Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Pei Zichen doesn't die in your hands,...
Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen joked all the way down the mountain. When they arrived at the mountain gate, they saw Jiang Zhaoyue's attendant Li You and his men standing at the door.
Jiang Zhaoxue immediately turned serious, and Pei Zichen subconsciously took a step back and stood behind Jiang Zhaoxue. Li You glanced at the two of them, smiled, stepped forward, and respectfully saluted Jiang Zhaoxue: "Madam."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Pei Zichen, a smile that concealed its meaning. "Mr. Pei Dao, my surname is Li, my given name is You. I currently serve as the steward of Penglai Island Prefecture, serving as the young master's attendant."
The smile in Li You's eyes was quite obvious, as if the bride's family was looking at the new son-in-law.
Pei Zichen felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and forced himself to remain calm as he greeted Li You.
Jiang Zhaoxue noticed Pei Zichen's embarrassment and interrupted Li You's teasing of Pei Zichen. She glanced around and asked, "Where's my brother?"
"Young Master, go get Pei Daojun's soul lamp. You'll be here shortly."
As Li You was explaining, the surrounding spiritual energy changed. Everyone looked and saw golden light spinning and condensing into a human body. Jiang Zhaoyue appeared with a glass soul lamp and handed it to Pei Zichen.
The soul lamp is made of a wisp of divine soul. It has no significant effect on a normal day, but if it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it can become a deadly object.
Now that Jiang Zhaoyue brought the soul lamp back, Jiang Zhaoxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhaoxue raised a flattering smile: "Brother..."
"Why hasn't he left yet?"
Jiang Zhaoyue asked directly, and Jiang Zhaoxue's smile froze. Pei Zichen, standing beside her, immediately took over and said respectfully, "Young Master, my master just came over. I was afraid he might do something drastic, so I stayed."
Jiang Zhaoyue frowned when he heard this: "Shen Yuqing is here?"
Jiang Zhaoxue nodded quickly.
Jiang Zhaoyue sneered, "He still dares to come? Why doesn't he come to see me when he's already here?"
"He doesn't dare."
Jiang Zhaoxue quickly flattered him: "You are the young master of Penglai, the best talisman master in the world, how could he dare to look for you?"
Jiang Zhaoyue knew she was just saying nice things, so he ignored her and continued to ask, "How did the Yunfu Mountain handover take place?"
"I instructed Qingye last night..."
"Master Qingye has already agreed with his disciples," Pei Zichen continued calmly, "Once the Lady Lord leaves the mountain, Yunfu Mountain will activate the magic circle and leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" sound. Everyone looked up and saw that Yunfu Mountain, which had been stable in Lingjian Xian Pavilion, was like a huge flying boat, breaking away from the peaks of Yunfu Mountain and slowly moving into the distance.
Everyone looked up in surprise, gazing at Yunfushan's departure, while Jiang Zhaoxue watched silently.
The moment they left Yunfu Mountain, the announcement from the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion resounded throughout the Immortal Realm:
"The Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion respectfully informs all sects that the current Pavilion Master, Shen Yuqing, and the Penglai Queen, Jiang Zhaoxue, have diverged from their paths. As of today, their Taoist companionship has dissolved, their marriage has ended, and they will part ways, each pursuing their own path. May all witness the eternal truth, each seeking freedom!"
The sound echoed repeatedly in the True Fairyland. Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the Yunfu Mountain that was getting farther and farther away in the sky, and remained silent.
Pei Zichen glanced sideways at the person next to him who was looking up at the height. The shadows of clouds and mountains fell into her eyes. Pei Zichen thought for a long time, and under the cover of their wide sleeves, he quietly pulled Jiang Zhaoxue.
Jiang Zhaoxue was startled, then looked to the side and saw Pei Zichen leaning on his sword, looking up, and whispered, "It's over."
As he said that, he turned to look at Jiang Zhaoxue, smiled and said, "Lady, let's go."
"cough."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li You next to him coughed heavily.
Jiang Zhaoxue turned her head and saw Jiang Zhaoyue staring coldly at Pei Zichen and her quietly holding hand.
He said nothing, but it seemed like he said everything.
Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen were like teenagers who had run away and were caught by their parents. They pretended to be calm and quietly let go of each other's hands.
Jiang Zhaoyue turned around with a cold expression. Just as he was about to speak, a golden light shot up into the sky from the direction of the Tianming Palace in the mountain behind the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. Everyone turned around in surprise. Li You exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?"
