My enemies became my companions

Chapter 563 Taiyi (Two in One)

It was pitch black all around, even the halo of the torches seemed dim.

Neither the White Lotus Sect nor the Dragon and Tiger Taoists wasted too much time. They swiftly used their souls to cross the lake one by one, and then worked together to perform magic to bring their bodies back.

The whole process was stable and smooth, no one accidentally fell into the water, and the souls did cross the lake, which shows that what the White Lotus Sect said was true.

Yin Weiying subconsciously took a step closer, but saw that the lake surface was as crystal clear as a mirror, but it looked like molten iron, without a single ripple.

The clear lake water reflected her, that was the appearance of Miss Donggong. Even Yin Weiying had to admit that although this stupid girl's brain was not very good, she was not much inferior in appearance... Of course, she could not win, and considering all things considered, she was the winner.

Yin Weiying suppressed his thoughts and took another look at the souls floating in the lake. Now was not the time to worry about who would win.

If she fails to handle it properly, not only will her ability to get out of bed or her ability to absorb energy be affected, but even her status as the eldest lady will be in name only!
Yin Weiying clenched his fists unconsciously and his breathing became increasingly rapid.

There was a sudden tap on my shoulder.

Her heart almost stopped, and Chen Yi's voice fell into her ears: "We are almost there, don't be afraid."

The voice was exceptionally gentle and reassuring, and for a moment Yin Weiying had the urge to confess everything and beg for mercy in person.

If I surrender, I will lose half. With Xiao Yin's persuasion, I can get a discount and only lose one-quarter. It will be over in no time...

However, when she caught a hint of fear in Chen Yi's gentle eyes, Yin Weiying's thoughts were instantly dispelled. On such a major issue, she would not surrender.

After all, if Chen Yi hadn't been afraid of what was hidden in this body, many of his plans would have changed long ago. And to put it bluntly, this move of hers was just another act of sabotage behind the scenes.

Yin Weiying gritted his teeth in hatred. Why was he so at odds with Donggong Ruoshu? Hehuan Sect was her, Shantong City was also her. Even now, when people were dead, this dead Donggong could still scare away the living goddess.

No matter how clever your methods are, if you are careless with the East Palace, you will end up with the opposite result.

In the field of vision, people in the distance had already landed safely, their souls having returned to their bodies. This gave everyone great encouragement, and their actions unknowingly quickened, just like the incense in a temple, which would burn faster when it reaches the middle section.

A drop of cold sweat slid down Yin Weiying's forehead.

It is impossible to retreat or advance, it is a desperate situation...how can I survive?
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and silently stepped back half a body.

In this way, even if three scarlet tentacles suddenly exploded from her head and slapped him, he would have time to react.

They had been together for some time and were familiar with each other, but with the old saint's warning and the strange situation, Chen Yi never let down his guard.

Having lived two lives as a human, we have more or less heard and seen many ups and downs in the world. Don't think that just because two people have a very good relationship, they can be unreserved. The most difficult person to guard against in this world is the person beside you. For example, there is a monster called Painted Skin, who often shows himself as a beautiful person, deceives the heroes of the world and the scholars who sleep homelessly. He blows out the red candles and draws the curtains, and indulges in pleasure for a while, but eats the person until nothing is left of him the next morning.

Chen Yi has killed many demons and even seen the corpses of those killed by Painted Skin. The more lustful a person is, the more vigilant he will be about this, as if he is sitting on a thorn in his back. Only those who claim to be upright and noble are the most likely to lose control of their true nature.

I wonder what kind of monster is hiding in this beautiful body?

Chen Yi silently moved his hand towards the hilt of the knife.

Time passed by bit by bit, and Dong Gong Ruoshu stood stiffly and motionlessly. The feeling in the short space of just a few feet became increasingly eerie.

Chen Yi glanced at the shore. Many people had already landed on the other side, and only half of the people on this side were left, including Qing Yuan. It was getting closer.

So he stepped forward and said, "It's our turn. Get ready..."

The words have not yet fallen.

"pain……"

"what?"

“It hurts so much…”

Her body began to tremble. At first it was just a slight tremor, but after a breath or two her hands began to tremble violently. She pressed her hands on her head, and in an instant, it seemed as if countless things flooded into her mind.

Chen Yi's brows furrowed instantly, and his hand was on the hilt of the knife.

"It hurts... there is a sound...

