Chapter 117: Demon God A quarter of an hour later, Lan Zhao and his disciple finally talked...
A quarter of an hour later, Lan Zhao and his disciple finally finished reminiscing about the past. Walking up to Li Youyang and the other man, Lan Zhao bowed respectfully, "Thank you both for saving our Master. If there's anything I, Lan Zhao, can do in the future..."
Li Youyang interrupted coldly: "We need the seniors to cooperate with us in a play."
"acting?"
Lan Feichen was puzzled. Now that he was sober, he just wanted to kill the traitor with his own hands. If he had not been careless in checking, how could he have fallen into the trap?
Li Youyang explained: "I hope that Sect Master Lan will continue to act like a madman."
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and said, "After harming the Sect Master to this state, do you really think that catching a small fish or shrimp can relieve your hatred?"
Lan Feichen said coldly: "Of course not."
Bei Liyuan continued, "So, please bear with us for a moment, Sect Master Lan. If they're going to capture us, they'll have to catch someone big. The amount of elixirs they gave Senior Brother Lan is just enough to keep you awake for two to three hours, but your level of evil energy is gradually increasing. So I suspect they'll come here to test your level of evil energy beforehand. The Tianshen Sect is a crucial source of spiritual materials for them, so they'll definitely take it very seriously. Anyone coming here to test us won't be a random insignificant individual. Catching him will definitely be beneficial to us."
Lan Feichen nodded: "I understand, I will do as you two say."
…
After returning to the Tianshen Sect, as Li Youyang and the others were about to leave, Lan Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Could you two teach me the method you used to awaken Master? I've tried many Qingxin formations and Qingxin spiritual treasures before, but none of them worked."
Li Youyang took out a Qingxin Ling and handed it to Lan Zhao. "This is called the Qingxin Ling. I found it during my travels as a young boy. I later made several copies of it. It can be used with the Qingxin formation to dispel evil spirits."
"Qingxin Formation? The Qingxin Formation that Junior Brother Li used just now is dozens of times more powerful than the average Qingxin Formation. I wonder if you could teach me."
Li Youyang quickly moved his sword and performed the Qingxin Formation: "Have you memorized it?"
Lan Zhao nodded and thanked him.
After Li Youyang and the others left, Lan Zhao tried it out again and couldn't help but praise it. "It's just two more seals than an ordinary formation, but the effect is worlds apart. This person's attainments in formations are truly remarkable. I'm afraid there's no one in the universe who can compare to him."
…
Back at the inn, Bei Liyuan saw that Li Youyang was still frowning, so he poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him: "The net has been cast, and there will be results within a month. Master seems very worried."
Li Youyang took the teacup and said, "I was just wondering why the person behind this created the living blood puppet. Do you still remember the sacrifices made by the demons of the Jiuzhou Continent to revive the Red Fire Clan?"
Bei Liyuan nodded: "Of course I will never forget the stupid things Fu Guangjun did."
Li Youyang put down his teacup and said, "Later, I asked Fu Guangjun where he got this method from. Fu Guangjun said that it was told to him by the Red Fire Clan who still exist in the Jiuzhou Continent."
Bei Liyuan frowned: "The Red Fire Clan is one of the four great immortal clans. They really shouldn't have such evil methods."
Li Youyang looked out the window. "Perhaps we know very little. I've asked Chi Jun to help investigate whether the Red Fire Clan has a similar blood sacrifice resurrection method. If not, then the people who bewitched the Demon Clan on the Jiuzhou Continent are very likely the same group we've encountered now. If this is true as I speculate, this is a serious matter."
Bei Liyuan's eyes became more serious.
Half a month later, Li Youyang received a reply, confirming that the Chihuo Clan did not have such a method.
Bei Liyuan frowned: "When I was clueless, there were no clues at all. Now that I have found the direction, clues are coming from all directions."
Li Youyang casually burned the letter and said, "I have to go back. I'm a little worried."
Bei Liyuan nodded: "Then..."
Li Youyang interrupted: "I can go back alone, you stay here and wait for news."
Bei Liyuan was definitely unwilling to do so. In Jiuzhou Continent, there was Fu Guangjun who coveted Master, but if Master stayed here, there would also be Chijun coveting him. After weighing the pros and cons, he still felt that Fu Guangjun was the greater danger: "Master, how about you stay here and I go back."
