Qin Wan paused for a moment, and under Ji Jue's persistent gaze, she used a secret technique to create an illusion of what she saw, allowing Ji Jue to witness it as if it were her own…
"I see……"
"turn out to be……"
When the illusion ended, Ji Jue stared blankly at Qin Wan in front of her, as well as Ling Mubai and "Nangong Rou" not far away.
"Hahaha……"
Ji Jue laughed uncontrollably, her tall body trembling slightly.
So, it turns out, the entire Ji family was wiped out because of him.
Ji Jue instinctively backed away, trying to escape Qin Wan before him, trying to escape this truth...
Seeing the faint demonic aura gradually swirling around him, Qin Wan frowned slightly and quickly led him away from Ling Mubai's sea of consciousness.
However, before she could expel the demonic energy from his body, Ji Jue suddenly raised his hand and brushed her hand away.
Qin Wan was taken aback, "A-Jue..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Jue suddenly broke free of the illusion and disappeared before her eyes.
Qin Wan: "..." His talent for cultivation is truly remarkable.
Within half an hour of the manual being handed to him, he already knew how to break through the illusion before him.
Looking in the direction Ji Jue had left, Qin Wan remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not chase after him.
She flipped back to the location of the Death Gate and struck away "Nangong Rou" who was trying to throw herself into Ling Mubai's arms.
"Why is it you?"
Upon seeing Qin Wan's appearance, "Nangong Rou's" pupils contracted, her face filled with disbelief.
She was clearly controlled by the illusion, which was personally set up by the Demon Clan Protector. Even if Qin Wan was a Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be impossible for her to break out of the illusion so quickly.
Qin Wan glanced at her indifferently and uttered cold, ruthless words, "You are no longer of any use to me."
After speaking, Qin Wan struck Nangong Rou's dantian with a palm strike.
"ah!!!"
Having finally stabilized her mind by absorbing the yang energy from her dual cultivation with Jiang Shuyu, Qin Wan's casual palm strike caused her soul to tremble and sway precariously, almost causing her to lose control of her body.
"Qin Wan!!!"
"Nangong Rou" stared at Qin Wan with a sinister expression.
She was a high-ranking princess of the demon race. Who in the demon race would not treat her with utmost respect?
Even the high and mighty demon guardians would feel extremely honored to cultivate with her.
Qin Wan is just a minor Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world, yet she dares to play tricks on her and bully her like this!
She will definitely not let her go!
Thinking of this, Nangong Rou looked at Ling Mubai with red eyes and tears welling up in them.
"Master, why did Master treat me like this?"
"Is Master being controlled by a demon?"
"And what about Junior Brother? Wasn't he always with Master? Why is he nowhere to be found now?"
"Has something happened between Master and Junior Brother?"
Nangong Rou's words and hints kept provoking and guiding Ling Mubai's thoughts, causing his already agitated emotions to surge again, and jealousy overwhelmed him.
What exactly happened between my junior sister and Ji Jue?
Ji Jue is the one destined to marry his junior sister.
It turns out that all these years, he's been the one usurping the position.
No wonder, despite spending so many years together and silently accompanying him, his junior sister remained indifferent to him.
On the contrary, Ji Jue, who had just become his junior sister's disciple, had his junior sister give up her seclusion and wholeheartedly teach him cultivation.
Xiao Hanjiang, Shu Yu, and Nangong Rou, the three siblings, had been apprenticed to their junior sister for so long, yet they had never received any special treatment from her.
Why is it that Ji Jue was able to surpass the latter?
On the banks of the River of Oblivion...
On the Stone of Three Lives...
It turns out that the name engraved with his junior sister's name was "Ji Jue," not his "Ling Mubai."
Sensing that Ling Mubai's inner demons had reappeared, "Nangong Rou"'s eyes flashed with a dark light, her lips curled up almost imperceptibly, and her fingertips, which were hanging by her side, twitched.
A beam of red light swiftly entered Ling Mubai's brow...
Qin Wan saw it, but did not stop it; this was an inevitable tribulation for Ling Mubai.
Thinking of this, Qin Wan looked at Nangong Rou, who had a faint look of smugness on her face.
"Master, why are you looking at your disciple like that?"
"Master, did I do something wrong?"
"Master, it hurts so much when you hit me..."
While Nangong Rou was putting on her affected performance, she didn't forget to secretly wake Jiang Shuyu up.
If Ling Mubai could detect that something was wrong with her, then Qin Wan, whose cultivation level was much higher than Ling Mubai's, was even more likely to notice.
Qin Wan will not show any mercy when she attacks her.
But what if Jiang Shuyu were here...?
After all, he was her personally taught disciple, and she had neglected him for many years, so he felt guilty.
If Jiang Shuyu insists on protecting her, even at the cost of his life, would Qin Wan disregard Jiang Shuyu's life?
Thinking of this, Nangong Rou's lips curled up, her eyes filled with undisguised smugness and arrogance.
Seeing her little actions, Qin Wan scoffed lightly and glanced at Jiang Shuyu, who was slowly regaining consciousness, out of the corner of her eye.
"What? You think he can stop me?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.
Nangong Rou blinked and said with a pure and innocent look, "Disciple does not understand the deeper meaning of Master's words."
"You deliberately woke him up, just because you're afraid I'll take action against you?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping indifferently over Jiang Shuyu, who was looking at them with a serious expression.
"Second Brother, you're finally awake!"
"Second Senior Brother, are you alright?"
"Second Senior Brother, Master and I were so worried about you."
"Waaaaah, Second Senior Brother, Rou'er misses you so much..."
As she spoke, "Nangong Rou" took advantage of Qin Wan's inattention and threw herself into Jiang Shuyu's arms, tightly wrapping her arms around his strong waist.
Jiang Shuyu instinctively pulled her into his arms, his complicated eyes meeting Qin Wan's gaze. He pursed his thin lips, his expression grave.
"Master, Rou'er is innocent. Please, Master, spare her life."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan raised an eyebrow in surprise, and her gaze towards Jiang Shuyu subtly changed.
"innocent?"
"Let her go?"
"Jiang Shuyu, are you really sure that the person in your arms is someone you've known for many years and who you cherish deeply?"
Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Jiang Shuyu's tall frame visibly stiffened.
Even if he's stupid and unwilling to believe it, some minor details can't be hidden.
He and his junior sister met when they were young, and they both became Qin Wan's disciples, cultivating and breaking through to higher levels together.
Nangong Rou was spoiled, but she grew up under his and his senior brother's watchful eyes.
My junior sister has never experienced anything between a man and a woman...
But the events that happened before he fell into a coma are still vivid in his mind.
His entanglement with his junior sister...
Those trivial details...
My junior sister's skillful movements, demeanor, and changes in expression...
Jiang Shuyu stood there stiffly, his expression grim, motionless.
Nangong Rou nestled in his arms. Even though she couldn't see the changes in his expression, she could clearly feel the changes in his body...
His body suddenly stiffened...
His strange silence at this moment...
And what Qin Wan just said...
Nangong Rou's expression changed, and emotions surged in her eyes...
waste!!!
