Chapter 87 Demon Lord 087%
Something big really happened outside.
Gu Tianci took Mo Xuanxiao straight to Yaowang Sect and mobilized hundreds of disciples from the main sect.
When they arrived at the Medicine King Sect, it was in chaos. Some were screaming, some were fleeing, and some were shouting, "What's wrong with you? These are all your fellow disciples!"
Looking around, Mo Xuanxiao thought it was a melee within the sect at first. But when he looked carefully, he found that although those disciples who were roaring ferociously were disciples of the Wanmen Xian Sect, they had no whites of their eyes, and black air was hidden around their bodies. Their movements were stiff, like puppets being controlled by someone.
Seeing that the Medicine King Sect's disciples were no longer able to restrain these puppets, he drew his sword, drew a circle with blood, and commanded, "Gather them together."
The disciples of the main sect rushed to help, and together they surrounded the puppets in an area. Suddenly, a golden barrier rose from the ground, trapping the puppets inside.
"What's going on?" Mo Xuanxiao frowned.
Gu Tianci explained, "These are all disciples we rescued from the demon world. Some of them were severely injured and have been staying in the Medicine King Sect for treatment. They were fine before, but for some reason they went crazy tonight, biting everyone they saw and losing their mind."
Not counting Qu Jingxian, they had rescued a total of twenty-three disciples from the Wanmen Xian Sect from the demonic realm. This rescue had been incredibly smooth, almost eerily so. So, out of caution, Gu Tianci had led them straight to the Yaowang Sect, fearing the demons might have used some unorthodox magic on these disciples.
At that time, the leader of the Yaowang Sect personally checked and assured that there was nothing wrong with these disciples. Who knew that such a thing would suddenly happen.
"Hey, Third Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?" A disciple of the Medicine King Sect noticed that his junior brother next to him was shaking.
Noticing the scratch on his junior brother's neck, he leaned closer and asked with concern, "Junior brother, are you hurt?"
At this moment, the junior brother suddenly raised his head and bit the face that was close to him. His face was pale without the whites of his eyes, and his throat made a hoarse sound.
“Ah—” Blood splattered everywhere, and the disciple screamed, “Brother, are you crazy? Let me go!”
"What are you still standing there for? Go and save them!"
There was another round of chaos. The surrounding disciples rushed over to pull people away. In the struggle, disciples were constantly scratched and transformed into demons. Mo Xuanxiao realized that something was wrong and shouted a warning: "Don't get bitten by the puppets, or you will be assimilated and infected by them."
They discovered it too late. More and more disciples were being scratched and assimilated, their symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and they were wailing in pain. As Mo Xuanxiao was trapping these assimilated disciples in a barrier again, disciples from other sects came anxiously reporting, "Something's happened to Tianzun. The disciples rescued from the demon world have lost their minds and gone mad, and have injured many of their fellow disciples."
Gu Tianci sighed, "Oh no! Those disciples we released have also become puppets."
Gu Tianci had sent some of the less seriously injured disciples back to their respective sects, rather than allowing them to remain in the Medicine King Sect. Now that the situation in the Medicine King Sect was under control, and the other sects were in chaos, Gu Tianci's scalp tingled as he glanced up at the sky, "I'm worried that the other sects have also fallen into this trap."
After all, they rescued more than 40 people who were scattered in various immortal sects, so the situation would not be good now.
"Brother, please quickly send a message to all the major immortal sects to be on guard."
"Master Hua, these disciples need your care. Please quickly research a cure. The other disciples, please check if they have any injuries and quickly go to the other sects to help."
After making the arrangements, Mo Xuanxiao immediately rushed to Xingyang Sect. Qu Jingxian was the only disciple from Xingyang Sect sent to Wanmen Xian Sect, and he was afraid that something might happen to her.
Tonight, I am destined to be sleepless.
…
Compared to the hustle and bustle in the Immortal Sect, Qu Yaoyao fell into a deep sleep due to drunkenness and could not wake up from her dream.
She fell into the strange dream that she had been having over and over again: a bloody sky, heavy snow, a trembling whiteness all around, and a man in red holding her, whose face she could not see clearly.
Each time the dream progressed, each time allowing Qu Yaoyao to see more clearly. This time, she saw the rolling snow-capped mountains beyond the cloak, the endless emerald green lake, and the few towering fairy trees that rose from the snow along the mountain road.
These scenes are so familiar, isn’t this the world inside the Kunlun Stone?
boom--
The world began to tremble again. An avalanche struck, sending a torrential downpour of snow crashing down upon them. Several streaks of red light pierced through the snow, merging with the crimson sky. Qu Yaoyao stared blankly at the heavy snow pouring down towards her, then suddenly woke from her dream.
"Kunlun Stone."
"It's actually Kunlun Stone." Qu Yaoyao sat up and gasped.
