Chapter 095: On-site review (2)
The perspective jumps to Yun Tongmin's side.
Earlier, after Ji Kunling left Shanshui Peak, Yun Tongmin took Ying Feiqiong to the vicinity of the main peak to check out the surprise arranged by the master's wife.
It was a fireworks formation that needed to be sent out regularly. Since it was located in the mountains, remote control might not be safe.
There was no one around, so Ying Feiqiong tentatively said to Yun Tongmin, who was squatting on the ground checking the formation, "I heard that Kunling Immortal Lord was bewitched by the Demon Emperor and began to turn into a demon."
Yun Tongmin stood up and turned to look at Ying Feiqiong. "Where did you get this news? How is it possible?"
She knew that Ying Feiqiong would not tell her any uncertain news, and that she must have mentioned it only when she was sure. She frowned.
Ying Feiqiong: "I can't say."
Yun Tongmin asked: "Who else knows?"
Ying Feiqiong thought for a moment and said, "There is also Bai Zhiyu, but I'm not sure about the others."
Bai Zhiyu? Yun Tongmin looked at her suspiciously, and then he thought, "Is it the news from the Guiyu?"
Logically speaking, Bai Zhiyu and Ying Feiqiong do not have a deep connection. The fact that they both know secret information that she does not know at the same time must be that they have the same source of information.
The only channel through which they may have overlapping information is in the Strange Realm.
Before their death, Bai Shenhuan, Lord of Guiyu, and Bai Shenqi, Lord of Baiping City, were cultivators of the Wanjian Sect and had always maintained contact with the Wanjian Sect.
And Ying Feiqiong has a master's wife who is the lord of Guiyu City.
Ying Feiqiong said: "...I guess so."
She was obviously hiding something, but since she was hiding it on purpose, forcing her to question would not yield any results.
Yun Tongmin asked her to go back to Shanshui Peak and go find Ji Kunling herself.
However, he did not go directly. He first returned to his room and threw cups and lotus seeds at the statue of Nuwa. After getting the answer to the question in his mind, he set out to look for his master's wife.
Then the previous scene happened.
After hurriedly leaving his master's wife's residence, Yun Tongmin went to the Zhengdao Hall without hesitation and told his master's aunt Ji Kunze about the matter.
Ji Kunze asked her not to tell anyone else for the time being and to do her own thing, and then sent a letter to Ji Kunling to make an appointment to meet at the Zhengdao Temple.
On the other side, Ji Weihang also observed Bai Zhiyu, who was said to know the same thing.
Apart from Ji Tianjiao who took the initiative to challenge her to a competition, Bai Zhiyu basically did not interact with other people - she did not join in the conversation, and maintained a polite and distant attitude towards the sisters' attempts to get closer to her.
When Ji Kunling went to Shanshui Peak to find two disciples, Bai Zhiyu did not stare at him like Ying Feiqiong did. On the contrary, she completely avoided where Ji Kunling was.
Even if others noticed this, they didn't find it strange.
Children this age do like to hide from their elders.
Not to mention Bai Zhiyu, who is famous for being introverted and cold.
...Thinking of this, Wei Hang suddenly remembered why Bai Zhiyu appeared at Shanshui Peak?
Bai Zhiyu had no personal relationship with the concubines of the Ming Dynasty, and she was not the kind of person who would join in the fun of a birthday ceremony.
Generally speaking, even if her master's wife wanted to bring her closer to her peers by doing activities together, she would not agree. And her master's wife, Wanqi Shuang, was not the kind of person who would care about the relationship between her apprentice and her peers.
Therefore, there is only one possibility.
——Bai Zhiyu came to Mingyan Sect on his own initiative for some purpose.
Is it for the Master’s wife?
After Ji Kunling finished communicating with her two disciples and left, Bai Zhiyu returned to the bedroom assigned to her, took out a two-way communication magic device, and talked to her master's wife Wanqi Shuang.
"Master's wife, I found that Immortal Kunling seemed to have turned into a demon." Her expression did not change when she said this, as if she was describing a trivial matter.
Ji Weihang watched Bai Zhiyu from the side and made up a story about "accidentally seeing traces of demonization and becoming very worried."
Upon hearing such a big news, Wanqi Shuang just said, "I'll be there soon and will ask her about it."
The master and the disciple both had the same expressionless face.
After the two ended their communication, Bai Zhiyu just sat in the room maintaining his natal sword without any other movement.
Ji Weihang came to Ji Kunling.
