Fang Yuan raised his head to take a look at the courtyard, but saw Su Zhi blocking his view with a sword, and said with a bad expression:
"You want to say that I, Elder Su, imprisoned your brother? Why didn't you say that your brother was kidnapped and taken to Qingyang Mountain?"
"I, a disciple of the Qingyang Su family, am dedicated to cultivating and slaying demons. The elders guarding the outside are even more upright and have never slacked off. How can I allow you to criticize me!"
Su Zhi spoke impassionedly, and his face turned red even more deeply. But what surprised Hua Ruxue was that he actually heard the meaning of Fang Yuan's words. Could it be that he had been with Su Yi for a long time?
Last night, she guessed that Fang Yuan was lying about "sensing his brother's aura when the barrier was broken." Combined with the fact that he mentioned the elder several times today openly and secretly, and always looked at the elder's residence, plus he specifically sought out Su Yi. This young master.
It was almost certain that Fang Yuan would behave like this because he must have discovered something at the elder's place, but he did not dare to say it clearly.
The elder has a high position of authority, and ordinary disciples have no time to pay respect and will not doubt him at all. But the young master is different. In terms of status alone, he overpowers the elder.
In addition, Su Yi always smiles like a spring breeze, and his whole body is like a layer of jade. He makes people feel easy to get close to and convincing, and it is difficult for Fang Yuan not to find him.
I wonder if what Fang Yuan discovered is the same as what Su Yi discovered.
Fang Yuan lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Su Zhi's eyes. He hesitated for a long time and only said: "...I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? What do you mean by sensing your brother's aura? With your cultivation during the Qi training period, you still want to sense the aura through the life card? What a liar! After building the barrier yesterday, there are traces of spiritual and demonic power all around. Everything has been eliminated, what did you feel just now? It’s full of lies!”
Su Zhi was very angry. If Su Ye and Su Yi hadn't stopped him, the long sword would have struck at him right now.
His elders worked hard to guard the barrier, but in the end, a yellow-haired boy suspected that his brother had been imprisoned!
Su Zhi has always been intolerant of disdain in his eyes, let alone outsiders smearing the Qingyang Su family. When he was in Luoying Valley, even a direct disciple like Su He dared to say a few words.
When Fang Yuan saw this, he didn't dare to hide anything anymore. He immediately knelt down and told everyone a piece of news that shocked everyone.
"I...I saw a demonized seventh-level monster that day!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Zhi's angry expression froze instantly, and Su Yi rarely showed a surprised expression. Even the butterfly demon who was concentrating on eating the cake and the silver snake who was staring at her were also surprised.
It is said that monsters will no longer be demonized when they reach the seventh level, but Fang Yuan said that he saw a demonized seventh-level monster.
There is not even a single seventh-level monster in the entire Qingyang Mountain, let alone one that can be transformed into a demon. If even the seventh-level monsters in the Forest of No Return were demonized, why were the lower-level monsters still fine?
If it is true, where did the demonized beast go? At the seventh level, not to mention the entire Qingyang Mountain, even all the monks in the world cannot match it!
"Don't try to bluff me!" Su Zhi pointed at Fang Yuan with the tip of his sword, which trembled slightly.
It was obvious that this unbelievable thing came from Fang Yuan who made three false sentences and two false sentences, but they were so shocked that they believed it.
Fang Yuan fell to the ground and continued with some fear: "That afternoon I came here as usual to wait for my brother's return, but before I entered the village, I saw the demonic energy inside. I took a brave look and saw a demon. Transformed into a level seven monster!"
"The monster had eaten many people and was hitting the barrier. Just when I thought it was about to escape, it suddenly shrank into a ball..."
Although Fang Yuan didn't say the rest, several people looked at each other and understood the meaning of his words. This demonized seventh-level monster was a contracted beast.
Using the power of the contract, it can be forcibly reduced to its original shape without any aggression. When the contracted beast becomes demonic, the contractor must suffer the backlash of the contract and his cultivation will regress. This gives Fang Yuan a chance to escape.
In silence, Su Yi bent down to help Fang Yuan up, and showed the images of the previous broken barriers in front of several people.
