After Deceiving Shizun into Dual Cultivating, I Ran Away With His Bun 73p2

Chapter 73 Part 2

That sounds great!
“Exchange!”
The System seemed to be afraid that Lin Queli would faint again in the next second and reacted extremely quickly. The next moment, Lin Queli saw himself floating in the air without a physical body.
Ah, this.
It’s quite a special experience…
Helan Xue was also stunned. He looked at the “unconscious” Lin Queli with some confusion, as if surprised by the speed of the spell.
He thought for a moment, then looked up at the space above Lin Queli’s body as if he had sensed something.
In the eyes of a mortal, there was nothing there.
But for an immortal, it was not so.
Helan Xue closed his eyes to sense it, and then he guessed it. He shook his head. “A’Li, be careful.”
“Okay!” Although he didn’t know if Helan Xue could see it, Lin Queli still nodded vigorously.
Then he “floated” to Lin Luo’s side and used a spell he had temporarily exchanged from the System to interfere.
“Swoosh—!”
Lin Luo was hit on the shoulder. He tilted his head in confusion. It was this subtle flaw that gave Helan Liyu a chance to stab at his lower body and take off one of his legs!
But Lin Luo was already unconscious now. This only restricted his movements and had no other effect. He only retaliated with even more anger.
The dark thunder in the sky did not stop, and the two on the ground went back and forth.
With the help of Lin Queli and Helan Xue, Helan Liyu managed to fight to a draw with Lin Luo.
In fact, Helan Liyu was getting a better feel for it and gradually figured out Lin Luo’s moves. The balance gradually tilted in his favor.
Lin Luo was interfered with by Lin Queli countless times. He seemed to have guessed something, but he couldn’t do anything to the intangible Lin Queli.
Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, Lin Luo let out a strange cry.
“Hehe… heh…”
Lin Luo twitched, and a faint green light emerged from his body.
The next moment, he… exploded.
This was to perish together!
First, his eyes were bloodshot, then he bled from his seven orifices. Then Helan Liyu only felt a wave of strange qi rushing towards him.
Lin Queli stood behind him, also stunned.
In an instant, he even thought of the “inevitable” in the original novel.
Could it be that the Long Aotian’s fate of being seriously injured by Feng Jiancheng in the grand competition was still unavoidable?
Whoosh—
At the critical moment, a huge… wing appeared before Helan Liyu.
After the wing spread, it formed a natural barrier, blocking all the strange qi.
The white wing was immediately polluted by the strange qi, and its feathers also turned black. After this blow, he could no longer support himself and fell to the ground with a crash, losing consciousness.
“A’He!” Helan Liyu’s eyes widened, his tone rarely excited.
Rumble—!
Helan Liyu didn’t know where the strength came from, but he felt a wave of heat in his dantian, and a full amount of spiritual energy was about to burst out of his body, rushing out impatiently.
Helan Liyu’s eyes were red. He raised his sword and leaped up, stabbing at Lin Luo—
At the same time, Helan Xue completed the most crucial step, and the spell was formed.
Helan Xue immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and threw an ice blade at Lin Luo with Helan Liyu!

…
…

Drip.
Drip…
After regaining consciousness, Lin Queli felt raindrops falling on his face, making his eyelashes tremble.
Lin Queli opened his eyes and first saw Helan Xue.
He was held in Helan Xue’s arms, leaning against his lap and half-lying on the stone slab.
It was raining lightly around them.
The Myriad Sword Mountain was covered in snow all year round. It was the first time it had rained in a thousand years, which was rare.
The thunder formation had finally ended.
Lin Queli looked down. He had already returned to the Demon Lord’s body, but his original body had completely dissipated.
Helan Xue lowered his eyes and stroked Lin Queli’s features.
After returning to this body, the Demon Lord’s appearance had changed once again.
At this moment, this body no longer had a trace of Lin Luo, only eight parts of Lin Queli’s own features and two parts of the Demon Lord’s charm. The combination was so captivating that one couldn’t take their eyes off him.
Helan Xue knew that this was not a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder, but that his A’Li had become even more beautiful after his transformation and rebirth.
His spiritual energy had returned, and his soul was complete. At this moment, Lin Queli was radiant. Every strand of his hair was filled with spiritual energy. Even though his whole body was soaked by the rain, it could not be hidden.
“Where’s A’Xue…” Lin Queli immediately propped himself up.
Helan Liyu was on the side, transferring spiritual energy to his crane.
Fortunately, the crane was a spirit beast after all. Although this blow had injured him seriously, it was not life-threatening.
After Helan Liyu transferred spiritual energy to him and he had recovered a bit of his life force, the crane weakly pecked at Helan Liyu’s head, as if it were extremely angry.
“Aiyo!” Helan Liyu held his head. Before he could react, the crane had angrily hidden in the formation to heal.
“A’Xue!!”
At the same time, Lin Queli rushed down from the stone platform and held him in his arms.
“That’s great. You scared me to death…!” Lin Queli breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness for the crane…”
Sob, sob, sob, can I feed the crane some small biscuits!
“Little daddy, you also scared me to death…” Helan Liyu’s eyes were red. “Thank goodness you’re okay.”
That’s right…
Lin Queli recalled the strange change just now and also felt a lingering fear.
Helan Xue walked over and held the two in his arms.
The three held each other tightly. The rain fell on their shoulders, soaking their clothes and the surroundings. But at this moment, no one cared about the rain, only a heart full of relief.
Helan Xue also completely relaxed.
After this calamity, his A’Li had truly returned.
From now on, nothing could separate them.
Just then, another sound of thunder came from the sky.
Lin Queli looked up doubtfully. “Huh? What is it this time?”
Helan Xue chuckled. “Don’t be afraid. It’s just a tribulation. A’Xue has just broken through again.”
“Huh?!”
Lin Queli was speechless. As expected of a Long Aotian…
But Helan Liyu had broken through. With his mid-stage Golden Core and Helan Xue’s divine power, Lin Luo probably couldn’t have survived, right? He should be completely dead, right?
Lin Queli was really scared. He had to personally confirm that he was dead.
Helan Liyu sat down in the center of the stone slab and held his breath, waiting for the thunder tribulation. Lin Queli and Helan Xue went to check Lin Luo’s corpse.
Helan Xue checked the condition of this body and was horrified.
It seemed that Feng Jiancheng had not been a willing sacrifice, otherwise he would not have resisted so much that his body was so broken. And Lin Luo had not been a willing possessor, otherwise the soul in Feng Jiancheng’s body would not have been so shattered and incomplete.
This was why the person before him looked like a ghoul.
Helan Xue pondered.
Back then, it was the Radiant Church who knew about the Demon Clan’s situation and had colluded with them.
Could it be… Feng Kang and the Radiant Church had imprisoned Lin Luo and killed him to refine him into a ghoul?
After all, it was not easy to refine a living person into a ghoul. First, the person had to have a deep obsession, resentment, and grief. Lin Luo was the best “material.”
But this was a forbidden art that violated human ethics. Even if a person’s obsession was so deep, it was not enough to transform into a fierce ghost. Therefore, the Radiant Church had to use all means to torture and kill Lin Luo, cutting him into a thousand pieces, to cultivate a ghoul.
This… was no longer a simple violation of human ethics. It could be said to be insane.
Their purpose in doing this… was it just to let Lin Luo possess Feng Jiancheng so that the Radiant Church’s strength would greatly increase?
Madmen.
Helan Xue sighed.
Lin Queli asked, “Is this Lin Luo really dead?”
“Mmm.” Helan Xue nodded.
“It’s all over.”