No one answered. The golden light rising into the sky was obviously not spiritual power.
If it’s not spiritual power, then what is it?
No one knew the answer, except Jiang Zhaoxue, who felt vaguely uneasy and felt that the power of the golden light made her extremely uncomfortable.
In a moment, Jiang Zhaoyue immediately felt the sound transmission jade token burning hot. Jiang Zhaoyue took out the sound transmission jade token. Everyone looked at it and saw Jiang Zhaoyue frowning. He calmly announced to everyone, "The Immortal Alliance has issued an edict, ordering the leaders of each sect to discuss important matters in three days at the Tianji Palace in the north of Cangming Sea."
Tianji Palace is the outpost of Lingjian Xian Pavilion. Going to Tianji Palace to discuss matters is obviously an invitation from Lingjian Xian Pavilion.
Li You immediately asked, "Young Master, do you know what this is all about?"
Jiang Zhaoyue shook his head and said, "You'll know when you get there."
Jiang Zhaoyue turned to look at Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen. After thinking for a moment, he said to Pei Zichen, "Go to the north line first. To the west of the north line, there is a Pingning Island. That is the Penglai stronghold. Yaoyao and I will wait for you there. As soon as the Jiuyou Realm withdraws its troops, you must return immediately and we will leave together."
Pei Zichen heard this and bowed respectfully: "Yes."
The people on both sides separated, Jiang Zhaoyue summoned the spirit boat and took everyone on board.
Before Jiang Zhaoxue boarded the boat, she secretly gave the teleportation talisman that Jiang Zhaoyue gave her to Pei Zichen.
"If anything goes wrong, use this."
Jiang Zhaoxue said this and turned to leave.
After Jiang Zhaoxue boarded the spirit boat, Pei Zichen couldn't help but smile bitterly while holding the talisman in his hand.
The spiritual energy on it was pure and clear, clearly made from the essence and blood of a top cultivator. Who else but Jiang Zhaoyue could have produced such a masterpiece?
As a result, Jiang Zhaoxue gave it to him. How could he dare to use it?
If I use it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to enter Penglai.
So he carefully put the talisman into the Qiankun bag, watched the spirit boat go away, and then hurried back to the north line.
Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen each rushed to their respective destinations. After Shen Yuqing walked out of the Tianming Hall, Gu Jun's figure slowly solidified in the Tianming Hall.
He raised his hand and saluted the Book of Destiny, saying respectfully, "Lord Divine Lord."
"Shen Yuqing and Jiang Zhaoxue have been destined to be together. The Nine Netherworld retreated and forced Jiang Zhaoxue to marry."
Gu Jun smiled as these words appeared on the Book of Destiny. "It seems that the Lord God has obtained Zeyuan's luck. With Pei Zichen, his great cause can be accomplished."
"It's still early."
Two words appeared on the illuminated Book of Destiny, and then, one by one, they lit up as if someone were writing: "When your wish is fulfilled, you will gain destiny. I will not be at peace until Jiang Pei is dead."
Seeing this line of words, Gu Jun showed a cold expression and said respectfully: "Don't worry, God, I have already made arrangements. When the Nine Netherworld retreats, Pei Zichen will die. God, no one can stop your great cause."
*** ***
Jiang Zhaoxue and Pei Zichen separated, and followed Jiang Zhaoyue onto the spirit boat. It took a day to fly from Lingjian Immortal Pavilion to Pingning Island, and they arrived at Pingning Island after nightfall.
Penglai controls the sea area, and most of the islands east of Zhongzhou are managed by Penglai. Pingning Island is the island closest to the north line. Jiang Zhaoyue made this arrangement so that he can pick up Pei Zichen at any time.
Arriving at Pingning Island that night, Jiang Zhaoxue and Jiang Zhaoyue each rested. The next day, they woke up and had dinner together. Jiang Zhaoxue hadn't sat at the same table with Jiang Zhaoyue for many years, and was quite happy. She glanced at the food on the table and found that it was still what she loved in the past. She couldn't help but say, "Brother, do you still remember what I like to eat?"
"There are only a few dishes," Jiang Zhaoyue said indifferently, "My brain is not like a fish, how could I not remember it?"
"Yes, yes," Jiang Zhaoxue said with a smile as she sat down next to Jiang Zhaoyue. "Brother has a good memory, it's just a random memory. By the way, have your tastes changed?"