Before Chen Yi's blade was fully unsheathed, Donggong Ruoshu suddenly staggered back two steps, as if suffering from heart-wrenching pain. Her eyes gradually became blurred and the voice in her throat became more hoarse.

She seemed to have a splitting headache.

Chen Yi's breathing was tense. Just as he was about to reach out to support her, he heard her scream that almost pierced his eardrums.
"there's noise!"

sound?

Chen Yi's nerves were tense and his back was slightly arched, but even though he was very sensitive to sounds, he couldn't hear any unusual sounds.

Where did the sound come from?

The people on the shore noticed something strange here, stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

The words at this moment stirred people's hearts, and the quiet environment gave people a creepy feeling, making their scalps tingle and a chill run down their spines.

Chen Yi did not act rashly. The eyes of the others were trembling, and no one dared to act rashly. Some people were already trembling slightly, which is a person's instinctive reaction when facing imminent danger.

"That…"

After a long while, broken syllables came out of her throat, and she turned around suddenly.
"There! Someone is calling me!"

The next moment, before anyone could react, she rushed over with a reckless attitude.

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then started to chase.

Donggong Ruoshu was originally a fourth-grade martial artist with extremely explosive power. Combined with his lightness skills, he was able to open up a considerable distance in a short moment. Chen Yi hurried to chase him, but suddenly a strong wind blew up, pulling him back desperately, slowing down his pace for a moment, and when he looked up again, the distance between them had widened a lot.

Stepping on the clouds at the top, after three steps, Chen Yi's body shot out like a long black lightning.

The Dragon and Tiger Taoists and the White Lotus Sect looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Yi, who had just been seen again, had disappeared again. No one could figure out what was going on. Zhao Hun was still thinking about how to respond when a Taoist priest immediately chased after him.

"Chase!"

It was Qing Yuan. She took the first step and then several Taoists hurriedly followed, not giving people much time to think.

In an instant, Qing Yuan had gone far away with the crowd, and she followed closely in Chen Yi's footsteps.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, from the moment Donggong Ruoshu appeared, Qing Yuan instinctively felt that something was wrong with her.

It’s not like I haven’t seen what kind of person Donggong Ruoshu is. That silly girl is like a ball of living fire that never dies down. She gives people a festive feeling wherever she goes. But the Donggong Ruoshu in front of me... is too shy.

It's not that I care too much about it, but I have to be careful in this dangerous White Tower. By the way, I think this is exactly the type of person that the traitor has his eyes on.

Tsk, my thoughts are mixed again... Qing Yuan frowned slightly.

When she looked up again, Donggong Ruoshu's figure was getting closer and closer, but there was still a distance to catch up. Yin Weiying controlled Donggong Ruoshu's body, and her movements were like a ghost. She was shocked to find that this body was so powerful that even her magic was enhanced, as if it was assisted by God, as if it was created for her.

Feeling the pressure from behind getting closer and closer, Yin Weiying didn't even bother to look, but ran as fast as he could!

If you don't run, it will be too late.

If Chen Yi really finds out what's going on, even if he doesn't care about it due to his own actions, he will just be pretending to be nice, as there's no guarantee that he won't bring up the past one day.

As she ran wildly, she quickly glanced sideways at the hexagram on her fingertips.

It was a desperate situation, but fortunately she was quick-witted and fooled everyone by pretending that an unknown entity was about to awaken its true form. A cautious person like Chen Yi would be even more cautious.

Rather than chasing her to death, it would be more accurate to say that Chen Yi was trying to catch up with her to find out what was going on, or to see where she was going.

Yin Weiying secretly calculated a fortune. Since she was so accurate in fortune-telling in this body, it might be possible to calculate another path.

There were gusts of wind in the corridor, and the strong wind gushed out like sword energy, causing smoke and dust to rise. Chen Yi pushed it away with one hand and took another step.

The road under his feet seemed to collapse in an instant, and in an instant Chen Yi had shortened the distance.

Chen Yi really wanted to see where Donggong Ruoshu was going to run to.

At that time, he screamed "It hurts so much", and it looked like something was about to burst out, so I had to chase him to the end.

As we went deeper, a thin mist suddenly appeared in the dark space.

Chen Yi's footsteps suddenly hesitated. In the lake of his heart, the residual souls that were trapped by the sword world seemed to be stimulated by something and tried their best to rush out.

What's the reason... Before he could think about it, Chen Yi saw the person moving away and followed him.

