Chapter 42
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone seemed to come to their senses and told Cassel to take off his outer robe and not to cover it up, otherwise they would think he was a demon and would capture him.
Cassel clutched his robe tightly and did not move. He wanted to leave, but he didn't know where to go. For a moment, he thought about eating the whole bottle of pills and escaping quickly, but he quickly rejected this idea.
No, you can't do that.
If he really left like this, then his crime would be proven. If the head of Yundian Sect randomly frames someone else at that time, even Nie Wuhen will be implicated.
Who knows how this old man will spread rumors about Nie Wuhen.
But……
Sect Leader Yundian couldn't wait any longer and called on other disciples to capture Cassel. Cassel stepped back subconsciously, but someone suddenly held down his shoulder. At the same time, the salty smell of sea water hit him in the face. With the two of them as the center, murderous intent quickly spread.
Someone shouted: "Mermaids! How can there be mermaids!"
Cassel tried to break free, but Ji Chuya didn't give him a chance. He smiled, tilted his head and looked at Cassel, touching his cheek with his fingertips. Ji Chuya froze Cassel.
Everyone was on alert.
Ji Chuya narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "How dare you go against all the mermaids!"
The head of Yun Dian frowned: "You..."
"What am I? My wife, it's not anyone's turn to disobey him."
Ji Chuya sneered. He grabbed Cassel's hand. Where no one could see, his nails began to grow longer and sharper, piercing the flesh. Bright red blood flowed down Cassel's arm.
Cassel trembled in pain, his eyes instantly turned red, he bit his lips tightly, tears in his eyes, just watching Ji Chuya holding his arm and lowering his head to drink his blood.
But to outsiders, it was just the tenderness and kissing between a couple when they met.
"She's crying so pitifully." Ji Chuya sighed. He reached out and pulled off Cassel's outer robe, exposing the little wings completely to everyone.
There was an uproar all around.
"The demon tribe! It turns out that the demon tribe has already infiltrated Yun Dian!"
"Pah! It turned out to be the demon tribe! I almost fell into their trap! How could the demon tribe be so kind! It seems that the mermaids have been colluding with the demon cultivators for a long time!"
"This monster is still in Yun Dian! I'm afraid he has already leaked Yun Dian's secrets! He is the traitor! He is the one who killed Senior Brother Dan Rong!"
…
There was constant discussion. In just a few words, a false accusation was pinned on Cassel's head. Cassel loudly protested, asking everyone not to be fooled, but no one paid any attention to him. No matter how loudly he shouted or how painfully he screamed, it would eventually be drowned out by the noisy discussions and no one would listen seriously to what he said.
Ji Chuya touched Cassel's wings and smiled, asking him to continue explaining.
Cassel sniffed and asked, "Why are you here? Weren't you arrested?"
"Someone is working with me. Guess who he is."
Who? it goes without saying.
Cassel cursed: "Asshole!"
Ji Chuya didn't mind at all: "It can break illusions, restore mana, and freeze anything that threatens you...your blood is really useful. I was wondering how Nie Wuhen protected you so well."
"Where's Nie Wuhen? What did you do to him? And there's my blood... How do you know?"
Cassel suddenly understood why Ji Chuya wanted to cooperate with him. It's just that the mana recovery...why didn't he know it was useful?
Ji Chuya seemed to see through his confusion. He smiled and stopped Cassel's bleeding, but did not answer any of his questions. He just said: "You are a little devil related to the ocean... but you are a treasure with a deep connection with the mermaids."
The cloudless sky gradually darkened, dark clouds appeared from all directions, quickly gathered in the sky, thunder roared, and heavy rain was coming.
The head of Yun Dian slammed the table and stood up: "Catch the two monsters below! Don't let them escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge group of people rushed up under the banner of justice.
Ji Chuya pinched Cassel's chin, forcing him to face himself, and said: "You should understand my purpose."
Cassel forced himself to ask back: "What is the purpose?"
Bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky and quickly gathered into puddles. Countless mermaids emerged from the water and rushed over with their fangs and claws bared, clamoring to tear the immortal disciples to pieces.
For a moment, both the ancient forest and the cloud peak were plunged into complete chaos.
The water flow surrounded Cassel and Ji Chuya, completely separating the two. Cassel heard Ji Chuya say: "I want the mermaid pearl. That's not what you should take, do you understand?"
"So this is your purpose." Cassel forced himself to calm down. Although his voice was slightly trembling, it was much better than before. He held the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "But you know the origin of the mermaid pearl better than anyone else."
"I spent so much time and so many lives to create the mermaid pearl, so I know it well," Ji Chuya said faintly, curling her snow-white hair. "My dear bride, to be honest, if you were willing to cooperate with me, that old man wouldn't have had any problems. After all, not everyone is qualified to cooperate with me."
Cassel stared at the bloody scene in front of him in a daze. A name suddenly flashed through his mind. With the subtle clue of light, he seemed to have just reacted and slowly uttered two words: "Fox demon..."
Ji Chuya paused in curling his hair, and smiled as he smeared the blood from his palms and fingertips onto his face, bit by bit, not leaving out any part. He said, "You've figured it out. That day at the top of the cloud, I said I would avenge you, which meant cutting that fox demon into pieces... I meant it with all my heart."
Cassel gritted his trembling teeth and finally reacted. In the competition in the Immortal Realm, Nie Wuhen and the others believed that the demon cultivators would definitely cause trouble and would definitely cooperate with Yun Dian. They thought about preventing the mermaids from causing trouble, but despite all their precautions, they missed out on one most important piece of information, which is that the demon cultivators had never cooperated with the mermaids, nor had they ever had anything to do with Yun Dian.
