Three levels
Wenren also slowly woke up.
As his vision gradually became clearer, he saw his own hands stained with dried blood.
The blood had coagulated into black and was clogged in his fingernails. It seemed that a long time had passed since he killed someone.
For a moment, he seemed to be back to five years ago.
Wenren couldn't help but save his head and tried to regain his sanity.
He only remembered being provoked by those five people.
He was filled with rage and was controlled by the old demon.
I have no recollection of what happened afterwards.
It now seems that the five people are in great danger.
But where is this?
Wenren also looked around blankly.
He was lying in a corridor.
On the left is a stone gate engraved with intricate patterns, and on the right is a corridor, but it is unknown where it leads to.
Wenren Yi stood up with the help of the wall and staggered towards the stone gate.
A restriction bounced him back.
He was not mistaken. When the restriction took effect, what overflowed was clearly demonic energy.
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Brother Wen, you're awake."
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Renyi's heart felt a little relieved.
I turned around and saw Jiang Ruoshui.
She came out of the darkness and became real when she appeared before my eyes.
But Wenren also felt that the person in front of him did not look like Jiang Ruoshui.
"Junior Sister Jiang, where is this?" Wen Renyi murmured.
Jiang Ruoshui smiled, but instead of answering, he started talking about something else. "Senior Brother Wen, do you still remember how we got together five years ago and how we broke into the old demon's cave?"
Wenren certainly remembers it.
Five years ago, he had acted alone, intending to find the inheritance of a powerful being in order to escape from the group of people in Canghai Sect who bullied him.
Who would have thought that they had been following him secretly and stabbed Wen Renyi in the back when he was facing the monster, and he almost lost his life.
It was Jiang Ruoshui who appeared and saved him in the critical moment. She was the daughter of the clan leader, and with just one word, she made the most arrogant disciples of the Gong, Ling, and Jiang families stop.
He wanted to leave, but the gang wouldn't let him. Jiang Ruoshui said she would protect him, and Wenren believed her.
Later, someone discovered a secret passage. Jiang Ruoshui suggested that everyone go in together, as perhaps the inheritance of a powerful being was inside.
They encountered many terrifying monsters in the secret passage.
At that time, Wenren Yi had only reached the level of a half-step grandmaster. Many times, those so-called "fellow disciples" wanted to feed him to monsters just to clear the way.
It was Jiang Ruoshui who stopped them.
Jiang Ruoshui put his hands behind his back and walked up to Wen Renyi. "Senior Brother Wen, have you ever thought about why you are bullied when there are so many disciples in Canghai Sect?"
Wenren was also stunned.
He knew why, and there was a hint of bitterness in his throat when he said it, "Because I come from a humble background."
Jiang Ruoshui shook her head. "There are people with even more humble origins than you. Why you?"
Wenren also smiled bitterly, "They are targeting me, what does it have to do with me?"
Jiang Ruoshui blinked, "Why is it none of your business? Didn't they warn you many times not to get close to me? With your status, even if I'm kind enough to give you alms, you shouldn't keep it to yourself, right?"
Wen Renyi was slightly startled, "You...how do you know?"
Jiang Ruoshui was not there when he was bullied by others. Even if she came, she only came to ask about his well-being and heal his wounds after he was injured.
She wasn't supposed to know what was going on.
unless……
"They all told me that you were of humble origin and shouldn't even know me, let alone talk to me. But I insisted on being nice to you. I wanted everyone to think I favored you. That way, everyone would be very angry, but they didn't dare let the Sect Master know, so they secretly tried to trip you up."
Jiang Ruoshui's fingers slowly hooked the hair, her tone light and casual, as if she was talking about something very ordinary, "I know they bully you, but my goal is to let everyone bully you. Otherwise, why would you be so anxious to find the inheritance of the powerful?"
Wenren also took a step back, his eyes full of disbelief, "Why did you do this?"
