Chapter 60
Jiang Wan admitted that she initially went out to take Zhao Yu for a walk with the intention of walking the dog.
Anyway, Zhao Yu's accusations sounded like drizzle to Jiang Wan, and she could make it evaporate without any effort.
So no matter whether it was targeting or framing, Jiang Wan was confident enough to let Zhao Yu become a clown in everyone's eyes through the stage she built herself.
Jiang Wan didn't take the red pupil stone in her hand or the so-called 'Demon-Falling Order' seriously, but he didn't want to cooperate easily as Zhao Yu wished.
But a look from Zhao Yu made Jiang Wan realize that something was wrong. Jiang Wan could keenly detect malice.
If Zhao Yu was only targeting Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan would be happy to play with her for a longer time, but Zhao Yu should never have set her sights on Lin Xubai.
Even if others don’t know, doesn’t she know...Lin Xubai is half human, half demon!
Why did she rush forward to get the token? It was because she had a hunch that if Zhao Yu couldn't get it, she would turn to Lin Xubai.
Jiang Wan confirmed that the Demon-Falling Order was ineffective on her, but she was not sure whether the seal on Lin Xubai would be broken by the Demon-Falling Order. She also didn't know how Zhao Yu had managed to frame her and come to the conclusion by accident.
If she hadn't always given unilateral orders to the Demon Realm, she would have believed it.
The Demon Falling Order was a real headache for her. However, Lin Xubai's identity must not be exposed at this time when all the immortal sects were gathered together!
So she took the initiative to rush forward and hold the Demon-Falling Order in her hand, drawing everyone's attention to herself. At the same time, she deliberately went to the head of the sect to complain with the token in her hand. In fact, she wanted to stay away from Lin Xubai and prevent the Demon-Falling Order from affecting him.
Facts have proved that Jiang Wan's move to cut the Gordian knot was right.
What surprised Jiang Wan the most and was unexpected was Lin Xubai’s final brilliant assist of the mantra talisman!
As expected, she and Xiaobai are in perfect sync!
Look, under the mantra talisman, Zhao Yu revealed her intentions clearly.
"I did all this just to find the Xingxuan Immortal Venerable who has disappeared for thousands of years!"
This voice in his heart immediately exploded the entire square, and everyone in Guiyuan Sect turned pale.
"What a thief crying 'stop thief'!" Fu Bingqiao cursed with a cold and horrified look.
The Sect Master flicked his sleeves, and the spiritual power around him seemed to break free and spread out in all directions. His voice was as angry as thunder, "Zhao Yu, Huo Xiangqi, and the fake Sanniang framed our fellow disciples. From today on, their cultivation within the sect will be abolished and they will be expelled from the Guiyuan Sect."
With a flick of the whisk, a golden light pierced into the two men's eyebrows. In an instant, a circle of golden runes surrounded their bodies. As the golden runes moved, the years of cultivation of the two men disappeared completely.
"Since you are from the Wuxiang League, then practice the skills of your Wuxiang League. I have already removed all the memories of my Guiyuan Sect's skills and sword techniques from your sea of consciousness." After saying this, he ignored the crying of the fake Sanniang and directly rolled up the three people with his magic power and threw them towards the Wuxiang League.
As for the Wuxiang Alliance that got involved...
Upon seeing this, the elders of the six sects immediately understood what was meant and began to take their leave.
"Ah, it's getting late. I still have important matters to attend to in the Qiyao Sect. I won't bother you any more today," the elder of the Qiyao Sect bowed to the leader of the Guiyuan Sect, signaled his disciples with his eyes, and left with them.
"My young disciple has gained a lot from the competition these days. He needs some quiet time to retreat and recuperate. I will take him back to Dianxing Sect now." After the elder of Dianxing Sect finished speaking, he pulled the disciple who was like a wooden stake on the stage and turned into a stream of light and flew away.
The remaining members of the Dianxing Sect immediately saluted the Guiyuan Sect leader and the peak masters and elders, and left one after another.
How Guiyuan Sect settles accounts with Wuxiang Alliance is Guiyuan Sect’s own business, and they will not interfere.
The cultivators from other sects followed suit. In just a moment, the originally bustling square was left with only the disciples of Guiyuan Sect and the people from Wuxiang League who were forcibly detained.
The originally grand and lively Immortal Sect Competition came to an end.
Humaoting was the last to withdraw. They didn't really want to leave, but seeing the unhappy faces of the leaders of Guiyuan Sect, they knew they couldn't stay no matter what. They could only put away the shadow stones with regrets on their faces and reluctantly leave Guiyuan Sect.
