The "Fire Trees and Silver Flowers in the Nightless Sky" at Zhenyu Peak was specially prepared to celebrate the eldest disciple Liu Yanbai's victory in the first place.
But now, let alone winning the first place, he was simply crushed to pieces. In such a tragic contrast, their advance preparations became a huge joke.
But Meng Cangyu was still unwilling to let Zhen Yufeng go, and walked towards them ostentatiously with a group of disciples - it was not that Meng Cangyu was deliberately ostentatious, but Chu Danfeng was too dazzling just now, and wherever he went, everyone's eyes followed.
Meng Cangyu stopped to greet him and said, "Brother Bai, I haven't congratulated you yet on your disciple's successful extraction of a top-grade spiritual sword."
Bai Cangshan snorted coldly, as if he wanted to say something to save his reputation, but before he could think of a good remark, the third disciple Huang Changtian, who was following behind Meng Cangyu, took the opportunity to add insult to injury: "Uncle Bai, why did you prepare so many drums, music, and fireworks before the festival even begins?"
Bai Cangshan: “…”
As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face. This question is like tap dancing in muddy boots on Zhen Yufeng's face. Bai Cangshan was so angry that his beard was shaking. He flicked his sleeves and cursed at Liu Yanbai: "You disgraceful thing, why don't you get out of here!"
Liu Yanbai has always regarded himself as the 'senior brother' and often manages the affairs of the peak on behalf of his master. He has never heard such a harsh rebuke, especially in front of so many people. He was already so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and now he was even more embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and retreated with a red face.
But the disciples around were just watching the fun and some even started to boo.
Indeed, Liu Yanbai was the first person who was treated like this after pulling out a top-grade spiritual sword from the top 100.
Meng Cangyu did not add insult to injury and hurriedly brought his disciples back to Lixu Peak - except Fang Qingya. After seeing Chu Danfeng display his prowess, Fang Qingya decided to turn back and try again to see if he could pull out a magic sword.
On Lixu Peak, in the bamboo house, Sixth Junior Brother Hua Tingxuan was still unconscious with a high fever. His chubby little face was red and his brows were furrowed. After taking his pulse, Ye Bailu shook his head at them.
Chu Danfeng blamed himself very much.
“I was the one who brought my little junior brother to the mountain, but he became like this…” He can’t even take care of a child, which really betrayed the trust of Master.
Meng Cangyu said, "It's my fault that I agreed to it in the first place... No one could have expected such a thing. Xiaowu, don't worry. I have already sent someone to invite your uncle Xiao, he is a master of healing."
But before Xiao Cangwu arrived, a deacon disciple arrived first.
Your disciple bowed respectfully to Meng Cangyu and stated his purpose - the master wanted to see Chu Danfeng.
This incident was not unexpected to them. Meng Cangyu only told Chu Danfeng: "Don't be afraid. Just answer the questions of the head master truthfully."
Qianlian Peak is a twin peak. The meeting hall, lecture hall, and the main hall of the master are on the front peak, while the residence of Lin Cangfeng, the master of Shuangji Sect, is on the back peak.
Chu Danfeng thought he would go to the main hall or the meeting hall of the headmaster, but he did not expect that the deacon disciple would directly bring him to Lin Cangfeng's "Yufengzhai". Chu Danfeng thought that he was not yet familiar with the headmaster to the point where they could have a long talk in his residence. There was only one reason for this - the matter of Hundred Ghosts Valley was of great importance.
Chu Danfeng followed Meng Cangyu's instructions and told the head master everything he knew. Lin Cangfeng should be over a hundred years old, but he looks like a thin middle-aged man with deep cheekbones, which makes him look particularly stern.
He listened to Chu Danfeng's description, and after a long pause, he asked, "Do you know where Ghost Yue Lao is now?"
Chu Danfeng shook his head blankly. Is Ghost Yue Lao missing
He thought the head master would ask more questions, but he saw him rubbing his brows and said, "Forget it, go ahead."
