Chapter 108

Although Xiao Mo's first attack missed, he quickly adjusted himself. Actual combat is the best way to hone one's skills, and he played the flute more and more smoothly.

But this demon cultivator is difficult to defeat with just his sword energy. If Chu Jinglan hadn't been standing by, Xiao Mo would have had a hard time hitting him directly.

Moreover, Chu Jinglan also gave full guidance. If Xiao Mo had any shortcomings, he would point them out immediately and Xiao Mo would correct them immediately without having to wait for the next time.

The demon cultivator went from being angry at first to being horrified. He was obviously more powerful in terms of cultivation, but he was actually being beaten by two guys in the early stage of the Spirit Severing Realm!

Xiao Mo turned his wrist and felt that he had practiced well enough. He nodded to Chu Jinglan, then placed the flute horizontally in front of him, and the sound of the flute broke through the air.

The sword energy is just an auxiliary for training, and the flute sound is his best weapon now.

What's more, the consciousness of the demon cultivators is their weakness. What they fear most is encountering those who can attack their hearts. Xiao Mo's destructive power on consciousness is not as strong as when he was a demon, but he can still be considered a half-rival of the demon cultivators.

While the others were capturing the four demons, Xiao Mo also successfully captured the demon cultivator.

When Yue Ming came over to pick up the person, Xiao Mo took out a rope and tied up the demon cultivator casually. Yue Ming saw the golden chain on Xiao Mo's wrist and remembered the way it was wrapped around Chu Jinglan's hand before. She said casually: "The chain on your hand can tie people up, why bother adding another one?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo's eyes dodged for a moment, and he felt a rare bit of embarrassment in his awkwardness, and coughed lightly: "This chain won't work."

Yue Ming didn't want to understand at first, but Xiao Mo subconsciously glanced at Chu Jinglan, so he was forced to understand.

This chain can only bind him and Chu Jinglan, not anyone else.

Yueming: “…”

What a waste of such a good weapon!

Yue Ming angrily kicked the demon cultivator to accompany the other four demons, venting his anger on them: "Tell me, who sent you here, and what's your purpose!"

Of course, several demons begged for mercy, saying that they were only there to take blood and had no other thoughts. Only the demon cultivator remained silent. Someone pointed a sword at him and asked, "Why don't you say anything?"

The demon cultivator snorted, "I am a demon cultivator. If I fall into your hands, I will inevitably die. There is no point in saying more."

"Not necessarily," Jun Bushu looked down at him with his sleeves tucked into his pockets, and said slowly, "The person we are waiting for has not come. If you are really someone who sent you to get information, we might let you go this time."

The demon cultivator rolled his eyes but remained cautious and silent.

At this time, Xiao Mo opened his palm, and inside was a small glass-like bead. Seeing the bead, the demon cultivator's face changed instantly. Xiao Mo looked at his nose and shook the bead: "You just wanted to send this bead away in the chaos, but unfortunately, I have good eyesight and intercepted it. Do you have anything else to say now?"

The demon cultivator's expression changed several times, and after several flashes of light and dark, he finally lowered his shoulders. He had released this bead to send messages, and if he could send some messages before he died, it would still be valuable. But now he couldn't get blood, and the message was blocked, so his death would be in vain.

"I said, please spare my life. I was sent by Lord Su to investigate the situation first."

Jun Bushu raised his eyelids, and Mu Jian behind him said with a sullen face: "Su Baimo?"

The demon cultivator lowered his head, weak and powerless: "Yes."

Xiao Mo was surprised: Su Baimo became a demon cultivator?

He really didn't expect this to be the answer.

Mu Jian clenched his fists and said to Jun Bushu, "Senior Brother Jun, as expected, he is involved this time. We must catch this traitor and take back the treasures that belong to the sect!"

Jun Bushu nodded and said to the other Mahayana cultivator, "Let this person go back and tell Su Baimo that we are afraid he won't come."

Xiao Mo listened to Chu Jinglan's voice transmission: "What happened? How did Su Baimo become a demon cultivator?"

It turned out that Su Baimo was captured by Fen Xiu outside the Jiumi Pagoda. After all, he was a disciple of Lingxiao Sect. In addition, his qualifications were improved after taking the elixir, so he was a good seedling. Lingxiao Sect did not want to miss him, so they did not leave him alone, but tried to rescue him.

What's more, Dai Zisheng was determined to rescue the people no matter what. He went deep into the Demon Realm and took risks several times. He finally got the chance and rescued Su Baimo while Fen Xiu was away.

But he was still seriously injured that time. Mu Jian looked at Dai Zisheng's injuries and said to Su Baimo, now we are even for the life-saving favor.

