Her vision began to darken again, her heart pounded. The Gu worms, considered heretical by the righteous sects, were influenced by the aura of the souls of their predecessors and were constantly restless, making Li Geyue want Ji Mofan very, very much now.
The moment Li Geyue calmed down, she eagerly looked up and surveyed the area below the Execution Platform.
Ji Mofan did not abandon him. Although he stood there quietly, he gave Li Geyue the willpower to persevere.
Unfortunately, this willpower was immediately shattered by the figure beside Ji Mofan.
Why is the eldest brother standing with the young master?
Like Ji Mofan, Li Jinchu was a prominent figure in the cultivation world, but he became famous earlier than Ji Mofan.
Therefore, although he arrived quietly, he still caused a subtle commotion in a very short time.
"Is that Li Jinchu?"
"What is he doing at our Yuncang Sword Sect? Is it because of Senior Brother Li?"
"Even if the Li family is powerful and wealthy, it can't erase the fact that Senior Brother Li injured someone..."
"What are you speculating about? Young Master Li has been standing there without moving since he arrived. How can you guess that he's here to support his own family?"
"If he's not here to offer support, then what is he doing here? Just watching the show?"
"Both the eldest son of the Li family and the senior disciple of the Xiaoling Sect, is he that free?"
"Can't I just be dragged here for no reason...?" Annoyed by the discussions of the disciples next to her, Li Jinchu couldn't help but shield her eyes with her folding fan and complain to Ji Mofan next to her.
This is clearly the truth, but compared to the discussions among the disciples, it inexplicably seems unreliable.
This made Li Jinchu a little suspicious as to why she was simply summoned over by just a few words.
Oh, right, it was because Ji Mofan called him "Young Master Li" that he became curious.
"Regardless of whether your arrival was inexplicable or not," Ji Mofan turned his head to look at him, "you now have to deal with it properly."
Li Jinchu couldn't help but cover half her face with her folding fan, and silently mumbled something behind her back.
I didn't see it clearly, but I imagine it wasn't anything nice he was complaining about.
But despite his complaints, Li Jinchu didn't give up just because he didn't want to do it.
"When did your inner demons appear? And what caused them?" Li Jinchu asked him.
“If I said I didn’t know…” Ji Mofan turned to look at him.
“I would say that you haven’t improved at all in these three years; you’re still the same greenhorn you were back then,” Li Jinchu said.
Ji Mofan was scolded by him, and the words he wanted to say turned off his tongue.
"The exact time is unclear, but judging from the intensity of the inner demon, it's been developing for at least a month." He selectively revealed the information he wasn't afraid of others hearing. "The cause is also unclear, but there's a certain possibility—"
He pointed to himself, "It concerns me."
Li Geyue, standing on the Execution Platform, could no longer hear what the people below were saying.
His pupils reflected only the two figures standing together. He watched as Li Jinchu covered her face with a folding fan and leaned close to Ji Mofan to say something.
The latter also lowered his eyes, tilted his head obediently, and listened to him attentively.
I feel a severe tightness in my chest.
Li Geyue could no longer distinguish whether it was due to inner demons or the Gu worms causing trouble.
Before ascending the Execution Platform, Shen Yun repeatedly instructed him to protect his spiritual platform from attacks on his soul.
If you can get through this, you can hope to completely defeat your inner demons.
If you can't survive it, at best your spirit will be injured, at worst...
His inner demons will completely overwhelm his mind.
But at this moment, his mind was in complete turmoil, and he couldn't stabilize his Dao heart at all.
The indiscriminate attacks of the remnant soul of his predecessor brought increasingly clear pain, and he could not find a specific point of impact. The pain attacked him from the inside out, and he was so uncomfortable that he could not make a sound even when he opened his mouth.
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!
The eldest brother didn't even glance at him! He was only focused on talking to the young master next to him!
Yes, they are from the same world...
Li Geyue had no desire to recall what kind of emotional impact he had when he saw Ji Mofan and Li Jinchu standing on the same stage at the Dao Asking Conference.
Those two people have the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with each other.
He seemed forever destined to stand at a distance, reaching out his hands in vain to grasp the air in front of him.
"don't want......"
Li Geyue didn't know if Ji Mofan could hear his voice. He didn't even know if he had opened his mouth. Maybe he was just shouting in his heart.
"Don't leave me..."
Shen Yun was the first to notice that something was wrong.
An unusual surge of spiritual energy emanated from the Execution Platform, instantly enraging the remnant souls swirling above. One by one, they desperately charged towards the cluster of soul fire belonging to Li Geyue, nearly extinguishing the small flame completely.
"What happened?"
Why would the Execution Platform react so strongly?
"I've read in ancient books recording the history of the Yun Cang Sword Sect that the only situation that could cause this kind of fluctuation on the Execution Platform is..."
Li Jinchu's previously nonchalant expression now turned completely serious.
He stuffed the folding fan into his Qiankun bag, then leaped into the air, using his lightness skill, and landed beside Shen Yun, who was carrying Li Geyue.
"Elder Shen, how is my cousin doing?" he asked Shen Yun.
Shen Yun's expression was also quite grim.
It wasn't because something bad had happened to the Li family members while he was in charge.
