Let's go to the Demon Realm
“Master, Senior Brother is currently in a critical period of breakthrough. It’s because of the cultivation technique that he has actually developed demonic blood. You can’t blame Senior Brother, can you?” Mo Zuili advised.
Before Chu Qing could reply, Mo Zuili continued, "Ah! Senior Jiang, who is deep in Medicine King Mountain, sensed my senior brother's situation. Won't he step in to 'eliminate the scourge for the people'?"
Chu Qing rubbed her temples and sighed, "No, there's a barrier deep within Medicine King Mountain. Unless she happens to leave Medicine King Mountain today, she won't be able to sense it."
Despite saying that, Chu Qing still took action and set up a barrier around Shen Ling's secluded cultivation area.
Seeing Chu Qing's actions, Mo Zuili finally felt relieved.
Judging from the time it would take for Shen Ling to break through in the novel, Mo Zuili decided to wait for Shen Ling to come out of seclusion.
The first bolt of azure lightning crashed down with a thunderous roar, and Mo Zuili stared intently at the cultivation room in the center of the lightning tribulation.
At the very least, he should personally tell Shen Ling not to return to the Shen family and point him in the right direction to the Demon Realm.
Three days later, the Five Elements Thunderclouds on the top of Yaowang Mountain receded like a tide.
Because she almost got herself killed by Shen Ling's madness in the novel's plot, after the clouds completely dispersed, Mo Zuili first glanced at Chu Qing and saw that he was still motionless, frowning and thinking.
Mo Zuili's eyes flickered, and she softly called out, "Master, let's go take a look. Even if there is demonic energy, it's not Senior Brother's fault."
Although she said, "Let's go take a look," Mo Zuili didn't move an inch.
It wasn't until Chu Qing sighed and stepped forward that Mo Zuili followed two steps behind.
Upon approaching, she saw Shen Ling pressing her head in pain. For her own safety, Mo Zuili silently took two steps back.
However, the scene in the novel where Shen Ling goes mad does not actually happen.
Chu Qing approached Shen Ling, raised her hand and gently waved it, causing Shen Ling, who was on the verge of going insane, to faint.
Seeing her chance, Mo Zuili quickly stepped forward to support him, tilting her head back to ask Chu Qing, "Master, is there really no way to save Senior Brother?"
Chu Qing looked at Shen Ling, who was being supported by Mo Zuili, with a self-reproachful expression, and gently shook her head: "I'll check on him again once he's sober."
For the First Pill Refiner to speak with such helplessness, it's practically a death sentence for Shen Ling.
"Senior Brother's constitution is ultimately incompatible with the righteous path... Although the Demon Realm is dangerous, perhaps a way to find balance can be found there." Mo Zuili seemed to be muttering to himself.
“Master, once Senior Brother wakes up, you must send him to the Demon Realm as soon as possible. There is Senior Jiang in Medicine King Mountain. She hated the demon race very much. If Senior Brother stays on Medicine King Mountain and is discovered by her, she will definitely kill him! Senior Brother did not willingly become a demon. I believe that with Senior Brother’s character, even if he goes to the Demon Realm, he will not harm anyone.”
Yeah, right—
Mo Zuili thought of the novel's plot, where Shen Ling, who later turned evil, was a being who turned the world upside down among the human, demon, and monster races.
Given Chu Qing's personality, if he knew that his disciple had fallen into demonic possession because of his own actions, he would most likely not blame him.
But it's unlikely that I would just stand by and watch my disciple go to the Demon Realm to become a demonic cultivator.
Clearing her throat, Mo Zuili was about to continue her persuasion when she suddenly heard a clear bird song.
Mo Zuili opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction from which the birdsong was coming.
That's deep in Yaowang Mountain, the direction from which I last met Jiang Kunyue.
Mo Zuili closed her eyes, not daring to open them.
Is this a hallucination? It must be!
Oh God! I wanted to use Jiang Kunyue's matter to get Shen Ling to go to the Demon Realm as soon as possible, not that I really wanted her to come out now!
Don't get caught! Don't get caught!
Contrary to expectations, before Mo Zuili could even finish her internal monologue, several feather blades carrying chilling spiritual power attacked.