Li Youyang nodded: "That's fine."
That day, Bei Liyuan used the Red Fire Clan's portal to return to the Jiuzhou Continent. As soon as Bei Liyuan left, Chi Jun arrived at the inn where Li Youyang was staying. Li Youyang was a little surprised: "Why is Chi Jun here?"
Chi Jun said softly, "Are you in any trouble?"
Li Youyang remained silent. After all, there was a rift between the immortal sects and the immortal clans, so it was not appropriate to let Chi Jun know about this matter.
Chi Jun continued, "I can't tell you. It seems that this is related to the Immortal Sect, so it is indeed not convenient for me to interfere. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."
Li Youyang nodded.
Chi Jun clenched his fist silently: "Bei Liyuan suddenly returned to Jiuzhou Continent. Did you have a dispute with him?"
Li Youyang: ???
"No."
Chi Jun felt a little disappointed. He thought that Bei Liyuan and Li Youyang had a dispute, and maybe there might be a chance. He had never met someone he liked, and Li Youyang was the first. Even though Li Youyang had clearly refused, even though he had made up his mind to give up completely, when he really saw hope, even a tiny bit, he couldn't help but come.
"Is there anything else, Chijun?"
Chi Jun understood that Li Youyang was trying to chase him away, but since he was already here and Bei Liyuan was not around, there was no reason for him to leave easily. "I asked other immortals about the ritual techniques you mentioned and found some information. I brought it all here."
As he spoke, he took out some letters and placed them on the table. Li Youyang picked them up and read them carefully, while Chi Jun watched him quietly from the side. He couldn't help but have a bit of an illusion that time seemed to have gone back to the days when Li Youyang stayed in Chi Jun Palace to recuperate after the Immortal Clan Competition, and a sweet feeling rose in his heart.
If I could have this person accompany me for the rest of my life, it would be the most wonderful thing in the world.
After reading the five letters, Li Youyang's eyes darkened. "Returning to Hongmeng and reshaping order, the person behind this actually had this idea."
Chi Jun hurriedly picked up the letter that Li Youyang had put down, and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what Li Youyang meant. He then picked up other letters and looked at them carefully, but still couldn't figure it out. He looked at Li Youyang in confusion.
Li Youyang said coldly, "Rumor has it that a Hellfire Dragon is sealed in the center of the Jiuzhou Continent. A letter states that when a blood puppet is sacrificed to the heavens, the mountains and rivers turn upside down, and the seal will inevitably be damaged. If the Hellfire Dragon escapes, it will destroy everything in Jiuzhou, killing all living things and filling the air with resentment, and will eventually return to the Primordial Realm. By analogy, there must be something in the universe that can slaughter all living things, but the sacrifice in the universe is a human puppet."
Chi Jun's eyes darkened: "But what good will returning to Hongmeng do to the people behind it?"
Li Youyang said coldly: "I have probably guessed who our opponent is."
Chi Jun: ???
Li Youyang stood up and walked to the window. "He wants to challenge the authority of the gods. He wants to restore order in this world. He refuses to accept it. Why can gods be so high and mighty and decide the fate of others?"
Chi Jun was slightly startled: "You don't seem to dislike this person, you even seem to admire him a little."
Li Youyang turned his head to look at Chi Jun, and raised the corner of his lips: "Chi Jun, don't you think such a person is very courageous?"
Chi Jun was silent.
Li Youyang continued, "If it were just a battle between him and the gods, I would definitely go and lend a hand. At the beginning of the universe, order was established by the Way of Heaven. The gods are above all things in the world and control everything. But why should the life and death of the mortals be controlled by a few strokes of their pen? Why should our fate be determined by them?"
Chi Jun was silent. He had never thought about this question.
Li Youyang smiled and said, "Sorry, I lost my composure just now."
Chi Jun was slightly startled: "Youyang, are you worried that Bei Liyuan is the War God Tribulation because of the War God Sword?"
Li Youyang was silent.
Chi Jun clenched his fist and said, "The Sword of the God of War has been lost in the universe for countless years and will never easily recognize a master. Bei Liyuan is most likely a God of War undergoing tribulation. After the gods undergo tribulation and return to their original positions, their mortal memories are usually erased. Youyang, abandon Bei Liyuan and choose me. You are just a tool for him to undergo tribulation. He can't accompany you for the rest of your life."
