Chapter 43: First
The latest chapter after wearing a white moonlight stand-in!
As soon as Xiao Zongyuan died, Qiao Wan knew that he would not be able to go down the mountain today.
Throwing the sword to the ground, Qiao Wan looked up at the sword light that came down from the sky, and sighed.
In this sword light, a senior brother jumped down from the sword at the head. When he saw Xiao Zongyuan on the ground, he was shocked, "Elder!"
Several people jumped off their swords and hurriedly went to check on Xiao Zongyuan's situation.
Seeing Xiao Zongyuan lying on his back in a pool of blood, with blue veins protruding on his forehead, he couldn't rest his eyes. Seeing that, the disciple could not help but let out a thump in his heart, with a hint of fear.
Then look up at the initiator - Qiao Wan.
A string of blood spots splashed on her white face, but her expression was calm, and the demonic energy lingering around her body also dissipated little by little.
The disciple's heart sank, his throat rolled, and he said coldly, "Killing Elder Dingfa, you are so bold."
At this time, it was impossible to escape, and Qiao Wan did not resist any more, and let this group of Kunshan disciples take her back to the dungeon.
In view of the criminal record of escape from prison, this time, she was directly imprisoned in District A, and six disciples who held the precepts were sent to guard her day and night.
Qiao Wan killed Xiao Zongyuan, the crime was no trivial matter, the news spread all over Kunshan in the blink of an eye, and on the jade slip, the urgent report "Qiao Wan killed Xiao Zongyuan" instantly swept across the screen!
As long as the jade slip was opened, all that scrolled was Qiao Wan stabbed to death the fixed-father elder Xiao Zongyuan.
In the Hall of Appearances, Ma Huaizhen's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Sitting opposite Ma Huaizhen, Lu Bihan's face was the same ugly.
He didn't expect, really didn't expect that Qiao Wan was so courageous.
Although he didn't look down on Xiao Zongyuan, he really didn't expect Qiao Wan to dare to kill him.
This move, isn't this courting death? !
He was still running around for her, trying to commute her sentence, and as a result, news came that she had escaped from prison.
As a result, now, not only did he escape from prison, but he also stabbed Xiao Zongyuan to death!
Okay, after so many years, he has lost sight of it.
His hard work couldn't stop Qiao Wan from running wild on the road to death.
Ma Huai laughed angrily, "Look, look at what your junior sister did!"
He was so angry that he couldn't just watch her die, rubbing the wheelchair, Ma Huaizhen calmed down and thought slowly.
"I want to protect her." Lu Pi said coldly.
Ma Huaizhen asked in a deep voice, "Protect? How do you want to protect her?"
Although Lu Bihan can be called a Kunshan Senior Brother, he is still a sect disciple after all. There was no way to participate in the trial of the Discipline Hall a few days ago. I didn't expect that only a few days later, Qiao Wan made such a big surprise. .
Thinking about it, Lu Bihan's face was even colder, like a layer of frost, not only his face was ugly, his fingertips were shaking, blood was surging in his chest, he was shivering, bent over and coughed non-stop, the golden cicada print on his chest. It was hot, so hot that there was a sickly red on his face, which made his eyes even colder.
Lu Bihan took a deep breath, calmed down, and dropped a word coldly.
"Even if I risk my life, I will protect her."
The most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the precepts hall and the Xiao family first, and then slowly plot.
After all, Qiao Wan is Zhou Yan's apprentice, so it's not good to know Zhou Yan.
When she was locked in the dungeon, Qiao Wan regretted a little, and deeply regretted her scumbag nature for Mei Kangping, a cheap uncle, who was thrown away when he used up.
However, although she unilaterally cut off contact with Mei Kangping, as long as Mei Kangping needs him, he must still be monitoring the situation on her side.
Qiao Wan closed her eyes, leaned her head against the wall, and pressed her forehead against the cold Spirit-Controlling Wall, finally awake a lot.
She was really impulsive just now, and her infatuation did affect her sanity.
Even if she did it again, she did not regret killing Xiao Zongyuan.
