Chapter 101 Her Inner Demon
The barrier that blocked himself shattered.
Wei Shizhou took a step back, and his eyes suddenly met her cold gaze. Those eyes were filled with many more emotions. If he had to use a word to describe them... they looked more like a person.
The Qingshuang Sword made a buzzing sound.
Shi Hua's gaze shifted indifferently, looking into the void. "You still don't want to see me?"
The surrounding space changes.
Standing on a meadow again, I could smell the fragrance of flowers from the peach grove not far away. The low stone table under the peach tree was the same as before, except that the owner sitting opposite it was missing.
The illusory figure of Chen Xu gradually appeared.
She sat there with a faint smile at the corners of her eyes. When she tilted her head to look at me, the smile deepened and she waved, just like the gentle and powerful Immortal Chenxu in the past.
"Xiao Shihua, come here."
Shi Hua put away Qing Shuang and walked forward a few steps. Hearing footsteps behind him, he coldly ordered, "Stay where you are."
Wei Shizhou and the system looked at each other in silence, with helplessness and worry in each other's eyes.
Hot tea appeared out of thin air on the low stone table.
Shi Hua sat down, stared at the steam rising from the teacup with his eyes lowered, and after a long time he raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him whom he had not seen for thousands of years.
Her master, Chenxu.
No one spoke.
Chen Xu lowered his eyes and drank tea, savoring its aroma carefully.
Shi Hua has never been a calm person. As the Immortal Master Shuyu, she must understand the overall situation and not act on impulse.
"It's rare for us to meet, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"
Chen Xu still didn't speak.
"Yes, if you really missed me, why would you not come to find me for ten thousand years? When I knew you were not dead, my heart was filled with indescribable joy. I told myself to stay calm. Perhaps it was just the demon's one-sided story. After all, I killed you with my own hands and buried you with my own hands..."
"Ying Xing was just a child back then. He didn't have the means to set up a scheme that took ten thousand years. You saved him unintentionally, but used him intentionally. I can't even tell whether you were sincere or fake when you talked to him about us, my senior sisters and brothers."
"I still remember you saying you wanted to change the world and that you pulled me out of the dark world. I thought we had the same idea. But everything that's happened now tells me that I never really understood you. Perhaps you weren't sincere to me from the beginning."
Shi Hua's voice was a little choked. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and looked at her directly, wanting to get her answer.
"Why aren't you looking at me? Are you scared?"
"So you also get scared sometimes... Master."
Chen Xu sighed heavily. She raised her eyes, her struggling expression clearly visible, but there was no trace of regret.
Shi Hua ridiculed him endlessly.
She thought that no matter what the final answer was, it didn't matter anymore.
"Xiao Shihua..." Chen Xu's lips moved, as if he was thinking of the right words, "It's not that I don't want to see you, it's that I can't leave here. My soul is too weak. I was lucky enough to survive at the beginning, but it was only for a moment. I had no choice but to let Ying Xing put me to sleep..."
She paused here.
Shi Hua sneered, "Don't you know how to write this? Why don't you let me tell you for you?"
"Ten thousand years ago, you knew you couldn't continue to live, but you were unwilling to perish, so you set your sights on me. You know I have an Earth-level Immortal Bone, and such a tonic is a piece of fat meat in anyone's eyes. You thought it would be better to help you regain your life than to let an outsider take advantage of it. After all, I am your disciple, and it is only natural for a disciple to help his master."
"But you also know that I am very vigilant and never trust outsiders easily. Even you and Chi Qingxuan spent a lot of effort to get close to me back then. So you gave up trying to get close to me through Ying Xing and chose to commit suicide as a gamble. You bet on whether I would impulsively look for you after I knew you were still alive."
"The facts prove that you won the bet. I was indeed frantically looking for you, but I ignored all the clues that came too easily. Now that I think about it, there are some things I don't understand. How could you be so sure that Ying Xing would give me his memories of you?"
Spiritual memory will not easily leave the subject.
If the subject is not willing, the pain of forced acquisition would be unbearable even for Shi Hua. Ying Xing's divination technique kept him on guard. If his memories fell into the hands of others, this divination technique would inevitably threaten the balance of the world.
This is also the reason why Lingyuan Pavilion was built on the top of the snow mountain.
Chen Xu admired her intelligence.
"Little Shi Hua is always so surprising. I can't predict it, but as you guessed, I'm betting that the Demon Lord won't sit idly by in the Endless Realm and wait for death. The demons will eventually escape from their seal. As long as you meet them, you'll know the truth about the Gu Yuan Curse... I just didn't expect this bet to last ten thousand years."
In her eyes, the passage of ten thousand years was just a sleep.
When she opened her eyes, she found that the world of immortal cultivation had changed so much that her original plan was forced to end.
At this point, the fate between the master and the disciple has come to an end.
Shi Hua's face turned cold and he turned back into the indifferent Shuyu Immortal.
She stared at the other person's calm face.
Because they were familiar with each other, she knew what Chenxu had not said.
In her original plan, she had not thought that it would take ten thousand years for the demons to escape from the seal, nor had she thought that Shi Hua would grow so quickly, reaching the late stage of tribulation, and even she would not be his opponent.
So she chose to start with the weak points in painting.