Li Youyang looked at Chi Jun with cold eyes: "It's not up to him to decide whether he can accompany me for the rest of my life. He was the one who provoked me in the first place. Why should he be able to escape unscathed just because he is a high and mighty God of War?"
Chi Jun was stunned. He had never seen Li Youyang so aggressive. In the past, he only thought that Bei Liyuan was deeply in love with Li Youyang, but now he realized that Li Youyang's feelings for Bei Liyuan were equally deep.
Li Youyang came back to his senses and said coldly, "I'm sorry."
Chi Jun smiled and said, "It's true that gods can choose to erase their memories after going through tribulations, but I think the first thing Bei Liyuan did after returning to his divine position was to rush down to find you. A petty person like him would be worried that you'd be snatched away the moment he left you."
Just as he finished speaking, Bei Liyuan's sound transmission note arrived: "Master, I have arrived at Jiuzhou Continent. Everything is fine on Jiuzhou Continent. As you expected, there are indeed people secretly moving, but they have been dealt with by Yu... um, Ling Ye Divine Venerable and others. I haven't been able to find out who is behind this. I am now at the transmission gate and will be back to the inn in about a quarter of an hour."
Chi Jun was speechless. He was really impressed. Was he just clinging to Li Youyang like this? He really didn't give anyone else any chance.
As a result, it took Bei Liyuan less than a quarter of an hour to return to the inn.
"Chi Jun is really free. He can come here in such a short time."
Chi Jun said coldly: "I will send the information I found about the blood sacrifice to Youyang."
Bei Liyuan said coldly: "The letter has been delivered, isn't it time for Chi Jun to leave?"
Chi Jun's eyes darkened. "I worked so hard to deliver the letter, and I didn't even have a sip of tea. Is this how you treat guests?"
"If it's a guest, I will naturally treat him well. But if it's a thief with bad intentions, I'm being lenient by not taking action."
"Who do you call a thief?"
Bei Liyuan sneered: "Whoever answers is the one who speaks."
Li Youyang rubbed his brows and said, "If you want to argue, go outside and argue."
Bei Liyuan hurried to Li Youyang's side and gently put his arms around his waist, saying softly, "Master, I've been away from you for so long, haven't you missed me?"
Li Youyang was speechless. It was only a few hours.
Bei Liyuan lowered his head and pecked Li Youyang on the lips: "But I miss my master."
Chi Jun was so angry that Hong Wen said, "Bei Liyuan, there is still a living person here!"
Bei Liyuan raised the corner of his lips: "Chi Jun, why don't you leave? Are you going to watch me and Master being intimate here?"
Chi Jun clenched his fists in anger, then loosened his grip and sat back in his chair, pouring a cup of tea: "It's getting late, it's not suitable to travel, I plan to leave at dawn."
As he said this, he looked at Bei Liyuan provocatively. He really didn't believe that Bei Liyuan could still be intimate with Li Youyang in front of him while he was here. Even if Bei Liyuan could really do it, Li Youyang would not let it go.
As expected, Li Youyang was about to push away, but Bei Liyuan hugged him even tighter, lowered his head and kissed Li Youyang directly on the lips, inserting his tongue without allowing any rejection, conquering the city.
Chi Jun was furious: "Bei Liyuan! You are so cruel!"
Then he left angrily with a flick of his sleeves.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips. To deal with a shameless person, one must be even more shameless than him.
Li Youyang frowned and pushed him away: "Are you satisfied?"
Bei Liyuan groaned, pretending to be angry: "I'm not satisfied. It wasn't long after I separated from Master that he came. Master even allowed him to stay here. If I hadn't come back, he would probably have stayed here all night..."
"Won't."
Bei Liyuan folded his arms and turned his head away: "I don't care, I'm angry, I'm jealous, I'm sour, Master has to... well..."
Li Youyang kissed his lips fiercely and used his tongue to entangle with him crazily.
Bei Liyuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and became more involved, quickly regaining the initiative. In the past, Li Youyang would have let him lead, but today Li Youyang fought with him even more fiercely, as if he was swearing something.
Only then did Bei Liyuan realize that Li Youyang was in a bad mood. He wanted to push him away to ask what was going on, but Li Youyang didn't give him the chance. It was rare for Li Youyang to be so proactive, so Bei Liyuan simply stopped thinking about it and concentrated on enjoying himself. Noticing that Li Youyang's enthusiasm had slightly faded, he took the opportunity to seize the initiative and guide him to entangle with him. When the time was almost right, he lowered himself, picked him up, and slid onto the bed...
