Chapter 337: Manly Talk

After Shangguan Xue’s master, Sheng Qingyun, was trapped in the Delusional Mountain, the Easy Sect was left with only one YuanYing Ancestor, Ye Cheng’an.

Shangguan Xue was one of the few people who could get close to the Old Ancestor besides the Patriarch and a few others.

Controlling a Foundation Establishment cultivator was far easier than controlling a Jindan cultivator.

Xu Chuniang lowered her eyes to look at him, “When did you collude with the Delusionless Mountain?”

Xie Changyuan was silent for a moment, “I only learned about it in the past two years.”

Although he was the son of the Mixed Yuan Realist, his cultivation level was not even Jindan, and he did not know about some of the core matters.

He didn’t get any important information from Xie Changyuan, but he knew quite a bit of news in bits and pieces.

Only when she couldn’t ask for more did she leave the small world and look for Zhuge Yun.

“What did you say, suspecting Shangguan Xue of having problems?”

When Zhuge Yun heard this, he couldn’t help but feel a few strange feelings rising in the bottom of his heart.

These two senior sisters of his, were they not dealing too well with each other in private, one after the other running to him to complain.

Xu Chuniang did not say much, hand gently waved, will see a light black mist wrapped around the wrist, out of nowhere added a few points of treacherous color.

Zhuge Yun’s pupils contracted violently, staring at the black mist with unprecedented seriousness.

He has never seen this black mist, but he has a vague hunch that this thing may be the demonic soul Shangguan Xue said in his mouth.

“The day my senior brother went to challenge the City Lord’s Mansion, I was stained with this thing.”

Xu Chuniang’s expression was calm as she told the truth about the fact that someone had secretly done something to her.

“In that case, the demonic soul did not succeed in possessing the body, and it was imprisoned by you?”

A strange color flashed in Zhuge Yun’s eyes, as if he was recognizing her for the first time, sizing her up from start to finish several times.

Regarding the Demon Soul, he did not know much about it.

He only knew that this tactic was extremely difficult to defend against, and once possessed, it would be very difficult to exorcise.

Shangguan Xue might as well have been possessed by a demonic soul back then, and it was Ye Cheng’an, who was a YuanYing Taishang Elder, who personally took action.

Even so, he could only manage to suppress it, unable to expel it completely.

Because the demonic soul and part of Shangguan Xue’s divine soul were entangled together, if it was forcibly dispelled, it would be detrimental to her divine soul.

Xu Chuniang nodded, “In short, I’m not possessed by a demonic soul. But previously, I had felt the same movement of the demonic soul in Senior Sister Shangguan’s body.”

“How am I going to believe you?”

Zhuge Yun had actually believed most of it, but with so much at stake, he maintained his caution.

Xu Chuniang did not say anything, but she saw a small cluster of fire rising from her fingertips, burning a wisp of black mist into ashes.

At the same time, the demonic soul within her cried out to the heavens.

“Pain pain pain pain, don’t burn don’t burn!”

Xu Chuniang frowned a bit and didn’t want to burn out this demonic soul, so she stopped.

The fire suddenly disappeared, and the black mist even took the opportunity to “whoosh” and shrink back.

“Now, should senior brother believe me?”

Zhuge Yun stared at the fire with a burning gaze until it completely disappeared before withdrawing his gaze.

He smiled gently, “Since Senior Sister has been cleared of suspicion, I am trustworthy. However, you can rest assured that the demonic soul within Senior Sister Shangguan’s body has already been suppressed.”

With that, he briefly told the ins and outs.

From inadvertently discovering the demonic soul in Shangguan Xue’s body, to having suspicions about Mixed Yuan City, and finally coming here to find out.

“So, that day when Senior Brother fought at the City Lord’s Mansion, he was putting on a show?”

Xu Chuniang raised her eyebrows, previously she had some vague guesses, but only now did she completely understand. As soon as this matter was brought up, Zhuge Yun was furious, always feeling that he had lost a lot of money.

