Chapter 155 I don’t believe that I only have a brotherly relationship with Senior Brother Xuanji…
Chapter 155:
Lian Chi returned to Wanqiongzhou.
His soul was still weak. Although it was in harmony with his body, it had not been used for five hundred years and was still somewhat unfamiliar.
He returned to the Mo family's land.
When the Mo family members saw him, they all respectfully called him "Uncle".
Lian Chi ignored him and went straight to the cave of the Mo family's patriarch.
The Mo family is rich now, and their clan land was moved to a place with abundant spiritual energy three hundred years ago. There is even a small spiritual vein underneath.
Such a change is naturally due to the family behind Xuan Ji.
His father was a talented son of the Mo family, and his mother was a female cultivator from another aristocratic family, so they were considered a good match.
When he was in his teens, his parents were killed because they entered a secret realm to compete for cultivation resources and were defeated by others. Because Lianchi had good spiritual roots and his parents' support, he was also taken care of by his family on a daily basis, so he did not suffer much on the path of cultivation.
However, he knew very well that if his spiritual roots and talent were mediocre, he would not only lose the cultivation resources left by his parents, but would also become an abandoned child, and his ending would definitely be miserable.
Because this is the world of cultivation, except for the love that parents have for their children, relatives will not be soft-hearted towards him just because of their kinship.
In the world of cultivation, talent and cultivation resources are everything.
So Lianchi was not surprised when Fuze took over his body and was forgiven by his uncles and elders, because this is the world of cultivation.
Cultivation resources are everything.
Lian Chi received the most kindness and happiness in Zizaizhou. Looking back now, it was a truly wonderful time.
He liked Junior Brother Long very much, and he thought that there should be no one in Dao Di Zen House who didn't like Junior Brother Long.
The world of cultivation has always been cruel. Even brothers may betray each other for a piece of spirit stone, let alone fellow disciples.
But Junior Brother Long has a pure heart and is always consistent inside and out. No matter who is with him, they will feel relaxed and happy.
Lian Chi felt embarrassed. It was his family that had done such a bad thing, and he couldn't face Junior Brother Long and Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
Lian Chi had killed people for cultivation resources before. This was always the case in the world of cultivation. It was natural for a family to provide resources and fight for fame and fortune for the family.
If the family's resources were insufficient, he had to fight for them himself. Over the past hundred years, he had entered many secret realms and killed many cultivators. Naturally, there had been a lot of intrigue and intrigue. Strictly speaking, he was not a pushover.
In terms of his own interests, he is no different from most monks.
What he couldn't tolerate was that he promised to take care of Junior Brother Long, but not only did he fail to do so, he also became a tool to pry open Senior Brother Xuan Ji's family.
It was not his intention to be possessed by another body, but the evil cultivator actually used his body to do such evil things.
No matter how bad Lian Chi is, he is only fighting for resources that are enough for himself and will not intentionally harm others.
He would not imprison a family and drain their blood just for the sake of cultivation.
A cultivator should have the integrity of a cultivator and set an example of righteousness. If one uses the flesh and blood of others to improve their cultivation, how is that different from cultivating demons?
There is no need to kill all the demon cultivators. In essence, they are no different from the demon cultivators. Why should we distinguish between good and evil, black and white?
Lian Chi couldn't imagine how his family could do such a thing.
Perhaps this was also the first time he truly recognized these so-called immortal cultivation families.
They claim to be on the right path only because there is not enough profit to motivate them. If they are given more, they will naturally do more than the evil cultivators.
Lian Chi knew that many immortal sects in Wanqiong Continent had exchanges of interests with the Mo family, and he thought it was ridiculous.
Is this the immortal gate he once longed for?
What a righteous way of immortality.
Lian Chi does not have the ability to change these immortal sects, but he can probably change the Mo family.

"No," Chi Yu waited for Senior Brother Lian Chi to leave for a long time before he figured out why Senior Brother Lian Chi still wanted to use his body. "Senior Brother Lian Chi, are you trying to clean up your family?"
Xie Xiyi was nonchalant and didn't care at all, "No way."