Dai Zisheng is indeed loyal and righteous. Xiao Mo: "And then?"

"Although the old Dao had not completely dissipated at that time, its power and Dao had been stripped away. Su Baimo was affected and things were no longer going smoothly."

Chu Jinglan didn't pay attention to Su Baimo. The reason he knew about him was because Su Baimo caused a big trouble after his luck turned bad.

He did not give up his method of dual cultivation of the Yanyan Furnace and Ding physiques and deceived many people, maneuvering among them, but this time he was no longer favored and his true intentions were exposed.

When Su Baimo selects people, he not only considers their cultivation but also their status. Because of this, once his actions are exposed, these disciples of high status will not let him off easily.

In the end, he was only expelled from Lingxiao Sect, which was considered a light punishment in the eyes of some people.

But when Su Baimo left, the elders of the sect were surprised to find that the aura of a precious treasure at the mountain gate had also disappeared. They went to check, only to find that the treasure was gone and had been disguised to deceive everyone. Su Baimo's behavior was recorded in a hidden photo stone.

Chu Jinglan said: "Maybe the old path went to see him before it disappeared and left him some instructions."

The old sect had already dispersed, and Su Baimo should have no chance to reunite with it again. However, after this incident, he and Lingxiao Sect began to keep an eye on Su Baimo's whereabouts.

As long as Su Baimo doesn't get involved in the affairs of Heaven and doesn't cause trouble for Chu Jinglan in this life, Chu Jinglan won't want to care about him at all. The grudges of previous lives should have been avenged at that time, and he has no intention of being entangled with Su Baimo for several lifetimes.

But if Su Baimo still can’t figure it out, that’s another matter.

The last time a disciple saw him, the news he brought back was that Su Baimo had become possessed by a demon, and that his cultivation had now reached the Mahayana stage.

Although Su Baimo's luck would get worse, his cultivation qualifications would improve, and he also had the identity of a disciple of Lingxiao Sect. He could have lived a good life, but he chose to make trouble and played a good hand of cards badly.

It's not a bad thing to be ambitious, but ambition without real power will breed endless jealousy, and then people will go astray and only use shady means, which will make people look bad.

Moreover, Su Baimo has now become a demon cultivator, and any righteous cultivator who meets him will fight with him.

Yueming was still asking, "Su Baimo wants to save people?"

The demon cultivator shook his head: "I don't know, but the master only told me to take blood."

Yue Ming nodded: "Okay, you can go, take out the storage container."

After the demon cultivator took out the storage container, Yue Ming gathered the rich spiritual power and slapped it on the demon cultivator's dantian. After injecting the spiritual power into the demon cultivator, he tightened his five fingers, grabbed the spiritual power, and shattered the demon cultivator's dantian.

The intense pain made the demon cultivator's eyes go black and he almost fainted. He vomited blood, but his will to survive was strong and he managed to hold on and not faint.

Yue Ming took back her hand and said, "Get lost."

The magic practitioners all practiced evil techniques, each with its own backlash. If their cultivation was wasted, they would not be able to resist the next backlash, and would simply die in pain and torture, with not much time left.

Wasting your cultivation is no different from killing them.

The demon cultivator himself knew that it was impossible for him to escape unscathed. Although he hated the enemy very much, at least he was alive. When death was approaching, he still wanted to live. He decided to live one day at a time. He gritted his teeth and staggered away at the fastest speed he could.

Yue Ming snorted, "I don't know how many people the evil heretics have harmed. They want to live just by begging for mercy. That's wishful thinking."

After cleaning up and questioning these people, everyone rested for a while. Chu Jinglan took out a piece of brocade cloth from the storage container and spread it in front of him, then put a food box on it. As soon as he opened the box, the aroma of food wafted out, attracting everyone to look over.

They were all people who practiced fasting, and apart from tasting something at banquets, no one would bring food with them when going out. But the food in Chu Jinglan's food box smelled so good and it also emitted a strong spiritual power.

"The spiritual power contained in this spiritual food can already assist in cultivation just like elixirs, right?"

"Yes, and...it smells so good. It looks delicious."

Someone couldn't help swallowing. Chu Jinglan was about to call Xiao Mo to come and eat, but when he looked up, he found that there was no joy in Xiao Mo's eyes, but complexity and sourness.

Chu Jinglan put his hand on the food box: "Don't like it?"

Xiao Mo immediately shook his head, not wanting Chu Jinglan to misunderstand him, so he raised his hand and brought out a dish: "No, I just remembered something."

