Chapter 254 The Little Taoist Priest and the Peach Blossom Demon 11
"If we hadn't been caught by Xia Xingyu before the secret realm was opened, then I think it would have been the second ending. Xia Xingyu has been in the sect for a long time and has grown up. I think he would have other plans. Maybe when we get out of this secret realm, we will be greeted by a bloody storm!"
Tao Shu looked up at the bright moonlight, with an inexplicable sadness shrouding her brows.
Fang Yan listened carefully to Tao Shu's words, as if thinking about something, but still lightly put his arm around Tao Shu's shoulders.
"If that's the case, then you should leave first! No, Shushu, you should leave directly after you leave the secret realm tomorrow. I will come to find you after I have dealt with it."
After a long time, Fang Yan suddenly spoke.
Tao Shu paused, tears flashing in her eyes, "Brother Fang, have you forgotten what I said that day? If you live, I live. If you die, I die."
Their eyes met, and neither of them looked away, and they both understood what the other was thinking.
After figuring it out, the two continued to practice.
Until a certain moment on the second day, there was a sudden tremor above the entire secret realm, as if the sky was about to fall. After a while, disciples from all over the secret realm were flashing with light, and the next moment they turned into streaks of light that instantly shot out of the secret realm.
Fang Yan and Tao Shu held hands and were teleported along with this force. When they opened their eyes again, in front of them was the entrance where they had entered the valley before.
The two of them held on to the only remaining teleportation talisman. If any irreversible situation occurred later, they would immediately activate the teleportation talisman and escape.
As more and more disciples showed up, the entrance to the secret realm suddenly became a little noisy. Right in front of the secret realm stood the elders sent by various sects to open the seal of the secret realm.
Fang Yan immediately looked at the elders from the Qingyun Sect. There were two inner sect elders, one of whom was the elder of the Qingyun Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, and the other was the island master of a peak within the sect.
After Xia Xingyu came out of the secret realm, he immediately began to search for Fang Yan. After only a short while, he found the target person.
He glanced at the sect elders again, and couldn't help but smile evilly, then he moved directly towards the direction where Fang Yan was.
After seeing Xia Xingyu's actions, the Qingyun Sect disciples also saw Fang Yan, who had murdered his fellow disciples, and naturally followed Xia Xingyu with a sense of righteousness.
"Two elders, the sect disciple Fang Yan colluded with the demon and killed fellow disciples in the secret realm. In order to prevent this person from escaping, the disciples must first subdue him!"
Xia Xingyu flew towards Fang Yan at a high speed while yelling at the sect elders.
He deliberately used his spiritual energy to bless his voice, which was so loud that the elders of the four sects could all hear it.
For a moment, several elders looked downwards in surprise. Fang Yanzhi was extremely talented, and even the other three major sects had heard of him. If such a talented disciple colluded with monsters and harmed his fellow disciples, it would naturally be against the will of heaven and he must not be let off.
Elder Yu from the Qingyun Sect's Law Enforcement Hall shouted, "Stop! This matter involves the sect, the person should be brought back to the sect for questioning, don't kill him on your own!"
After he said this, he prepared to block Xia Xingyu's full-strength attack.
The island master of Kaiyang Peak next to him suddenly stepped forward to stop Elder Yu.
"You... Elder Lin! What do you mean?!" Elder Yu looked at the Lord of Kaiyang Peak with an ugly expression.
"Elder Yu, this is not your Law Enforcement Hall, so we don't need to follow your rules. It is a fact that Fang Yan killed his fellow disciples, otherwise why would so many Qingyun Sect disciples want to subdue him? Elder Yu, please don't let personal grudges ruin your Taoism!" The island master of Kaiyang Peak snorted coldly.
If Fang Yan was brought back to the sect, with the sect leader present, there's no telling what the situation might be. How could he allow Elder Yu to take him away?
The two inner sect elders had similar abilities, and they did not take action in front of the outer sect elders, but just kept a sullen face.
Fang Yan and Tao Shu kept dodging. Tao Shu looked at the elders from the other three sects who were watching, gritted his teeth and spoke.
"Elders, there are demons infiltrating this secret realm! Perhaps one of your disciples has sneaked in!"
Tao Shu deliberately added spiritual power to amplify the volume, and when these words came out, the scene exploded instantly.
The disciples below looked at each other, doubting each other's identities, fearing that one of their fellow disciples was a demon cultivator in disguise. Even the elders of the four sects changed their expressions, and their eyes kept scanning the scene.
