Chapter 25: Substitute (9)



Xue Chenjing didn't expect her to bring this up suddenly. He paused for a moment before saying, "Aren't you awake? As long as you're awake, you won't be deceived again."

Unless he implants new cognition into her again, but he can't do that now. He has sworn to do so, and doing so again will only tear his purple palace apart.

Yu Yi looked at him and said, "I don't want those fabricated things to remain in my mind."

Xue Chenjing pursed his lips, feeling unhappy because of the obvious disgust in her eyes, but this time, he hid his emotions very well, pretended to be distressed, and said, "It can't be erased, and I don't know how to erase it. I can only implant another cognition into you to cover the previous one, but I am now bound by an oath."

Yu Yi didn't believe what he said, and asked, "What about those people whose cognition you have tampered with before?"

"Either kill them, or kill the 'me' in their cognition."

He had solved it this way before, for example, the group of disciples guarding the stones in the back mountain of the Lishan Sword Sect. He wanted to get rid of the identity of "Lishan disciple", so he just had to kill all the people who had been implanted with this cognition.

Of course, he could also choose to re-cover the previously implanted cognition and change his identity to an unimportant person, but most of the time, it would be easier to kill them.

Xue Chenjing "observed" Yu Yi's expression and said flatteringly: "The name Ah Qiu is real. It is the courtesy name my father prepared to give me. It is not made up." However,

he left home before that and never returned, so he was unable to have a formal ceremony of crowning.

"You can call me Ah Qiu. I like to hear you call me that."

It was a beautiful thought. Yu Yi didn't want to call him that. They were not close to that point yet. Or rather, she didn't want to take the initiative to step into Xue Chenjing's fictitious sweet trap and followed his wishes.

Xue Chenjing's tone when he talked about killing was so casual, as if he was just pulling a blade of grass from the roadside. Human life was so terribly cheap in his heart, how could he possibly know how to cherish anything else?

Yu Yi still remembered the bloody shallow beach and the scene where he pierced the heart of his senior brother who was protecting him without hesitation. Just thinking about it, no matter how he pretended and acted now, she could be calm.

Before she could say anything, Li Su shouted jealously, "No, you can't call him that, Huai Li, I have known you for a hundred years, and you have never called me Asu, why do you call him that? Unless you call me first." That

was the cat of the little bird demon, and Yu Yi certainly couldn't call him that.

Xue Chenjing really didn't care how she called him. It wouldn't add points to his score anyway. He just wanted to find a chance for Yu Yi to touch him again. Just once would be enough.

He said sympathetically, "It's okay. If you don't want to call me, don't call me. I won't force you like others do. You can call me whatever you want. I'll listen to you."

The other "other person" was so angry that he meowed.

Before leaving the secluded room, Xue Chenjing took off his eye-catching wedding dress and reluctantly put on the clothes that the cat demon used.

Although Li Su lived for more than a hundred years, he still looked like a teenager, while Ji Han had the body and physique of an adult man.

The clothes were a little tight on him, and they were tightly wrapped around his shoulders.

Xue Chenjing worked hard all the time to get points for his mission, and begged, "Master, can you help me put on my clothes?"

The cat demon once again took the lead and stepped forward, cracking his fingers and making a clacking sound, and said with a fake smile, "My lord, you are so coquettish that you need someone to help you put on your clothes. Let me help you put on your clothes. After all, these are my clothes, and I know how to wear them better than Huai Li."

Xue Chen Jing pulled the clothes onto his shoulders with force, causing the fabric to crack. He said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way." Li

Su immediately turned around to complain, "Huai Li, did you see that? He changes his mind faster than turning the pages of a book. This kind of man is the most unreliable!"

The soul of the little bird demon was made very nervous by the occasional confrontations between the two of them. Yu Yi wanted to add fuel to the fire and said, "There are several wolf demons around the mountain master. The master has a very good nose. Lingmin, Li Su, hug the Immortal Lord or rub against him, let him have more of your scent, and cover up the aura of a human cultivator."

After she said this, both men showed disgusted expressions and said in unison: "Impossible."