Xiao Mo took out the dishes one by one and arranged them. He lowered his head, took out an oil paper package from his storage container, and slowly opened it in front of Chu Jinglan.

Chu Jinglan's expression changed as Xiao Mo moved.

The small oil paper package contained licorice flowers.

Chu Jinglan's memory suddenly went back to the time when they were in the fragrant courtyard on the ninth floor of the pagoda and he was handing the licorice flowers to Xiao Mo.

Those days were ordinary, but like a paradise, without any disturbance. What a relaxing and pleasant time it was.

"I left half a pack. I couldn't bear to eat it, so I took it away." Xiao Mo wanted to put on a smile, but failed after trying several times. He could only continue to lower his head and purse his lips, "Sorry, I..."

Chu Jinglan reached out, picked up a licorice flower, and pressed it on Xiao Mo's lips.

"Did you already like me at that time?"

Xiao Mo raised his head, words still on his lips, and could only utter a "hmm" from his throat.

After the reunion, even though they confessed their feelings, they never asked each other when they fell in love with each other. Now they know that looking back will only add to the silent regrets, but hiding it will not make things any better.

Chu Jinglan gently stroked Xiao Mo's lips through the petals: "...it turns out you were in pain at that time too."

Xiao Mo opened his mouth and took the licorice flower in, using the sweetness to cover up the bitterness in his mouth: "Not as good as you."

Chu Jinglan must have liked me earlier. Looking back now, the extra points that suddenly became infinite were clearly the result of his first love. He was deeply moved. It was not brotherhood or friendship, but admiration. He didn't know where the feelings came from, but he knew who was his sweetheart.

Knowing that Xiao Mo was also in pain because of him, Chu Jinglan felt half happy and half distressed. The happy half was due to his crazy thoughts boiling over. In the past, when he missed Xiao Mo alone, his confused consciousness always overwhelmed his original intentions and prevailed. But today, that bit of happiness was quickly drowned out by the heartache and disappeared without a trace.

Without deliberately concentrating his mind, his real intention spread to his chest and kicked the beast out.

For a long time he didn't dare to recall the days in the Nine Secret Pagoda. Now that Xiao Mo was by his side, he could finally think about it again. After the trance of another world passed, he seemed to see clearly the look of Chu Jinglan at that time.

The pure, unscathed Chu Jinglan could not be found again, but who said he couldn't be better than before? Xiao Mo was by his side, and he still loved Xiao Mo, so he could, he definitely could.

Chu Jinglan took Xiao Mo with him and walked with the crowd, but in front of everyone, his possessiveness only surged in secret, which was simply shameful compared to Xiao Mo's boldness.

But even if his whole heart is rotten, his love for Xiao Mo should still shine brightly.

Chu Jinglan held a piece of licorice flower between his lips, then leaned over and placed it on Xiao Mo's lips.

Xiao Mo's eyes widened slightly, and then the sadness in them turned into joy and a glance. He opened his lips, letting the licorice flower with a sad and shocking scent gently enter his mouth.

How sweet, they both thought at the same time.

Chu Jinglan realized that the half-dried red lotus and the scorched nightshade in the sea trembled at the same time.

There are new, soft petals that are quietly unfolding.

Xiao Mo saw a fleeting smile in the eyes of Chu Jinglan who was so close to him. Just like the surprise he felt when he first saw Chu Jinglan's smile, it melted the frost and snow in an instant.

This was his passion, and always had been.

A flower is shared by two people, and its sweetness becomes doubled, flowing in the hearts of both people.

Chu Jinglan: "If you like it, I will prepare it for you later."

"I like everything you give me." Oh, Xiao Mo thought of something, raised his hand, took out the Dongqing Pearl and put it in Chu Jinglan's hand.

"The Dongqing Pearl is good for the mind. You can take it with you. I have used my spiritual power to nourish it for a few days. It should be helpful to you."

The power of the water spirit root was just right for nourishing the Dongqing Pearl. In addition to the pearl's own spiritual energy, it was also wrapped in Xiao Mo's aura. Chu Jinglan held it in his hand, feeling the flow of spiritual energy inside. His cool palms became warm, as if Xiao Mo was holding his palms.

Chu Jinglan agreed: "Okay."

He also wanted to regain consciousness quickly so that he could possess the person in front of him without fear.

Xiao Mo leaned over to him and said, "I've kept the bead for so long, and I've figured out how to use it better. You taught me how to use the sword, and now it's my turn to teach you."

Now, the only one who dares to volunteer to teach Immortal Master Chu is Xiao Mo. If outsiders knew about this, they would definitely think that someone is exaggerating, but since the Immortal Master himself is happy to do it, it is not something outsiders can interfere with.
