Chapter 28: The Blue Sea It’s called the Blue Sea!
Although he became a disciple of the elders of the Hehuan Sect and became one of the sect's core disciples, Fang Yuan was not a human, but a small fox demon from the Qingqiu clan among the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
——This is what Ye Ziqing told Chu Sheng when she first became Yun Mengzi's disciple.
There is no distinction between people in education, and the world is united. Although the Hehuan Sect does not have such a grand goal, it will not refuse Mao Rongrong's initiative to throw himself into its arms.
After all, who doesn’t like furry things?
Therefore, from the very beginning, when Fang Yuan did not immediately escape from the illusion, Chu Sheng realized that there was something wrong. And when the jade doll climbed up the tree, what happened further confirmed Chu Sheng's suspicion.
"Boom!" On the other side, Yuan Qi and Qi An were fighting with the violent black dragon. Several sect leaders were swept by the aftermath of the battle, were injured and defeated, and new sect leaders resolutely took over.
Yuan Qi and Qi An's current conditions don't seem as good as they appear.
Chu Sheng had already seen Gui Xuan, who had been hiding, come out again and gave him a sharp, angry look.
Well, after all, Master had earnestly entrusted me with the task of taking good care of myself at the Dharma Cultivation Competition, but now, after running a few laps...
Chu Sheng looked at his current state. Between the two choices of going back and getting scolded now and going back and getting scolded later, he happily decided to play dead for the time being and ignore Gui Xuan's gaze that was as real as substance.
"Do you know anything about the current situation of this black dragon, Xiao Fangyuan?"
"We can't kill it no matter what! Senior Sister, we can't let Yuan Qi or anyone else strengthen the master-servant contract..."
Fang Yuan held Chu Sheng's hand tightly. Perhaps because he was too angry, or perhaps because he was excited to see a fellow human being, his body was shaking slightly unconsciously.
"That's... that's a dragon! It's a pure-blooded demon from the deep forest and swamp! If you force a master-servant contract on a demon, it will commit suicide without hesitation at the slightest opportunity!"
And now, only ten years have passed since the last time the human race and the demon race signed the non-aggression alliance of the mountains.
If an accident occurs at this moment where a powerful demon is forced to self-destruct by being contracted, the war between the demon race and the human race, which was finally quelled due to the invasion of alien demons, will be reignited in an instant!
"I understand." Chu Sheng immediately understood the importance of this matter. She calmed Fang Yuan's restless mood, took out the collar-like defensive magic weapon from the mustard seed and put it on him.
In Chu Sheng's field of vision, there was no figure of the young Dharma cultivator, but a furry and chubby fox cub, which was staring at her with its eyes as clear as black grapes, with a helpless and dependent look.
...You are still a baby, Junior Brother Fang Yuan.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Fangyuan. Senior Sister has entrusted Duo'er and the baby to you. You will definitely be able to bring them back to Fellow Daoist Hua Meng safely, right?"
"I can!" Fang Yuan opened his eyes wide. "I can!"
Chu Sheng gently rubbed the little fox's head, and then placed the self-defense magic tools for Chen Duoer and Yuwawa, and finally stood up straight.
"I know that Senior Brother Ziqing must have left a communication jade bead on you before he left, right?"
"Yes... yes, but I just tried it and it seems there is no way to send the message." Fang Yuan said hesitantly.
"Keep sending. As long as you have some free time, keep sending," Chu Sheng said. "Senior Brother Ziqing is skilled in formations. His communication jade bead will definitely be able to transmit the message as long as it finds a gap in the shielding. I don't believe he didn't have a backup plan for the Dharma Cultivation Competition."
While Fang Yuan and Chu Sheng were talking, Yuan Qi and Qi An's siege had already begun to show results.
After a fierce fight, Qi An seized the opportunity and slashed out with his sword with all his might. In an instant, the dragon's body burst into countless bloody flowers!
The black dragon roared in pain instantly, and Yuan Qi followed closely behind, using the Heavenly Flame Demon-Suppressing Umbrella to condense a Heavenly Fire Chain that firmly bound the black dragon's torso and claws.
"Success?" Qinghe wiped his face, not knowing whether it was dust or blood left on his hands. He looked at the black dragon that gradually gave up struggling, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"fine……"
Fortunately, the strength of Yuan Qi and Qi An is enough to rival the Nascent Soul stage, and coupled with the secret technique of Zhongnan Taoist Sect to control spirit beasts, they were able to subdue the black dragon again!
There were quite a few team leaders who thought the same as Qinghe. Although they didn't show it on their faces, they all felt relieved in their hearts and felt a little more relaxed.
But Yuan Qi and Qi An did not show any relief on their faces. They approached the black dragon cautiously, preparing to plant a new surrender contract.
Qi An intuitively felt that something was wrong. This intuition came from the experience he had accumulated from countless battles, while Yuan Qi discovered the clue when he was using the Spirit Beast Technique.
Although the person who interfered had made extremely subtle changes to the contract and the magic, Yuan Qi could sense a hint of disharmony based on the faintly visible seal on the black dragon's forehead.
...No! The black dragon in front of him was not the original spiritual beast of Zhongnan Dao Sect, the black dragon!