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at the table full of her favorite food and asked curiously, "Do you still only like to drink northwest wind?"
She knew that Jiang Zhaoyue didn't like to eat.
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at her coldly, served her a bowl of tomato and egg soup, and ignored her.
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it and asked curiously, "And Mom and Dad, have their tastes changed? If not, I'll bring them some of their favorite food on the way back."
"There's something," Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly said. The moment he spoke, the barrier silently opened. Jiang Zhaoxue looked up in surprise, then heard Jiang Zhaoyue lower his head and take a sip of tea, then said calmly, "I haven't told you yet."
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart skipped a beat, knowing that what Jiang Zhaoyue was talking about must be no small matter, so he also became serious: "What is it?"
"There are many people in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion who talk a lot, and I can't estimate Gu Jun's ability, so I didn't say anything."
Jiang Zhaoyue explained why he spoke late, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Zhaoxue, as if he had accepted this matter a long time ago, and said softly: "Father is not going to be able to do it."
Jiang Zhaoxue's fingers tightened around the chopsticks, forcing herself to calm down. She immediately asked, "What's going on?"
"Since a thousand years ago, my father's luck has been declining, as if he was suffering from some evil force. At the beginning, he was in the prime of his life, so it wasn't a big deal. But since the decline of the luck of the True Immortal Realm, the cultivators in the True Immortal Realm are no longer protected by the Heavenly Dao. After my father was injured in seclusion, he has been getting worse day by day. Penglai has many enemies, and Lingjian Xian Pavilion Gujun is eyeing him covetously, so he has never dared to speak out."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jiang Zhaoxue spoke hurriedly, and Jiang Zhaoyue looked up at her.
This question caused both of them to fall silent.
Considering her friendship with Shen Yuqing back then, how could she dare to tell her such a thing?
Her heart was suddenly filled with regret, yet she was also thankful that she hadn't made a big mistake yet. She immediately said, "Then I won't wait for Pei Zichen. I'll go back now."
"No." Jiang Zhaoyue held her down and warned, "You must wait for him."
Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned, then heard Jiang Zhaoyue say, "Father is a cultivator who has transcended tribulation. He has observed the laws of nature and said that his luck is declining because of karma. The only way to save him is for you to become a Ninth Realm Fate Master."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened and understood. After listening to Jiang Zhaoyue's explanation, "Nine Realm Fate Masters can adjust cause and effect. You are gambling with the heavens. This is your only chance to save your father. So this time, we must ensure Pei Zichen's safe return. This is more important than anything else."
"In that case..."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, somewhat confused: "Why let Pei Zichen go to the north line? Wouldn't it be better to take him away by force?"
"We can't let the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion discover anything unusual." Jiang Zhaoyue explained, "The Book of Destiny can observe all living things, but my father is a cultivator who has transcended tribulations, so the Book of Destiny cannot see through him. That's why we can keep this secret for now. Now that you've taken Pei Zichen away under the pretext of love, it's perfect. But if I'm too forceful and rush to take Pei Zichen away, Pei Zichen will be carrying a divine weapon, and the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion may become suspicious. After all, my father hasn't come out of seclusion for many years."
"I understand." Jiang Zhaoxue nodded and said thoughtfully, "It's only a few days after all. The most important thing is to take Pei Zichen away safely, that is..."
Jiang Zhaoxue hesitated, and Jiang Zhaoyue was a little confused: "That's it?"
"It's just... I have something to tell you." Jiang Zhaoxue raised her eyes with difficulty, looked at Jiang Zhaoyue, and said carefully, "I need to tell you."
Jiang Zhaoyue frowned when he heard this. Jiang Zhaoxue pursed her lips and said, "Pei Zichen has practiced the Nine Nether Realm technique."
Jiang Zhaoyue's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and she instantly became furious. Jiang Zhaoxue forced a smile and said, "Shen Yuqing discovered in the time mirror that he was practicing the Nine Nether Realm technique. It couldn't be hidden, so he told Gu Jun as soon as he came back. Gu Jun covered it up for him and said that if he could drive out the Nine Nether Realm, he would let Pei Zichen come with me, and in the future, Pei Zichen would help both of us..."
"Can you believe what he says?!" Jiang Zhaoyue cursed, "Nonsense!"
