Chapter 120: After a heavy meal, a hungry sleep, and a nap, Li You...
After a nap, Li Youyang began to read the information Chi Jun had sent him about Chu Wei. He had just read two pages when Bei Liyuan walked in carrying exquisite pastries. Before he could say anything, Li Youyang said coldly, "Get lost!"
Bei Liyuan put down the cake and hurried out the door. Li Youyang raised his hand and the cake flew out of the door and hit Bei Liyuan on the head. Bei Liyuan regretted it very much. It looked like he might not be able to go to bed for a while. But it was rare for his master to be so enthusiastic at that time, and it was really a different feeling outside, so he couldn't control himself at all.
As luck would have it, this scene was just witnessed by Chi Jun who came to deliver a letter: "Did Brother Bei have a quarrel with You Yang?"
Bei Liyuan looked at Chi Jun with a gloomy expression. Chi Jun raised the corner of his lips slightly and walked in. "Youyang, this morning, Yin Yue was looking through Chu Wei's past and stumbled upon a trivial matter. I think it's a little strange, so I brought it here for you to take a look."
Li Youyang took it.
Bei Liyuan was not at ease letting Chi Jun be alone with Bei Liyuan, so he wanted to sneak into the room quietly. Just as he stepped in, Li Youyang's eyes darkened and the door slammed shut on him.
Bei Liyuan rubbed his head, it hurt from the collision.
Seeing this, Chi Jun was in a good mood. He pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "But what did Brother Bei do to displease You Yang?"
Li Youyang was silent.
Chi Jun continued, "Friend Bei is also very impulsive and always makes you angry. If it were Youyang..."
Li Youyang raised his eyes and said coldly: "What's it to you?"
Chi Jun was slightly stunned.
Li Youyang added, "Now that it has been delivered, Chijun can leave now."
Seeing that Chi Jun had no intention of leaving, Li Youyang said coldly: "Chi Jun, do you want me to give you a ride?"
Chi Jun laughed twice, then stood up and left.
When he left, he glanced at Bei Liyuan. What did this guy do to make Li Youyang so angry?
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms: "What are you looking at? You've been kicked out anyway."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of something banging on the door: "Get away."
Chi Jun: ...
Bei Liyuan made an "oh" sound and walked away a few steps with a wronged look on his face.
Chi Jun came back to his senses. It turned out that they weren't talking about him! He really didn't expect Li Youyang to be so furious. He was even more curious about what Bei Liyuan had done.
Curiosity drove him to Bei Liyuan's side and asked in a low voice, "What on earth did you do?"
Bei Liyuan snorted coldly: "It's better if you don't know, otherwise you will be so jealous that you won't be able to sleep for days and nights."
"Haha! I really don't believe it. If I knew Youyang was this angry, I would probably wake up laughing for days and nights."
Bei Liyuan raised the corner of his lips and said, "Master and I have been loving each other for eight days and nights, and Master is angry that I am asking for too much."
Chi Jun's face turned dark instantly, and he left angrily with a flick of his sleeves.
Bei Liyuan was complacent: "You insist on making yourself uncomfortable, you deserve it."
Li Youyang took the letter sent by Chi Jun Fangfang, read it carefully, and his eyes gradually became solemn.
At this moment, the inn suddenly shook violently. Li Youyang dodged and left the inn. Bei Liyuan hurriedly followed him: "The direction of the spiritual energy fluctuation should be..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Youyang had already headed towards the Tianshen Sect, with Bei Liyuan following closely behind.
The two of them went straight to the forbidden area of the Tianshen Sect. They saw Lan Zhao and several monks trying hard to repair the cracks in the seal, but they still couldn't stop the cracks from gradually expanding. Without bothering to ask more questions, the two of them joined in. After the cracks healed, Li Youyang asked, "What happened?"
Lan Zhao was still terrified. "I underestimated Zhen Jian. I originally thought I could use him to find the person behind the scenes, so I sent someone to follow him. He must have discovered my people, and he deliberately misled me into thinking his ally was the elder guarding the seal of the Demon God fragment. I was worried there might be a problem with the seal, so I came to check it out. The elder, under orders, naturally refused to let us in, and we eventually forced our way into the forbidden area. Seeing this, the elder had no choice but to compromise. As soon as we reached the seal, Zhen Jian threw something into it, and the seal instantly cracked. You all know what happened next."