As the sun rose, Li Youyang lay powerlessly in Bei Liyuan's arms. Bei Liyuan kissed Li Youyang's ear and lips softly, "What's wrong?"
Li Youyang lowered his eyes: "I'm a little afraid that one day you will leave me."
Bei Liyuan hugged him gently: "Don't be afraid, that day will never come."
Li Youyang smiled and said nothing more. He believed that Bei Liyuan would never do that now, but what if he returned to divine status one day? It was rumored that the gods were ruthless, and by then, he would be nothing more than an insignificant experience for Bei Liyuan. When he suddenly realized this, he wanted to chase him in the divine realm, but if he had changed, what would be the point in catching up and pestering him? His Liyuan had already disappeared!
Bei Liyuan hurriedly hugged her tighter. "If I return to my divine position, I'll forget you. Then I'll never go back. I'll only be happy with you for the rest of my life, silly."
Li Youyang nodded softly.
Seeing that Li Youyang was still sad, Bei Liyuan lowered his head and kissed him on the lips: "Why are you so silly? No matter who I am, I am Bei Liyuan. Even if I return to the throne of God, the first thing I will do is to find you. You are so good, I am worried that someone will snatch you away."
Li Youyang lowered his eyes: "I heard that the God of War is the most ruthless god."
Bei Liyuan laughed: "If he is truly heartless, how could he love you so madly? I guess the God of War must be a reserved person, pretending to be cold and heartless on the surface, but secretly longing for a devoted lover. Otherwise, why would he go to so much trouble to come to the next world to seek such a lingering relationship?"
Li Youyang couldn't help but laugh: "How could you say that about yourself?"
Bei Liyuan breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling happy: "Fool, why are you so stupid! Have you been worried since the War God Sword recognized me as its master?"
Li Youyang was silent.
Bei Liyuan lowered his head: "Silly boy, why did you tell me this only now? It's my fault too. I didn't even notice it. It's my fault."
Li Youyang shook his head.
Bei Liyuan said solemnly, "When a god undergoes tribulation, it is his spirit that enters the next realm. Since it is his spirit that returns to the divine realm, it is just a change of body. What difference does it make? It is rumored that gods will have their memories erased after tribulation, but it is only a rumor after all. In fact, who here has actually seen a god who has experienced tribulation and returned? Youyang, have more trust in me. Believe that even if I return to the divine realm, you will still be the only one I choose."
Li Youyang nodded: "Okay."
Bei Liyuan gently kissed the tip of Li Youyang's nose: "So good."
Then she whispered seductively in his ear: "It's still early, we can do it again."
Li Youyang tried to escape upon hearing this, but Bei Liyuan had already anticipated this and restrained him, lowering his head and kissing his already swollen lips...
It was not until noon that the two of them got up to bathe and wash up.
In front of the dressing mirror, Bei Liyuan carefully combed Li Youyang's hair, and looking at the person in the mirror, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Li Youyang frowned: "What are you grinning about?"
Bei Liyuan said softly, "I'm happy. I'm happy to think that Master is afraid that I will return to the divine position and abandon you. I have always been chasing after Master. This is the first time I have felt that Master is chasing me. It is wonderful."
Li Youyang: ...
After combing his hair, Bei Liyuan took out a demon fragment and said, "This is what Lord Lingye and his men found on those people. We didn't send a message to you before because we were worried that there were other people around you."
Li Youyang frowned.
Bei Liyuan hugged him gently: "Don't be angry, it's not that I don't trust you, but I already expected Chi Jun to come and show his courtesy."
Li Youyang sighed helplessly, sealed the Demon God fragment and put it away. "It seems that the mastermind behind this is the Demon God. Why did he take action only after so many years?"
Bei Liyuan said softly, "Perhaps he has been sealed for too long and has been recuperating. Perhaps he was waiting for an opportunity, and now it has arrived."
Li Youyang looked at Bei Liyuan in surprise. Bei Liyuan asked, "What did you think of?"
Li Youyang lowered his eyes: "Could it be related to you?"
Bei Liyuan: "Me?"
Li Youyang nodded. "Do you think it's possible that the demon god noticed you were going to the lower realm to experience tribulation, and that's why he had to take action in advance?"
