Chapter 136 It can only be mine!
Taoist Wuwei paid his respects to Cheng Huaixu and his wife as a junior, introduced himself and his group, and then roughly explained the purpose of his visit.
After listening to this, Cheng Huaixu hurriedly helped him up and let him sit down.
"Fellow Daoist Wuwei, there's no need to be so polite. My husband and I would like to thank you for taking care of our daughter over the years. Since you are our daughter's master, you should be considered as our peers."
Jian Qing also expressed her gratitude to Taoist Wuwei: "Thank you, Taoist Wuwei, for your guidance of my daughter."
As soon as Cheng Shuyan got into trouble, Master Wuwei and his group rushed to inform them and seek a solution. The Cheng couple could see clearly that Master Wuwei truly loved Cheng Shuyan.
Since Cheng Shuyan respected his master, the couple would naturally treat him with courtesy.
Cheng Huaixu returned to business. Although he was very worried about Cheng Shuyan's situation, he said helplessly:
"We already know the purpose of your visit. These are fellow Daoists from Xuanfeng Sect. When Mingshu was in danger, Xie Jingxiu, a disciple of Xuanfeng Sect, also fell into the space crack in order to save Mingshu.
Several fellow Daoists from Xuanfeng Sect have come here to do the same thing as you, but it's not easy to say, but it's not easy either."
"What do you mean, senior? Is it possible that even the Cheng family's bloodline technique cannot find Ah Yan?" Gu Qingzhou asked hurriedly.
Gu Qingzhou's behavior was actually a bit rude, but Cheng Huaixu and others knew that he was worried about Cheng Shuyan's safety, so he was rude, and they didn't mean to blame him.
"The Bloodline Compass can only be activated once every ten years, and each use period is a maximum of one year, after which its energy will be exhausted.
Three years ago, in search of Mingshu, I had already exhausted the energy of the Bloodline Compass. If I want to use it again, I have to wait at least... seven years."
Jian Qing's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help revealing her deep worry, but she could only explain truthfully.
Upon hearing this, the elder leading the Xuanfeng Sect also said anxiously, "If that's the case, then my nephew Jingxiu and my friend Mingshu will have to wait another seven years, right?"
"That won't work!" Master Wuwei said anxiously, "Is there any other way? Although Xiao Shuyan is not in any danger now, being trapped like this is not a solution. If any unknown danger arises again, how will these two Foundation Establishment cultivators deal with it?"
"Brother Li's concerns are exactly what my husband and I are worried about. Our only option now is to find a weapon refiner to see if he can solve the energy problem of the Bloodline Compass.
Unfortunately, the weapon refiner who originally forged the Bloodline Compass for my Cheng family has long since traveled the world and his whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise, if we could find him, we might be able to find a solution."
Gu Qingzhou stepped forward again and said to Cheng Huaixu, "If you don't mind, please let me take a look at the compass. Although I'm not very talented, I do know some techniques for refining equipment!"
Cheng Huaixu looked at him in surprise. He didn't think that a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could have any unique insights into the compass refined by Yuanying Zhenjun.
But considering his affection for his daughter, she agreed to his request and took out the compass and handed it to him.
The people from Xuanfeng Sect and Yinshi Sect were temporarily housed at the Cheng family's house. On the one hand, they were waiting for the Cheng family to find a weapon refiner, and on the other hand, they wanted to see if Gu Qingzhou could find a solution.
……
Cheng Shuyan's life nowadays can be said to be very exciting. She and Xie Jingxiu are trapped together. Neither of them can kill the other, and neither of them... dares to kill the other.
Many people knew that these two people fell into the space crack together. If they died at the hands of each other, Xuanfeng Sect and Cheng Family would definitely become enemies, and they could not afford such consequences.
There are many powerful methods in the world of immortal cultivation. Many powerful seniors will plant restrictions on their favorite nephews and grandchildren. Once they encounter a fatal threat, the final image will be transmitted back through the restriction.
The ancestor of the Cheng family planted such a restriction for her.
She believed that Xie Jingxiu must have it too.
Although the two of them are now in a space isolated from the outside world, no one dares to bet that they can get rid of the other without knowing it.
That's why Xie Jingxiu would have a small fight every two days and a big fight every three days. The two of them fought countless times, and each time they were bruised, but no one was killed.
Two years later, Cheng Shuyan's cultivation successfully reached the middle stage of foundation building, and so did Xie Jingxiu.
She has made up for the thirteen years she had fallen behind.
Now she and Xie Jingxiu are standing at the same starting point.
On this day, Cheng Shuyan had just finished his training as usual and was about to practice space magic, but suddenly he felt an unusual space fluctuation in the distance.
Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but be shocked. For two whole years, there was no third living creature in this space except her and Xie Jingxiu. Even if they fought to the death, there had never been any waves.
Such spatial fluctuations must mean that there is something wrong with the space here!
Could it be that the space crack has appeared again?
Cheng Shuyan felt delighted and quickly flew towards the place where the space was fluctuating.
Xie Jingxiu sat quietly at the other end of the space with his eyes closed, his face expressionless.
His hands resting on his knees with bulging veins revealed that he was not at peace inside.
For two years, there were only him and Cheng Shuyan in this space.
This was their alone time.
He should have been happy, even though Cheng Shuyan hated him.
Xie Jingxiu still remembered the flash of extreme hatred that crossed Cheng Shuyan's face when she saw him at Xuanfeng Gate. At that time, he clearly sensed the same demonic aura in her that was no different from his own.
Later, he confirmed Cheng Shuyan's identity, and this discovery made him extremely happy - Cheng Shuyan had a mental demon for him.
But gradually, in the past two years, he found that Cheng Shuyan became calmer and calmer when facing him.
She treated him like a stranger. When he provoked her, she would fight with him. When he didn't go, Cheng Shuyan seemed to not exist in this space.
Xie Jingxiu's inner demons became more and more serious. The pills he had to suppress his inner demons were originally enough for him to use for five years, but they were used up half a year ago.
Now he could only rely on his own perseverance to desperately suppress the inner demon that was about to devour him completely. Every time, he seemed to be walking on the edge of death.
Today, the inner demon is causing trouble.
There seemed to be two "Xie Jingxiu" in his mind talking to each other——
"Why are you torturing yourself like this? You are the only beloved one in this world, you should have everything you want! Accept me, and you can have her..."
"No! I've already hurt Yan once. She already hates me. I can't let her hate me even more!"
"You didn't hurt her! Xie Jingxiu, you were helping her... If you hadn't severed her worldly ties, how could she have achieved her current level of cultivation? I'm afraid you'd all still be struggling in the secular world, waiting for death to come..."
"No, Ah Yan cares about her family. If I hadn't killed them... yes... if it weren't for me, how could she have achieved her current status as a direct descendant of the Cheng family in Qinglan Mountain? She should be grateful to me..."
"Yes, she should be grateful to you. She can only belong to you... Xie Jingxiu, Cheng Shuyan is yours, only yours..."
Xie Jingxiu suddenly opened his eyes, and his fierce eyes seemed like a different person, no longer the Xie Jingxiu of the past.