Although humans, demons and monsters coexist in the world today, wars have broken out many times between cultivators and demons, and they are almost always on guard against each other, while the demon clan is relatively neutral, not leaning towards any side, nor attacking any side.
Therefore, the infiltration of demons is more serious than the collusion between humans and demons.
Moreover, the severity of the incidents is different. The collusion with demons raised by Xia Xingyu is only an internal matter of Qingyun Sect, but the demons mentioned by this young disciple are related to four sects and the entire cultivation world.
Xia Xingyu sneered when he heard this, thinking that the other party was deliberately using this as an excuse to escape, so he continued to wave his spiritual energy towards the two of them without caring at all.
The next moment, the elders from the other three sects instantly blocked the attack and looked at the island master of Kaiyang Peak with unfriendly expressions.
"Friend Lin of Qingyun Sect, this matter concerns the demon race and the cultivation world. Don't let your disciples do whatever they want!"
The expression of the island master of Kaiyang Peak, who was stared at by three sect elders, turned ugly in an instant. He looked at both sides, and after receiving Elder Yu's cold snort, he reluctantly threw a stream of spiritual energy towards Xia Xingyu.
"Get out!"
This spiritual energy contained the anger and humiliation of the Lord of Kaiyang Peak. Naturally, he did not hold back. Xia Xingyu was instantly knocked to the ground by this blow, with blood oozing from his mouth.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the elders of the three sects immediately looked at Tao Shu impatiently to ask, and at the same time quietly set up restrictions around them to prevent any demons from escaping.
"My little Taoist friend, are you serious? I'm sure you know how important the demons are to the world of cultivation, so don't lie!"
"Yes, little Taoist friend, quickly tell me everything you know!"
"If you know, please speak up!"
Jiang Yueshu's mind moved, and she directly controlled her entire body. Fang Yan beside her suddenly glanced at her.
"My fellow elders, what I said is absolutely true. I dare not speak nonsense!"
She bowed to the elders who were high above her, while her eyes slowly swept across the scene.
"Not only that, I have evidence to prove it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and they all looked in the direction Jiang Yueshu was looking. All the disciples who were seen were uneasy and extremely scared.
"Oh? What evidence?" An elder with higher cultivation level in Xuanmen suddenly spoke.
"The evidence is with my senior brother Xia Xingyu!" Jiang Yueshu looked at Xia Xingyu word by word without changing his expression.
Xia Xingyu, who had just swallowed a healing pill, suddenly paused. What nonsense was he talking about?
How could he collude with the demons!
Seeing the people and elders around him all looking at him, he couldn't help but roar in anger.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You and Fang Yan are in the same group, and now you are trying to get away with it by blatantly blaming me! Ah! I'm going to kill you!"
He angrily circulated the spiritual power in his body and attacked Jiang Yueshu.
Jiang Yueshu just glanced at him indifferently without even trying to dodge. As expected, his full-strength attack not only failed to hit him, but a barrier surrounded him instead.
Not only that, but the person who made the move was an elder from three sects. Even Elder Yu from the Law Enforcement Hall was staring at him closely, and the disciples of Qingyun Sect looked at him with suspicion.
Xia Xingyu was filled with grief and anger at the same time, and was about to explode with rage. He spat out blood uncontrollably and stared at Jiang Yueshu viciously. He even didn't care much about Fang Yan standing beside him.
"Elder Lin, please make a decision for me. This disciple not only harmed his fellow disciples, but also deliberately took advantage of them and committed treason. He doesn't take Qingyun Sect seriously at all!"
He gritted his teeth and said humiliatingly.
The island master of Kaiyang Peak understood and immediately pointed the finger at Jiang Yueshu, "You said that the evidence is with him, then tell the elders what it is. Is it false? If you dare to deliberately accuse me, I will not let you go!"
After a round of scolding, Jiang Yueshu's expression remained calm.
"Okay, since Senior Brother Xia and the elders are so eager to know, I will tell you!"
Jiang Yueshu stared at Xia Xingyu's increasingly ugly face and said slowly, "I saw with my own eyes that Senior Brother Xia took out the magic fruit. I think it is in his storage ring!"
Hearing this, the Lord of Kaiyang Peak immediately looked at Xia Xingyu. Although he was a little puzzled by the change in his expression, he still spoke to Xia Xingyu as if he had turned the tables.
"Since he said so, you should open your storage ring and let everyone take a look to see if there is any magic fruit! If not, I will kill him immediately!"
The Lord of Kaiyang Peak became more and more angry, and it was obvious that he thought that Xia Xingyu did not have this thing. After all, magic fruits rarely appear in the entire human world, and they are of no benefit to the practice of cultivators. Even if someone came across one on the road, they would not necessarily pick it up.