“I originally thought that the City Lord’s Mansion just wanted to test the waters for a moment or two, and in the meantime borrowed Xie Changyuan’s hand to take advantage of the opportunity to abolish me, but it turned out that they actually even went after you.”

“Then senior brother’s dao heart is damaged?”

“It’s naturally feigned.”

Zhuge Yun rolled his eyes, “How can a person who cultivates be in love? If the talent is poor and the cultivation does not advance an inch, so be it. I’m not willing to destroy my own immortal path.”

Xu Chuniang nodded her head with a smile, “Since you are pretending, then the injuries that you have been lying in bed for half a year behind you, is that also pretending?”

Hearing this, Zhuge Yun’s eyelids twitched.

He had forgotten about this matter.

He coughed dryly, his eyes a little weak, “Not really, I was quite heavily injured at that time, senior sister should not have forgotten it.”

However Xu Chuniang, who was sitting across from him, refused to let him off easily.

“Then what exactly did senior brother go for when he went to the Tian Yuan secret realm even though he pretended to be sick and went through all the trouble?”

Zhuge Yun was quiet for a few breaths and smiled, “I also want to know what exactly Senior Sister gained by going into the Secret Realm without even pretending to be dizzy.”

The two were wide-eyed, and in the end, Zhuge Yun took the lead and chose to open up.

“So, the two of you and Senior Sister Shangguan, you’re teaming up to pit Xie Changyuan?”

Xu Chuniang’s eyes were odd, remembering the captive still lying in her small world.

“Pit him just incidentally, I mainly went inside to find something, but unfortunately that place had a change of heart …… you know, in short, the thing was not found.”

“Then those several senior brothers who followed Shangguan senior sister, exactly how did they die?”

Zhuge Yun revealed a hint of helplessness.

“It wasn’t safe for the three of them to stay in the City Lord’s Mansion, so Senior Sister Shangguan took them with her into the secret realm and failed to protect them. But I also ruthlessly pitted Xie Changyuan, making him fold a lot of his manpower, so it’s a revenge.”

Xu Chuniang inexplicably remembered, when Xie Changyuan’s party encountered those two Jindan stage snakes.

Originally, they had a chance to get rid of the two large snakes, and it seemed that the red-clothed female cultivator had caused some commotion and got caught up in a vicious battle.

At that thought, the way she looked at this senior brother was suddenly subtle.

Zhuge Yun was oblivious and only sighed faintly.

“The evil cultivators on the side of Delusional Mountain have utilized formations to trap the people of the five great sects in the secret realm. Right now, Mixed Yuan City has also struck out at my Easy Sect several times, with great intentions.

If I miss this time, I don’t know when I’ll be able to get the Boundary Breaking Talisman to rescue the Supreme Elder and Patriarch and the others from the secret realm ……”

“Realm Breaking Talisman?”

Zhuge Yun glanced at her, “Oh, I forgot that you don’t know. In addition to my Free and Easy Sect, the other four great sects also came a lot of cultivators, in order to go to the secret realm to obtain the realm-breaking talisman, only to receive this task, most of them are true ……”

Speaking here, he suddenly froze, staring straight at the golden talisman in front of him.

“Is it this one? I happen to have it in my hand.”

Zhuge Yun’s heart thumped, almost drowning out his voice, “How did you get it?”

It wasn’t true that he was guessing that Senior Sister Xu had gotten benefits in the Heavenly Dao Palace, but he hadn’t even thought about the Realm Breaking Talisman.

After all, the ones who received this task were the true disciples of the various sects, and Senior Sister Xu was not a true disciple, so naturally she didn’t receive the task.

But why would she have this item in her hands?

Xu Chuniang put away the Realm Breaking Talisman with a normal expression, “I just asked about the availability of something that could forcefully break open the secret realm, and I got this.”

Because of the rules of the Heavenly Dao Palace, it is not allowed to talk about things related to it in the outside world, so she was incoherent, but Zhuge Yun understood.

There is no way out of the mountain, but in the blink of an eye, there is a bright light in the darkness.