Mo Zuili shoved Chen Ling aside and dodged to the right.
I didn't dodge it, but I wasn't hurt either.
Chu Qing made a move, and a spiritual energy shield enveloped Mo Zuili and Shen Ling.
"Chu Qing! What are you doing?" Jiang Kunyue's ethereal voice echoed from afar: "Are you trying to protect the demon race?!"
Seeing that Chu Qing had protected him and temporarily escaped danger, Mo Zuili quickly explained, "Senior, my senior brother is not a demon. His bloodline was forcibly altered because of the cultivation method!" So please be merciful and spare his life. I'm still waiting for him to go to the Demon Realm to find a way to consolidate his cultivation!
As soon as Mo Zuili finished speaking, Jiang Kunyue flew to Chu Qing's side, her face gloomy.
"Kun Yue, calm down. He's like this because he's practicing the 'Primordial' cultivation technique that I brought from the Medicine Source Ruins," Chu Qing explained patiently.
Jiang Kunyue frowned, turned her gaze to Chu Qing, and said coldly, "Then he is also a demon now."
Seeing the two start arguing, Mo Zuili took the opportunity to move two steps to the left and help Shen Ling up again.
Shen Ling's clothes were brand new, as if they were old clothes that had been shattered by lightning and were new clothes that she had hurriedly put on before fainting after the lightning tribulation.
Mo Zuili casually brushed the dust and leaves off Shen Ling's clothes and face, then quickly took out various pills, pried open Shen Ling's mouth, and stuffed them into his mouth.
After feeding, it started shaking Chen Ling wildly.
Fearing that the male lead would go insane upon waking due to his bloodline, Mo Zuili placed the letter she had written the day before into Chen Ling's clothes.
In the letter, Mo Zuili fully demonstrates the communication principles she has learned in the modern world.
Start by saying what the other person wants to hear: Senior Brother! Your Master and I believe in your upright character, as steadfast as a pine tree standing tall in the snow, and that you would never willingly side with the demonic path. We will always be your strong support!
Then say something the other party will listen to: Senior Brother, you were able to trigger the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation during your Golden Core Transformation. I believe you must be the "chosen one"! Even if you leave Medicine King Mountain and go out alone, you can still show your skills.
"Now, let's get to the point," Mo Zuili said, abruptly changing the subject and becoming more direct, her words becoming heavier: "However, Senior Jiang, deep within Medicine King Mountain, has always been fiercely opposed to demons, and this time he might make things difficult for you. After much thought, Senior Brother, after you recover, you might as well travel to the Demon Realm. You can avoid the limelight and also seek a way to resolve the bloodline issue."
Finally, let me say what I wanted to say: Senior brother, on your journey, please don't just bury yourself in cultivation; you should also experience the scenery of the Demon Realm. When you pass through the Soul-Severing Tower area in the western part of the Demon Realm, remember to help me find a way to consolidate my cultivation.
Before she could even wake him up, Mo Zuili noticed Jiang Kunyue's increasingly cold gaze and a sense of crisis welled up inside her. With practiced ease, she shoved Shen Ling aside, dodging a casual strike from Jiang Kunyue, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Chu Qing, you've guarded Medicine King Mountain for so many years precisely to prevent demonic energy from escaping and threatening the safety of the human race, haven't you? You've had little contact with the demon race, so it's understandable that you don't understand. But don't you understand what the demon race is like? Even if your disciple is truly like this because of his cultivation technique, he still has demonic blood! That makes him a demon!"
You should immediately sever your master-disciple relationship with him and kill him!
After Jiang Kunyue finished shouting, seeing that her casual attack had missed Chen Ling, she turned to the side, her cold eyes sweeping over Mo Zuili, preparing to make another move.
Chu Qing also intervened and stopped Jiang Kunyue once again.
Mo Zuili nervously swallowed, and his hand, hidden behind his back, channeled spiritual power into the mother talisman.
The talisman, which was pressed tightly against Shen Ling's back, was activated and injected pure spiritual energy into Shen Ling's body.
As Jiang Kunyue grew increasingly enraged by Chu Qing's obstruction, her attacks became more and more ferocious and cunning. Mo Zuili was pleasantly surprised to find that Shen Ling moved her fingers.