…
…

Half a month later, Helan Xue and Lin Queli went to Changming Mountain.
After Feng Jiancheng died, the Myriad Sword Sect interrogated the Radiant Church and Feng Kang and learned that they had indeed kidnapped Lin Luo back then and had also taken Ming Zhen’s body to threaten Lin Luo into submission.
Helan Xue beheaded Feng Kang and several masterminds in public. The other members of the Radiant Church who were involved were thrown into prison and became slaves for life. He also brought back Ming Zhen’s body from the Radiant Church and sent it to Changming Mountain with Lin Luo’s.
In the back mountain of Changming, there was a beautiful and quiet grassy slope where countless ancestors of the Changming Clan were buried.
The grassy slope was covered with flowers, which were now dancing in the wind.
Lin Queli stood before two tombstones. He saw Helan Xue offer incense to his friend, then add a cup of wine and spill it before Ming Zhen’s tomb.
After a pause, Lin Queli still asked curiously, “Shizun, we buried Immortal Lord Changming and Lin Luo in the same place. Will Immortal Lord Changming be unhappy?”
Helan Xue shook his head. “No. Ming Zhen’s favorite was this disciple of his when he was alive. Based on my understanding of him, he would want me to do this.”
Lin Luo’s experience this time—being tortured and killed by someone, and being insulted for decades—could be considered to have offset his previous sin of colluding with the Demon Clan and harming many common people. As for the rest… let Ming Zhen and Lin Luo handle it themselves.
Helan Xue looked at the two tombstones, which were not far apart, and shook his head again.
It was also fate.
“Shizun…” Lin Queli’s thoughts wandered. “I want to be buried with you after I die! Shizun shouldn’t mind being buried with me, right?”
But for a master of Taxue Xianzun’s level, once the coffin was closed, it could not be opened again. Then when Helan Xue died, Lin Queli would also have to die with him to be buried together.
Helan Xue frowned.
Lin Queli chuckled, stepped forward, and hugged Helan Xue’s arm, swinging it and acting cute. “Shizun, you have to live a long time… but my cultivation is not high, so I probably won’t live very long. I can live with Shizun and die with Shizun!”
Lin Queli said these words, but his face was very happy.
Helan Xue held his hand and stopped him. “I have already lived for thousands of years. You are different. You are still young. You…”
Lin Queli interrupted, “Aiya, Shizun, you don’t know. In my hometown, everyone can only live for an average of 100 years. Someone like me who stays up all night every day might not even live to 80. To be able to stay with Shizun for over a hundred years here, I feel that I am already very lucky and very happy.”
Lin Queli lowered his head and said softly with his eyes lowered, “I feel like I’ve made a huge profit even if it’s just ten or twenty more years, so Shizun, please don’t leave me, okay?”
He was as good at acting cute as ever. Now that he knew his Shizun would dote on him, he was even more unrestrained.
Helan Xue held Lin Queli tightly, holding this small person in his arms, precious and solemn.
“I will cherish every year and every age I spend with you.”
The wind arrived before the snow. The two’s clothes were blown by the wind. As they held hands and went down the mountain, they saw snowflakes falling from the sky, and soon a thin layer of snow had accumulated on their shoulders.
Winter had arrived.
For the rest of their lives, they would still watch the snow together for many years, until their hair turned white.
