Journey to the head

Lin Le immediately became alert, this matter was no trivial matter!

The "True Secret of the Golden Crow's Dayan" was obtained by chance by True Man Chiyu. It is extremely miraculous and created this "Danxia Chiyu, invincible in the golden elixir; below the Nascent Soul stage, Pei Lie is the best."

In the entire Danxia sect, up to now, only Gu Nishang has been able to inherit this skill. Coincidentally, she has the blood of the Golden Crow, so this skill is perfect for her and shines brightly.

But now, Akabane Master actually passed this technique to an outsider like him! He also said something strange, "Don't let it be lost."

Logically, even if he obtained this martial art by chance, it still belongs to the Danxia Sect's property and cannot be taught to outsiders privately. Moreover, his words also imply an intention of entrusting an orphan to his care.

What is all this for? Even if he feels that he cannot overcome the great calamity of his inner demons, doesn't he still have Gu Nishang to pass on this skill to him?
And looking back, this real person looked a little pale, his tone was strange, and even the top that had not been seen in ten thousand years was worn neatly.

Lin Le, who couldn't figure it out, decisively asked Chiyu Zhenren to "seek help." He immediately activated the communication channel between Danxia and Yunshan, wrote the news in a secret letter, and gave it to Lu Qian.

At this time, Lu Qian was near Xiyi Mountain, discussing the changes of Xuanwei Sect with Yuanxu Lingjun, Lianyi Lingjun and others, so this secret letter could not be delivered immediately.

When Lu Qian finally received the secret letter, he was shocked and wrote a reply and sent it back. After many twists and turns, it finally returned to Lin Le. A whole night had passed and it was already dawn.

Lu Qian's reply was also very simple: "Immediately keep Chiyu Zhenren, don't let him escape, report to Danxia Sect if necessary, and wait for me to come!"

But when Lin Le rushed to the courtyard of True Man Chiyu, it was deserted. He asked the monk on duty and was told that the master of their peak had left last night and had not returned yet.

After Master Chiyu handed over the "Golden Crow Dayan True Art" to him, he left Huoyun Peak!

Lin Le no longer hesitated and immediately reported the matter to the Danxia Sect.

However, he did not mention the fact that True Man Chiyu had entrusted him with the "True Secret". He only said that when True Man Chiyu was chatting with him last night, he made some negative and weird remarks, and then left Huoyun Peak late at night and disappeared.

Lin Le's report immediately aroused the vigilance and attention of the Danxia Sect's top leaders. They judged that True Man Chiyu was affected by his inner demons, fell into depression, behaved strangely, and wanted to leave everyone behind and form a baby alone!

But in his current state, he is bound to fail in his tribulation!

We must find Akabane Masato and stop him!

However, Sapindus mukorossi has already taken all the golden elixirs to the front line to start a new round of confrontation and attack and defense. In the Liuxia Mountains, only the great elder Chenxi Zhenren is left.

Originally, Akabane Masamune was supposed to set out on a combat mission today, but he didn't expect something like this to happen.

As for the confrontation on the front line, Sapindus and others could not withdraw immediately, otherwise it might cause terrible consequences such as turmoil or even collapse of the front line.

And True Man Chenxi has to continue guarding the Liuxia Mountains and cannot leave easily.

Therefore, the task of searching for Akabane Zhenren temporarily fell on the shoulders of the Yunshan Sect.

Soapberry asked Lin Le and Wu Yan to stop other combat missions and lead the Yunshan disciples to search for the whereabouts of Chiyu Zhenren!
But there are vast mountains and huge crowds of people. A night has already passed. Where can I go to look for someone?
The only good news is that because the Danxia sect is currently at war, the border of the territory is in a state of complete blockade, with a large number of guard posts set up and monks patrolling back and forth, making it basically airtight.

The border report said that the Second Elder had never been seen crossing the border!

Therefore, True Man Akabane is basically still within the jurisdiction of the Danxia Sect!

The only stupid way Lin Le could think of was to pursue any clues he could find, such as the direction of the escaping light observed by the monks on duty at the mountain gate and the monks in Danxia Market; at the same time, he divided the Danxia Sect's territory into many areas with Liuxia Mountains as the center, and dispersed the disciples to be responsible for each area, searching carefully and observing the situation in the area.

I searched like this from day to night, but still found nothing.

Everyone was extremely anxious. With every passing moment, Master Chiyu was closer to failure in overcoming the tribulation and being devoured by the inner demon.

It was not until late at night that Lin Le received the report. He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up!
"We found Elder Gu. She has returned from the front line, but she did not come to Liuxia Mountains. Instead, she flew to an unknown place."

Wu Yan didn't react: "You mean..."

"She went to see Akabane Master. Akabane Master must have sent her a message!" Lin Le said confidently, "Let's follow her!"

