Xiahou Jinxuan sighed, "It's Zhuge Liang, Miss Xia. How come you don't even recognize Master Kongming?"
Xia's cheeks flushed red as she stood with her hands on her hips and angrily said, "So what if you know a celebrity? You're still just as weak and frail as I am. I could knock you down with one punch!"
Seeing that she was emotional, Xiahou Jinxuan was really afraid that she would punch him, so he quickly waved his hands and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I know your fists are strong, I was wrong, alright?"
Xia raised her head high and said smugly, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
Long Ming laughed and said, "Then I will wait for your good news. My sound transmission technique has reached its limit."
Then, Long Ming's voice never rang out again.
"Elder Moyi will keep the Water Spirit Orb for the time being. Now that this matter is settled, I will take my leave."
Chu Yang turned to leave, but Mu Changlan blocked his way with a worried expression.
"Sect Leader Chu, would you mind coming with me to Twilight Village?"
Chu Yang then remembered that Mu Changlan's matter had not yet been resolved. There were still dozens of people in the entire Mu'ai Village who relied on ghost energy to survive and could not leave the village for the rest of their lives.
"You've redeemed yourself, so fine, I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Changlan was so moved that she burst into tears. She had been waiting for this moment for more than ten years.
"Sister Mu, I want to go too!"
“Miss Mu, I am also very curious about where you were born and raised.”
“I’ll go too.”
Everyone started talking at once, and finally decided that they all wanted to go and take a look at Twilight Village.
The fact that no one in the village gets old is enough to arouse great curiosity.
Xiahou Jinxuan hesitated for a moment, then said that he also wanted to go.
"Young Master, you're already home, so don't cause any trouble. Why don't you just stay home and enjoy your life?"
Xie Cangxing didn't quite understand Xiahou Jinxuan's thoughts. On the way to Shu Mountain, he had complained a lot about how difficult the mountain road was and wished he could go home immediately. Why was he now interested in going on a long trip?
“Miss Mu is also my friend. I definitely have to help with something so important.”
As Xiahou Jinxuan spoke, he secretly glanced at Xia.
Mu Changlan understood immediately, covered her mouth and chuckled, "It would be wonderful if the young master were willing to travel with us, and we'll reimburse any expenses along the way."
Xie Cangxing's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right, we really can't do without the young master."
Xiahou Jinxuan shook his head and chuckled, "It's because you can't live without the money bag I carry."
Jiang Cheng remained silent, seemingly preoccupied.
Xiahou Jinxuan looked at him and said, "Brother Jiang, I know you want to tell Uncle Ouyang everything, but there's no need to rush this. After we finish dealing with the matters in Mu'ai Village, we'll accompany you to Zhejian Manor."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "After I've dealt with Miss Mu's matter, I can go back by myself."
Xia said angrily, "Brother Jiang, you can be so stubborn sometimes. What's wrong with us going back with you? We're all friends. Why can't you help others and others help you?"
Jiang Cheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Chu Yang explained for him, "He's probably afraid that his demon identity will be exposed and drag you down. He'll go back alone. Even if Ouyang Ying can't accept him, that's his problem. He'd feel uneasy about involving you."
"Huh?" Xia looked at Jiang Cheng with a complicated expression, then suddenly fell silent.
“Miss Xia and Brother Xie are alright. You have the protection of Sect Leader Chu, so you don’t have to worry about gossip. But Young Master Xiahou and Miss Mu have become involved with me. I’m afraid they will face a difficult situation in the future. Even if I accept myself, the world may not accept me.”
After much hesitation, Jiang Cheng finally voiced his concerns. He wasn't afraid of his identity being exposed; his only worry was that his friends would be condemned by everyone because of him.
“Brother Jiang, I am not a child. I know what I am doing and I will take responsibility for my actions.” Xiahou Jinxuan said solemnly, “Even if you are unwilling, I will go to Zhejian Manor with you.”
Mu Changlan and Xia nodded at the same time.
Xie Cangxing chuckled and said, "Our sect leader is even friends with the Demon Lord Chonglou. He's not afraid of what the world will say, so what do we little shrimps have to worry about? As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too..."
Chu Yang couldn't stand it anymore, so he kicked him in the butt and said irritably, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. If you like nitpicking so much, when you get back, copy all the books on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion ten times."
Xie Cangxing's lips trembled, and his face turned visibly pale.
Chu Yang glared at him fiercely, then turned to the others and said, "Once you've made up your mind, let's go. However, I have important matters to attend to and cannot personally accompany you on your arduous journey. I can only send an avatar to go with you."
As they were speaking, a loud bang rang out, and smoke billowed out, revealing yet another "Chu Yang" before the crowd.
A gasp of surprise rang out.
"There are two sect leaders!"