Li Youyang stood for a long time, trying hard to hold on, and now his legs could not help but tremble.
Lan Zhao thought that Li Youyang was scared because they almost released the demon.
Bei Liyuan hurried to Li Youyang's side and asked him to lean closer to him. Li Youyang's eyes instantly froze into ice, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
Lan Zhao's face was filled with self-blame: "It was indeed my negligence in this matter. I almost made a huge mistake."
Li Youyang was about to explain when Zhen Jian suddenly wailed. Everyone looked over and saw that his whole body was red, his feet had gradually melted into blood mist, and then turned into bloody evil spirit.
Lan Zhao was shocked: "Oh no! Stop him!"
Zhen Jian sneered: "It's too late."
Even so, except for Li Youyang and Bei Liyuan, everyone else present formed a formation to stop them.
Li Youyang looked at Zhen Jian and asked coldly, "Why?"
Zhen Jian's eyes were firm. "A new order always requires sacrifice. In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and the weak are destined to be trampled upon by the strong. But who wants to be born weak? Why should some people be trampled upon by others?!"
Lan Zhao said solemnly: "The strong ones are those who practice hard on their own..."
Zhen Jian sneered, "That's nice to hear. Practice hard! That's because you, Lan Zhao, are incredibly talented, and your family has endless resources. Have you ever thought about those with less talent who can't even build a foundation no matter how hard they try? And those with extremely high talent who were born in humble circumstances and lack the resources to make further progress? Do you still think it's fair that the strong are respected? The descendants of the strong are destined to be strong. How can the weak work hard to turn things around? You so-called strong people occupy all the resources and are always high and mighty. We, who join the immortal sect, are disciples at best, but at worst, we are your cattle and horses. Have you ever treated us as human beings? The laws of this world are inherently unfair and should be overturned!"
Bei Liyuan said in a deep voice: "Naive."
Zhen Jian looked at Bei Liyuan, who said coldly, "Who told you that the rule of the strong being respected is fair? In the world of cultivation, where is there any fairness? The rule of the strong being respected is not set by anyone, but it is a fact. As you said, you joined the sect under pressure, but you also have the sect's protection. If you were alone in the secret realm trial, cultivators stronger than you would probably kill you and take your treasure without even thinking about it. But once you put on the sect uniform of a disciple of the Tianshen Sect, they would not dare to touch you easily. You enjoy the convenience brought to you by the sect, but you complain about the sect making you do things, but there is no such good thing in this world. Moreover, you think that re-establishing order will take care of the weak and change the status quo. You are wrong! The final result is still the rule of the strong being respected, and you, or rather, you, can't change anything."
"Nonsense! We can do it. The new world will definitely be different! The new world will have new rules and constraints, and..."
Bei Liyuan interrupted: "Who controls these rules? Do you think weak people can ensure their implementation?"
Zhen Jian sneered: "You don't understand at all. What we want to change is the laws of nature!"
Bei Liyuan said coldly, "The laws of heaven are merely set by the strongest heaven, and those who control them are still the strongest. You thought you could change them by doing this, but in the end, you only reshuffled the forces of all parties and changed only who was the strongest. But because of this action of yours, how many innocent lives have been lost? You keep saying that you are trying to change the fate of the weak, but what about the human puppets you refined to achieve your goal?"
Zhen Jian said solemnly: "To establish a new order, someone has to sacrifice."
Bei Liyuan said coldly, "Then what right do you have to decide their life and death? To them, aren't you the strong who trample on them? On the one hand, you uphold the injustice of respecting the strong, but on the other hand, you follow this rule to bully the weak. You keep saying that you are doing this to change the status quo of the weak. You are really ridiculous!"
Zhen Jian was silent. He was indeed doubtful at that moment, but he soon became extremely firm. "Don't try to mess with my mind. I may not be able to convince you, but my master can. His way is the only justice in this world. Only he can let weaklings like us control our own destiny."
Then he moved his sword again, and his whole body turned into evil spirit and merged into the sealing formation. In an instant, the sealing formation shattered, and rolling devilish breath surged out.
Li Youyang's fingertips moved invisibly.
Lan Zhao and the others looked ashen: "What should we do?"
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms: "What else can we do? Find a way to catch him back!"