“——Roar!!!!!” The black dragon, which had already calmed down, suddenly raised its head, and without warning, its body expanded rapidly, breaking the chains. Then, its huge tail swung directly towards Yuan Qi and Qi An who were nearby!
"Qi An!"
Yuan Qi hurriedly activated the Tianyan Demon-Suppressing Umbrella, and even though Qi An quickly raised his hand to block with his sword, he was still knocked into the rock wall by the huge impact force!
"Something really happened." Chu Sheng noticed the changes that happened to the black dragon and prepared to go there.
“——Senior Sister!”
Fang Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her collar.
Looking at Chu Sheng's overly young profile, he suddenly realized that the young sister in front of him was actually less than 20 years old. He immediately regretted that he had just vented all the pressure in his heart.
"Senior Sister Chu Sheng, I didn't say anything just now, you don't have to go..."
You are so young, and you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The mutation of the black dragon is not your responsibility. No one will blame you if you let your senior brothers and sisters at the Golden Core stage take on the responsibility!
He grabbed the collar of his junior sister's clothes and pleaded silently.
Chu Sheng blinked, looked at Fang Yuan's pleading and worried expression, and smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm the team leader, Xiao Fangyuan."
Being a disciple of the Hehuan Sect while practicing the Ruthless Way is bound to lead to countless troubles and difficulties. Perhaps it's the inability to improve your cultivation, the misunderstandings of others, or the constant dangers you face, but so what?
She has a master who supports her with all his heart, fellow disciples who care for her in their own way, the Tao that watches over her from the shadows, and countless unknowns waiting for her to explore...
The whole world is her life challenge, but Chu Sheng has identified with it.
Agreeing means that she will only face challenges again and again and will never stand idly by when facing difficulties.
So Chu Sheng drew his sword.
"Zhuo Qing, I know you are listening now!" After Yuan Qi was attacked by the black dragon and retreated dozens of steps, he did not look at Qi An's position at the first time, but immediately called out Gui Xuan who was hiding nearby.
"This black dragon isn't a spiritual beast from our Zhongnan Dao Sect, but a demon from nowhere! Now that things have come to this, if you have any medicine that can paralyze the demons, please give it to me immediately!"
Since Yuan Qi did not reveal his vest even at this time, Gui Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, could no longer hide when her name was called, and could only speak up.
"While it's true that I do have this medicine, you're overthinking it, Yuan Qi. Even though I've come to the Dharma Cultivation Competition, it doesn't mean I've reached the level those old guys hoped for, nor does it mean I can achieve the effects you envision."
Guixuan explained the solution he had thought of.
"You shouldn't be thinking about how to control this black dragon now, but rather informing the elders of Zhongnan Dao Sect about which angle to forcibly break through the defensive formation with the least loss—"
"But this will result in meaningless casualties..." Yuan Qi looked at him deeply, "and this kind of thing, we could have avoided it!"
"We in Liangyi Valley like to talk about the benevolent nature of doctors, but there's also a saying in the valley: everyone has their own destiny. If someone dies here, it's their destiny."
Guixuan said calmly.
"Don't look at me like that, Yuan Qi. The principle of Liangyi Valley is to accept money from people and do things for them. I accepted the commission from Venerable Yunmeng and was able to leave the valley and accompany the Hehuan Sect. Naturally, I participated in this Dharma Cultivation Competition only to look after Chu Sheng."
"——I only care about her life or death, what does other people have to do with me?"
Qi An was unaware of the dispute between Yuan Qi and Gui Xuan.
With Qi An's ability, Yuan Qi believed that the black dragon's attack just now would not cause any harm to the root, but the water attribute of this black dragon monster contained a mystery. The mist illusion, as one of its talents, was naturally integrated into its every move.
Qi An was caught off guard and his consciousness instantly fell into darkness!
"Senior Brother? Senior Brother!"
Qi An opened his eyes in a daze, and the black-haired and black-eyed girl smiled happily when she saw him wake up.
"Great, Senior Brother, you're finally awake!"
This was the disciple his master had accepted many years ago, named Chu Sheng.
"...Junior sister?" He was a little stuck. The girl's name should have been called thousands of times, but at this moment, there was a strange sign of a pause. So Qi An swallowed the name and switched to a more vague reference.
"You're acting so strangely today, senior brother." The girl came closer and reached out to fiddle with his sword tassel. She looked very familiar with Qi An, with a lively and bright smile on her face.
"You agreed to teach me sword skills today, but I woke up early and you were still sleeping. I'm going to tell Master that you're slacking off!"
"I'm not being lazy... I'll definitely do what I promised you," Qi An said subconsciously. "You want to learn sword spirit? Then you need a water-attributed spirit sword first."
"Hey, Brother, Master has already thought of what you said!"
The girl proudly drew out her beloved spiritual sword and showed it to him:
"Look, it's a very beautiful sword, no less beautiful than your Luoshui! It also has a nice name..."
"What's it called?"
Qi An knew clearly that he was in an illusion. Reason told him to escape, but at the moment, he only stared blankly at the slender, emerald-green sword, its name on the tip of his tongue, as if he would be spoken out in the next second.
"It's called Bi Hai!"
The girl said proudly, "One day, I will make Bi Hai's name resound throughout the entire cultivation world!"
