Chapter 58: Brother, I need to go to Beiwu Town in person.
Cang Yan suddenly fell silent.
It's not that he hasn't heard of Chu Ye and Song Xinghe who practiced the soul-nourishing technique. As the Demon Lord, even though he has only been in charge of the Demon Realm for a few years, he knows something about these little-known and unethical methods used by demon cultivators.
"If the Demon Lord doesn't believe it, he can always send an envoy to Tianyan to find out the truth."
"The so-called righteous path turns out to be so vicious and dark." Cang Yan sneered and said, "They are just hypocrites."
"The Demon Lord is right. They're all hypocrites." Mu Fuyun nodded, agreeing deeply, but not hiding anything. "However, right now, they still don't know how the Soul Nourishing Technique actually brings the dead back to life."
"But you know." He looked at Mu Fuyun's expression, absolutely certain of this fact, "Why do you still want to stay in Tianyan?"
Once the soul is complete, the soul-raising technique will take away the body of the donor. Without a body, the donor's soul will be scattered and annihilated in the cycle of reincarnation.
He couldn't understand why, since he knew the result, he could still speak of it so calmly, as if he wasn't talking about his own business at all.
"The reason I stay in Tianyan is naturally to become stronger." Mu Fuyun looked at the gorgeous and dazzling decorations around him, walked out of the shadow blocked by the eaves, stepped over the high threshold, and walked to the center of light.
There were eternally burning lamps hanging on three walls, and the glittering light shone from all directions onto her body, illuminating her entire body, making every inch of her clear and distinct.
Her face is like white jade, her eyes are like gems, and her every move reveals extraordinary brilliance.
Cang Yan was more and more surprised: "The Soul Nurturing Technique won't take long."
The blood of a loved one is like good medicine; the closer the relationship, the better the effect. Mu Fuyun is Mu Fuyue's biological sister. As long as she is properly cared for, her broken soul can be repaired in a few years.
In the world of immortal cultivation where time often lasts for decades or even hundreds of years, a few years is as short as the blink of an eye or a drop in the ocean.
"What makes you think you can become stronger in just a few years? Besides, even if you can advance quickly, how can you be higher than Chu Ye?"
No matter how strong he becomes, he cannot escape the clutches of Chu Ye and Song Xinghe, and now there is one more person.
"If I don't try, how can I know what the final result will be?" Mu Fuyun held his head high, smiling brightly, not showing any fear at all.
It sounds really naive, so naive that one can't help but feel pity for him.
Cang Yan sat high up, looking at her with a look that was almost sympathetic: "Are you trying to gain my sympathy in this way?"
"Unfortunately, I'm not one of those 'righteous' monks. I don't have that much compassion, and I don't care about hypocrisy. In my opinion, exchanging life for life is nothing."
Yue'er saved his life. As long as he could keep her alive, he didn't care what the cost.
The soul-nourishing technique is an evil technique that shortens one's lifespan, and even demonic cultivators dare not try it lightly, fearing that they will be punished by heaven and their future cultivation will be affected.
But he was not afraid. In order to repay his gratitude, he would even give up his life.
Mu Fuyun knew more or less what he was thinking. Although he found it funny, he did not defend himself but just sighed helplessly.
"I failed miserably in not being able to soften the Demon Lord's heart." She smiled and shook her head, acting dejected. "Since that's the case, I might as well accept my fate and enjoy these final days. You all have to protect me, regardless of whether you need me or not. This way, it's much more comfortable and fulfilling than my life in the Hehuan Sect."
She intentionally revealed that she had once been in the Hehuan Sect, hinting to Cang Yan about the weaknesses of his own body.
While the Hehuan Sect wasn't entirely demonic, it was located at the border of immortals and demons, and as such, it wasn't a righteous sect, naturally closer to the Demon Realm. Hehuan Sect leader Jieyou was known to be a mellow person, having for years supported the Demon Lord. Perhaps, to alleviate her unique physique, they had to start with Cangyan.
Cang Yan lived up to expectations and quickly grasped the key point. He immediately frowned and said, "You actually joined the Hehuan Sect. How filthy."
Even the Demon Lord despised her past. In the eyes of outsiders, the cultivators of the Hehuan Sect were all those who could not follow the path of cultivation and wanted to take shortcuts by such means.
However, few people ever achieve enlightenment. Most who join the Hehuan Sect ultimately become mere cauldrons, aiding others in their cultivation while themselves becoming mere tools, discarded after use.
"Yes, it is my dirty blood that nourishes my sister's soul. In the future, I will give this body to my sister."
As Cang Yan listened, his expression gradually turned cold from pity, and his eyes became darker.
He knew a little about what methods the Hehuan Sect had.
"Get out."
He flicked his sleeves and said coldly.
Mu Fuyun did not leave, but remained in the center of the main hall and asked openly, "Excuse me, Lord Demon, where will you place me?"
Cang Yan felt that she was provoking him with a nonchalant, nonchalant attitude. However, for the sake of her face and the fact that he would need her in the future, he held back.
With an expressionless face, he pointed a puppet made of jade in and took Mu Fuyun to a room not far to the west to rest. He then called his men in and passed on a handwritten order to Jieyou, the leader of the Hehuan Sect.
…
Beiwu Town, Communication Center.
Chu Ye and Song Xinghe reported the news that Mu Fuyun was kidnapped to Jiang Hanqiu.
At that time, Jiang Hanqiu had just finished listening to how his disciples were comforting the people in various places, and happened to be with Yun Ni.