Since Senior Sister Yun Tongmin had informed Senior Auntie about the demonization, Ji Kunling had already arrived at Ji Kunze's Zhengdao Hall.
Wanqi Shuang just arrived.
It was almost noon now, and one could see many flying spiritual treasures landing in front of the Kou Dao Xuan Guan from afar. They were the monks from various sects who came to participate in the ceremony.
They will be picked up by the flying spiritual treasure arranged by Mingyan Sect and temporarily settled in Fufeng Mountain where the ceremony will be held, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
Wanqi Shuang and Mingyan Sect have always had close relations and are qualified to move freely within the sect.
As soon as Wanqi Shuang arrived, he pointed his sword at Ji Kunling and spoke in a cold voice. "I got the news that you have been deceived by the Demon Emperor and turned into a demon for some time. Is it true?"
Wanqi Shuang's sword can judge the truth and falsehood, good and evil in the world.
Ji Kunling calmly admitted, "Yes."
The Jishi Sword made a clear sound, indicating the truth.
Wanqi Shuang said, "You have lost your mind and control. In order to ascend to heaven, you want to sacrifice the entire sect at today's birthday ceremony. Is this true?"
Ji Kunling's eyes were calm and firm, and she did not change her expression because of the ridiculous accusation. She denied it and said, "No."
The Jishi Sword rang again.
real.
After getting the answer, Wanqi Shuang put down his sword, his face still solemn, "But those who enter the demonization must be charged and imprisoned, and then go through the trial of the Three Stars Gate."
Ji Kunze had been watching silently at the side, and now he came out to smooth things over, "Today is Wei Hang's birthday ceremony. It would be awkward without Master's wife presiding over it, and it would easily cause panic. Senior Sister doesn't look like she will lose control, so let her attend the ceremony first, and everyone will be happy, isn't that good?"
Wanqi Shuang was silent for a moment and agreed.
She put away her sword, clasped her fists and saluted, "I mean no disrespect to you, Senior."
Ji Kunling said indifferently: "It's my responsibility, what's wrong with that?"
With a whooshing sound, a paper crane flew in from outside and fell into Ji Kunling's hands.
She started reading and said, "Li Ji asked me to see the birthday present prepared for Wei Hang."
Since she had already passed the "test", Wanqi Shuang had no reason to stop her, and Ji Kunze urged her, "Go, go."
Before leaving with his master's wife, Wei Hang turned around and glanced at Wanqi Shuang.
"Lose reason and control. In order to ascend, the entire sect must be sacrificed at today's birthday ceremony" or something like that...
The information Wanqi Shuang said was much more detailed than what Bai Zhiyu said.
I'm afraid she knew the news earlier than Bai Zhiyu.
Where did she get the news?
Ji Kunling went to the mountain where Li Ji lived, and his expression seemed gloomy because of what had just happened.
She stroked the beads on her wrist, sighed, and whispered: "Weihang, I hope you are happy now..."
Weihang looked at his master's wife quietly.
Of course she is happy.
At this moment, she was in the secret realm in the back mountain, happily playing with her masters.
With Ji Kunling's speed, they soon reached the mountain where Li Ji was.
Li Ji is an alchemist and animal tamer, or as she calls it, a "veterinary pharmacist."
She transformed the mountain where she lived into a natural park where a large number of spiritual beasts could live.
The house she lived in was located on the top of a mountain. She could observe the situation in the spirit beast garden below in real time, and use distance and formations to avoid scaring the spirit beasts with the loud noise and smell caused by failed medicine refining.
When Ji Kunling landed in front of the house, Li Ji walked out of the house, followed by Zhong Lingxiu.
"Ping An, the birthday present is here..." Seeing Zhong Lingxiu using the magic treasure to control Li Ji's actions from behind, Ji Kunling asked in confusion, "Where is this...?"
"Elder Kunling." Zhong Lingxiu's face was solemn. "I know your plan. Please surrender."
Li Ji couldn't speak, her eyes blinked wildly, asking Ji Kunling to catch the braggart.
Let Master Aunt surrender? Are you worthy?
"What is my plan?" Ji Kunling said, "You seem to know my affairs better than I do."
Zhong Lingxiu glanced at Li Ji in front of her and said, "I don't want to say this in front of someone who trusts you."
Ji Kunling smiled, and this smile made Zhong Lingxiu subconsciously hide behind Li Ji.
Li Ji's lips trembled slightly with anger.
"Is it appropriate for you to say that? Didn't you take advantage of Ping An who trusted you?" Ji Kunling said, "There is a strange smell on this land. Did you bring it?"