You know, the Danxia Sect kept the information about the disappearance of Master Chiyu a secret from Gu Nishang, for fear that she would become distracted and cause trouble while being on the front line.

But now that she knew the news and returned in a hurry, it seemed very suspicious.

Others might just think that the news leaked accidentally, but Lin Le remembered that Master Chiyu gave the "True Secret" to him to inherit, as if he was sure that Gu Nishang would not be there either!
Now, it is most likely that it was Master Chiyu who summoned Gu Nishang.

An ominous premonition loomed in Lin Le's heart. What would happen? Could it be that Master Chiyu would be influenced by his inner demon and harm Elder Gu?
He hurriedly passed the message to Danxia Sect, then to Yunshan Sect, and then chased after them at full speed with Wu Yan.

Fortunately, the place where Gu Nishang was found was not far away.

……

Gu Nishang's golden and red escape light faded and landed in front of an inconspicuous rock cave.

After hesitating for a moment, he strode in.

Why did Master summon us secretly in such a remote place?

The whole path was full of winding stone roads, but fortunately, although it was deep, there were no forks in the road. When we reached the deepest part of the cave, a huge stone chamber appeared before our eyes.

There are traces of artificial excavation here, and there are some stone benches, stone tables and stone beds inside, as if someone lived here before, but it has long been covered with dust.

Gu Nishang saw the tall figure standing in front of the stone wall with his back to her. There were two balls of flames burning in the corner, casting a huge shadow on the wall that almost covered the entire stone room.

"Master." Gu Nishang bowed down without hesitation, "I'm here, what do you want me to do?"

The figure trembled, and Akabane Zhenren Mumu's voice came: "...Nichang? Why are you here?"

Gu Nishang looked up in confusion, but Akabane Zhenren did not turn around and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, I was the one who called you here. You didn't tell anyone else, did you?"

Gu Nishang nodded: "Master summoned me in secret and told me not to leak it, so I left the front line and came here to take orders."

Master Chiyu laughed softly, and the laughter echoed faintly in the stone chamber. Gu Nishang suddenly felt that the master in front of her gave her a very strange feeling.

But before she could say anything, she heard Akabane ask again: "Nichang, look here, take a good look... Do you remember this place?"

Gu Nishang straightened up, turned around and looked around, carefully looking at the various furnishings here and the entire stone chamber, thought hard and shook her head.

"Master, I have never been here before."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sudden surge of spiritual pressure rushed up, and red flames blasted straight up to the dome!

Akabane Zhenren was furious and shouted, "You have never been here? How dare you, how dare you say such a thing!"

Gu Nishang panicked: "Master, I really have never--"

A ball of dangerous flame condensed in Akabane's palm. The terrible high temperature distorted the surrounding air. Akabane's words were full of hatred: "After doing something like that, you can still say that!"

Gu Nishang was stunned. She had no idea what her master was talking about.

But the flames dissipated in an instant. Akabane Zhenren hugged his head and hesitated: "That's right, that's right, you are not him, you are different from him."

Only then did Gu Nishang see clearly that the master in front of her had a pale face, red pupils, purple lips, and the spiritual pressure on his body was completely distorted, explosive and fierce. In an instant, a terrible word filled her mind.

The inner demon enters the body and one becomes possessed!
At this moment, Akabane Zhenren suddenly calmed down and looked coldly at the passage leading to the stone chamber.

"We have guests coming."

In a flash of light, Lin Le and Wu Yan had already blocked Gu Nishang behind them. Lin Le stared at the bloodshot eyes of Chiyu Zhenren and said in a deep voice: "Senior Chiyu, calm down and don't be controlled by your inner demons! Take back yourself!"

Masamune Akabane was stunned for a moment, his eyes became clear for a moment, and then were covered with blood again.

"Inner demon? Ridiculous. I'm fine now! Everything is under control!"

"Then what are you doing here? And why did you call Elder Gu here as well?" Lin Le said unyieldingly, "What exactly is this place? What do you remember?"

Akabane Zhenren was obviously stunned for a moment, and the flames on his body flickered.

Lin Le took advantage of the situation and continued, “Or, what on earth did you encounter here back then?”

Master Akabane's body shook violently, and he looked at Lin Le in shock. The flames on his body suddenly went out.

"Tell us, senior." Lin Le said sincerely, "No matter what happened to you, no matter what the truth is."

"Speak out, embrace this inner demon, accept the real you, and then you can be free!"

Akabane stood there for a long time before he murmured, "Back then..."

"Brother, Brother Pei——"

The crying voice echoed in his ears, and Pei Lie was in a trance and suddenly woke up.

Before him was a dark cave, a winding stone path, several fellow disciples with nervous expressions, and a young girl who was clenching her hands tightly and crying anxiously.