"Brother, have you forgotten? When we first met, you looked down on me so much that you said to my face, 'Jiang's daughter is also a filthy person.' Do you think I would forget?"
Jiang Ruoshui's eyes curved with laughter. "Besides, it's so much fun to beat a drowning dog with a stick. Didn't Senior Brother feel very happy when he threw Zhao Ming into the cold pond?"
Wenren also felt the cold air rushing up from the soles of his feet, as if he was in an ice cellar.
The old demon Tianji laughed wildly in his mind: "Hehehe, I like this girl, she must be someone from my demonic sect!"
"Shut up." Jiang Ruoshui seemed to be able to hear the voice of the old demon Tianji. He frowned in disgust, then relaxed his brows. "Let me tell you, five years ago, I deliberately let everyone target you. I was the one who told them that you had bad intentions towards me, and it's the same now."
Wen Renyi thought of the others' strange attitude after he returned to the team from the cold pond. "Are you using your old tricks again? Did you throw the sachet... on purpose?"
"Of course, Brother, you must be very excited when you see that sachet." Jiang Ruoshui smiled with her hands covering her lips, her eyes full of disgust. "Do you really think that I, the daughter of the Sect Master, would be interested in a poor boy like you? Even if you are a genius, how can anyone value you as much as they do Junior Brother Xiao? In Canghai Sect, you can only be a menial disciple for the rest of your life."
A lifelong menial disciple.
A surge of anger rushed into his head, and Wen Renyi clenched his fists unconsciously.
But it was obvious that the old demon Tianji did not intend to let him kill Jiang Ruoshui, and actually suppressed his ability to mobilize the black crystal.
"Hehehe, kid, don't get excited. Haven't you been refusing to see anyone these past five years because you're afraid of being controlled by me? Don't forget, the more excited you are, the higher the chances of the Demon Ancestor's success in taking over your body! Hehehe!"
Jiang Ruoshui raised her hand and patted Wen Renyi's face.
"Brother, this is all you will live for in this life. From now on, you can make wedding clothes for my husband."
After saying that, she changed the subject and said, "Old Demon Tianji, you failed to take over my body five years ago. You won't fail again this time, right?"
Wenren also felt his consciousness being dragged deep into his body.
But he could still feel the outside world, hear it, and see it.
"It's so comfortable to be back home." The old demon Tianji stretched his arms and said, "Little girl, you are so cruel and ruthless, why don't you join my demon path?"
"Not interested."
"What a pity." Tianji Old Demon shrugged. "Don't worry, although I am a demon, I am trustworthy. You helped me, so I won't kill you now. But..."
Jiang Ruoshui spoke even faster, "But after this incident, whether you will be killed by the righteous people of my Canghai Sect is another matter."
"Okay, that's great!"
The two walked out of the corridor and saw the altar in front of them.
The old demon Tianji frowned as he looked at the demon tree and waved his hand, "Where are Cui Fu and Yuan Hua?"
Two skeletons flew over in response, "Meet the Demon Ancestor!"
All that was left of both of them was a skull and a pair of hands.
The old demon Tianji was horrified and asked, "What's going on with you?"
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua exchanged a glance and said, "Your Majesty, we were bored and started sparring with each other, but we accidentally injured each other."
The old demon Tianji thought of the pile of mysterious bones in the corridor and asked, "Shall we exchange ideas?"
The two smiled awkwardly, "Demon Ancestor, we've been showing you this door for five hundred years. It's been so long since any cultivators have come in, it's getting a bit boring..."
The old demon Tianji stared at them for a long while, then chuckled and his expression brightened. "I see. When the Demon Ancestor is reborn, I will definitely make two new bodies for you so we can have a good 'sparring match'."
The two of them couldn't help but shudder.
Anyone who believes him is a pig.
The old demon Tianji walked around the two of them, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Cui Fu. "What's that smell?"
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua looked at each other.
Oh no, hot pot!
Jiang Ruoshui was getting impatient and said, "Hurry up."
