"Oh? Really?"
This familiar tone aroused a kind of fear that was engraved into its soul. The scales on the mirage shark's body exploded in an instant, and it almost lost control of the body it possessed.
It fled far away from the "Loukong Fish" and said in a sharp voice: "No! Impossible!!"
To be honest, Chu Lu was relieved that the Mirage had avoided him. After all, he was using Loukongyu's body now. Without knowing the extent to which the seal had been unlocked and how much the Mirage had recovered, it would be a bit risky if they really fought. Moreover, in order to prevent Loukongyu from being further assimilated, Chu Lu did not really want to use his spiritual power while using Loukongyu's body.
——Anyway, it’s great that the mirage is so sensible.
In every sense of the word.
The mirage shark over there had already escaped to a distance that made it feel a little safer.
It curled itself up into a ball, trembling, and still said in disbelief: "Dead! Didn't he say you were dead?!!"
Chu Lu blinked slowly and asked in a single voice: "Him?"
The mirage shrank again because of Chu Lu's approaching movement, but this time it did not say anything like before. Instead, its pupils contracted and it showed a look of fear.
But Chu Lu was not moved at all - he had no sympathy for such monsters who had killed countless people - he took a few steps forward and continued to ask, "Who is he?"
It is impossible for the Mirage to know what is happening in the outside world while it is sealed, so this "he" is obviously the one who moved the seal.
As Chu Lu approached, the fear on the face of the mirage became more and more intense. Finally, when Chu Lu was two or three steps away from her, the whole mermaid collapsed and shouted, "Don't--"
It screamed: "Don't! Don't come over here!!"
"I don't know! I really don't know anything! I don't know his identity!!" It sobbed and choked and howled, "It's just a deal! He helped me to unlock the seal, and I controlled that woman to leave Hanshui Palace! I don't know, I don't know him!!"
——Huanyu’s betrayal back then was indeed related to the mirage.
Chu Lu pondered in thought, but his silence was obviously misunderstood by the mirage shark as having another meaning. The fear on its scaly face became more intense, and it began to search for clues to talk about.
"...Spiritual consciousness, the one I traded with was just a spiritual consciousness, and his real body seemed to be sealed somewhere..."
"Black...devil energy, yes, devil energy...it looks like devil energy..."
"Very uncomfortable..."
"... can control... he can also control people..."
"That woman's physique is very special. He wants her to be his vessel..."
"…He knew you! He was the one who told me you were dead!!"
…
…………
The mirage shark had begun to speak incoherently, and in the end he was almost repeating the same information over and over again.
Chu Lu glanced at it and felt that he would not be able to get any more answers, so he nodded slightly and asked, "Do you want to go back by yourself, or should I take you back?"
"I will go back by myself!"
The mirage shark almost couldn't wait to say this option, as if it was afraid that Chu Lu would go back on his word. The scales on its body disappeared at a faster speed than they appeared.
A stream of dark blue light cut through space and fell into the cold pond. The light of the seal brightened for a moment, as if it was reinforced by some force.
And considering what we just saw, it is obvious who reinforced the seal.
Chen Jingzhi: “…”
Mu Yanyan: “…”
Who is this "Senior Xi" on Lou Kongyu's body, who can force a big monster that has made the entire sect on high alert to this extent?
…
…………
Meanwhile, "Lou Kongyu" closed his eyes, his body swayed, and when he opened his eyes again, he had regained control of his body. He looked up at Shen Mu and the other man, who had complicated expressions on their faces.
Lou Kongyu was just about to move over there, but just as he moved, the two people over there took a big step back together.
Lou Kongyu:???
Chu Lu: Cough.
He now realized that his behavior just now was indeed a bit villainous.
After all, his professional habits over the years would reveal themselves a little if he wasn't careful. However, in Chu Lu's eyes, the people present were all easy to fool, so it didn't matter too much.
…
…………
Because Ruan Chang was possessed, she was listless for a while after waking up, while Lou Kongyu and Mu Yanyan only had superficial injuries, which were basically healed after taking one pill.
Chu Lu asked Lou Kongyu to walk to the vicinity of the seal and check it again to confirm that unless someone or a demon deliberately destroyed it, the seal could still hold firm for a few hundred years.
The other people gathered around the cold pond. Mu Yanyan was still a little scared, "What if it comes out again?"
She subconsciously touched the wound on her body and said, "Since this seal can be broken the first time, it can also be broken the second time..."
Lou Kongyu hummed, "I'll ask the senior."
Hearing their conversation, Chu Lu was also deep in thought.
This mirage shark has a very tricky characteristic, resurrection. In other words, unless its spiritual power is exhausted, even if it is completely cut into pieces, it will only temporarily restrict its mobility. If you are not careful, it will be possessed by you and you will have to take the trouble to pull out its soul.
Chu Lu felt that it was too troublesome to kill this thing back then, so he chose to seal it.
But now it seems that the seal is not very safe...
As if sensing Chu Lu's thoughts, the originally calm surface of the cold pond began to ripple slightly. Immediately, the light of the formation became brighter, and layers of complex formation marks appeared. Even if Chu Lu wanted to break the seal and pull the mirage out now, it would take some effort.
It seems that the mirage shark sealed below is really trying hard.
Chen & Mu & Ruan & Lou: "..."
Mu Yanyan laughed dryly, "Well, it seems... quite solid..."
——Is this really a big monster?
