Chapter 41: Sixiang City (Thirteen) It turns out to be Aying’s Jade
Lord!
It’s the master!
Because the demon failed to take over the demon's body, it suffered a severe backlash and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"What's going on?" Yao Qin approached him and placed one hand on his back, infusing him with demonic power to heal his internal injuries.
"Yes, Lord..." He couldn't pronounce the word "Jun" at the end.
When his master drove him out, he issued a gag order, not allowing him to reveal his relationship with Zhu Ciying.
After the big demon calmed down, he thought carefully. His master was seriously injured by the nameless swordsman back then, and his mind must have been unstable. It was a miracle that he was able to survive in Zhu Ciying's body.
If he revealed the secret that the master had hidden from her, the master and she would definitely be hunted down and strangled by the cultivation world.
Wouldn't their plan be ruined then?
No. He couldn't say it.
Yao Qin can't, and no one can.
He made up an excuse: "After all, she is a disciple of a large sect. How can the elders of the inner sect not protect her?"
Yao Qin had no reason to doubt the elders' responsibility.
Seeing her nod, the demon pushed her away and said, "You only have some medical skills, but you're not good at fighting. The master's resurrection cannot go wrong. Take those offerings and leave!"
Yao Qin was a demon doctor, she was used to seeing life and death every day, and she valued her life very much. Without any hesitation, she left him and turned away.
The big demon sighed deeply in his heart, and for some reason, the scene of him taking over Yan Chengyun's body and meeting Yao Taotao emerged in his mind.
She knew the demon cave was dangerous, yet she still chose to bring people in to rescue Yan Chengyun. At that time, she lay in his arms, her tears soaking his clothes. She was clearly trembling with fear, but she still forced a smile and said to him, "Yan Chengyun, I'm here to save you. Let's go home, okay..."
He admitted that when he and Yao Taotao first got along, he shamelessly coveted the warmth that Yao Taotao brought that did not belong to him.
If he were not a demon and did not have the mission to help his master revive, he might have lied to Yao Taotao and pretended to be Yan Chengyun for his entire life.
He closed his eyes and released all the demonic power that had been condensed in his palms for a long time. Like a hunter who had planned for a long time, he stared at the prey opposite him.
"Scatter!"
Yun Bujin grabbed Xu Shuguan and quickly retreated.
Qu Wanqing and Xu Feihuai looked at each other and stepped back to the sides.
The evil spirit was so close that Zhou Mingran tried to pull Zhu Ciying away, but Zhu Ciying, who had regained her senses, used her spiritual power to push her away.
Zhou Mingran missed the opportunity: "Junior sister!"
Oh no! It was too late for the demon to reclaim its energy.
The murderous demonic aura was less than half a finger away from Zhu Ciying's eyes and was stopped by a wooden branch.
With a slight pull of the wooden branch, the evil spirit exploded like foam, leaving no residue.
"The period of transcending tribulation?"
"You are bullying my Nascent Soul stage junior sister so blatantly. Do you think there is no one behind her?"
Although Xie Rangchen was speaking to the Great Demon, he didn't even glance at him. His gaze remained gently fixed on Zhu Ciying.
Zhu Ciying, whose eyes were protected by spiritual power, blinked at him and called out uncertainly, "Senior Brother?"
Xie Rangchen smiled, the two red moles under his eyes becoming more prominent: "It's only been half a day since I last saw you, are you so confused?"
Zhu Ciying smiled and shook her head: "I can't forget it."
"No, it's impossible! This is an independent space I created. You can't find it here!"
Who on earth was this person? How could he break his evil spirit with just a stick?
The big demon is confident in his own strength. No matter how bad he is, he is not inferior to the cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage!
How could it be so easily defeated by Zhu Ciying's senior brother who appeared out of nowhere?
The long-lost feeling of fear returned, and he took a half step back silently, the alarm in his heart tensed to the extreme.
"Your clothes are dirty." Xie Rangchen sighed silently, with a hint of doting in his words that he himself didn't even notice. He cast a spell to help Zhu Ciying clean the blood off her clothes.
