The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 881

Chapter 881: Chapter 878 Driven Insane Chapter 881: Chapter 878 Driven Insane Wei Qing stiffened, looking down at his lower abdomen to see a White Bone Sword deeply plunged into it, the hand holding the longsword's handle belonged to golden scales.

Blood gushed from his mouth, disbelievingly staring at the longsword pierced into his abdomen, then slowly raised his head.

Golden scales stared back calmly, but there was no trace of gentleness in his expression anymore. His eyes were extremely cold, as if regarding a stranger.

This sudden change shocked everyone present, who couldn't believe what they were seeing from golden scales.

Golden scales flicked his wrist, withdrawing the longsword swiftly. A fountain of blood shot forth from Wei Qing's belly, splashing several meters forward.

“Ah, spit, after faking such grace and goodness for so many years, it makes me want to vomit, and today it finally comes to an end!” golden scales flicked the fresh blood off the sword, saying so with great impatience.

Her voice was still the same, but her expression and the way she spoke had changed completely.

“It was your own choice to stay at Mount Putuo. If anyone's to blame for your bad luck, it's yourself,” demon wind said with a sinister chuckle.

The two's conversation, as if no one else was present, left everyone stunned, unsure of what was actually happening.

Shen Luo's gaze flickered, and he immediately took the Yangliu Branch back into the Heavenly Book Space and floated back, retreating to the altar. He sat down with his legs crossed within the Blue Array.

The situation was too strange; although he did not know what demon wind, golden scales, and the others were doing, he felt some sense of safety only upon returning to the altar.

Fairy Qinglian and the others were too shocked by what transpired below to pay any attention to Shen Luo.

Wei Qing had been stabbed in the Dantian and was severely injured. Barely able to stand, he staggered a couple of steps before falling to the ground.

“You are not golden scales. Why do I find my Appearance Fixing Pearl inside you? Who are you?” Wei Qing ignored the wound on his body, fixing his gaze dead on golden scales as he demanded to know.

“Me? I am golden scales, don't you believe it? Then let me share some things that only we know. The first time we met was at the northwest corner of the Golden Lotus Pond. That day, you were wearing a blue long robe with scattered flowers and offered Bailin Fruit as tribute, praying to the Bodhisattva; the second time we met, you gave me a piece of crystal jade; the third time, you bought me three mundane steamed buns…” golden scales chuckled, ticking off each event with her fingers.

At first, Wei Qing glared at golden scales, but the more he listened, the more his heart trembled, his expression becoming bewildered, his gaze increasingly vacant.

The many things golden scales mentioned were all known only to the two of them. Learning by stealth was a great taboo at Mount Putuo. Their every meeting was held in a hidden place. It was one thing for someone to know about one or two incidents, but the woman before him knew too much; it was no coincidence.

“How do you know all this? Are you really golden scales? But how could you… It's impossible! What in the world is going on?” Wei Qing shouted hoarsely, almost appearing mad.

“Idiot, can't you understand such a simple matter? The golden scales in your heart never existed; it was all my disguise! Pretending for so many decades, really, what a burdensome task.” golden scales lifted her hand to rub her shoulder, feigning weariness.

“Disguise…” Wei Qing stared blankly at golden scales.

“Golden scales, aren't you being hypocritical? That year, you, Green Moon Taoist Nun, oh, and Huang Tong Daoist, the three of you placed Soul-splitting Shadow Imprints inside this young man and his father. The agreement was to cultivate both of them, and whoever faced their tribulation first would use them. That Shepherd was a letdown, couldn't bear the Soul-splitting Shadow Imprint, died early, and you betrayed your promise. You faked your death first to plot against Green Moon Taoist Nun and then kicked Huang Tong Daoist out of the game, keeping this young man in your palm. Now, your Heavenly Tribulation is near, and he is almost ready. You must be quite pleased with yourself, putting on such an act for all to see,” demon wind stated blandly.

