Chapter 116 You are not my master, you are my Senior Brother Xuan Ji...
Chapter 116:
Chi Yu thought of something and asked, "Can you put a curse on the people of the Immortal Alliance?"
Wu Yunsu shook his head. "Qingxuan took this into account and wrote it into the contract. I can't go against it."
Chi Yu learned a lot about Qingxuan from Wu Yunsu. His heart sank again. How could this guy be a cold and aloof gentleman? He was clearly a white lotus who would eat people without leaving any bones behind!
What Senior Brother Xuan Ji said was indeed right. No, he actually did not doubt what Senior Brother Xuan Ji said, but he thought too simply about Qing Xuan.
He has grown to such an extent in terms of physique, cultivation, spiritual awareness, knowledge, swordsmanship, etc. under the personal guidance of Senior Brother Xuan Ji, but his mentality is still too immature!
He had always been facing demons and monsters, but had never really faced a human being. He didn't know that in the world of cultivation, human cultivation was the most terrifying thing.
Chi Yu suddenly reached out and slapped himself hard.
Wu Yunsu immediately grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?"
Chi Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I thought too little of Qingxuan. If I had known he was such a person, I would have killed him for sure."
Wu Yunsu said, "Don't blame yourself. Even the people of Luopo Zen Sect were deceived by him."
Chi Yu said calmly, "I won't dwell on useless emotions like self-blame. Now that it's happened, all I can do is remedy it and redeem myself. I will repay Qingxuan a hundredfold for what he did to me, Xiaoqiu, and Senior Brother Xuanji."
Wu Yunsu asked, "What do you want to do?"
Chi Yu said: "I want the Immortal Alliance."
Wu Yunsu said, "I understand what you mean, but it's difficult. The Immortal Alliance is so strong and stable because of the blood and flesh of the Xie family."
Chi Yu was stunned, his heart aching. "You mean, the Immortal Alliance uses the flesh and blood of Senior Brother Xuanji's relatives as wages?"
Although he didn't understand what "salary" meant, Wu Yunsu understood what he meant. "The Immortal Alliance currently has several products. One is Qianshan Brewing's Original Puree, and the other is Jade Marrow. As far as I know, Qianshan Brewing's Original Puree uses the blood and flesh of Xie's disciples. Based on the quality of Xie's disciples' cultivation, the original puree brewed from the blood and flesh of Foundation Establishment cultivators is much less effective, while the original puree brewed from the blood and flesh of Nascent Soul cultivators is much better. Moving up to the Fusion Stage, Mahayana Stage, and even the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it's beyond my reach."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Chi Yu's face flushed with anger again, so he reached out and patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him a little before continuing, "As for chalcedony, the effect of chalcedony is much more stable. No matter what level of cultivation one has, the quality of chalcedony will not differ too much. Even the quality of chalcedony at the Fusion Stage is almost the same as that at the Tribulation Stage. Even the chalcedony at the Qi Refining Stage can rival that of the Golden Core Stage."
"—This chalcedony is naturally their bones, with the highest quality being the root bones, which are the cultivators' spines. However, the Immortal Alliance rarely uses such 'precious' items. Unless one has made great contributions, it is difficult to obtain genuine chalcedony. The chalcedony that most cultivators in the Immortal Alliance can obtain is simply the bones of other parts of the Xie family's descendants. While they do have some effect, the effect is significantly reduced compared to genuine 'chalcedony'."
"How dare they?" Chi Yu trembled with anger. "Immortal sects should set an example for cultivators. How can an established Immortal Alliance rely on sucking the blood of others to grow stronger? Is this a reputable and upright sect? The law of the jungle in the cultivation world can cover up and glorify such behavior? How is that any different from the demons?"
Ling Hezhou, who had remained silent the entire time and hadn't interrupted him from reminiscing about the past with Wu Yunsu, interrupted quietly at this moment and said, "Our Tianyan Sect has not yet joined the Immortal Alliance."
Ling Tian also spoke up, "Actually, there are many disagreements within the Tianyan Sect on this point. The Sect Master is determined not to join the Immortal Alliance, while the other elders and peak masters all want to join. This has led to disagreements, but up to now, the Sect Master has the final say in the Tianyan Sect."
Ling Tian and the others actually had many questions about Chi Yu. After hearing so many secrets, they were grateful for his trust, but at the same time, they felt that he was too defenseless. Their hearts were filled with mixed emotions, and they couldn't help but continue, "Such an important secret, and you just let us hear it?"
Chi Yu said quietly, "Actually, if you think about it, I am your uncle-master."
"ah?"
Chi Yu asked Ling Hezhou, "Is your father's name Ling Zhenbai?"