"It's really possible." Chi Yu said, "But his current cultivation level is only at the Mahayana stage, and his Yuan Po cultivation level is still at the Golden Core stage. How could he dare to do that?"
Chi Yu's face inevitably revealed a look of worry and nervousness, and even his spiritual power began to overflow. He practiced his skills, trying to catch up.
Xie Xiyi grabbed his collar and interrupted his spellcasting, "What do you want to do?"
Chi Yu blinked and said without hesitation, "I have to go see Senior Brother Lianchi."
Xie Xiyi was not an unreasonable person. He knew that even friends had the right to worry and be nervous. People are not heartless like plants or trees. Although he knew it rationally, he could not control his emotions.
After merging into the devil's heart, he no longer had the slightest tolerance for others.
He didn't allow Chi Yu to show this expression to others.
It would be best if Chi Yu could control all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
But Xie Xiyi also knew that such little thoughts were too despicable and should not be revealed in public.
So he lowered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "No need. The forbidden spell I gave him is enough to protect him."
Chi Yu was stunned for a moment, "Brother Xuanji, you already knew this?"
Xie Xiyi chuckled, "Is this difficult?"
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry and tension on his face instantly disappeared. "It would be best if you, Brother Xuanji, intervened."
Xie Xiyi looked at his smiling face, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart - this was exactly what he wanted, because with just one word from him, his expression changed easily.
Joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are all caused by him.
Xie Xiyi had no previous feelings for Lianchi, even though they were both disciples of the Luopo Zen sect in Zizaizhou. But when he had a thought, he did help Lianchi.
When Lian Chi took the initiative to kill Mo Jiajia and was about to make a desperate bet, several forbidden spells flew out of his body and instantly strangled the Tribulation Crossing cultivator in front of him.
Even after the flesh and body were shattered, the spirit was still there. The head of the Mo family was furious and shouted, "Fuze! Are you crazy?"
Lian Chi was also surprised, but soon he realized that it was Senior Brother Xuan Ji who was helping him—
Senior Brother Xuan Ji is so thoughtful and considerate.
Lian Chi felt ashamed, but he showed no sign of it. He sneered, "Uncle, I'm not Fuze, I'm Mo Songyun."
The head of the Mo family was stunned for a moment, then reacted and wanted to kill Mo Songyun immediately. Even if only his Yuanpo was left, the difference in strength was enough for him to kill Lian Chi, who was only in the Mahayana stage.
But just as he was about to take action, the forbidden spell that strangled his body became like a whirlpool, absorbing his soul. Such a powerful being died instantly without even leaving a last word.
Using forbidden spells comes at a price, but the soul energy left behind by killing a cultivator is enough to pay for it, and it is also hard to guard against when killing.
Lianchi walked out of the master's cave with a grim expression.
He wanted to give an explanation to Senior Brother Xuan Ji and Junior Brother Long.
Seventy percent of the Mo family's children were taken away, and the remaining thirty percent stayed in the clan territory. Within twelve hours, they were all slaughtered by Lian Chi.
When this news spread to many immortal sects including the Wanjian Sect, everyone fell silent.
The Mo family is powerful and has connections with other families. Even though they have caused such a mess, no one has thought of exterminating the family.
After all, they are all the power of Wanqiongzhou. Weakening the aristocratic families is like cutting off one's own arm. No smart person would do such a thing.
As a result, so many people died in the Mo family, even the head of the family was killed, and the person who did this evil thing was Mo Songyun.
In the end, it was the head of the Wanjian Sect who made the decision: "Arrest Mo Songyun and use his blood as a sacrifice for the Mo family."
Only in this way can we appease the other members of the Mo family who are going to fight.
*
Lian Chi was being hunted. He was from the Mo family, so it was very easy for the Immortal Sect to find his whereabouts. They could use the blood of the Mo family members to find out where he was.
There is no way to heaven and no door to earth.
But Lianchi didn't feel nervous at all.
Killing members of his own family had no impact on him, as he felt it was just cleaning up the family.
He also scoffed at the formation that the immortals set up to hunt him down.
However, it seemed that the forbidden spell given to him by Senior Brother Xuan Ji had been used up.
It was also because of this that Lian Chi was defeated by Xianmen and was beaten to death.
