ninety thousand miles

Chapter 590 Persuasion
Li Chuan pondered for a while and said, "We were originally going to Youxi Valley. Now it has been confirmed that one-third of Chi Lin is sleeping there, so if we go to Youxi Valley, we will definitely meet him. Then there is a question, which I mentioned just now, that is, are the methods used to deal with the gods useful to him, and to what extent?"

"According to your guess just now, if the other gods are his followers, then their effect may be limited." Jiang Mei answered Li Chuan directly.

"The power he displayed at the end, I am still frightened when I think back to it now. So can we deal with him? We also have to consider that the demon spirit may be there too, and may have made a lot of arrangements," Li Chuan thought seriously, "Last time in Qinling, we were able to escape with the help of Cang Ming Tang Master and Elder Mi. Can we really make it this time with just a few of us?"

"Try it first." Wen Guying said.

"You'll die if you try," Li Chuan retorted solemnly, "The methods Chi Lin used in Youxi Valley have many similarities with the "Pattern Scripture". I don't know why. Therefore... I have a little confidence that I can fight him for a few moves, but only a few moves. I definitely can't kill him."

"After receiving our message, Master Chu will bring people here." Jiang Mei said.

"That's good." Li Chuan felt relieved.

"You forgot about the half-demon." Wen Guying said.

"They?" Li Chuan was confused.

Wen Guying said: "This is the Cangwu wilderness, where half-demons have lived for more than 100,000 years."

"Then what?" Li Chuan asked.

"You said..." Wen Guying lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the hilt of the sword and said: "What if we can help the half-demon break the curse?"

"Is there really a curse?" Li Chuan asked.

"There should be. Half-demons have been living here since the end of the ancient times..." Wen Guying repeated this sentence. He said, "No one knows this place better than half-demons, the spells, the lairs of ancient monsters, the tributaries of the Sanqing River... and the secret realm that is about to be born."

"Can you remove the curse?" Li Chuan asked.

"No." Wen Guying said.

So Li Chuan looked at Jiang Mei, "Master Jiang, can you do it?"

"No." Jiang Mei said.

"Then who can solve it? Can Master Chu do it?" Li Chuan immediately thought of Master Chu.

"Probably...something." Jiang Mei answered conservatively.

Li Chuan understood. He felt his head start to hurt again. He asked Wen Guying, "Who will remove the curse? Doctor Lao?"

"I can't." Lao Xiaokai said immediately.

"Second brother, third brother? It can't be me, right?" Li Chuan asked.

"The half-demon curse originates from an ancient demon beast..."

Wen Guying was halfway through his speech when Li Chuan interrupted him and said, "You don't really count on me, do you?"

"Listen to me." Wen Guying said, "The curse originated from the ancient monsters, so to break the curse, we must start from the ancient monsters. Nowadays, the ancient monsters are either dead or sealed, and there is no point in finding one or two of them, so we have to trace it back to the source."

"The sacred tree?" Jiang Mei asked. "That's right. The branch of the sacred tree that Chi Lin helped to create may hold the key to unlocking the curse." Wen Guying raised his head and said, "We can make another deal with the half-demon."

"So you are not sure, so you plan to coax the half-demon to help?" Li Chuan felt that Wen Guying was very unreliable. He said, "Let's contact Sect Leader Chu or the old Palace Master Sect Leader Wang first, and ask them to come over, or send some experts to explore Youxi Valley with us. If something that the old Palace Master doesn't want to fight comes out, we may not be able to escape."

"That's fine." Wen Guying said without comment.

"It would be best if we could get the help of the half-demons." Jiang Mei seemed to agree with Wen Guying's idea this time. He said, "If Sect Leader Chu and his men come here, it will arouse the half-demons' vigilance and unnecessary speculation. When we meet the spiritual master later, we should have a frank talk with her and then talk to the clan leaders."

"Okay." Li Chuan said.

Jiang Mei comforted him and said, "The methods used to deal with ordinary gods may not be able to deal with Chi Lin, but this does not mean that we have no way to deal with him. If that were the case, he would not have been forced to that point during the catastrophe of gods and demons. Moreover... more than 30,000 years have passed. After the rise of Xuanmen, the cultivators today are much stronger than those at that time."

“And we have another advantage,” he said.

"What advantages?" Li Chuan asked.

"Chi Lin is still sleeping." Jiang Mei said, and then he explained: "Now is not the time he is expected to wake up, so his plan may not be fully completed. And the second point is that the demon spirit may have made many arrangements, but she cannot wake Chi Lin up. In other words, when Chi Lin wakes up now depends on us. These two points are our advantages."

"The evil spirit will definitely try to make me wake up Chi Lin at the time she wants, right?" Li Chuan said.

"That's right." Wen Guying said.

"Let me think about it." Li Chuan said. He recalled what he saw in his dream, and thought about what Wen Guying and Jiang Mei said several times in his mind, and then said: "Let's talk to the spiritual master first, and I will think about how to convince them."

"Okay." Wen Guying said.

So they walked out of the cave.

When he stepped out of the cave, Li Chuan looked back at the place where the spell was engraved. It seemed a little different from before. He didn't say anything, but memorized all the strokes of the spell in his mind.

When Yu Chen saw them coming out, he immediately went up to them and asked, "Are you done talking?"

Li Chuan said: "That's it, where's the spiritual master?"

"It's on the other side. I'll take you there." Yu Chen said.

So Li Chuan and his companions followed Yu Chen again, walking in the dark secret passage. After walking about a hundred steps, another stone cave similar to the previous one appeared in front of them. Yu Chen led them in, hung the torch on the stone wall, and said, "Spiritual Master, Chief Xun."

"You are here." Chief Xun stood up and said, "Please sit down wherever you like."

Li Chuan felt that Patriarch Xun's attitude had changed again. He probably thought that the spiritual master had said something to him and cleared up the "misunderstanding".

This cave was taller and wider than the previous one. There were no tables or chairs inside, and the spiritual master and the Xun clan leader were sitting on the ground, so Li Chuan and his companions found a place to sit down. Li Chuan raised his head and tried to find the pattern of the spell, and soon he found it at the angles on both sides.

"That's the spell." said the spiritual master.

"Oh... I have seen similar patterns in my dreams," Li Chuan explained, and then he said: "The God Clan in the dream is indeed the person we are looking for." He paused, "The arrival of the night will be delayed for a few days," he looked directly into the eyes of the spiritual master and said: "After seeing the memories of the ancestors of the Ruiling Clan, I found that I may have thought too little before. The delay in the end of the white night may also be related to that God Clan... To completely solve this matter, we must go to Youxi Valley. I plan to set off in five days."