Jiang Yueshu looked at Xia Xingyu fearlessly. Fang Yan did not eat the magic fruit that day, so it naturally remained with Xia Xingyu.
Considering Xia Xingyu's nature of wanting to torture people, a magic fruit could ruin the reputation of a righteous cultivator and make him despised by the world, so he naturally would not throw it away easily.
After all, he spent spirit stones to buy it, there is space for it in the storage room, and the thing has value, so he will definitely keep it.
"Yes, Brother Xia, just listen to Elder Lin and let everyone take a look at your storage ring. This will also allow everyone to see if I am talking nonsense. If you don't have the magic fruit, I am willing to take the blame if Elder Lin wants to use me." Jiang Yueshu advised kindly, looking very sincere.
Xiyue had a pale face already standing aside. She knew in her heart that Xia Xingyu did have the magic fruit. Now that everyone was watching, what should she do?
"What you said sounds nice! If you suspect me, I will let everyone see the storage ring. But I still suspect you. Do you dare to let everyone see it?" Xia Xingyu suddenly had an idea and said bluntly.
Most monks have various treasures in their storage rings. If they are taken out casually, they may be easily killed and robbed by someone with ulterior motives, so no one is willing to show their storage rings to others.
He is now betting on this possibility. If he refuses...
Before he could finish, the boy responded neatly, "Okay."
He directly picked up the storage bag at his waist, and with a thought, the contents of the bag instantly appeared in front of him.
A bottle of rejuvenation pill, a bottle of spiritual tonic pill, and a few herbs!
Everyone was dumbfounded. They blinked and looked at it, and it was still the same thing.
They looked at the storage bag in Jiang Yueshu's hand again to see what else she could take out.
After waiting for a long time, the bag was empty. Jiang Yueshu even opened the restriction to let everyone see everything.
The disciples at the scene were thinking silently in their hearts, what a poor disciple!
Even Xia Xingyu, who had been closely watching Jiang Yueshu's movements, was a little dumbfounded. How could this happen?
Not only did he agree, but he was also a poor guy?!
For a moment, his face turned pale, and he thought of the magic fruit in his storage ring, still hesitating.
"I see. No wonder you dare to show it to everyone! You took out that thing in advance. It was on Fang Yan next to you, right? That's why you dare to show it to everyone so openly?"
As soon as Xia Xingyu saw Fang Yan beside Jiang Yueshu, he immediately gritted his teeth.
He was a poor guy, yet he dared to let everyone see his storage ring. He didn't believe Fang Yan could do the same.
"Brother Xia, as the eldest disciple of Qingyun Sect, you are righteous and steady. Now it is a big matter related to the demon clan, but you have been pushing and blocking it. It really makes people suspicious!"
Jiang Yueshu spoke meaningfully, instantly attracting the other people's meaningful looks.
Xia Xingyu was extremely angry, but he still kept clinging to Fang Yan, as if Fang Yan's initial silence gave him enough confidence.
"Since this involves major events in both the human and demon worlds, I am willing to let everyone watch." Fang Yan suddenly spoke, catching Xia Xingyu off guard.
Fang Yan's storage ring only had a few more spirit stones and a few books of skills and spells than Jiang Yueshu's storage bag, and the rest were ordinary elixirs and some parts of monsters.
Other than that, there is nothing.
Xia Xingyu was even more dumbfounded now, and suddenly heard someone in the crowd exclaim.
“Oh my god, Senior Brother Fang’s assets are so meager!”
"Yes, I looked everywhere but didn't see the demon pill that Senior Brother Xia mentioned!"
"Hmm! Really? Didn't he say that Senior Brother Fang colluded with the Peach Blossom Demon just for that demon pill?"
Jiang Yueshu and Fang Yan heard the discussions in the crowd, their eyes turned cold, and they stared straight at Xia Xingyu.
"Okay, Brother Xia, you have refused again and again, and we have let everyone see the storage ring as you wish. If you are honest, just let everyone see it! If you are worried that someone will kill people to steal the treasure, the elders have profound cultivation and I think they will not look down on your thing. As for the others, their cultivation is not as high as yours, so why are you afraid? Of course, if you are guilty and dare not let everyone see it, that is another matter!"
"My fellow Daoist from Qingyun Sect, this young Daoist has already demonstrated this. I hope you can cooperate with me and not waste everyone's time!"
The elder from Xuanmen with higher cultivation level was impatient to speak, and it was obvious that he had lost his patience in waiting.