Don't ask the reason first, just see where she is going.

Yin Weiying didn't know where he was going.

She knew nothing about the White Tower and the only thing she could rely on was the hexagram in her hand.

No matter what, since I am in this body with divine help, the hexagrams probably won't lie.

The cave in front of him became deeper and deeper, and the road became more tortuous and bizarre. Yin Weiying came out of the fog and ran forward without stopping.

Chen Yi used the sword intent to suppress the restlessness of the remaining soul in the lake of his heart. Suddenly, he heard the old saint say "Huh" beside his ear.

Before Chen Yi could even ask "what's wrong?", the old saint said:
"These remaining souls...are they...afraid?"

fear?

Chen Yi couldn't help but be surprised. This remnant soul had been suppressed in the tower by Longhu Mountain for two thousand years. After countless generations, only the hatred remained fresh. The barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes, so what is there that is so terrifying that they rush out desperately.

Could it be that... they don’t want to die here with me?
Suddenly, as if a flash of inspiration appeared, the wind in front of him changed suddenly, and an invisible sword light pierced straight into his forehead!

Chen Yi pulled his body suddenly, then stretched out his hand and grabbed. The sword intent enveloped the world and wrapped it up in an instant. At the moment of contact, a recoil struck.

Very strong.

But in terms of speed, it is already above the fourth level. In addition, its body is an invisible and traceless residual spirit, making it extremely difficult to deal with it.

Although it was not to the point where he could not deal with it, Chen Yi still frowned slightly. He glanced to the side and saw Donggong Ruoshu's figure running farther and farther away, with an unobstructed journey. It was a good show that the remaining spirits of the gods did not notice her at all, or... they were welcoming her arrival.

What is ahead?
As the thought flashed through his mind, another remnant spirit pounced upon him.

...............

The gale gradually died down, and the clothes no longer bulged like a circle.

Yin Weiying took two breaths. Has she... arrived?

Where's Chen Yi? Hasn't he caught up yet?

Yin Weiying quickly calculated her fortune and found out that he would be fine, just his pace would be a little slower. She breathed a sigh of relief. If anything happened to him, she would rather the truth be revealed.

At this moment, she finally raised her head and looked at the scene in front of her.

There were nine huge bronze pillars standing in front of him, arranged in the shape of a nine-square grid, surrounded by faint green phosphorescent light, but they seemed to have no malicious intent.

This seems like... a palace.

To be precise, it was a ruined palace. Everywhere you looked were broken walls, cracked walls, and broken bricks and tiles. Yin Weiying took a step forward and almost tripped. He looked down and found that it was a fragment of a tortoise shell.

She picked it up and took a closer look. The crooked words on it were difficult to read and even more difficult to see clearly. She looked around and saw that the ground was covered with fragments of tortoise shells, each of which was engraved with tiny words. Dark red cinnabar seeped between the handwriting, as if it had been repeatedly traced with blood for thousands of years. In the distance, the raised and twisted taotie patterns on the palace pillars looked like living things wriggling in the dim green phosphorous fire.

Where exactly is this place?

At the same time, there was a faint rustling sound. Yin Weiying initially thought that Chen Yi was approaching, but when he listened carefully...

Is there really a sound?!
Yin Weiying was shocked. After the divination, he turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

It seemed to come from the depths of the palace. It sounded ancient and grand, yet seemed a little clumsy and stiff.

Like singing?

Yin Weiying was full of doubts, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. She inexplicably felt the urge to go and take a look, and she involuntarily moved closer slowly, step by step, and suddenly strange phenomena appeared around her.

The scene was somewhat unreal, as if she was walking on a road. In the hazy mist on both sides, figures floated by and emerged from the tortoise shells on the ground.

Thirty people were dancing around a giant tree that was nearly as tall as the sky, with roots hanging down from it. An ancient corpse was tied to each of the roots.

Some have three heads and six arms but green faces and fangs; some have hoopoes and leopard tails like the Queen Mother of the West; some are Chu witch gods holding snakes and dragons; some have seven skulls kneeling at their feet...

Yin Weiying couldn't help but breathe heavily. As she got closer,

The sound from deep inside seemed to pause for a moment.

Only then did she see that the palace door was not closed tightly, but left a very deep gap.

An eye, peering from deeper than the depths.

He was staring at her.
A voice that sounded like a call rang out beside my ears, vicissitudes and grand...

"Taiyi..."