"What can I do?" Jiang Zhaoxue said helplessly, "If I take him back to Penglai directly, won't that cause trouble?"
Jiang Zhaoyue was at a loss for words for a moment, as Jiang Zhaoxue was right.
If she brought him back to Penglai directly, Lingjian Xian Pavilion would come to her house under the pretext of hiding a demon cultivator from the Nine Netherworld Realm, and the fact that Jiang Pingsheng was injured would be impossible to conceal.
And Jiang Zhaoxue had no way to directly unlock the spirit formation outside of Penglai. Once the spirit formation was unlocked, all of Pei Zichen's spiritual power would be instantly absorbed by the artifact, and he would immediately become a mortal. Considering the extent of his physical injuries in recent days, without the spiritual power to maintain himself, he would become a mortal and would probably die on the spot.
It is necessary to ensure Pei Zichen's safety by preparing enough spiritual medicines and doctors after his injuries are healed and there are no hidden dangers in his body. After extracting his spiritual power, any accidents that occur must be treated immediately.
Convincing Gu Jun first was the best option for both of them at that time.
Jiang Zhaoyue sorted out his thoughts, forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. But Yaoyao, I must tell you something."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and listened to him seriously: "I will try my best to protect you, but for me, Penglai is my responsibility. If necessary..."
"I understand," Jiang Zhaoxue said immediately. "Brother, don't worry. Penglai is the most important thing to me. If everything goes well, we'll return to Penglai together. Once he's healthy, I'll unlock the spirit formation and take the Heavenly Secret Jade. I'll then apologize to him. If things don't go well, I'll take him away alone and look for an opportunity. After I get the Heavenly Secret Jade, I'll secretly return, rescue my father, and then settle the matter with the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion."
By the time she rescues his father, there will be another Ninth Realm Master in Penglai. Fists are the real law, and she wants to see who dares to come to her.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded and said softly, "Okay."
The brother and sister agreed on this.
The two talked for a while, and then Jiang Zhaoyue went to deal with the official business from Penglai.
Jiang Zhaoxue returned to her room to meditate. At night, she received a voice message from Pei Zichen: "Yaoyao, are you asleep?"
Jiang Zhaoxue held the sound transmission jade token and fell onto the bed. Listening to the sound of rain in his voice, he turned his head to glance at the calm sky outside and responded, "No, is it raining where you are?"
"Yeah." Pei Zichen seemed a little tired, his voice buried in the drizzle, and he said softly, "It was raining outside just now, and I was wondering, is it raining on Pingning Island? Are you and I in the same rain and wind?"
Jiang Zhaoxue hesitated, thought about it, and finally lied: "Yes."
"very nice."
Pei Zichen seemed a little happy. He talked about today's battle. He came back from Lingjian Xian Pavilion, and the Nine Nether Realm launched a surprise attack at night. Fortunately, they were just some resentful insects. Apart from the effort, there was no big trouble. From last night to today, he killed most of the monsters on the Tsinghua and Peking University lines, and then he stopped to rest.
"I'll be back soon." Pei Zichen said happily, "When we get to Penglai, I want to live as close to you as possible."
"Sure." Jiang Zhaoxue joked, "Come to my bed."
"Yaoyao..."
Pei Zichen was quite helpless. Jiang Zhaoxue joked with him, "My bed is very big, it can sleep several people. Oh, and I also have a spirit pet garden. Many demon cultivators from Penglai are raised here when they are pups. Do you like dogs? If so, I can catch a bunch for you to raise."
"That's not necessary..."
Pei Zichen hesitated, and Jiang Zhaoxue felt distressed: "Are you...are you still thinking about Pangpang?"
"no."
Pei Zichen sighed softly when she talked about the pet from back then: "Although I feel sorry for Pangpang, after all, many years have passed... I have let it go."
"Then why don't you have a dog?"
"I'm afraid the lady loves these pets too much," Pei Zichen said honestly, "and I'm jealous."
Jiang Zhaoxue: "..."
Dogs are jealous, this is a real dog!
Jiang Zhaoxue chatted with Pei Zichen in a disjointed manner until they fell asleep.
Over the next two days, Pei Zichen communicated with her via telepathy whenever he was free, and when he was not communicating, he was on the battlefield.
Jiang Zhaoxue had nothing to do, so he grabbed Jiang Zhaoyue and asked him to write talismans while he replenished his supplies and was ready to escape at any time.
