After Shangguan Xue's master Sheng Qingjun was trapped in Wuwu Mountain, the Xiaoyao Sect was left with only one Nascent Soul ancestor, Ye Chengan.
Shangguan Xue is one of the few people who can get close to the ancestor, except for the sect leader and a few others.
It is much easier to control a foundation-building monk than to control a golden elixir monk.
Xu Chunniang lowered her eyes and looked at him, "When did you collude with Wuwu Mountain?"
Xie Changyuan was silent for a moment, "I only found out about it in the past two years."
Although he is the son of Zhenren Hunyuan, his cultivation level is not even that of a golden elixir, and he does not understand some core things.
I couldn't get any important information from Xie Changyuan, but I also learned a lot of bits and pieces of information.
It wasn't until she couldn't ask any more questions that she left the small world and found Zhuge Yun.
"What are you talking about, you suspect something is wrong with Shangguan Xue?"
When Zhuge Yun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
His two junior sisters were not very easy to deal with in private, so they came to him one by one to complain.
Xu Chunniang didn't say much. She waved her hand lightly and saw a faint black mist wrapping around her wrist, adding a bit of eerie color out of thin air.
Zhuge Yun's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes looking at Hei Wu were more serious than ever before.
He had never seen this black mist before, but he had a vague hunch that this thing might be the demon soul that Shangguan Xue mentioned.
"The day my senior brother went to the City Lord's Mansion to challenge me, I was contaminated with this thing."
Xu Chunniang looked calm and told everything about someone secretly attacking her.
"So, the demon soul didn't possess it successfully, and it was imprisoned by you?"
A strange color flashed in Zhuge Yun's eyes, as if he was meeting her for the first time, and he looked at her several times from beginning to end.
He didn't know much about Demon Soul.
He only knows that this method is extremely difficult to prevent, and once possessed, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Shangguan Xue was accidentally possessed by a demon spirit back then, and it was Ye Chengan, the Supreme Elder of Nascent Soul, who took action himself.
Even so, it can only be suppressed but cannot be completely eliminated.
Because the demon soul is entangled with part of Shangguanxue's soul, if it is forcibly expelled, it will damage her soul.
Xu Chunniang nodded, "In short, I am not possessed by the demon soul. But I have felt the same movement of the demon soul in Senior Sister Shangguan before."
"How can I trust you?"
Zhuge Yun actually believed most of it, but the matter was so important that he remained cautious.
Xu Chunniang was silent, but saw a cluster of small flames rising from her fingertips, burning wisps of black mist into ashes.
At the same time, the demon soul in her body screamed loudly.
"It hurts, it hurts, stop burning, stop burning!"
Xu Chunniang frowned, not wanting to burn the demon soul, so she stopped.
The flames suddenly disappeared, and the black mist took the opportunity to shrink back with a "whoosh".
"Now, senior brother, should you trust me?"
Zhuge Yun stared at the fire with burning eyes, and did not look back until it completely disappeared.
He smiled softly, "Since Junior Sister has been cleared of suspicion, I can trust you. But you can rest assured that the demonic soul in Junior Sister Shangguan has been suppressed."
As he spoke, he briefly explained the whole story.
From accidentally discovering the demon soul on Shangguan Xue, to having doubts about Hunyuan City, and finally coming here to find out.
"So, when senior brother fought in the city lord's mansion that day, was he just putting on a show?"
Xu Chunniang raised her eyebrows. She had some vague guesses before, but she didn't fully understand until now.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhuge Yun became extremely angry and always felt that he was at a huge loss.
"I originally thought that the City Lord's Mansion just wanted to test the situation and use Xie Changyuan's hand to take the opportunity to destroy me, but in the end, they actually attacked you."
"Then senior brother's Taoist heart has been damaged?"
"Of course I'm just pretending."
Zhuge Yun rolled his eyes, "How can a cultivator indulge in love? If his talent is poor, it will be fine if he can't make any progress in cultivation. I don't want to ruin my path to immortality."
Xu Chunniang nodded with a smile, "Since it's just pretending, then is the injury that you've been lying on the bed for half a year also pretending?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Yun's eyelids twitched.
He forgot about it.
He coughed dryly, his eyes a little weak, "That's not entirely true. I was seriously injured at the time. Junior sister must not have forgotten it."
However, Xu Chunniang, who was sitting opposite, refused to let him go easily.
"Then Senior Brother did not hesitate to pretend to be sick and go to great lengths to go to Tianyuan Secret Realm. What did he do there?"
Zhuge Yun paused for a few breaths, then smiled and said, "I also want to know what the junior sister gained by pretending to be dizzy to enter the secret realm."
The two stared at each other, and in the end Zhuge Yun took the lead in choosing to be honest.
"So, you and Senior Sister Shangguan worked together to trick Xie Changyuan?"
Xu Chunniang's eyes were strange, thinking of the captive still lying in her little world.
"It was just a matter of course that I tricked him. I mainly went there to look for things, but unfortunately something happened there... You know, I couldn't find anything anyway."
"Then how did those junior brothers who followed Senior Sister Shangguan die?"
Zhuge Yun showed a hint of helplessness.
"It was not safe for the three of them to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, so Junior Sister Shangguan took them into the secret realm and failed to protect them. However, I also tricked Xie Changyuan and made him lose a lot of people, which was considered revenge."
Xu Chunniang inexplicably remembered the time when Xie Changyuan and his party encountered the two golden elixir stage snakes.
Originally, they had a chance to get rid of the two big snakes, but it seemed that the female cultivator in red caused some commotion and got into a fierce fight.
As soon as she thought about this, the look in her eyes when she looked at this senior brother suddenly became subtle.
Zhuge Yun didn't notice it at all and just sighed lightly.
"The evil cultivators on the Wuwu Mountain side used formations to trap people from the five major sects in the secret realm. Now Hunyuan City has taken action against our Xiaoyao Sect several times, with very big plans.
If I miss this time, I don’t know when I can get the Realm Breaking Talisman and rescue the Supreme Elder and Sect Master from the secret realm..."
"Breaking Talisman?"
Zhuge Yun glanced at her, "Oh, I forgot you didn't know. In addition to my Xiaoyao Sect, many monks from the other four major sects also came to go to the secret realm to obtain the realm-breaking talisman, but those who accepted this task , mostly true..."
Having said this, he suddenly froze and stared blankly at the golden talisman in front of him.
"Is this it? I just have it in my hand."
Zhuge Yun's heart was pounding, almost drowning out his voice, "How did you get it?"
He guessed that Junior Sister Xu had benefited from being in Tiandao Palace, but he didn't think about the Realm Breaking Talisman at all.
After all, those who received this mission were all true disciples of major sects. Junior Sister Xu was not a true disciple, so naturally she did not receive the mission.
But why does she have this thing in her hand?
Xu Chunniang put away the realm-breaking talisman with a normal expression, "I just asked if there was anything that could forcibly break the secret realm, so I got this."
Due to the rules of the Tiandao Palace, matters related to it are not allowed to be discussed in the outside world, so her words were unclear, but Zhuge Yun understood.
The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and in the blink of an eye, everything is dark again.
