Chu Lu never expected to be faced with the current situation as soon as he opened his eyes.
He was originally meditating and practicing in the soul bead. When he heard Lou Kongyu's scream for help, he hurried out to help.
However--
Chu Lu:......
…………
???
!!!
Did he meditate for a full hour? What happened during this time?!
Why did he have to face this level of Shura Field as soon as he opened his eyes? !
Let’s not count Qing Yongzi for now. With Jiang Yixi and Xie Jing joining forces, even if he was in his prime, he would have to think twice.
Chu Lu was not a person who tended to escape from reality, but when faced with this situation, he couldn't help but close his eyes tightly.
——There’s no hope. Just wait for death.
…
…………
That being said, this is indeed the case, but it is obviously impossible for Chu Lu to replace Lou Kongyu at this moment and let him face this mess.
During the brief silence, Shuanghua quickly explained to him everything that had just happened.
Chu Lu immediately understood what went wrong: "..."
The new sword spirit is still too young.
But sensing the confusion, puzzlement, and aggrieved emotions coming from the sword spirit, Chu Lu finally didn't say anything.
This is still a baby.
——A baby who is not even one day old...
To be honest, it was not easy for a sword spirit like Shuanghua to pretend to be happy at that time, although it was also because of this that she was exposed.
"...Senior Brother," Xie Jing spoke first.
He took a step forward. The young man was naturally much taller than him. Xie Jing was not used to talking to his senior brother from this perspective. He leaned forward and lowered his gaze to the same level as Lou Kongyu, staring fixedly at the strange yet familiar eyes, "Let's go back to the sect."
His gaze remained the same.
It was as if they had returned to a long time ago, when the two brothers were thrown into various dangerous situations by Hanshan Sword Master, and every time they escaped from the danger zone with great difficulty, they would return to the sect together.
So many things happened in the meantime, but Xie Jing was still the same Xie Jing and he never changed.
Just like when he was being hunted by the entire cultivation world, Chu Lu still chose to believe in this junior brother.
As for occasionally showing his "severely injured" status in front of the opponent, forcing the opponent to give up chasing him and instead intercept the pursuers...
Chu Lu said that his conscience was indeed condemned a little bit.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
In that situation back then, if he had been hunted down and brought back to the world of cultivation, the rest of the story would have been completely over.
…
…………
In short, when everything was going wrong and the plot line was repeatedly on the verge of collapse, thanks to the presence of such a junior brother, Chu Lu was able to barely get the plot back on track.
And now——
Chu Lu looked at his junior brother who was closely following him, then looked at the magic circle that was gradually taking shape under his feet - Jiang Yixi had obviously made a move.
Chu Lu: "..."
Is it over?!
This is the confinement formation used to seal the demon back then!
Even if it was reasonable to use this formation to deal with the fallen demon Linghua, the body he was using now was obviously just that of a cultivator in the foundation-building stage... Isn't it a waste of talent to use this formation? !
…
…………
The formation failed to take shape in the end and was stopped by Xie Jing.
However, Jiang Yixi had no intention of completing it from the beginning.
In fact, even his previous move had left room for maneuver. Even if Chu Lu hadn't appeared, Jiang Yixi would have had time to stop at the last moment. It was just that the gap in realm was too big, and Lou Kongyu didn't notice it at all.
There was a stagnant silence in the room. Jiang Yixi looked at Xie Jing who was holding a sword in front of him, then glanced at Qing Yongzi who seemed to be doing nothing but in fact had already activated the barrier of the entire villa to put pressure on him. Finally, his eyes fixed on the young man who was standing behind Xie Jing, maintaining a guarded posture.
Qing Ye, the person who was most confused about the current situation in the entire room, could hardly control his trembling legs. Under the pressure of the momentum of this group of big guys, he had completely given up thinking.
Why did Sect Master Jiang suddenly take action? How did Kong Yu suddenly become a different person? ... Senior Brother, what 'Senior Brother'? Whose Senior Brother? ! How did Yaochuan Jianzun become in such a state of confrontation with Sect Master Jiang?
——He didn’t know any of these questions, nor did he want to know!!
He only regretted one thing now. Why did he follow her into this room? If he could be given another chance to choose, he would definitely stay as far away as possible.
Qing Ye silently shrank a little closer to his father, but did not dare to make any big movements for fear of attracting other people's attention.
Among the other four people present, except his father, it would be bad if anyone set their eyes on him!
…
…………
Qing Ye was trying his best to reduce his presence, wishing he could shrink himself into the crack of the ground.
On the other side, Jiang Yixi's face darkened little by little as they maintained a standoff. He was so angry that he actually smiled.
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
He didn't mention any names, but Chu Lu knew that the question was obviously directed at him, and the tone was clearly that something bad was about to happen...
When Chu Lu heard this, he felt relieved.
He walked out from behind Xie Jing, raised his hand to block the junior brother who was worried and wanted to protect him, and said two words to Jiang Yixi seriously, "Sorry."
——It is an apology that is hundreds of years late.
Then……
"I have no idea."
This is the answer to Jiang Yixi’s previous question.
He didn't know what Jiang Yixi would do.
Whether it's now or back then...
The conflict between Taoism and demons, which has never been settled since the beginning of history, is not without the fact that some cultivators vaguely feel that it is the suppression and restraint of the Heavenly Dao on this world.
It's just the blood feud accumulated over thousands and tens of thousands of years...
Everyone in the cultivation world has lost their relatives, friends, teachers, and fellow disciples at the hands of evil cultivators... The only difference is whether it's more or less...
That’s why there are children of destiny like Xiang Wanya.
When the world is running towards perfection, it needs a demon lord who grew up in the world of cultivation to quell the conflict that has spanned the entire world.