On the morning of the third day, Jiang Zhaoyue set out early to discuss matters at Tianji Palace.
In the afternoon, Jiang Zhaoxue received a message from Pei Zichen: "My Lady, the Nine Netherworld Territory has completely retreated to the Cangming Sea. I will be back after cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the barrier tonight."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoxue said immediately, "I'll pick you up!"
“No need…”
"I'm going to Jiangning Town right now." Jiang Zhaoxue thought about the nearest land town and made a decision. "You'll be ready to leave by the time I get there. Let's go together so I can see you first."
Pei Zichen paused, seemingly unable to resist this huge temptation, and finally said, "Okay."
As he said that, he laughed: "Then I will come back as soon as possible."
After the two of them made an appointment, Jiang Zhaoxue immediately set off with Qingye and other followers. At nightfall that day, they arrived at Jiangning Town.
When Jiang Zhaoxue arrived in Jiangning Town and asked Qingye to book a wealthy businessman's house to stay, all the members of the Immortal Alliance had already arrived at the Tianji Palace.
The Immortal Alliance is mainly composed of the five major sects: Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, Tianjian Sect, Xingyun Sect, Baiyin Pavilion, Tiandi Dao Sect and Penglai Island. It commands the hundreds of sects in Zhongzhou. This time, the backbones of the five major sects gathered together, and the other hundreds of sects also sent people to gather at the Tianji Palace.
After Jiang Zhaoyue arrived, he greeted the other immortals and sat down next to the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, nodding to Guan Xiushu who was standing.
Guan Xiushu stood behind the empty seat, obviously waiting for someone.
After everyone was seated, Zhou Bugang of the Tiandi Dao Sect spoke first, asking doubtfully, "Brother Guan, I wonder why the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion has gathered so many immortals?"
"Let my senior brother tell you about this matter."
As he spoke, Guan Xiushu raised his hand to form a seal, and everyone, including Lingjian Xian Pavilion, saw Gu Jun's figure appear in the empty seat in front of Guan Xiushu.
The person who came was just a shadow, but everyone stood up and saluted.
Gu Jun smiled slightly, exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and then stated his purpose in a deep voice: "Everyone, I've summoned you here today to inform you of something important. You should all be aware that nine days ago, our disciple Pei Zichen returned with five divine artifacts, right?"
When Jiang Zhaoyue heard that it was related to Pei Zichen, his expression turned cold.
Xu Zichen of the Sky Sword Sect nodded and recalled, "I know. I happened to be there supervising the battle at Cangming Sea nine days ago and saw him take action. This boy is extremely talented and has a bright future. Why did Brother Gujun mention him?"
"Brother Xu, you don't know." Gu Jun sighed, looking extremely distressed, and explained, "This disciple of our sect has had a vague relationship with the Nine Nether Realm in the past. However, because I value his talent, although I knew of this past, I never delved into it. However, three days ago, a Nine Nether Realm demon cultivator was captured on the battlefield of the Immortal Alliance. He accused Pei Zichen of secretly practicing the Nine Nether Realm's techniques and colluding with the Nine Nether Realm to cause chaos. This matter is of great importance, so I summoned you all here to discuss with you. What do you think is the most appropriate way to deal with this disciple of our sect?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Xu Zichen frowned, unconvinced. "Practicing Nine Netherworld techniques? But nine days ago, I saw him in action, and he was clearly practicing Immortal techniques. Immortals and demons repel each other, so if he's practicing techniques from the True Immortal Realm, how could he be practicing Nine Netherworld techniques?"
"Yes," Zhou Bugang was also puzzled. "Could it be that he can also cultivate both immortal and devil?"
"Exactly."
Gu Jun nodded, and Zhou Bugang was shocked and blurted out, "What a talent."
"cough."
Feng Minghuan, the usually calm and composed Pavilion Master of Baiyin Pavilion, coughed lightly, reminding Zhou Bugang. Zhou Bugang immediately realized what was happening, looking embarrassed as he explained, "What I meant is that most people can't do it."
"This boy is extremely talented," Gu Jun said, seeming to be extremely distressed, "but his intentions are not right. If I let him go on like this, I don't know what the consequences will be. That's why I summoned you all to discuss this."
"Discuss..." Xu Zichen frowned. "Now that the True Immortal Realm's luck is declining, it needs divine artifacts to reverse it. He possesses five divine artifacts. Besides recruiting, what else can he do?"