But the cat demon rolled his eyes and quickly changed his words: "It's not impossible, but the immortal Lord has too much immortal energy, and just hugging or rubbing against him can't suppress it. I'm afraid only peeing on him will do."

Xue Chenjing took a step back in disgust, and blocked his body with his tentacles. The golden snake scales climbed up to the end, armoring it into a sharp spear, shining golden under the mermaid oil lamp, "You dare!"

He turned his head to face Yu Yi, gritted his teeth and said: "Master, don't worry, I won't let anyone notice the aura on my body."

When Xue Chenjing said this, the aura on his body really began to fade.

Whether it was the smell of blood on his body, the scent of powder that Ji Han was forced to wear, or even the smell of the cat demon on his clothes, they were all completely removed.

Even the wind would have different smells due to the surrounding environment, but he could do it without any smell on his body.

Li Su sniffed at him twice and asked in surprise: "How did you do it?"

Xue Chenjing said impatiently: "It has nothing to do with you."

Yu Yi remembered that the book seemed to mention that the villain did have some ways to hide his smell, so he could sneak into the righteous immortal gate frequently to cause trouble.

She explained to Xue Chenjing in advance: "Okay, but if we are discovered by the master of Xuandan Mountain after we go out, I will hand you over to her directly."

Only in this way, Huai Li will not immediately become a roasted bird. Li

Su was delighted when he heard this, but then he felt a little weird. This is not something Huai Li would do. Based on his understanding of her, she would never sacrifice others for her own safety.

But before he could think about it carefully, he saw the treacherous human cultivator nodded obediently, lowered his head and tried to get close to Huai Li. He also deliberately lowered his voice and said softly: "I will listen to my master."

Li Su no longer had the mind to think about anything else, and only cared about guarding against this human cultivator who took advantage of the opportunity to seduce Huai Li.

In addition to the entrance and exit on the altar, this secluded room also has another door on the mountainside, which is a gate for patrol personnel to enter and exit.

When they came out from the mountainside, it was late at night outside. The lights on Xuandan Mountain were still bright, and the mountain master had not given up the search for Ji Hanyi. The monsters gathered on the top of the altar and were trying to break into the damn secluded room from the outside. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城

Xue Chenjing secretly sent an order to the owner of Xuandan Mountain, asking her to move all the monsters under the mountain away from their original location.

The three of them returned to the palace complex at the foot of the mountain almost unimpeded. Yu Yi held the complete diagram of the Soul-Restoring Formation, deduced the location of the formation gate, and rushed there.

The gate of the Soul-Restoring Formation happened to be under the big locust tree in the center. There was an ancestral hall there, named Huai'an Hall, which was the ancestral hall of this branch of the Ji family.

The place was shady and secluded, and the big locust tree's cloud-like leaves covered the entire ancestral hall. When the Ji family was still alive, this locust tree gave birth to a tree spirit, which had been guarding the ancestral hall.

After Xuan Dan occupied this place, she led a group of demons to destroy the ancestral hall to vent her anger. She wanted to kill the locust tree spirit that was driven by the human race, but then she thought that someone must have witnessed the scene of the Ji family ancestral hall, so she kept it and allowed it to live until now.

The gate of the soul-soothing formation is set there, and the locust tree spirit must know the inside story.

Yu Yi asked Li Su to support Xue Chenjing and half-carried him forward. The three of them stumbled into the Huai'an Hall.

Today, the ancestral hall still maintains the appearance of when it was destroyed. The plaque is broken into pieces and lies under the porch. The stains have penetrated into the nanmu wood, and the handwriting on it can no longer be seen clearly.

Most of the beams and pillars had collapsed, and the tiles were scattered all over the floor. Especially the tablets inside, there was hardly a clean and intact piece. On every remaining piece of debris, you could see some curses and insults, and traces of fire were left on every inch of the land.

The ancestral hall stank to high heaven. According to Li Su, this place had been flooded with feces for 49 days. At that time, these monsters went to the villages at the foot of the mountain to steal feces and offered them as tribute to the deceased ancestors of the Ji family.

Li Su grabbed the immortal's arm fiercely, carried him on one shoulder, and said maliciously: "Anyway, every tablet here has been drenched in feces and urine, and trampled by countless monsters."