Zhu Ciying: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Hey... When did Junior Sister Yingying and Senior Brother Jiang become so close?" Qu Wanqing lowered his voice and gave a meaningful look to the people around him, reminding them to pay attention.
Yun Bujin whispered, "Actually, I always felt that the atmosphere between them was very special. It was deeper and more special than the feelings between ordinary brothers and sisters. Sometimes, it gave me a feeling of intimacy that couldn't accommodate a third person between them. Do you understand?"
Xu Shuguan had just met Zhu Ciying and the others and didn't know much about them. He murmured, "So they're so close?"
Zhou Mingran: "Huh?!"
She was like a cat with its fur standing on end: "This isn't right. I'm the dear senior sister who grew up with Yingying! She and I are the best in the world! Not even Junior Brother Jiang can surpass me!"
Everyone looked at Xu Feihuai and asked in unison: "Junior brother, what do you say?"
Xu Feihuai: "..." Can I not say it?
A cultivator's hearing is far superior to that of an ordinary person. Zhu Ciying heard their whispers clearly and shrugged helplessly: "Brother, they were just joking."
"I know." Xie Rangchen poured spiritual energy from his fingertips into the branch and paused, "But Junior Sister, I really want to be a good senior brother to you and maintain our fellow disciples' friendship."
Eh?
Zhu Ciying was slightly surprised.
So, Senior Brother, you've always wanted to have a good relationship with me?
Xie Rangchen turned sideways, glanced up and down at the big demon, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You just rely on your longevity to bully her because she is young."
Was this a subtle insult to him, calling him a bastard? The demon was so angry he couldn't vent it, a mouthful of blood choking in his throat.
"Then there's no need to worry about fairness."
Xie Rangchen raised his hand, and the wooden branch drew a half circle in the air, hanging down at his side: "Junior sister, invite the moon sixteen swords."
Zhu Ciying was stunned for a moment, then he grasped his sword and started to move: "First move, meeting a beautiful woman under the moon."
Two blue figures erupted with vigorous spiritual energy, merging together to form a vortex. Qu Wanqing and the others stared wide-eyed, barely able to make out their shadows.
Zhu Ciying turned around and raised her wrist, her sleeves fluttering towards the red jade belt around Xie Rangchen's waist. The red and blue colors intersected and collided, just like two lovers in love kissing passionately, and then reluctantly parted after a long time.
With a humming sound, Yansheng arrived in front of the big demon in the blink of an eye. He was no pushover either. His cultivation level was comparable to that of a cultivator in the tribulation period, allowing his body to react quickly.
He dodged Zhu Ciying's sword, but was not so lucky to avoid Xie Rangchen's branch.
The branch scratched across his eyes, and a fishy and hot liquid gushed out. The big demon covered his empty eye sockets, and the anger in his heart was instantly swallowed up by fear.
He realized an indisputable fact: he would really die at the hands of Xie Rangchen.
He wanted to run, but he took a step back and an invisible barrier was installed on his back.
field?
How could he use the field!
This is not a spiritual skill that a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage should master!
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am." Xie Rangchen's branch stopped an inch from his throat. "You just need to know that you died at the hands of my junior sister's sword."
The belated pain forced the demon to lower his head. He looked at his heart pierced by the sword, and blood kept flowing out of the corner of his mouth.
Zhu Ciying drew out the sword, and Yansheng automatically sucked the demon blood from the sword, happily making a few buzzing sounds, which Zhu Ciying collected into the jade flute.
As the great demon's body collapsed, Xie Rangchen moved his fingertips slightly, and like parting the clouds, a woman's figure emerged from the corner. "I forgot to tell you, your companions didn't escape at all."
"you……!"
"Run!" the big monster roared in pain.
"Run? Where can I run to?" Yao Qin couldn't move a finger.
Seeing this, the big demon knew that everything was over and the plan of reviving the master would most likely fail. However, when mentioning the master, he remembered an unspeakable secret.
