Because he is no longer holy.
Rong Yu was feeling lost when he was suddenly amused by him. He turned around and hugged him, changing the subject: "She told me that she was wrong."
Geng Qi said, "From a public perspective, she was wrong; from a private perspective, she was not wrong."
A saintess, bound within her clan for a thousand years, must have had little contact with her people in order to avoid passion and desire. She spent her days surrounded by a bunch of silent flowers and plants. It's only natural that she would want to escape her confinement on the day her life was about to end. However, things are unpredictable. Perhaps she just wanted to go out and see the world and then come back. Unfortunately, after going out, she never returned.
Now he's back, but in this way.
Geng Qi's gaze fell on the Drunken Shadow Sword at Rong Yu's waist. He stroked the patterns on it with his fingertips, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Who do you think broke the barrier?"
"..."
Both of them could only think of one person at the same time.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; no matter how fragile the barrier of the Yiling Sect is, breaking it is not something an ordinary person can do.
First, Mu Shan had his soul swapped, then the Yi Ling Sect's barrier was broken. What exactly is that person trying to do?
If it really was for the sacred relic, how did he know that the last fragment of the sacred relic was in the Yi Ling Sect?
Rong Yu said, "Besides him, there is also the Desolate Swamp Secret Realm. This barrier won't last long."
Geng Qi couldn't help but lower his gaze.
The consciousness of the secret realm possesses others, but it is not a possession, nor does it have a soul. Searching is completely useless. Moreover, it is capricious and manipulative, knowing exactly how to make people more terrified and even more unpredictable about its next move.
Although it did not reveal the secrets of the Yi Ling Sect, based on what those people had seen at the gap in the barrier, they would not easily let go of such a sacred place of cultivation rich in spiritual energy.
Geng Qi and his companions temporarily settled inside the Yi Ling Sect. The news of the broken barrier caused panic among all the members of the Yi Ling clan, but they breathed a sigh of relief when no one broke in.
The news that the clan chief allowed outsiders to live in the clan spread quickly. Some people with ulterior motives stirred things up, and some were incited to cause trouble. Clan chief Wan Yue declared that the new guests had helped her maintain the barrier, and if anyone could break the barrier set up by the guests, she would drive them out.
Not to mention that they couldn't possibly touch the barrier set up by the guests, even if they could, no one would dare to do so. There are only a few troublemakers, but most people are afraid of being harmed. If anyone dares to touch the barrier at this time, they would be making an enemy of the entire Yi Ling Sect!
Ci Gui was unwilling to give up, so she brought up Rong Yu's identity again, saying that he was the son of a criminal and refused to question the emperor, so he could not stay in the clan.
However, Rong Yu was famous for a hundred years. The Yi Ling clan members, who never left the barrier, all knew that the Holy Maiden's son was the young sect master of the Tianzhi Sect. His cultivation was unfathomable. When the clan was in danger, having such a high-level cultivator would naturally provide more protection. They would not have time to try to keep him, let alone drive him away!
The group lived comfortably within the barrier, but what was puzzling was that since the day Chief Wan Yue met them, she had not appeared again.
Geng Qi came here with a purpose, but the atmosphere that day was inappropriate and it was inconvenient to mention it. Now that he can't find anyone, what should he do about what he wants?
Moreover, he discovered something even more unbearable than finding the fragments—there was no food inside the Yiling Gate!
Plants drink water and eat nutrients from the soil. The only thing they can eat is the fruit that grows on trees. Although it is delicious, female plants are very stingy with their fruit because they produce it themselves.
It's truly heartbreaking to give one's own child away to be eaten.
Geng Qi spent his days munching on fruits that were only slightly sweet and had little flavor, and eating nectar that was so sweet it was cloying. He was so tormented that he began to question the meaning of life.
The only advantage might be that you can cultivate here, which is truly twice as effective with half the effort!
Upon waking up again after his cultivation, a plate of fresh fruit was brought into the cabin. Geng Qi was too lazy to even look at what new varieties there were. He took a bite and stared at the top of the maid's head as she brought the fruit.
The Yiling clan members wear either green robes or blue shirts, and their original forms can only be identified by the hairpins on their heads. The hairpin on the maid who entered the small wooden house today was made of peach wood. It was the season when the flowers were in bloom, and there was an extra peach blossom in the maid's hair.
Watching the maid enter, place the tray, and leave, Geng Qi, clutching Rong Yu's jade rhinoceros horn pendant, looked up and asked, "What is your original form?"
Plant spirits also belong to the category of demons. Rong Yu is half-human and half-demon. Apart from the black thorns he uses when fighting enemies, he has never seen his original form.
Rong Yu raised his hand, and black thorns wrapped around his wrist. Affected by the evil aura on the Drunken Shadow Sword, the plants were no longer recognizable as they were.
Geng Qi summoned Feng Yuan, watching the golden whip entangled with the black thorns, and said, "I don't even know what I am."
His mother was a phoenix, but he couldn't transform back into his original form as easily as the scorpions. Perhaps it was related to the damage to his heart meridian. He tossed a fruit into his mouth, then took another and held it to Rong Yu's lips, teasingly saying, "If you could still transform back into your original form, you might be able to bear fruit?"
After being teased so many times, Rong Yu stopped getting annoyed. He took Rong Yu's outstretched hand away, held it in his palm, and replied, "Want to try it?"
Geng Qi smiled with narrowed eyes: "Maybe you've already tasted it... um."
The kiss arrived as expected, and after a moment they parted, Rong Yu bit his lip and said, "Then try it again."
The word "good" was blocked before it could even be uttered.
Their intertwined figures rolled onto the not-so-spacious wooden bed. The rolled-up bamboo curtain was lowered again, and the door was tightly closed. Under this protective barrier, no matter how loud the noise, it wouldn't disturb those outside.
The young servant boy, sent by the clan chief to fetch someone, was unexpectedly stopped outside the barrier.