This year's Immortal Sect Competition successfully surpassed all previous competitions.
Wuxiang League and Zhao Yu are now truly famous in the world of immortal cultivation.
Jiang Wan received condolences from the sect leader to the masters of various peaks.
The comfort items received were even more generous than the rewards from the Immortal Sect Competition.
He is indeed the biggest winner of this Immortal Sect Competition!
*
Beneath the giant tree covered with red silk, the crystal clear water is dotted with transparent lotus leaves.
The once simple cabin has been given a whole new look.
Jiang Wan sat sideways against the railing, reaching out to fiddle with the pink flower buds that were taller than the railing.
"Alas, although I knew I was a celebrity in Guiyuan Sect, Zhao Yu's behavior has made everyone treat me like a rare animal in the zoo. Oh, I mean, a rare spiritual beast." Jiang Wan was very distressed about this, and then suddenly turned around excitedly, "See, I was right, right? Most of the famous and upright sects are hypocritical. Look at Zhao Yu, who comes from a famous family, she can do anything for her own selfish desires!"
Lin Xubai had placed Jiang Wan's favorite snacks and tea on the table next to him, and after Jiang Wan turned around, he calmly put the warm teacup into her hand.
"Um..."
After the scene ended, Lin Xubai did not ask Jiang Wan why the Demon-Falling Order did not work on her. No matter who Jiang Wan was, she had never done anything to harm anyone.
As for the master's mantra talisman, whether Jiang Wan used some trick to avoid it, Lin Xubai felt that it was not the case, and Jiang Wan's answer was the truth.
It was not out of trust in the mantra talisman, but Lin Xubai felt that Jiang Wanlai Guiyuan Sect was only devoted to him, so naturally all his answers were true.
Jiang Wan sat up straight, took a sip, and narrowed her eyes happily. "She's still talking about me, but I think she's no better than the demon cultivator she's talking about. Besides, the Demon Realm is different now, isn't it?"
After saying that, he took another bite of the Handan Lingsu.
"Hmm..." Lin Xubai raised his hand calmly, and gently wiped away the crumbs from the corner of Jiang Wan's mouth with his fingertips. "Indeed, the demon cultivators in the Demon Realm have been secluded in recent years, which is different from the past when they ran around the continent."
"No way!" Jiang Wan paused holding the Handan Lingsu, his black pupils widening. "You don't know, ever since that Demon Lord took over the Demon Realm, he's established rules and regulations for the Demon Cultivators there, and laid out many plans. Let's not talk about the rules, just look at those plans. Now the Demon Cultivators there don't have time to go out!"
"Ah, I only found out about this because Gu Yun complained to me sometimes because she was too tired." Jiang Wan explained, "All the demon cultivators under the Demon Lord must abide by the 'Demon Cultivator's Code of Conduct'. It is strictly forbidden to slaughter mortals at will, and anything that harms the will of heaven is also not allowed."
"Is that so..." Lin Xubai's eyes trembled slightly, and he looked up at Jiang Wan's little face which was trying hard to be stern. Seeing her beaming with joy when she mentioned the Demon Lord... Lin Xubai felt very upset.
My good mood suddenly disappeared.
Seeing Lin Xubai's indifferent reaction and his whole body covered with frost, Jiang Wan inexplicably became cold for a moment. She thought Lin Xubai didn't believe her, so she immediately became excited.
"Of course not! The Demon Realm is now well-developed. There are schools teaching ordinary people in the Demon Realm to read and write, there are demon cultivators specializing in clearing wasteland and farming, there are construction teams specializing in repairing houses, and many more. Every demon is involved according to his or her expertise. Now the demon cultivators in the entire Demon Realm are all mobilized!"
"And the Demon Lord isn't at all a violent demon as rumored. Those claims of skinning and soul-refining are just lies! Look at her since she took the throne. Has she done anything bad? No, on the contrary, she's been building the Demon Realm, promoting friendly and peaceful coexistence between immortals and demons. Look how peaceful the Demon Realm is now, and how peaceful the world of immortal cultivation is!
The Demon Lord is just an ordinary demon. At most, his appearance is slightly different from others, and his strength is slightly higher than that of the entire Beiyan Continent.
Just think about it, white hair and blue eyes, how beautiful it is!"
Jiang Wan gestured as she spoke, and Lin Xubai seemed to see through her narration the sorrowful faces of the demons in the Demon Realm.
