Chapter 109 The Eldest Disciple of the Joyous Union Sect VS Grandmaster Guangfeng Jiyue 26

At the crucial moment, the old man appeared.

He swung his sword to slay the greedy nightmare, and said solemnly, "His cultivation is so profound. If you were to consume him today, you would explode and die because you couldn't control this power. Leave quickly."

The nightmare clutched its wound, knowing it couldn't possibly defeat him, and could only grit its teeth and leave.

The old man slapped Xu Wenye awake.

Xu Wenye suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was just a dream. Thank goodness it was just a dream.

"Grandmaster?!" Xu Wenye was stunned.

The old man smiled and said, "I know what you want to ask. I have long since perished. This is just a remnant of my soul. One reason is to protect you, and the other is to preserve the remaining half of my cultivation."

"Actually, I was just pretending to deceive you that day. I was worried that you would lose your true self if you controlled such powerful strength, so I wanted to give you a test. If you are determined, you will catch up with my cultivation level in no time."

"Furthermore, I have also foreseen that you will face a calamity. It is difficult to say what will happen to those from beyond the heavens; I can only do my best. I gave you half of my cultivation a year ago, and this is the last time I will save you."

"It is because I am incompetent that I have caused my master to worry."

"You've been doing very well, but I still have something to say to you. I've met that young girl before; she's lively and interesting, no wonder you like her so much. Unfortunately, love is always voluntary, so don't become obsessed."

"You almost succumbed to demonic possession that day, and you had that dream just now. You should know what all of this means. I hope that no matter what, you can hold fast to your Daoist heart."

“This disciple understands,” Xu Wenye said.

"That's good. That's all I have to say." As soon as the old man finished speaking, his body slowly dissipated into the air, turning into specks of light, and then disappeared without a trace.

Xu Wenye knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Grandmaster."

After a long while, he finally got up, only to find a faint mark on the ground, vaguely pointing to a certain place.

Siye was also lively and eager to get in that direction, and Xu Wenye understood what was going on.

...

A mountain peak.

"Sister, come and see!" Helian Mu was holding a beautifully sculpted little girl.

After that day, Helian Mu brought Jiang Zhiyi to this immortal mountain, where many spirit beasts lived.

"What is this?" Jiang Zhiyi asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's that little spirit beast that was born not long ago. Thanks to the spirit stones you gave her, she received so much spiritual energy, so she transformed into human form very early on."

"Give me a hug!" Jiang Zhiyi's heart was almost melted by her cuteness. She was already very endearing when she was still in her little spirit beast form, and she is still very adorable now.

Jiang Zhiyi has been having a wonderful time here, but she occasionally thinks of Xu Wenye and the days she spent in Lingshan.

A gentle breeze stirs the air, petals flutter down, and a delightful fragrance fills the air.

Jiang Zhiyi held the baby and played under the tree, her silvery laughter ringing out, she was very happy.

Xu Wenye watched this scene from afar, hiding in the shadows.

Only now did he finally feel relieved; she must be doing well.

He just hadn't figured out how to see her, or what to say when he did. What if she avoided him?

There were still many things to prepare, and he dared not take any risks, fearing that she would run away again.

Xu Wenye looked up again and saw Helian Mu walk over, reach out and pick up the child in her arms, his face full of joy.

Could this be their child?

Xu Wenye felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He realized that they had gotten together the moment she left. This past year had just made the perfect timeframe.

If he were to kill Helian Mu, would Jiang Zhiyi hate him?

Xu Wenye thought for a while and decided to wait for an opportunity to make his move. He simply couldn't tolerate Helian Mu.

He then recalled the day he helped the wealthy merchant kill the monster outside the city. He imagined the wealthy merchant must have been extremely happy, after all, who wouldn't want someone devoted to them?

He also wanted her complete devotion.

However, he absolutely could not let Jiang Zhiyi know about this. At that time, he only needed to create a false impression so that Jiang Zhiyi would believe that Helian Mu had left due to an accident.

As a spirit beast, Helian Mu was always perceptive, and he quickly noticed Xu Wenye spying from the side.

"Sister, are you still thinking about Xu Wenye?" Helian Mu asked in a low voice.

"I didn't," Jiang Zhiyi denied.

"Then why don't you accept me? You should know my feelings very well." Helian Mu said with a hint of sadness.

"I'm sorry, Amu, I only ever thought of you as a beloved younger brother." Jiang Zhiyi was also helpless.

She truly only felt brotherly affection for Helian Mu, nothing more. She didn't want to hold him back in any way; she had actually told him these things many times before.

Helian Mu concealed his true intentions and said with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this."

He glanced in that direction again, and his eyes met Xu Wenye's.

"Sister, I have to leave for a while."

...

Deep in the woods.

Xu Wenye stood in front of Helian Mu.

"What do you want to do?" Helian Mu asked warily.

"What is your relationship with her?" Xu Wenye asked coldly, his face as cold as ice.

Helian Mu did not answer his question, but instead asked, "You ruthlessly killed my sister back then, so what are you doing here now?"

Xu Wenye gripped his sword tighter, his face growing increasingly grim: "I did not mean to hurt her."

"So what? You still ended up hurting her. She's doing well here now, so don't bother her anymore. From now on, you have nothing to do with each other. If you try to cause trouble, don't blame me for being impolite."

"I advise you to give up now. The little baby you saw today is my and my sister's child. Do you think there's still a chance for you two?" Helian Mu said sarcastically.

He raised his eyebrows again and laughed loudly: "Now my sister and I are deeply in love."

Unable to contain his emotions, Xu Wenye quickly said, "Then I will kill you."

“I love that child very much. From now on, she is my own child, and I will be a good father to her. You can go in peace.”

Xu Wenye grabbed Helian Mu by the neck and suddenly pulled out his long sword with his other hand.

"Xu Wenye, stop right there!" A familiar shout rang out.