"Shut up." Xue Chenjing scolded in a low voice, feeling the turbulent emotions of another soul in his body, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and suppressed Ji Hanyi's resistance again.

Yu Yi turned her head and glanced around the ancestral hall, looking at the big locust tree above her head.

She had come to investigate this ancestral hall before, but she didn't find anything unusual. She was also cursed for no reason by the tree spirit born from the big locust tree next to the ancestral hall, which had a lush crown and shaded the entire ancestral hall.

At that time, Huai Li was scolded by it and cried.

At this time, the big locust tree spirit was lying on a branch, its translucent body glowing slightly. When it heard someone breaking in, it opened its mouth and cursed: "You bunch of wild beasts, there is nothing here that can vent your anger, what are you still doing here?"

The big locust tree shook, and the trunk bent down. The huge knots smashed down at the intruder like hammers, and the branches hit bricks and stones flying. It shouted angrily: "Get out, get out quickly!" The locust

flowers in the sky were flying, like scattered stars. For a moment, the scenery was unexpectedly beautiful.

"Huai Li, be careful." Li Su stepped in front of Yu Yi and protected her behind him. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and pushed Xue Chenjing out. "Look carefully, old man, I smashed your immortal king to death. You can cry."

Xue Chenjing spat out a mouthful of blood. He was half-conscious and fell weakly into the dirt. Fortunately, the locust tree spirit reacted very quickly. A branch stretched out, causing the immortal king to fall into the lush branches and leaves.

The locust tree spirit suddenly sat up from the branch. It had white hair and beard and was only half the height of a person. It flew lightly onto the locust leaf. The branches and leaves shook, and it turned the immortal king over and looked at him carefully.

After a long time, it finally recognized the Immortal Lord of the Ji Family. It stretched out its hand to support him and said, "It's really the Immortal Lord. Immortal Lord, you, you..."

The tree spirit choked up, looked at the blood-red gauze on his eyes, raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes, and wept, "It's because of my incompetence that I can't protect the ancestral hall, and I can't rescue the Immortal Lord. I can only watch the Immortal Lord being bullied by a group of demons."

Xue Chenjing shook his head lightly, "Don't blame you, it's because I'm not as strong as others that I have fallen into this situation." Li Su

raised his head to interrupt their master-servant greetings, "Old thing, then you have to thank us very much. If Huai Li and I hadn't rescued your Immortal Lord, he He died in the mountain master's bed a long time ago."

When Li Su said this, his cat eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. He tilted his head and blinked at Yu Yi. He didn't miss any opportunity to discredit that person. He approached her and whispered, "Yes, he escaped from the bridal chamber after so long, he must have been a mess a long time ago."

Xue Chenjing was still lying on the branch of the locust tree, pretending to be seriously injured. The system was noisy in his ear, "He slandered you! It is recommended that the host must find an opportunity to explain to the heroine that the snake demon has never touched you."

Xue Chenjing didn't care at all, "He slandered Ji Hanyi, what does it have to do with me, Xue Chenjing?"

@無限好文,盡在晉江文学城

The system said helplessly: "But you are now one with Ji Han, and the heroine doesn't know when you entered the ghost realm. What if you are mistaken?"

Xue Chenjing heard this and observed Yu Yi. She clearly didn't care at all.

In the other room, Li Su was smug, and he raised his tail to her hand, hooked her fingers, and the tip of his ears was red. "Huai Li, stay away from him in the future, don't let him touch you again, if you want to touch, touch me, I will only let you touch me."

The soul of the little bird demon squeezed Yu Yi away, raised his hand to cover his cat mouth, and said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, if the immortal hears it, he will be sad."

Is this the point? Is she only thinking about that despicable human cultivator?

Li Su's expression suddenly darkened, and the redness on his face disappeared. He turned his back and glared at the despicable Xiu, and said nothing more.

Huai Li timidly lowered his hands, shook the remaining breath of Li Su in his heart, and asked without knowing the reason: "Ayi, did I do something wrong? Why is Li Su angry again?"

