Chapter 24: Junior Sister is Normal
Inside the round bead, the second senior brother was hanging in the air unconscious, with the evil energy on his body constantly leaking out and merging into a ball of white light, which gradually dimmed and became gray.
For some reason, this ball of gray gas gave people a sense of simplicity and heaviness. Since it couldn't be decomposed, but it didn't seem dangerous, I'd just leave it alone.
On the side, the venom spewed by the giant python was still suspended in the air, as was the soul of the black-robed and masked man from the Lingjian Sect.
Ouyang Ruochen took out a pill and stuffed it into Zhong Ling'er's mouth. When she finally recovered, she understood what had happened after he left. Of course, Zhong Ling'er did not say that she put the second senior brother into the round bead, but only said that she put it into the spirit beast bag in a hurry.
Ouyang Ruochen was speechless again and put the person into the spirit beast bag. This operation was unique, but she did save the person from the Demon Lord.
Zhong Ling'er moved the second senior brother out, and Ouyang Ruochen checked him. Although he had not woken up, his breathing was steady, so he should be fine. Only then did he feel relieved.
Then the two of them turned their eyes to Zhao Tianwen.
"What is that black thing, and why did it appear on Senior Brother Zhao's body?"
Ouyang Ruochen hesitated for a moment in response to the question from his junior sister, and finally decided to tell the truth. His junior sister was different from ordinary children, and she had already faced the Demon Lord. Hiding the truth from her would be harming her.
"Your second brother and I once fought against the Demon Lord. He planted a trace of demonic energy in your second brother's body, trying to lead him into the devil's trap. Fortunately, Master rescued him."
"This is a secret realm that only Jindan can enter. The Demon Lord cannot enter, so he can only separate a wisp of his demon soul and be brought in. I don't know when he controlled Junior Brother Zhao, and he almost let him take advantage of the opportunity."
Zhong Linger patted her chest in fear, but in fact she was muttering in her heart, it seems that the second senior brother did not die in the secret realm in the previous lives, but was taken away by the Demon Lord and became a demon. Taiqiong Sect said that he was dead but concealed the news. The demon king who was said to look like the second senior brother in the previous life was not just a lookalike, he was the second senior brother himself.
Ouyang Ruochen hesitated for a while, then solemnly warned: "The matter of the Demon Lord cannot be revealed. Just say that he was an accomplice of the black-robed man. As for Zhao Tianwen, he was also the one who killed him."
"Also, you must not let your second brother know that he has been in the spirit beast bag and stayed with those corpses. Remember, you must not do that."
Zhong Ling'er nodded obediently, "I understand, Second Senior Brother has mysophobia."
Ouyang Ruochen was speechless and touched the little sister's head. "Even if you don't have mysophobia, a normal person wouldn't want to know that he entered the bag of spirit beasts and stayed with a pile of monster corpses."
Zhong Ling'er didn't like what he said, "Big Brother, this person can't be so hypocritical just to survive. At the critical moment of life and death, he has to drink horse urine and eat cow dung. He has to be cowardly when he needs to be cowardly."
Ouyang Ruochen opened his mouth and finally said, "Little Junior Sister is right, but believe me, you don't want to see your Second Senior Brother go crazy, so be good and listen to your First Senior Brother."
Afterwards, Ouyang Ruochen collected the scattered stones on the ground and handed them to Zhong Ling'er again. Zhong Ling'er immediately had no objections and nodded obediently.
After dealing with the junior sister, Ouyang Ruochen woke up Ye Qinglan and Ning Haoyu, and told them that they were attacked, Zhao Tianwen was dead, Bai Luochen was injured, and he came back to drive the men away and save several people.
The two did not suspect anything, they were just sad about losing a fellow disciple.
Bai Luochen woke up in the night. The three young disciples had already fallen asleep. Ouyang Ruochen repeated Zhong Ling'er's words via voice transmission, but he put him into the spirit beast bag and covered it with stones instead.
Bai Luochen thought about it and felt that most things were correct, but there was one thing that was wrong.
There was originally a trace of demonic energy in his body. After being threatened, he had no choice but to let the demonic energy enter his body. In this situation, he had no choice but to become a demon. But now there is no demonic energy in his body at all.
There must be something here. Demonic energy is so difficult to get rid of. Once it touches you, it will be like a maggot attached to your bones. The Taiqiong Sect had to gather all its strength to suppress the demonic energy earlier. Someone must have used extraordinary means to remove all the demonic energy from his body?
He asked Ouyang Ruochen, but Ouyang Ruochen just shook his head and said he didn't know. Instead, he was happy that he could finally get rid of the control of the evil spirit.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Bai Luochen started asking about the body of the dead man in black robe. Zhong Ling'er "happened" to wake up, and when she heard his second senior brother looking for the body, she took it out of the spirit beast bag.
The two brothers looked at the little sister with strange eyes. Bai Luochen said tactfully: "Little sister, the elders of the Beast God Peak will not agree to feed the spirit beasts with human corpses, and the spirit beasts do not eat human corpses."
Zhong Ling'er suddenly felt as if she was struck by thunder. How could she, such a well-behaved and beautiful girl, become like this in the eyes of her senior brother?
"Second Brother, do you think it's possible that I just want to find out the truth and keep the evidence?"
Bai Luochen touched his nose and apologized, repeating silently three times that his junior sister was normal. Then he took off the mask of the corpse. An ordinary, young but pale face appeared. He had no impression of it at all and didn't recognize it at all.
However, Zhong Ling'er knew this person. He was a registered disciple of the fifth elder of the Lingjian Sect, named He Wei, and had once pursued the original owner.
"One of the three should be Cheng Xuan. Although he switched to a sword, he used the knife in an emergency. Is it possible that this is the work of the Tianyu Sect?"
Ouyang Ruochen expressed his guess, but Zhong Ling'er's focus was on another thing.
"When did the Demon Lord's demon soul appear? When we came here, I talked to Senior Brother Zhao. He didn't show any abnormality until I rushed out of the protective shield and saw him again. He seemed like a different person."
Bai Luochen thought for a while, "When I put up the protective shield, I didn't feel any demonic energy. Instead, after Senior Brother came over and took away a black-robed man, I suddenly felt pain in my heart. I guess I was affected by the Demon Lord at that time."
"Is it possible that the demon soul was brought in by three men in black robes, and they came here just for Second Senior Brother?"
Zhong Linger's words made the two men change their expressions. The three men in black robes all used spiritual energy, and one of them might be a direct disciple of Tianyu Sect. If they came in with demon souls, wouldn't it mean that Tianyu Sect might have colluded with the demon clan!
The matter was of great importance, so the two did not say any more. Bai Luochen smiled gently at Zhong Ling'er, "Thank you, Junior Sister. The Vajra Talisman you secretly applied saved Second Senior Brother's life."
No one could get close to him easily, except for his junior sister who liked to pull his sleeves. There was no doubt that the Vajra Talisman must have been secretly put there by his junior sister.
"No need to thank me. Although Second Senior Brother may dislike me occasionally, I always care about him in my heart."
Zhong Ling'er spoke with a look of grievance, which made Bai Luochen feel a little guilty.