"But the five divine artifacts have not recognized their master."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Jiang Zhaoyue raised his eyes to look at Gu Jun, his fingers slightly curled.
If a divine artifact recognizes a master and the master is killed, the artifact will enter dormancy and will not be able to recognize anyone else in a short period of time.
But now the artifact has not recognized its master...
"How did Senior Gujun know this?" Jiang Zhaoyue finally couldn't contain his excitement and asked in confusion.
Gu Jun smiled and asked everyone, "The luck of the True Immortal Realm has not changed. Haven't you noticed?"
Everyone said nothing and began to carefully sense the spiritual power of the True Fairyland.
Except for fortune tellers, other people's perception of luck is not accurate, and most of them rely on the generation of spiritual energy to judge the luck of a state.
After sensing for a long time, everyone looked at each other, knowing that what Gu Jun said was not true.
Xingyun Sect elder Shui Chenyuan spoke up, his voice cold, "If the artifact doesn't recognize its master, and its destiny doesn't reverse, what will become of the True Immortal Realm?"
"That's the second thing I want to say."
Gu Jun said with a smile, "Yesterday, the names of my disciple Shen Yuqing and Penglai Queen Jiang Zhaoxue suddenly appeared on the Marriage Stone. They were at the top of the Marriage Stone, inscribed in golden characters, meaning it is a marriage destined by heaven."
"A marriage destined by heaven?" Zhou Bugang said immediately, "It is a marriage destined by heaven. If we can become a Taoist couple, it will bring blessings to the whole realm."
"good."
Gu Jun said in a deep voice, "Some time ago, Lady Penglai and Yuqing had an argument, and the two divorced. As a result, the Marriage Stone gave us a hint of a destined marriage. Now, as long as Lady Jiang changes her mind and forms a bond with my disciple again, we can reverse the fate of the True Immortal Realm and give us a chance to breathe."
"So," Shui Chenyuan pondered, understanding Gu Jun's meaning, "Now Pei Zichen has a useless artifact in his hands, and he is also practicing the Nine Nether Realm techniques and colluding with the Nine Nether Realm?"
"That's right." Gu Jun nodded, as if thinking for everyone. "He is still young and can't tell right from wrong. If he doesn't get rid of the artifact, he will be a disaster. I asked you all to come here because I want the Nine Nether Realm to withdraw its troops tonight. Pei Zichen has been fighting for days and is weak. I beg you to bear witness while I clean up the mess and prove the innocence of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion!"
"Senior Gujun," Jiang Zhaoyue listened, suppressing his emotions and reminding him, "If Pei Zichen had colluded with the Nine Nether Realm, how could he be exhausted and weak from conquering the Nine Nether Realm?"
The question was asked sharply, and everyone looked at Gu Jun.
Gu Jun wasn't afraid and explained, "The captured Nine Netherworld disciple said he was planning to use his Nine Netherworld military exploits to gain everyone's trust in Zhongzhou. That's why, over the past few days, the Nine Netherworld has only sent out the resentful insects that needed to be dealt with and unimportant disciples. The core disciples had already left, just to put on a show for Pei Zichen."
"Words are not enough," Jiang Zhaoyue continued, "Why didn't Senior Gujun trust his own disciples, but instead trusted a captured Nine Netherworld Realm demon cultivator?"
"Because not only did that disciple say this," Gu Jun said immediately, "Yuqing woke up recently and also said that he saw Pei Zichen using the Nine Netherworld Realm technique. Oh, he said that the magic weapon Pei Zichen used to conceal the technique was the Penglai Nine Transformations Immortal Bell."
Jiang Zhaoyue's face changed slightly, realizing that Gu Jun was coming for Penglai.
Gu Jun smiled, stared at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "Ms. Jiang has a close personal relationship with this disciple of our sect. I'm afraid she has been deceived by him. How about Young Master Jiang go with me later to seize the Nine Revolutions Immortal Life Bell and see if Pei Zichen is a demon cultivator?"
"Is this really true?"
Jiang Zhaoyue had a cold face and secretly clenched his fists, but he also understood that he had to be more resolute than anyone else now.
Pei Zichen has cultivated the magic skills of the Nine Netherworld Realm. Since Gu Jun dared to say it, he must be sure of verification.
