Chapter 55 revealed that she was from the Hehuan Sect.
There was no sound outside the house except for the faint sound of the wind.
Apart from them, the other brothers and sisters were either patrolling the city, comforting the people, or following Elder Jiang to deal with other aftermath matters. There was no one else in the entire communication center.
Zhan Yao stood at the door for a moment, completely releasing his spiritual sense, and quickly found the direction of Xu Lian, then quickly followed.
I wanted to call Xu Lian and ask her what she was going to do, but for some reason, I always felt that she looked hurried and a little unnaturally flustered. She also changed into a new robe that I had never seen before, and looked like she didn't want to be discovered by anyone.
This was Beiwu Town, an unfamiliar place. A major battle had just concluded, and the Demon Lord was still nearby. Where was she going? Normally, she would have informed me in advance, but today's behavior was truly unusual.
After thinking about it, Zhan Yao still didn't say anything.
Her cultivation was slightly higher, so she deliberately restrained her breath and followed slowly behind without being discovered at all.
Xu Lian couldn't fly a sword, and there was no teleportation array available, so he could only walk on his own two legs. Because he was seriously injured today, he used a power-saving talisman, and then he could walk lightly and quickly as usual.
After she quickly walked out of the communication center, she walked into the streets lined with houses. In order to avoid meeting other fellow disciples, she deliberately chose to walk through remote and narrow alleys. Once she encountered a crowded place, she would cover her face with her sleeves.
The more Zhan Yao looked, the more she felt something was wrong. Then she looked at the direction she was going and saw that she was actually heading north, which immediately made her more suspicious.
Until they left Beiwu Town and arrived at the area in the north of the town, which was temporarily inspected and cleaned by the Demon Lord Cang Yan and his men.
From afar, in the pitch-black desert, there were bonfires burning quietly, blown by the cold wind from time to time. Most of the monks in the Demon Realm wore gray-black robes, and their appearance was not as neat as that of most ordinary monks. Many of them had long hair and their black robes were particularly loose.
At first glance, they are very different from the righteous monks we usually see.
Although the Demon Realm has been rectified by Cang Yan over the years and is no longer like it used to be, with evil cultivators causing troubles in the world, but has instead cooperated with the three major sects of the Immortal Realm Continent and lived in peace with each other, for young cultivators like them who grew up under the glory of the so-called "righteous path", it always feels a bit strange and weird.
What are you doing here at this time?
Zhan Yao could no longer sit idly by, so she quickened her pace and caught up with Xu Lian in front.
"Alian, what are you going to do?"
Xu Lian's back froze, and she quickly turned around, her face a little flustered with surprise. She twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "I, I didn't do anything. I was just looking around. But you, Ayao, why are you here?"
"I followed you." Zhan Yao naturally wouldn't be fooled. She was as blunt as usual and said coldly, "Senior Brother Chu told us not to go out unless necessary. But you insisted on going out, and you chose to come here. Ah Lian, are you going to tell anyone about Mu Fuyun?"
Xu Lian didn't expect her thoughts to be exposed so quickly. Panic and guilt flashed in her eyes. Knowing Zhan Yao's temperament, she knew that denying it would be useless. She bit her lip and said simply, "So what? I just want the Demon Lord to know that after Senior Sister Mu fell, her sister, who had no feelings for her, took over the position and relied on her face—"
Having said that, she changed the subject and looked at Zhan Yao angrily.
"Ayao, aren't you angry? Don't you hate her? You've always been number one. Why did everything change after she came? I've seen you practice sword skills day and night for so many years. I, I just can't stand it!"
Zhan Yao frowned, surprised by the resentment in her tone, but also disagreeing with what she said.
"As a cultivator, naturally, everything is based on strength. I'm diligent, but things in this world can never be solved by diligence alone. People are different. I practice swordsmanship diligently because I don't want to have any regrets. Besides, how do you know that Mu Fuyun's swordsmanship isn't as diligent as mine? Maybe she works even harder than me?"
Xu Lian stood in front of her with her head slightly lowered. In front of her, she always felt like she couldn't raise her head. She had to bite her lip and try her best to restrain her embarrassment.
Zhan Yao didn't notice her abnormality and continued to speak ruthlessly as usual.
"Alian, why on earth did you do this? I know you're not telling the truth."
She felt that although Xu Lian stood up for her, she would never harbor such malice in her heart just for that reason.
Xu Lian did not answer immediately. She stood there with her head down, her expression changing and becoming distorted before she finally let out the anger that had been pent up in her heart.
"I didn't tell the truth. I didn't want to do this in the first place. Although I disliked her, she had already entered the inner sect, and even the elders accepted her. I was just an ordinary new disciple and had no right to make any comments."
As she spoke, she raised her head and sneered, and the faint firelight from the front covered her face.
"But, do you know what I saw in the secret realm?"
"She, Mu Fuyun, actually seduced Senior Brother Chu!"
At that time, due to the influence of her previous loss of spiritual power, she was unable to enter a state of meditation as quickly as usual. She clearly felt that her body and mind had calmed down, but somehow, she suddenly woke up again.
When he woke up, he saw Mu Fuyu with a spring-like look on her face, twisting her body, looking at Chu Ye with a dazed look!
That look made it difficult for her to speak!