Xia pointed at the extra shadow clones and shouted.
Xiahou Jinxuan exclaimed, "Truly exquisite magic, so lifelike, just like a real person."
Xie Cangxing stroked his chin, thinking that if he learned this spell, he would have one more person to help him copy the book. He would have to go back and ask his senior brother, the sect leader, for guidance as soon as possible.
After leaving his clone behind, Chu Yang abruptly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Let's hurry up and leave. If my dad finds out when it gets light, I might not be able to leave."
Xiahou Jinxuan urged everyone to leave.
Before leaving, he inexplicably turned back to look at "Xiahou Tao".
"Don't worry, I'll explain to your father."
Xiahou Tao's expression was kind, almost exactly the same as usual.
Xiahou Jinxuan was slightly lost in thought, and without saying a word, he bowed deeply to the other party.
This bow is for the deceased, and also for the more than ten years of nurturing and guidance they have received.
the other side.
Inside the Palace of Souls.
The divine tree, which had only appeared a short time ago, suddenly emitted a shimmering light, illuminating the entire silent palace.
On a branch, a bright white fruit has appeared. The fruit is less than the size of a fingertip and is obviously not yet ripe, but it is already exciting.
"How did fruit suddenly grow?"
Pirate Chu Yang was puzzled.
"Look, it seems like there are images flashing through this fruit?"
Through the fruit, everyone saw illusory scenes of a fantasy world, and the final image froze on the moment when Xiahou Jinxuan bid farewell to "Xiahou Tao".
"Is it because we changed the plot? Or is there some other reason?"
"I don't know, but we can't rule out the possibility. There's too little information available right now, let's observe for a while longer."
"What exactly is the use of this fruit?"
"Could it be that eating it will give me chakra again?"
"If that's the case, how is it any different from the Divine Tree in the Naruto world?"
"Don't be impatient. Something that can appear in the Soul Palace can't be that simple."
A group of people were having a lively discussion, mostly looking forward to what they would get after the fruit ripened.
After watching for a while, Magic Chu Yang returned to the laboratory and took out the Demon Refining Tower that Immortal Chu Yang had given him a few days ago. In order to figure out why the Water Demon Beast was refined into the Water Demon Pearl, they had been working overtime to study it.
Before the cause could be fully understood, the other magical beasts brought by Chonglou were also refined into magical artifacts. The colorful beads lay quietly in the hands of the magical Chu Yang, making it seem as if he were wholesaling marbles.
The five demonic beasts correspond to the five demonic orbs, and also to the five elemental powers. However, compared to the gentle nature of the five elemental orbs, the spiritual power in the five demonic orbs is extremely violent and aggressive, requiring sufficient strength to suppress.
"When one's cultivation level reaches a certain point, one can be refined into a magical artifact. So, is the problem with the formation itself, or something else?"
"An accidental mutation caused by the characteristics of the Demon-Eating Gu?"
"It's not impossible..."
Magic Chu Yang took the Five Demon Pearls and the Demon Refining Tower and left the laboratory. He had no clue what to do for the time being, so he decided to return the items to Immortal Chu Yang first.
Back in the main hall, as soon as the immortal Chu Yang stepped out of the nebula, he handed over the item.
The immortal swordsman Chu Yang asked, "Any clues?"
Magic Chu Yang shook his head. "We need to conduct several control experiments with the Demon-Eating Gu to find the cause, but I personally feel it should be some kind of mutation. After all, bloodline mutations often occur in bloodline factor experiments."
Xianxia Chu Yang said, "So, in other words, powerful demons that are over ten thousand years old will most likely be refined into magical artifacts, and it all depends on luck?"
Magic Chu Yang nodded and said, "That's right."
The immortal Chu Yang said with a troubled expression, "Magic weapons are not very useful to us. We don't use them in battle, and we're not used to using them. Some functional magic weapons are not bad though."
"This is equivalent to wasting over ten thousand years of cultivation..."
Magic Chu Yang laughed and said, "It's not easy to encounter a ten-thousand-year-old demon. If it weren't for Chonglou, where would you get the Five Demon Pearls? You might not encounter one for most of your life."
"Your way of persuading people is just like Xie Cangxing's," said the immortal hero Chu Yang helplessly. "But you're right, it's really possible you won't encounter one."
The two chatted and laughed for a while. During this time, the fruits on the sacred tree gradually grew and ripened, turning bright red and juicy, and were about to fall.
"Come quick, look! The fruit is about to fall!"
Demon Slayer Chu Yang shouted, gathering everyone present together.
Surrounded by the crowd, the immortal hero Chu Yang caught the ripe fruit.
The fruit exudes an enticing aroma, an attraction that is hard to describe, stirring desires deep within the soul.
