"Junior sister!" Wu Lin saw Yan Ying sitting by the lake from a distance.
Yan Ying turned around and saw Wu Lin jogging towards the lake.
"Second brother? What are you in such a hurry for?" Yan Ying looked at Wu Lin with a puzzled look on her face, holding a book in her hand.
Cen Ji lowered his eyes calmly.
"Have you seen the eldest brother? What happened? I haven't seen him for two days." Wu Lin said with a frown.
"Senior Brother? He... isn't in the sect?" Yan Ying has been guarding Cen Ji these days. Her master is not in the sect these days, so she doesn't have to go to morning training, so she has been following Cen Ji.
"No, Master isn't here either." Wu Lin waved his hand helplessly. "I asked Third Junior Brother, but he didn't know where they went either."
"It's fine that Master didn't tell us when he went down the mountain, but why did Senior Brother just leave without saying a word this time?" Wu Lin sat down naturally on the stone beside the two of them.
"Junior sister, they wouldn't go out to play without telling us, would they?"
"What fun can there be? It must be some hard work." Yan Ying said with a smile.
Cen Ji propped up one leg and looked at the book in Yan Ying's hand with a faint expression.
Leaving the sect...
Cang Jinglan and Mu Siyue are not in the sect either.
"That's hard to say... I heard Su Qing died a few days ago," Wu Lin said softly, lowering his voice. "The situation down there isn't peaceful right now. Master and Senior Brother, going down at this time..."
"Su Qinggang? The Su Qinggang from the Xuanting Immortal Sect in Fuzhou?" Yan Ying asked in disbelief.
"yes."
"He's dead? How did he die?" Yan Ying asked anxiously.
"I heard that someone dug out his spiritual roots and peeled off his skin. He died a miserable death." Wu Lin grinned and said with a look of discomfort on his face.
I really don’t know who did this. Although Su Qinggang was a bit brutal, he didn’t deserve to die so tragically.
"The spiritual roots were dug out..." Yan Ying glanced at Cen Ji.
Cen Ji was still looking at the book in her hand, his expression calm.
"Yes, the monsters in Fuzhou have disappeared, and the disciples of Xuanting Immortal Sect have been killed. These things...all point to the Demon Realm." Wu Lin sighed lightly.
"The Demon Realm...hasn't it always been a state of non-interference with the Nine Provinces and Eight Rivers? There's no reason for it to suddenly do these things, right?" Yan Ying said as she looked at Cen Ji.
"The Demon Realm is outside of the Nine Provinces and Eight Rivers. For so many years, the Demon Realm and the Nine Provinces have lived in peace, but in recent days, the Demon Realm seems to have made some moves." Wu Lin said softly.
The Demon Realm was too far away, and he didn't know what was happening there.
I just heard that the Demon Realm seems to have a new lord.
When the previous lord was in power, he never interfered in the affairs of Kyushu.
But now that the new Lord has just ascended the throne, the Xuanting Immortal Sect's disciples have had their spiritual roots dug out...
"Master, could it be that he left the sect just to deal with these things..." Yan Ying suddenly remembered a plot in the original book.
In the original book, Cang Jinglan brought Mu Siyue and others down the mountain. On the way back to the sect, they encountered an siege. The people who besieged them were the killers from the Demon Realm.
The killer was proficient in illusion, and Mu Siyue fell into the trap. When Cang Jinglan went to rescue her, Mu Siyue was already seriously injured...
That time, in order to save Mu Siyue, Cen Ji broke into the Guiyun Sect's Sutra Library and secretly took away a three thousand year old spiritual herb from the sect.
Stealing spiritual treasures without permission is a serious crime. Cen Ji should have had his spiritual roots pulled out and been expelled from the sect, but Cang Jinglan interceded for him and let Cen Ji be beaten with a hundred fire thunder whips instead.
After that incident, Cen Ji's body became very weak, and he never recovered until he left the sect and became a demon three years later.
That siege...could it be this time we go down the mountain?
In terms of timing, they can be considered to match.
Cen Ji's sixteenth birthday...is it the day when he will be punished with the fire and thunder whip?
"Cen Ji, has Junior Sister Mu also left the sect?" Yan Ying asked.
"Yeah." Cen Ji nodded.
When Cang Jinglan goes down the mountain, Mu Siyue will naturally follow him.
Yan Ying was confused. Cen Ji had connections with the Demon Realm, so why would the people from the Demon Realm surround and kill Mu Siyue?
What can she do to stop this from happening?
Cen Ji couldn't withstand a hundred fire thunder whips.
Besides, the system made her change the original book's plot and all the consequences that came with it...
[System: Host, please note that the plot is proceeding normally, and the countdown to Cen Ji's birthday is about to end.]
Yan Ying was shocked. How could it end?
The three of them sat by Mirror Lake when the path behind them suddenly became noisy.
“Hurry up, hurry up…”
"What's the rush? Didn't Master and Brother already go there?"
"Who on earth is so bold as to attack Master?"
Several disciples walking on the road were wearing light blue robes and had green gourds on their waists.
These are all disciples of Baicao Peak.
Yan Ying suddenly stood up from the ground. They just said that the master was attacked. Could it be...
Wu Lin and Cen Ji also heard what the Baicao Peak disciples said and stood up.
The three of them arrived at Sunset Peak together. As soon as they entered, they saw Ning Hai and Bai Huanzhi standing in the yard.
"Master, what happened?" Yan Ying ran to Ning Hai.
Ning Hai looked at the door helplessly and sighed softly. "We were ambushed on the way back to the mountain."
"Master, are you okay?" Wu Lin asked anxiously.
Ning Hai shook his head. "Mu Siyue was injured by them. I don't know how she's doing."
Yan Ying clenched her sleeves, but she was still a step too late...
Mu Siyue’s injury was a fact, and she now wanted to stop Cen Ji from getting the spiritual herbs.
But it was silent...
Cen Ji frowned and stared at the door with a cold expression.
He thought that Cang Jinglan was with Mu Siyue and her safety would not be threatened.
Who is...
"Master, who did this?" Wu Lin asked.
"Someone from the Demon Realm." Ning Hai snorted coldly.
Demon Realm hasn't been to Jiuzhou for many years, but has been coming here more frequently these days.
First they attacked Xuanting Immortal Sect, and now they are ambushing them at the foot of Guiyun Sect's mountain. Their intentions are really sinister.
Cen Ji's eyes grew even colder.
People from the Demon Realm...
The door was opened and Cang Jinglan walked out with a frown.
"Uncle-master, what happened?" Ning Hai stepped forward and asked.
Cang Jinglan shook his head. "The situation is not good. He is still unconscious."
"Don't worry, Elder Qu is a great doctor, nothing will happen." Ning Hai sighed.
It's strange to say, there are so many of them, but the killer from the Demon Realm chose to use illusions specifically on Mu Siyue. It's really weird.
Yan Ying quietly grabbed Cen Ji's fingers and looked up at him.
"It's okay." Yan Ying said softly.
Cen Ji nodded.