She clapped her hands, and the ground began to shake. A group of monsters were forced to give up their ambush and jumped out under the rejection of nature.
Through the land, Ji Kunling easily controlled their movements, and used the air to make Zhong Lingxiu lose control of her body and let go of the spiritual treasure.
Ji Kunling looked at Li Ji who had regained his freedom, "Are you okay?"
Li Ji shook his head, turned around and immediately punched Zhong Lingxiu hard in the chest. His expression was ferocious and terrifying, like an angry female beast.
"You actually used me to threaten Aunt Shi and let the demons in! Your friendship is even more fragile than my worst quality alchemy furnace! Your integrity is even more rotten than the stomach of a rain rabbit!"
After saying that, he punched him again angrily.
"You're still trying to use me as a shield! What reconciliation? You're just lying to me! Liar!"
Still not satisfied, he punched him a few more times.
It looked cruel, but it was only a flesh wound and the monster was not really hurt.
Amidst a series of curses, Ji Kunling walked up to the demons bound by the land and asked, "What is your purpose?"
"You are truly worthy of the name Kunling. Mother Nature treats you like her own child." A demon with light blue curly hair praised him first, and then said, "I heard that you have become a demon. The human race will not tolerate you. How about joining our demon race?"
"Jiugao Xinglan, you are loyal to the Demon Emperor." Ji Kunling didn't believe that she was coming just for him, "Why, the Demon Emperor also dislikes our small sect?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just take the person away and be done with it!"
The black-haired demon next to him suddenly spat out a black ball.
The moment the ball hit the ground, it exploded with a bang, and the demonic energy instantly spread, as if it had life and drilled into Ji Kun's spirit body, quickly forcing out the demonic transformation that she had suppressed.
The demonization went out of control, causing the restraints to become ineffective, and the demons took the opportunity to escape control and capture her.
She lost control but was not exhausted, and fought with them.
All kinds of spiritual power are flying around, it is so exciting.
Li Ji was distracted by the demonic energy, and when he saw that the restraints were no longer effective, he immediately turned to look at Zhong Lingxiu, but he was not as fast as Zhong Lingxiu.
The green vines grabbed Li Ji and threw him out.
Following this force, Li Ji flew out of the range filled with demonic energy, cursing, "You tried a sneak attack, I'll kill you! Zhong Lingxiu!" He cursed and spat out the demonic energy.
At this moment, a force suddenly grabbed her, and Senior Sister Ji Linxue untied the vines on her body, "I heard you shouting from a long distance away, what's going on?" Looking at the evil spirit permeating below, she frowned.
Gui Yan was holding a video recording device nearby and repeated, "What's going on?"
"Sister, why are you here?" Li Ji asked subconsciously, and then hurriedly poured out the situation, "Zhong Lingxiu went crazy and teamed up with a group of monsters to force Auntie to become a demon and lose control, and wanted to take Auntie away to join the monster tribe!"
This situation is complicated. If they are demons, why do they have demonic energy? Ji Linxue looked at the people who were gathering from other directions, and her frown relaxed slightly. It would be easier with more people.
Before she could even call for cooperation, Bai Zhiyu drew his sword and swung it. The bright sword light pierced into the filthy evil energy and seemed to hit someone. A muffled groan was heard.
The black line in Ying Feiqiong's hand shot into the evil energy, attacking indiscriminately, causing a burst of exclamations.
"Hey, stop attacking indiscriminately!" Li Ji shouted, "Master Aunt is still down there, don't hit her!"
Ji Linxue's brows furrowed again. Did she not know, or did she do it on purpose?
The people with Bai Ying reacted very quickly and responded at the same time Li Ji spoke.
Ji Tianjiao blocked Bai Zhiyu's follow-up attack and frowned, "What are you doing? Master's wife is still in there!"
Yun Tongmin flicked his finger, and several round jades shot out, blocking Ying Feiqiong's black line. He said coldly, "Don't attack my master's wife in front of me."
It sounds like it was definitely intentional.
Ji Linxue waved her sleeves to freeze the man and the ghost, and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing? Even if the master-in-law has become a demon, there is no reason for the juniors to judge her by bypassing the Three Stars Gate."
At this moment, there was a loud bang, as if the ground broke, and a huge amount of demonic energy gushed out.
"There are demons!" Ying Feiqiong, who was most sensitive to demons, shouted.
"Master's wife is here." Bai Zhiyu looked in one direction.
