There was a reason why Chu Lu felt that Xiang Wanya's position as the Demon Lord would be in jeopardy if the Heavenly Demon awakened. The Demon Realm was naturally the home of the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon could change the surrounding environment at will and open up new space anytime and anywhere. This was almost the instinct of this creature.
It is rumored that the Demon Realm is very different from the Cultivation Realm. The fact that it is divided into thirteen layers of space from bottom to top is the work of a certain Heavenly Demon. It is said that the Heavenly Demon originally intended to reshape the Demon Realm by imitating the Eighteen Layers of Hell, but he became impatient after reaching the thirteenth layer, so he left a large piece of chaotic space outside.
Although this rumor sounds like a joke, it is not reliable at all.
But based on Chu Lu's understanding of the personalities of these demon cultivators, or celestial demons, 80% of the rumors might be true, and the remaining 20% might be due to lack of strength, or a feeling that the cost outweighs the gain.
In short, the palace he and Xie Jing and others had just rushed to was the chaotic space outside the thirteenth floor.
And where he is now——
It might be the fourteenth floor newly opened up by the current Heavenly Demon Highness...
If this space can be counted as a floor.
The black mist in the space slowly condensed into a ferocious beast several people tall, but the beast was still condensing and shrinking, and finally a human figure stepped out of it.
Judging from his facial features, this man is 60% similar to Ling Hua. However, the flamboyant and bloodthirsty expression on his face completely conceals this similarity, making it impossible to tell the difference.
The demon has no fixed form. The opponent did not even use a human form at the beginning. It was because of fighting with Chu Lu that he became what he is now. But it seems that the temperament difference is too big, and no one noticed this. Otherwise, according to Chu Lu's mission experience over the years, I don't know if he will come up with some kind of brotherly love and hatred script... In short, it is not good for his mission at all.
After encountering two enemies who were so similar to him (Jian Yuan was even exactly the same as him), even Chu Lu felt a little weird.
The person confronting him had already started laughing, the tips of his sharp white teeth gleaming with a sharp light, and his pupils shrinking with excitement, "Long time no see, Linghua."
Along with the call came an attack that tore through space.
No, for the person in front of me, the latter is his normal way of greeting.
Chu Lu: "..."
He dodged the attack a little hastily.
If he hadn't just adapted to this body, he might have been torn in half by this blow.
Chu Lu didn't want to fight with a madman at all, no matter in the past, present, or future...
However, most of the time, the situation is not up to him to decide.
Just like today, he had actually been on guard against the demon that seemed to be sealed since the moment he entered the palace.
Although the seal seemed solid, it even looked like it had just been reinforced.
but……
Seal the demon in the demon world? He felt that Jian Yuan was not in a clear mind.
With that level of sealing, Chu Lu felt that Tianmo was simply too lazy to pay attention to Jianyuan while he was sleeping.
Therefore, when he stopped Jiang Yixi and the other person just now, he made a gesture. Based on the tacit understanding they had over the years, Chu Lu believed that the other party would definitely understand what he meant.
——He will deal with the demon cultivator who has taken over his body, while Jiang Yixi and Jiang Yixi will solve the seal of the demon.
As a result... I was still a step slower in the end.
“Too slow!”
Chu Lu was thinking about all this when a dissatisfied voice came from the other side, "Could it be that you have slept for so many years that your bones have become hard?... How can you please me in this state now?"
Chu Lu: "..."
It’s hard to say whether the bones of this body are hard or not, but his fists are definitely hard.
Over the years, Chu Lu felt that his ability to resist the other party's "mental attack" was indeed much weaker. If it were in the past, he would not have taken this level of nonsense seriously at all.
He raised his hand.
The ice condensed into a dense rain of needles, attacking the direction of the demon. However, the ice needles were not pure white, and the dark purple color at the tips indicated its threat.
However, the demon who was attacked just laughed out loud, his tone full of contempt, and continued: "Have you become so boring too?"
The speaker easily dodged the rain of needles, but the next moment when he tore through space and moved, a spike of ice pierced his body.
The surging demonic energy repaired the damage to the body. No matter how similar they looked in appearance, the composition of the demon was different from that of humans. The wound was repaired in an instant without even a drop of blood flowing out.
The demon's reaction was completely different from that of a normal person. A loud "hahaha" laugh echoed in the space, followed by an agitated voice saying, "Yes, yes, that's it..."
“As expected of you…hahahaha…excite me a little more!!”
Chu Lu: "..."
With a stiff face, he turned sideways to avoid the tear in the space next to him. The expression on his face was colder than the ice under his feet.
——That’s why he doesn’t like fighting with this guy!
There is no sense of accomplishment at all...
Facing this psychopath who has both sadistic and masochistic attributes, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will suffer! And every fight is a mental persecution... and he can't just kill him directly.
Is there any opponent more disgusting than this?
Chu Lu felt that even if he counted all his mission experiences, this guy's level would probably rank in the top three.
…
…………
Just outside this space, Jiang Yixi looked at the formation that was just one step away from success, his expression gloomy.
——This is not a sealing formation, but to separate this space...
Under the premise that the space of the Demon Realm is under its control, wanting to seal the demon in the Demon Realm is a joke.
Just a little bit.
Jiang Yixi stared at the place where the vortex had just appeared, his expression cold.
The place he was looking at had already had a very deep sword mark, which was obviously the mark left by Xie Jing's attempt to stop him at that moment, but he still failed to stop him.
Among the people present, the most uneasy was Lou Kongyu, who knew almost nothing about the situation.