The elder in charge of guarding the seal said dejectedly, "How could it be so easy? Back then, the Red Fire Clan sealed away a fragment of the demon god that escaped, and even after so many years, they still haven't been caught."
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and said, "Just because he can't catch him doesn't mean you can't catch him either. Fix the sealing formation first, or you'll have nowhere to keep him after you catch him."
Li Youyang looked at Lan Zhao and said, "Now that things have come to this, there's no need for the Tianshen Sect to pretend anymore. Let Sect Master Lan return and immediately search for the traitors within the sect and call on other sects to conduct self-investigations."
Lan Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Fellow Daoist Li, what you mean is..."
Li Youyang said coldly, "It depends on whether we catch him first or he completes his plan first."
Lan Zhao nodded and said, "Elder Yun, please repair the sealing formation. After the Sect Master returns, I will capture the Demon God."
…
After leaving Tianshen Sect, Bei Liyuan hurriedly picked up Li Youyang. Although Li Youyang was very reluctant, his legs were so weak that he had no choice but to accept it.
Back at the inn, Bei Liyuan carefully placed the person on the bed: "Master..."
"roll."
"oh."
Bei Liyuan was about to turn around when Li Youyang took a deep breath and said, "Come back."
Bei Liyuan hurried back, and Li Youyang gave him a talisman: "I planted a tracking talisman on the demon god. Let's see what their purpose is, and then capture him and bring him back to Lan Zhao."
Bei Liyuan nodded repeatedly: "Then Master, if I can handle this, can you..."
Li Youyang looked over with cold eyes. Bei Liyuan didn't dare to say anything more and quickly changed his words: "Master, don't worry. I will definitely take care of this matter."
Li Youyang retracted his gaze: "Go away."
Bei Liyuan left with his head down and ears drooping.
Li Youyang looked at Bei Liyuan's expression and finally felt a little soft-hearted: "Be careful."
Bei Liyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he turned to look at Li Youyang: "Well, don't worry, Master."
…
On that day, the Tianshen Sect eliminated 32 traitors, and other sects also began to conduct self-inspections.
The mysterious man was caught off guard by this incident. He had just asked Lan Zhao for spiritual materials a few days ago. At that time, Lan Zhao evaded the question, saying that it would take a few days to prepare everything. Now it seems that Lan Zhao probably had no intention of preparing it from the beginning. When did Lan Feichen get out of control, or was it from the beginning... No, if Lan Zhao had this ability, he would not have been blackmailed by him for so long. Ying Hongxuan is also unlikely, and there must be other people helping them behind the scenes.
Wait, could Zhou Yi and Yue Baiyi have escaped as well? Ying Hongxuan's confidence isn't just backed by Lan Zhao, but also by these two and the experts behind them. Where in the world could such a formidable figure exist? Or was he overthinking it, and had Ying Hongxuan actually found a way to resolve the evil spirit?
But it's not all bad news. At least Zhen Jian succeeded, which gave him an extra useful helper. Once the demon god appears, those people will have to devote more energy to deal with him. After all, compared with the demon god, his harm is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.
"Chu Wei, you've kept me waiting for a long time."
The mysterious man looked up, only to see the demon god standing in the void, looking down at him from above. "If the situation hadn't changed, you probably wouldn't have wanted to let me out, right?"
Chu Wei sneered, "Are you speaking to me from a higher position now, Demon God? Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would still be sealed. Don't forget, you still have six fragments that haven't escaped."
The demon god dodged and smiled, "We are supposed to be collaborators. Why should we ruin our relationship over a few words?"
Chu Wei smiled and said, "If the Demon God had spoken nicely from the beginning, we wouldn't have had this unpleasant experience. I have released the Demon God. Please tell me the location of the next Sky Pillar."
The demon touched his chin and asked, "Have you destroyed the previous two?"
Chu Wei nodded: "The second one was destroyed not long ago."
"Oh my! It takes a lot of human puppets to destroy Optimus Prime. As a demon god, I can't bear to be so cruel to my people. You humans are even more ruthless than me."
Chu Wei frowned: "If you want to accomplish great things, you can't be soft-hearted, otherwise all the sacrifices you made before will be in vain."
The demon god didn't respond, but instead said, "The third pillar is beneath the Yinghai Sea."
Chu Wei nodded: "Thank you."