The next day, the door of the cell was opened. When the six disciples holding the precepts at the door saw Qiao Wan, they put handcuffs and shackles on her again as if they were facing a great enemy. They took Qiao Wan out and put them on the the execution stand.
How to deal with it, the precepts hall is still discussing, but in order to prevent her from running again, the precepts hall has given an order this morning, and immediately take her to the execution platform and beat her to Fengyuan nail.
The execution platform of Kunshan is built on the Taixu Peak in the east. Taixu Peak is shaped like a sharp sword, with cliffs on three sides, and the cliffs are absolutely ravines.
In the battle between Demon Realm and Cultivation Realm, many monsters were executed on the execution platform, and the cracks on the floor tiles were all black. Of course, in addition to dealing with monsters, many rebels were also dealt with here.
The Kunshan disciples who came to watch the execution this time have broken through a new record in history. There are tens of thousands of Kunshan disciples standing under the platform. They looked up at Qiao Wan, who was imprisoned on the execution platform. Who is the warrior of the dead elders?
Just looking at Qiao Wan's light pink dress, no one would have thought that this delicate looking little girl could kill the Dingfa elder Xiao Zongyuan with one sword.
Qiao Wan glanced at him and saw several familiar figures in the crowd.
Gan Nan, Keats, Yuan Liu, Xiao Boyang, and Cheng Li were all present, as well as several Anbu disciples who entered the cave together.
Even Pei Chunzheng was there. The last time he was in the secret realm of mudstone, he was placed in front of him by a mine, and he was stabbed in the kidney by Qiao Wan. During this time, he has been recuperating in his cave.
Across the crowd, Qiao Wan glanced at him from a distance.
Seeing Pei Chunzheng again, Qiao Wan felt calm in her heart. From that illusion, she and Pei Chunzheng had nothing to do with each other.
But Pei Chunzheng didn't let her go, his eyes fell on her tightly, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
She stabbed Xiao Zongyuan, and the commotion was too big, and as a matter of course, it also spread to the exchange students of Dabeiya and Qingyang Academy.
Facing the worried gaze of the young man, Qiao Wan pulled her face and grinned to show consolation.
Gan Nan was stunned for a moment, and the anxious and worried expression on his face not only did not recede, but became stronger.
But Qiao Wan has withdrawn her gaze, no longer looking at anyone.
Qiao went to the execution platform in the evening. This time, he saw Lu Bihan and Ma Huaizhen, as well as Zhou Yan and Mu Xiaoxiao.
During this period of amnesia, Mu Xiaoxiao never left Zhou Yan.
The punishment about her came down a few days ago. For the sake of her being persuaded by Qiao Wan, she went to the Discipline Hall to receive fifty whips. After a few days of punishment, she returned to Yuqing Peak to retreat for three years.
The girl was still not healed from her injuries, her face was pale, standing beside Zhou Yan, she was pitiful.
Zhou Yan's demeanor is high, like Lang Yue in his arms, looking down at Qiao Wan.
Look at the apprentice in front of him.
Qiao Wan didn't change any clothes on her body, her face, cuffs, and hem were all covered with large black-brown bloodstains.
This is the blood of Xiao Zongyuan.
Zhou Yan's heart tightened, and suddenly, he didn't know how to face her.
He could only close his eyes and pause for a long time.
In the final analysis, there are also reasons why Qiao Wan has come to this point.
Thinking of Qiao Wan, Zhou Yan felt lost for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden sadness in his heart.
This time, Qiao Wan has pierced the sky.
The Xiao family sent someone to Kunshan overnight. Thinking of asking Kunshan to make friends, they forced Ma Huaizhen and others to press it down.
This execution was also done for the Xiao family, which showed that Kunshan had no intention of shielding him for personal gain.
For today's execution, the Xiao family will also send someone to be sentenced.
It was at this time that a huge shadow cast down the execution platform, obscuring the sun.
"This...this is..."
The people under the execution platform couldn't sit still.
This is the flying boat of the Xiao family.
