Lu Wuxiu's face was hidden in the darkness. Although Yan Baibai couldn't see his expression clearly, because she was staying in his chest, she could clearly feel his violently beating heart.
Bang~bang~bang~bang~
In the quiet darkness, time passed very slowly.
Yan Baibai didn’t know what Lu Wuxiu was thinking at the moment. She only knew that Lu Wuxiu was in a mess, and she was worried that if he continued like this, he would be discovered by the people below.
If she saw correctly, there were at least three foundation-building cultivators below. Although Lu Wuxiu was also at the foundation-building stage now, two fists could not beat four hands.
I don't know how long the silence lasted before the voice from the people below came again.
"Immortal, when you get the magic sword, can you take us into the immortal gate?" The voice was Lu Shengyang's.
"Lu Shengyang, I will kill you!"
Before the old man could answer, Lian Ji seemed to have finally mustered some strength and screamed like crazy. Soon, a loud slap was heard from inside the cave.
Snap——
Yan Baibai listened and initially thought that Lian Ji had hit Lu Shengyang, but the next moment, Lian Ji's incredulous cry came again: "How dare you hit me in the face?"
It turned out that Lu Shengyang had hit Lian Ji. He just laughed sarcastically and said, "So what if I hit you? Ten years have passed. Lian Ji, do you still think you are the most beautiful girl in the world right after you left the mine? Take a good look at the fine lines at the corners of your eyes!"
"Fine lines?" Lian Ji seemed puzzled. From her voice, one could imagine her touching her face in disbelief. She trembled and said, "I have wrinkles around my eyes. How is this possible?"
Obviously, compared to Lu Shengyang beating her and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she cared more about the latter and could even ignore the former.
"You haven't really looked in the mirror since we set out for the secret realm, right?" Lu Shengyang sneered, then softened his voice and beguiled her, "Lian Ji, we are half-demons, so we do age a little slower than ordinary humans, but we are not true demons after all. If we want to live forever and maintain our youthful appearance, we still have to embark on the path of immortality."
"Yes, is that so?" Lian Ji seemed to have just thought of this.
"Of course, Taoist Qingfeng can help us embark on the path to immortality, and we only need to sacrifice one child. This is something that many people wish for but cannot obtain!" Lu Shengyang saw that Lian Ji was wavering, so he continued, "Lian Ji, after we cultivate immortality, we will have a lot of time. By then, you can have as many Lu Lian periods as you want."
Lian Ji fell silent. Obviously, she had accepted Lu Shengyang's statement.
Seeing this, Lu Shengyang's voice immediately became flattering: "Master Qingfeng, when you get that sword, call..."
"Flame-eating Sword." The old man's voice came.
"Yes, yes, that immortal sword called Flame-loving will surely be invincible. If you want to lead us on the immortal path, it's just a matter of a few words. I'll trouble you then."
"Hmph, once Elder Qingfeng obtains the Flame-eating Sword, he will become the next leader of our Shangqing Sect. If you want to cultivate immortality, it's just a matter of a word from him." A rough male voice took over the conversation. Judging from his tone, he should be the subordinate of Elder Qingfeng.
Seeing that Elder Qingfeng didn't object, the subordinate continued, "Our Shangqing Sect's current leader will be selecting the strongest elder from among the several elders next month to take over the position. Since Elder Qingfeng has obtained the Flame-Eating Sword, he will definitely be the next leader. So, you two better pray that your son's blood will be of use!"
\"It's useful, it must be useful." Lu Shengyang assured repeatedly. Before he could say anything else, a flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly came from below.
"Elder, the situation is not good." The old man who loved drinking came with an urgent voice.
"What happened?" Taoist Qingfeng's usually calm voice was a little nervous. "Is it that boy's blood that's causing the problem?"
"That kid's demonic blood did awaken the Flame-Eating Sword, but..." The old man hesitated and didn't continue.
"But what?" Taoist Qingfeng's tone became stern.
"The Flame-Eating Sword did not recognize that boy as its master." The old man said in a low voice.
"How is this possible?" Taoist Qingfeng obviously hadn't expected such a situation to happen. He turned to look at Lu Shengyang and Lian Ji, and finally fixed his gaze on Lian Ji and asked, "Is that child really yours and Lu Shengyang's?"
"What does this mean, Immortal?" Even though she tried her best to hold it back, there was still some anger in Lian Ji's tone.
Qingfeng suspected that Lu Lianqi was the child of Lian Ji and another man.
"Lian Ji, don't be angry. After all, everyone knows what kind of person you were in the mine." The old man paused and continued, "Although you received our human ethics education after leaving the mine, we can't guarantee that you will abide by it."
"Hmph!" Lian Ji suddenly sneered, not as angry as before. She said, "After I got out, you helped me get back to Lu Shengyang. At first, I thought you were afraid that I would reveal the truth about what happened in the mines, but today I finally understand. All you want is the bloodline of Lu Shengyang and me."
Therefore, these people know better than anyone else whether Lu Lianqi is the child of Lian Ji and Lu Shengyang.
Qingfeng asked this simply to trick Lian Ji. Although they had sent people to guard Lian Ji Lu Shengyang, they weren't watching her day and night. So, the Flame-Eating Sword hadn't contracted successfully. This was the only possibility Qingfeng could think of. But now, seeing Lian Ji's reaction, he knew he was wrong.