Ling Hezhou was surprised: "How did you know?"
Chi Yu grinned, "I am a humble person, but I am your sect leader's dear senior brother."
Ling Tian thought about his adventure, and it made sense. Ling Hezhou was stunned for a moment, "...What? You're not that Long Aotian, are you?"
Chi Yu: "Yes, it is me. It seems we are destined not to be friends of equal age. Now, please call me Uncle Master."
Ling Hezhou: "..."
Ling Tian: "...No wonder you trust us so much. However, trusting us so easily is very dangerous."
Chi Yu said seriously, "I admit that I've been wrong a few times, but I believe in Ling Hezhou, and I also believe in you who risked your life to save Ling Hezhou. You are all people I can trust. I can see that your temperament is somewhat incompatible with this world of cultivation. Perhaps it is not understood by ordinary people, but your spirit is shining. This is why I trust you, nephew Ling Tian, please do not underestimate yourself."
Ling Tian: “…”
He was able to change the name so smoothly.
Ling Hezhou called out awkwardly, "Uncle Master."
"Hey, my dear nephew." Chi Yu asked casually, "How has your father been doing these past five hundred years?"
Ling Hezhou said dryly: "My father, my father is very good, but I am his adopted child, I don't know what he was like in the past."
Wu Yunsu said, "I know this."
He looked at Chi Yu and said, "Senior Brother Zhiguan is someone I can trust. Over the years, he and I have worked together to rescue Xuanji's relatives. However, some time ago, he was discovered by cultivators from Wanqiong Continent and was severely injured. He is now in seclusion."
Ling Hezhou was stunned. "My father is actually doing this behind our backs?"
Ling Tian was also shocked.
In fact, in Ling Tian's eyes, the sect leader's temperament was too soft. If he had not done a favor to the previous sect leader, it would have been difficult for him to become the sect leader. Moreover, his cultivation was not very high, so it was difficult for him to convince the others.
The elders of Tianyan Sect and the heads of other peaks were somewhat dissatisfied with him, thinking that he was too pedantic and conservative, and therefore targeted him from time to time, but the sect leader just laughed it off and did not mind.
Although soft, he is also very broad-minded.
Almost all of the disciples of the Sect Master's First Peak were children picked up by the Sect Master from outside, and he was no exception. Ling Hezhou became the Sect Master's son because he foolishly called him "Dad" first, and the Sect Master took advantage of the situation and treated him as his own son, bringing him up to teach him.
With such a father as a role model, Ling Hezhou's character is naturally not very sharp. In fact, as Chi Yu said, there is a simplicity and purity that is incompatible with the world of cultivation.
But Ling Tian didn't expect that such a weak sect leader would secretly confront the cultivators of Wanqiong Continent!
What kind of place is Wanqiongzhou? It is said that even a brick falling from the sky can hit a young genius cultivator!
Even the natural treasures in Wanqiong Continent are more than those in other continents. The top-grade spirit stones that are extremely rare here can be counted in the billions in Wanqiong Continent.
What a huge difference in power! Even though he had never been there, Ling Tian could feel the sacredness and inviolability of Wanqiong Continent.
Ling Tian was shocked and stunned, and Ling Hezhou was naturally also shocked. He asked in disbelief, "Isn't he afraid?"
Wu Yunsu said, "Of course he's afraid, but there are some things you have to do even if you're afraid." He looked at Chi Yu and said, "Perhaps you don't take Brother Zhiguan too seriously, but he likes you very much and wants to do something for you."
Chi Yu was slightly stunned and said, "I didn't do anything for him, but he is willing to do this for me?"
Wu Yunsu said, "Perhaps it is precisely because of your attitude that he is moved."
In the impetuous world of cultivation, one always wants to get something in return for one's efforts, even blood relatives are no exception.
Everything the young monk did for the people around him came from his heart, without any consideration of profit, which is why it was so touching.
Ling Hezhou suddenly said quietly, "Senior Wu, since you knew my father, why were you so rude to us back then?"
Wu Yunsu said calmly, "I didn't kill you. I was just being rude. What's wrong with that?"
Ling Hezhou was suddenly speechless.
The topic had already gone off topic, and seeing that it was already late, Chi Yu said, "Let's stop here for today. There's too much information, and I need to digest it."
Wu Yunsu could tell they were trying to get rid of him. He felt a little reluctant, but still said politely, "In that case, I'll take my leave first. Dad, you should have a good rest."
After saying that, he took one last look at Chi Yu, released the restriction, and transformed into a tiny colorful centipede and crawled out.
Chi Yu: "..."
If you turn into a centipede, are you really not afraid of being stepped on to death by others?