When Yun Ni heard this, she was furious. She jumped up and shouted that she wanted to take all the disciples who remained in Beiwu Town with her, cross the realm between immortals and demons, and go to the Demon Palace to ask Cang Yan for the person.
She has always been straightforward and can't stand seeing her people being bullied, which is quite like her teacher's style.
She originally thought that her master Jiang Hanqiu would fully support her idea, but unexpectedly, Jiang Hanqiu just glanced at her and did not agree.
"Master, although Junior Sister Mu is not a disciple of our Luoxia Peak, we are both disciples of Tianyan. How can we just sit back and watch her being abducted?" Yun Ni was really anxious.
Jiang Hanqiu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Yun Ni, your master understands your feelings. Fellow disciples shouldn't be divided based on faction or clan affiliation. However, this matter concerns the Demon Lord. The peace we have now in both the Immortal and Demon Realms has been incredibly hard to come by. We must not act rashly. We should ask our headmaster to send a message to the Demon Lord to discuss matters."
Yun Ni pursed her lips, knowing she was telling the truth. However, she was concerned about her fellow disciples and felt Cang Yan's actions were too arrogant, completely disregarding Tian Yan and seeming rather provocative. Unwillingly, she said, "Master is right. So, what about Junior Sister Mu? The Demon Lord is coming with such a strong momentum, I'm afraid she won't have an easy time."
Jiang Hanqiu was silent for a moment, then made a quick decision. "You stay here and wait for the Sect Master's instructions. I'll go alone. If anything does happen, I'll take the responsibility personally and won't bring any trouble to the Sect."
"Master!" Yun Ni immediately shouted in opposition, "Let me go! Master is the master of a peak, how can you ask me to take risks?"
Chu Ye and Song Xinghe also stepped forward and expressed their willingness to go alone to deal with the matter on Jiang Hanqiu's behalf.
Jiang Hanqiu was a straightforward person who spoke quickly and bluntly, which had offended many people. However, he never backed down at critical moments and was always more capable of shouldering responsibilities than others. Therefore, although everyone in the sect was dissatisfied with Luoxia Peak, most of them were very convinced of it.
"Nonsense!" Jiang Hanqiu frowned, displaying the authority of an elder. "You guys, normally, have decent cultivation within the sect, but outside, you're just fools with a few years more experience than a fledgling. How can you possibly handle the Demon Lord?"
With their cultivation level, if the Demon Lord used all his spiritual power, he would be able to subdue them with just a wave of his hand.
After hearing these words, the three of them felt extremely ashamed.
Without waiting for their answer, Jiang Hanqiu quickly explained many matters concerning the three people staying here, then he walked out of the house and flew towards the Demon Realm on his sword.
At the same time, the news was sent directly from Beiwu Town to the Tianyan Sect far to the east.
It happened that Xie Hanyi came out of the cave in Lingshanze and personally visited Guizang Hall to ask Qi Yuanbai about the status of the new disciple's mission.
Qi Yuanbai hadn't expected him to be so concerned about this and said in surprise, "It seems that Junior Brother is very satisfied with this new disciple. He even shows such concern when he goes out on missions. I remember that you rarely leave Lingshanze on weekdays, but now, for her, you have come out twice."
Xie Hanyi touched the area of his heart and frowned, "I just think she might have encountered some kind of accident."
"Something did happen in the Western Desert," Qi Yuanbai replied, stroking his beard and nodding. "Demon cultivators who had been revived in the forbidden area appeared there. They were caught off guard and requested support from the sect, then temporarily took refuge in the secret realm. However, new news has arrived. Support arrived in time, and the situation has been resolved. They have also emerged from the secret realm and are probably currently resting in Beiwu Town."
After hearing this, Xie Hanyi calmed down a little: "That's good."
But for some reason, he always felt that there was something else that they didn't know yet.
Qi Yuanbai smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Mu Fuyun, I didn't like this child very much at first. However, since she became your disciple, you've become more and more popular. This is very good, it shows that this child does have some strengths."
Xie Hanyi quickly caught the words "I don't like it very much" in his words, and a flash of disapproval flashed in his eyes.
On this matter, he has always disagreed with Qi Yuanbai's opinion.
However, he has always been unwilling to argue with others, and he is too lazy to explain anything. He just said "hmm" lightly and prepared to get up and leave, returning to Lingshanze.
At this moment, the little Taoist boy outside Guizang Hall ran in, holding the scroll and jade token in his hand and handed them to Qi Yuanbai.
"Master, this is an urgent report from Master Shen's mission hall."
Important matters of the sect must be delivered simultaneously via a jade token and a scroll, and must be personally handed to the sect leader for review, in accordance with the sect's rules.
At the same time, perhaps because he was afraid that Qi Yuanbai would not check the urgent report in time, Instructor Shen's voice transmission also entered Guizang Hall.
"Master, an accident has occurred in the Western Desert. The Demon Lord Cang Yan has abducted our Tian Yan disciple Mu Fuyun and has now returned to the Demon Realm. The disciples of Beiwu Town have followed Elder Jiang's orders and refrained from any rash actions. We have come to ask for your instructions, Master."
A loud and urgent voice echoed in the sky above Guizang Hall for a long time.
The expressions of the two people in the room changed.
Before Qi Yuanbai could say anything, Xie Hanyi suddenly stood up from his seat and said in a deep voice, "Brother, I want to go to Beiwu Town myself."