He said: "Although the damage to the barrier this time was caused by demonized monsters, judging from the cracks, it is different from the past. The barrier was not damaged from the outside."
These words almost confirmed Fang Yuan's statement that the barrier was damaged by an impact from the inside by a demonized seventh-level monster.
Although Hua Ruxue guessed that what Su Yi discovered was related to the damage to the barrier, she never thought that when he went down the mountain to repair the barrier, he would still bring the memories of the past with him. It was really outrageous.
Not to mention, he didn't leak any news along the way. If it were her, she would have been unable to hold back and ask.
Su Yi added: "Although the outer barrier of Wuyou Town is relatively weak compared to other places, the ones that can damage it are at least comparable to level four monsters in the out-of-body stage."
"With the cultivation level of the garrison elder in the out-of-body period, it is no problem to kill the fourth-level monster. However, this elder has disordered spiritual energy in his body. Not to mention the fourth-level monster, even the second-level monster cannot be killed."
Hua Ruxue silently lowered her head and looked at her feet. She never expected that just because he had a word with the elder and delivered supplies yesterday, he would actually be touched by someone.
She also wondered why this man suddenly changed his temper and said such a long list of compliments...
What if the elder's cultivation has not regressed, and he rashly explores people's spiritual power, isn't he afraid that people will annoy him?
Well, he's really not afraid. He said to the left and right: "Long time no see, the elder has improved a lot. It's really a blessing for us." Then he excused himself.
Thinking of the second-level monsters that appeared outside the barrier yesterday, it seemed that they did not appear suddenly, but that the elders were unable to kill them and could only drive them away.
Hearing this, Su Zhi couldn't come to his senses for a long time. Just now he was filled with indignation and said it was impossible. Who would have thought that the elder really had a problem.
"No wonder the young master proposed to stay in Wuyou Town. It turns out something was wrong yesterday." Su Zhi put away his sword and stared at the barrier in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Yi explained to him: "What he needs the most are blood-replenishing pills, qi-replenishing pills, and bone-producing pills. At first, I thought the elder had an accident. But after checking it out yesterday, I found out that his cultivation level has regressed and is not as good as before."
Then his eyes fell on Hua Ruxue. Perhaps because her eyes were too eager, he smiled back.
When their eyes met, Hua Ruxue hurriedly lowered her head and continued to look at her feet in a daze, thinking to herself: With Su Yi's cautious and sinister temperament, he must have checked Su Huaixin's previous medicine request records, which is really outrageous.
At this moment, Su Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a cold voice, as if he was talking about someone who didn't matter.
He said: "The person stationed here is Elder Su Huaixin. He was originally the second elder of Xuandong Valley. Like Elder Su Huaiqian, he has been unable to break through the out-of-body stage."
As soon as the three words "Su Huaiqian" came out, Hua Ruxue suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. Looking back, all the emotions in Silver Snake's eight eyes turned to anger, and the ends of the eyes were slightly red, as if she was trying to restrain something.
Su Ye lowered his head and asked Su Yi, "Do I need to report this matter to the head of the family first?"
Not to mention whether the elder really imprisoned Fang Yuan's brother here, the elder cannot absolve himself of the blame for the fact that the contracted beast was turned into a demon without retribution.
"No, it's more important to save people."
After speaking, Su Yi led a few people towards the deserted courtyard in the distance.
Fang Yuan followed him and bent down to say thank you: "Thank you, young master! The young master is magnanimous, chivalrous and benevolent. I will bear in mind the young master's great kindness and kindness, and I will repay the young master like a cow or a horse in the future!"
After learning the truth about the damage to the barrier, Fang Man's whereabouts naturally became clear. The demonized beast will die if it does not drink human blood for a period of time. Su Huaixin asked for so many elixirs to replenish qi, blood and bones, so Fang Man must have been imprisoned here as food rations.
But why do seventh-level monsters become demonic? Just now, Su Ye mentioned Su Huaiqian and the out-of-body period, which made Hua Ruxue intuitively feel that there was something fishy in it, and Su Ye seemed to know something.
