxing's hand shot a blood line, and easily penetrated a hole into the chest of a demon corpse in front of him. But the demon corpse had no pain at all, and the wound on its chest was surrounded by demonic energy. The rotten meat piece quickly squirmed, filling the hole that appeared a moment ago. The movement was not affected at all, and he waved his hard arm and smashed it down at Luo Chenxing.
Several crisscrossing blood lines flashed in the air.
Like the sharpest quick knife, one of the arm of the demon corpse was cut off on the spot.
The same scene happened again. The broken limbs of these demon corpses regenerated without even thinking. They were cut off and then regenerated. The speed was even more amazingly fast. The whole process was probably just a few blinks.
On the other side, an old man was besieged by several demon corpses. The repeated suppression caused him to be harsh. He slashed his head with a backhand and cut off the head of a demon corpse in front of him. At the same time, he quickly turned around and waved his knife to hold the attack of the other demon corpses.
At this moment, a thick layer of demonic energy suddenly rose behind him.
The demon corpse that he had just beheaded had a head yet.
The gloomy figure looked down at the old man, with demonic energy everywhere, making it look particularly tall, like a devil from the underworld.
The next moment, the demon corpse opened his mouth wide and swallowed half of the old man's head in.
The blood slowly flowed under his sharp teeth. Gradually, the bright red turned into a black and purple color.
And the old man's face then turned into the same black and purple color.
He opened his mouth and let out a howl, with two hideous fangs exposed in his mouth.