Sect Leader Yun Dian has been cooperating with the mermaids from the beginning to the end.
As for the fox demon, it was nothing more than an illusion created by Ji Chuya to confuse everyone.
An illusion that made everyone put the blame on the fox clan at the beginning. As for the fox clan, I'm afraid they have to take the blame for the mermaid clan.
Ji Chuya said: "What kind of person is that fox demon? How can he be qualified to cooperate with me? To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know what he looks like."
Cassel asked again: "Where is Nie Wuhen?"
"Are you still thinking about him?" Ji Chuya sneered, "He can't save you. The water demon stole the puppet talisman, pretended to be a demon cultivator, and attached these things to those disciples, and destroyed all the beads a long time ago. Do you think he can come out to save you?"
Cassel's voice was shaking: "You did it on purpose. Last time during the incident at Zhaojia Village, you deliberately let Nie Wuhen focus on the Fox Tribe. In fact, you did it to make room for your plan so that you could prepare for today... And a few days ago, your cooperation with Shen Zhufeng was also fake. You just used Nie Wuhen to kill him..."
"How can you be so smart." Ji Chuya was obviously a little surprised. He seemed not to hear the fighting around him. Instead, he waved the water mist around him, making the water monsters appear one by one. For a moment, coupled with the continuous rain from the sky, the entire top of the cloud was almost occupied by the water monsters.
"Will you cooperate? Cassel, I can forgive your previous ignorance."
"As long as you cooperate, I will use the ancient secret method of the mermaids to release everyone trapped in the ancient forest, including Nie Wuhen, and stop the killing."
"You don't have much time left."
"After all, Nie Wuhen not only has to fight the great monster in the ancient forest, but also has to fight the inner demon."
Cassel's eyes were filled with fear. But not a single tear came out of his eyes. He suppressed his fear and calmed himself down. At this moment, no one will save him, he must save himself.
He was trying hard to think about what Nie Wuhen and Bai Yi had said when analyzing the situation in Yuanqi Pavilion a few days ago.
Just a door apart.
Two people sat opposite each other at the table, on which was a chessboard, with black and white playing against each other. Not far away, the scent of incense was spreading, it was the fragrance of plum blossoms.
Cassel was holding a plate of pastries and eating while walking quickly through the screen and coming in. At that time, Bai Yi was holding a white chess piece and placing it on the chessboard.
Bai Yi said: "Ji Chuya is the king of the mermaids. Brother, you trapped him in Yunding, so there is no guarantee that something will go wrong. For example, the demons who cooperated with him. What's more, you killed the demons' left protector."
"I have set up a barrier where Ji Chuya is imprisoned," Nie Wuhen, wearing a white robe, sat opposite him. Although he was talking, his eyes were still on the chessboard. After hearing the voice, his eyes moved up to Cassel, who was eating excitedly, and said, "The demons can't set foot in. As for the other members of the mermaid tribe, they have not committed any crime. If their numbers are small, they are nothing to be afraid of."
Bai Yi asked back: "What if there are more?"
Nie Wuhen said: "The Immortal Realm is competing, and many leaders have gathered together. Even if they are useless, they will not stand by and watch. They know the principle of the loss of lips and teeth better than anyone else. Not to mention that they can't be without magic weapons. I have already blocked the demons for them. If they can't stop the mermaids who are not good at fighting on the ground... they are not allowed to eat them."
""
Bai Yi looked up in confusion and saw Cassel put down the plate and threw himself into Nie Wuhen's arms. Nie Wuhen reached out to wipe the crumbs from the corners of his mouth and repeated: "Don't eat it. Your teeth will hurt."
Bai Yi: "..."
Cassel leaned over, neither nodding nor shaking his head, but instead tried to change the subject, saying, "What if there's a traitor like last time?"
Nie Wuhen casually picked up a black chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and said: "You stay here, as long as you don't go out, no one can come in."
"No, no, no," Bai Yi hurriedly stopped him. As if by magic, he took out a thumb-sized bottle from his back and handed it to Cassel, saying, "Here, here! Take it!"
Seeing that Cassel was just observing, Bai Yi stuffed all of the money into Cassel's palm and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry!"
Nie Wuhen said nothing.
Cassel opened the bottle curiously, poured the pill into his palm, smelled it, and asked Bai Yi what it was.
Bai Yi said: "It can improve your magic power, repair your wounds, and more importantly, it can make you grow feathers and fly!"
Cassel immediately refused: "Then I don't want it."
"No," Bai Yi said, "Keep it. Just in case you need it someday. Besides, isn't there a traitor? If there really is one, you can just eat it and fly to Yuanqi Pavilion immediately."
Cassel thought so too. He lowered his head and put the pills into the bottle, put it away, then looked up and said thank you to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi waved his hand and said no.
Nie Wuhen rubbed Cassel's head and said, "I have hidden a treasure under the banyan tree. Go and look for it. It's a gift for you."
Cassel's eyes lit up. He crawled out of Nie Wuhen's arms, said "Great", and ran out.
After that, Cassel knew nothing.
Memories return to reality.
Cassel could only piece together useful information from those fragmentary words and the current situation. He looks so simple that he makes people feel stupid, but that doesn't mean he is really a waste.
There is water everywhere, and where there is water there are water monsters and mermaids. But now, the originally clear and transparent water slowly turned red, and mixed with the blue blood of the mermaids, it turned into an enchanting purple. The purple mist floated up, looking particularly strange in this gloomy weather.
Cassel clenched his fists and suddenly said, "Okay."
