To be possessed by the devil
Yan Du wasn't in closed door cultivation within his training room.
He was currently sitting cross-legged outside Chu Xingyun's training room with his eyes closed. No matter who passed by, he didn't pay any attention to them, as if he was an ascetic monk.
Qin Yuyan and Qin Shan had asked about this when they saw this strange scene, but Yan Du had kept his mouth shut and sat there for two whole days.
At this time, the stone door to the training room opened and Chu Xingyun walked out.
Yan Du abruptly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground, quickly walking forward.
The aura emanating from Yan Du's body was completely different from ten days ago. It had become deeper and more vigorous, as if he had a trace of communication with the heavens and earth. Everyone present made way for him, not daring to block his path.
"Servant Yan Du thanks master for his grace. From today onwards, I swear to the heavens that I will follow by master's side and not leave you even in death!" Yan Du arrived in front of Chu Xingyun and bowed heavily, kneeling down.
In an instant, the surrounding crowd was frightened by these words. The black clothed elder before them was actually Yan Du. When had he started to follow Chu Xingyun? Moreover, he had even called him master.
"You've stepped into the earth spirit realm within ten days. You haven't disappointed me. However, it won't be easy for you to follow by my side. This bit of strength is far from enough." Chu Xingyun looked at Yan Du, his voice as calm as still water.
"Stepped into the earth spirit realm!"
The surrounding crowd was stunned by these words. Even Qin Ruyan and Qin Shan were astounded. Could it be that Yan Du had stepped into the earth spirit realm the day he left the training room?
And, from Yan Du's words, it seemed that he'd only been able to step into the earth spirit realm because of Chu Xingyun's help. This was impossible. How could Chu Xingyun have helped Yan Du with his little bit of training?
Qin Yuyan and Qin Shan looked at each other with some astonishment.
Now, they finally understood why Yan Du was so loyal to Chu Xingyun and even took pride in becoming Chu Xingyun's servant.
"I, Yan Du, must remember your words. Even if I cannot follow you, I will do my best to protect the Chu Clan." Yan Du's expression was solemn. His words were not false, they came from his heart.
"If I remember correctly, Yan Du should be the first person to step into the Earth Spirit Realm in our West Wind City. A dignified expert of the Earth Spirit Realm has recognized Chu Xingyun as his master, wouldn't the Chu family soar into the sky?"
"From today onwards, the Chu family will be the strongest family in West Wind City, enough to stand on equal footing with the City Lord's residence."
The crowd discussed animatedly, their words filled with mixed feelings. Some were jealous, some were unwilling, some were sighing, but most of them were envious. They envied Chu Xingyun for being able to subdue an expert like Yan Du.
"You came out alone? Where is Gu Qing Shan? " Chu Xingyun looked around, but didn't see Gu Qing Shan's figure. Logically speaking, he should have come out around the same time as Yan Du.
"City Lord Gu is also in the Hundred Treasures Tower?" The crowd's gazes froze slightly. Yan Du and Gu Qing Shan, the two top experts of West Wind City, how could it be so coincidental that they were both in the Hundred Treasures Tower?
"City Lord Gu is still in seclusion, would the Chu family head like to go take a look?" Qin Shan asked, immediately pointing to the secret training room where Gu Qing Shan was in seclusion.
Chu Xingyun nodded. As soon as he arrived in front of the door, his brows furrowed tightly together as he felt an abnormal fluctuation seeping out from within the secret training room.
"Not good!" Chu Xingyun's heart sank and he immediately roared, "Yan Du, immediately blast open this stone door!"
The crowd was originally discussing animatedly, but they immediately quieted down. Forcefully disturbing someone else's seclusion was a great taboo between cultivators. Could it be that Chu Xingyun had gone mad?
Yan Du was also full of doubts, but he didn't ask any questions. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward and slammed his hands heavily on the heavy stone door.
With the sound of falling rocks, the stone door shattered. As the crowd looked over, they could see Gu Qing Shan sitting cross-legged on the ground, completely motionless, as if he wasn't disturbed by the commotion at all.
"How could this be?" Yan Du had already entered the Earth Spirit realm, so he could clearly feel that the training room was filled with a frenzied demonic aura. Moreover, this demonic aura was circling around Gu Qing Shan's body, restless as if it was a ferocious wolf or tiger that wanted to devour him completely.
"What an idiot!"
Chu Xingyun gritted his teeth and cursed, causing everyone present to be even more shocked. Although Chu Xingyun had the protection of a strong cultivator like Yan Du, cursing Gu Qing Shan like this was still too bold.
"I clearly told him time and time again not to be too hasty. Now that he's gone mad, the Baleful Yin energy has invaded his body and is obviously corroding his organs." Chu Xingyun didn't care about Gu Qing Shan's identity at all and cursed loudly enough for everyone to hear.
"Is there still any way to salvage the situation?" Qin Yuyan was terrified.
"Yan Du, stand guard outside. No one is allowed to enter, no matter who it is," Chu Xingyun said and his figure flickered as he rushed into the secret training room and arrived in front of Gu Qing Shan.
At this moment, Gu Qing Shan's eyes were open, but there wasn't the slightest bit of light in them. Instead, they were dim and lifeless. The spirit energy in his Spirit Sea was boiling and roiling, wildly rampaging without any pattern.
"Gu Qing Shan!" Chu Xingyun reached out his right hand and heavily patted Gu Qing Shan's shoulder. A wave of spirit energy bloomed, causing Gu Qing Shan to raise his head. His dim eyes flashed with a faint light.
"Yin and Yang, the Five Elements and the Eight Symbols. To the Heavens and Earth, the human body is nothing but a carrier. A carrier can contain all things. Baleful Yin energy below, Astral Yang energy above, from Yin to Yang …"
Chu Xingyun said each word clearly. Every word seemed to have some kind of magic, causing the light in Gu Qing Shan's eyes to become brighter and brighter. The Baleful Yin energy around his body also suddenly became much more docile, no longer rampaging wildly.
"Ah!"
All of a sudden, Gu Qing Shan regained his consciousness, feeling a powerful force spreading through his body. He swung his hands horizontally, creating a violent gust of wind that sent Chu Xing Yun flying.
Yan Du was paying close attention to every movement in the secret training room. He stepped forward and caught Chu Xingyun before he hit the ground, safely landing on the ground.
"How is it?" Qin Yuyan hurriedly came over. Seeing Gu Qing Shan lying motionless on the ground, her mood immediately sank to the bottom, her face abnormally pale.
"I'll do it myself. Even if his life steps on the Bridge of Coping, I can still save it!" Chu Xingyun said weakly. He stepped forward and once again walked in front of Gu Qing Shan, doing something that made everyone dumbfounded.
