Chapter 85: Saving Jiuying and destroying the spirit tree Li Youyang said coldly...
Li Youyang said coldly, "I think I should have made myself clear. Besides, there are still many things that need to be dealt with right now."
Fu Guangjun clenched his fist silently: "I understand."
After leaving Baiyao Valley, the two went directly to Yingzhou. When they were almost there, Li Youyang used a formation to hide their voices.
"The atmosphere here is not right, proceed with caution."
Bei Liyuan nodded.
When they arrived at Yingzhou, they found that the entire Yingzhou had been occupied by the demons, and their cultivation levels were all above the Golden Immortal, even worse than the secret realm back then.
The two carefully followed the busy demon soldiers and soon found Jiuying.
Li Youyang held his forehead. Being a bit clumsy could be saved, but being so dumb as to fall into the same pit three times was truly beyond words. Nine heads, really, were a waste.
"Master, are we going to save people?"
"No rush, let's see what the demons are going to do first."
The two continued to follow the demons who had taken the blood, and found that they poured Jiuying's blood directly onto the spirit tree.
Li Youyang's eyes darkened. No wonder the spirit puppets in Yunshan Town hadn't sensed the Nine Infants' aura. This was the reason. It seemed they were using Yingzhou as their base. "Destroying the spirit tree directly might attract the attention of that mysterious person, and then rescuing the Nine Infants would be difficult."
The two returned to the dark prison. Li Youyang cast a time formation, temporarily stagnating all the demons inside. He then rescued Jiuying and released another puppet of the same kind before leaving.
The time formation was also dissolved as he left, and all the demons were unaware of the change.
After leaving Yingzhou, Li Youyang treated Jiuying's injuries for three days before Jiuying recovered: "You've become much stronger now that you've returned to your own body!"
Li Youyang frowned: "Where is the body?"
Jiuying immediately became alert. Could this man be a demon in disguise to deceive him? Otherwise, why would he ask for his corpse as soon as they met?
Li Youyang was speechless. "I really want to see what's going on with those nine heads of yours. You're not cautious when you should be, and you're alert when you shouldn't be."
Jiuying still didn't quite believe it.
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms and said, "Senior Jiuying, do you still remember giving me a top-grade map?"
Jiuying's eyes lit up instantly. The demons couldn't possibly know such a small thing. It seemed like it was really them. He was about to cry.
Li Youyang continued, "Time is running out. Where is the body?"
Jiuying quickly wiped away the tears that were already there, and said with some pride: "I was smart enough to hide the body in Fuguang Mountain."
Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "She's not very cunning, but she looks just right. Let's go."
The three of them arrived at Fuguang Mountain. Jiuying led them to the forest where the body was hidden. They dug in one place but found nothing, then dug in another place but found nothing... After digging for an hour, Jiuying scratched his head awkwardly: "If I say I forgot the exact location, you won't beat me, right?"
Li Youyang's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Step back."
The two did as they were told, and then there was a loud bang, and the entire forest was turned upside down. Li Youyang saw the corpse at a glance, and flashed over to probe into the spiritual breath to investigate.
Beiliyuan and Jiuying rushed over at the same time.
Li Youyang said coldly, "It is indeed the Red Fire Clan."
Bei Liyuan's eyes darkened. "This demon clan is truly insane. They're willing to resurrect foreigners just to get revenge. Given the Red Fire Clan's murderous nature, even if they get revenge, I'm afraid they won't be spared."
Li Youyang casually destroyed the corpse and said, "Return to Yingzhou and destroy the spirit tree."
…
In Yingzhou, the demons continued to water the spirit trees as planned. After two demon soldiers finished emptying their basins, they became puzzled. "This is really strange. In the past, the spirit trees would react somewhat after watering them. Why haven't they reacted at all these times?"
"Perhaps the spirit tree has reached a critical point and needs more blood to change. We should just follow orders and not worry about so many things."
Just as the two were about to turn around, a fierce killing array came towards them. They blocked it in a hurry and were injured but not killed. They quickly released a talisman for help.
In the void, Jiuying's eyes were filled with confusion: "Aren't we going to destroy the spirit tree? Why alert the enemy?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "They tortured you for so long, and you just let it go? Don't you want revenge?"
Jiuying frowned: "Of course I do, but I must put the overall situation first."
Seeing more and more demons coming to reinforce the spirit tree, Li Youyang curled the corners of his lips, then kicked Jiuying over.
Jiuying was already above the spirit tree when he reacted. He complained softly, "Why not just let him fight and tell him directly? Why did he have to do this?"
"Nine Infants!"
"Nine Infants are here, what's inside?!"
"When did he escape?!"
Jiuying summoned his demon sword and said solemnly, "You've tortured me for so long, it's time for you to have a taste of my power!"
After a sound, a sword was slashed out, and the heavy demonic aura pressed down the demon clan. In an instant, hundreds of demon soldiers turned into ashes.
Jiuying raised his sword and slashed again, but his power was neutralized by a demon: "I didn't expect you to escape!"
Killing intent flashed across Jiuying's eyes. His sword fingers moved swiftly, transforming into thousands of sword seals that fiercely attacked the demon clan. The demon clan waved his sleeves lightly to form a protective array, easily blocking the sword seals. He said nonchalantly, "You could have escaped the fate of being a sacrifice, but you are too impatient. It's a pity that you rushed here to die."