She knew Su Huaiqian, but had no impression of Su Huaixin, so she could only ask Die Yao for news about the two of them.
The butterfly demon hesitated for a moment, and after getting Su Ye's consent, he replied to her: "The cultivation of these two people has been stuck in the out-of-body stage for hundreds of years. The master of the house has a life-extending pill in his hand. Su Huaiqian brought you back in the first place. Ask for the longevity pill."
"Su Huaixin originally asked himself to go down the mountain to guard the barrier, also to ask for the life-extending pill, but in the end, Su Huaiqian got it first. Seven years ago, Elder Su Huaixin went back to Qingyang Mountain to ask for an audience with the family master, but at that time your name was revealed. The head of the family was furious about the incident and refused to receive anyone."
"Furthermore, Su Huaixin has been staying here and has never left. Everyone said that Elder Su Huaixin's end was approaching. At the beginning of the year, they were already discussing who should be the elder guarding the barrier."
After saying that, the butterfly demon added in a low voice: "Speaking of which, the master also started looking for things from that time on. I still don't know what the master is looking for."
According to the Butterfly Demon, Su Huaixin failed to obtain the Life Extension Pill because of the appearance of Hua Ruxue, and the deadline was approaching. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only sigh: "Seven years ago, so many things happened."
Su Ruoyu's stealing of treasures and Su He's forgetting about Su Ruoyu also happened that year, after she was thrown into the Forest of Beasts.
"Ha!" A sneer suddenly sounded from behind, it was Silver Snake.
Hua Ruxue always felt that a big hole was going to be drilled out of her back, but at this time she didn't want to pay attention to the silver snake. Rather than delving into what happened to Su Huaixin and Su Huaiqian seven years ago, she was still more worried about how to deal with the demonized seventh-level monster later.
A seventh-level demon whose power after transformation is equivalent to that of an ascended immortal. Now that a demonized seventh-level monster appeared, Su Yi did not ask for support, but instead led them to rush in to save people!
She was a little unsure of Su Yi's thoughts. She usually acted cautiously, but now she rushed forward like Su Zhi.
Looking at Su Zhi and Su Ye again, Su Zhi had recovered from the elder's concealment of the contracted beast's transformation into a demon. Su Ye's expression was as usual, and neither of them showed any obvious worry. It seemed that the demonized seventh-level beast was not will cause them no harm.
The butterfly demon was still nestling in her arms and eating flower cakes, looking very leisurely and contented. Silver Snake still stared at her fiercely, wishing to tear apart the bones and eat the flesh, not caring about the demonized seventh-level monster at all.
Even Fang Yuan looked happy that his brother was about to be saved.
Could it be that there was something else she didn't know about?
Following Su Yi's footsteps, the abandoned courtyard gradually changed its appearance. The dilapidated fence turned into a red wall and green tiles. The only drawback was that a corner of the wall was broken. It must have been where the contracted beast that Fang Yuan saw escaped from. .
Fang Man disappeared seven years ago, which means that the contracted beast was already demonized at that time. The contracted beast turned into a demon. Su Huaixin suffered from the backlash of the contract and his cultivation regressed. However, he was able to trap the demonized seventh-level monster to this day without anyone noticing anything unusual.
It means that there is a powerful suppression formation in this courtyard.
Su Yi had just delivered the pills and other supplies yesterday. At this moment, Su Huaixin should be meditating and adjusting his breath in the formation, and Fang Manding, who was the "ration", was also imprisoned there.
"Young Master, there are no spiritual energy fluctuations in the courtyard." Su Zhi took back the paper crane in his hand and explained to everyone: "This paper crane can sense the weak spiritual energy fluctuations around it, which means that the formation is not in the courtyard."
Su Zhi said it seriously. Those who didn't know it thought that this formation was so difficult to find that they even took out the treasures at the bottom of the box to use it.
Hua Ruxue and Die Yao looked at each other, and Die Yao also had a look of disgust.
Just now, he praised him for becoming smarter, but now, he couldn't see the mess in the house, which was clearly the trace left by the contracted beast.
