"Master." Ye Su walked into the lobby and shouted.
Zhang Fengfeng looked back: "Your junior brother..."
"It's on." Ye Su walked over and pointed at the wall of life lights.
Zhang Fengfeng, who was about to cry: "?"
The two of them looked at Yi Xuan's life lamp. The originally bright golden light went out, and was replaced by a faint black light, which was shaky and seemed to be able to go out at any time.
"Why is it a black light?" Zhang Fengfeng looked closely at the life lamp in the glass lamp, but he still felt a little relieved in his heart, as long as it didn't go out, there was still hope.
Ye Su frowned and stared at Yi Xuan's life lamp. Was there something wrong with his half-demon bloodline
In the original novel, Junior Brother Yi eventually awakened his demonic veins and completely became a demon. Is this outcome still unavoidable now
"We shouldn't let him go alone." Zhang Fengfeng clenched his hands, regretting that he didn't go out with Yi Xuan.
"Master, it has already happened." Ye Su thought of Yi Xuan who was holding the Chongming Knife all the time. With the suppression of Chongming, he had always remained calm, and even his awkward personality had changed a lot. Who knows what happened this time that turned him into a demon. "I'll go find Junior Brother Yi."
"I'll go with you." Zhang Fengfeng said. The late stage of fusion is always stronger than the stage of transformation. He can't bear to see several of his disciples get into trouble one after another.
Ye Su refused: "Last time you said you wanted to refine a lightning-blocking magic weapon for Lu Jiu, so you should keep it in the sect. Now that the spiritual veins have returned and the spiritual energy in the sect has revived, she will be promoted soon and will need a magic weapon."
"…" Zhang Fengfeng said after a long silence, "If you encounter something wrong, come back first, don't try to be stubborn."
Ye Su nodded and turned back to the courtyard room. She pushed the door open and walked in quickly. The junior brother who was lying on the stone beside the pond was gone. She was startled and was about to jump down when she saw the spiritual pond ripple.
Ripples on the water continued to move towards her.
Ye Su stood on the shore of Lingtan, looking down at the ripples on the water. In less than a moment, the ripples hit the shore and returned.
In an instant, a person emerged from the water. His long black hair was soaked and scattered behind him. His hairpin had long gone somewhere. He was wearing a thin black robe that stuck to his body, and his cold white skin on his chest was faintly visible.
It’s my junior fellow apprentice.
When he was underwater, he saw Ye Su coming in. He swam over quietly, and when he was close to the edge of the spiritual pond, he broke out of the water and scooped a handful of water in his hand and splashed it at her.
Ye Su did not dodge, she even bent down, grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
The two of them were almost face to face. There was still water on Ye Su's face that he had splashed, which slowly rolled down and wet her collar along her neck. You Fushi was wet all over and pressed close to Ye Su. When he lowered his head, he could see water drops from a strand of hair on the side of his face falling onto her shoulder.
"Awake?" Ye Su took a step back, but did not let go of his junior brother's hand. He only asked, "I want to go find Yi Xuan. Do you want to go?"
You Fushi had just woken up not long ago and had been immersed in the spiritual world for a few days. It was rare that he was not so lazy, but the first thing Ye Su said was Yi Xuan.
“… Go.” You Fushi said reluctantly at last.
"Let's go now." Ye Su's spiritual power enveloped You Fushi and was about to steam his clothes dry when she suddenly realized something, "You changed your clothes?"
The clothes on the junior brother were different from the ones before she left.
He lowered his eyes to hide the panic that flashed through his mind. He took off his clothes when he sank into the water, and changed into his original form, swirling around in the pond for several times. He returned to his human form when he heard Ye Su's footsteps.
As for the original clothes... they had already sunk to the bottom of the pond.
To be more precise, at this moment, the thin black robe on his body was not new clothes, but made of scales.
Ye Su didn't hear his answer, so she lowered her head to look at the clothes of her junior apprentice brother. Before she could see clearly, You Fushi covered her eyes with his hands: "Go out, I'll change my clothes."
