Chapter 53 Demonic Energy (Edited) “Master, that jade spike…”…
Jiang Shutong took the jade tassel and scanned the surroundings. He didn't sense any alien presence, so he felt relieved.
As the upcoming successor to the head of the sect, Jiang Shutong's reaction was unusually calm. He didn't seem surprised by the sudden appearance of the jade tassel. However, just as he was about to leave, his eyes met with the invisible Xie Wuyang's.
He couldn't see Xie Wuyang, but Xie Wuyang could see him clearly. It had to be said that Jiang Shutong was handsome and tall. When he became the sect leader in the future, there would surely be many women vying to be his wife.
The only shortcoming of this new leader is probably the scar on his chin that is hidden in his jaw.
The scar was very light in color, as if it was left recently, making the face no longer so perfect.
Xie Wuyang held his breath until Jiang Shutong was completely gone. Then he turned back to look at Yun Wanzhou, "Master, that jade tassel..."
"I dropped it on purpose." Yun Wanzhou said calmly.
deliberately?
Xie Wuyang frowned slightly and tilted his eyes to look at the ground where the jade tassel had just fallen.
He was a person from five hundred years later, alone in this world of cultivation. Apart from a few people involved with his original body, there was nothing else worthy of his attention.
But Yun Wanzhou is the immortal of Cangqiong Mountain and has some intricate connections with the people in the world. Maybe he wanted to tell someone, so he deliberately left a clue.
The candle in Jiang Lin's room went out, leaving only a ray of moonlight, illuminating the empty surroundings, so that Xie Wuyang would not be in the dark.
Glancing sideways at Yun Wanzhou, Xie Wuyang's eyes were filled with gloomy emotions, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Xie Wuyang didn't believe that Yun Wanzhou didn't see the power of the nightmare stone in Jiang Lin's sword.
Jiang Shutong is Jiang Lin's first disciple and is about to become the head of Lianwu Sect, but Yun Wanzhou chooses to take a risk and leave a hint...
Is he very close to Jiang Shutong?
The current situation does not give Xie Wuyang too much time to sort out this problem. They are in the Wax Apple Sect and may be exposed at any time.
Since the sword in Jiang Lin's room has the aura of the Nightmare Stone, it seems that the Wax Apple Sect is probably involved in the theft of the Nightmare Stone.
Before leaving, Xie Wuyang secretly left a eavesdropping talisman on Jiang Lin's door so that he could always keep an eye on Jiang Lin's movements.
The talisman automatically becomes invisible when it falls on the door, and no one will notice it unless magic is used to detect it.
After finishing everything, Xie Wuyang collected the remaining talisman paper.
The original body was still in its youth. When standing at the same place as Yun Wanzhou, it could only reach below Yun Wanzhou's eyebrows. Now standing on the steps, it could barely keep eye contact with Yun Wanzhou, giving a feeling of being evenly matched in some aspects.
Xie Wuyang looked away and said calmly, "Master, let's go."
As soon as the words fell, a probing gaze suddenly fell on him. Xie Wuyang paused, subconsciously touched the knuckle of his index finger, and pretended to be calm and glanced at Yun Wanzhou's master, "Master, what happened?"
Yun Wanzhou pursed his lips and moved his gaze from Xie Wuyang's face to his wrist.
That was where Xie Wuyang hid Chen Ziyi's spiritual weapon. When Jiang Lin drew out his sword, the two spiritual weapons resonated, and the vibration of the sword body made Jiang Lin aware of it.
Yun Wanzhou was right next to him at the time, could he have noticed it too?
Thinking of this, Xie Wuyang couldn't help but clench his sleeves, crumpling the pattern into a ball and hiding it in his hands.
After hiding the pattern, Xie Wuyang looked at Yun Wanzhou again, only to see that the other party shifted his gaze away without changing his expression and fell on Xie Wuyang's face, as if he had easily seen through everything and noticed Xie Wuyang's little movements.