She knew Shi Hua's weaknesses too well.
After this incident, Shi Hua will only be more cautious, and it will be difficult for her to do it again.
"Master." Shi Hua suddenly stood up and looked down at her. "This is the last time I will call you this. Our relationship as master and disciple has ended. I will not give you another chance to take over my body."
"not necessarily."
Chen Xu glanced meaningfully at the person standing not far away.
When invading Shi Hua's consciousness, she saw some memories.
Is Hongluan's heart moved? That's interesting.
There was a hint of evil in Chenxu's eyes.
Bang!
The icy aura of the Qingshuang Sword came slashing across unexpectedly.
Chen Xu's illusory figure split into two, staring straight at the coldness in Shi Hua's eyes, and suddenly laughed.
“Found it!”
The Qingshuang Sword struck again.
Chen Xu's figure disappeared completely.
Shi Hua turned and walked towards Wei Shizhou.
With every step she took, the scene behind her crumbled and collapsed, turning into a pitch-black abyss, as if countless hands were waving in it, trying to pull her back.
Wei Shizhou stared at her in amazement.
"draw……"
Shi Hua glanced at the system.
The system shuddered inexplicably.
[Xian-Xian Zun, I am worried about you...]
Shi Hua touched its head without blaming it.
"I'm sorry to have worried you during this period."
She knew how much panic her coma would cause to many people.
As the Immortal Master Shuyu, she cannot fall.
"Let's go, let's go back."
Wei Shizhou pursed his lips and said nothing. He always felt that there was something strange about Shi Hua in front of him. Compared with before, there was a bit more weirdness in him.
But he believed Shi Hua and followed her closely.
The dark abyss pursues relentlessly.
The green land beneath my feet collapsed with my footsteps.
Only Shi Hua could hear the sharp roar in this space.
"You can't get rid of me. I am destined to live and die with you."
"Xiao Shihua, we will meet again."
"How could you bear to leave me alone in the dark? You will definitely come back to be with me. I believe that day is not far away."
"Ah, I really look forward to you becoming like me..."
The expression on the face did not change at all.
The memories sealed by the Heavenly Dao automatically disintegrated because of Chen Xu's act of taking over her body. She recalled many memories and clearly remembered that there was a demon living in her heart.
After killing his master with his own hands, the inner demon began to grow.
The inner demons fostered by a cultivator undergoing tribulation are unknown factors that even the Heavenly Dao fears, so it would rather choose to seal Shi Hua's memory rather than expect her to resolve the inner demons.
Once the inner demon takes root, it will be an endless entanglement.

Chi Qingxuan has been guarding them for seven days.
He temporarily handed the sect's affairs to Qingxuan, and took time to go back and take a look to make sure nothing went wrong. During this period, various sects frequently sent messages asking about the affairs of the demon clan, and Chi Qingxuan could not respond rashly. He had to wait until Shi Hua woke up to find out what the situation was now.
After receiving the third message, Chi Qingxuan sighed with a headache.
Right now, only the demons hiding in the Jianchen Sect have not been fully apprehended.
"Senior sister, when will you wake up?"
Chi Qingxuan suddenly felt like a waste. Apart from managing the sect, all other matters were handled by Shi Hua. Even now that the demons were escaping, she was the one running around to deal with it.
Perhaps his prayers were effective, he actually saw Shi Hua's eyelashes tremble.
Chi Qingxuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, confirming that he was not mistaken, "Senior Sister!"
Shi Hua woke up first, feeling a little dizzy. Suddenly, a dark shadow pounced on the bed, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, I'm fine now."
Chi Qingxuan suppressed his bitterness and said, "Senior Sister, I didn't know how hard your life was before. If you encounter any troubles in the future, please tell me, okay? I am your junior brother, how can I always be protected by you? Now that Master is gone, I should help share your burdens."
Shi Hua guessed that Wei Shizhou had said something to him.
It's rare to see such a gentle expression.
"What happened in the past is all in the past. You are now in charge of the Xuanyin Immortal Sect. Aren't you just helping me share the burden? Do you think I can manage a sect well?"
If we let her take charge of the Xuanyin Immortal Sect, I'm afraid she would be able to blow up the sect within a hundred years.
She doesn't have Chi Qingxuan's patience.
"That's right..." Chi Qingxuan complained silently, "Don't even mention the explosion. You probably don't even know that your sect has been robbed."
Boom.
Shi Hua hit him on the head without any hesitation.
"So, stop saying that I've always been protecting you and you've been protecting me."
When she was in seclusion, he was in charge of the entire sect and he was also helping her to transfer information between the various sects. She only took action when necessary.
She and Chi Qingxuan can't live without each other.
They are senior and junior sisters!
Chi Qingxuan admitted that he was coaxed by her words. The corners of his mouth could not help but rise. He glanced at his apprentice who was still sleeping and asked a question.
"Why hasn't Shizhou woken up yet? Did something happen?"
"You frequently enter the depths of my consciousness, and your spiritual power is greatly depleted. I'll be fine after some sleep."
Hearing this, Chi Qingxuan felt relieved.
At this moment, Qingxuan's voice suddenly interrupted.
"Sect Master, Immortal Venerable, something happened in the Jianchen Sect!"