She calculated the time accurately, and if there was any mistake, it would be troublesome.
The old demon Tianji cursed in his heart: If I were not the Demon Ancestor and I had not yet recovered my cultivation, how could I be ordered around by a little girl like you!
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and strode towards the altar.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Cui Fu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his skeleton hand, and quietly drew a water mirror.
In the hole in the ice, Ruan Zhaozhao sucked the vermicelli into his mouth, his eyes never leaving the water mirror.
The picture appeared, and it was Wen Renyi, who was possessed by the old demon Tianji, standing under the magic tree.
"System, will he find out it's fake?"
System: "Host, please trust what the system produces."
The system said that the task details have been updated. The old demon has already controlled Wen Renyi. After bringing him back and completing the ritual, he will be able to completely take over his body.
But it didn't say that there was an older sister following.
The old demon Tianji stood still at the highest level and looked up at the magic fruit.
The magic fruit was grown to be dark red and smooth enough to reflect light.
The old demon Tianji nodded with satisfaction, admired it for a while, and then reached out and grabbed it.
The moment the magic fruit touched his fingertips, the old demon felt something was strange.
But the feeling was fleeting. Without thinking much about it, he tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide, and stuffed the magic fruit into his mouth.
The huge magic fruit instantly turned into black water and slid into his throat.
"Hehehe! The Demon Ancestor's cultivation is back!"
The old demon Tianji opened his arms and laughed wildly. He turned around and shouted in a voice that could echo throughout the underground palace, "Submit to the old demon Tianji, you foolish monks!"
The two skulls beside him suddenly kowtowed vigorously, "The Demon Ancestor is mighty, long live the Demon Ancestor!"
Jiang Ruoshui's expression was a little subtle.
While Yu Xiaoye was scalding Ruan Zhaozhao's meat, he looked at the water mirror and suddenly realized, "So they both knelt so quickly because they are always like this."
Ruan Zhaozhao was a little disgusted at first, but then he thought of the group of villains who worshipped his father every day. Wasn’t it the same?
Instantly, she felt that the child was teachable. "Very good, you can use it as soon as you get it."
The old demon Tianji soon discovered something was wrong.
After swallowing the magic fruit, I didn't feel my body was filled with magic energy.
Wenren also felt the same.
He was prepared to be torn to pieces, but he did not experience the pain of being overwhelmed by the evil spirit as he had expected.
What's going on?
Jiang Ruoshui said, "Old Demon Tianji, is it okay to eat this fruit?"
The old demon Tianji hesitated, "No, no, how..."
Cui Fu beside him interrupted, "Master, if the Demon Ancestor wants to successfully possess the body, he still needs to pass two more levels."
Jiang Ruoshui admired his understanding of the situation and asked, "Then what are you waiting for?"
The old demon Tianji calmed down. Maybe it would take some time to digest the magic fruit after eating it... right?
No matter what, go get the Flame Bone first.
He was born with flaming bones. It was his innate, irreplaceable gift! Could there be...something wrong with it?
The old demon Tianji walked towards the lava pool.
Cui Fu and Yuan Hua had become servile to the extreme and set off at the same time as the old demon.
Jiang Ruoshui deliberately walked a few steps slower.
She was smiling and humming a cheerful little tune, a light and joyful sight no one had ever seen.
Following the three people to the lava pool, Jiang Ruoshui stood in the distance, arms folded, watching the old demon Tianji fly up and land on the stone platform.
He couldn't wait to open the coffin, breathed a sigh of relief visibly, and began to roar arrogantly again.
Everything seems to be going well.
Jiang Ruoshui raised his hand, drew something in the air, and tapped lightly.
She seemed to be able to hear the "ding ding ding" sound of performance results in her ears and the "hua hua hua" sound of bonuses falling from the sky.
It is the most intoxicating sound in the world.
But Jiang Ruoshui's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
A transparent screen that only she could see was floating in the air.
