Chapter 233 The Truth
The infinite and endless spiritual power and life source are converging towards the body of Duan Corina, as if awakening something dormant within her, summoning an unknown existence that others are unaware of.
Chu Qianqiu is still attacking the defensive formation.
He has begun to realize a problem.
Among all the cultivators present, he has almost seen everyone except for those miscellaneous disciples. Whether it's the elders or the veiled woman, or some prominent cultivators in this sect, he has either heard of them or truly seen them.
But there seems to be one person who is not among them. Chu Qianqiu has only heard of his existence but has never truly seen him.
Yes, he is the sect master of this sect.
The master of a sect will always appear in the public eye at the most critical moment, saving the sect from danger and accomplishing things that ordinary people cannot. This is the responsibility that a pillar of the sect should fulfill.
But now, when he looks around, everything is empty.
The so-called savior does not exist. Misty Cloud Sect has indeed been forced to defend itself with all its might, but that so-called key figure has still not appeared.
Chu Qianqiu has always wanted to find him, but he seems to have evaporated, leaving nothing behind but an empty name.
"Where has their sect master gone?"
Thinking in his heart, Chu Qianqiu is briefly at a loss.
He does not believe that Misty Cloud Sect is a sect without a sect master, as that would go against common sense.
He also does not believe that the sect master has abandoned all the cultivators of Misty Cloud Sect and fled alone. If he had truly fled first, then logically speaking, the group of cultivators present would not gather together to wait for death. They should all have escaped.
What is the point of guarding a sect without the protection of the sect master?
Is staying here a sign of mental illness?
Obviously, these guys understand this better than he does.
Combined with the elders who were manipulated like puppets before.
Chu Qianqiu quickly comes to his own conclusion.
That is, the sect master of this sect must be among them.
He is among these cultivators, just hiding very well, and he hasn't noticed.
Perhaps he has already met him, but he just can't remember...
Who could he be?
"You better give up obediently."
"Even though Misty Cloud Sect is now on the brink of danger, it is already the limit of what you can do."
"All the sacrificial materials are ready, only waiting for the right moment, but it doesn't matter anymore."
"You will soon regret standing here."
Staring at the Saintess beside him, the veiled woman reveals an unnoticed smile and takes out some other things from her storage ring.
There is a giant python scale with long-dried blood on it.
In addition, she also takes out two python eyeballs, four sharp python fangs, a huge mammoth ivory, a bright red bleeding flower, a ginseng-shaped arm-thick lingzhi mushroom, and finally, a golden bottle containing an unknown liquid, as well as a colorful and divine-looking radiant immortal pill.
All these items gather together and start rotating around Duan Corina's body, being integrated and wrapped together by the veiled woman's secret technique, Integrated Union.
The sword inserted into Duan Corina's back hummed, seemingly sensing the presence of these sacrificial objects. It began to feel excited and continuously penetrated deeper into Duan Corina's body, causing her to cry out in pain.
When Chu Qianqiu saw the snake fangs and snake eyes in the sacrificial objects, he instantly thought of Bai Zhuo's mother. In that instant, it seemed like he knew something.
Firstly, Bai Zhuo's mother had indeed died, killed by the cultivators of the Misty Cloud Sect. It seemed that she had been dead for a long time, as the blood on the scales had already been eroded by time.
Also, because these items were gathered together, he understood the ultimate fate of the Misty Cloud Sect's sect master.
Perhaps, that person was now right in front of him.
He was Duan Corina.
No, to be precise, he was the "swords" that were buzzing with excitement.
He was not a human... but rather a Spirit Body that had taken residence in those swords.
And perhaps, Duan Corina at this moment was the true name of that person. Everything seemed to become clear.
He wanted to take over Stephanie's body in some form, or perhaps, in this way, be reincarnated.
This also explained why Gu Wanqing could obtain such exaggerated power but had weak actual combat strength, relying on the Self Destruct sword body to maintain a certain level of power.
This also explained why this person eventually changed their name and no longer recognized themselves. Perhaps it was because the people of the Misty Cloud Sect never saw her as a person. In this sect, she was not a person but a substitute for someone more respected.
She was not the Saintess, just a vessel for someone hidden in the dark corners.
She didn't remember herself, perhaps because her memories were maliciously erased, to prevent her from resisting.
If the cultivators of the Misty Cloud Sect could directly erase her soul, perhaps Chu Qianqiu would not have seen her clear eyes in that instant.
Everything was indeed not so simple, and there were no free lunches in the world.
From the beginning, she might have been a tragedy.
She was not the Saintess, and she might not possess any so-called exceptional talent. What she possessed was just a perfect body suitable for the reincarnation of the Misty Cloud Sect's sect master.
From the beginning, she deceived herself and everyone else, and in the end... she was deceived by everyone.
"Who are you?"
"Come out!"
With a loud shout, Chu Qianqiu's voice thundered, penetrating the protective barrier and intimidating everyone present.
The Misty Cloud Sect cultivators, whose souls were in chaos, were frightened by this sound. They all stopped transmitting their spiritual power and trembled as if they were dumbfounded.
The sacrificial ceremony was forcibly interrupted, and the sword inserted into Duan Corina's back was slightly pulled out, trembling and buzzing.
But this time, its trembling was not due to excitement but fear.
"How... did you do this?"
The veiled woman was furious when she saw the sacrificial ceremony, which was about to be successfully completed, being interrupted.
But she couldn't go out and fight the monster herself right now. She could only hide in the formation and curse angrily.
"Forget it, we're just one step away."
"The defensive formation is complete, and these useless people are no longer needed. You can no longer enter."
"Now, no matter how you shout, it shouldn't change one fact... Stephanie will forever be separated from you."
"I admit, the sect's Saintess is just a cover. She is only a vessel I used to resurrect the sect master."