"The same spiritual energy is inductively linked, and the power of the Nightmare Stone is the same." Yun Wanzhou waved his hand slightly, and the pattern on Xie Wuyang's cuff flashed twice. "You have Chen Ziyi's sword in your hand, so you must always remember to be careful and don't reveal your true identity again."
After Yun Wanzhou finished speaking, Xie Wuyang came back to his senses belatedly, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
Yun Wanzhou's reaction...
Could it be that he already knew that Chen Ziyi's sword was in his hand?
Xie Wuyang pursed his lips. He never expected that although he thought he had hidden it very well, it had actually been exposed to others.
Just as he was thinking about whether to find some excuses for his secret possession of spiritual weapons, a loud noise suddenly came from the side.
A dazzling light fell from the sky. Xie Wuyang subconsciously covered his eyes and took two steps back until an arm held his waist, and he was able to stabilize his body.
boom--
A huge amount of spiritual energy fell on the ground in front of the two people, accompanied by a noisy voice that was getting closer and closer, "Who is trespassing in the Lianwu Gate?!"
Yun Wanzhou's brows furrowed, and without caring about anything else, he grabbed Xie Wuyang's hand and jumped onto a tree nearby.
The moment the two men steadied themselves, disciples of the Lotus Mist Sect came one after another and surrounded the place where the fire fell.
"How dare you, you cunning bastard, trespass into my Lianwu Sect? Why don't you show yourself?"
Xie Wuyang stared at the disciples of the Lianwu Sect at his feet with a cold look.
This group of people must have gathered temporarily. They hurriedly put on their swords and came here. Now they are in a mess and huddled together.
The falling flames created a pit several meters deep. The disciples pushed and shoved each other, but no one dared to go forward to check.
Jiang Lin's door opened from the inside, revealing his wrinkled face.
Compared to what Xie Wuyang and Yun Wanzhou saw, Jiang Lin's face was pale at the moment, and he looked like he would die at any time. There was no trace of the demeanor of drawing a sword in the house.
The moment Jiang Lin appeared, the disciples' discussions stopped abruptly and they became as quiet as a chicken.
When the leading disciple came to his senses, he looked at Jiang Lin with a look of fear, took a step back, bowed, and stammered, "Greetings, Master."
The leading disciple was named Han Kun. He had been in the Lianwu Sect for more than ten years and was considered the leader among all the disciples. He had always been a well-behaved person and was quite afraid of the Sect Leader Jiang Lin. Even his disciple Jiang Shutong did not dare to show any disrespect to him.
Jiang Lin frowned and glanced at the disciples, then asked Han Kun, "What happened?"
After saying that, he coughed violently twice and trembled all over, as if he was going to vomit out all his internal organs.
Han Kun hurried forward to help, his hands interjected and grabbed Jiang Lin's arm first.
Jiang Shutong said respectfully, "The autumn nights are chilly. Master, you should return to your room early. I will leave this place to you."
"Senior Brother Jiang..." Han Kun raised his eyes cautiously, "I'm afraid the Sect Master will need to be in charge this time."
"Why?" Jiang Shutong asked with a frown.
"There's something wrong with the mountain protection formation. We've detected the presence of demons."
Monster Breath...
Hearing these four words, Xie Wuyang lowered his head and looked at his hands.
The restraints in his body caused by Yun Wanzhou were broken by the Iceberg Snow Lotus, and the demonic aura was no longer suppressed. It was all under his own control.
When Yun Wanzhou discovered that he had secretly hidden Chen Ziyi's spiritual weapon, he did use his spiritual power. Could it be that he was discovered?
Xie Wuyang narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Lin broke free from Jiang Shutong's hand, dragged himself to the deep pit, bent down and looked inside.
The deep pit was filled with black fog, and the remaining spiritual energy of the demons rushed towards him.
The aura was powerful and overbearing. Even if there was only a slight residue, it had the intention of attacking when Jiang Lin poked his head out. If Jiang Shutong had not reacted in time and pulled Jiang Lin back, given Jiang Lin's current sick appearance, he would probably have been injured.