Chu Danfeng: “???” Is that the end
You know, in the previous life, the forbidden area was almost destroyed, and Chu Danfeng was punished severely. He was beaten with a stick and had to stay in bed for half a month. But now, even the Ghost Yue Lao who guarded the forbidden area was missing. How could the uncle let him go so easily? Didn't he even plan to interrogate him carefully again
Chu Danfeng felt more and more that there must be some unspeakable secret. "Master, I would like to ask you, who is the origin of Ghost Yue Lao?"
"Since you have obtained the 'Soul Writing Spirit', it is your chance." Lin Cangfeng answered irrelevantly, and then said, "The transformed snake has been guarding the treasure for many years, just to find its owner. The matter of chance is very mysterious. No matter what the process is, as long as it is willing to give it to you, you don't have to think too much about it."
“Dan Feng, you are now considered the strongest junior in the sect, but your golden elixir has not been repaired yet. I heard from your master that you are using Yaolang Fujin Grass? That is a rare treasure, yes. But just repairing it is not enough, you need stronger spiritual power to match that spirit weapon... Wait until the next demon market opens, take my leader’s order to cross the boundary monument and find a good demon elixir... As for what you saw and heard in the Hundred Ghosts Valley, don’t mention it to anyone else except your master and me. You are a smart child, remember it?”
After Lin Cangfeng finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and waved his hand, as if to see the guest off.
Chu Danfeng answered "yes" hesitantly and turned around obediently.
Lin Cangfeng ignored Chu Danfeng and lowered his eyes to look at the fragrant tea in the cup, muttering to himself: "The shattering of the golden elixir may be your opportunity. With the emergence of talented disciples, our Shuangji Sect should prosper forever."
Even though he increasingly suspected that there might be something fishy going on, as a person who only wanted to retire and enjoy his old age, Chu Danfeng didn't want to know too many secrets. As a vested interest, the wisest thing for him to do was to protect himself.
No matter how you think about it, you shouldn't ask any more questions.
Chu Danfeng held the bamboo peach blossom fan and walked out step by step. Just as he was about to step out of the gate, the deacon disciple was already waiting outside the door, holding a crane in his hand, ready to send him back to Lixu Peak.
But…
Chu Danfeng turned around in one go, strode back to the porch of Yufengzhai, and said loudly: "Ghost Yue Lao has harmed countless people, why can Shuangji Sect tolerate him until now? Wanjian Peak... is it really relying on him to absorb the essence of the disciples to maintain its spiritual power?"
But… If it is true as Qiu Cangyun said, every time the barrier is opened, there will be a disciple in trouble, how many lives will be lost! He accepted the beatings and punishments, and the peaceful life gained by "not saving people in danger" was not comfortable for him!
Lin Cangfeng was indeed angry: "Where did you come up with this nonsense?!"
Chu Danfeng stiffened his neck and said, "If Master Master doesn't explain clearly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to obey your orders. I still have to tell you what I saw and heard in the Hundred Ghosts Valley."
"You are so brave!"
Chu Danfeng was actually already scared, but since he had already spoken, it might be even worse if he gave in halfway, so he mustered up the courage to look Lin Cangfeng in the face.
It was Lin Cangfeng who was defeated first: "... Forget it, think about it carefully, if the sect really wants to use the lives of disciples to maintain the spiritual power of Wanjian Peak, why would they have to warn you not to go out at night?"
Chu Danfeng: “…” Yes.
Lin Cangfeng: "As for 'Ghost Yue Lao', there is another secret behind this matter, but I can't tell you youngsters, it's not the right time yet. It has disappeared now, so you don't have to worry."
Although what the head master said made sense, after leaving and thinking about it again, he always felt that something was wrong... However, after stepping into the bamboo house on Lixu Peak, Chu Danfeng no longer had the heart to worry about it - there were a room full of people standing in the bamboo house, each one more serious than the other.
In addition to the master, Ye Bailu and Huang Changtian, there was also a young man in a white robe, who was none other than their twelfth uncle Xiao Cangwu who was proficient in medicine. The atmosphere was so serious that even the little kid Lin Shuer who had come over at some point didn't dare to make a loud noise. She quietly tugged at her senior sister's sleeve, and looked slack-mindedly at Hua Tingxuan who was "sleeping" on the bed.
