Warning 1519
at me, as if seeking my opinion. I was a bit embarrassed, but I couldn't go against my brother's face. After all, it was my brother who said he was coming to eat at home."Welcome, Young Master Situ,...Jiang Qiyun is a primordial deity, born with a cold and detached nature. Because he governs the underworld, he has become indifferent to the cycle of life and death. Therefore, he views all people and things with a certain degree of detachment.
Before, I didn't understand. I thought he was cold and aloof. Later, as I slowly got used to him, I started to feel his emotions in the subtle details.
He rarely showed strong emotional fluctuations towards someone or something. To see him furrow his brows with a hint of an indescribable "displeasure" when mentioning a revered deity was extremely rare.
To be honest, even though he keeps complaining about how annoying Lord Jingxing is, he doesn't really hate him.
"That... is there something wrong with the Southern Heaven Demon Emperor" I asked softly.
"... I don't know, all in all he's a troublesome character. Now it seems to be related to the Demonic Realm's Spirit Guardian True Talisman. This talisman might have been lost in the human world eight hundred years ago. That corpse demon should be connected to it, which is why Yin Su Bai is pursuing him so relentlessly."
He hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s probably because the real talisman controlling the demon realm has been out of circulation for hundreds of years, causing some demons to become restless. The demon realm has never been a place where reason prevails anyway.”
Yes, yes, Chong Mo has already said "hit" is enough.
"Then...what if I meet the subordinates of Emperor Nan Tian" I asked cautiously.
"Run, or do you want to fight" Jiang Qiyun glared at me. "Yin Su Bai is the Venerable of the Demon Realm, he knows right from wrong, but that doesn't mean other Demon Emperors are like him."
"There's no escaping the palm of your hand, no matter how hard I try," I muttered under my breath.
Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow slightly: "Then stay obediently by my side."
"You wouldn't go to the Palace of the Underworld with me, and you couldn't stay put in the Yinjingshen Palace. You're restless even in the mortal world. You don't feel at home among the mountains and rivers of the Shen family, and you rarely return to your own hidden residence. How come you're so restless"
... Oops ...
"I... This isn't what the ancestors said about preaching to the world Reading ten thousand books also means traveling ten thousand miles! This is cultivation." I spoke eloquently.
Jiang Qiyun let out a light chuckle: "Is it Zhang Tian師 or Ge Tian師 who said this Why don't I invite someone to clear up your confusion for you"
Oh no, no, no. I'm just an ordinary person. How could I possibly be worthy to listen to the masters discuss scriptures
Jiang Qiyun put me at the exit of the Dharma gate and said faintly, “I think you are bound.”
"Huh What's tied up"
"That title of Special Advisor, does it truly satisfy you enough to travel so tirelessly This time is a perfect opportunity for your cultivation. To not focus on your path is a waste, wouldn't you agree" Jiang Qiyun seemed to be hinting at something deeper.
Is it still a good time for cultivation
The demon spirit within this zombie has manifested, and who knows what chaos it will unleash. How can I possibly stay out of the fray
I looked at Jiang Qiyun with suspicion.
Seeing that I didn't understand, he leaned in slightly and whispered into my ear—
"...A trial among mortals."
》》》
That is to say, when demons descend upon the mortal world, although it will cause turmoil and chaos, is it also a time for cultivators to cultivate their minds and spirits, remaining unmoved by demonic influences and achieving enlightenment
"You go find someone, I'll wait for you in the Dharma Gate. We mustn't alarm anyone." He said softly.
Before I could think further, Jiang Qiyun gently pushed me forward, and I instantly "fell" out of the temple door.
A sinister aura suddenly surged, spreading through the darkness like wisps of smoke.
Here, it was dark, save for a single lamp on a large table in the distance, surrounded by shadow.
At first glance, I saw Da Bao and Cao Shi huddled in the corner. The two of them sat at a small round table, staring blankly at the long table in the distance.
I crouched low, hugging the wall as I crept up behind them. I settled down beside a chair and whispered, “What’s going on Why is everyone so quiet”
"...Oh, I've already gambled." Dabao said in a low voice.
His tone was flat and languid, which was out of place.
I quickly glanced at Cao Shi, and found him with his eyes downcast and mouth shut, his hands hanging limply, completely without the movements of a spell-casting incantation.
A cold voice suddenly rang out behind me—
"...Miss, the event has ended. How did you get in"
My hairs stood on end, and I reacted too quickly by taking out two talismans for warding off evil spirits. I slapped them onto Da Bao and Cao Shi's arms!
And I rolled forward effortlessly, from under the table to the opposite side.
Across the table, I looked up and saw a man with black mist behind him staring at me. He walked towards me a few steps.
"Dabao, Cao Shi!" I pointed my finger and the dark fire immediately engulfed the talisman.
"Ouch, ouch!" Dabao woke up instantly and punched the man in the face. Waving his hand, he exclaimed, "You almost burned me to death! Little Miss came just in time! This isn't—"
Before he could finish his sentence, the man lunged at him. Dabao dodged quickly, pinning the man down and stuffing a tablecloth into his mouth!