She should have thought of it earlier, when she saw the blood-red sky and heavy snow, that it was the Kunlun Stone World where she had cultivated. However, the world in her dream was not blocked by the barrier, and the blood-red sky was blended with other colors. Qu Yaoyao guessed that the dream must be the Kunlun Divine Mountain that was opened after the Kunlun Stones were gathered.
How could she have a dream related to Kunlun Mountain?
What does this recurring strange dream have to do with her? Who is the man in red holding her, and where is he taking her?
All sorts of questions piled up in Qu Yaoyao's mind. When she thought of the man in red in her dream, she vaguely realized that he was Chao Yuan. Remembering what Chao Yuan had said to her, Qu Yaoyao pulled her hair and whispered, "Is he trying to take me to see the real him?"
The Crown Prince Emperor Feng is sealed in the Kunlun Sacred Mountain. Xie Qingxun and Chao Yuan must be the incarnations of Emperor Feng.
If this is true, Chao Yuan fulfilled his promise to her, then why did he remain silent, and why was she so sad.
【Are you going to abandon me? 】
[You don't want me anymore.]
Thinking of what she had heard in her dream, Qu Yaoyao's eyes welled up with inexplicable emotion, and her heart ached. Perhaps the Kunlun Stone held the answer to all this. Qu Yaoyao left her bed and prepared to retrieve the Kunlun Stone, wanting to search for any clues within it.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gu Tianci hurried past. When he saw Qu Yaoyao open the door, he turned around and walked towards her.
"You're finally awake." Grabbing Qu Yaoyao's hand and walking out, Gu Tianci said tiredly, "The entire sect has been busy all night, and half of the cultivation world has been alarmed, but you're the only one who can still sleep through the night."
"Come with me, I might be able to use you for this."
Without waiting for Qu Yaoyao to ask more questions, he pulled her straight to where Mo Xuanxiao was.
Mo Xuanxiao was currently in Xingyang Sect. Inside, Qu Yushu had just woken up from a hangover, looking extremely grim. He kept pressing his forehead. He and Mo Xuanxiao stood side by side, their backs to the temple gate, staring somewhere together. He asked wearily, "How much longer will it take?"
Mo Xuanxiao remained silent, his lips tightly pursed, his face looking a little cold, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly.
Bang--
The palace door was pushed open again, and Gu Tianci walked in with Qu Yaoyao, "What's the situation?"
Qu Yaoyao had already learned the general situation from Gu Tianci on the way. She hurried to the few people and saw Qu Jingxian trapped in the golden light barrier, being examined by the disciples of the Medicine King Sect in a daze.
"I've already said that I was locked up in a secret room the entire time. I didn't touch any of the food or water they gave me. I didn't see any monsters or demons during my time there. I was in good health and didn't feel any discomfort at all."
Qu Jingxian tilted her head back, her eyelids swollen, and allowed the tightly wrapped Medicine King Sect disciples to examine her. When she saw Qu Yaoyao coming over, she was still in the mood to greet her, but then she cried out, "Ouch!" "Go slower, it hurts."
After a series of tedious examinations, the Medicine King Sect disciple breathed a sigh of relief and emerged from the golden barrier, saying, "Miss Qu is currently normal, and there are no injuries on her body."
"However..." The Medicine King Sect disciple said in embarrassment: "To be on the safe side, Miss Qu is better off staying in the golden light barrier for now."
Mo Xuanxiao pondered for a moment, "This is the only way for now."
The entire sect is now undergoing examinations. This poison is highly contagious and Qu Jingxian has a close relationship with Qu Yushu and Qu Yaoyao. Mo Xuanxiao cannot afford any risks now.
Although Qu Jingxian was somewhat dissatisfied with this, she also knew that he was concerned about the safety of the entire sect, so she stayed quietly in the golden light barrier and comforted Qu Yaoyao and Qu Yushu, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Didn't they say that the Medicine King Sect is developing a method to break it? I believe there will be a solution soon."
Qu Yaoyao felt very uncomfortable after drinking, and she could not smile at Qu Jingxian's smile.
Only Qu Jingxian from Xingyang Sect went to the demon world. It seemed that there was no problem at the moment. Disciples from other sects were constantly being transformed into puppets. Qu Yaoyao followed Mo Xuanxiao to see them one by one. Finally, the group returned to Yaowang Sect, which had the most casualties among those transformed into puppets.
These puppets were trapped in a golden barrier and kept roaring. Their pupils were dark and dull without whites, and purple-red blood vessels appeared on their pale skin, making them look like dead bodies.
They seemed to feel no pain. Some of them banged their heads against the barrier with blood, while others remained motionless as if they had lost their souls. There were also some with high cultivation and strong wills, whose pupils alternated between dark and normal as they screamed in pain, begging for help: "Save me..."
"Please save me, I'm in so much pain, I feel like something is burning and gnawing at my soul."