A flash of cold light passed by, and it was Wanqi Shuang's sword that pierced into the evil spirit, creating a gap of light in the thick darkness.
Golden light flashed, and the sect's great formation was instantly formed, blocking out the interior of the mountain where demonic energy was surging and the sight of the young men.
"It's too dangerous, please stay away." Ji Kunze arrived, Kun Gan moved, and they arrived at the bamboo forest in the distance and watched her enter the barrier.
They looked at each other.
Two seconds later, voices of questioning, inquiry, and cursing suddenly erupted in the quiet bamboo forest.
"What did you just do?!" Ji Tianjiao stared at Bai Zhiyu and Ying Feiqiong and asked loudly.
"Zhong Lingxiu! Why are you here!" Li Ji saw Zhong Lingxiu lying on the ground and rushed over while cursing.
"Okay, be quiet." Ji Linxue gave an order and everyone fell silent.
——Both the speaking mouth and the moving legs were frozen and had to be quiet.
"You tell it." Ji Linxue pointed at Zhong Lingxiu who was sitting under the bamboo and was injured.
Zhong Lingxiu glanced at Li Ji who was frozen in front of her with his fist raised to fight, and said succinctly: "Ji Kunling was bewitched by the Demon Emperor and turned into a demon. She has cast a spell of unification on all of you. Once the ceremony begins, she will transfer the fate of all of you to one and help her ascend."
This kind of thing is not without precedent, and it is not difficult to understand. But the people present still took a second to react before they realized that she was talking about Ji Kunling.
"Mmmmm!" Ji Tianjiao wanted to speak even though her mouth was sealed, so Ji Linxue simply let her go. "Mmmmm... Where did you get the news? The demon clan? The devil clan? How is this possible? It must be the devils trying to cause trouble!"
Ji Linxue agreed, "Even if Master Auntie turned into a demon, she would never do such a thing."
Zhong Lingxiu said calmly: "Elder Kunling was promoted to the Out-of-Body State when he was about 200 years old. He was praised as the genius with the greatest potential to ascend to heaven, but he has not yet been promoted to the Divine Transformation State.
"Eighteen years ago, she failed to break through and was depressed for a long time. It was not until she found Ji Weihang that she regained her spirits. Ji Weihang is simply a replica of her. It is impossible for her to not have thoughts in her mind. Now, she has been bewitched by the Demon Emperor and her emotions are unstable. It is also normal for her to go astray for a while."
Ji Tianjiao said angrily: "I'm going to slap your uncle... wuwu!"
Ji Linxue sealed Tianjiao's mouth and glanced between Bai Zhiyu, Ying Feiqiong, and Zhong Lingxiu. "You three all believe this and are very confident. Did you get the news from the same source?"
Zhong Lingxiu paused and nodded.
Ji Linxue: "Do you all believe in the accuracy of this information channel? Do you think it will not be biased due to power, interests, or race?"
Zhong Lingxiu nodded.
Gui Yan murmured, "How is that possible?" She was the quietest, and Ji Linxue did not seal her mouth.
Yeah, how is that possible?
It is impossible for Jijiang Continent to have such well-informed and unbiased information channels.
Zhong Lingxiu kept silent and did not explain.
Ji Linxue let go of Ying Feiqiong and Bai Zhiyu's mouths and asked them to speak, but they all shook their heads and said nothing.
Before Ji Linxue could press the issue, the barrier in the distance broke and demons ran rampant.
Ji Linxue removed the ice and snow spell and allowed everyone to resume movement.
Li Ji immediately rushed forward and punched Zhong Lingxiu, but Zhong Lingxiu could not bear it and punched back. Li Ji became even more angry, and the man and the demon rolled into a ball, fighting with fists and feet.
Ji Tianjiao was about to run to find the master's wife, but was grabbed by Ji Linxue, "It's too dangerous, you stay here, I'll go take a look."
"I'll go find Wei Hang." Yun Tongmin said, "She doesn't know what happened yet."
Ji Linxue nodded in agreement.
Ying Feiqiong wanted to go together, Yun Tongmin did not refuse, and Ji Linxue also agreed.
——Since the master’s wife chose to put them together, she must believe that Zhong Lingxiu and the others would not do anything excessive.
Ji Linxue glanced at Li Ji, who was riding on Zhong Lingxiu and beating her, and said to Gui Ling, "Stay here and don't go out. It's not safe." Then she said to Ji Tianjiao, "Tianjiao will definitely keep an eye on them, right?"