Jiuying sneered: "Death is imminent, yet you are still so arrogant!"
The demon's eyes darkened slightly, and he summoned an ink-black sickle, quickly dodged and slashed at Jiuying's vitals. Jiuying barely dodged it and was secretly shocked at how fast it was!
As I was startled, the sickle was already in front of my face...
"Jiuying is no match for this man. Li Yuan, go help him and don't let him get killed."
Bei Liyuan nodded and flashed into the battle. Jiuying, who was originally at a disadvantage, turned the tables in an instant, and the demons were defeated in just three rounds.
The demon sneered, "On your own, you are no match for me. Even if you win, it won't be glorious."
Jiuying folded his arms and said, "The winner will be a king and the loser will be a bandit. Let's not talk about the dishonorable situation. Now it's you who is crawling on the ground and being slaughtered."
The demon groaned.
Li Youyang flashed to the side of the two men and said coldly, "Where is your Demon Lord? I want to talk to him."
The demon sneered: "The Demon Lord is so noble, how can you see him just because you want to?"
Li Youyang's eyes darkened, and he pointed his sword directly at the demon's eyebrows, wanting to use the technique of spying, but the demon actually blew himself up and died.
Jiuying was slightly startled: "What a ruthless person."
Li Youyang's eyes turned cold, and he moved his sword slightly. The spiritual tree turned into ashes in an instant. "You can clean up the rest yourself."
Jiuying hummed: "Where are you going? Wait for me for a moment and I will go with you."
Li Youyang coldly refused: "You have something you need to do, unite the entire demon race to deal with the future catastrophe, Li Yuan."
Just as the two were about to leave, Jiuying suddenly said, "Youyang, I have something I want to talk to you alone. Can you give me a moment?"
Li Youyang looked at Bei Liyuan, and Bei Liyuan retreated silently.
Jiuying clenched his fists, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I like you. I've liked you since the first time I lost to you. You..."
Li Youyang interrupted: "I have no intention towards you."
Jiuying smiled and said, "I guessed it a long time ago, but if I don't say it out loud, if I don't put an end to this relationship, I can't start over. Youyang, are we still friends?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "You shouldn't ask me this question. For me, nothing has changed. It's about whether you mind or not."
Jiuying was slightly startled. He had always worried that being rejected would mean losing their friendship of many years, so he had been hesitant to express his feelings. Now he realized that he had underestimated Li Youyang. He smiled and said, "After I'm done with this busy period, I'll go drink with you. I won't leave until I'm drunk."
Li Youyang frowned. He had never been a good drinker. "I'll drink tea."
Jiuying hummed: "Okay."
Li Youyang flashed to Bei Liyuan's side and said, "Let's go."
On the way back to Yunshan Sect, Li Youyang noticed that Bei Liyuan had been silent. He thought he was bothered by what had just happened, so he explained, "Jiuying expressed his feelings to me, but I rejected him."
Bei Liyuan said softly, "I guessed it."
Li Youyang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then why are you unhappy?"
Bei Liyuan lowered his eyes: "No."
Li Youyang frowned. After being together for such a long time, no matter how hard Bei Liyuan tried to hide his thoughts, he could still see through them at a glance. However, what he was worst at was guessing people's hearts. He could guess that Bei Liyuan was unhappy about what happened just now, but he couldn't guess the reason. If it were in the past, Bei Liyuan didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask too much, but he couldn't do it now!
He thought about it and sighed silently. Love affairs were indeed as troublesome as he had thought, but it also made people inexplicably fascinated and deeply involved.
Bei Liyuan also noticed Li Youyang's mood and said hurriedly: "Master, I didn't... Um"
Li Youyang's unexpected kiss made Bei Liyuan stare blankly with eyes wide open. When he came to his senses, Li Youyang had already left his lips. Bei Liyuan curled his lips, put his arms around Li Youyang's waist, and kissed the other's lips deeply. He was domineering and strong, and after conquering the city and territories, he was tender and gentle. It was a long time before he let go of the person reluctantly.
Looking at Li Youyang's slightly swollen mouth, I felt in a good mood.
Li Youyang frowned slightly. He had originally planned to coax the other person with a light kiss, but he didn't expect the other party to be so overbearing. He had to restrain himself in the future.
"Why were you unhappy just now?"
"I told you, Master, don't be angry."
"you say."
"I... I think Master is too good. There are always people who want to covet him, and there will definitely be more in the future. When I think about their covetous hearts, I get particularly annoyed."
Li Youyang held his forehead with his hand. This guy is a jealous jar! He even gets jealous of the future.
Bei Liyuan said again: "Master, after this matter is resolved, shall we find a place to retire?"
Li Youyang nodded.
Bei Liyuan curled his lips and felt better. He had to plan carefully and find a secret and deserted place.
…
After returning to Yunshan Sect, Bei Liyuan read books in the library, which was rare. He wanted to find out if there was the place he wanted, and began to plan his life after retirement.
By the time he came to his senses, it was already midnight. He hurried back to his bedroom, but Li Youyang was nowhere to be found. It was strange. Where had the master gone so late? Was he going to the bathroom?
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, but seeing no one coming back, he hurriedly released his spiritual energy to investigate, but found that there was no trace of Li Youyang in the entire Yunshan Sect.
