Chapter 298 Qi of Sky Demon (2/2)
Moments later, Shen Lian returned the liquor-filled Chinese gourd to Yan Bugui and sighed softly, ”Have you seen the shadow just now?”
Yan Bugui murmured, ”Come and go without a trace, that should be the Sky Demon.”
Shen Lian said, ”You're right.”
”Where did this Sky Demon come from? Could it be Yanxu, who secretly came back?” Yan Bugui spoked with slight fear. Although he did not confront Yanxu before, his Master, the Drunken Daoist had fought with Yanxu once. He still remembered the Drunken Daoist told him before about Yanxu and he actually looked frightened. That was the first time he saw that his Master, the Drunken Daoist was not behaving himself well.
Shen Lian shook his head and said, ”It is not. Zifu Peak always has the existence of Qi of Sky Demon, just that it was almost negligible. But now I am about to enter into Powang and bier is concealed, hence the deluded thoughts in me were influenced by the Qi of Sky Demon and turn into Sky Demon.”
Yan Bugui replied with shock, ”How does Zifu Peak even have Qi of Sky Demon?”
In Yan Bugui's perspective, even if Qi of Sky Demon appeared in Taiyi Peak, it would be more reasonable than it appearing in Zifu Peak. This was because the inherited ancient books and records in Taiwei Pavilion had Qing Xuan's fate protection. Moreover, there were too many immortal Zhenrens who used to live on this peak, their spirits should still be present. On top of it, there was also Qing Xuan's Daoist Masters' traces of rhythms. This was definitely a natural exorcism place. Not forgetting to mention that the old Daoist had spent such a long period of his life in Taiwei Pavilion.
Shen Lian said, ”This is also one of the reasons why I keep staying in Zifu Peak these few days. If it is not because I coincidentally am at the stage of breaking through Powang, it would be difficult to notice this even if I have become immortal.”
As his bier's nature was concealed, thus the deluded thoughts would sometimes naturally be revealed. Moreover, his deluded thoughts about getting closer to breaking away from whims cultivating level, caused the Qi of Sky Demon to act like the flies that smelled cracked eggs. No matter how deeply it was hidden, it would be lured.
It also was not the first time Shen Lian exterminated Sky Demon's virtual shadow anymore. However, he still couldn't find out where this Qi of Sky Demon that appeared was hiding in Zifu Peak.
Yan Bugui said, ”This issue has to be made clear. But hasn't Grand Ancestor Master realized there was something wrong about this previously?”
Since Shen Lian already discovered, this meant that he was better than the old Daoist who was a typical immortal Zhenren. Even if there was no such coincidence like what Shen Lian encountered, the old Daoist had been living in Taiwei Pavilion for so long. It was impossible that he discovered nothing about this.
Shen Lian was silent for a while, then he looked at the sky and sighed softly, ”I keep thinking, at that time he was weak and powerless, where did he get the Free Form Incarnation from? And how did he manage to secretly practice this evil art in Qing Xuan then only to be discovered by my Master, Zhenren Biyun, when he almost completely succeeded?”
”Impossible, definitely impossible,” Yan Bugui spoke with fear. If this did not come from Shen Lien, he would think the person who mentioned it was out of his mind.
Then he forced a smile and said, ”Why do you tell me all these, Headmaster? Junior Apprentice-Sister Gu was closer to you and Junior Apprentice-Brother Lu had a better fellowship with you, why do you tell me about these?”
Shen Lian smiled faintly and responded, ”Last time you used to be very brave when you were an outlaw. Why have you become timid now?”
Upon hearing what Shen Lian said, Yan Bugui did not know how to respond and decided to take a sip of liquor.
”Some things have to be said. Moreover, I am only making a guess, I'm not making an accusation that he was the person behind this. It's just that whether Qi of Sky Demon has anything to do with him, I didn't tell Senior Apprentice-Sister because I'm afraid that she would feel lost. I didn't tell Shouyi because he's a person filled with extreme justice. This conversation shall be treated as just a joke between us. Tonight there's liquor, stars and moon, you and I shouldn't disappoint such a good scenery and liquor,” Shen Lian spoke without many expressions.
Accompanying Shen Lian to drink the whole night, Yan Bugui realized that his hidden good quality liquor was all gone. His heart ached so badly. He left the hill at dawn. He would not want to meet Shen Lian anymore. At the same time, he went straight to his master, the drunk Daoist's abode of immortals after he left the hill. If his master was not around, he would go to Drunken Daoist's wine pool to steal some liquor.