Gui Yan hummed and sat on the ground, while Ji Tianjiao vowed, "I will definitely keep an eye on them and not let them run around and cause trouble."
Facing Ji Linxue's gaze, Bai Zhiyu said expressionlessly: "With Master's wife here, I will stay here and not take any action."
Ji Linxue established a barrier with the Rhythmic Bamboo Forest as the center, which was both for protection and imprisonment, and then left to check the situation.
Zhong Lingxiu and Li Ji were still fighting fiercely.
Ji Tianjiao stared at Bai Zhiyu, who was in a daze.
Gui Yan sat on the ground fiddling with the video alone.
They didn't think the matter would escalate to a serious level.
The Master’s wife is here.
Ji Linxue rushed to the scene and found a mess. Demons were wailing on the ground. Wanqi Shuang was treating the injured Ji Kunze, and Ji Kunling was nowhere to be seen.
Wanqi Shuang briefly informed the situation.
When the three were about to subdue the demon together, a demon threw out a red ball with a smooth surface and no gaps.
The moment the sphere hit Ji Kunling's defense, it suddenly exploded into an unknown red mist. Ji Kunling's demonization and loss of control suddenly intensified, his eyes almost completely turned red, and he began to be unable to distinguish between friend and foe.
Ji Kunze blocked her attack on Wanqi Shuang, but failed to block it completely and was injured.
Realizing that he had hurt his junior sister, Ji Kunling became more sober, then broke through the barrier and disappeared.
Some demons took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Wanqi Shuang treated Ji Kunze's injuries and said, "The infiltration of demons and the loss of control of demonization in the Out-of-Body Stage are too dangerous for ordinary women. Notify other sects to start a search together."
Ji Kunze agreed that this situation was indeed dangerous. She handed the master's token to Ji Linxue to control the sect's formation.
Ji Linxue controlled the sect's formation to observe the situation in various places, set up a formation to lock up some demons whose traces had been discovered, and separated Fufeng Mountain where the guests were from other areas to avoid causing unrest.
He took the time to look at his fellow apprentice sisters, and seeing that there was no danger in the Rhythmic Bamboo Forest, he simply set up another formation outside the original barrier and protected his sisters inside.
Wanqi Shuang took over the initiative and sent messages to the Yunlong Palace, Xuefeng Sect, Wanjian Sect and other close sects that had already arrived. He also called several outstanding young men from Shanshui Peak and asked them to cooperate with the Mingyan Sect's old lady to search the mountain in the name of a sneak attack by demons.
As for the specific situation of Ji Kunling, she did not say anything, as such things could easily cause commotion and panic.
She asked Ji Linxue and Ji Kunling about their approximate locations, and then set out to capture them.
After Ji Kunling injured his junior sister and left, he went to the Zhengdao Hall of the head junior sister.
She became much more sober after taking the medicine and was searching for something in the hall.
Upon hearing the news, the various sects left Fufeng Mountain where they were hosting guests and dispersed to search the mountain.
The leader of the Yunlong Palace was Yao Dang, who looked much more energetic at that time than she does now.
Because of his close relationship with Ming Yanzong, Yunlong Palace was assigned the task of searching Zhengdao Palace.
Yao Dang was walking in front and noticed at a glance that Ji Kunling and her were obviously in an abnormal state. He immediately asked the old women who had not yet come in to step back, blocking their sight, and then squatted in front of Ji Kunling to inquire about the situation.
"Junior sister, what happened? Have you turned into a demon? Do you need help?"
Yao Dang was originally the adopted daughter of Ming Yanzong, and was of the same generation as Ji Kunling.
"Senior Sister Yao..." Ji Kunling's eyes were clear, and the madness and desire burning in them had completely faded away. "Take this, and give it to Wei Hang later." He put the thing he took out of the secret compartment into Yao Dang's hand, clenched her fist, looked into her eyes, and said firmly, "I want you to promise me that no matter what happens next, don't move."
Yao Dang hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Ji Kunling staggered to her feet and left from the back hall.
Watching her leave, Yao Dang put the letter in his hand into the Kun Gan bag, and then asked the others to pretend that nothing had happened and continue searching for the demon.
Ji Weihang glanced at the secret compartment where Ji Kunling had taken out the letter, and followed his master's wife again.
The direction that Ji Kunling moved was the back mountain.
Are they going to look for me? Ji Weihang knew that I was still chatting with my ancestors in the secret realm.
Ji Kunling took medicine while walking, but her complexion was getting worse and worse.
She met Wanqi Shuang on the road.
