[I need to go back to my hometown in the Mortal Realm. Something has happened.] She sent another message to Ji Shiyan, fearing that he would go to Wuji Palace to look for her but would find her in vain.
But he asked her to wait, saying that he would go with her. Thinking of meeting him, Li Yirou changed into the things he gave her.
"It's just right. Going to the mortal world can give me some experience and help me cultivate my mind." Li Yiru didn't have to wait long before Ji Shiyan showed up. He was really happy to see her wearing the clothes he gave her.
Ji Shiyan and she walked out of the city. Li Yiru remembered that she had only flown with a sword once, but the speed was not as fast as the spirit boat. Although she was a little tempted, Xifeng was more important, so she gave up.
He actually made an excuse that he was doing it to cultivate his mind, saying, "I haven't cultivated enough yet." Li Yirou thought his excuse was funny.
Speaking of this, I became curious about his dreams, "What did you dream about, and how long did it take you to wake up?"
"For two months, I dreamed that... you and Fang Ye are Taoist couples, and both of you no longer pay attention to me." He looked embarrassed, and Li Yiru smiled with her eyebrows curved.
"What about you? I didn't appear much in your dreams, did I?"
Li Yirou recalled that scene, lowered her head to stop the strange image from appearing in her mind, and said righteously: "No, I also dreamed that you ran away with someone else."
She still cared about him very much. Ji Shiyan confirmed her feelings again, and her insecurity was gradually decreasing.
"You said that the tracking insect disappeared, does that mean the person is dead?" Ji Shiyan didn't know much about the insect, and he chatted with her while flying. Li Yiru also told him some things about Xifeng.
"It was so easy to open up the meridians, which shows that your friend has good qualifications. Doesn't she have any interest in cultivation? In fact, when she is older, she will have to suffer more in the beginning, and the cultivation will gradually become smoother later." Ji Shiyan felt sorry for others.
"Then let me ask her? Now that her husband is in trouble, maybe she won't be so love-brained." Li Yiru also felt that Xifeng might forget her past pain if she changed her environment, but she still had her daughter.
"Love-brained?" Ji Shiyan didn't quite understand. Li Yirou explained it to him, and Ji Shiyan nodded frequently. "I hope I can become that kind of person."
That doesn't seem like a good word...
Perhaps it was because Ji Shiyan was driving the spirit boat, and the higher his cultivation level, the faster he flew. They were not far from Linxian Village when dawn was approaching.
Across the vast sea, Li Yiru saw the location of the village in the distance turned into an orange-red light and connected into one piece.
"Fire..." Ji Shiyan sped up and when he got closer, Li Yiru saw that the fire was still burning, so he gathered rain to put it out.
But she didn't expect that the heavy rain she gathered could not put out the fire.
"It's not an ordinary fire." Ji Shiyan asked Li Yirou to stay on the spiritual boat and went down to take a look. He couldn't understand why this ordinary village would be set on fire.
Perhaps it was because the spiritual energy in the mortal world was insufficient, so the simplified Cloud and Rain Technique that Li Yiruo created had little effect on fire.
She let the spirit boat fly, and with the spiritual power stored in her dantian, she deliberately condensed a rain with abundant spiritual power.
This time, the flames made a crackling sound when they met the water, and they became smaller and smaller.
The spiritual fire was so special that it didn't even emit smoke. Linxian Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, so perhaps that's why it went unnoticed by the neighboring villages. It simply burned quietly throughout the village, and after the fire was extinguished, it was reduced to a charred black.
The person who lit the fire set a range to ensure that the entire village, including the villagers, would be burned to death, leaving no one alive, and without implicating others.
Li Yirou saw that there were perhaps a few people who ran out of the house when they were awake, but could not leave the formation. Their bodies were curled up and twisted, and their dark bodies revealed endless fear and terror. Li Yirou seemed to sense their terrified and resentful souls.
She asked Ji Shiyan to return and drove the spirit boat to Xifeng's house. There were also two charred adult corpses, one of which was holding a small child in its arms. Could it be Zhaodi...
Li Yirou felt a pity, seeing that energetic little girl die in the flames. The wind blew, and their barely lingering human forms turned to dust, vanishing with the wind. The spiritual fire here was even more powerful.
"Is this your friend's house?" Ji Shiyan asked. Li Yiru said "hmm" softly. Perhaps because she repaid the original owner's favor last time, her feelings for Xifeng gradually faded.
In short, she didn't feel sad, only curious, "Who could have done this?"
Apart from the original owner who held grudges against the villagers, she couldn't think of anyone else, but it certainly wasn't her who did it.
"Let's go back. We'll talk on the way." Li Yirou was worried that Ji Shiyan would feel uncomfortable. After all, there was no spiritual energy here.
"Cultivator? Demonic beast? I just hope it's not a demon." Although Ji Shiyan was affected by the turbid air, he didn't care about anything with her by his side.
Li Yiru didn't know much about the demon race. She only remembered the half-human, half-beast form she saw when she supported the Western Territory last time.
"What is the difference between the demon race, demon beasts, and human cultivators?" She asked the question in her heart. The demon race really seemed like a hybrid.
Ji Shiyan began to talk about how the demon race was originally monster beasts, and their relationship with humans was just like that of monster beasts today. Some of them became close to humans and turned into spirit beasts, or they would raise humans as pets; some fought with humans and killed each other.
When a monster beast cultivates to the immortal level, it can transform into a human form.
Later, after the goddess Fuyao ascended to heaven, perhaps because she didn't want the two races to always fight each other, she sealed the demon race in the demon world.
Because of the lack of spiritual energy, the demons found new ways to practice, transforming into half-human, half-beast forms. They have also been trying to completely break through the seal and occupy the world of cultivation as their territory.
"You said... Senior Brother Luo once took away the Fuyao Sword and broke the seal. Why? Is he a spy from the demon clan?" Ji Shiyan had told her some stories about Luo Hanchu and Si Xu before. Li Yiru remembered that she was instigated by the demon clan in her dream and couldn't help but doubt it.
Ji Shiyan shook his head, "Probably not. Rumor has it that the goddess said that whoever can take out the Fuyao Sword will own this divine weapon.
It just happened to be above the seal. Many people tried but failed. Brother took it out in one go.
Unfortunately, after he obtained the Fuyao Sword, the seal began to loosen, and many people blamed it on his senior brother.
My senior brother was still a young boy at the time, and although I heard what Master said, I don’t think he did it on purpose.”
Li Yirou pressed on, "Then why did he use the Explosive Spirit Gu? Was it because so many people were surrounding him at the time?"
"Well, they said the seal was loose and they wanted to punish Brother, but they were actually targeting the Fuyao Sword. He used the Explosive Spirit Gu to escape.
After returning to Qianji Pavilion, the master hurriedly took him to Fanyin Pavilion and saved his life. But later, for some reason, although he missed his senior brother very much, he still severed the master-disciple relationship with him.
"Maybe he was forced?" Li Yirou thought that this was a kind of invisible punishment for Luo Hanchu.
Anyone could take the spirit sword, but the seal was broken after he took it. Perhaps he couldn't be punished openly, so he could only be made a casual cultivator, and no sect would accept him.
