Jiang Yixi felt that if Ling Hua continued like this, his two disciples would become possessed sooner or later.
He simply deprived Chu Lu of the right to speak and asked directly: "Are you worried that the former Demon Lord will appear again, causing the people in the demon world to be uneasy, which will be bad for Wan Ya?"
Xiang Wanya, who was standing beside him, suddenly looked up with a half-disbelieving and expectant gaze, and Chu Lu nodded.
Lou Kongyu who was listening: ???
The former Demon Lord? Does he mean the Immortal Senior?
Without paying any attention to Lou Kongyu's shock, Jiang Yixi noticed that Ling Hua was about to speak, so he decisively interrupted the other party's narration which was bound to make the situation worse.
He added: "...I heard that although the cold pond on the Jade Mountain Peak of Taihua Sect is a place for punishing disciples, it also has the function of calming the mind and cleansing the evil spirit..."
Chu Lu nodded again.
Xiang Wanya had opened his eyes wide and his breathing became rapid.
——It’s not that you’re going to punish him alone regardless of whether he’s right or wrong, but you’re worried that the evil spirit in his body will erupt?
...No, if you put it that way, it's not a punishment at all...
Jiang Yixi was about to continue asking, but that question suddenly reminded him of something.
The Law Enforcement Hall of Taihua Sect has a forbidden area for punishing disciples who have committed mistakes, but Yushan Peak has never been there. Because Jiugong Sect and Taihua Sect have a close relationship, he often goes there. He remembers that the mountain in that direction is usually... where the elders of the sect go in seclusion? And the owner of Yushan Peak before, could it be Hanshan Sword Master?
And that cold pond...
Has this happened before?
A possibility suddenly emerged in his mind. After a guess went through his mind, he spoke with a semi-affirmative tone, "The cold pond at Yushan Peak was not formed naturally, was it?"
The environment over at Yushan Peak does not seem to be conducive to the birth of a cold pond.
Sure enough, I got a positive response from the other party.
Memories of the past emerged bit by bit in front of him, and he suddenly locked onto one scene, "That time in Beiyuan, you were injured but still chasing that cold dragon that was about to transform into a dragon... Was it to find the cold jadeite?"
Chu Lu: "..."
Thinking of the experience of almost dragging Jiang Yixi down, Chu Lu blinked slightly guiltily.
Things like cold chalcedony that can suppress demonic energy are indeed rare, but because of the favor of the mirage shark, he could have traded it with the Hanshui Palace. However, that opportunity was so rare that before he could react, the person had already caught up with him.
Jiang Yixi was really choked this time.
He expected that with Ling Hua's personality, he would not be so harsh to his apprentice. There must be a reason why he treated Wei Yi Qiu and Xiang Wan Ya differently. After observation, he indeed found some inconsistencies. After Xiang Wan Ya's half-demon physique was exposed, some things that were previously puzzling were explained.
But Jiang Yixi felt that he had thought it through thoroughly, but he did not expect Ling Hua to go to this extent.
After risking his life to retrieve a rare treasure that could suppress his apprentice's physical condition, he ended up being treated as a "punishment" by the other party for so many years? !
Jiang Yixi suddenly felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
——He really underestimated Linghua, in every sense...
Seeing that Jiang Yixi had a strange expression on his face, Chu Lu thought that he was remembering the time when he got involved in something.
Although it was indeed thrilling, Chu Lu did not regret it when he thought about it now. In fact, if it happened again, he would make the same choice. At most, he would think of a way to get rid of Jiang Yixi and not let him take the risk with him.
——Which method is more suitable than the cold pond to solve the plot requirements and suppress Xiang Wanya's physical condition at the same time? He must get that piece of cold jade.
Seeing Chu Lu open his mouth to speak, Jiang Yixi was too lazy to figure out the expression on his face, and at the same time, he had no doubt that the next sentence would choke him to death.
Jiang Yixi decided to strike first. He raised his hand to stop Chu Lu and didn't give him any chance to speak. He quickly finished his next words.
"...The reason why I was indifferent to Xiaoya's distress signal was because I had set up a protective formation on his robes and spiritual tools. The jade token was the sword intent you sealed back then... Even if the entire secret realm was turned upside down, nothing would happen to him..."
Chu Lu: ...No, this causal relationship is wrong.
The reason why he didn't move was because that was a key plot point, and Xiang Wanya would meet his chance next.
However, the physical facts are correct.
After all, this world is aware of the sinister intentions of the Son of Destiny, and Chu Lu is not at all worried if the other party does not take full protection when going out. Who knows, maybe one day his apprentice will go out and come back in a mess.
Chu Lu thought this could be explained: "No..."
This time, Jiang Yixi sneered directly, "The protective formations that I made back then all have tracking marks on them. Although it's a bit troublesome, I don't mind going to Taihua Sect again and digging out those spiritual artifact robes one by one..."
Chu Lu was silent.
