Chapter 247: Doubt and Fear
Elder Kong Qing could no longer sit still when he heard this. He was getting furious, but he couldn't directly confront the law enforcement elder, so he just stared blankly in frustration.
The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were about to step forward and take the person away. Fang Hean's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously protected his junior sister behind him with a stern expression.
"Wait a minute."
A man's cold voice came from outside the hall, his tone was cold and indifferent, and he walked towards the crowd slowly.
The disciples were stunned and stepped aside, then bowed and saluted, "Disciples greet Elder Shuanghua."
Li Nian followed Su Yu, so naturally no one would stop her from entering the hall. After she bowed to the people above, she slipped to Jiang Yuxia's side.
"Junior brother, what do you think about this matter?" Suifeng glanced at Li Nian below and asked without any expression.
"The ancient demonic energy on Spiritual Medicine Peak is not the original source, but merely a clone of the Sky Devourer. However, not everyone can control it. Senior Brother, do you think Jiang Yuxia can do it?"
"Eating the sky?" Chi Yang didn't understand and slowly asked a question.
"The ancient demonic energy now occupies Yan Ye's demonic body, making him no different from a human. His name is Void Devourer."
These words were like a stone thrown into the water, causing a violent splash and spreading out layer upon layer of ripples.
A barrier suddenly appeared above, blocking everyone's sight.
Jiang Yuxia blinked, holding Li Nian's hand for a moment, her eyes full of confusion, "Niannian, what happened?"
Li Nian gave her a soothing look and explained in a low voice, "It's okay, they are discussing something, just wait."
The top leaders of Tianyan Sect are naturally divided into different classes. Only the sect leader and seven elders are qualified to participate in discussions of this level, and the rest are isolated.
Li Nian calmly glanced at the people here. There were not only people from the Law Enforcement Hall, but also several elders without real power. But who was that person?
Now Yuejian is accompanying Baiji to repair his meridians, and she is stuck again and can't get away to check.
The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. No matter what she does, she will be extremely passive.
Jiang Yuxia calmed down completely after Li Nian came. This was the first time she felt the undercurrent in the world of cultivation. It was obvious that she was dragged into this muddy water.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, I will protect myself." She forced a smile and said to Li Nian
Li Nian lowered his eyes, and for a moment he wanted to ignore everything, abandon everything, and take Jiang Yuxia away.
Su Yu, who was sitting upright above, suddenly felt his heart tighten for some reason. He looked at Li Nian in panic, and his fingertips clenched suddenly.
"Junior brother? Junior brother..."
Shuifeng didn't hear Su Yu's answer, and looked up at him in confusion. Seeing his panic, he frowned.
"Junior brother, what happened?"
Su Yu finally came back to his senses and tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Nothing, please continue."
"It's been so long, it's impossible to track down the demon spies hiding in the sect's upper echelons." Suifeng said
Dan Yun was the only female cultivator among the group, and she was more meticulous. "It's hard to guarantee that there aren't any demons among the direct teaching team. The others aren't a big deal, but the direct teaching matter can be a big deal or a small one."
Each direct disciple is an elite disciple trained by the whole sect with their combined strength. They are in charge of all the affairs of the sect and are also the sect's last resort.
Elder Chiyang glanced at Li Nian thoughtfully, and after a long pause, he said, "As a Primal Chaos Spirit, Li Nian must be able to control some of the ancient demonic energy. Her cultivation is quite good, so why not let her investigate secretly?"
Su Yu tapped his fingertips lightly, frowning slightly as he said, "Let me think about it for a moment. Let's first deal with the matter of Spiritual Medicine Peak."
Elder Chiyang was slightly stunned, touched his nose and stepped back. He almost forgot how much Elder Shuanghua loved little Linian. He shouldn't have said that.
Elder Wangyou had a calm expression, without a hint of clues. After he glanced at Li Nian and Jiang Yuxia, his voice flowed like a long stream.
"It's inappropriate for the Law Enforcement Hall to detain you. There's a formation set up by Venerable Xuanhe in the back mountain of Piaomiao Peak. Why not let Junior Brother Jiang stay here for a few days?"
"The formation set up by Junior Master-Uncle can not only protect Yuxia, but also shut those people up. I think it's good." Dan Yun commented.
The others also agreed. Suifeng waved his sleeves, opened the empty barrier in front of them, and reappeared in front of everyone.
After learning where Jiang Yuxia was being held, Li Nian's heart tightened and her eyes were momentarily flustered. She looked up at Su Yu for help, and received a comforting look from him.
Li Nian blinked, and before Jiang Yuxia left, he stuffed something into her hand and gently put it into her sleeve.
On the way back to Juyun Peak, too many things happened tonight, and Li Nian felt a tightness in his chest and a little breathless.
She was still walking with her head down, but her forehead hit a wall of flesh. She hissed, covered her forehead, took a few steps back, and looked up in confusion.
"Master?"
The moon hanging in the sky cast even and soft moonlight. The young man's half-tied black hair was reflected by the scattered light, making him look very soft.
"Why are you so distracted? Are you worried about Jiang Yuxia?" he asked gently.
Li Nian pursed her lips, and the words that Chuchuxu had said tonight came to her mind again. A subtle chill passed through her heart, and she couldn't help but take another step back.
"Li'er..."
Su Yu stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on her face, the light in his glass eyes sparse and broken. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Li'er, you're... afraid of me, right?"
Li Nian lowered her head and naturally did not see the sadness in his eyes. She shook her head, her voice soft and confused.
"I don't know. My mind is too confused. Master, please let me calm down."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran straight towards Zhezhi Garden without looking back.
The young man was startled and extremely panicked. He subconsciously reached out to pull her, but his hand only brushed against the corner of her sleeve and he couldn't catch her.
"I can't catch her..."
The young man's voice was lonely and broken, his hands frozen in place as he stared blankly in the direction she left, his handsome eyes filled with an intense and inextricable sadness.
Tonight is destined to be restless.
All the undercurrents buried deep underground gradually broke through and emerged before everyone's eyes.
The next morning, Li Nian, who had been sitting in silence all night, went down the mountain and headed straight for Piaomiao Peak, but this time he landed in Qi An's yard.
"Brother Qi An, are you awake?"
Li Nian stood in front of the door, tapped three times with his fingertips, and asked loudly
After a while, she knocked three times, but there was still no response. She frowned and listened carefully to the sound inside, and her face suddenly turned dark.
The snoring was almost shaking the roof off. Could it be that he was the one who slept the best last night in the entire Tianyan Sect?
Li Nian pushed the door open expressionlessly and walked towards the inner room. She immediately discovered the person curled up in the mattress and rushed over in two or three steps.
She threw the quilt away, condensed a water ball and hit him in the face.
"Ahh, the roof is broken...it's leaking..."