"Cut off his head and throw his soul into the Purgatory Pool to be tortured. This punishment should be sufficient."
"That's not right," the person said, pulling Lian Chi's hair to investigate. "His Yuan Po doesn't match his physical body's cultivation level. He's only at the Golden Core stage. If we kill him, his Yuan Po will naturally dissipate quickly."
"What? Could it be a possession?"
"No, it's me."
After a moment of silence, no one wanted to pursue the matter further. "Then just kill him. His Yuan Soul will naturally dissipate. If we send him to the Purgatory Pool to be punished, we'll have to spend more time to nurture his Yuan Soul."
The disciple of the Immortal Sect placed the sword on Lianchi's neck and was about to cut off his head when a ray of sword light came and blocked the disciple's action.
"Senior Brother Xuan Ji!" A clear voice sounded, and Lian Chi disappeared in full view of everyone, captured in the hands of a tall cultivator.
"It's the ghost-faced monk!" The disciples of the Immortal Sect were all shocked. They had been frightened by Xie Xiyi, and their morale was mostly gone just by seeing him.
No one wanted to fight with Xie Xiyi, and most of them turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Xie Xiyi surprisingly did not take any action, but watched them escape.
The remaining disciples of the immortal sect were proud and raised their swords to fight, but their spiritual power was blocked by fear. Under the terrifying oppression of Xie Xiyi, they could not hold on for a few breaths before they also fled.
Xie Xiyi didn't even chase her.
Chi Yu finally rushed to his side and helped Lian Chi down from Xie Xiyi's arms. "Brother Lian Chi, you should feel better after taking this pill."
Lian Chi ate the pill Chi Yu fed him, but he still looked listless.
Chi Yu asked, "Brother Lian Chi, what's wrong?"
Lian Chi then opened his eyes and asked, "Junior Brother Long, why are you here?"
Chi Yu laughed and said, "Because I knew what Senior Brother Lian Chi wanted to do and couldn't ignore it, I followed him. Fortunately, we came, otherwise Senior Brother Lian Chi, you would be dead."
Lian Chi sighed, "Junior Brother Long, you saved me twice."
Chi Yu: “Twice?”
Lian Chi said, "Five hundred years ago, if it weren't for you, I would have been trapped and died in that secret realm."
Chi Yu remembered, "Oh, that, Brother Lianchi, don't mind it. We are brothers. It's normal for you to save me and I to save you. Why bother to keep it in mind?"
Lian Chi said: "I never saved you."
Chi Yu smiled, his golden eyes shining like the sun. "Brother Lian Chi, you just need to be fine. There's no need to think so much. And Brother Xuan Ji also saved you just now."
Lianchi looked at Xie Xiyi and thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanji."
Xie Xiyi's reaction was very indifferent, "It was Chi Yu who wanted to save you."
Xuan Ji was only gentle towards Junior Brother Long. Lian Chi had known about this for a long time, so she didn't mind his cold tone.
There was one thing that actually puzzled Lian Chi. "Senior Brother Xuanji, since you have such power, why don't you exterminate the Mo family?"
Lian Chi felt that Xuan Ji must be aware of who was responsible for his family's imprisonment, but Xuan Ji did not take any action.
Xie Xiyi suddenly laughed, "Killing them is a matter of a moment, but that would be too satisfying. Don't you think it would be more interesting to keep them alive and let them worry and fear all the time?"
Before Lian Chi could say anything, Chi Yu spoke up, "Alright, Senior Brother Xuan Ji, if you hadn't thought this way five hundred years ago, Qing Xuan and Tai Xu Zi wouldn't have lived another five hundred years."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
Xie Xiyi's tone turned colder, "Are you questioning me about Lianchi?"
Chi Yu said, "It's not about Senior Brother Lianchi. I just want to say that you are too playful."
Xie Xiyi said, "It's not that I'm too playful, Chi Yu. Qingxuan hurt you, so naturally I wanted him to suffer endless pain. This is my revenge. Now that I think about it, Qingxuan's death was too easy."
Chi Yu muttered, "So you're blaming me now?"
Xie Xiyi said: "How could I blame you? I don't even have time to love you."