Looking at these puppets in front of her, Qu Yaoyao retreated step by step with a pale face, and couldn't help but think of the poison Chao Yuan had fed her when she left.
What did you feed me?
【A medicine that can prevent you from escaping.】
If you leave me for too long, the poison in your body will slowly dissolve, bit by bit gnawing at and burning your soul. If you insist on not returning, your soul will be damaged and shattered, turning you into a fool. Then, I will be the master controlling your body. Even if I ask you to kill all the disciples of the Wanmen Xianzong with my own hands, you will not refuse.
These poisons were all given by Chao Yuan, he also poisoned her...
"Yaoyao."
"Yaoyao?" Mo Xuanxiao called Qu Yaoyao several times but got no response. He watched her retreat into his arms in a daze.
Patting Qu Yaoyao's shoulder gently, he saw her come back to her senses with a start, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you scared?"
Qu Yaoyao opened her mouth, her throat dry. After a while, she finally found her voice: "Let them... check me too."
Mo Xuanxiao was slightly startled when he heard Qu Yaoyao's trembling voice say, "When I came back, Chao Yuan also poisoned me."
“…”
Mo Xuanxiao's intuition told him that even though Xie Qingxun had become Chao Yuan, he wouldn't do anything to harm Qu Yaoyao. But he was a Celestial Lord in the world of immortal cultivation, and many things weren't decided by his own opinion. He held the lives of tens of millions in his hands.
The examination results came out, and it was found that Qu Yaoyao and Qu Jingxian had no abnormal scars on their bodies.
The person who examined her was a female disciple of the Medicine King Sect. When Qu Yaoyao was undressing, it was impossible not to see the marks on her body. Although those marks had become very shallow, they could still be found if you looked carefully. They were spread all over Qu Yaoyao's body. The female disciple thought they were bruises at first, but when she realized what was happening, she looked a little embarrassed, and there was a strange look in her eyes when she looked at Qu Yaoyao.
A hundred years have passed, and the sect does not know what happened to Qu Yaoyao in the demon world, but many people can see how good Mo Xuanxiao is to Qu Yaoyao, and the female disciples naturally think that these marks were made by Mo Xuanxiao.
"I didn't expect that Xuan Yao Tianzun looks serious, but is actually quite..." The female disciple muttered softly and walked out.
As she left to report the situation to Mo Xuanxiao, she noticed something was amiss with Mo Xuanxiao's expression. Mo Xuanxiao's sharp gaze, sensing the female disciple's evasion, unleashed the might of the Heavenly Venerable. He said calmly, "No need to hide anything. Tell me everything you've discovered."
The female disciple was panicked and at a loss. Meeting Mo Xuanxiao's cold gaze, she lowered her head and stammered, "No, nothing. It's really nothing."
"Then why are you panicking?"
The female disciple said stubbornly, "Fairy Yao, Fairy Yao is still a little weak. The Heavenly Venerable needs to be more restrained. She can't..."
In her panic, the female disciple's mind went blank and her words became increasingly disorganized. By the end, she had lost track of what she was saying. Feeling Mo Xuanxiao's gaze growing colder, she sank to her knees, "Lord, spare me! I will keep today's events a secret and will not reveal them to anyone else!"
What on earth is she talking about...
Mo Xuanxiao took a step forward and was about to ask something else when he saw Qu Yaoyao coming out of the room with her clothes pulled up. Their eyes met, and he suddenly realized something. He took a deep breath and said, "Go down."
As the female disciple hurriedly left, she heard Mo Xuanxiao's warning: "If this matter gets known to others, I will not let you off lightly."
The first-class female disciple left, and Mo Xuanxiao approached Qu Yaoyao.
"you……"
Qu Yaoyao's ears turned red. Thinking of Chao Yuan's words, she couldn't help but take a step back, keeping a distance from Mo Xuanxiao, lowering her face slightly and not daring to look at him.
Mo Xuanxiao paused, feeling as if he had swallowed several stones that fell into his heart, blocking out everything he wanted to say. He closed his eyes, rubbed his forehead feebly, and said gently, "You should get some rest first."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Qu Yaoyao really needed to rest. She needed to sort out her feelings and figure out what to do next. She didn't chase after Mo Xuanxiao. She gently closed the door, not noticing that Mo Xuanxiao had stopped walking when the door closed...
In the room, the Qiankun bag on the table was glowing all the time.
Qu Yaoyao walked forward and picked it up, and found that there was an extra mirror in the Qiankun bag that did not belong to her. The mirror inlaid with gems was exquisite and only the size of a palm. Qu Yaoyao picked it up and looked at her face, and saw another handsome and beautiful face in it.
In Fenyuan Palace, Chao Yuan leaned against the throne, gazing at the suspended sound transmission mirror. A slight smile curled his lips as he asked, "How is it going? Is the Wanmen Immortal Sect bustling with activity right now?"
The author has something to say: I don’t know what to say, so just good night.
