The sixth night, the night before Demon Lord Jiu Yue's planned seven-day all-out attack.
With his eyes sometimes clear and sometimes confused, Ji Fenghua returned to the entrance of the Dan Sect. However, he was already a demon. When he touched the array line of the Dan Sect's mountain gate, wisps of demonic energy rose from his body, and he was stopped by the disciples guarding the mountain gate.
The disciples recognized Ji Fenghua and Ji Fengxiao, knowing they were the younger brothers of Sect Master Yun Yao. They didn't make things difficult for Ji Fenghua, but simply stopped him from entering. Then they sent someone to invite Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, and the others.
Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, Ji Chenhai, and Su Rujing personally came out and welcomed Ji Fenghua into the Dan Sect.
As Ji Fenghua's mother, Su Rujing immediately noticed something was wrong with him. She secretly transmitted her thoughts to Ji Fengyao, saying, "Yao'er, Fenghua seems a bit off. Could he have been brainwashed and turned by that great demon Jiu Yue?"
Ji Fengyao carefully observed Ji Fenghua and indeed felt that something was wrong with him, but she still comforted him, "Mother, don't worry, I'll give Fenghua a proper check-up later, he should be fine."
The five returned to the main hall of Shending Peak without alerting anyone else.
Ji Fengyao reached out and placed her hand on Ji Fenghua's wrist pulse. A wisp of her divine soul, protected by the extreme fire, was about to merge into his body to examine him.
Ji Fenghua quickly withdrew her hand, stared at Ji Fengyao for a long while, and then said, "Sister, you are... I remember you. Don't look at me, I'm fine. This is not good for you or me."
"Fenghua, what's wrong with you?" Su Rujing asked worriedly, holding Ji Fenghua's hand tightly. "Don't scare your mother!"
"Mother, I remember, I love the food you and my sister make." Ji Fenghua was somewhat dazed, trying to reconcile the identities of the people in front of her and their relationships with her amidst a jumble of memories. A smile slowly spread across her face: "Father, I remember, Father taught me martial arts; Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law is a war god, a great hero..."
"Fenghua, what happened to you after you went to the Demon Realm? How did you become like this?" Ji Chenhai made Ji Fenghua sit down, half-squatting in front of him, and patiently guided him, saying, "Tell your parents and your sister and brother-in-law. Your sister and brother-in-law are both Pill Saints. Tell us, and they will definitely have a way to help you."
“I… am very confused, it’s all in pieces, I can’t put it together.” Ji Fenghua pointed to her head and shook her head: “Master taught me, but I can’t be controlled by Master. Master can’t control me. He sent me back to lure my sister out tomorrow and leave her alone. Master wants to capture my sister. He said that my sister is the chosen one and the only hope for the Demon Realm and Master to get rid of the curse.”
When Ji Fenghua was talking about her past, she stammered.
But when it came to explaining Jiu Yue's attempt to control him and use him to achieve his plan to capture Ji Fengyao, the story flowed much more smoothly.
"Fenghua, I need to enter your sea of consciousness to take a look. Don't resist," Shang Xiye said as he stepped forward.
“Okay, brother-in-law, I believe you,” Ji Fenghua nodded obediently.
Hearing his words, Ji Chenhai and Su Rujing felt somewhat relieved to see that he didn't seem to be stupid, and stepped back a little.
"It might be a little painful," Shang Xiye said tenderly, patting Ji Fenghua's head. "Do you have any magic crystals?"
"Yes, there are many," Ji Fenghua said, taking one out and showing it to Shang Xiye as proof.
"Holding it can ease your pain," Shang Xiye smiled gently at him, raising her finger to touch his brow.
Ji Fenghua offered no resistance, holding the magic crystal in her hand, and peacefully closed her eyes.
