Chapter 653 So everyone has to die.
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, then pushed him away forcefully.
"Jiang Liqian!"
A sliver of white light, like ice and snow, suddenly appeared on the horizon and shot into the sky. The entrance to the outer realm's barrier shook violently, and the wind and clouds changed color.
Everyone present looked at this sudden turn of events. Jiang Yueming closed her eyes, her expression sorrowful, while Jiang Liqian was stunned and staggered to her knees on the ground.
She looked dazed, and after a long while, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Yueming, her eyes trembling with hope: "Master Zhai, Master is alright, isn't he? He's still here, isn't he?"
Jiang Yueming turned her head away, unable to bear it.
Jiang Liqian couldn't believe it; she couldn't accept this fact.
Before anyone could react, she rushed toward the entrance to the outer realm's barrier, only to find someone stumbling out and crashing into her arms.
Jiang Liqian's mind went blank for a moment, thinking that Qingzhi had returned, but when she looked down, she saw a blood-stained red dress.
She opened her mouth, and called out in a hoarse voice, "Junior Sister..."
Shen Qingqing raised her blood-covered face and gripped her arms tightly with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to embed herself into her flesh and bones.
"Senior Sister, save me, save me..."
Jiang Liqian was shocked and knelt down on the ground with her in her arms.
Shen Qingqing in her arms could no longer be called a complete "person". All the bones in her body were broken, her meridians were severed, her dantian was destroyed, her hands and feet were weak and powerless, and her whole body was like soft water. If she hadn't been holding her up, she would have already slid to the ground.
She could barely, almost couldn't feel her pulse anymore...
How could this be? Wasn't she the female protagonist of this world? Wasn't she blessed with the destiny of heaven? How could she be in such a terrible state? There was no way to save her...
"...I don't want to die, I don't want to die, Senior Sister..." Tears streamed down, washing away the blood on her face. Shen Qingqing's originally delicate and beautiful face was now twisted grotesquely by the shattered facial bones. She kept crying out, saying over and over that she didn't want to die, didn't want to die! But her life was like a flood, flowing irreversibly.
Jiang Liqian hated Shen Qingqing and wished she could kill her with a sword.
She raised her from barely reaching the height of a table leg to a graceful young woman. They weren't blood sisters, but their bond was stronger than that of blood sisters. She would give almost anything for her.
But in the end, she betrayed her so cruelly, even committing heinous acts, her hands stained with blood, treating human life as worthless as slaughtering dogs.
She was such a failure, raising such a person.
Even so, she never imagined that her daughter would die so tragically in her arms.
Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them...
"Junior Sister, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Jiang Liqian held her hand, and a large amount of spiritual energy was continuously sent into her body, trying to make her feel better and not be in so much pain.
Shen Qingqing felt the warm current flowing through her body, and her obsessive and crazed pupils paused, finally revealing a sliver of clarity. She stared blankly at Jiang Liqian above her, tears streaming down her face like a broken dam.
"Senior Sister..."
Jiang Li sniffed lightly, looked away from her moist, red eyes, and nodded: "Yes, I'm here."
Shen Qingqing's sluggish brain processed for a moment, and she slowly smiled, but now her innocent and lovely smile was gone, replaced by something comical and terrifying.
But Jiang Liqian didn't care.
Shen Qingqing didn't care.
"Senior Sister, so everyone has to die..."
"But I...I don't want to die..."
Jiang Liqian felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she forced back the tears in her eyes.
"...Junior Sister, why are you so fixated on this..."
"It's not wrong to live, but everything has its time. If you become too obsessed, you'll only harm yourself and others..."
And she'll protect her.
With her there, how could she let anything happen to her?
Why, why on earth, would she betray her?!
She massacred the city, she massacred the entire city... even if it was just a little harsher on her...
Knowing that she was truly not going to survive this time, Shen Qingqing looked blankly into Jiang Liqian's sorrowful eyes and loosened her grip on her arm.
"...I really envy you, Senior Sister. You can be a good person, you can be kind to everyone..."
She probably didn't know that the person she admired and loved most was her. How much she wanted to follow in her footsteps, to become like her, to go with her to the place of light, to be worshipped, respected, and treated as a god.
Suddenly, her eyes widened, her nails digging deep into Jiang Liqian's skin, veins bulging on her forehead. She stared at Jiang Liqian, her words becoming incoherent: "Heavenly Book, Senior...Senior Sister..."
"...System, yes, Demon Lord...I'm sorry..."
"I'm scared...Senior Sister, Senior Sister...I'm scared..."
Jiang Liqian cupped her face in her hands and couldn't help but call out anxiously, "Junior Sister, Junior Sister!"
The hand, with its veins bulging, suddenly slipped down.
Jiang Liqian hugged her and burst into tears.
Amidst mournful cries and the chilling wind, the barrier at the entrance to the Outer Realm erupted with blinding white light. Then, the barrier reformed and merged before their eyes, and several lines of icy, powerful sword characters slowly appeared in mid-air.
—The entrance to the Demon Realm has been sealed for three hundred years, awaiting future generations to slay the demon and save the world.
The writing disappeared, rushing towards the distant horizon, transforming into the swirling white snow that has remained unmelted for three hundred years outside the city walls.
Only a sliver of white light shot out from the entrance, piercing deep into the snow, bearing two powerful and sharp characters—Xue Qiong.
Jiang Liqian knelt on the ground, finally her sobs dried up.
-
Chen Huasheng stumbled over and saw Shen Qingqing, who had already lost all her life force. He knelt down and carefully held her in his arms.
He buried her with the rites due to a wife, and then disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Liqian locked herself in the cave where she first met Xu Youan, refusing to see anyone.
The Tianqian Sect was deathly silent.
Although the demons failed to cooperate with the demon lord disguised as a system to break the divine and demonic sealing formation, this angered them, especially since all their spies in various sects were exposed overnight, some punished, some killed, and some driven away... In their rage, the demons launched a fierce counterattack. Although the city was protected by the sword energy left behind by Immortal Venerable Qingzhi, the number of disciples killed or wounded every day was still considerable.
Following the sect leader's dying orders, Ji Huaiche personally escorted Elder Cao and the others to the execution platform to have their cultivation destroyed and expelled from the sect. After being repeatedly pleaded with by the peak masters and elders, he had no choice but to shamelessly go to see Jiang Liqian.
Standing outside the cave entrance, he hesitated for a long time, then sighed and said in a very soft voice, "Junior Sister Liqian, the anniversary of Junior Sister Lian'er and Junior Brother Beiyao's deaths is coming up soon. Let me go with you to visit them..."