But he was also keenly aware that although the atmosphere at the scene was cold and stagnant, it was far from being on the verge of breaking out.
He was silent for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask Xie Jing for confirmation. "Senior... Senior Linghua, is he okay?"
Jiang Yixi's sudden attack without any reason had left a deep psychological trauma on Lou Kongyu. Even though the other party later behaved very approachable and took good care of him on the way here, Lou Kongyu still subconsciously kept a distance from him and turned to seek help from Xie Jing, who seemed even more difficult to approach.
Xie Jing lowered his eyes, put away his sword, and indeed responded: "No problem."
He has always believed in his senior brother's strength. A mere demon...
He was just a defeated general in the past.
Lou Kongyu: “…”
Your expression doesn't want to look "no problem".
But after hearing Xie Jing's words, he felt more or less at ease, and had time to think of the "Master" he had just heard. He couldn't help but cast his gaze on the strange young man.
This is the Immortal Senior’s...disciple?
As if he had noticed his gaze, the young man looked up, and his bloodshot eyes made Lou Kongyu's pupils shrink suddenly. He suddenly realized a fact that was particularly obvious, but it was precisely because of this that he had overlooked it -
That's a...demon cultivator, right?
Xiang Wanya's gaze, which initially showed no meaning, suddenly froze when he saw the long sword on Lou Kongyu's back. When he looked at the young man again, there was some different meaning in his gaze.
Lou Kongyu felt that it was a bit like hostility, but he was not so sure, and it seemed that the other party was just looking at him.
At this moment, Lou Kongyu's mind was full of one question: Why is the senior's disciple a demon cultivator?
…
…………
Actually, we can’t blame Lou Kongyu for not knowing these things.
For various reasons, although the story of Ling Hua Daojun's fall from the devil attracted the whole cultivation world to hunt him down and was known to everyone in the upper echelons of the cultivation world, it was not widely spread in the outside world. After all, although the whole cultivation world was hunting him down, according to Ling Hua's cultivation level at that time, if he could participate in the hunt instead of being killed, he would have been one of the top people in the cultivation world at that time. On the contrary, it had little impact on ordinary cultivators. This was even more so for the new generation of cultivators who grew up after the war between Taoism and Demons was completely stopped.
In addition, those who knew about the incident at that time tacitly remained silent.
——After all, whether it was the former leader of the Taihua Sect who fell into the devil, or the leaders of the major sects in the cultivation world who were kidnapped to the Wuwang Sea and forced to swear an oath and reach an agreement with the demon world...
Each of these incidents is a huge scandal for the world of cultivation.
It is human nature to want to suppress it.
But the consequences...
The previous leader of Taihua Sect quelled the war between Taoism and demons by himself, but he was struck by thunder as a result.
This kind of rumor was probably something those people didn't expect at first.
By the time they realized it, the news had already spread widely. Several versions of the story of how the former leader of Taihua Sect sacrificed his life to quell the conflict had been made into a tale, and Taihua Sect had become the well-deserved largest sect.
Insider: “…”
It seems like something is wrong, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong.
Indeed, under the coercion of that demon, the cultivation world swore a non-interference oath with the demon world as a witness of the Way of Heaven, and the other party did die from a lightning catastrophe afterwards...
But... that was a demon!! A fallen demon cultivator!
The scary thing about rumors is their brainwashing ability. If heard enough times, even the person who spread the rumor in the first place will become confused.
However, the matter was finally settled because the usually reclusive Yuewanglou came forward and confirmed this speculation.
The owner of Yuewang Tower admitted personally that the former leader of Taihua Sect, Linghua Daojun, was the [savior] of this world.
After this final conclusion, the news that Ling Hua Daojun had once fallen into the devil could not be released. After all, even the cultivation world had to consider the impact of the savior's fall into the devil on ordinary cultivators.
…
…………
However, Lou Kongyu is somewhat different from other cultivators in the world of cultivation.
After all, although the three of him, Shen, Mu, and Ruan, were not very old, their status and seniority in Taihua Sect were extraordinary, and many secrets in the eyes of outsiders were just stories to them. Not to mention the other two, at least Shen Jingzhi knew everything about his uncle's past - after all, Xie Jing had no intention of hiding these things from his disciples.
Lou Kongyu didn't know all this, purely because Chu Lu intended for him to avoid related rumors, and until now he only had a vague understanding of Ling Hua Daojun's affairs.
The most detailed information he had was the introduction Shuanghua had given him previously - which was filled with a lot of false exaggerations and fabrications - and Chu Lu later explained and reminded him about this.
However, even so, Lou Kongyu had no way of knowing about his fall from the devil.
After all, Shuanghua was with Chu Lu only before Chu Lu entered the demon world. After that, it was sent back to Fengxia Villa. It didn't know much about what happened afterwards, so naturally it couldn't tell Lou Kongyu about it.
Therefore, in Lou Kongyu's current understanding, the immortal senior, that is, Linghua Daojun, is the former sword master of Shuanghua. He used to be a very powerful sword cultivator, but for some unknown reason he encountered an accident and turned into a magic cultivator. He was still outstanding and made a great name in the battle between Taoism and demons, so that the enemies were scared and fled when they heard his name (Shuanghua's words).
so……
Lou Kongyu stared at Xiang Wanya and fell into deep thought.
——Is it because the immortal master was devastated by the fact that his disciple fell into evil that he is unwilling to accept disciples anymore?
He pursed his lips, his face heavy.
But even so, the senior still went over to save this disciple.
