Chapter 141 My Immortal Life is Missing (5)
Gu Shijiu, with her head of charred black hair, wanted to refute, saying that she hadn't absorbed that power, so it shouldn't be demonic energy.
However, seeing that it was Shi Qi who said these words, she silently took them back.
Since Shi Qi said that, there must be a reason behind it.
Ye Ling was captured by the Immortal Binding Rope and held in Gu Shijiu's hand.
Because others were afraid they couldn't contain her, only Gu Shijiu wasn't afraid of her divine power.
Although Ye Ling was arrested, she didn't keep a straight face.
“My master is the Qingyun Sword Master. He knows you’ve treated me this way, so he’ll definitely come to save me. Then none of you will be able to escape.”
"You've already been expelled from the sect, and you're still dreaming of this?" Shi Qi said sarcastically from the side.
“You are just a mortal. If it weren’t for Gu Shijiu, I would have used your head as a snack with my wine long ago.”
Even though Shi Qi is very beautiful now, Ye Ling has lost all interest.
"Still saying you're not a demon? What decent person would eat human flesh?" Shi Qi said smugly.
Gu Shijiu suddenly remembered a joke: "Maybe she's from Guangdong."
Shi Qi almost burst out laughing: "That's no use, I'm not from Fujian, hehe."
Onlookers: Where did these two idiots come from...?
The cultivators gathered at Ye Ling's Divine Path Sect. They showed no courtesy to this sect, which was suspected to be a gathering place for demons.
All disciples were kept within the sect, and those who had wandered off were searched for.
Within the Divine Path Sect, the cultivators saw many divine artifacts.
Many people were envious, but when they thought it might be a trap set by demons, no one dared to take it.
The Xuanqing Sect Leader and Qingyun Sword Master both arrived and were startled by Gu Shijiu's new look.
"Li Yang, what's wrong with you?"
"She was struck by lightning." Gu Shijiu pointed at Ye Ling expressionlessly. "She's the one who brought it up."
The sect leader assumed it happened during the fight with Ye Ling, since this former disciple was quite eccentric and possessed many valuable items.
Actually, Gu Shijiu was punished because he hit a girl.
Ye Ling didn't have time to refute; she was very excited to see Sword Master Qingyun: "Master, save me!"
The Sword Master Qingyun looked even more aloof than before; he had come to apologize to Gu Shijiu.
“Master Li Yang, I apologize for my unstable state of mind back then, which made me prone to emotional fluctuations for some reason.”
Gu Shijiu stood there, stunned, unsure how to react.
Shi Qi whispered in her ear, guessing, "Before, he was the female lead's official partner, so naturally he had to revolve around the female lead."
Now that the sweet romance novel has turned into a female-centric story, and he's become a background character, things have returned to normal.
"I see." Gu Shijiu understood instantly.
Ye Ling never expected that the Sword Master Qingyun would ignore her. Her heart shattered into eight pieces: "Master, sister, what did I do wrong!"
The word "sister" startled Gu Shijiu, who almost dropped Ye Ling with a tremor.
"You harbored demons, how can you be without fault?" the body cultivator who had almost been crippled shouted.
It turns out that while Gu Shijiu and the others were resting and exchanging pleasantries, the cultivators actually found some remarkable things from the Divine Dao Sect.
Below the Shinto Sect is a secret passage, filled with a strong demonic aura.
There was also a half-dead bird, all black with sparse feathers, and it seemed to smell like roasted meat.
Gu Shijiu sniffed: "It stinks, and it doesn't look good at all."
I've never smelled such rotten grilled meat before; I have no appetite at all.
The bird chirped weakly twice, then tilted its head and fainted.
Ye Ling felt heartbroken: "Ahu—what kind of skill is it for you to bully spirit beasts?"
Shi Qi was very sensitive to this name.
Unlike Gu Shijiu, who read scripts hastily, he carefully digested them and could remember them after just one reading.
This is the name of the Demon Emperor.
Good heavens, after losing the Qingyun Sword Master and the Demon Lord, we still managed to encounter the Demon Emperor.
Shi Qi became increasingly certain that the Demon Lord and the Demon Emperor, who fell in love with Ye Ling in the original story, must have a conspiracy.
It might be aimed at cultivators.
After all, the current Ye Ling is completely different from the one in the story.
But the Demon Emperor still appeared here, and it seems that he still has a close relationship with Ye Ling.
Shi Qi didn't think it was the soul that loved Ye Ling: "Sect Leader, this inconspicuous little thing might be the Demon Emperor Qian Hu."
Qianhu hadn't expected to be exposed so easily, and he couldn't keep up the act of fainting any longer; his eyelids twitched.
Those present were all cultivators, so naturally they didn't let this obvious attempt to cover up their mistake go unnoticed.
"Ye Ling, what else do you have to say?"
Although the sect leader found it strange that this mortal knew so much, now was not the time to ask.
Let's deal with Ye Ling's matter first.
"I have nothing to say. Kill me if you want." Ye Ling looked fearless. "A bunch of hypocritical scoundrels."
The sect leader was puzzled as to why he had suddenly become so righteous: "You colluded with demons, which is a capital offense."
"Demons and monsters just have different cultivation methods, and some are good and some are bad. Why should we exterminate them?" Ye Ling felt that all cultivators were extremely hypocritical.
Qingyun Sword Master felt that Ye Ling seemed to lack common sense: "What were you doing when you were in class back then?"
Demons are different from monsters and demonic cultivators; they are generated from purely negative energy.
The Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord are leaders of two different branches.
They look like living beings, but they have absolutely no thoughts, emotions, or feelings that living beings should have.
Demons exist to devour living beings, including monsters and demonic cultivators.
In the world of cultivation, there are many sects composed of demons and evil cultivators, but none of them have a leader.
Like human cultivators, various sects and aristocratic families manage a portion of the common people, somewhat similar to lords.
Ye Ling had actually studied it, but she didn't approve of it.
She didn't know about the Demon Lord, but the Demon Emperor looked so pitiful and weak, and when he transformed into human form, he was just like a human.
Why do you say they aren't living beings?
Whether Ye Ling acknowledges it or not doesn't matter; Gu Shijiu has gained experience from working.
Upon hearing the sect leader say that the thing on the ground was a demon, he squatted down and put his hand on it.
She said it smelled terrible, but it turned out it wasn't barbecue.
The Demon King could no longer pretend to be asleep; it felt as if it had encountered robbers.
A large amount of energy was absorbed by Gu Shijiu, and the Demon Emperor was even unable to maintain the bird's shape.
Ye Ling cursed and shouted incessantly from the side.
As its power continued to dissipate, the Demon Emperor's body began to shrink, and its color became increasingly dull.
Its roar gradually turned from anger to despair, and finally only a faint whimper remained.
Finally, when Gu Shijiu completely drained the last bit of power, the Demon Emperor lost its form and turned into a cloud of black mist.
This cloud of black mist seemed to be the only proof that it had ever existed, drifting slowly in the air and exuding a faint, malevolent aura.
Everyone present was familiar with this aura, including Ye Ling.
"Do you have anything else to say now?" the sect leader asked her.
Ye Ling turned her head: "In the end, all you want is my divine relics. Dream on."
Even if I die, you won't get it. Besides, I won't die at all—”