A floating boat slowly descended from the sky and stopped in the air above the execution platform. The hull of the boat was meticulously decorated with cloud patterns, surrounded by a green double-petaled lotus pattern, which was the family crest of the Xiao family.
On the boat, the children of the Xiao family stood by the side of the boat, and their jackets were the wind.
This is the Xiao family, with descendants everywhere, the Xiao family that swept most of the resources in the comprehension world.
The Xiao family's flying boat also reflects the aggressive and high-profile style of doing things of the Xiao family today.
On both sides of the flying boat, Yu Jian cleared the way, and Xiaguang paved the way.
Seeing other Kunshan disciples who had no knowledge, they were stunned.
As soon as the boat ladder was put down, he slowly walked down from the flying boat, a man dressed as a middle-aged scribe, with a long beard under his jaw, red phoenix eyes, and a proud expression, accompanied by two pairs of four beautiful young men and women.
As soon as the middle-aged scribe got off the flying boat, several disciples welcomed them into the execution platform.
Ma Huaizhen sat in a wheelchair and quietly looked at the big ship of the Xiao family.
The middle-aged man jabbed his head at him and walked straight to Zhou Yan, "Really."
Zhou Yan also returned a salute, "Elder Xiao, the matter of your brother..."
This middle-aged man is Xiao Zongyuan's cousin, Xiao Xiuwen.
Xiao Xiuwen didn't wait for Zhou Yan to finish speaking, and glanced at Qiao Wan, "Is that her?"
Zhou Yan paused and sighed, "This is indeed the villain."
Xiao Xiuwen: "I wonder if the real person can let me have a few words with her?"
Several disciples who kept the precepts immediately escorted Qiao Wan over.
Xiao Xiuwen sat upright and glanced at her lightly, with no joy or anger in his eyes, "You killed my brother?"
Joe was silent.
Xiao Xiuwen didn't care too much, he pulled his face and sneered.
"So arrogant, the real person taught a good apprentice."
Zhou Yan closed his eyes, "Kneel down."
Joe was silent.
Zhou Yan suddenly opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and his tone became a little more serious, "Rebel! You still don't kneel down and apologize to Elder Xiao?!"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Xiuwen raised his hand slowly: "This is unnecessary, this forced apology is unwilling, unwilling, and someone can't bear it."
"Isn't the execution today?" Xiao Xiuwen said, "Since everyone is here, let's start now."
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Wan was dragged out by several disciples who held the precepts, and firmly pressed her limbs.
With a single order, several Fengyuan Nails moved towards the key points of the muscles and veins all over the body like shooting stars. Straight out!
Feng Yuan was nailed into his body, and in the blink of an eye, Qiao Wan was already lying on the ground like a dead dog, blood flowing down his limbs.
Half of Hong Yanyan's blood seeped into the cracks in the ground, flowing down to Xiao Xiuwen's feet.
Xiao Xiuwen tilted his feet and raised his eyes, "Is that so?"
"Kill my brother, your faction will give me such an explanation?!"
The blood also spread to the corner of Zhou Yan's robe, the white clothes were stained with blood, Zhou Yan was slightly absent-minded.
Xiao Xiuwen's phoenix eyes drooped down a little, and after a little thought, he turned his head and instructed the young men and women beside him.
The Xiao family youth stepped forward and held a tablet.
Xiao Xiuwen shook his sleeves and picked up the tablet, "This is my brother's tablet."
Lu Bihan asked lightly, "What does the elder mean by this."
Xiao Xiuwen: "My brother is dying, so let your apprentice kneel down, kowtow to my brother a few times, and apologize, isn't it too much?"
Only then did Zhou Yan look at Qiao Wan with a stern expression, "Kneel down!"
Seeing that Qiao Wan didn't respond, Zhou Yan closed his eyes and shouted angrily, "Kneel down!"
Clang.
The scabbard hit Qiao Wan's knees hard.
Qiao Wan swayed, gritted her teeth, and just didn't fall down.
Zhou Yan was ruthless and moved the scabbard again.
boom!