…
…………
One thing after another, if Jiang Yixi initially talked about things that required evidence, later on it became pure speculation.
And he guessed it very accurately...
Chu Lu: "..."
Should he say that he is worthy of being a friend with whom he had entrusted his life and death? He didn't know that the other party knew him so well.
...When he was being hunted down that year, Chu Lu, who did doubt their fake friendship, felt that he should sincerely apologize now.
…
…………
"I heard that you threw Xiaoya directly into the Demonic Abyss at that time?"
Jiang Yixi's previous questions made Chu Lu feel a little uneasy, but this time it finally matched the plot line of that year. Chu Lu nodded in agreement without hesitation.
At this point, Xiang Wanya, whose expression was blank and who felt as if he was walking on a light cloud and everything was unreal, finally came to his senses a little...
My heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, or flew to the horizon. Everything was covered with a hazy soft light, even the endless sand of the Wuwang Sea had a sweet hue.
It turned out that what he wanted and expected... had already been in his hands.
It's just that he himself is completely clueless.
As for Jiang Yixi's current problem, Xiang Wanya felt that he understood it.
He quickly took over Jiang Yixi's words, "Uncle Jiang, you don't have to say anything. I understand. Master is doing this for my own good..."
The name that he thought he would never call out again came out so easily. Xiang Wanya subconsciously held his breath for a moment, and without waiting for the man to refute, he continued, "The Demon Abyss is the place where you can get familiar with the rules of the demon world the fastest. I..."
However, Jiang Yixi snorted and laughed, interrupted him rudely, and looked at Chu Lu.
He asked, "Will you follow me?"
"When Xiaoya was in the Demon Abyss, you followed behind, right?"
Chu Lu: "..."
The world consciousness of this world is too cruel to his own son. If he is not careful, the child will be tortured to death. He is just worried.
The mission was at the last minute, and it was almost complete. Was it wrong for him to be on high alert and pay close attention to the condition of the Destiny Child? !
That must be reasonable! !
However, Xiang Wanya was staring at him straight beside him, as if she would burst into tears if he nodded.
Oh, he almost forgot that the destined child of this world is still a little crybaby.
When he just brought the person back, his body was covered with snot and tears. It was a sign of Linghua's mysophobia. Chu Lu used all his strength to control himself and not push the person out.
Chu Lu was silent for too long. This time he didn't need to give an answer because everyone already knew the truth.
Xiang Wanya stammered: "...Master..."
…
This is when the group reached the edge of the Wuwang Sea and could see in the distance the green area meeting the yellow sand.
Xiang Wanya hadn't been back to the world of cultivation for a long time, and he even felt that the colors he saw were so bright that they were a little dazzling.
Is this what the world of cultivation is like? His thoughts were almost stagnant and he couldn't respond to him, but the scenes of the past that emerged in his mind made him dazed.
Xiang Wanya suddenly realized that even if Uncle Jiang hadn't said these things, he actually knew them.
When he first entered the mountain gate and had not yet started the fasting period, who prepared the meals for him? When he was seriously injured and unconscious, who took care of him? When his physique went out of control and his demonic energy leaked out, who covered it up for him?
The softness and beauty were so unreal that Xiang Wanya could not tell whether the surroundings were real or an illusion. He might still be stuck in the illusion in the hall and had not woken up, but what kind of illusion could even change memories?
The sob was stuck in his throat, and the pain from the unhealed wound reminded him.
It's not an illusion...
It is the happiness that he truly holds in his hands.
…
…………
"Well, I'll ask one last question—"
The group stepped out of the border of the Wuwang Sea, and at the same time as Jiang Yixi's words fell, a wind blade came straight towards Chu Lu.
Chu Lu:? ? ?
As he was talking, he suddenly changed his attitude, and Chu Lu was full of confusion.
As a qualified formation master, Jiang Yixi was more accustomed to making plans before making decisions. When he really planned to take action, his opponent was already in a dead end with no way out. This rash attack with magic was really not his style. Chu Lu also saw that he was trying to test him, but he didn't understand what Jiang Yixi was testing for a moment.
Chu Lu could certainly easily dodge this kind of harmless wind blade, but Lou Kongyu next to him could not avoid being affected.
But this was not a big deal. Chu Lu raised his sleeves and rolled up the attack, without causing any ripples.
He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yixi, only to see that the other party suddenly covered his face and laughed.
"really."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Chu Lu:?
Xiang Wanya, who was standing aside, had no idea what he was thinking about and his face turned pale.
He murmured, as if he had seen something unbelievable, "...Master?"
The tone was almost choked.
Chu Lu:? ?
In the end, it was Xie Jing who gave the answer.
He spoke each word slowly, "Brother, what you just used... was... spiritual power...?"
Chu Lu, who was still confused, froze.
The system, which finally found an opportunity to show off, proudly announced its presence, "It's just an energy system conversion. With this system master here..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Lu blocked him with a [Mute] button.
system:? ? ?
——Why the hell?!