"Do you know what you are saying? That is a dreamland. How do you know if what you see is an illusion?" Zhan Yao subconsciously didn't believe it, but she felt that Xu Lian was not the kind of person who would lie to her.
"I saw it with my own eyes! Ah Yao, you and Yu Cen were both already in a trance at that time. If it weren't for an accident, I should have been in a trance too. But they were sitting together, and the illusion hadn't started yet, so naturally what I saw was real."
At this point, she paused and sneered, "Ayao, you also came out of the illusion. Don't you know that after you come out, it's not difficult to distinguish whether what you experienced is true or false? Besides, if this is my illusion, why did Mu Fuyun appear? You know I don't want to see her at all."
Zhan Yao fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Even if you saw it with your own eyes, why didn't you confront her first? Or perhaps report the matter to the sect and wait for the Sect Master and the elders to deal with it?"
"What's the point? My eldest brother has been bewitched by her and will protect her. Who will believe me then? Who will stand on my side?" Xu Lian shook her head. For the first time, she did not side with Zhan Yao. "You know, I saw her at Fu Ri Peak the day she joined the sect."
"That day was Senior Sister Mu's hundred-day memorial, and everyone has seen her."
"It's different. You saw her in Guizang Palace. Before that, I had already seen her halfway up Fu Ri Peak."
Recalling what happened that day, Xu Lian's eyes were filled with a hint of dazed surprise.
"She was only wearing a thin gauze, barely covering her body. Embroidered on that gauze was the symbol of the Hehuan Sect—Mu Fuyun. She's definitely practicing unorthodox methods and isn't following the right path!"
How could such a person continue to stay in the sect? She had already caused Senior Brother Chu to lose his usual sense of propriety and bottom line. If anyone knew that the Tianyan Sect had accepted a female cultivator from the Hehuan Sect as an inner sect disciple, wouldn't they become the laughing stock of the world?
It would be better to let the Demon Lord take her away.
After hearing this, Zhan Yao didn't know what to say for a moment.
She was also very shocked. She didn't expect that Mu Fuyun had such an unknown past.
The Hehuan Sect was not a good place. Not only were those on the righteous path to immortality scorned, but even most demonic cultivators looked down upon it. It was a truly devious sect, always existing in the shadows.
But she had fought with Mu Fuyun and had also seen Mu Fuyun practicing sword alone. Apart from his weak foundation, he was clearly no different from other disciples.
Did you really use some evil methods?
She always felt that the truth was not so.
In this moment of daze, Xu Lian suddenly stuck several energy-saving talismans on his body and ran towards where the demon cultivators were at an extremely fast speed.
"Alian!"
Caught off guard, Zhan Yao shouted loudly and quickly chased after him on his sword.
However, before he could catch up, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the dark night.
A pale face with a strange smile floated above the black robe, blocking her way.
"Don't be busy, fellow Daoist. The Demon Lord invites you two to come over and have a chat."
Zhan Yao's heart tightened, guessing that the Demon Lord had noticed what they had just done.
But this place is clearly some distance away from their temporary camp.
The man twitched his lips and said in a rather smug tone, "The Demon Lord is the master of the Demon Realm. He is stationed here, so naturally the security is tight. You two fellow Taoists, don't think that we demon cultivators are all vegetarians, do you?"
This was exactly what Xu Lian wanted, so she naturally had no objection. She nodded repeatedly and urged the man to take her there quickly.
Although Zhan Yao was reluctant, she knew that she could not escape this time, so she had to grit her teeth and follow.
…
In the communication center, Mu Fuyun circulated the energy in his body for twenty-eight small cycles and twenty-eight large cycles before he felt his energy flowing smoothly, peacefully and steadily.
It shouldn't happen for the time being.
She slowly opened her eyes, stood up to stretch her muscles, and touched the crystal piece on her chest. She felt that the coldness emanating from it had diminished a lot. It was warmed by her body temperature, and she had the illusion of being one with it.
In the secret realm, it saved her once and dragged her back when she was almost lost in it.
I don’t know how my master is doing. If he opens the cave and comes out, has he heard what happened here?
Secretly, she didn't want her master to know, as she didn't want to disturb his meditation. But since there was a trace of divine consciousness in the crystal, even if she didn't want to know, she would still feel something.
Although she knew that Jiang Hanqiu and others must have passed the news back long ago, she still took out the jade token from the mustard seed bag and planned to personally convey the message to Xie Hanyi.
But after writing and deleting for a long time, I still don’t know what to say.
If she were to talk about what happened in Beiwu Town, it would take hundreds of words to explain it clearly. She always felt that a person as extraordinary as Xie Hanyi should not be disturbed with such long-winded things.
After thinking about it, I only said one sentence.
"Disciple has emerged safely from the secret realm and wishes Master well."
After delivering the message, he put the jade token down and planned to continue meditating.
Unexpectedly, before I could sit down, a cold wind blew in from outside the door, sneaking in through the cracks in the door and window, instantly making the room, which was not very hot to begin with, even cooler.
It's the middle of summer, and even in the desert, it shouldn't be like this.
Mu Fuyun's heart moved, and he stopped meditating. He stood up, opened the door and looked outside.
Outside the door, the frosty moonlight condensed, illuminating a pitch-black figure.
The dark robe, pale cheeks, and feminine yet gorgeous facial features, reflected in the bleak frosty white, are inexplicably creepy.
