Chapter 444 - Xiao Ning (2/2)
The Corpse Puppet received the order and immediately went to the first Buddha statue. The Corpse Puppet did not have a soul, so these Buddha statues and magic tool would not attack it. However, when the Corpse Puppet touched the Buddha statue and magic tool, it seemed to be touching a red-hot soldering iron, making constant sizzling noise, and white smokes were emitted.
Fortunately, the Corpse Puppet could not sense pain and had great strength. In the blink of an eye, four Buddha statues had been toppled. The Buddha statues fell, and the magic tools also seemed to lose their effect immediately and fell to the ground.
Su Xiaomei was sitting on the ground, her eyes were full of tears, and she sobbed, “Brother Ning…”
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and Xiao Ning seemed to finally wake up. “Xiao, Xiaomei?”
Su Xiaomei suddenly lifted her head and wanted to run over. Xiao Chen pulled her back tightly. Although the mystic arts did not cause any damage to the Corpse Puppet, they had fatal damage to soul bodies.
Xiao Ning finally opened his eyes and had never expected that the person in front of him would be his lover of thousands of years ago. At that moment, his voice was a little excited, “Xiaomei! It really is you! Don’t come over!”
Su Xiaomei’s face was already flooded with tears. For a thousand years, when they finally see each other, she was so close yet so far. Xiao Ning’s cultivation was high. He could tell at this moment that she was only a soul body, presumably, her body was already long gone. His eyes became teary. “Xiaomei, why did you want to make yourself suffer? I was…”
Su Xiaomei could not stop crying, and she choked as she said, “If I don’t see you, even in death, I wouldn’t enter reincarnation…” Actually, Su Xiaomei was already dead that year, but now her soul stayed, which was also known as ghost in this world.
At that time, the two were strongly opposed by the Su family and the Xiao family. Many things happened. At that time, Su Xiaomei was seriously injured and Xiao Ning had a mission from Ling Yin. He could only settle her down in a rundown palace so that no one could find her.
That day, Xiao Ning told her that he would go back to her after he had settled everything. But when Xiao Ning returned to Violet Manor, he was besieged by several major sects and cultivators of everywhere. He eventually broke his promise.
Su Xiaomei refused to leave the palace without seeing him, but her injuries were getting worse and worse. Eventually, the beauty of the generation deceased, and her soul remained in the Frigid Jade Pendant and was indestructible for a thousand years. For thousands of years, she refused to go into reincarnation and waited for Xiao Ning in that cold palace. If she was not discovered by Xiao Chen, she would still be waiting until her soul disappeared completely and she would not be able to enter reincarnation for eternal life.
Xiao Ning’s voice was also a little choked, “I’m sorry, Xiaomei; it’s me that hurt you…”
“No! Brother Ning, I have never regretted it. So what it is for a thousand years or even ten thousand years, I never regretted…”
Seeing the look on the two of them at the moment, Xiao Chen could not help but feel an ache in his heart. “So what if it a thousand years or even ten thousand years, some things, no matter how long time passes, it can’t be erased, even if everyone in the world opposes, that won’t stop it!”
Xiao Ning finally noticed him and asked, “Who are you?” Xiao Chen looked up and said, “I’m Xiao Chen…”
“Your surname is Xiao? Could you be…”
“This is hard to explain. After we go out, I’ll explain to you in detail.”
At this time, the Corpse Puppet had toppled all eight ancient Buddha statues. Xiao Chen immediately ordered it to crush the stone monument. Xiao Ning said, “No need, I can’t be trapped anymore without the eight ancient Buddha statues. Now, hurry up and get out of here!”
Su Xiaomei sobbed and said, “No, Brother Ning, I want to be with you…”
Xiao Ning shook his head and said, “When I break open the seal later, it will hurt you. Xiaomei, listen to me, and leave now…”
Before he finished speaking, the ground shook again. Many stones fell off, and Xiao Chen took back the Corpse Puppet and said, “Senior Su, let’s leave!” At this point, he had realized that Xiao Ning’s cultivation was definitely higher than Apotheosis Realm. If Gu Feng was already higher than Apotheosis Realm, how could he just be Apotheosis Realm?
Su Xiaomei sobbed again and was finally pulled out by Xiao Chen. As they got out of the tower, they saw the monks outside were in a state of panic. Gu Feng was still like a fighting machine, hounding onto Zen Master Quechen.
Suddenly, the Devil Repressed Tower shook again. This time, not only the tower was shaking, the entire Karmaless Mountain was shaking as well. Zen Master Quechen was in shock and exclaimed then, “This is bad!”
Suddenly, the entire tower shook violently. “WHOOSH!” A fierce force rushed out. Many monks in the vicinity were knocked off and flew out, and even Xiao Chen and his party almost flew off from the impact of this force as well.
Right after that, a loud boom was heard. The entrance of the first floor of the Devil Repressed Tower cracked open, and a figure rushed out. A powerful aura instantly filled the entire Zen Temple.
The wind was raging, that man’s clothes fluttered and his hair danced with the wind. His eyes were cold and made everyone was nervous.
“Brother Ning!” Su Xiaomei rushed over and wept bitterly on his shoulder. Xiao Ning held her in his arms, and his cold eyes swept over everyone like a sharp sword and finally stopped at Gu Feng’s face.
“Xiao Ning! You and I finally meet again!” Gu Feng was no longer hounding onto Zen Master Quechen, and his eyes were like two ice arrows, colliding with Xiao Ning’s eyes.
The monks were stunned. Xiao Ning was finally freed, but the Devil Repressed Tower and the entire Karmaless Mountain were still shaking, Zen Master Quechen’s face changed drastically, and he said hurriedly, “Seal the tower now!”
Just then, the terrifying voice from the ground appeared again, “Devil? Inner Demon? What is a Devil?”