As the demon god was about to leave, he gave another reminder: "If even one of the four pillars remains undestroyed, your goal will be thwarted. The first two are relatively easy to destroy, but the third and fourth are quite different. Furthermore, strange phenomena will inevitably occur when they are destroyed, meaning you cannot destroy them quietly."
Chu Wei nodded: "Thank you for the reminder."
The demon god smiled and turned to leave. Leaving Chu Wei in a deserted place, the demon god stopped and said coldly: "Come out."
Bei Liyuan appears.
The Demon God was startled for a moment, then smiled: "I never thought that the dignified Lord God of War would lower himself to follow me. I wonder what advice Lord God of War has for me?"
Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "I don't deserve your teaching, I just want to take you back."
The Devil sneered, "Lord War God should be in the lower realms undergoing tribulations right now. I have no intention of disturbing him, and I hope the War God won't interfere with me. Besides, judging by his current state, if a fight breaks out, I'm afraid the War God won't be my opponent."
Bei Liyuan said nonchalantly: "Whether we can win or not, we can only know after we fight."
As he spoke, he summoned Shen Yuan.
The demon god's eyes darkened, and he also took a fighting stance, but the next moment he fled. Bei Liyuan was slightly startled and chased after him: "The demon god spoke so confidently, I thought I could get a taste of his former glory, but I didn't expect him to just run away."
The Demon God said playfully, "It's called knowing the times makes a hero. If Lord God of War is defeated, he can go through the tribulation again. But I still have a lot of things to do. Especially since I know you're going through the tribulation, I have to seize the opportunity to beat up the God Emperor who plotted against me. I definitely can't waste my energy here. But if Lord God of War insists on causing trouble for me, I don't mind helping him go through the tribulation again. It's just a waste of time anyway. I've come through such a long time, and I only have a few more years left."
Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he instantly sped up to stop the demon god: "I'm afraid it won't take just a few years."
As he was about to attack, the demon god simply surrendered: "Don't fight, I surrender."
Bei Liyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "What is the Demon God doing?"
The demon god said sincerely: "I'm always too lazy to fight unnecessary battles. In the end, the God of War will release me anyway."
"Um?"
The demon god smiled and said, "It will be confirmed in the future."
Bei Liyuan didn't waste any more time talking to the demon god. He sealed it with a formation and brought it to Lan Zhao. Lan Zhao quickly sealed it back into the forbidden area and reinforced several formations to prevent it from escaping.
After finishing everything, he thanked Bei Liyuan profusely. Bei Liyuan said a few polite words and hurried back to the inn, and then he saw Chi Jun shamelessly asking for tea from Li Youyang.
"It really is haunting. Why did Chi Jun come this time?"
Chi Jun smiled and said, "It's nice to meet you. Why can't I come over and reminisce with my old friend?"
Bei Liyuan frowned: "Who is your old friend? Don't get too close."
Chi Jun picked up the teacup and said, "Of course it's not you."
Bei Liyuan snorted coldly and sat opposite Chi Jun. The two people he hated most in his life were Fu Guangjun who had no bottom line, and the other was the shameless Chi Jun. His master had already become a Taoist partner with him, but these two people still kept pestering him. They were really shameless.
Li Youyang said coldly: "How?"
Bei Liyuan said, "Chu Wei wanted to destroy the Pillars of Heaven. From their conversation, we learned that there are four Pillars of Heaven in the universe. He has already destroyed two of them. The third one is at the bottom of Yinghai. The Demon God has also been successfully sealed, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that the demon's attitude is a little strange. He didn't resist at all and even said that we would release him later. He looked very determined."
Chi Jun's eyes darkened slightly: "Chu Wei is still alive?"
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms: "Not only is he alive, he also bewitched a group of idiots to embark on a grand plan to destroy the world, return to Hongmeng, and restore order."
Chi Jun: “Ah?”
Bei Liyuan looked disgusted: "What? I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. How can I scare you?"
Chi Jun came back to his senses: "So, he was the one who directed and acted out the unsealing of the Demon God fragments back then."
"What else?"
Chi Jun lowered his eyes: "Then everything the Chihuo Clan has suffered over the years is not unfair."
"How can it not be unfair? What does his mistake have to do with the rest of the tribe? Why should they pay the price of nearly exterminating their tribe for his mistake?"
Chi Jun stood up: "Where is he?"
Bei Liyuan was speechless: "What, do you want to capture him? Or do you want to tip him off?"