Qiao Wan shook her body, bent her left leg, and knelt down.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath, his fingertips trembled a little.
Otherwise, her life would not have been saved.
The scabbard was as heavy as a thousand pounds, pressing on the girl's back, forcing the girl's straight back to bend deeply.
Seeing that Qiao Wan's back was bent bit by bit, Lu Bihan suddenly stretched out his thin five fingers and grabbed it violently.
Zhou Yan looked at his big apprentice in shock.
"Master."
The scabbard was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and Lu Bihan's five fingers burst into blue veins, but the man's face did not show any superfluous expression, "Master, this is the end."
Seeing this, Xiao Xiuwen pulled the corners of his lips and sneered again, "I only let her kowtow to my brother a few times, and I won't take her life. Even if this is the case, the noble faction will not accept it."
"Let's say," Xiao Xiuwen raised his eyelids, "Your faction has to force my Xiao family to kill her."
"Brother."
Qiao Wan suddenly made a sound.
Lu Bihan turned his head slightly and glanced at her, only to realize that Qiao Wan's voice was very soft.
"Thank you, senior brother," Qiao Wan shook his head, "but senior brother, you don't need to offend the Xiao family for me."
Qiao Wan raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Xiuwen, "This head, I will kowtow."
Xiao Xiuwen raised his eyebrows.
People live in this world, and there are always some things that have to be compromised. The grievances and unwillingness can only be swallowed with teeth, tears, and blood. Being smashed over and over again, rolled into the mud again and again, it doesn't matter if the bones are broken and the flesh sticks to it, just get up slowly.
Today, she kowtowed this head.
Qiao Wan lowered her eyelashes, her eyes were very calm, but this calmness made people feel a chill in their hearts.
Xiao Xiuwen was inexplicably surprised, and immediately thought.
This person can't keep her, and over time, it will become a big problem.
But at this time, Qiao Wan had already bent her back, lowered her head, and banged her head three times at the tablet.
This was three real hits. After the kowtow, Qiao Wan saw red on her forehead.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Wan didn't stop after finishing knocking, and turned his knees to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's brows twitched, and for some reason, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly waved his sleeves to stop him.
Qiao Wan lay at his feet, "Boom"—
Another nod.
Zhou Yan's face was stunned, his blood was freezing, and there was a buzzing sound in his head.
At this time, he seemed to realize that Qiao Wan was actually very thin.
The skinny little girl at the time has grown into a slender girl in a blink of an eye.
It seemed that it was the first time he saw Qiao Wan.
Zhou Yan's figure swayed, and suddenly there was a feeling of being separated from the world.
From the beginning to the end, she was like a shadow hidden in the darkness, but at this time, she suddenly came out, and those bright eyes pierced Zhou Yan's eyes.
Looking at Qiao Wan's gaze, Zhou Yan's whole body was cold.
The girl tugged at her face, pursed her lips, and the blood on her forehead wet her eyelashes, falling drop by drop.
"Master."
The girl's cold voice echoed clearly on the execution platform.
The noisy execution platform suddenly quieted down.
Zhou Yan's throat twitched, looking at the girl in front of him, his heart twisted inexplicably, and panic, fear, uneasiness, and... remorse seemed to gradually spread all over his body.
It's too late.
It was as if a voice was saying that it was too late to undo all this.
Qiao Wan pulled out a self-deprecating smile, "I know, Master, the reason why you accepted me as your apprentice was because of Senior Sister."
The entire execution platform could hear the cranes fluttering and flying by.
"The disciple's aptitude is shallow and cannot be compared with Senior Sister Mu, but so many days and nights have come, and I have never slack off in this cultivation journey."
"On this point, the disciple believes that he has lived up to the expectations of the master and has a clear conscience."
When Qiao Wan was talking, she suddenly choked up.
Tears also fell, and fell to the ground rustling.
She gasped, gritted her teeth, and maintained her composure.
"But the disciple also knows that the so-called expectation is just the disciple's wishful thinking. Master, you have never had any expectations for the disciple, and you have never really looked at the disciple."
