Chapter 60: Ancestor, save me!
"Can you deal with that Demon Lord?" Gu An asked with a look of doubt.
Li Ya smiled proudly and said, "I have already formed a pill, don't underestimate me!"
"A Jindan Realm disciple is only an inner disciple in Taixuan Sect. Can he fight against the Demon Lord?"
"My boy, I came all the way here to protect you, and you still despise me?"
"I'm afraid that you'll end up like what happened to you back then. Have you forgotten? You rushed out to fight the greedy and angry demons, but ended up getting injured and falling to the ground."
"Can you please stop mentioning this?"
The two began to bicker. Li Ya was not angry at all because he could feel that Gu An meant well and was afraid of getting him into trouble.
Little did he know that what Gu An was worried about was not being implicated, but being dragged down.
Brother, if the Demon Lord comes and you are next to me, it will be difficult for me to take action!
Gu An was reluctant to say his true thoughts, and Li Ya insisted on staying, so he had to give up.
"By the way, have you seen Junior Brother Lu recently?" Gu An asked.
Li Ya shook his head and said, "No, I haven't seen him. I met him before, but he joined the Demon Exorcist Hall. I don't get along with the elders of the Demon Exorcist Hall, so we don't have any contact anymore."
When talking about this, his face was indifferent and he didn't take Lu Jiujia to heart at all.
Although he is enthusiastic towards Gu An, he is actually very cold towards other people.
"Let's go upstairs and have a good chat. I heard that you got another medicine valley, and it's in the inner gate. You have to tell me about it." Li Ya pulled Gu An upstairs.
The chat lasted until late at night.
Gu An did not mention his identity as Pan An, but said that the harvest of Xuan Valley satisfied the higher-ups, so they assigned him another medicine valley.
Li Xuandao was criticized because of the Investiture of the Gods. How dare Gu An tell Li Ya about Pan An's identity?
What if Li Ya lets it slip? After all, they are father and son. No matter how big the conflict is, before they completely break up, their relationship is closer than that with Gu An.
…
At the turn of summer and autumn, the temperature is still a bit hot.
Ten days had passed since Li Ya arrived. During these ten days, Xuan Gu had not encountered any danger, and Gu An had gone out to take care of the caves of the outer disciples. Li Ya insisted on accompanying him, but when they arrived at the caves, he did not go in, for fear of causing trouble for Gu An.
Gu An wanted Li Ya to stay in Xuan Valley to protect the disciples, but Li Ya didn't care about other people at all. In his words, he was able to teach swordsmanship to those disciples just for Gu An's sake.
In the evening of that day, Gu An was picking ripe herbs, while Li Ya was meditating on the top of a mountain on the west side. The setting sun was hanging right above his head, making him look like a peerless master.
Suddenly, Gu An realized something, his right hand paused, and then he continued picking.
"There really is a demon king. I hope he doesn't target my medicine valley."
Gu An thought silently that the other party's aura was far beyond the Foundation Establishment Realm, but in his perception it did not pose a threat.
The faint demonic energy began to move away from Xuan Gu, which made him feel relieved.
He was more afraid of exposing his strength than gaining decades of life by killing the enemy.
Until night falls.
Gu An was reading the Ziwei Formation Record in the house. He was reading the wood-attributed formations with great interest.
His brows suddenly frowned and he sighed.
Xuan Gu did not cause any trouble, but Li Ya attracted the attention of the Demon Lord.
On the top of the mountain, Li Ya, who was meditating and absorbing energy, suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked down at the forest below. About a hundred feet away from the mountain where he was, a mysterious man like a ghost stood under a tree, looking at him from afar.
Under the moonlight, the mysterious man almost blends into the darkness, and his presence can only be seen when you get close.
Li Ya frowned, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, then leaped up and flew towards the end of the night sky.
The mysterious man under the tree then turned into a ball of black gas and disappeared without a trace.
After one stick of incense.
Li Ya landed beside a river in the mountains. The river ran through the mountains and was about two meters wide, sparkling under the moonlight.
As soon as he landed, a ball of black gas appeared out of nowhere on the grass across the river, and then condensed into a human figure.
Li Ya asked, "You are not the Demon Lord of Tianjue Sect, you seem to know me?"
The mysterious man made a hoarse voice: "Prince Li Ya, you have inherited the divine sword power of Jizhou's number one swordsman. It is a pleasant surprise to meet you."
Li Ya drew the sword from his waist, pointed at the mysterious figure, and said, "Playing tricks!"
As soon as he finished speaking, violent sword energy burst out from his body, causing his black clothes to shake violently like flames. Seven silver sword shadows quickly condensed around his body, so dazzling in the dark night.
"You dare to resist me at the Jindan stage?" The mysterious man sneered contemptuously.
He turned into demonic energy again and dissipated. Almost instantly, he appeared out of thin air behind Li Ya.
Li Ya's pupils shrank and he immediately jumped up, turning around and slashing behind him. Seven silver sword shadows killed the mysterious man at an extremely fast speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Silver sword shadows fell to the ground one after another, stirring up billowing dust and causing the surrounding trees to shake violently.
Li Ya, who was in mid-air, had not yet seen whether the mysterious man was hit or not, when a strong wind blew from the side. He had no time to react and was blown away.
Li Ya fell into the woods like a sharp arrow, knocking down trees along the way. He flew hundreds of feet before he stopped.
When the dust settled, Li Ya was leaning against a tree trunk covered in blood. The trunk was covered with cracks and the branches were still shaking.
