"Everyone, everything I'm about to say is true, but there must be many misunderstandings." Shi Lidan looked at the silent crowd, took another deep breath, and said softly and clearly, word by word: "Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu revealed his secret in order to save Junior Sister Yan."
"He... is a half-demon!"
The treatment room fell into silence. Everyone maintained the same posture as before, with no change in expression. Even their eyes didn't blink, as if they were frozen in place.
Shi Lidan knew that everyone in the room had heard clearly what he had just said, but they just hadn't reacted yet, or didn't want to admit it, just like they had done in the ice room, pretending not to see, pretending not to notice.
But the fact is the fact. No matter how unwilling you are to believe it, no matter how unwilling you are to admit it, no matter how cruel it is, it is a fact that cannot be changed.
"Later, Senior Leng Shuo took Junior Sister Yan away."
As if wanting to get over this matter quickly, Shi Lidan immediately continued speaking.
"When we were about to separate from the people from the Tianji Pavilion, the two saviors from the White Eyed Ghost Realm suddenly appeared in the sky. They tore through the void and suddenly appeared..."
Shi Lidan emphasized the words "lifesaver".
"Haha, it turns out their approach was all a conspiracy. They're not Yan Li and Huo Feng at all. It turns out one is the young master of the demon clan, Mo Li, and the other is the ancient fire phoenix, a mythical beast."
"They approached us because of Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu. He seems to have the key to unlock the seal of the Hidden Demon Sea."
"Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu didn't do anything to harm the sect during his time there. He revealed his identity to us in order to save Junior Sister Yan..."
"Master, elders, how will you deal with this junior brother?"
Shi Lidan finished speaking in one breath. He couldn't help rubbing his stiff cheeks, and then he let out a long breath.
Shi Lidan continued, "I don't know what's happening to Junior Sister Yan right now. She probably doesn't know what's happening with Zang Mo..."
"She hasn't seen Junior Brother's demonic body either, so she probably doesn't know that Junior Brother is half-demon yet."
The elders remained silent, and no one exchanged glances.
"No, Junior Sister Yan should be the first person in the sect to know that Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu is a demon!"
The person who spoke was Liu Chudan, the youngest direct disciple of Ledan Daojun. He was the one who always said that he would "never contract a companion spirit beast", but now he was holding his own half-spiritual beast in his arms - a fiery red fox.
"What do you mean by that?" Guan Kanshu asked. He was the senior brother who was reading books. Because Daojun Leshu stayed behind in the sect, all the disciples from Cangshu Peak who came to Cangmo Sea had to obey his orders.
"During the last sect exam, runner-up Yan Baibai reported the top scorer, Lu Wuxiu, to Fu Guishan. Has everyone forgotten what she said?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Liu Chudan proudly stroked the red-haired fox in his arms and said, "She suspects Lu Wuxiu is a demon. After the exam, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She suspected that Lu Wuxiu used demonic magic on her."
"Indeed, the sect later brought the 'Demon Revealing Water' and the 'Stone of Questioning', but neither of them revealed Lu Wuxiu's half-demon identity." Other direct disciples in the room recalled.
"So, Junior Brother Lu Wuxiu was not a demon at that time, but he possessed hidden demon blood. Things turned out like this because the young demon master must have deliberately awakened Lu Wuxiu's demon blood in order to open the seal of the Demon Sea." Another disciple interrupted.
"That's right, the young master of the Demon Lord must have been planning this matter when he was in the White Eyed Ghost Realm. Otherwise, how can we explain why he has been following Senior Brother Shi Lidan and his team so stubbornly?" The other disciples also began to analyze.
When talking about the White-Eyed Ghost Realm, everyone calmly refrained from mentioning the strange behavior of several men towards their junior sister.
Obviously, the disciples did not want the sect to severely punish Lu Wuxiu.
Sword cultivators dare to love and hate, and they are also clear about gratitude and resentment. Most of them are straightforward and kind-hearted. This is one of the reasons why sword cultivators and body cultivators are called "the two fools of cultivation" in the world of cultivation.
"That's enough. We won't take Lu Wuxiu's life." The Daojun Liaogui, the elder who oversees the laws and regulations of the Yanjian Sect, finally spoke. "However, he can no longer stay in our Yanjian Sect as before."
Some things cannot cross the bottom line, otherwise who knows what consequences will arise.
"Master, Junior Brother Lu...how do you plan to deal with Lu Wuxiu?" Yang Kuan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up and asked.
After being given a look by Lord Guidao, Yang Kuan had no choice but to change his name to Lu Wuxiu.
"From now on, Lu Wuxiu will no longer be a disciple of my Yanjian Sect." The one who spoke was Le Jiandaojun. Even at his age and cultivation level, he could hardly hide his grief and determination at the moment: "If he can come out of the Hidden Demon Sea alive... none of the disciples of Yanjian Sect are allowed to show mercy to him!"
"Yes, sir!" all the disciples responded in unison.
Is it because I'm not cruel enough, or do I hope he can get out alive?
But, that’s all.
Knock knock knock——
Suddenly there were several knocks on the door outside.
"What's the matter?" an elder asked, and with a wave of his hand, the restriction outside the door disappeared.
"There's movement in the Demon Sea. The powerful demons inside are coming out."
"However, the first person to come out was a woman wearing a strange red mask, and behind her was Lu Wuxiu."
"Bring Lu Wuxiu with you?" Daoist Chanyu took a few steps forward anxiously: "It's that stinky girl Yan Baibai, right?"
This is something she can do.
"What they are standing on is indeed a natal sword summoned by the water element, but..."
"But what?" Daoist Chanyu was a little anxious. Everyone rushed to the deck of the spaceship while talking.
"That woman's cultivation has at least reached the level of Lianxu."
After the elder finished speaking, everyone stopped moving forward.
Then, the possibility that the woman was Yan Baibai disappeared, and with this happening, the matter of Lu Wuxiu appearing in Yanjian Sect was no longer as simple as everyone had thought just now.
A half-demon with a Lianxu period backer appeared in Yanjian Sect. Regardless of whether he was here to be a spy, he definitely had ulterior motives.
The elders' expressions instantly grew heavy. But when Daoist Chanyu saw the figure of the woman wearing a red mask in the distance, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up...