"Master, be careful." Jiang Shutong said anxiously.
Jiang Lin turned his gaze towards him indifferently, as if he was looking at someone insignificant. He did not thank him, but instead calmly removed his arm from being pulled and said coldly, "It's okay."
Compared to Yun Wanzhou, Jiang Lin is arrogant and looks down on everyone, as if he wants to ignore everyone.
Xie Wuyang saw his expression clearly and couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart.
Jiang Shutong also had a good temper. He didn't seem to care at all when Jiang Lin treated him so coldly. Instead, he quietly and obediently retreated behind Jiang Lin, acting as a foil.
"Where did you sense the demonic aura?" Jiang Lin asked.
Han Kun said, "Reporting to the Sect Leader, today I was on Xun Ye's day, and while checking the mountain protection formation as usual, I suddenly saw an unusual movement in the formation. By the time I arrived at the location of the movement, I found a crack in the formation."
"You mean, the demons broke through the mountain protection formation and sneaked in directly?" Jiang Shutong frowned.
"That's right." Han Kun said.
The mountain protection formation of the Lianwu Sect is equivalent to the combat power of the entire Lianwu Sect. If someone can break through the mountain protection formation and sneak in silently, his strength must be extraordinary.
The spiritual light that descended from the sky must have been caused by the intruder's spiritual power going out of control when he split the mountain protection formation.
"Did you see any suspicious people nearby at that time?" Jiang Shutong asked again.
Han Kun shook his head: "No."
"Since no one is here, let's disperse first. I will call the elders to discuss this matter and conduct a comprehensive investigation of the Wax Apple Sect." A dark light flashed in Jiang Lin's eyes, and he looked up at Han Kun.
Han Kun swallowed his saliva and respectfully followed Jiang Lin's words, "If the master says so..."
Before the word "yes" fell, Jiang Shutong interrupted the conversation forcefully, his voice cold, "No."
Jiang Lin's eyes turned cold, and his tone was unfriendly, "Don't forget, as long as the Wax Apple Ceremony is not completed, you are not the head of the sect!"
Jiang Shutong took a deep breath and explained, "I don't mean to disobey Master, but that demon is hiding in the dark, and his purpose is unknown. We must find him immediately, without any delay."
Jiang Lin raised his chin and snorted coldly, "A mere demon clan member can throw you off balance. How can we allow him to easily shake the century-old foundation of our Lotus Mist Sect?"
Jiang Shutong frowned and moved his lips slightly. Before he could say anything to dissuade her, he heard a clear sound of something moving beside his ear.
A figure flashed past his eyes, and in an instant it was about to run into the woods in Jiang Lin's courtyard to hide. Jiang Shutong pushed with his palm, and a powerful spiritual power burst out, directly hitting the place where the movement occurred.
A muffled groan came from the edge of the woods. The man used the tree trunk to steady his body and tried to jump out of the tree with his toes to escape. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, a stone suddenly hit his left knee, causing him to kneel on the ground without noticing.
Jiang Shutong leaped in front of the black shadow, pointing the sword at his forehead, "What exactly do you want to do by sneaking into Lianwu?"
Xie Wuyang half-crouched on the tree, watching the scene for a moment. Suddenly, with a smile on his face, he turned his head to look at Yun Wanzhou and said, "Master, if my guess is correct, this is going to be a good show."
Xie Wuyang thought that he had accidentally leaked the evil spirit, which attracted the people from the Wax Apple Sect. When he caught a glimpse of the sneaky figure out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly felt relieved.
Yun Wanzhou frowned upon hearing this and said, "Don't act so rashly in the future."
Hearing the indulgence in Yun Wanzhou's words, Xie Wuyang stared at the figure at his feet, his eyes full of amusement, but he nodded very obediently, "Disciple will remember this."
But now the matter is done, and he has already used a little trick to add fuel to the fire. It would be a pity if we don't watch the rest of the show.