The seal issue was resolved, and new clues were found in the investigation of the defected disciples of Hanshui Palace. Naturally, they did not plan to stay in Hanshui Palace for long. Although most of the information said by the mirage was worthless nonsense, Chu Lu still had some vague guesses.
Back then, the battle between Taoism and demons was so intense that the attitude of Taoists towards demons was to kill them if they could, and they would never use such a dangerous method as sealing them, unless the demon was impossible to kill.
For example, the previous generation of Demon Lord...
No, to put it in today’s terms, it should be the Demon Lord of the previous generation.
That is the "Heavenly Demon" born from the Demon Realm, a natural born leader of the demon world.
It is not accurate to say that it is unkillable. As far as the individual "Demon" is concerned, it can indeed be destroyed. However, once the previous Demon dies, the Demon Realm will automatically give birth to a new Demon, which absorbs the memory and energy of the previous generation and will only be stronger than the previous generation. In this sense, it is indeed immortal.
Therefore, instead of choosing to kill the demon and allowing the Demon Realm to give birth to a stronger and more troublesome new demon, sealing it is certainly a better choice.
Of course Chu Lu had fought with the previous generation of Demon Lord. To be more precise, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two of them were mortal enemies.
The battle between Taoism and the devil finally came to an end when several people joined forces to completely seal the devil.
The demon left too deep an impression on Chu Lu. Even in Chu Lu's long mission experience, he still felt a headache whenever he thought of it.
Facing a madman, a madman with extremely high martial arts value and extremely persistent in certain aspects...
Whenever Chu Lu thought that this matter might be related to that demon, he began to feel uneasy.
According to the mirage shark, the seal of the demon has not been completely released yet, but it has indeed loosened enough for him to release some of his spiritual consciousness.
If it was that demon, the first thing it would do upon regaining consciousness would not be to fish out its own body which was still sealed, but to find a way to revive its enemy.
When Chu Lu mentioned the term "enemy", even though he had no physical body now, he still began to feel a dull pain in his stomach.
What is more difficult than an enemy who is strong in combat, creates opportunities when there are none, and is crazy about picking a fight with you? It is this enemy who makes a lot of obscure dirty talk during the fight, and spreads rumors and troubles all over the sect! And, more importantly, the demon cannot be killed! !
There were several times when Chu Lu really thought about giving up the mission and dying together with that guy.
However, his professional ethics accumulated over the years made him persist until the day when he sealed the thing. After the sealing was completed, his ears were really quiet, as if the air had become fresher.
In short, Chu Lu would rather face the pursuit of the entire cultivation world again than face that madman again.
…
But to be honest, Chu Lu didn't think that the madman whose mind was full of fighting could come up with any meticulous resurrection plan.
If that guy gets hold of the fragment of his soul, the most likely thing he would do is to find a usable body nearby and stuff it in, then rush up with excitement, ready to fight.
This kind of practice of specially selecting a suitable container and then planning for hundreds of years is obviously not something that the demon can do.
But the direction of what Mirage said was too obvious, and Chu Lu would feel uneasy if he didn't check the seal.
After all, if the demon really came out, the first person to be in trouble would be his apprentice who was the demon lord in the demon world. After all, compared to the demon who was born as the leader of the demon world, both he and Xiang Wanya were of the type who got the position illegitimately. However, in the demon world where the strong are respected, whether the position is illegitimate or not is not that important, strength is the key issue.
Chu Lu knew that hundreds of years had passed and Xiang Wanya's strength must be much greater than before, but if he were to go against that demon, it was hard to say what the outcome would be.
——Especially, the Demon Realm is naturally the home turf of the Heavenly Demons. As a "demon cultivator", you will definitely be at a disadvantage when facing it.
Thinking of the fate of Xiang Wanya, the son of destiny, Chu Lu couldn't help but sigh. Even in the world where Chu Lu had gone through countless missions, his fate was one of the most tragic.
This child was tortured in his childhood due to his half-human, half-demon constitution. He was finally picked up by his master and brought back to the sect when he was finally breathing his last. However, the master treated him as an experimental subject for controlling demonic energy, and there was also a senior brother who was obviously his biological disciple and was treated differently as a control group.
After several mental breakdowns, the young man finally calmed down and made up his mind to solve the other half's physical condition. However, after going through untold hardships and finding a way to get rid of the half-demon physique, he returned to the sect and found that his master had been possessed by a demon and defected.
As a result, his status as the sect's direct disciple plummeted. While enduring all kinds of ridicule, he had to carefully hide his identity and secretly collect materials to change his physique after losing his "accomplice".
...Another failure.
When he was one step away from success, he was stabbed in the back by his trusted senior brother and became the second renegade demon cultivator wanted by the entire cultivation world after his master. After being betrayed one after another, he finally fell into the demon world and met his master again. The master and disciple reunited in a foreign place, but before Xiang Wanya could even call "Master", he was kicked into the deepest part of the demon abyss by his former master.
——How to make a "righteous Taoist who cries a lot but is still positive inside" grow into a "gloomy and cold Demon Lord of the Demon World"?
It’s not difficult at all…
"Hope-despair", "hope-despair", repeat this cycle several times and it will basically be the same.
Chu Lu still remembered the shock and doubt he felt when he saw the fate line of this world - was this really the "child of destiny" favored by the world consciousness, and not the reincarnation of a deadly enemy from a previous life? !
