"Okay, I'll remember that." Cen Ji nodded. "Is there anything else, Senior Sister?"
"That's all." Shangguan Hong turned to leave, then returned and threw a book to Cen Ji. "This one records everything."
After Shangguan Hong left, Cen Ji heard whispers on the roadside before he even opened the book Shangguan Hong gave him.
"He's the new disciple. I heard he has a single spiritual root."
"Mu Siyue from Sunset Peak has a complicated relationship with him. How could he, with only a single spiritual root, have been an outer sect disciple for so long?"
"There's also the sect leader's last disciple, whom he often tries to curry favor with. The two of them have a very close relationship."
"Tsk, could it be that even his spiritual roots were faked, and he relied on currying favor with women to enter the sect? I don't think Yan Ying is a serious person either, tsk tsk..."
There was anger in Cen Ji's eyes, and he secretly exerted force on the hand holding the book.
When the gossiping disciple saw that he was discovered by Cen Ji, he looked up at Cen Ji provocatively, not taking him seriously at all.
Cen Ji's eyes were cold, and black mist emanated from his hands.
"Cen Ji!" Yan Ying appeared out of nowhere and patted Cen Ji's shoulder with a smile.
"Look what I said, isn't it coming now?"
"Go quickly before she hears you."
As the two disciples turned around, Yan Ying threw an electric ball at them, which scorched their lower body clothes.
"you!"
"People with bad hearts think everything is dirty. I'm talking about you two. He is my friend. If you dare to say such gossip again, I'll pull out your tongues!" Yan Ying had just heard what they said.
If she wasn't afraid that Cen Ji's actions would expose his possessed identity, she wouldn't have let these two people off so easily.
The two disciples were frightened by Yan Ying and quickly ran away.
"Am I your friend?" Cen Ji asked Yan Ying while looking down at her.
Is he just her friend? Doesn't she like him?
He was not angry just now because those two people said that they had a close relationship. Even if they said that he was trying to curry favor with her, he was very willing to have a close relationship with her.
"What's wrong?" Yan Ying didn't notice the unhappiness in Cen Ji's eyes. "These people just like to gossip. Don't take it to heart. Just treat it as a dog barking."
"Little boy, if I want to leave the sect, are you willing to leave with me?" Cen Ji suddenly looked at Yan Ying seriously and asked.
Yan Ying was stunned for a moment. "Where are we going? To the Demon Realm?"
Cen Ji nodded. The little ghost knew that he had dealings with the Demon Realm, but she didn't know his identity in the Demon Realm yet.
If she was willing to leave with him, he would take her away after the Wusu issue was resolved.
"Then will we come back?" Yan Ying asked, looking at Cen Ji's expression.
She was reluctant to leave. Her master and friends were here, and she was reluctant to leave.
But Cen Ji is her main task. She must stay by Cen Ji's side and increase his favorability enough within three years.
"You can come back." Cen Ji said softly.
He would come back with her.
"You still refuse to tell me what your connection is with the Demon Realm, but now you want me to go to the Demon Realm with you?"
"It's not the right time yet. When the time comes, I will tell you everything." Cen Ji said helplessly. He didn't tell her his identity because he didn't want her to be in danger.
The people in the sect hated the Demon Realm the most. Outside the Demon Realm, his identity was very dangerous.
"Also, I don't know anyone from the Demon Realm, and I'm in an unfamiliar place..."
"I'm here. I won't let you be alone." Cen Ji promised.
Yan Ying said nothing, raised her eyes and looked at Cen Ji. She didn't dare to entrust her future to him yet.
Cen Ji could easily see Yan Ying's concerns from her eyes, so he decided to stay with her in Guiyun Sect for a while.
......
Guiyun Sect, main hall.
"Are there any traces of the monsters in Fuzhou?" Cang Jinglan asked with a frown.
"No, there is no trace at all. It's really abnormal." Ning Hai shook his head.
"Back then, a ten-thousand-year-old demon beast was sealed in the back mountains. It was incredibly ferocious, coming and going without a trace." Cang Jinglan's eyes darkened. "Ever since that demon beast escaped Master's seal, there has been no news of it."
"Uncle Master, are you saying that the disappearance of the monsters in Fuzhou is related to that ten thousand year old monster?" Ning Hai's face was solemn. If this was true, then it would be difficult to deal with.
That ten thousand year old demon beast, it took the combined efforts of the five major sects to subdue it. If it did this time...
I guess it has survived the thunder tribulation, and its demonic power is even stronger than before.
"Master expended half his life's cultivation to seal that demon beast, yet he never expected it to escape."
That monster almost destroyed Jiuzhou back then.
"We have no clue about the monster for now. Uncle Master, there is one more thing." Ning Hai said in a deep voice.
"When they were in Fuzhou, Ying'er and the others had a disagreement with the disciples of Xuanting Immortal Sect."
"Xuan Ting Xianmen sent someone to deliver a letter yesterday."
"The letter said that several disciples of Xuanting Xianmen who went to Fuzhou were all dead. I don't know who killed them."
"Dead?" Cang Jinglan asked doubtfully, tilting his head.
"Yes, the method is very cruel." Ning Hai sighed.
"The letter only says that he was killed by someone, doesn't it mention anything else?" Cang Jinglan said in a deep voice.
"No."
Cang Jinglan frowned. This was not like the style of Xuanting Immortal Sect.
According to common sense, when the disciples of Xuanting Xianmen who went to Fuzhou died, Liao Yunting should first think of the people who had conflicts with them, and then take revenge on them instead of writing letters to them.
"There is only one possibility. Liao Yunting couldn't take revenge on the person who killed his disciple, so he wanted to put the blame on Guiyun Sect." Cang Jinglan said lightly.
"No revenge?"
"The one person Xuan Ting Xianmen cannot avenge is either Yuan Huizong or... the Demon Realm."