The mysterious man appeared in mid-air, looking down at Li Ya, and snorted, "Boy, you dare to fight me when you just formed a pill, you are really brave. Do you know what realm I am in?"
Li Ya looked up with difficulty, and blood dyed his vision red.
"hateful……"
Li Ya gritted his teeth and tried hard to stand up, but he couldn't.
"Hey, why are you injured again? You are not playing with your own life, but the life of your ancestor!"
An old voice sounded in Li Ya's mind, with a helpless tone.
The mysterious man raised his right hand and looked towards Li Ya from a distance. In the darkness, he was surrounded by demonic energy and his true appearance was not revealed.
Just as he was about to speak, a hand surrounded by demonic energy pressed on his shoulder, stunning him.
In an instant, branches suddenly grew out of his body, mixed with blood, and it seemed as if a blood flower bloomed in the air.
The evil spirit on his body dissipated, revealing his true form. He was a middle-aged man, his outer sect elder's robe pierced by branches, his ferocious and majestic face was filled with disbelief.
He turned his head with difficulty and caught a glimpse of a purple-black figure standing behind him.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Magic Shadow Art...you..." the middle-aged man said in a trembling voice.
Li Ya's eyes suddenly widened and he angrily asked, "Elder Chen, why is it you?"
The middle-aged man called Elder Chen didn't have time to answer as the storage bag on his waist was snatched away by the person behind him. Then, the branches on his body ignited with green flames and quickly burned him to ashes. Both his body and soul disappeared.
The purple-black figure stood in the air, with his right arm still grasping Elder Chen's shoulder.
Li Ya below felt the enormous pressure. He knew that Elder Chen was a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. How could someone with such high cultivation be destroyed without any resistance?
"Crossing the Void Realm! At least above the fifth level!"
The ancestor's voice sounded in Li Ya's mind, and his tone was very solemn.
The three words "crossing the virtual realm" made Li Ya's heart beat wildly.
The forest under the night sky fell into silence. Li Ya's heart was in his throat, and he was on guard against the other party's attack at any time.
He roared in his heart, Ancestor, save me!
After counting the breaths.
The purple-black figure disappeared in the air out of thin air, scaring Li Ya so much that he trembled all over and looked around quickly.
"He's gone. He must have weighed something." The old ancestor's voice sounded in Li Ya's mind, making him feel relieved.
"You little brat, don't worry about Gu An, hurry to the inner gate, this outer gate is getting more and more weird, there must be someone who is doing something bad to Tiande, if you stay here, something bad will happen sooner or later!"
The old ancestor's tone became stern, and Li Ya remained silent.
…
Inside the Xuan Gu loft, Gu An looked at the storage bag in his hand and sighed slightly.
Senior Brother Li, I'm sorry. If I hadn't let you get hurt, you would have stayed here forever.
Gu An felt very sorry, after all, Li Ya came for him. Although Elder Chen just now obviously wanted to capture Li Ya, if Li Ya went directly to the inner gate, there would be no subsequent trouble.
He decided to send more herbs to Li Ya after he came back.
Killing Elder Chen granted him thirty-seven years of life, no more, no less.
He began to explore Elder Chen's storage bag. He scanned it several times with his spiritual sense, took out some things that might be potentially dangerous and burned them.
Li Ya didn't come back until dawn.
This guy changed into clean clothes and looked like he had not experienced a big battle.
Gu An ran into him downstairs and asked, "Brother Li, why do you look a little off?"
Li Ya smiled and said, "There was a little problem during the training last night, but it's okay."
Gu An frowned, then pulled him upstairs and took out all the pills he had made, dozens of bottles in total. He said that he bought them all and stored them.
Li Ya asked in surprise: "Junior Brother Gu, what are you doing?"
"You came back from outside the valley and you don't look well. You must have encountered a battle last night, right?" Gu An said in a deep voice.
Li Ya's face turned ugly.
He took a deep breath and said, "I did encounter a demon cultivator last night and was injured. Junior Brother Gu, you should move to the inner sect medicine valley. You can't stay in the outer sect!"
Can't wait? I don't believe it! Gu An's foundation is here, he can't abandon it, whoever comes to cause trouble will die! Gu An smiled bitterly on the surface and said, "Brother Li, we grow low-level herbs in this medicine valley, how can the Demon Lord look down on them? In fact, we are safer if you are not here. You go to the inner gate, we will be fine, I can ask Lu Jiujia for help, our relationship is not broken."
"But..." Li Ya hesitated.
Gu An interrupted, "Brother Li, I always feel that the chaos in the outer sect has little to do with the demonic cultivators. The Demon Elimination Hall has been established for so many years, and has captured so many demonic spies. Is it possible that someone is using the name of the demonic path to cause chaos? If you go to the inner sect, you may be able to save the outer sect, but if you stay here, how long can you protect me by yourself?"
When Li Ya heard this, his face instantly darkened and he thought of Elder Chen.
After struggling for a few breaths, he took a deep breath and said, "Junior Brother Gu, you are right! I will go to the inner gate now!"
Gu An smiled and then forced all the pills into his hands, which moved him deeply.
After a few words, Gu An urged him to get on the road. He also felt that things could not be delayed.
Because of his injury, Li Ya could only fly with his sword. After he flew out of Xuan Valley, he couldn't help but look back and murmured: "See? This is why I can't let him go. No matter who dares to hurt him, I will make them regret it!"