His voice was pleasant, but when he spoke in a low voice, there was always a wet and sticky feeling, as if someone was licking his ear, which made people shudder all over.
Chi Yu: "..."
here we go again!
Chi Yu's face turned red, and she subconsciously looked at Lian Chi. Lian Chi turned her head away, sat cross-legged in meditation, pretending not to hear her words.
Chi Yu lowered his voice and said, "Senior Brother Xuanji, could you please stop saying these things?"
Xie Xiyi said: "No."
Chi Yu couldn't do anything to him.
Keep avoiding it, that's not a solution.
However, when responding, loopholes and errors are likely to occur.
Therefore, Chi Yu could only endure the humiliation.
Just when he was about to change the subject, the sky shook, and a huge crack opened up in the air, from which a large number of demons flew out.
Demonic energy surged, and a bloody smell seeped out, dyeing the clouds red.
"Oh no, the seal of the demon world is about to be broken." Chi Yu looked solemn.
Xie Xiyi looked at his expression and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"
Chi Yu was stunned and said, "Once the seal of the demon world is broken, not only the cultivators, but also mortals will be destroyed."
Xie Xiyi asked, "Want to be the savior?"
It seemed that if Chi Yu wanted to do something, Xie Xiyi would really let him do it.
Chi Yu stroked her waist-length hair and responded, "I'm not trying to be a savior. The strong don't need saving. I pity the weak."
He said seriously, "Heaven's laws are wrong, but the living beings under Heaven's laws are innocent. Mortals are like ants, but whether ants or mayflies, they all have the right to survive. I am just a human being, and I have empathy for my fellow human beings, for the weak."
He paused and continued, "I named myself Long Aotian, mostly as a joke. I don't really want power or fame. Similarly, I don't want to be a savior. I don't need such a false reputation. I just do what I want to do, that's all."
He is not Long Aotian, nor does he need followers. Similarly, he is not a savior, and he will not force himself to do the things of a savior. He just wants to follow his heart and care for and help mortals and the weak. That's all.
That's why he pays attention to things like the seal of the demon world.
Xie Xiyi sighed, "Chi Yu, you really have the demeanor of a Buddhist disciple. With you here, how can I destroy this Heavenly Dao?"
Chi Yu was stunned. "You want to destroy the Heavenly Dao?"
Xie Xiyi chuckled in a low voice, his voice sounding sinister. "I carry the heart of a demon from my past life. This world has come back again and again, and the outcome between me and Heaven's Dao remains undecided. Heaven can play the trick of reversing time once, twice, but how can it play it a third time, a fourth time? It will eventually lose."
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu was speechless.
Chi Yu didn't want to comment on Senior Brother Xuan Ji's ideas.
Heaven's actions have indeed gone too far. Senior Brother Xuanji is the victim, and it's understandable that victims have grievances and want revenge. Outsiders who haven't experienced this kind of suffering should refrain from expressing insincere opinions.
But Chi Yu selfishly said, "But if this happens, if there's even a slight mistake, we'll be reset all over again. Brother Xuanji, I won't recognize you anymore."
Xie Xiyi was silent for a long while before he chuckled and said, "So, Chi Yu, you succeeded. You successfully converted a demon who could destroy the Heavenly Dao."
Chi Yu replied, "No, Senior Brother Xuanji, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me. Change your thinking. If you can't destroy the Way of Heaven, you can change the Way of Heaven."
As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds appeared in an instant, and huge purple lightning passed through the clouds, crackling and full of deterrence.
But there was no reason, so the lightning did not strike down and soon dispersed.
Chi Yu couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that the heaven has been spying on us all along."
Xie Xiyi clenched his fingers into fists and almost couldn't control himself, holding Chi Yu's neck.
"?" Chi Yu raised his head and looked at Xie Xiyi, his eyes as clear as water.
Xie Xiyi bent down, pressed his masked face against his smooth, white forehead, and whispered, "Chi Yu, please like me soon. I hope we are in love with each other. I can't help myself anymore."
Chi Yu got goosebumps. "...What can't I help?"
Xie Xiyi was silent for a moment. "If you don't like me soon, I might go crazy and lock you up until we fall in love with each other."