So, before he died, he revealed one last, extremely malicious smile: "Haha, no matter how good our relationship is, what does it matter? Let's see how long you can protect her! One day, you will draw your swords against each other..."
"That day will never come, Junior Sister." Xie Rangchen said.
Zhu Ciying: “…Yeah.”
She hadn't asked anything, so why was her senior brother so anxious to clarify his position? It seemed that he really wanted to establish a good relationship with her.
"Senior sister, senior brother, it's getting late. Let's split up and look for the girls they kidnapped."
Xu Shuguan immediately called out to her, "Wait a minute, Junior Sister. Looking for someone aimlessly like this will only waste our time. I have a solution."
She raised her hand, released her spiritual sense, and searched for something in all directions without any blind spots.
"Found it."
"Bang--" A red stone flew out from the wall behind Zhu Ciying. When she saw the thing clearly with her peripheral vision, the leg that had just taken a step suddenly froze in place without warning.
Her reaction caused Xie Rangchen to devote some attention to the object in Xu Shuguan's hand - a leaf-shaped red jade stone.
So, he also froze in place.
The red jade looked very familiar to him. If he remembered correctly, it was the jade that Aying once wore around her neck.
Three hundred years ago, when Ah Ying died, he found her jade and, while collecting her soul, waited to return the jade to its original owner. However, unexpectedly, a time-space confusion caused an accident, and his soul traveled three hundred years into the future, while Hongyu disappeared.
I didn't expect to encounter it here.
"Twenty years ago, my mother came across this red jade and later gave it to me," Xu Shuguan said. "From what she knew, the red jade had an extraordinary origin. It was a rare divine object in the Three Realms, with the ability to control space and time."
The questions that had puzzled Xie Rangchen for a long time suddenly became clear, and he finally understood why he came to the world three hundred years later.
It turned out to be Aying's jade.
"Since this is a space created by the great demon, it certainly doesn't want anyone to discover the girls' whereabouts. It would be a waste of effort for us to search for them."
"Wait until I use the red jade to break the space restriction..."
"Why?"
Hongyu suddenly escaped from Xu Shuguan's palm and bumped into Zhu Ciying's arms.
Xu Shuguan was stunned: "It, it recognized its master!"
Acknowledge that Zhu Ciying is the master.
Zhu Ciying's fingertips gently stroked Hongyu, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and she forced herself to suppress the sourness in her nose.
Crimson jade.
——The relic left to her by her mother in her previous life.
It is the most precious thing in her two lives combined.
It is so difficult to get it back now.
Zhu Ciying tightly grasped the crimson jade and said with a smile in her eyes, "My fellow brothers and sisters, let's act quickly. The girls are still waiting to go home."
"good!"
"no problem!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
…
At dawn, a group of people appeared at the gate of Sixiang City, causing an uproar.
All the surviving girls who were abducted as sacrifices by the big monster outside the city were rescued by monks from the big sects!
Yun Bujin, Zhou Mingran, and Qu Wanqing were responsible for ensuring the girls returned home safely.
Xu Feihuai carried Ji Feibai back to Taoyuan Residence, and Xu Shuguan called a spiritual doctor to remove the poison for him.
Xie Rangchen, without telling Yan Chengyun, went to the City Lord's Mansion with Zhu Ciying to see Yao Taotao.
Yao Taotao was waiting outside the gate. When she saw them, she ran over with her skirt lifted up.
"Yan Chengyun! Yan Chengyun!"
Yao Taotao found that she couldn't wake him up, and tears fell down: "Husband, husband, husband..."
"Ahem." The seriously injured and unconscious man suddenly opened one eye and said weakly, "Madam, even if I'm not dead, you're almost shaking me to death..."
In response, Yao Taotao slapped him crisply. Yan Chengyun smiled with his white teeth showing, with five finger marks on his left cheek, and asked caringly: "Madam, does your hand hurt? Remember to apply medicine later."
Is this how they get along?
Zhu Ciying and Xie Rangchen communicated secretly.
Xie Rangchen thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's just a hobby between them."
