Chapter 42: The Price of Decision

The warm red aura overflowed from the peach tree in front of him, and they wrapped around Chu Qingxiao's body.

Judging from the posture, it seems that he wants to enter Chu Qingxiao's body.

They are the remaining divine power of the old Taoist priest, and are used to seal the Zhuyin divine blood in Chu Qingxiao's body.

During the long years of being imprisoned by Zhuyin, no matter what miserable situation he was in, the old Taoist priest tried his best to retain this touch of divine power.

He was waiting for Chu Qingxiao's arrival to give this divine power to seal the Zhuyin divine blood in the young man's body.

He had waited a long time and experienced a lot for this moment.

Whether it is the tempering of the dim flames of the candle, or the erosion of endless evil spirits.

He carried it all in one breath.

He was fully prepared for this.

He had already calculated that no matter how loose the seal in Chu Qingxiao's body was, the remaining divine power would be enough to strengthen the seal again.

Logically speaking, after reaching this point, everything should fall into place.

But those red auras with divinity and faint golden light just surrounded Chu Qingxiao and could never flow into his body.

On the contrary, faint waves of black energy began to leak out of Chu Qingxiao's body.

The surge of this aura made the black dragon on the dome even more excited, and the blood in his eyes became even more intense. Those severed black tentacles circled around the barrier again, and they circled the barrier randomly.

They dance like hungry beasts, waiting for the prey that is about to enter their mouths.

Chu Zhaozhao also noticed something strange. She first looked at the people lying on the ground wailing, and then looked at Chu Qingxiao.

At this moment, the young man's eyes were empty and his upper and lower lips were trembling, as if he was in a terrible nightmare.

"Chu Qingxiao!? What's wrong with you?"

Chu Zhaozhao asked anxiously.

Chu Qingxiao, who was in a strange state, could not answer her questions. On the contrary, as more and more black energy leaked out from his body, the red aura with divine power that lingered around him began to be dissipated.

The overflowing black energy surged in the barrier, and tiny cracks began to appear on the light wall at the edge of the barrier due to the erosion of the black energy.

Obviously, as long as this final barrier is broken, an extremely tragic ending awaits them.

She looked down at Wang Che and others who were lying on the ground and wailing. She tried to help them up, but as soon as her hands touched each other, a burning sensation came from her fingertips. She quickly retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

She looked at her scalded hands, her face gloomy.

She had to look at Chu Qingxiao again. She had a vague feeling that it was the young man himself who was rejecting the red aura pouring out of the peach trees. It was this move that accelerated the collapse of the barrier in front of him.

"Are you crazy? What do you want to do?" Chu Zhaozhao asked loudly. "I once heard someone say that there are two things in the world that are the most unacceptable."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the barrier.

Chu Zhaozhao looked alertly for the sound and saw the shadowy shaman Zhu walking slowly towards him.

One of his hands twisted Song Guicheng, who was covered in blood, and dragged his body on the ground, leaving a shocking blood trail behind him.

Behind him were more than a dozen Yongye Divine Guards, each carrying Chu Yueshan and others in their hands.

Most of them were covered in wounds and stained with blood, but strangely, Zhu Yuan did not kill them.

"Are you causing trouble!?" Chu Zhaozhao looked at Zhu Yuan and asked in a cold voice with a deep brow.

Zhu Yuan smiled slightly, reached out and threw Song Guicheng out in front of the barrier. The divine guards behind him also threw out the people they were holding, and threw them all around the barrier.

Everyone looked embarrassed, and there were many people who were struggling to stand up, but as soon as they tried their best, they felt a sharp pain like a heart-pounding pain all over their body, and they quickly fell back to the ground.

"Trouble?" Zhu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"I heard that Miss Chu is a disciple of Tianxuan Mountain. We Zhuyin have been living in the barren black abyss since thousands of years ago."

"But I have also heard of the name of Tianxuan Mountain."