Qiao Wan raised her eyes, choked up, tears filled her whole face, and she looked very funny.
"Disciple... Disciple cultivates day and night, just hoping to have a place in Master's heart."
"I hope Master, you can also regard me as your real apprentice, a real person."
Zhou Yan's eyes widened in astonishment, his heart trembled like a giant hammer, his face was as pale as paper, and he took a few steps backwards before barely stabilizing his body.
Up to now, he didn't dare to look Qiao Wan's eyes directly.
It seems that you can see the past through these eyes.
Holding the little girl's hand, he stepped on the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of Kunshan step by step.
To worship Kunshan, you have to climb these steps by yourself. He stayed by her side, watching the little girl grit her teeth and climb up little by little, her legs were shaking, and she didn't scream tired.
In fact, during these long years, Qiao Wan seems to have acted coquettishly with him.
But what was he thinking at the time?
She looks too much like Xiaoxiao, too much like Mu Xiaoxiao.
He didn't want or dared to see Qiao Wan who looked like Mu Xiaoxiao.
From that day on, she understood.
She shouldn't do that, it's another girl's privilege, it will never belong to her, she occupies the magpie's nest, she should be content, and she shouldn't have any other ideas.
In this world, she has only one person. No one will help her on this road of seeking immortals. Maybe someone will help her along the way, but from beginning to end, she can only rely on herself.
"If it wasn't for you taking me to Kunshan at the beginning, at this time, the disciple is still with the loess at the foot of the mountain, living in a daze."
"Master's great kindness, the disciple has nothing to repay."
"But from today," Qiao Wan said in a deep voice, and kowtowed two more times, "This disciple is willing to abandon his cultivation and ask him to leave the mountain."
"This body of cultivation was taught to me by Master, you and Senior Brother."
Qiao Wan didn't see Lu Bihan, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust the spiritual energy in her body.
Zhou Yan's eyes were slightly opened, and he lost his voice, "What are you doing?!"
All the muscles and acupoints in her whole body were firmly sealed by Feng Yuan Nails, Qiao Wan's eyes widened, the light in her eyes exploded, and the air flow around her body was running fast! At the cost of self-destructive cultivation, he forcibly broke through the seals of Yuanyuan everywhere!
In the blink of an eye, the girl's veins ruptured, her realm rapidly falling, and she was no doubt a mortal.
Several Feng Yuan nails tinkled down at Zhou Yan's feet.
Zhou Yan looked at Qiao Wan, his throat rolled, and he couldn't say a word again.
While Qiao Wanqiqiao was bleeding, she respectfully kowtowed again, "This cultivation was bestowed by the master, and I will return it to the master today. From then on, the friendship between me and the master has ceased, and there is no longer any connection. ."
After speaking, he turned around and looked at Lu Bihan.
The man's eyes were like fire, staring at her, his face ashen, not sure if he was shocked or angry.
Qiao Wan dragged her tattered body and kowtowed three times to Lu Bihan.
"For so many years, you have been taking care of me, senior brother, teaching me to read and teach me swordsmanship."
"Although I asked to leave the school, senior brother," Qiao Wan pursed her lips, "you will always be my senior brother."
"Senior brother, I will definitely find a way to cure the restriction on your body."
It took a long time for Lu Bihan to say coldly, "You think I should thank you for this?"
Qiao Wan: "I want to thank you, brother."
"And seniors."
Qiao Wan said in a deep voice, "Thank you senior for your support over the years."
Ma Huaizhen's face was ashen.
Glancing over Mu Xiaoxiao, Qiao Wan pursed her lips and said nothing. After doing all this, she staggered up and walked slowly down the execution platform.
The girl's back is straight.
None of the tens of thousands of Kunshan disciples under the execution platform made a sound, and the entire execution platform fell into deadly silence, and no one dared to stop it.
But at this moment, Xiao Xiuwen suddenly broke the silence, "Wait a minute."
Qiao Wan turned around, his eyes were as cold as ice, but in his eyes, there seemed to be a flame.