I looked around, and the people in the darkness were motionless, still staring blankly at that long table in the distance.
What is on the long table
My close-fitting pouch is ordinary and worn, but inside it are talismans and magical artifacts that are my protection against evil spirits. There's nothing better suited for this purpose.
This small, heavy Ruyi charm, when activated with true incantations, can manifest swordlight.
The sword glow tore through the surrounding darkness. I pointed the blade towards the long table in the distance, and the darkness parted like a curtain being lifted, revealing a corner of the painting!
What the heck is that
A huge, shapeless gray mass of flesh, its surface crisscrossed with a dense network of blue and red veins!
The sharp aura seemed to pierce the writhing mass, suddenly splitting open a gap, an evil pupil stared at me!
"Ah...!!" I was so startled that I took a few steps back and bumped into another round table!
Rui's sharp blade slightly deviated from the long table in the distance, and the enormous meaty lump closed its eyes again.
What the heck!
Big eyes like little hills
As soon as the blade pointed towards the long table, the meatball opened its eyes. Its pupils were long and thin like a venomous snake's, gleaming with dark blood-red light that seemed to ripple constantly, as if it would overflow at any moment!
But putting the Ruyi down and looking again, the long table was empty!
And the people around were dazed and vacant, watching with a fervent and frenzied gaze fixed upon the stage.
"Little Empress! Don't look!" Cao Shi rubbed his head and reminded, "This thing is sinister! Like a demon possession, I almost couldn't escape!"
Huh I've already looked, I don't feel like anything is wrong with me.
"Where's that old boy, Yanjia!" Da Bao pointed to the few tables ahead. "This so-called gambling den is probably used by someone to train their men. I just played a few rounds, and my mind is filled with images of bloodshed and extravagance..."
"The people around here… are all possessed Is there no one normal left"
"Normal people are all these controlled ones—" Dabao pressed down hard on the little brother under him.
The kid behind had a layer of black mist, like the curtain of a puppet, but he was definitely still alive. I couldn't kill him, could I!
Here it is like a theater-sized space. If it were usually this lively, we would have been the target of everyone's attention long ago. But now there isn't a single person moving normally around us
My exorcism and purification talismans aren't this many either!
"Little Empress, grab the person and leave!" Dabao reminded me.
Okay, no time to waste. Let's take that old boy Yan first.
I crouched down and ran to Lao Yan's side, grabbing his arm and looking around, ready to run away.
There don't seem to be many "living people" here.
Isn't the guard so lax
Dabo knocked that man unconscious, then immediately came to help me drag him away. Cao Shi didn't even forget about the gambling money, watching as those crates of cash flew with us. It was both exhilarating and amusing.
After all, he is a gambler who specializes in winning money. Losing money is simply losing "professional dignity" for him.
"After they started gambling here, all the guards outside were withdrawn. It's probably because that eye's control ability is too strong, with enough power to control the situation! And they are worried that the people outside will discover the secret here…" Dabao struggled to drag Lao Yan.
I pulled open the heavy soft package door. There are three layers of such doors here!
Cao Shi and Da Bao walked out of the first-floor door. I used my back to prop up the door, and desperately called out Ru Yi again.
I want to see clearly what this is.
"The Palace of the Nine Heavens, Supreme Jade Pure King..."
At the very beginning of this precious decree, a sharp and piercing "curtain" was torn open, revealing within it a colossal eye that immediately narrowed to a slit—
A wicked gleam flashed in his eyes, and those sharp pupils immediately swept towards me!
Not only that, but dark blood also oozed from the bulging edges of his eyes, dripping onto the floor. The person sitting closest was drenched head to toe in it.
"Ah..." I was taken aback by the sight.
Suddenly, the man covered in blood sprung up and lunged at me!
I can't retreat! Dabao is still opening the second layer of the door! We can't let the danger pass!
He was mad, like a body engulfed in flames, hurtling towards me with pain and frenzy.
This is a living person! Will the sword edge of the Purple Violet Lily wound his soul!
The moment I hesitated, Jiang Qiyun's robe of indigo blue suddenly appeared before me.
His back was as dark as ink, and he raised his hand coldly.
"Qiyun, this is a living person—"
"Hm." he replied coldly.
As soon as the words left his mouth, his two slender fingers snapped. A burst of energy, like a bullet, sent the person flying with a "bang"!
"Goodness gracious! It flew all the way to the back of the long table!"
"Be gentle!" I tugged at his arm and ran outside.
Jiang Qiyun coldly narrowed his eyes and turned back to the giant eyeball hidden behind the "curtain" on the table.
His tone was icy, as if warning someone.
"Who let these mindless things... get ideas about hurting you."antee that Mu Wanchen is not a bad person. He knows his limits, and he has a good temper. He won't deceive you... As for the rest, I can't say for sure. I haven't had much interaction with the residen...
