"My Lord, your spiritual roots will recover in a few days. Congratulations, my Lord." Gui Ren bowed his head as he stood in front of Cen Ji.
Cen Ji looked at the palm of his hand. He had finally waited for this day. He was finally able to protect his sister. From now on, no one would bully him anymore.
"My Lord, you need to go back to the Demon Realm. Several lords in the Demon Realm have taken action recently. I'm afraid that if the Sect Master doesn't go back, Shayan Mountain will be in chaos." Guiren advised.
The Demon Realm has four territories: Sandy Mountain, Wusu, Night Frontier, and No Return City. Except for the No Return City where the Holy City is located, the other three places have three lords respectively.
When the old master was alive, they obeyed his orders and dared not disobey him. Since the old master passed away, they have all become ambitious.
The current situation in the Demon Realm is not optimistic.
The Demon Realm respects the strong, and the old lord fought his way out from the crowd. The Demon Realm was originally divided into pieces, and it was the old lord who unified the Demon Realm.
The people in the Demon Realm mainly rely on eating spiritual objects and absorbing the spiritual roots of others to practice, which is also despised by those people in the sects.
However, not everyone in the Demon Realm can absorb spiritual roots. Some people even die because they absorb spiritual roots that they cannot digest. The old master's spiritual roots and body are relatively special. He can absorb endless energy, which makes him the strongest person in the Demon Realm.
The spiritual roots of people in the Demon Realm are inherited, which means that Cen Ji has the same spiritual root attributes as the Old Lord, and he can also become the strongest in the Demon Realm like the Old Lord.
"My Lord, the old Lord's body has been preserved by my subordinates using the freezing technique. Once you absorb the old Lord's spiritual roots, no one in the Demon Realm will dare to disobey you." Ghost Blade bowed.
He has been following the old master since he was young and has never had any second thoughts. Now that the old master has passed away, he will devote himself to supporting the old master's son.
Cen Ji's expression didn't change at all. He had been wandering since he was young and had never thought that he would have a father.
Now he has a father, but his father is dead, and he wants to absorb his spiritual roots.
I don’t know if that person thought about his own flesh and blood when he died, whose spiritual roots he had destroyed and who he had abandoned.
"What's his name?" Cen Ji asked coldly.
"Rong Zhen." Gui Ren whispered. He knew that Cen Ji was asking for the old master's name.
Cen Ji smiled. Even his name sounded poisonous.
He chose this name himself because he remembered that when he was a child, he was afraid of the cold at night and hid in a broken bamboo basket. That night, it was so cold that even the barking of dogs could not be heard.
His life was just like that silent night, lonely, desolate and helpless.
"I understand. Let's prepare for the trip after tonight." Cen Ji nodded silently.
Ghost Blade nodded, and there were knocks on the door. Ghost Blade disappeared and left.
"Aji, are you there?"
Cen Ji originally thought it was Yan Ying, she always came in by herself, so he didn't plan to open the door, but he didn't expect to hear Mu Siyue's voice.
Cen Ji walked quickly to the door and opened it.
"Sister, how come you have time to come and see me?" Cen Ji smiled and pulled Mu Siyue into the door.
"I just came here after morning training." Mu Siyue smiled and sat on the chair.
"Aji, is anyone bothering you again?" Mu Siyue asked softly.
Cen Ji thought Mu Siyue was talking about Yan Ying, and then remembered the changes in Yan Ying in recent days, and smiled and shook his head. "No, sister, don't worry about me."
"That's good." Mu Siyue's tone softened as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. "Bringing you to the sect has really put you through a lot. I didn't expect to offend someone."
"Aji, do you blame your sister?"
Cen Ji shook his head. "What are you talking about, sister? Why would Ah Ji blame you?"
"It's my sister who doesn't have the ability to protect you, and I don't have the trust of the master. I have thought a lot these days, but I still can't think of a good way to protect you." Mu Siyue frowned and looked at Cen Ji with watery eyes.
"Sister, I'm really fine. You don't have to worry about me." Cen Ji looked at Mu Siyue guiltily. After all, it was he who caused trouble for his sister.
He must not let his sister worry about him again in the future.
"Master is now close to Yan Ying. I... I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in this sect for long. After all, she is the sect master's personal disciple. I'm just an insignificant person in this sect. I don't want to argue with her. Even if I do, it's useless." Mu Siyue said softly.
Cen Ji felt puzzled when he heard Mu Siyue's words. What did Yan Ying do to make her sister like this?
But she is not Yan Ying, she is just a person who replaced Yan Ying, and she will not go against her sister.
No matter what Yan Ying did, when he returned to the Demon Realm and took the throne of the Lord, he would take her sister away, and she would not have to worry about these things.
"Sister, Yan Ying..." Cen Ji wanted to tell Mu Siyue that Yan Ying had been replaced by someone else, but he didn't know how to start. This was too strange, and she was afraid she wouldn't believe it.
Besides, Yan Ying was a little special to him, and he could feel that Yan Ying was now wholeheartedly treating him well.
"Aji, you suffered so many injuries before. I told the master about it, and he was able to tell the sect leader to let Yan Ying be more restrained. Now that Yan Ying has gone to Sunset Peak, I'm afraid the master will favor her in the future. I'm worried about you." Mu Siyue looked at Cen Ji with tears in her eyes.
"Aji, why don't you leave Guiyun Sect? I can't protect you, and I don't want to see you suffer. I'm fine on my own, and it's okay for you to go down the mountain and find a job." Mu Siyue grabbed Cen Ji's hand and said softly.