After the initial surprise, Mo Zuili approached Shen Ling and shoved another handful of pills into his mouth. Then, she tossed him away, took ten steps back, and only after confirming that Shen Ling was awake and could escape if he went berserk did she shout at him, "Senior brother! Wake up! If you don't wake up, you're going to die!"
Jiang Kunyue and Chu Qing, who were fighting, both heard this and turned to look at Mo Zuili at the same time.
Shen Ling awoke from the chaos, her ears still ringing. She only caught the last syllable of "I'm going to die." Her temples throbbed, and her head was spinning. Just as she was about to ask, "Who's going to die?", she was struck by a feather blade from Jiang Kunyue.
If Chu Qing hadn't intervened immediately, using both medicine and spiritual energy to save him, the male protagonist would have died early in the story.
Stared at intently by Jiang Kunyue with hostile eyes, Shen Ling barely regained some of his senses. Before he could even figure out what was going on, he heard his junior sister cry out in anguish, "Senior brother! I believe that even if you go to the Demon Realm, you can still uphold your principles and fight for justice!"
Who goes to the Demon Realm? Me?
Shen Ling pressed his throbbing forehead and finally remembered that when he survived the tribulation and broke through to the next level, it was as if some seal had been broken in his body, and an unusual power surged out, forcibly changing his bloodline.
Forcibly suppressing the hunger surging from her heart, Shen Ling suddenly felt a jade pendant being placed in her hand.
"Crush it to open a spatial tunnel to the Demon Realm."
Shen Ling looked up, staring blankly at the back of the man in blue in front of her. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Mo Zuili shout loudly, "Senior brother! Remember to read the letter!"
Because of Jiang Kunyue's feather blade, Shen Ling doesn't even have the strength to stand, but her mind has never been so clear.
Junior sister is saying goodbye to herself; in the current situation, even Master can't protect her anymore.
Shen Ling closed her eyes, squeezed the jade tablet tightly in her hand, and a deep, dark vortex appeared and disappeared in an instant.
Shen Ling also disappeared along with them.
If Mo Zuili knew what Shen Ling was thinking, she would definitely cry foul: I really just wanted to remind you to read the letter and to help me find a way to consolidate my cultivation!
Jiang Kunyue saw the spatial tunnel and stared at Chu Qing with fury in her eyes: "Do you know that you are protecting the demons?!"
Seeing that the person had left, Chu Qing quietly relaxed and sighed, "He did not do anything wrong."
Mo Zuili thought to herself: That's true. In the later part of the novel, Shen Ling had not completely turned evil, but he had killed innocent people for the sake of his cultivation. In the Immortal Valley, Shen Ling still regarded Chu Qing as his master, but after Chu Qing found out that Shen Ling had killed innocent people indiscriminately, he really showed no mercy and wanted to kill Shen Ling.
When Chu Qing gave the jade token, Jiang Kunyue didn't see it because of her angle, but Mo Zuili, who was standing next to her, could see it clearly.
Seeing Shen Ling leave for the Demon Realm, Mo Zuili glanced at Jiang Kunyue's icy face out of the corner of her eye, took out the token given to her by Huang Tianlu, and said to Chu Qing with a calm expression, "Master, I'm going to the Demon Realm."
Before Chu Qing could speak, Jiang Kunyue sneered disdainfully, "I'm not going to kill you, what are you afraid of? You think you can go back to the demon race and compete for the position of demon king with such little courage?"
Heh, then why are you looking at me with those murderous eyes?
Mo Zuili didn't reply.
Chu Qing waited patiently for Jiang Kunyue to finish speaking before smiling and nodding, then admonishing her, "Go ahead, be careful over there."
Mo Zuili nodded, but before she could exert any force, Jiang Kunyue snorted coldly and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
ah?
Mo Zuili glanced at the jade tablet, then at Jiang Kunyue, and reminded her, "Senior, the spatial tunnel of the jade tablet can only transport one person."
Jiang Kunyue frowned in confusion: "Weren't those phoenix clan members outside Medicine King Mountain here to pick you up?"