As he finished speaking, Xie Xiyi laughed again, his laughter filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy.
Chi Yu: "...Is it possible that the only path I can take in this life is for Senior Brother Xuan Ji and I to fall in love with each other?"
Xie Xiyi: "Yeah."
Chi Yu was silent, because the heart in Xie Xiyi's chest was his, with a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary. He could feel some of Xie Xiyi's subtle moods and emotions. He said these words seriously, and his whole body seemed to be pulled by him.
Senior Brother Xuan Ji admired him, Chi Yu thought, and Senior Brother Xuan Ji loved him very much, so much so that even someone as powerful as him began to worry about gains and losses, and felt pain, loss and distortion.
Chi Yu felt distressed. In his eyes, Senior Brother Xuan Ji had always been strong, self-controlled and calm, but he began to become distorted because of his love for him.
This strong love made Chi Yu desire it, but also scared him.
Chi Yu thought that perhaps he was inherently lacking in love. His parents had been absent since he was young, and his friends came and went. Senior Brother Xuan Ji's unwavering and passionate love was what he longed for.
But he was also afraid.
Chi Yu was still young and had never experienced love, but he was very insightful. He deeply understood that when water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes; everything waxes and wanes. If love is too strong, it will slowly disappear over time. This is the law of nature. According to Buddhism, all phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. Like dew and lightning, they should be viewed in this way. [1]
The same is true for love.
He was afraid that Senior Brother Xuan Ji's love would be perfect at the beginning, but would naturally fade away in the end. He was afraid that he would be like a moth to a flame, afraid that his love would not be equal to Senior Brother Xuan Ji's love, and that he would end up hurting Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
Maybe Chi Yu himself didn't expect that he would have so many concerns when he fell in love with someone for the first time.
So much that it doesn't seem like something he should have at his age.
He is a teenager, Chi Yu thought. Including the time he spent in "Shentu", he is almost 20 years old. He is still a teenager and should have the courage and enthusiasm to move forward. Why is he so hesitant and worried at this point?
On second thought, he felt that it was understandable. After all, he was very clear-headed, and his feelings for Senior Brother Xuan Ji were no joke.
It is because he really likes Senior Brother Xuan Ji that he knows what is more important.
Chi Yu can be passionate and unwavering in many things, but he can be different when it comes to love.
Therefore, although he felt heartbroken, Chi Yu still gritted his teeth and did not reveal his feelings.
He even said against his will: "But, Senior Brother Xuanji, I don't like you. I only have feelings for you as a fellow disciple."
Kinship and friendship exist in a constant state, a stable state maintained by memory and familiarity. Just as parents are always parents, even if we're not familiar with each other, we can still call each other casually. Friends are also always friends. Even if the most intense period has passed, the aftertaste remains. When we reconnect, we can rekindle the conversation based on our past familiarity.
But love is unstable. It grows and naturally falls. It is unrealistic to maintain a state of love forever.
Chi Yu had never experienced love, so he could only understand it based on his own understanding. Of course, he knew in his heart that these were all just to find a reason for himself to give up his mutual love with Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
Chi Yu had a good idea, but he didn't know that his words would cause a huge uproar.
Xie Xiyi had never tried to find out Chi Yu's state of mind because he was afraid of seeing Chi Yu's true thoughts about him, but now, Chi Yu said it himself.
Xie Xiyi fell into a long silence. Soon, his shoulders began to tremble and a low, terrifying laugh escaped from his throat.
The laughter grew louder and louder, waking Lianchi from his meditation, "Xuan Ji..."
Before he could finish his words, the black mist all over Xie Xiyi's body trembled violently, and countless runes broke out of the black mist and spun in the air, forming an oppressive black vortex. The surroundings instantly became cold, the circulation of spiritual energy was blocked, and it became difficult to breathe.
"Brother Xuanji, you—" Chi Yu finally realized that he had said something terrible. He tried to make amends, but Xie Xiyi interrupted him: "I don't believe it."
"ah?"
Xie Xiyi said, "I don't believe you only have feelings for me as a fellow apprentice."
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu was speechless.
Well, it seems there is no need to make amends, Senior Brother Xuan Ji has already comforted himself.