Ah, that was his beloved lover, Junior Sister Fang. They had already agreed to be together for life. He only needed to inform the master and they would become Taoist couples.

Yes, yes, now I am carrying out the mission of eliminating the evil cultivators, and I have come to the hiding place of these evil cultivators with my fellow disciples.

Encouraging his fellow students who were thinking of quitting and holding the hands of his lover, Pei Lie led everyone forward again.

After breaking through various traps and breaking down the door of the stone chamber, they encountered the evil cultivator who was robbing the lives of the living.

But the intelligence was wrong, he turned out to be a powerful foundation-building feathered warrior!

Moreover, he seemed to be in good condition. Even if he had suffered any injuries in the past, they were all recovered by absorbing the blood, flesh and essence of living people!
In the face of foundation building, how could the six Qi-cultivating people on our side survive?

A powerful spiritual pressure enveloped the six people who were trembling and full of despair. The evil cultivator played with a ball of flame and laughed.

"How about this, I'm also very bored staying here, how about you put on a show for me to cheer me up? I'll give you a chance."

“Let’s fight, the six of you, fight here. I will let the one who survives go.”

The six people fell into a cold silence. Pei Lie bit his tongue fiercely and shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense!"

However, with a whoosh, the lava-like long sword in the evil cultivator's hand flashed, and the junior brother closest to him was split into two halves along with his defensive magic weapon!

"Either we all die here, or only one survives." The evil cultivator laughed heartily, "Quick, quick, let me see what you choose!"

Boundless fear made everyone breathless. When the evil cultivator raised his sword once again, a fellow disciple shouted in collapse, and the sword flew across the sky - towards the fellow disciple beside him!
A bloody fight began, and Pei Lie's hoarse shouts were drowned out by the beast-like roars of his fellow disciples.

Just as he was about to swing his two swords to stop his fellow disciples from killing each other, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. If he had not deployed his defensive weapon in time, his internal organs would have been pierced!
Pei Lie turned around with great shock and grief, and was faced with the distorted face of his junior sister above him and the bloody sword in her hand.

"Brother Pei, I'm sorry, I want to live!"

"So, please die for me, okay?"

Pei Lie's last string of sanity snapped...

When he regained consciousness, there were five corpses lying around him, and his sword was slowly being pulled out of Junior Sister Fang's body.

He was the one who survived in the end.

"That's it... That's it!" Pei Lie turned around and shouted at Lin Le who had watched the whole incident, "You saw it all! You see it clearly now!"

"The evil cultivators forced us to kill each other, and my fellow apprentices, my beloved, wanted to live in disgrace and betrayed me!"

"They raised their butcher knife to me, so I had to fight back."

Pei Lie slowly squatted down, squatting among the corpses and blood.

"Why? I was forced... Why am I still haunted by my inner demons..."

Lin Le sighed deeply.

He watched the blood surging up on the ground, wrapping around Pei Lie's body layer by layer, tightly entangling him.

Watching the corpses on the ground slowly pieced together into five disciples who surrounded Pei Lie, each of them had a distorted face and shed two lines of blood and tears.

"Because this is not the truth." Lin Le looked at Pei Lie with pity.

"Because even at this point, you still refuse to accept who you really are."

"Even if you fooled me, can you fool yourself?"

In an instant, a ball of red flame burned, and the blood and corpses were all turned into ashes.

The young man Pei Lie transformed into Akabane Zhenren. He stared angrily, and suddenly -

The whole world is broken!

One hundred and eight clear water whips stretched out from the void, locking the body of True Man Chiyu tightly, while Gu Nishang had already grasped a Qingyang and was gritting her teeth, hitting it at True Man Chiyu's chest!

boom!
One hundred and eight empty water spirit whips shattered at the same time, the green flames and red flames intertwined and expanded, the stone chamber collapsed, and the mountain shattered!

Lin Le and Wu Yan pushed aside the collapsing rocks and moved upwards. Wu Yan also threw out a long, glittering silk ribbon and grabbed Gu Nishang who was staggering back.

The three of them walked out of the collapsed rock cave and returned to the vast world.

Lin Le looked down somewhat unwillingly.

The inner demon of Akabane Zhenren was so strong that it actually broke through his own dream weaving early!
Otherwise, when she looked at him and pulled him into the dream, Wu Yan and Gu Nishang would be able to completely control him if they let go.

but now--

boom!
A red sun rises from the pile of rocks!

Akabane Masato's completely distorted face looked particularly terrifying, and his scarlet eyes stared at Gu Nishang.

"Traitor! How dare you kill your master!"

"You are so inhumane! It's you! It's you!"

"You, the seed of the Tenth Heavenly Lord!" (End of this chapter)