“Heh heh, demon wind is just demon wind, seeing right through everything at a glance,” golden scales laughed heartily.

Hearing this, everyone around them exchanged looks once again.

Shen Luo's eyes flickered. Just now, after hearing Wei Qing recount the past, he sensed many inconsistencies, especially with golden scales' odd reactions in several instances. So this was the story.

He looked at Wei Qing, with a flicker of pity flashing through his eyes.

For the golden scales, Wei Qing betrayed his Sect twice, spending his entire life striving for revenge; yet, from beginning to end, he was merely being used.

“No, why does the golden scales bring this up at this moment? If she wanted to use Wei Qing to fend off the Heavenly Tribulation for her, continuing to deceive him would be better, wouldn't it?” Shen Luo immediately realized something was amiss.

“So you've been lying to me all this time, my lifelong perseverance is nothing but a joke… haha… haha…” Wei Qing laughed tragically as he looked up to the sky, his voice filled with desolation.

Everyone present, upon hearing this tragic laugh, couldn't help but change their expressions.

Ma Xiuxiu slightly lowered her head, a hint of sigh passing through her eyes, but beside her, the demon wind and the golden scales showed no change in their expressions, quietly watching Wei Qing.

“The demon wind and the golden scales are both old and cunning, they would never do anything without aim. Yuan Qiu, can you guess their intentions with this move?” Shen Luo communicated with Yuan Qiu through divine soul.

“I also can't figure it out; looking at them, it seems like they want to drive Wei Qing mad,” Yuan Qiu shook his head as he spoke.

“Drive mad? Could it be they want to…” Shen Luo's body shook, and he activated his Xuan Yin Mystifying Pupil once more.

Wei Qing laughed tragically a couple of times, his body slowly falling backward, his eyes completely void of life, utterly devoid of vitality, clearly overwhelmed by heartbreak and disappointment, his divine wisdom completely shattered.

At that moment, the blood light from the blood bone on his forehead shone brightly and rapidly spread to other parts of his body.

In an instant, Wei Qing's entire head turned blood-red, presenting an exceptionally eerie sight.

Inside his mind, his divine soul, embodied as a tiny figure, was once again entangled by numerous blood silks, and that blood-colored shadow appeared again, attaching itself to Wei Qing's divine soul and swiftly invading inward.

Wei Qing's divine wisdom seemed to have completely collapsed, showing no resistance at all, with a large part of his divine soul quickly being tainted with the color of blood.

“So that's it, their goal has always been this! Fellow Cultivators, let's act together. The demon wind and the golden scales intend to break Wei Qing's spirit to allow the Demon Clan to completely take over his mind!” Shen Luo's expression drastically changed as he raised the Purple Gold Bell in his hand.

The other four, upon hearing Shen Luo's words and considering the situation at hand, immediately understood and their bodies lit up with various glowing lights.

Although taking action now would affect the operation of the Array, the situation was urgent, and they couldn't care about that much anymore.

At this moment, the golden Array on the altar's Stone Stele suddenly lit up, and the voice of Master Guan Yue echoed in everyone's minds. Their expressions immediately brightened, and they dispersed the light surrounding them, concentrating on operating the Great Five Elements Primordial Array.

Shen Luo too put down the Purple Gold Bell and closed his eyes to focus.

Below the altar, demon wind's face revealed great joy as he flipped his hand to produce a pitch-black bottle and flung it out. The bottle flew instantly above Wei Qing's head, with the bottle mouth immediately turning upside down.

With a “whoosh” sound, a stream of pitch-black liquid splashed down, turning into a vast cloud of black rain upon meeting the wind.

Although the black rain seemed to cover a broad area, it only enshrouded a small region around Wei Qing, with nearly all of the raindrops falling onto his body.

The black rain contained an incredibly dense Demonic Qi, and as soon as it touched Wei Qing's body, it merged into him.