Chi Jun's eyes darkened: "Of course, we will capture him and bring him back."
Bei Liyuan was silent. At this moment, he really felt that Chi Jun was also a stubborn fool. If he could catch him, he would have done it then. Why wait until now? After so many years of planning, Chu Wei must have already made multiple countermeasures. Even if he died, the plan would probably not stop. What's the point of catching him?
Chi Jun also reacted: "Then what should I do next? What can I do?"
Li Youyang said coldly: "Find out all the people in the Immortal Clan who obey Chu Wei's orders."
Chi Jun: "I'll go back and do it."
Li Youyang added, "I speculate that Chu Wei is very likely to have hidden the refined human puppets somewhere in the Red Fire Clan. If we can get these human puppets, then we will have the upper hand."
Chi Jun nodded: "Okay, leave this to me."
After Chi Jun left, Bei Liyuan looked at Li Youyang aggrievedly: "Master, considering my hard work along the way, can you please let me go back and sleep?"
Li Youyang said coldly: "Get lost."
Bei Liyuan hummed, turned around and left in disgrace. He was so full every meal and so hungry every other. Bei Liyuan, you really deserve it. I told you to be unrestrained and wasteful! Now you’re okay, right?
At night, Bei Liyuan quietly slipped into the room and moved towards the bed, but when he approached the bed, he heard low sobbing. Then he saw Li Youyang covered with the quilt. Without thinking too much, he quickly pulled the quilt away and saw that Li Youyang's face was covered with tears, and tears were still sliding down his cheeks. So the master did not let him sleep with him because he was worried that he would see it.
He quickly hugged the person in his arms, lowered his head and tremblingly kissed away Li Youyang's tears.
Li Youyang leaned on Bei Liyuan, tears still falling: "I... I can't seem to do it, Liyuan, I can't go back, I can't go back."
Bei Liyuan hugged her tighter: "I know, believe me, I will never leave you."
Li Youyang choked up and said, "I thought I could live well without you, but now I feel empty when I think about being alone in the future. I can't live without you. Li Yuan, please don't leave me, okay?"
Bei Liyuan kissed his lips lovingly. Li Youyang now seemed to have returned to the way he was when he just woke up from soul cultivation. He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. There was no other way except to stay by Li Youyang's side all the time.
"Li Yuan, what do you want? It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you... don't leave."
Bei Liyuan hugged the man tighter, wishing he could rub him into his bones and blood: "Silly boy, you're not well yet. Besides, I need to rest too."
Afterwards, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms. During the day, Li Youyang seemed like a different person, being very cold to him. At night, he became very helpless. The more this happened, the more worried Bei Liyuan became. He remembered that when he opened the bookstore, he had read about a kind of heart disease in a book that could completely divide a person, and eventually make him completely out of control, and even lead to suicide.
Bei Liyuan understood that the matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. The first time, he took the initiative to go to the Star God Temple and burn incense and kowtow directly. The Star God Sima Ming could not bear it, and he spit out two mouthfuls of blood and then appeared.
Bei Liyuan didn't bother beating around the bush and asked, "Is there any way to avoid returning to the divine position?"
The Star Lord Siming was stunned.
Bei Liyuan was about to bow again, but Siming Xingjun hurriedly said, "After going through tribulations, the gods will eventually return to their divine positions. This cannot be changed."
Bei Liyuan sneered: "Really?"
After lighting incense, the Star Lord Siming said hurriedly, "But returning from a tribulation doesn't mean severing ties with the past. Many gods in the divine realm have returned from tribulations and returned to the lower realms to cultivate with their partners, gaining godhood and becoming loving partners. The final choice is still yours."
Bei Liyuan lowered his eyes: "Youyang has been in a bad condition recently because of this matter. Is there any way?"
Siming Xingjun: "It should be because of the matter of the divine tablet. I can temporarily erase his memory of the divine tablet."
Bei Liyuan nodded: "That's it for now. How long do I have left to complete my tribulation?"
Siming Xingjun: "It depends on you. Now that you have developed feelings for him, you can return to your position at any time."
Bei Liyuan curled his lips: "That means I can stay here forever as long as I don't want to."
Siming Xingjun: "In theory, it is true, but..."
Bei Liyuan turned and left.
The Star Lord Siming sighed silently, but the God Emperor would not let you stay in the world forever.
