Chapter 31: Sneak Attack "Yun Wanzhou, you are the Immortal Lord of Cangqiong Mountain, your hand...
"Are you really Yun Wanzhou's disciple?" Elder Lianwu looked grim.
Xie Wuyang nodded, "Every word is true."
"How did your master mention me to you?"
Xie Wuyang made up a story, "He said Elder Lianwu has an immortal demeanor and is kind to others. He's a rare good immortal."
"Did he really say that?" Xie Wuyang never mentioned Elder Lianwu's attack on Anan, causing Elder Lianwu to relax his guard.
"Every word is true. My master also said that if he has the chance, he will definitely make a close acquaintance with you and discuss the true meaning of cultivation."
Xie Wuyang couldn't help but emphasize the words "the true meaning of cultivation", with an unclear meaning.
Elder Lianwu was so engrossed in Xie Wuyang's praise that he didn't notice these details. "There's no need to discuss this. After all, I, Lianwu, have my own secret techniques for cultivation, which cannot be passed on to others."
Elder Lianwu waved his hand and added, "Even the Immortal Lord Cangqiong can't do it."
Xie Wuyang sighed inwardly, but said, "That's such a shame. My master was looking forward to making friends with you every day."
Elder Lianwu said, "Immortal Yun is so kind. I too hope to have a friendship with you."
"What the elder means is..."
"If there is a chance in the future, I hope to meet with the Immortal Venerable Zuixianlou."
Xie Wuyang pretended to be overjoyed, "That's great! I'll go back and tell my master about it. I'll visit Lianwumen someday."
After saying this, Xie Wuyang turned around and tried to leave, but as soon as he turned around, the person behind him said, "Wait."
Xie Wuyang paused, turned around, a smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes, and asked, "Elder, is there anything else you would like to entrust to this disciple?"
"Cultivators in the world of cultivation have always kept spiritual weapons with them," Elder Lianwu frowned, looking suspiciously at the sword in Xie Wuyang's hand, "Why did Yun Wanzhou give the sword to you?"
"Or..." Elder Lianwu suddenly narrowed his eyes, "He is nearby."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wind around him suddenly rushed over, and a figure suddenly attacked. The strong spiritual power pressed down on Xie Wuyang's chest, and then a muffled sound came from behind him.
"Puff, cough, cough..." Elder Lianwu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight to the ground.
Yun Wanzhou landed on the ground with her toes, stared at her right hand which had not yet been retracted, and pursed her lips.
"Master." Xie Wuyang's face darkened and he quickly walked up to Yun Wanzhou. He was about to ask him why he used his spiritual power, but when he saw Yun Wanzhou's expression, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
As the Immortal Lord of the Sky, Yun Wanzhou has a lot of experience. It is impossible for him not to be unaware of the rule that spiritual power cannot be used in illusion memories. Could it be that there is something strange about this illusion?
As if to confirm Xie Wuyang's guess, Yun Wanzhou frowned, "This illusion is wrong."
It was not Yun Wanzhou's intention to attack in the illusion. He originally wanted to follow Xie Wuyang and ensure his safety. Unexpectedly, his body was suddenly controlled by something, and he went against his will and attacked an important figure in his memory - Elder Lianwu.
Xie Wuyang half-knelt down and probed Elder Lianwu's neck, his brows relaxed a little, "There's air."
As long as the important characters don't die, they can find a way to get the story back on track.
After all, his spiritual power had been activated, so Xie Wuyang no longer cared about it. He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, skillfully drew a talisman to immobilize the body, and slapped it on Elder Lianwu.
He suddenly remembered that Elder Lianwu had a high level of cultivation, and fearing that the immobilization talisman would reveal something, he untied the red string on his wrist and tied Elder Lianwu to the tree behind him.
Anan stood aside. Although he was much more mature than other children at such a young age, he witnessed the entire process of Xie Wuyang's crime with a calm expression.
It was not until Xie Wuyang tied the red rope that bound Elder Lianwu into a knot behind the tree that he remembered An Nan's existence.