It is hard to say whether this world was born from the evolution of stories, or whether the stories were born because of the world's needs...
But no matter what the reason is, what the staff of the Space-Time Bureau have to do is actually the same - maintain the established line of destiny.
Although Chu Lu was indeed very worried at one point.
Given the degree of madness that fate has for the protagonist, Xiang Wanya is more likely to become a demon who only wants to destroy the world than a savior... But can we say that the world consciousness is finally reliable for once? Although there are various problems in the plot line, at least the protagonist's integrity is guaranteed.
In short, Chu Lu’s purpose of entering this world is to maintain his destiny, and his possession by the devil is just a part of his predetermined destiny, an indispensable part.
However, for the friends he has met and the comrades who have stood shoulder to shoulder with him in this world, it may not be so easy to accept and understand.
It was precisely because they had entrusted their lives to each other on the battlefield that Chu Lu could more deeply understand their hatred for the evil cultivators.
Fellow disciples died at the hands of evil cultivators, fellow Taoists died tragically on the battlefield, and even... their parents were tortured and killed by evil cultivators...
As for those monks who have been tainted by the devilish energy to the point of no return, sometimes they would even beg their fellows to let them be killed once before they completely fall into the devilish state...
...died as a Taoist.
Hatred that has spread for thousands of generations...all these bloody facts are not so easy to uncover.
That’s why Linghua’s betrayal is so unforgivable.
Chu Lu never asked for forgiveness.
…
…………
It’s not that Chu Lu didn’t believe in the friendship between him and Jiang Yixi, or rather, the reason why he avoided him back then was exactly the opposite.
——He believed in their friendship.
It's not just Jiang Yixi and Xie Jing, there are also other friends who have entrusted their lives and lives to them.
It is precisely because of belief.
He didn't want to force those people to make a choice.
They are different from Xie Jing.
The Jiang family of Huizhou was wiped out by the evil cultivator, leaving only Jiang Yixi as an orphan; Yanyun's biological sister was tortured to death by the evil cultivator, and only her body parts were left when she went to look for her; Renqi's brother was turned into a puppet by the evil cultivator; Chengxuan's Taoist partner and Wuxiang's junior brother... all died at the hands of the evil cultivator...
Even though these things can be overcome, they are still a scar in everyone's heart.
He didn't want to meet and force these people to make a choice.
Whether it was killing an old friend or letting the demon cultivator go...
They just add more weight to the already heavy memories.
…
Without Xie Jing's obstruction, the two of them looked directly at each other. After Chu Lu's brief three-word answer, the room fell silent again.
In the corner, Qing Ye had even used the breath-concealing technique, fearing that his breathing would disturb anyone.
He has already regretted countless times why he followed in... If he could be given another chance, he would definitely carry his bedding and leave Fengxia Villa at night - leave, home, and run away! !
But half a day later, Jiang Yixi took a step back and sat down again.
The atmosphere that seemed to be on the verge of breaking out suddenly relaxed because of his action. Although Qing Ye didn't know the reason, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. However, halfway through the sigh, he remembered the current situation and quickly held it back.
Jiang Yixi's expression was a little annoyed, but also a little funny, "You are such a person..."
"Back then... before that incident..."
"My mother, in Luzhou... was murdered and her treasure was stolen..." He paused for a moment. Obviously, such an incident was not a good memory for the person involved. However, it seemed that because it was so long ago, his mood at that time had long since calmed down. He could now speak in a normal tone, "I didn't see anyone from Luzhou shouting for war and killing. Wasn't Wuxiang also from Luzhou?"
Chu Lu: "..."
It turned out that it was not his illusion that this person had always been seeming to exclude Wuxiang.
Although he accidentally discovered an old truth, Chu Lu remained silent for a while.
Both knew that these were not the same and could not be confused.
After a while, Jiang Yixi showed an expression of "I really lost to you". He sighed, "I know it's different, but... isn't this exactly what you wanted?"
Chu Lu: "No..."
He didn't know where the other party came to this conclusion, but he really didn't mean that at all.
Jiang Yixi didn't seem to care about his denial and continued, "To be honest, this is a bit difficult... for me and the rest of us..."
“But after a few hundred or thousand years, those of us old guys will fall or ascend... and those younger generations will..."
As he spoke, he turned and glanced at Qing Ye.
Qing Ye, who has not said a word and is even still holding his breath: !!!
“Ahem—”
"Hmm! ...Hickey..."
Qing Ye tried hard to hold back the cough that came from his fright, but ended up hiccuping.
Fortunately, Jiang Yixi only glanced at him and then looked away.
Jiang Yixi continued, "At least Xiaoya is still there. I think I can still endure for a while... Yanyun Renqi and the others should have similar ideas..."
Of course, the reality is far from as easy as he said.
Back then, even he himself didn't know what his mood was like when he chased after her, or what he would do when facing Ling Hua who had already fallen into the evil way.
——He wants to get things clear, but what happens after he gets things clear?
But later he had no choice but to go to Yuewang Tower, where he vaguely learned some inside information from the tower's owner.
This guy...he really likes to take everything on himself.
They are friends, right? Not disciples who need his protection...
Jiang Yixi sometimes really doubts this.
but--
Things like the fate of the world and the future of the cultivation world obviously cannot be known by too many people.
The more people know, the greater the danger.
Intellectually, Jiang Yixi could understand it, but emotionally he still couldn't accept it. If Ling Hua had revealed a little more back then, things wouldn't have gotten to that point.
Jiang Yixi stared at Chu Lu who was leaning on Lou Kongyu, and suddenly narrowed his eyes——
"Your soul...is not complete, right?"
