"You trapped me here for no apparent reason, and yet you still accuse me of harboring evil intentions. Even though I'm from the Demon Palace, have you ever seen me killing innocent people or harming others?"
Ji Yunshen sneered, his peach blossom eyes full of teasing.
Seeing that Zhuo Yuan didn't say anything, he continued.
"What's the difference between you and the people of the Five Elements Sect?"
"No matter what you say, I won't let you go. Song Qingbai is safe and sound, so you don't have to worry. Besides, I won't harm your life."
Zhuo Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he uttered these words after a long while.
"Humph, Xiaobai almost lost his life to save you, but you are so ungrateful.
You don’t even worry about her life or death? What a good Flame Dragon Clan leader…”
"I will repay her kindness for saving me, so you, a member of the Demon Palace, won't have to worry about it."
"Haha, you keep calling me a Demon Palace person. I see that you, the patriarch of the Flame Dragon Clan, are nothing more than that."
Ji Yunshen's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes moved as he silently observed his expression.
"Zhuo Yuan, what have you been busy with recently? Has something else happened on the Shenwu Continent?"
"Just because I won't kill you, Ji Yunshen, doesn't mean you, a member of the Demon Palace, can act recklessly in front of me. Just stay here and don't forget, the entire Qingyun Sword Sect is searching for you."
Zhuo Yuan's face was serious. When he looked at Ji Yunshen who looked calm, he remembered the message from Shen Rangchen.
"Are you trying to scare me? Don't forget, I won't necessarily lose even if I face Su Xuhai head-on."
Seeing that Zhuo Yuan was still here and had no intention of leaving, Ji Yunshen instantly realized that he had something to ask for.
In the past, he would never speak to me more than three sentences, but now he can talk to me so many times without feeling bored.
"Do you... have a brother named Ji Fusheng?"
Zhuo Yuan didn't want to waste any more time and asked directly.
“Haha, so that’s what I wanted to ask about. How come you’ve seen him? Or has Shen Rangchen seen him?”
Since Zhuo Yuan needed his help, Ji Yunshen had the right to negotiate.
"Tell me everything about him quickly, otherwise..."
"Otherwise? Or kill me? I'm Xiaobai's brother. It would be unjust for you to kill me.
Song Changfeng is considered my adoptive father, and Shen Rangchen is his apprentice. We have a deep connection.
I think he only asked you to trap me, and didn't ask you to kill me!"
"you..."
Zhuo Yuan was slightly annoyed. He shouldn't have made a deal with Chen Rangchen to bring him back. Now he has become a hot potato.
"Was I right? Zhuo Yuan, instead of trading with Chen Rangchen, why don't you make a deal directly with me?
"What the Shen royal family can give you, I will also not lack you. Your Yanlong clan has always lived in seclusion in the mountains, but haven't you still been plundered by those so-called famous and upright sects?"
Ji Yunshen's peach blossom eyes were filled with a hint of smile. He could probably imagine that Shen Rangchen must have promised him something.
"Ji Yunshen, stop talking. Anyone in the Demon Palace can be killed. I will not make a deal with you."
When his thoughts were revealed, Zhuo Yuan's face changed slightly and he turned away.
"Zhuo Yuan, what if I tell you that we weren't the Demon Palace back then, but were tragically exterminated like your Flame Dragon clan, and were then slandered as the Demon Palace by these so-called righteous people? Would you believe it?"
Ji Yunshen sighed heavily, a trace of fatigue passing across his face.
"How come?"
Zhuo Yuan was a little surprised, but since he didn't seem to be lying, he decided to listen to his story first.
"Our sect is originally called the Shuangxiu Sect, not the Demon Palace.
It’s just that our cultivation method is slightly different from that of other sects, and our cultivation speed can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.
Even those who are not naturally intelligent can achieve the desired progress through our practice methods.
Humph, that's why we are in danger of death. They are eager to ascend to heaven and want to force us to hand over our cultivation methods.
Once we are unwilling, they will use despicable means, first spreading rumors and claiming that we are practicing evil methods.
Furthermore, they are trying to frame us for killing people without blinking an eye. Unfortunately, we in the Shuangxiu Sect have never done anything that is against the law of nature.
Just like that, they slandered me as someone from the Demon Palace who everyone wanted to kill."
Ji Yunshen's eyes turned cold, and his tone was filled with anger.
"It is true that the Wuwang Evil Sword injured people. Some time ago, Ji Fusheng wanted to forcibly open the seal that sealed the Evil Sword, and he killed many cultivators for this purpose.
Not only that, but he also killed the highly respected Master Amoghavajra. How do you explain this?
Those were all innocent people. Their deaths in such an unclear manner only serve to confirm the brutality of your Demon Palace, don't they? "
Zhuo Yuan's tone rose slightly, what he said could not be entirely true.
"Ji Fusheng really showed up. I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Ji Yunshen's eyes narrowed as he recalled the changes he had experienced in the Dual Cultivation Sect when he was young, and how he was chosen as the successor by the Demon Palace Master before his death.
He is extremely talented and intelligent, but there is one thing that is worrying about him, that is, since the day he was born, he has three more souls and seven more spirits than other people.
In other words, his mother was originally pregnant with twins, but the other child died before being born.
"Ji Fusheng was extremely vicious and colluded with Su Xuhai. In order to break the seal of the Wuwang Sword at Tianyin Temple, he forced Song Qingbai to extract the sword bone and reseal it, nearly losing his life.
Later, he went to the Spirit Beast Sect to seize the inner elixir of the ancient divine beast that could save Song Qingbai's life.
Not only did he kill the leader of the Zero Beast Sect, but he also caused Song Qingbai to be seriously injured again.
Tell me...if we let him go, will Song Qingbai still have a chance to survive?"
Zhuo Yuan spoke lightly. He knew the position of Song Qingbai in Ji Yunshen's heart.
"Ji Fusheng is not my brother, but a shell that he recreated using my real body.
I didn't expect that he would not change his bad habits and would still do evil things after so many years.
I only regret that I was too soft-hearted to actually kill him."
Ji Yunshen's face darkened slightly. He really didn't want to recall the past.
In the battle between the Demon Palace and the eight major sects, it was not actually Song Changfeng who led the team. Instead, the people of the Five Elements Sect cleverly used the excuse of the Demon Palace to harm people and took advantage of the time when Song Changfeng was in seclusion.
He colluded with people from Qingyun Sword Sect, stole the token and attacked the Demon Palace together. By the time Song Changfeng heard the news and arrived, it was too late.
A catastrophe had already occurred. As he watched the Shuangxiu Sect being destroyed and blood flowing like a river, he felt powerless.
Fortunately, when he used his spiritual sense to investigate, he discovered Ji Yunshen who was about to go crazy.
At that time, there was another soul in his body. When Song Changfeng was exploring its cultivation talent, he remembered the prophecy he had heard in the Star Hall.
In order to prevent the Shenwu Continent from experiencing another disaster, he had no choice but to separate the other soul from Ji Yunshen's body and bring him back to the Qingyun Sword Sect.
