Chapter 70 Ask Your Dao Heart!

The group quickly left the Yin-Yang Basin and went further.

At this moment, in the karst cave where they came in, a crack flashed in the air and Miao Chengyang’s figure appeared.

The Gu Abyss was strange. Not only was it vast, but the terrain was also changeable. Every once in a while, they would face a brand new terrain.

Although he had set off immediately after receiving the news, he could not confirm which direction Ouyang Xianxing and the others had gone.

However, this was not a problem for him.

Miao Chengyang closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them, his eyes were bloodshot. On the ground in front of him, there was a line of footprints that looked like blood.

This direction leads to the Dream Sensing Forest? Miao Chengyang pondered. The sect’s rules are strict. Every time the Cold Marrow Fire is born, only the person who accepts the mission knows the exact location of the fire seed.

However, the attributes of the Dream Sensing Forest conflict with the Cold Marrow Fire, so it must not be the source of the fire.

Looks like Ouyang Xianxing is afraid of being followed and wants to use the Dream Sensing Forest to trip up the latecomers.

At the thought of this, he could not help but sneer. Unfortunately, I’m here personally this time! What’s a mere Dream Sensing Forest?

With that, Miao Chengyang’s figure flashed as he followed the bloody footprints.

At this moment, perhaps sensing the aura of a living creature, there were rustling sounds all around. Occasionally, there were prying gazes. However, after a few shadows approached Miao Chengyang, they screamed and retreated before they could attack.

Miao Chengyang snorted coldly and clenched his fists lightly. Wherever his murmur went, countless evil spirits and ghosts quickly retreated in a panic. He could not be bothered to look at these useless evil spirits. He dispersed the Inner Demon Fist and continued on his way.

Soon he arrived at the Dream Sensing Forest.

Facing the blood-colored waterfall formed by countless swaying vines, Miao Chengyang was not as nervous as Ouyang Xianxing and the others. He walked in without stopping. When the blood-colored vines sensed him, they instantly accelerated and swept towards him from all directions.

At the same time, a hazy glow appeared in the forest, trying to pull Miao Chengyang into an illusion.

Miao Chengyang sneered. “You’re courting

death!”

Not only did he not resist, he even took the initiative to let go of his defenses and sink into the illusion.

The scene in front of him changed silently. As Miao Chengyang had expected, after entering the illusion, what appeared in front of him was his younger brother, Miao Cheng’an, who was covered in injuries and on the verge of death.

“Cheng’an, don’t worry. I’m going to hunt down Pei Ling now.” Miao Chengyang glanced at his ‘brother’ and revealed a rare hint of gentleness. He said in a low voice, “I’ll torture him with the cruelest punishment and force him to tell me who the mastermind is. No matter who the mastermind is, I’ll use his flesh and blood to pay my respects to you sooner or later.”

With that, Miao Chengyang raised his hand without hesitation, planning to break through the illusion.

However, at this moment, Miao Cheng’an looked up with his blood-stained face and said lifelessly, “Brother, why did you only avenge me now? Why didn’t you kill that little bastard, Pei Ling, when he just returned to the sect?! You’re an inner sect disciple and one of the 13 Branch Masters! Even with your cultivation status, the penalty for killing that little bastard is high, but you can afford it, right?

I’m your only younger brother. You once swore on your parents’ deathbed that you would take good care of me for the rest of your life.

In the end, I was reduced to ashes, but you let your enemy live freely in the outer sect until now… How can you face me? How can you face our parents?!”

Miao Chengyang was stunned. Logically, he knew that the person in front of him was not his younger brother, but someone from his dream. However, Miao Cheng’an was his younger brother after all. Ever since his parents passed away, he was the closest person in the world to him.

Faced with this question, his heart softened and, for a moment, his raised palm stopped right there.

Meanwhile, Miao Cheng’an continued to roar, “Li Ping has many descendants. Li Siguang is just a concubine’s son. He is overcautious and unwilling to pay too much for a bastard grandson. It’s understandable! And the Zhou family is also prosperous. Zhou Yi said that he is core disciple Zhou’s younger brother, but in fact, his blood ties are distant and his aptitude is low. It’s understandable that core disciple Zhou doesn’t care about his life or death.

But what about you?!

You and I have the same father and mother. We are family!

I thought that after you suspected Zheng Jingshan, you would kill him on the spot! Who knew that you would only teach him a lesson and stop after inflicting some superficial injuries?

It has been so many days since Pei Ling returned to the sect, but you have only just started to make a move!

Do you think that after hesitating for so long, killing Pei Ling will be letting me down?

Do you not want to avenge me at all!” “Cheng’an…” Miao Chengyang’s heart ached. He and Miao Cheng’an were biological brothers of the same father and mother. Their parents had passed away early. Before they died, he had knelt in front of his parents’ bed and vowed to take good care of his younger brother.

Even when Miao Cheng’an was deemed unqualified by the Holy Sect back then and was refused entry, after Miao Chengyang entered the inner sect, he immediately tried to get his younger brother into the outer sect so that he could take care of him.

He had thought that even if it was difficult for his younger brother to achieve anything, as long as he was around, he would not suffer too much in the outer sect.

Who knew that with just a little negligence, not only would Miao Cheng’an die tragically, but he would also be reduced to ashes?

If he had known this would happen, he would have let his younger brother stay there. Perhaps he would not have ended up like this.

Miao Chengyang was extremely sad as he explained, “Cheng’an, it’s not that I don’t want to avenge you, but Pei Ling is suspected to have been instructed by Zheng Jingshan. And Zheng Jingshan has some ties with core disciple Li. I… I’m only the Branch Master of the Lower Five Factions in the inner sect. We don’t have any powerful elders in the sect.

I can’t kill Zheng Jingshan now. Otherwise, even if core disciple Li is in seclusion, the Upper Three Factions who serve her will not let me off… If something happens to me, who will avenge you?

Now I’ve decided to side with core disciple Zhou. After some time, after I gain his trust and reliance, I’ll deal with Zheng Jingshan…”

“In the end, you’re still afraid!” Miao Cheng’an looked at him with a pale face and said faintly, “You’re afraid that taking revenge for me will affect your future.”

Miao Chengyang instinctively wanted to deny it. “I’m not, I…”

“If you’re not, why don’t you search your Dao heart?” Miao Cheng’an smiled coldly and said sternly, “Back then, when you were in the outer sect, you fought with Zheng Jingshan over a small matter! At that time, everyone advised you to let bygones be bygones. After all, not only was Zheng Jingshan’s background stronger than yours, but he also had core disciple Li as his backer. In terms of cultivation and background, you couldn’t compare to him!

But you felt that we cultivators would rather die on the path of valor than live ignobly. Otherwise, being a yes-man to one’s backer, being timid, and living in fear… How is that different from chasing fame and fortune unscrupulously and shamelessly in the mortal world?

uns

And the result?

You won! Not only did you suppress Zheng Jingshan until now, but you also received core disciple Zhou’s favor.

But now you’re so indecisive and have completely lost your original intention!

When you say that you’ll be useful in the future, are you really thinking about the big picture or are you afraid of taking revenge for me and losing your current status and power?!

Ask your Dao heart… Are you considering or are you afraid?

Miao Chengyang, you’ve changed!

You’re no longer my old brother… You’ve changed! If you don’t believe me, ask your Dao heart…

Ask your Dao heart… Ask your Dao heart… Ask… Ask…”

The more Miao Chengyang listened, the paler his face became. Suddenly, he realized that the face of ‘Miao Cheng’an’ in front of him began to change. It gradually turned into his own face!