After Wu Yunsu left, Chi Yu walked to the window, opened it, looked at the bright moonlight outside, and whispered softly, "Senior Brother Xuanji."
Senior Brother Xuan Ji, what should he do now?
Originally, they wanted to seize the Immortal Alliance, but the Immortal Alliance seemed to have become a den of filth. Perhaps they didn't know what the raw pulp and chalcedony they received every month were made of. But once they used such things, it was like gambling. The threshold had been changed and it was difficult to restore it.
It is not a bad idea to split the Immortal Alliance instead of seizing it, but Qingxuan and the others hold the lifeblood of these cultivators - the cultivation resources.
His chances of success are extremely low.
Chi Yu changed out of the Immortal Alliance monks' uniform and put on the Roper Zen Sect's blue robe.
He placed the jade token issued by the Immortal Alliance on the table and left quietly.
"Where are you going now?" Ling Hezhou asked.
Chi Yu said, "I'm going to find Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
Ling Hezhou fell silent, and Ling Tian spoke on his behalf, "Your Senior Brother Xuan Ji is in too much danger. Uncle Chi... I don't think you should take the risk."
Chi Yu said: "I know, but that is my Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
He said with a firm gaze, "Even if there are many dangers and many hardships, I will go to his side. This is my promise. Senior Brother Xuanji said that words spoken lightly are not to be trusted. Once I say it, I must keep it."
"Even if I die?"
"Even if I die."
Ling Tian fell silent and stopped talking.
At this moment, Chi Yu suddenly felt something. He opened the system panel and saw the light spot belonging to Xie Xiyi, which completely coincided with his position.
Chi Yu: "..."
when?
When did you come?
Chi Yu looked around but did not see Xie Xiyi.
He was a little puzzled, but didn't seem surprised.
A streak of light flew towards him, and Chi Yu subconsciously drew his sword to defend himself, but when his eyes locked onto the streak of light, he noticed something strange.
"Phantom lightning?" he called out softly.
The stream of light flew in front of him and stopped just in front of him, causing the hilt of the sword to stick up high.
Chi Yu put away the sword and reached out to it. Huandian immediately turned around and rubbed his hand affectionately with the hilt of the sword. The hilt still had a bone-chilling cold touch, having lost the warmth and delicacy of jade bones. It was obvious that it had just been let go.
Chi Yu glanced at the system panel and found that Xie Xiyi's light had already left.
Chi Yu: "..."
No, is it because you don’t dare to see him?
Not really. Chi Yu didn’t think that Senior Brother Xuan Ji would have such emotions now.
Since Xie Xiyi didn't want to confront him head-on, Chi Yu temporarily gave up the idea of looking for him.
He had a premonition that Xie Xiyi would eventually find him.

"Senior Brother." Qingxuan sat upright and spoke indifferently.
Taixuzi sat down opposite him with a pale face.
Qing Xuan looked at his face and said, "Brother, if we really can't handle it, we can only ask Wanqiongzhou to help."
Taixuzi opened his lips slightly, a look of struggle appearing on his face. "No, this is a great achievement, how can I give it away so easily?"
Qingxuan lowered his eyes and said, "Do you still remember what Xie Xiyi said five hundred years ago?"
Taixuzi: "What?"
"It seems you've forgotten." Qing Xuan said, "He will come to take our lives in five hundred years. Although he has lost his memory, I can't sleep day or night because of this curse."
Taixuzi didn't say anything, so Qingxuan continued, "He's still at the Jindan stage, but he's able to surpass his level and kill so many Yuanying cultivators. Why do you think that is?"
Taixuzi hesitated and said, "It's a forbidden spell."
Qingxuan said: "Yes, it is a forbidden spell. This is no longer something we can interfere with. Only Wanqiongzhou can check and balance him."
Taixuzi: "But after surrendering, will there be any share left for us in Xuanji's flesh and blood?"
Qingxuan said: "In the face of life, interests are irrelevant. Brother, you fail to distinguish the primary from the secondary. These five hundred years are already the time we stole -"
Taixuzi interrupted him and said, "That's you, not me."
There was nothing unusual on Qingxuan's face. These five hundred years had made his temperament even more outstanding. No matter what kind of body he changed into, he would infect and transform the body from the inside out, and eventually change it into his own appearance.
The pain still exists in his body and soul, but these five hundred years of enduring pain have made his mind extremely tough and more indifferent.
He had considered taking over the bodies of Xuanji's relatives, but the resonance of the Xie clan's bloodline was truly terrifying. He was certain that if he truly took over the bodies of Xie clan members, he would be instantly assimilated into the Xie clan, and would wholeheartedly support and protect the Xie clan, and he would no longer be himself.