The Nine-Turn Immortal Bell is in Pei Zichen's hands. Any biased move by Penglai will become evidence for Pei Zichen's accusation after the incident.
Jiang Zhaoyue's mind raced, and he immediately said, "If this boy really deceives Axue, I will kill him with my own hands. Please don't blame me, Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion."
"certainly."
Gu Jun nodded immediately and said to everyone, "Let's set out now and verify it on the spot. If Pei Zichen really cultivates the Nine Nether Realm technique, we will kill him together. If Pei Zichen is innocent, then he has made great achievements in this battle, and we must not treat him unfairly. What do you think?"
"Can."
Shui Chenyuan nodded immediately and said in a deep voice, "If he really cultivates the Nine Nether Realm technique, he will be a disaster in the future. He must not be allowed to stay."
After everyone settled down, Guan Xiushu asked everyone to stand up and go out one by one to the battlefield.
Li You followed Jiang Zhaoyue and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, do you want to notify Pei Zichen?"
Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes flickered. He clenched his fists and after struggling for a long time, he whispered, "No."
Li You raised his eyes to look at Jiang Zhaoyue, who hurried to catch up with the others and said calmly, "Since our marriage is destined, father can be saved. If Pei Zichen escapes now, Penglai will not be able to explain it."
Everyone present was an elite from the True Immortal Realm. It was impossible for him to pass on the message without leaving any trace. If Pei Zichen ran away, everyone would know who reported it.
He couldn't drag Penglai into the water for Pei Zichen.
Jiang Zhaoyue made up his mind and left with everyone.
In the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, Gu Jun watched with satisfaction as everyone headed for the battlefield, then turned to look at Shen Yuqing who was standing behind him.
His injuries had healed, and he had changed into the appearance of the former Pavilion Master of the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion, with a golden crown tied high on his head, a white robe with gold thread, a whisk in his hand, and a long sword on his back.
Gu Jun looked him up and down, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and kill him if you want. It's not too late for you to go now."
"If I kill him, Axue will hate me."
Shen Yuqing spoke calmly, looking up at Gu Jun: "Master, is what that Nine Netherworld Demon Cultivator said true?"
"Why," Gu Jun sneered, "Do you think I found a demon cultivator to frame him?"
Shen Yuqing didn't say anything.
He never doubted Gujun in the past.
This is his master, the one who raised him. As a teacher and a father, he should believe that he is doing this for his own good, even if it means his death.
But from the moment he knew that Gu Jun had locked him up in Tianming Palace and tricked him into letting Jiang Zhaoxue leave, he felt something was wrong.
But he immediately realized that he shouldn't have thought so, and quickly lowered his eyes to apologize: "Disciple, I dare not."
"You," Gu Jun saw that he was being disloyal, and fiddled with the candlelight and shook his head, "for a woman, you ended up estranged from your master. You saw Pei Zichen practicing the Nine Nether Realm technique with your own eyes, so why should I go to the trouble of blaming him? This person was indeed sent by the Nine Nether Realm, but I don't know whether he was telling the truth or not. But just based on the fact that he practiced the Nine Nether Realm technique-"
Gu Jun raised his eyes to look at Shen Yuqing: "Shouldn't Pei Zichen die?"
"Yes," Shen Yuqing replied, "but I shouldn't be the one to kill him."
"Are you afraid that Jiang Zhaoxue will hate you?"
Gu Jun laughed mockingly, and Shen Yuqing's eyelashes trembled.
Gu Jun turned around to drink his tea and said casually, "Don't worry. In fact, if Pei Zichen doesn't die in your hands, he will die in Jiang Zhaoxue's hands."
Shen Yuqing looked up in confusion: "Master?"
"Jiang Zhaoxue is still too young. Everything has its price. To obtain ordinary magical tools through the Soul Locking Formation, one needs to cultivate. But the Soul Locking Formation can be used for divine tools..."
Gu Jun lowered his head to drink his tea, his tone indifferent: "What's at stake is life."
Shen Yuqing paused, and Gu Jun lowered his head to make tea, saying casually, "If you don't want to kill anyone, go get Jiang Zhaoxue. She's in Jiangning Town. Remember this," Gu Jun looked up at Pei Zichen with a smile on his face, "Only a plucked tiger can sleep by your side. Don't let her get fat."
Shen Yuqing understood what Gu Jun meant. He pursed his lips and raised his hand to salute: "Disciple, I understand."
