The last time Zhu Changyang accidentally saved Yu Sigong in the Unnamed Domain, he felt that he was a little strange. His words and actions were very defensive towards Elder Hou and his son, even to the point of... fear.
But after all, it was another faction's business, so Zhu Changyang was not in a position to interfere. He just said hello to Changchun Tower and asked Hua Guangbai to help treat Yu Sigong, which was also to ensure Yu Sigong's safe return.
Hearing that Yu Sigong was being hunted again, Zhu Changyang quickly connected the two things.
Seeing that he had guessed the truth, Yu Sigong stopped hiding it and continued hesitantly, "Actually, when we were in danger in the Unnamed Domain last time, I felt something was not right..."
Hou Shiyun attached great importance to the ranking in the competition. Since entering the Weiming Domain, he would take the beast core of every monster he hunted for himself first.
That day, he suddenly became concerned about Yu Sigong's grades, and contrary to his usual behavior, he took the initiative to offer to take Yu Sigong alone to find the monster.
Unexpectedly, not long after the two of them left the main group, they accidentally got separated, and then Yu Sigong was attacked.
The person who attacked him had extremely high cultivation level, and Yu Sigong was no match for him at all. He wanted to use the teleportation talisman to leave, but found that the teleportation talisman he had placed in the mustard seed bag was missing.
"Since entering the Weiming Domain, I have always carried the mustard seed bag with me. I only took it to check it once when Senior Brother Hou asked me to count the number of beast pills." Yu Sigong said.
Without the teleportation talisman, he could only escape desperately and contact his fellow disciples with the copper ball for voice transmission.
But the strange thing was that no matter how he hid, the thief could always find his location accurately.
Yu Sigong was very puzzled at first, but soon he discovered a pattern.
Every time the thief found him, it was just after the copper ball of sound transmission had sounded.
Yu Sigong was frightened and threw the copper ball. As expected, he escaped from the thief's pursuit and bought a chance to catch his breath.
Hearing this, Wanli Zheng seemed to understand something: "You mean, Elder Hou violated the rules and entered the Unnamed Domain not to save you, but to kill you?"
Yu Sigong nodded. "When I fought with that man, I realized that his skills were very familiar, as if they were from the same lineage as mine. But it was just a guess, I'm not sure..."
From then on, the seeds of doubt were planted in Yu Sigong's heart. After leaving the Weiming Realm and returning to Yongzhou Heaven, he became wary of Elder Hou and his son, and under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, he stayed close to his master.
This time when he went to Kunlun to participate in the competition, he stayed at Wenxin Peak the whole time and did not dare to go out alone.
However, he was outnumbered and ultimately failed to escape.
"This doesn't make sense, does it?" Qiao Muxing was incredulous. "Elder Hou is your senior master, why would he do such a cruel thing to you?"
Yu Sigong glanced at Zhu Changyang, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "I guess he wants to seize my spiritual roots."
When these words were spoken, everyone was greatly surprised.
Zhu Changyang suddenly realized the reason and his face darkened: "I would like to hear the details."
Yu Sigong said that since he was victimized last time, he had been secretly investigating Elder Hou and his son, but unfortunately he had never been able to find any evidence. However, he discovered another thing in the process.
"I discovered from the sect's roster that Senior Brother Hou had never had his spiritual roots tested when he was a child..."
It is said that Hou Shiyun was born into an immortal family, so it is entirely possible for him to test his spiritual roots at birth, but the first public record of his spiritual roots being tested was actually five years ago.
After discovering this, Yu Sigong checked Yong Zhoutian's weapon refining records over the years and discovered that Hou Shiyun's performance in weapon refining had always been mediocre when he was a child. The magic weapons he refined were very ordinary, not as good as some of his junior brothers with middle-grade spiritual roots. On the contrary, he performed better in swordsmanship.
It was not until five years ago that Hou Shiyun suddenly became enlightened. He made rapid progress in weapon refining and soon became famous in the Nine Regions.
Coincidentally, before that, something else happened in Yong Zhoutian.
Elder Hou, who had not accepted any disciples for many years, suddenly made an exception that year and accepted a disciple with extremely strong talent. However, fate played a trick on him. Not long after, the disciple's spiritual roots were dug out and he became a useless person.
However, the disciple came from a humble background, so although everyone felt sorry for him, they did not investigate further and the matter soon came to nothing.
Having said that, Yu Sigong looked at Zhu Changyang again, "Master Zhu, I think you should have guessed what happened."
Zhu Changyang's face was as cold as frost, and he slowly uttered two words: "Understanding."
Yu Sigong deduced that Hou Shiyun was not born with two top-grade spiritual roots, but a single spiritual root that was only good at swordsmanship.
As a major weapon refining sect, it is impossible for Yong Zhoutian to allow a swordsman to reach the pinnacle of power.
This means that Hou Shiyun can either leave Yong Zhoutian and join the Sword Sect, or... change his fate.
It was obvious that Elder Hou had chosen to let him stay in the sect and take over the ready-made power, and he had planned and planned this matter carefully, even at the cost of his life.
But the cultivation of Taoism emphasizes the laws of nature, and forcibly transplanted spiritual roots are always different from natural ones.
During these five years, Hou Shiyun had experienced several meridian blockages, aura reversals, and he almost went insane. His fellow disciples thought it was because he was not careful in his cultivation, but now it seems that it is very likely that the spiritual root of Jie Li is not integrated, which makes it difficult to transform and absorb the spiritual energy absorbed from the outside world.