The eldest sister was even more confused.
If I remember correctly, a junior fellow student once wanted to take off his clothes in front of her.
"I'll go out first, you hurry up." Ye Su thought of Yi Xuan's life lamp, and without dwelling on this issue too much, she turned around and left the room.
You Fushi took a few steps forward, the water on his thin clothes evaporated and was absorbed, and the space in the room disappeared instantly.
"Yu Shoumen, we are going to look for Junior Brother Yi and will be back as soon as possible. Qianji Gate still needs your help." Ye Su messaged Yu Fenghai. She had not yet prepared the gate protection formation. If the Demon Lord came again like before, she didn't know how long she could hold out.
You Fushi came out of the room and tugged at the back of Ye Su's collar: "Alright."
Ye Su turned back: "Let's go."
She took out the teleportation scroll that Huang Erqian had given her earlier and took You Fu Shi directly to the gate of Zhanjin Sect.
Ye Su thought that something had happened to Yi Xuan here, but as soon as he arrived outside the Zhanjin Sect, he saw a commotion with people coming and going, and someone was blocking the gate and shouting.
"Didn't one of your elders go to Linquan City? Why didn't you go to rescue them?"
The disciple guarding the gate was probably impatient and said, "Linquan City has been invaded by the demon army. How can we, the weapon refiners, go to rescue it?"
Ye Su frowned and listened to these people talking, then she understood what was happening.
The teleportation point of Linquan City suddenly malfunctioned, and the life lamps of the last batch of cultivators who went there all went out. There were many cultivators from small sects. When their fellow disciples were left with nowhere else to go, they heard that the elder of Zhanjin Sect had also gone to Linquan City, so they went to Zhanjin Sect to ask for help.
Linquan City, beheading the elder of Jinzong...
Ye Su mixed into the crowd and pulled over a cultivator who was curious and obviously came to watch the show and asked, "Daoyou, which elder of Zhanjin Sect went to Linquan City?"
"Elder Fan." The other party waved his hand. "The Zhanjin Sect will definitely not rescue him. Elder Fan is not a direct descendant of the Zhanjin Sect. He is just a defector from the Qianji Sect..."
Before he could finish, the other party saw the three big characters "Qianjimen" on Ye Su's clothes.
"Thank you." Ye Su got the information he wanted, took You Fu Shi by the hand, opened the teleportation scroll, and disappeared into the crowd.
…
In Linquan City, all the monks were driven to the center of the city, surrounded by countless demon soldiers. Unlike those low-level demons that would come and bite, these demon soldiers were well-trained and only guarded their positions, staring at the monks in the center.
At this moment, the Demon Lord was in the central city, staring at Yi Xuan, whose breath was steady and long, and asked, "Why don't you open your eyes and look at your own kind?"
Yi Xuan, lying on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar roof beams. The red mole between his eyebrows was as bright as a drop of blood, and there seemed to be lingering pain in his throat as if he had been pierced by a finger.
The difference between their realms was too great, and Yi Xuan was unable to fight at all. He said slowly: "I am not of the same kind as you."
"My name is Diao." The woman stared at Yi Xuan with a pair of red eyes. "Who are you to Ping Shulan?"
Yi Xuan sat up slowly. He had never heard of Ping Shulan before, and his hand subconsciously touched the edge of the bed.
"Are you looking for it?" Diao appeared in front of Yi Xuan with his long braid hooked on the handle of the Chongming sword.
Yi Xuan rushed over instantly, trying to snatch back the Chongming Sword, but was hit on the chest by Diao's palm and fell onto the bed.
"Half human, half demon." Diao walked towards Yi Xuan, bent down and lifted his chin, "How could you disguise yourself in a broken sect for so long?"
Yi Xuan turned away and lowered his eyes: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Diao Zhi stood up and said in amazement: "The devil is bloodthirsty by nature, and he does what he wants. You have never noticed that something is wrong with you in all these years? I don't believe it."