A powerful, bright, tenacious light.
Looking at such a pair of eyes, Xiao Xiuwen was also a little lost, but soon, his arrogant color was restored.
"Just kowtow three times, do you think you can change my brother's life?"
This person can't keep her.
Xiao Xiuwen stared at Qiao Wan with a burning gaze.
Weeds must be eradicated, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.
Qiao Wan: "What else do the elders want to do?"
Xiao Xiuwen sneered, "Naturally—"
"Natural what?"
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly, two servants, a man and a woman, beside Xiao Xiuwen suddenly attacked! A sharp sword slipped out of his sleeve and slid across the front of Xiao Xiuwen's neck.
The other has a distorted figure, standing tall and tall, and a handsome outline gradually emerges from his delicate facial features, turning into a young demon general.
At the same time, the cloud pattern painted on the Xiao family's flying boat suddenly seemed to come to life, rolling violently, and a thick black mist spewed out!
Demonic energy swept in, and all the Xiao family disciples who were standing by the side of the boat fell from the air like dumplings.
"Magic!"
"It's magic!"
The crowd turned pale in shock, and watched in awe as the black fog rolled more and more and thicker, like a distorted dark cloud in the sky, occupying half of the sky.
The demonic energy gradually twisted into shape, and with a long whistle, a strange bird shaped like an owl with four eyes on a human face suddenly emerged from the black fog.
Followed by the strange bird, a strange cow with black fur emerged from the black fog, dragging a black lacquer on the bottom, with a gold peony pattern on the Baogai incense cart.
The group of demons guarded the incense cart with great momentum.
Everyone present, anyone with a little knowledge, looked at the empty hull again, and all of them changed their faces!
This is magic!
It is Mei Kangping's ability to paint with life and soul!
Mei Kangping is here? How could he come here? ! Where is Mei Comping? !
Wherever the demonic energy passed, all the grasses withered, and the demonic flames were soaring to the sky. Whenever a little bit of the skin was touched, it was all hot and unbearable.
Qiao Wan was standing in front of the steps, and the monstrous demonic flames swept over her like a huge wave!
"Qiao Wan!" Ma Huaizhen and Lu Bihan's expressions changed suddenly, and they shouted angrily.
Joe didn't move.
The surroundings were quiet.
At this moment, tens of thousands of disciples in Kunshan stared blankly as the black flame licked the corner of the girl's skirt.
But the restless, murderous magic flames, as soon as they approached Qiao Wan, suddenly quieted down and hovered in front of Qiao Wan.
Seeing with his own eyes the noble disciples of the Xiao family fell into the flying boat without any grace, Xiao Xiuwen showed fear and sweated like rain.
He had personally experienced that battle between good and evil.
The soul is drawn into the painting, that is Mei Kangping...
Doesn't it mean that the Demon Domain's vitality is severely damaged now?
When did these monsters enter the Xiao family's floating boat, and why did they suddenly appear in Kunshan?
But all this will soon have an answer.
Xiao Xiuwen looked at the young demon general in horror, holding a capital gun horizontally, and suddenly knelt down towards Qiao Wan.
Xiqu dragged the incense cart to Qiao Wan.
The mist lingered on the wheel hub, the golden bells in front of the car swayed, the icicle mist hanging on the four sides of the car fluttered gently, and the gold-encrusted magic patterns snaked up around the car body.
The young demon general stretched out a hand, opened the curtain of the car, and said solemnly, "The last general Xue Yun mocked, and at the order of Mr. Mei, I welcome Di Ji back to the Demon Realm."
The black mist continued to twist, and a figure was spewed out again.
The purple magic pattern in the corner of the man's eyes was bewitching and mysterious, and the folding fan shook lightly.
Mei Kangping glanced at Qiao Wan, who was being guarded by the magic flames, and then looked at Xiao Xiuwen, who was terrified. He pulled the corners of his lips and sneered, "It's up to you to kowtow to you? Also see You two brothers can't afford it!"
"I just knocked here a few times, and here today, I will knock them back one by one."