Therefore, he can only keep changing his body. Under such circumstances, he can still have the cultivation level second only to Taixuzi, which is inseparable from his tenacious will.
Taixuzi's words had no effect on him. He rarely criticized Taixuzi's stupidity and stubbornness in his heart. He just accepted everything calmly.
"Brother, I've said before, we all rise and fall together. If I die, you can't live alone." Qing Xuan gave him a simple "point of advice" before continuing, "The only thing we need to do now is to kill Xuan Ji... kill Xie Xiyi. Don't even think about capturing him alive. I can't keep my chalcedony alive. I can't rest easy until he dies."
Taixuzi remained silent.
The defeat at the hands of Xie Xiyi seemed to have made him extremely frustrated, so much so that after returning from the Immortal Alliance, his expression had been so bleak.
Qingxuan couldn't help but think that he had pushed him to such a position in the past five hundred years and had taken care of everything for him. This senior brother had not suffered any setbacks or hardships and had been arrogant for hundreds of years. When he met Xie Xiyi again, he was still severely defeated like he was in Luopo Zen Sect. It was indeed frustrating.
But he lacked the courage to rebound.
Qingxuan said: "Senior Brother..."
Before he could finish his words, Taixuzi interrupted him. His flamboyant and handsome face now revealed a hint of irritation and evasion. "In that case, Junior Brother, go contact Wanqiongzhou."
Qingxuan said: "Okay, Senior Brother, go back to your cave and rest for the next few days. I will take care of this matter."
Taixuzi waved his sleeves and left Qingxuan's cave.
When he returned to his own cave, Taixuzi started to speak, "Wanqiongzhou? Are the cultivators of Wanqiongzhou very powerful?"
Taixuzi asked himself and answered, "There are countless geniuses in Wanqiongzhou. The Nascent Soul stage is just a stepping stone to the immortal gate. Mahayana cultivators are everywhere."
"Oh~" Taixuzi's voice was so rough and tough, but at this moment, his tone clearly revealed a hint of frivolous joy. "Very impressive! I happen to really like geniuses. Destroying beautiful, intelligent, and outstanding things always makes my heart surge and it is extremely joyful."
Taixuzi was sweating all over, his eyes darting wildly, but he couldn't get rid of it at all, "It's useless, useless, useless. -
It's useless, Taixuzi, I said, even if there is only a trace of Yuanpo attached, I can still find your true body."
"But you can rest assured, I won't kill you for now." He spoke in a thin voice, forcing Taixuzi's voice to sound clear and moist. "Do you know how to fish? You probably don't know, but if you want to catch big, fat fish, you always need to use delicious bait. You're really useful. Call more people over. Your role is limited to this."
Taixuzi opened his mouth wide, but couldn't say anything.
Five hundred years later, it was his turn to face the horror of Xuan Ji, and he was unable to escape it, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
*
A few days later, Chi Yu met Xie Xiyi again.
He was still dressed in black, but it seemed as if he had changed into new clothes. The texture of the fabric had some dark golden auspicious clouds and fairy grass patterns, and his mask had also been changed - there were golden horns on both sides with long red tassels on the left and right sides, black pupils in the eyes, and a short snout, like a fox, a dog, or some other monster.
Compared with the previous ghost mask, this mask does not look as ferocious, and even looks a little delicate and pretty.
"Sword slave," Xie Xiyi spoke in a pleasant voice, "I'm here to get my sword."
Chi Yu: "..."
He glanced up and down at Xie Xiyi's outfit and couldn't help asking, "Have you changed your clothes?"
Xie Xiyi did not answer, but stretched out his hand, and the phantom electricity in Chi Yu's arms was sucked towards him by an invisible force.
The phantom lightning hummed, expressing dissatisfaction, but Xie Xiyi did not indulge him, and the phantom lightning still fell into his hands.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji." Chi Yu called out.
Xie Xiyi said in a cheerful voice without any strangeness: "As a sword slave, you should act like a sword slave. You should call me master. If you call me that wrong again, I will kill you."
As he spoke later, his tone became more sinister and murderous.
Chi Yu looked at him intently, "But, you are not the master, you are my Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
The brows behind the mask raised slightly, he raised his hand, and pointed the spine sword at Chi Yu, "You want to die, I will grant you your wish."
The phantom electricity was still buzzing and vibrating, and even the tip of the sword was tilted and tilted, expressing his determination to rebel.
Chi Yu reached out and grasped the blade of Huandian, taking a few steps forward. Just as his chest was about to collide with the sword's tip, Xie Xiyi suddenly pulled away from the sword and said in a very pleasant voice, "I'll spare your life this time. If there's a next time, I'll make sure you die miserably."
Chi Yu, however, shouted fearlessly, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