Being able to force the Demon Sect to make such a change, even though he hated the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan, he had to admit that this Demon Lord was indeed not the bloodthirsty and cruel tyrant described by the demon cultivators of the Immortal Sect.
As for what Jiang Wan said about it being beautiful...ha...it's just flashy!
Doesn’t he look like a demon lord?
"I think the Immortal Sect is still the same as before, nothing has changed. It's full of chaos and internal strife! It's better to stay in the Demon Realm." Jiang Wan quietly mixed in his thoughts, "What do you think?"
Lin Xubai looked at Jiang Wan, who was leaning towards him with hope in his eyes, and said, "If I don't agree, will you abandon me and go to the Demon Realm to find this great Demon Lord you mentioned?"
"How could that be!" Jiang Wan, "No matter where I go, I will definitely take you with me! We will go anywhere together, forever! I promise!"
"Even if you stay in Guiyuan Sect?" Lin Xubai's eyes were dim: "Will you always stay with me?"
Although Jiang Wan didn't know why Lin Xubai used the word 'accompany', she still nodded affirmatively: "Of course, we will always be together. As long as you don't let go of my hand, I will always be with you!"
Just like Jiang Wan said before, it has been so long that she has become accustomed to having Lin Xubai around.
At the beginning, Jiang Wan could firmly tell the succubus her original intention of staying in Guiyuan Sect, but if you ask her now, she can't tell her her intention of taking advantage of her as firmly as before.
In fact, she could have just left for the Demon Realm as Lin Xubai had said. With their long-standing friendship, she was confident that even if Lin Xubai followed the original novel's timeline, he wouldn't kill her.
Now the Demon Realm, the Demon Clan, and she no longer have to worry about being killed off by the plot.
She could have gone back to being free and intimidating the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
The more she said "I want to be with Lin Xubai", the more it became ingrained in Jiang Wan's heart, just like when a lie is told too many times it becomes true, and when a mask is worn for too long it can no longer be taken off.
"I almost forgot about it!" Jiang Wan took off the fan-shaped hairpin on her head, and it turned into a white jade hair crown with a flash of light.
Without waiting for Lin Xubai's reaction, Jiang Wan leaned close to Lin Xubai, pressed his shoulders and signaled him to lower his head, and quickly replaced his hair crown. The elegant white jade cloud pattern matched Lin Xubai's folding fan.
"What do you think this Xingxuan Immortal Venerable is like? Zhao Yu, a young lady from a prominent family, spent five years lurking in Guiyuan Sect just to find him!" Jiang Wan complained. This time, she didn't complain about Xingxuan Immortal Venerable being an old man. After all, they had fought each other and met once before. "Why do I feel like he's everywhere..."
"If I go out, I'll encounter his magic weapon..." Jiang Wan raised his eyes, then looked towards the direction of Guiyuan Sect's main hall, curled his lips, "If I don't go out, I'll be inspected by his magic weapon."
"Although Zhao Yu's trick didn't succeed in the end, and Xingxuan Immortal Venerable didn't show up, but..."
This person, known as the number one person in Beiyan Continent, really didn't notice her abnormality...
Thinking about the joke that was said in the square at that time, Jiang Wan felt a little chilly.
"Oh, by the way, Master Lai Feng taught me a new spell, a spell specifically for summoning immortal artifacts." Jiang Wan changed his mood in a second and made a little joke in a funny tone, "If the Xuantian Ruler is taken away by Xingxuan Immortal Venerable in the future, we can use this spell to snatch it back from Xingxuan Immortal Venerable!"
Jiang Wan taught the spell formula to Lin Xubai and urged Lin Xubai to try the effect.
The Xuantian ruler, which had turned into a hair crown, responded with a faint white fluorescence, and the red and white lights intertwined as if beating the rhythm.
"Huh?" Jiang Wan was stunned.
Where does the red light come from?
Take a closer look——
Isn’t this the Demon-Falling Order that was taken back by the Sect Leader?
"No... How come this spell for summoning artifacts that recognize their masters can also summon artifacts that don't recognize their masters?" Jiang Wan frowned.
This isn’t quite right, is it…?
Jiang Wan: ???
Lin Xubai:!!!
Not only that, it also approached Lin Xubai very intimately, with red light flashing on its body, as if it was trying to attract the attention of its owner.
Jiang Wan tilted her head as she followed Luo Mo Ling's movements. She could see that Luo Mo Ling was trying to please Lin Xubai...
Wait a minute...
Lin Xubai... He didn't react to the Demon Falling Order either...
Jiang Wan looked up at Lin Xubai expressionlessly.