While he was pondering An Nan's removal with a troubled look on his face, An Nan took the initiative to step forward and walked towards Yun Wanzhou, "Immortal Yun, is he really your disciple?"
As he spoke, he cast a meaningful look at Xie Wuyang.
Xie Wuyang looked at the two of them nonchalantly.
Yun Wanzhou admitted frankly, "Yes."
"Why did the Immortal Lord lie to me when he was in Ye Mansion?"
Yun Wanzhou looked indifferent. "There's a reason for this. I'm sorry I won't tell you."
He and Xie Wuyang were originally people outside this fantasy world. In order to ensure that the story reached the predetermined ending, they could not disturb any part of the memory, and the fewer people who knew about their identities and appearances, the better.
Anan nodded, seeming to calmly accept the fact that Yun Wanzhou had deceived her. She sat down next to the leader of the Lianwu Sect and said, "Do you need me too? I can cooperate."
"Of course it is necessary." Xie Wuyang did not stop Anan's actions. He leaned against a tree nearby and waited for Elder Lianwu to wake up.
Maybe it was because he had been on the right path for too long, but Xie Wuyang felt that he had become more conscientious. Looking at An Nan who was sitting there obediently, he couldn't help but feel a little more reluctant.
If Ye Nan knew that what she agreed to now was a compromise with her inevitable death, would she be sad?
A light cough was heard, and Xie Wuyang stopped thinking and looked at Elder Lianwu who was slowly waking up.
Elder Lianwu was a little confused about his situation and looked around blankly. When he met Yun Wanzhou's face, his expression suddenly became clear.
"Yun Wanzhou, you are the Immortal Lord of Cangqiong Mountain, yet you resorted to despicable means and actually attacked me by surprise! You have no shame!!"
Yun Wanzhou turned a deaf ear to Elder Lianwu's insults and didn't even glance at him.
Xie Wuyang walked forward, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at him, "Why did you bring Miss Ye out?"
"Why should I tell you?" The elder turned his face away stubbornly.
In less than a moment, a hand forcefully pulled it back. Xie Wuyang half-knelt down and met the elder's angry eyes. "Is this to practice evil magic?"
The elder's breath hitched, and he looked at him in disbelief. "How did you know?"
A cold light flashed across Xie Wuyang's eyes. He raised his hand and tapped the back of his neck through his collar. "Your collar is too small. To be on the safe side, next time you should change to something that covers your face."
The elder's face turned pale and blue, and he said in humiliation, "What do you want to do?"
"Didn't I just ask you to bring Miss Ye out?" Xie Wuyang said with a cold expression, his tone suddenly becoming sharp. "What exactly do you want to do?"
"I want to take her as my disciple." The elder gritted his teeth.
"Then it seems to me that you just wanted to kill someone."
"Bah!" Elder Lianwu's eyes widened. "You are slandering me."
Xie Wuyang made an impatient "tsk" sound and waved the Broken Snow Sword under the elder's lower abdomen. "If you don't speak, I will make sure you have no descendants."
A blatant threat.
Elder Lianwu shuddered with fear and stepped back, "You...you don't do anything rash..."
Xie Wuyang blinked innocently, "But my hands are shaking, what should I do?"
Elder Lianwu was trembling all over. Just as the tip of the Broken Snow Sword was about to pierce through the elder's clothes, Elder Lianwu finally couldn't bear it anymore and roared in disbelief, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! I'm an evil cultivator!"
The tip of the sword stopped just an inch away from his pants. Xie Wuyang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you bring Miss Ye out?"
The elder was almost crying. "Since you know about the evil cultivators, you must also know the devouring method they often use. I heard that Miss Ye is born with a spiritual body and is possessed by a ghost. That's why I hid it from the Lianwu Sect and approached Miss Ye under the pretext of coming down the mountain to recruit disciples."
"What else?" Xie Wuyang shook the Snow-Breaking Sword.