"Xiaowu, you're back just in time." Meng Cangyu said, "Xuan'er's condition is not optimistic. The only way now is to seek help from outside forces..."
Uncle Twelve continued, "The damage to the soul can be serious or minor. If it lasts too long and causes the soul and body to separate, I'm afraid there's no way to save him... The easiest but also the most difficult way is for someone to wake him up. But your Sixth Junior Brother is still young, and he may not be able to bear it if someone enters his sea of consciousness rashly. You once borrowed his opportunity - the Yaolang Fujin Grass - so it would be best if you could go there."
Speaking of which, this kid is truly a filial and well-behaved child in this life. Moreover, he was injured when they were out together, so Chu Danfeng naturally did not refuse.
This time, he took Chu Danfeng's fingertips' blood, mashed the flowers and leaves of Yaolang Fujin Grass, and fed them to the two of them to share. Under the guidance of Xiao Cangwu's spiritual energy, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
It was not the first time that Chu Danfeng had fallen asleep under the influence of Yaolang Fujin Grass, but his previous dreams were nothing more than two scenes. One was a luxurious and gorgeous dark room, where the adult version of Hua Tingxuan, who looked crazy and strange, molested him, and the other was that he was recuperating in a bamboo house after being punished in his previous life. However, that dream was different from his memory. The little boy who changed his dressings and the second sister who came to visit him every day were nowhere to be seen. Instead, the young version of Hua Tingxuan appeared. Although the young Hua Tingxuan's words were still awkward, he was actually taking care of him.
I don't know what I will dream about this time. If I can choose, I hope it will be the latter. After all, the adult version of Dahua seems to be a little more perverted. It may be difficult to wake him up.
Chu Danfeng prepared himself mentally, opened his eyes with ease, and then... froze.
What new scene is this?!
Why didn't anyone tell him that the dream scene could be upgraded to 3.0?
And compared to the previous one, this dream is too... costly, right?!
It was a sea of blood and corpses.
The scene was so grand that Chu Danfeng's legs were sore from walking, but he still hadn't seen Hua Tingxuan, or in other words, he hadn't seen a single living person breathing.
Everywhere I looked, there was scorched earth with thick smoke billowing out, dead trees and broken branches, and people who had died in various ways. Most of the bodies were so rotten that their features were blurred and unrecognizable, but among the remains that could be barely recognized, there were actually some familiar faces.
There is Li Ban who framed Chu Danfeng and caused his golden elixir to shatter, and there is Liu Yanbai, the first disciple of Zhenyu Peak who has a promising future.
The deaths were more miserable than each other. Chu Danfeng swallowed his saliva and thought with lingering fear: What is going on? Could it be that he dreamed that the Shuangji Sect was wiped out
Not far away, a skeleton-like creature crawled out from a pool of bubbling blood.
This should be the first living thing Chu Danfeng saw in his dream. It should be... a living thing, right
One of the "skeleton's" arms had exposed white bones, but there was still flesh and blood on his body. After he crawled out, the flesh grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his body lines were smooth, he was lean and strong, and he was very powerful, but his skin looked particularly white and delicate against the backdrop of the stained blood.
… is actually the young version of Hua Tingxuan!
"Dahua's" body was bleeding and reorganizing at the same time, which should have been extremely painful, but he didn't even frown and sat down beside a man in black robe without any care.
The black-robed man was wearing a hood, so his face could not be seen clearly. But when he opened his mouth, he spoke in a very familiar hoarse old voice: "Every time you jump into the blood pool, you have to endure the pain of being tortured to death, over and over again... Is it worth it for you to suffer like this for him?"
Chu Danfeng was shocked when he heard it—that was Ghost Yue Lao’s voice!
Why did the disappeared Ghost Yue Lao appear in his dream? !
Hua Tingxuan said lazily: "Stop talking nonsense, I am happy to do it."
Ghost Yue Lao lifted his hood, revealing his jackal claws and tearful face, and shouted in a heart-wrenching voice: "If you want, you can jump by yourself. Why drag me along with you?!"