Yu Yi chuckled in his heart, "No, you did a good job."

The locust tree spirit shook the branches, carefully protected the seriously injured immortal king under the branches, and looked at the two little demons whispering with hostility, trying to confirm whether his immortal king was coerced by the two little demons.

Xue Chenjing closed his eyes. Ji Hanyi's soul resisted fiercely, so he had to close his eyes and concentrate on suppressing him, so as not to be affected by his angry emotions.

Feeling the gaze of the locust tree spirit, he held his chest and sat up: "I used to have some friendship with that little bird demon. It was indeed them who saved me. We have nowhere to go now, so we can only take shelter in the ancestral hall."

The locust tree spirit then withdrew its hostility, but still looked at Huai Li and Li Su with caution, and sighed: "The ancestral hall has been destroyed like this, how can it be possible for them to... Is there any place to hide in there?"

Li Su opened her mouth to curse, but Yu Yi stopped her with her hand, "Master Huai Jing, now there are demon guards everywhere searching for the Immortal Lord. We can only bring the Immortal Lord here to you to think of a solution. No matter what, the Immortal Lord is entrusted to you. Let's go and lead away the demon guards first."

She took one last look at Xue Chenjing, grabbed the cat demon's sleeve, and pulled him out of the ancestral hall quickly.

Xue Chenjing pretended to be unconscious, and the locust tree spirit carefully examined him again. Seeing the Ji family emblem on the inside of his elbow connected to the meridian, he finally dispelled his doubts. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城 The

locust tree's branches and leaves overlapped, lifting the immortal and sending him into the half-collapsed ancestral hall.

The locust tree spirit grabbed Xue Chenjing's hand, and its fingers turned into sharp branches, cutting a wound on his palm, then reached into its heart with its backhand, dug out a green bud and put it into the wound on his palm.

The bud entered with blood, and the green light climbed up Xue Chenjing's arm along the meridians of his wrist. The locust tree's thousand-year spiritual power was poured into his body along with the green light.

The broken meridians of this body were being repaired as the roots entered the body. Xue Chenjing woke up in time, with the blue veins on his neck bulging. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing?"

The spirit in front of him said ashamedly, "When I was still a seedling, the ancestors of the Ji family carefully cultivated me, so that I could grow into a useful living being. Now I have no way to repay you, so I can only offer all my spiritual power to restore the meridians for you, hoping to help you escape the torture of the demon clan."

"No, I don't need you to do this." Xue Chenjing took a deep breath and reached out to dig out the tender bud that had drilled into his palm.

"If you want to open the underground palace and hide, you have to use your spiritual power. You don't have to shirk it. I am willing to do this." The locust tree spirit smiled with relief. It lost its Yuandan, and its body withered and died at a speed visible to the naked eye. Dead leaves and broken flowers fell down.

The spirit also began to dissipate gradually. At the last moment, the locust tree spirit pushed the filthy altar in the ancestral hall and said, "If you can recover your spiritual power, please leave here from the underground as soon as possible."

Half of Xue Chenjing's body was wrapped in green light climbing along his blood vessels. The Yuandan of the locust tree was like a seed, piercing into his body and starting to grow wildly.

The branches continued to connect to his broken bones, the stems and leaves formed his abolished meridians, and the consciousness of this body also recovered. Xue Chenjing felt severe pain all over his body, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He held a locust tree branch tightly with both hands until the branch lost its vitality in his palms and turned into a withered branch that broke at the slightest bend.

The tree essence pill was completely integrated into his body, and the meridians in his body were restored. Xue Chenjing broke out in cold sweats from the pain, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

He threw away the dry branch in his hand, and turned back to stomp on the dead locust tree branch, cursing: "Who the hell asked you to reconnect my meridians and splice my broken bones! It hurts me to death."

This is what Yu Yi and Li Su saw when they saw the rapidly withering locust tree and broke in again.

The cat demon immediately shouted: "Didn't I ask you to find out about the Soul-Calming Formation from it? Why did you kill it!"

Xue Chenjing turned his back, rubbed the wet gauze on his eyes, his voice a little hoarse, and said coldly: "It died before I had time to ask."
