He was already severely injured and struggling to cope with Qinghan's inner demons. Why force him to transfer his cultivation? He should know that if Qinghan doesn't comprehend the advancement beyond the Nascent Soul stage, the forced increase in cultivation will not benefit him much and will only make him more injured.
Rong Yu said, "What he wants is serious injury."
"What?"
Geng Qi turned his head and suddenly understood, his expression immediately becoming strange.
So it turns out Qinghan is still soft-hearted and completely under his thumb!
Just as they were about to leave the underworld, a servant suddenly transmitted a message from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Protector Mei has returned to the palace and says that the investigation was carried out by the Lan Gu Sect."
Arashiyama Gate?
Geng Qi glanced at Rong Yu. The two understood each other perfectly and left the dark chamber together without saying a word. After leaving, Geng Qi went straight to where Leng Ning Shuang was cultivating.
Butterflies love flowers. Where Leng Ningshuang lives or cultivates, there are always various flowers. The Demon Palace is different from the mortal world, where flowers bloom according to the seasons. The flowers that grow here bloom all year round, with bright colors. The flower fields are full of spiritual energy, and colorful butterflies fly around them. The beautiful scene, although not as enchanting as the ethereal spiritual mist of Shangxu Peak, is still simple and genuine, making people feel refreshed.
When Geng Qi brought the wine over, he didn't see the red figure. So he found a place to sit down, placed the wine jar on the stone platform in front of him, and put two exquisite wine cups on it. He waited calmly for the person to come.
In a short while, a colorful butterfly fluttered over and landed on the edge of the wine jar. Its antennae swayed before it transformed into human form and appeared in front of Geng Qi. It glanced at him and said, "So you know how to offer me wine as a sign of respect?"
"Of course! It's freshly brewed!"
Geng Qi deftly filled two cups and handed one over.
In stark contrast to his teetotaling nature, Leng Ning Shuang was extremely fond of drinking, but she was picky about her drinks, only drinking honey-infused wine, with osmanthus-infused wine being her favorite.
Seeing that he had poured two glasses, Leng Ning Shuang asked suspiciously, "Can you drink?"
Geng Qi said, "It would be good to smell it too!"
"..."
"Sister Mei, isn't your favorite osmanthus wine because of its fragrance?"
Leng Ningshuang paused, her hand holding the teacup still. She remained silent for a long while without offering any rebuttal, then asked herself, "How long has that person been back?"
Geng Qi said, "He came back after half an hour, stayed for a few hours, and then went out again."
After all, he couldn't afford to arouse suspicion; he had to come back and "show his face" eventually.
"And you? What have you found out? What's the story behind the Lan Gu Gate?"
He couldn't resist bringing the glass to his lips and taking a small sip. The taste was mellow, slightly spicy, and a little bitter, which made him grimace.
Leng Ningshuang pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that you once encountered someone in Yandan Sect who extracted souls and swapped bodies?"
Geng Qi: "I have encountered it, but the soul was not swapped."
Rong Yu once told him that Yan Dan Sect Master Yan Zhihe killed people to steal souls in order to find a better body for himself to start over, but the plan was thwarted before it could succeed.
Why are you asking this?
Leng Ningshuang lowered her eyes slightly, took a sip of osmanthus wine, and looked up to say, "I didn't see Mu Shan. I followed that person out of the Demon Palace. He did come into contact with people from the righteous sects. I followed him all the way to the Lan Valley Gate, where I saw Mu Shan's soul."
"Soul?" Geng Qi's pupils constricted slightly.
There are only two possibilities for the soul to leave the body: one is that the self-consciousness leaves the body to cultivate, and the other is that the physical body dies, in which case the soul may leave the physical body!
Seeing that he looked unwell, Leng Ning Shuang said, "Don't be nervous, he's fine for now. It's just that his soul is trapped and he can't get out for the time being."
"Then I..."
“He didn’t ask you to save him. There are still some things that haven’t been investigated yet, so it’s not wise to alert him. Besides, his soul is separated from his body, and even he doesn’t know where his body went. It would be useless for you to bring back his soul.”
Even if it's a threat, persecuting the Demon Realm Protector Lan Gu Sect means they can't escape death, so they certainly won't easily hand over Mu Shan's physical body!
If she wanted to save someone, she would have done so as soon as she saw Kiyama.
Just as Geng Qi was about to get angry, he suddenly thought of something and frowned, saying, "You suspect that this matter is related to the Yan Dan Sect's killing and soul-stealing practices?"
Otherwise, why would we have mentioned the Yandan Sect before?
Leng Ning Shuang said, "It's just a guess."
She lowered her head and drank her wine, showing no sign of urgency.
The fake "Mushan" is still in their hands and enters and leaves the Demon Palace every day. The people behind him have no intention of giving up this pawn. As long as they still need to use the identity of the Demon Realm Protector, Mushan must live. Only when he is alive can they carve the usable pawns according to the template and make the pawns more perfect!
Even so, Geng Qi couldn't relax at all.
On Mount Pipi, when the deeds of the Yandan Sect were exposed, he had suspected them. When the elder of the Langgu Sect, who had helped set up the Nine Heavens Ambush Formation, was silenced, he thought the matter was over and did not pursue it further.
Now that Kiyama is in trouble, it turns out that it was also the work of the Arashigumon!
But he felt that something was not quite right!
"he……"
“Oh right, I forgot to ask you,” Leng Ning Shuang suddenly interrupted him, “What exactly is going on between you and Master Ling Yuan!”
"..."