"What else...what else..." Elder Lianwu said with a sad face, stammering, "I really only did this much..."
"A natural spirit body, born from the meridians, blood and flesh, how can it be devoured?"
"I……"
"Miss Ye will die, right?" Xie Wuyang asked back.
Elder Lianwu knew he couldn't hide anything, so he could only reveal everything, "Yes... that's right, but I will be careful. I only need a little bit of my natural spirit body and won't hurt Ye Nan."
Xie Wuyang is not a good person, and he would not risk his life for someone who has already died.
Perhaps watching An Nan heading towards his predetermined fate reminded him of his younger self, Xie Wuyang turned around and glanced at Ye Nan's expression.
The little girl was quite calm and just stood quietly by and watched the scene.
Xie Wuyang turned around, suppressed the kindness that suddenly rose in his heart, and untied Elder Lianwu. "Just pretend you haven't seen us today. We won't stop you from following your own plan."
"You...you really can't do it?" Elder Lianwu was skeptical about Xie Wuyang's words.
Xie Wuyang said "hmm".
Although he didn't know what the other party was planning, Elder Lianwu was still beaming with joy at having his hands free again. He flattered and said, "If I can ascend, I will definitely tell Yun Xianzun all the secrets of cultivation so that he can also break through to the Mahayana perfection and achieve his long-cherished wish."
Xie Wuyang knew that Elder Lianwu had misunderstood something. Seeing Yun Wanzhou's face becoming increasingly ugly, he hurriedly kicked the elder and said, "Get out of here now."
Elder Lianwu was unhappy, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. He walked towards Ye Nan with a smile.
Being tossed around like an object, Ye Nan still had no extra expression on his face, and the sadness and anger that Xie Wuyang had expected were not apparent at all.
Before leaving, Ye Nan tugged at Yun Wanzhou's sleeve and said, "After this farewell, Anan doesn't know when he will be able to see the Immortal Venerable again. Could the Immortal Venerable give Anan something as a token of remembrance?"
"I don't have anything on me." Yun Wanzhou answered truthfully.
Anan knew that he could not get anything from Yun Wanzhou. Even though he was unwilling, he still let go and let Elder Lianwu take him away.
Indistinctly, she seemed to have already known her destined ending.
Just before Anan's figure disappeared from Xie Wuyang's sight, Xie Wuyang glanced and suddenly saw a black mud spot on Yun Wanzhou's cuff.
Xie Wuyang initially thought it was some dirt, until Yun Wanzhou moved his wrist and the mud spot flashed for a moment.
"Master, don't move."
Yun Wanzhou paused and looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
Xie Wuyang stretched out his hand and rubbed Yun Wanzhou's sleeve, then frowned suddenly, "Master, it's a talisman."
Being at a higher realm, it was difficult for anyone to get close to Yun Wanzhou, let alone cast any spell on him without him noticing.
It was obvious that among the people present just now, Elder Lianwu had the highest cultivation level, but he was almost fainted by Yun Wanzhou's beating, and he definitely had no intention of doing these little tricks. Apart from Xie Wuyang, the only person present was Ye Nan.
But hasn’t Ye Nan learned any magic?
Xie Wuyang suddenly thought of all the strange things that happened after he and Yun Wanzhou entered the illusion.
First, the illusion's spiritual power fluctuated, causing the two to appear. Then, Yun Wanzhou's body was controlled. Suddenly, he attacked, his brow furrowed as he said, "Master, when you attacked, you also said that this illusion is not right?"
Yun Wanzhou said "hmm".
"If it was really Anan who cast the curse, then Master's attack was probably also her doing."
Thinking of this, Xie Wuyang secretly said that it was not good. They might have fallen into the trap of the master of the illusion.
"How's things going with Senior Brother Xu?" Xie Wuyang suddenly asked.
Yun Wanzhou checked the other end of the talisman and said, "I've found Yuqin."
Xie Wuyang narrowed his eyes, "That's good."
In this way, they can investigate the purpose of the owner of the illusion.
