With the spiritual veins damaged, it's not advisable to use spiritual power. It's good that the scorpion has transformed into its original form, as it will aid in recovery.
The commotion in the chamber was over but thankfully resolved. Jie Beiying burrowed into Qing Han's clothes and refused to come out. He was a patient, and Qing Han raised his hand but couldn't bear to drag the scorpion out with its emerald green stinger. He could only turn around and look at the person behind him: "Your Excellency, I... want to go back to Sangzhong City."
Geng Qi glanced at the scorpion tail sticking out from his chest and said irritably, "Where are you going? To elope?"
"No...no." Qinghan waved his hands repeatedly. "I want to go see my mother."
"..."
Actually, Geng Qi understood even without him saying it.
Perhaps it was because too much time had passed, even if he remembered it again, it was diluted by the new memories of the past century. It didn't feel as painful as when it first happened. But regaining his identity also meant responsibility. He had to return to the Western Rong Imperial City and the Zhan Prince's Mansion.
Whoever caused the tragedy a century ago should be held accountable for it.
But he was simple-minded and easily swayed by emotions, and Geng Qi was genuinely worried about him.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he turned his head and asked, "Senior Ji Rong, are you in a hurry to return to the sect?"
A bad premonition had just formed in Ji Rong's mind when he heard the Demon Lord's question. His heart tightened immediately. He glanced at the young man who had suggested going to Sangzhong and said, "I have other important matters to attend to..."
"If you agree to my request, I will find that thing for you."
Ji Rong, understanding the implication in his words, lowered his gaze and said, "It developed an obsession because of you; it was you who released it!"
The implication is that finding that thing is your responsibility!
Geng Qi laughed and said, "If someone hadn't been weak-willed and given an opportunity, how could it have escaped from the secret realm? Weren't those who entered the ninth level brought in by you, senior?"
"..." Ji Rong frowned, unable to refute.
To say that Geng Qi's actions were entirely in self-defense is an understatement. It has been at least several thousand years since it developed its spiritual consciousness in the Desolate Marsh Secret Realm. It wanders alone in the Secret Realm, never seeing the light of day. It is a place that it created itself, yet it can only be trapped in the primitive wasteland. Unfortunately, those who enter the Secret Realm are not strong enough, and very few can reach the last level. Even those who do reach it do not survive.
It was only with great difficulty that a human managed to break into the ninth level, but the illusion he created remained unmoved. Instead, the human devised a plan to trap him in the Corpse Forest. It was understandable that the human harbored resentment. However, if Ji Rong had not safely brought the others to that dense forest, the "Secret Realm" would have been powerless to do anything about it, no matter how much it resented him!
Seeing his silence, Geng Qi continued, "If it can truly control people's hearts, then compared to my Demon Realm, it poses a much greater threat to the Yi Ling Sect."
Humans have fears, and are now very wary of the demon realm. Humans also have desires, and are extremely envious of the spirit herbs and monsters that have taken human form from the Yi Ling Sect.
Therefore, if the "Secret Realm" wants to retaliate, the Yi Ling Sect will be the first to bear the brunt!
Ji Rong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and it was precisely for this reason that he came to the Demon Realm.
This matter concerns the safety of our sect, so we cannot discuss it with other sects. The only one we can cooperate with is the Demon Realm!
Ironically, they were regarded as a prestigious immortal family by the world, but in the end, when their sect suffered, the enemy demon realm was more trustworthy than their own sect!
Perhaps they are demonic beasts from the demon realm that have taken human form and are being hunted by humans, and they seem to share a similar plight!
Ji Rong was still hesitating when Rong Yu said, "You can't go back to Yi Ling Sect for the time being."
"..."
Geng Qi glanced to the side, then his eyes lit up: "Sangzhong City is also a good place for you, senior."
Ji Rong: "..."
Listening to their back-and-forth singing, it seemed as if they had decided on a place to go.
Rong Yu is right, he can't go back to Yi Ling Sect now.
The sect's barrier opens once a year; at other times, entry is permitted but exit is not. If he wants to return to the sect, he will have to wait until the barrier opens next year. Before then, people already know that he left the barrier. If the secret of the Yi Ling Sect is exposed in the "secret realm," all the major sects will first seek him out for verification, and he will become the target of everyone's criticism.
The only place that can be confirmed as safe now, besides the Demon Realm, is the Imperial City. Since Chen Jin, the only member of the royal family to reach the last level of the secret realm, left the secret realm with the Demon Lord, there is no possibility that he was possessed. This means that the "secret realm" must not be in the Imperial City at this time.
Ji Rong glanced at the obedient boy waiting to the side. Since the Demon Lord had not given a reply, and he did not want to interrupt their conversation, Qing Han stood silently, clearly unaware of the deal they were discussing.
The attendants of Prince Zhan seem to be a good disguise.
After a moment's hesitation, he gave in.
Geng Qi immediately smiled and said, "Then I will trouble you to take care of me, senior."
Ji Rong: "..."
He always felt like he had been tricked.
Seeing that they seemed to have finished talking, Qinghan hesitated and said, "Your Excellency, I..."
"You can go back; Senior Ji Rong will go with you."
Qinghan was taken aback, suddenly realizing what the Venerable One meant by "taking care of," and exclaimed, "No need, I can manage on my own..."
Do you know medicine?
"..."
Geng Qi pointed at Ji Rong: "He can."
Qinghan looked down at the scorpion that had fallen asleep on his chest, then looked in the direction he was pointing, his eyes brightening slightly.
Ji Rong: "..." He had indeed been tricked!
Ji Rong disguised himself and went to Sangzhong City. Two streaks of light flashed across the sky above the Demon Realm and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
After they left, Geng Qi stood there blankly for a long time before asking, "What did he do?"
Rong Yu pulled him into his arms: "Using the Blood-Shattering Pill as a guide, I transferred my cultivation to Qing Han."
