Nightfall.
Lonemoon told the two of them what he had heard in the morning.
"That fiendish cultivator who can use the dark fire knows Tian Ji?" Yi Qing paused.
"I'm afraid it's not just that." Lonemoon shook his head. "From what the intruder said, the two of them had already fought. Tian Ji even seemed injured. The demonic Qi on his body earlier must have something to do with this fiendish cultivator."
"So he appeared this time to seek revenge on Tian Ji?" Chef frowned. "If that's the case, why didn't he go straight to Gui Yi Sect? Why did he hide in this small city and even kill a Nascent Soul elder?" Wasn't he trying to attract attention by creating so much hatred? Or did this fiendish cultivator really think he was invincible?
"Maybe he's not seeking revenge?" Shen Ying suddenly said.
The two of them paused. What did she mean?
"If he's not seeking revenge, why is he doing this?" Lonemoon blurted out. "He came all the way to Gui Yi Sect's immortal city. Could he be fleeing …"
He paused halfway through his sentence. His eyes widened. "You're not going to say that he didn't go to Gui Yi Sect to cause trouble, but escaped from Gui Yi Sect, are you?"
"Mm." Shen Ying took a bite of her fruit. "Isn't it obvious?"
"Holy shit!" How was it obvious?
He thought about the broadcast carefully and realized that it was really possible. Shu Yi seemed to have known about the dark fire from the start and wanted to collect it for her own use. Tian Ji even gave her a Dharma artifact specially used to deal with the fiendish cultivator. They were too well-prepared. If that wasn't because they were very familiar with the fiendish cultivator, what was it? Initially, he thought that it was because Tian Ji had fought with the fiendish cultivator. Now, it seemed that it wasn't just that. Shu Yi's confident look clearly showed that she did not think much of the fiendish cultivator.
A Golden Core cultivator was not afraid of a fiendish cultivator who was at least a Nascent Soul cultivator. That proved that she had absolute confidence that the fiendish cultivator would not be able to hurt her. Perhaps it wasn't just because of the system. In other words, the biggest possibility was that the fiendish cultivator was also seriously injured. This injury was obviously caused by Tian Ji. However, they had been in Gui Yi Sect for so long. However, he had never sensed a demonic cultivator barging in, let alone a Deity Transformation cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was impossible for there to be no movement at all.
All these years, Tian Ji had never left Gui Yi Sect. When did they fight?
If it wasn't recently, it was definitely before they entered Gui Yi Sect. That would be interesting. They had been in Gui Yi Sect for a few years now. Zhong Yi had been seriously injured for so many years, but he had not recovered at all. Even a Golden Essence cultivator was not afraid of him. That was impossible. Unless … someone was watching him at all times, not letting him recover!
This person was none other than Tian Ji.
In other words, Zhong Yi might have been in Gui Yi Sect from the start. He appeared in Yuan Yang City, not to find trouble with Gui Yi Sect, but to escape from Gui Yi Sect!
"Why would Tian Ji capture a fiendish cultivator and hide him in the sect?" Lonemoon did not understand. Was this man crazy? "Fiendish cultivators and Dao cultivators have completely different systems. Furthermore, he's a Soul Formation cultivator. What could a Nascent Soul fiendish cultivator have that he covets …" He stopped mid-sentence as he suddenly thought of something. "It's the Nether Fire!" He almost forgot that he was a core cultivator. Didn't he need the Nether Fire?
No wonder Yu Luan and Tian Yi often complained about this Soul Formation Uncle-Master. He was arrogant and did not care about anything in the sect. Not only did he not accept disciples, he did not even help to refine the pills in the sect. Only Tian Yi had a hard time refining pills every day.
Now that he thought about it, it was not that he did not want to refine pills. It was because he had not completely refined the Nether Fire on the fiendish cultivator. That was why he could not refine pills and could not kill him. He did not accept disciples probably because he was afraid that others would find traces of the fiendish cultivator.
The key was that he seemed to have failed! Not only did he escape, he almost became a fiendish cultivator.
The more Lonemoon thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. This invader really found a good backer that was similar to him? Almost as unlucky!
"The invader went out!" Yi Qing suddenly said.
Lonemoon was stunned. He immediately said, "Follow him."
The three of them flashed and disappeared from the house in the next moment. They were about to follow Shu Yi's aura when they realized that the aura was suddenly cut off. The three of them lost their direction.
Lonemoon's face darkened. He knew that it was the system's doing. How were they going to find her now? Just as they were thinking about whether to split up and look for her, an especially clear broadcast sounded in the sky above the silent immortal city. It immediately pointed the direction for the three of them.
"Host, I have already shielded all your aura. No one can find you now."
The three of them who had already found her: "…"
They had never seen such a cooperative invader.
(⊙o⊙)
The three of them flew over. Indeed, they saw Shu Yi who was about to leave the city. The strange thing was that she was not heading towards the forest in the east where the Nether Fire appeared. Instead, she was heading in the opposite direction towards the west.
She was holding something in her hand. From time to time, red light shone from it. It looked like a Dharma artifact that was used to find directions. She headed all the way to the west. After a while, she stopped in a dark and quiet place. She could faintly see undulating mounds of soil around her.
This was a graveyard.
"It's here. 001, scan this area."
"Host! I did not expect to find any living beings. They should have been shielded. "
"Master said that this demon, Zhong Yi, is best at array formations. He should be hiding." She scanned the graveyard in front of her. "He really knows how to hide. If not for Master's thoughtfulness and preparation of this tracking seal, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find him."
She laughed coldly and walked directly towards the graveyard. She even deliberately lightened her footsteps and stared at the direction indicated by the Dharma artifact in her hand.
The three of them who were in the air exchanged a look. They directly used their divine perception to scan the area. Instantly, they found that on the right side, there was a graveyard overgrown with weeds. There was a trace of the evil aura of a Fiendish Cultivator. They could faintly see a figure curled up in a coffin underground. Because it was a graveyard, the death aura and evil aura were mixed together and it was extremely difficult to distinguish. Yet, it did not escape the three of them.
Indeed, in a short while, Shu Yi had already turned and walked towards the right. She looked around and stopped in front of the most inconspicuous graveyard that was overgrown with weeds.
Lonemoon was hesitating whether to make a move. Shu Yi, on the other hand, looked delighted. A strange light flashed in her eyes. Without hesitation, she took out a Dharma artifact and chanted a spell. She was about to activate the Dharma artifact and throw it out. Soon, that deviant fire would be hers …
"Senior Sister Shu!" Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side and grabbed Shu Yi's hand. She lost her grip, and the artifact fell to the ground with a thud, landing right on her feet.
"Ow …" Shu Yi cried out in pain. She lifted one foot and jumped a few times on the spot. Only then did she see who it was. "Zuo … Zuo Shuming!"
Σ (° △ ° | | |)
"Senior Sister Shu, what are you doing here?" Zuo Shuming looked at her blankly. His expression was one of concern. "It's very dangerous at night!"
"You … Why are you here?" Shu Yi was completely stunned!
"I chased you all the way here!" Zuo Shuming said matter-of-factly. "I'm on night duty tonight. I'm guarding the west city gate. When I saw you leave the city, I followed you. Eh? What happened to you, Senior Sister Shu? Why are you limping? Are you alright, Senior Sister Shu? … Don't scare me! "
Shu Yi: "…"
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
Shen Ying: "…"
How did this fellow get here? Indeed, Zuo Shuming was born to counter this invader, wasn't he?