There is also another strange thing.
About two years ago, after Hou Shiyun's meridians were blocked again, Elder Hou sent people to Buchendi to try to persuade Baigongmen to join Yongzhoutian and become Yongzhoutian's subordinates. He also offered Chang Chunwu quite generous treatment.
You must know that Baigongmen and Yongzhoutian are not sects of the same level at all. Whether in terms of sphere of influence, weapon refining level or the quality of disciples, they are far inferior to Yongzhoutian and are of no help to the development of Yongzhoutian at all.
The only thing worth mentioning is the unique skill, which is also the foundation of Baigong Sect. It is the method of transforming spiritual power that was later used to refine spiritual power batteries.
But Chang Chun Wu Ji was so stubborn that he rejected the olive branch extended by Elder Hou.
For this reason, Hou Shiyun was extremely angry and even vowed to teach Baigongmen a lesson.
Hearing this, Zhu Changyang suddenly remembered something, and in an instant he understood everything. He slapped the table and said, "He is Shi Hou!"
At this point, everything finally connected.
In order to solve the complications that Hou Shiyun suffered after the operation, Elder Hou tried to acquire Baigongmen and obtain its exclusive patent.
However, Chang Chunwu simply disdained to become a vassal of a wealthy family, and the merger and acquisition plan failed.
So Hou Shiyun changed his name to Shi Hou and disguised himself to participate in the recruitment of Baigongmen, thinking that with his outstanding dual spiritual root talents, he would definitely get an offer, and then he could seize the opportunity to steal the patent.
Unexpectedly, Chang Chunwu saw through his character and turned him away.
Later, Baigongmen was revived with the help of spiritual batteries and flashlights, and it was even more impossible for it to be acquired again.
Hou Shiyun's problem has not been solved, and its condition has become worse in the past two years, so he has no choice but to look for replacement organs.
In this way, many things that happened before were explained.
No wonder the spiritual tassel of good law refined by Hou Shiyun is so similar to the sword tassel refined by Jun Shu in Baigongmen, because it was simply copied from Jun Shu's model.
It was no wonder that Hou Shiyun had murderous intent when he first saw Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu in Changping Territory. It turned out that they had an old grudge against each other.
Zhu Changyang had actually long suspected the relationship between Hou Shiyun and "Shi Hou", but because the incident happened a long time ago and they didn't really suffer any loss, they were too lazy to pursue the matter further.
But if it involves the spiritual roots of dissection, then it is of a completely different nature.
"How dare you harm my senior brother!" Li Ying was furious, and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "I'm going over right now and cut that Hou guy into pieces!"
Jun raised his hand and said, "No."
Li Ying was indignant: "Director, it has come to this, should we still show mercy to others?"
He threw his sleeves and said, "If that's the case, I'd rather not be a good person!"
"No, you may not be able to beat that guy surnamed Hou." Jun Shu's expression was indifferent, and he continued, "I will do it myself."
The developer was digging at the air: "Meow meow meow!"
Xuan Yang and his people shared the same hatred for the enemy: "Kill, kill, kill!"
"Wait a moment." Zhu Changyang rubbed his brows and managed to stay calm for a while. "We need to think about this matter carefully."
He also wanted to settle the score with Elder Hou immediately, but at the moment all these were just speculations and there was no real evidence.
After all, Elder Hou is not an ordinary person, and he has the entire Yongzhoutian behind him.
Acting rashly is not a good idea.
Jun Shu looked at him, "What do you want to do?"
Zhu Changyang's eyes were gloomy, "Let's go back and find Jie Li first."
After all, the person involved is Jie Li, and it should be discussed with him and the decision should be made by him.
Jun Shu nodded: "Okay."
Yu Sigong shuddered and said timidly, "I, I don't want to go back..."
"Don't worry." Zhu Changyang gave him a comforting look, "I won't let you go back for the time being."
Yu Sigong had no evidence to support his words, so it would be useless for him to go back. Instead, it would arouse Elder Hou's vigilance. It would be better for him to stay in the Demon Realm to recuperate.
Yu Sigong was worried, "But, if Elder Hou knows that I entered Ruowang City and comes after me again, what should I do?"
Zhu Changyang turned to look at Yin Kanwei: "Brother Yin, it looks like I have to trouble you."
"No problem." Yin Kanwei made an OK gesture, "I will take good care of him."
Yu Sigong was stunned: "What, what do you mean?"
Yin Kanwei glanced at him and said, "You will live in the Demon Palace from now on. I will send someone to protect you."
Yu Sigong:
Wait, he knew that Zhu Changyang and Yin Kanwei seemed to have a good relationship, but was it good enough to allow him to live in the Demon Palace and enjoy the protection of the demon cultivators
No, he is a righteous person, how can he be protected by the evil ones
What if Yin Kanwei gets possessed by evil and goes back on his word
Qiao Muxing listened to the whole story and felt very sympathetic towards Yu Sigong. Seeing that he was worried, he kindly comforted him, "Don't worry, the Nine-Direction Sect Leader and the Dharma Protector Yin are very kind people, and they will definitely treat you well."
Yu Sigong:?
Is this person a fake
How could a righteous disciple say such a thing
He couldn't help but turn his head slowly and look towards Wanli Zheng, the light of righteousness.
Wan Lizheng thought he was asking for advice, so he nodded and said, "The environment in the Demon Palace is very good, and living there is no worse than Kunlun."
Yu Sigong:
Who are you
Why pretend to be our hope for a righteous future!