"In your words, Tianxuan Mountain is a famous sect, and as far as I know, such famous sects usually have the bad habit of claiming to be righteous, flaunting themselves with hypocritical morality, and blaming others at the same time."

"Miss Chu's way of speaking does have a bit of this flavor."

Chu Zhaozhao frowned. She didn't like Zhu Yuan's attitude and mocking tone.

"Miss Chu, don't you really understand why Chu Qingxiao is resisting the sealing of the divine blood in her body?" Zhu Yuan's voice sounded again.

When he said this, a strange light shone in the narrow slits of his eyes, and he stared at Chu Zhaozhao quite playfully.

Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment. She seemed to understand something. At this moment, she turned her head and looked at Chu Qingxiao.

She just discovered that the boy's pupils were not dull, but filled with fear.

His upper and lower lips were not trembling, but murmuring...

He's saying: This isn't true...it's not true...it's not true!

"I once heard someone say that there are two things in the world that are most unacceptable."

"My own incompetence and the death of my loved ones."

"Unfortunately, he is accepting these two things at the same time." Zhu Yuan stepped towards the barrier and said.

Chu Yueshan stood up with difficulty. He looked at Zhu Yuan and cursed: "Bah! Aren't I still alive and well? You damn boy want to threaten my son with me!" After Chu Yueshan said this, he turned around.

Looking at Chu Qingxiao in the barrier, he shouted loudly: "Little bastard, act like a man and stop being so indecisive. I have been widowed by your mother for so many years, so it's time to go see her!"

"Your father is not afraid!"

After saying that, he glared at Sun Kuan next to him.

Sun Kuan obviously looked a little bitter, but under the gaze of Chu Yueshan's eyes that were as wide as copper bells, he was still reluctant to become a hero after all.

"Grand nephew! Although I am not so anxious to see your mother, but these bastards, even if you are merciful now, they will not let us go. If you can deal with them, go ahead and do it! Your uncle's life, give it to him

is you!!!"

The two of them spoke so arrogantly, but Song Guicheng on the side raised his head with difficulty, looked at the two of them, smiled bitterly, and said nothing.

Zhu Yuan also paid no attention to the shouting of the two. He just looked at Chu Zhaozhao, who was pale inside the barrier, and continued: "Miss Chu is an outsider. You know better than anyone else what happened in Wuling City?"

"You accuse us of being despicable and cruel, but why don't you tell them the truth?"

Zhu Yuan's question made Chu Zhaozhao turn pale and he didn't know how to respond.

The smile on Zhu Yuan's face became even bigger. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The barrier that was already covered with cracks in front of him was shattered at this moment.

He stepped up to Chu Qingxiao and looked at Chu Qingxiao who was lost in thought with a smile: "Since you came to the underground palace, I have wanted to have a good chat with you. Unfortunately, some people don't want you to know the truth and have blocked it many times."

Zhu Yuan said and glanced back at Song Guicheng on the ground.

Then he looked at Chu Qingxiao again and glanced at the red aura that filled his body: "This is the divine power left by the false god. I can't break through this divine power barrier in a short time and hurt you."

"Now as long as you have a thought and accept them, you can seal the Zhuyin Divine Blood in your body. My god will fall into deep sleep again, and I will lose the source of power and dissipate quickly."

"But before making this decision, don't you want to know the truth?"

Chu Qingxiao's body was trembling, his empty eyes regained some of their energy, and he looked at the man in front of him: "The truth?"

"Yes, the truth." Zhu Yuan said with a smile.

"You humans do business based on your own will. Now you also need to make a very important deal."

"I think you should figure out what the price you need to pay is before you make a decision."

"Isn't it?"

Zhu Yuan said, took out something from his arms and handed it over.

Chu Qingxiao looked down and saw that it was a yellowed book. He felt that the book looked familiar.

He took another closer look and saw four big characters written on the page——

Notes from the Lonely City.