Bei Liyuan stood up straight. "He mistakenly thought I was here to kill him? That shouldn't be the case! If I could kill him, I wouldn't have just broken the seal back then."
Li Youyang shook his head. "I'm overthinking it. It shouldn't have anything to do with you. The Demon God's goal is to return to Hongmeng and restore order. He wants to challenge the entire God Realm. Whether you've experienced the tribulation or not, he will carry out this plan. Moreover, you've experienced the tribulation for many years, but the actions of the Great Thousand World only started three years ago. There must be other opportunities that have chosen this time. What could it be..."
Li Youyang couldn't help but frown. Bei Liyuan smiled indulgently and flicked Li Youyang lightly with his hand: "Without any clues, you won't be able to figure it out just by imagining. Once Lan Zhao catches one, we'll have a clue."
Li Youyang sighed. Yes, he was too impatient.
Seeing Li Youyang's brows relaxed, Bei Liyuan said softly: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Li Youyang then remembered that Bei Liyuan had just hit him on the head and looked over with cold eyes: "Bei Liyuan, have I been too indulgent with you lately?"
Bei Liyuan chuckled and said, "I heard... Ouch!"
Li Youyang groaned, "Let's see if you dare to do it again in the future."
Bei Liyuan rubbed his forehead and looked at the mirror and said aggrievedly: "It's all red, Master, it hurts."
"Hold it."
"Okay!"
…
Since waking up that day, Lan Feichen had been feigning madness for five days, but no one had come. He couldn't help but feel a little irritated. Would these people ever come? He'd been screaming all day until his voice was hoarse, but he couldn't rest, not even to drink water. This job was truly inhuman. When he caught these people, he would beat them up to vent his anger.
Just as I thought of this, I noticed someone approaching and pretended to be even more attentive.
Then, a figure descended and looked at the frantic Lan Feichen with a sneer on his lips: "When Sect Master punished me with 300 lashes, could you have imagined this day would come? I swore at that time that I would repay you tenfold. For the past three years, I have paid you back 100 lashes every time I came here. After today's lashes, it will be exactly 3,000. Look, I forgot. Now I'm afraid you don't understand what I'm saying at all. You might even enjoy it when I lash you, don't you, my wise and mighty Sect Master?"
"That's bullshit!"
The figure was stunned for a moment: "Are you hallucinating?"
Just as Lan Feichen was about to take action, he heard Lan Zhao's voice in his ears: Master, I suddenly feel that if I play the long game, I might be able to catch a bigger fish. Please demonstrate it again.
Lan Feichen stopped and continued to roar.
The figure stared at Lan Feichen cautiously. After four or five breaths, he saw nothing unusual and relaxed his guard. "It seems you really are hallucinating. Grand Master, you better shout louder next time."
Then he pulled out the whip and hit Lan Feichen hard. Lan Feichen roared and thought, I'll endure it.
When it came to the ninety-ninth whip, Lan Feichen thought that there was only one last whip and he could just endure it, but he didn't expect that this guy would not count any further and whipped him for more than ten times, each counting to ninety-nine.
Lan Feichen cursed in his heart, "I'm going to endure it! I'm going to endure it! I'm going to endure it!"
Fortunately, footsteps were heard at this time, and the figure hurriedly put away the whip and fled.
Lan Zhao followed him in and sat beside the formation that imprisoned Lan Feichen, muttering to himself as he had done before. Only after he was sure the figure had left did he stand up, salute Lan Feichen, and ask with concern, "Master, are you alright?"
Lan Feichen hummed: "Just a few whips, no problem."
In fact, his whole body was burning with pain, and he had already cursed the traitor a thousand times in his heart. After the matter was resolved, he was determined to hang him up and whip him severely.
Lan Zhao took out some medicine and handed it over: "Master, this will relieve the pain."
Lan Feichen didn't answer. "It's just a minor injury, so why would you need medicine? I could have captured this traitor just now with just a move. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Lan Zhao said respectfully, "Zhen Jian alone couldn't have accomplished this. He doesn't have the ability or the courage. I suspect there must be someone else behind him. Letting him go today will reveal far more than if we had captured him."
Lan Feichen nodded: "Well, it's just a few lashes, I'll just bear with it."
Lan Zhao said respectfully again, "I'm sorry, Master."