Yi Xuan's fingers supporting himself on the ground trembled slightly, his peripheral vision fell on the Chongming Knife thrown down by the Demon Lord, and he spoke word by word, "I am a human."
"Human?" Diao sat on a chair nearby. "Can a human produce demonic energy to repair a broken Nascent Soul? Don't fool yourself."
Yi Xuan's jaw was extremely tight, and the voice that had not come out for a long time began to call out in his heart: "You are a demon, you are a demon..."
Over and over again.
"You have the blood of the Demon Lord in you, so I won't kill you." Diao swung his long braid, hooked the Chongming sword on the ground, and threw it to Yi Xuan, "Follow us after you become a demon."
Yi Xuan held the Chongming Sword, and for a moment he felt the sword resisting him, but when he tried to touch it again, the Chongming Sword accepted him as always.
"Who is Ping Shulan?" Yi Xuan suddenly looked up and asked Diao who was walking out of the door.
"Of course it's... our dead Demon Lord." Diao Zhuan looked back at Yi Xuan for a moment, then ordered the Demon Lord waiting outside, "Throw him into the blood pool."
When Yi Xuan heard the word "blood pool", his heart moved. All the sects had been looking for the blood pool this year, which was said to be the channel for the invasion of the demon army.
However, when he saw the real pool of blood, a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart.
These demon armies occupied Linquan City and built a huge blood pool in the center of the city. All captured monks were forced to bleed into the pool. The alchemy practitioners were responsible for refining pills and feeding them to the monks to prevent them from dying. After recuperation, they were bled again.
"Throw it in." Diao sat at the highest point and said to the two demon kings who were in charge of guarding Yi Xuan.
The blood pool was only one-third filled with blood, but even so, it was still taller than a person.
Yi Xuan was injured and unable to break free from the two demon kings. When he was thrown into the blood pool, he took the initiative to let go of the Chongming Sword and left it outside the blood pool.
Chongming's spirit was injured and he was a soldier of the Taisho era, so throwing him into a pool of blood would do more harm than good.
However, without the suppression of the Chongming Sword, after Yi Xuan, who was half-demon and had the blood of the Demon Lord, fell into the blood pool, the bloodthirsty instinct in his bones was instantly aroused.
Diao casually grabbed a monk and cut a deep gash on his shoulder, then threw him into the blood pool. He leaned over to look at Yi Xuan and whispered, "Eat him."
Yi Xuan could smell all kinds of blood in the entire blood pool, especially the struggling monk opposite him. He could even hear his heartbeat.
The voice hidden deep in her heart kept calling out to Yi Xuan, asking her to eat him and she would feel comfortable after eating him.
He is not a demon and does not want to be one.
I am just a disciple of Qianji Sect and Wujian Sect. In the future, I want to become the founding master of Qianji Sect, recruit a group of disciples, and strengthen Qianji Sect.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuan closed his eyes, entered a state of meditation in the pool of blood, and ignored the sounds and smells around him.
In the crowd, Fan Yangshui, who was pale and had been bled several times, frowned and looked at Yi Xuan in the pool of blood. She recognized this man; he was a disciple of the Qianji Sect and the Wujian Sect.
How is it related to the devil
Diao Buxi was displeased to see Yi Xuan's appearance, so he waved his finger lightly and killed the monk who fell into the blood pool.
The corpse floated in the pool of blood and hit Yi Xuan's legs, mixed with the blood in the pool, just like Asura Hell.
Even so, Yi Xuan never opened his eyes, and tried his best to resist the bloodthirsty rage that was aroused. He didn't want to be a person hated by his senior brothers and sisters in Qianjimen anymore.
He has Chongming's company, and in the future he will work with the eldest senior sister to revive the Qianji Sect. The second master still has many moves to teach him.
He can’t become a demon, he doesn’t want to become one.
