Prince Ya took advantage of the chaos and lifted Lu Qingye out of everyone's sight.
Set up a barrier and let go of the hand holding the back of Lu Qingye's neck.
Lu Qingye fell to the ground, his eyes wary, and his hands tightly grasping the light sword.
"Senior Ya... you said you wouldn't hurt me..."
Lu Qingye's thoughts were spinning in his mind, and he wanted to use Prince Ya's oath that day to get out of the current predicament.
Even if she realizes that she may be a demon that everyone in the Taoist sect can kill... she still wants to live...
Prince Ya looked down at Lu Qingye.
"Did you already plan for today?"
Lu Qingye couldn't help but grit his teeth when he heard his words.
How could she have calculated this to this day!
The belief that I had firmly held in my heart all these years suddenly collapsed at this moment!
If she was really so scheming, how could she survive for a few days? !
Looking at her slightly red eye circles, the sadness, anger, confusion, and pain in her eyes...
Prince Ya looked away.
He took out a jade piece from his own space and threw it to Lu Qingye.
"This is the soul-sealing jade. It is made from fragments of my natal magic weapon, the soul-slaying knife. It can seal the soul power and isolate the aura on your body. Combined with the inscriptions in your dantian, others can't tell anything is wrong."
Lu Qingye was stunned.
"Senior Ya...why...you want to help me?"
Prince Ya bent over and stared at Lu Qingye with his deep eyes.
"You should be glad that you are not a demon clan. Although the soul clan is not my clan, they have been living in seclusion in the east of the island for tens of thousands of years and do not fight with the monks. The soul-cutting knife in my hand is somewhat different from the soul world. Origin, otherwise, I won’t be able to suppress the extremely rich soul power in your body.”
Lu Qingye's hand holding the Liguang Sword couldn't help but tighten.
So, the gas in her body is soul power?
Is she a soul clan?
"Although I don't know what kind of opportunity you got to have this human body now. But you'd better remember what you said back then. If you dare to do something that harms the Taoist sect and our human race in the future, I, Prince Ya, will definitely not I will tolerate you! I will also personally understand today’s...mistakes!"
Prince Ya did hesitate just now. Logically speaking, this kind of non-my race, as a high-level member of the Taoist sect, must be killed.
However, things about Lu Qingye flashed through his mind.
A mortal child has been dependent on a mortal for several years. After testing his immortality, he wanted to seek a life-saving elixir out of friendship. After entering the Immortal Sect, he worshiped the Taoist Sect, rescued people in Shanhe City, Xiang Leng kept good intentions in his heart, and after entering the secret realm, he also rescued him...
Prince Ya has seen too many hypocrites who pretend to be righteous but are extremely hypocritical.
They have hypocritical smiles on their faces, but behind their backs they are even more demonic.
Born as a casual cultivator, he suffered countless oppressions and hardships along the way.
The passionate young man at that time also showed his sincerity in his heart in the "righteousness, overall situation, and worldliness" again and again.
Probably because he still had a few good thoughts in his heart, he showed mercy at the last moment.
Looking at Lu Qingye who finally shed tears at this moment, Prince Ya pursed his lips.
"You better not disappoint me."
After saying that, Prince Ya turned and left.
When Prince Ya took action, Jiu Ji had no time to react. He was filled with fear and looked around for Lu Qingye.
Finally, he sensed Lu Qingye's location with the help of the contract.
"Owner!"
Jiuji's voice brought Lu Qingye back to his senses.
Seeing her sitting on the ground, Jiuji stepped forward and opened his mouth.
"Master, are you okay?"
Lu Qingye wiped the tears from his face and shook his head.
"I'm fine."
The two of them made a tacit agreement to stop talking and returned to a crowded place.
Fu Yichen, who was looking for Lu Qingye, finally saw her in the crowd.
Seeing that she was intact, Fu Yichen was relieved.
Gu Qingchen was pleasantly surprised when she saw him.
"Master!"
Gu Changheng also entered the secret realm.
The moment Lu Qingye looked at him, he seemed to see some other emotions in the other person's eyes.
Gu Changheng glanced around her and landed next to her.
"Master."
Lu Qingye's voice was a little hoarse, sounding like he was wronged and scared.
Gu Changheng nodded slightly.
"As long as nothing happens."
After dealing with the zombies, everyone returned to the camp.
The originally small garrison was now even more crowded.
With those powerful leaders in charge, Gu Qingchen, Sheng Huaian and the others were finally free.
At this moment, everyone felt like they were reborn.
Lu Qingye returned to his cave abode on the pretext of wanting to rest after fighting for many days.
The moment the restraint was closed, she closed her eyes and slid to the ground.
Jiu Ji transformed from a kitten into a human form and gently sat next to her.
After a long silence, Jiuji spoke.
"Master... don't be sad, and don't be confused... In fact... the human race, the demon race, the soul race, are all part of this world. The battles between the various races are nothing more than different positions and entangled interests. . People have good people, and so does the soul. The most important thing is... you are yourself, we... In this world, there are too many things you can't help yourself. Be yourself, and be worthy of your heart and worthy of heaven and earth. What’s the difference if it’s a human being or a soul?”
Jiuji said what was in his heart. He did not expect that Lu Qingye turned out to be a mysterious soul clan.
When he made the contract that day, he didn't want to say these words.
Because in his heart, the emotions between people and monsters cannot interact.
Others don't know, but the thoughts in one's own heart are like a fish drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold.
Not to mention the two opposing sides.
It is too difficult for Lu Qingye, the genius of the human race, to feel what he feels and think about things from his perspective...
But now, the two of them feel that they are connected by the same fate.
At least that's what Jiuji thinks.
Lu Qingye raised his head and exhaled.
"Thank you Jiuji."
She is not as fragile as Jiuji thinks.
It's just that I feel a little confused at the moment.
In fact, she knows that no matter what, she will survive tenaciously. This is the obsession in her heart...
The moment the soul power in her body was about to be suppressed, she was prepared to be discovered by her fellow disciples, expelled from the sect, and hunted down by Taoist cultivators.
If there was a chance to live, she would never give up.
At this moment, it was much better than she expected.
However, Lu Qingye understood that concealing something temporarily was not a long-term solution.
She must become stronger before she is exposed. If that day comes, she will at least have the ability to protect herself.
I may be lucky enough to get Prince Ya's help today, but I may not be able to avert danger in the future.
Moreover, she has to find the secrets in herself.
Why did he appear in the Taoist cultivator's territory of Qingxuan Continent as a soul clan member? What was the purpose?
With his goal in mind, the confusion in his heart faded away, and Lu Qingye took a deep breath.
Standing up from the ground, his eyes became firm.
"You are right, be myself, be worthy of heaven and earth, and be worthy of your heart!"
Jiuji felt completely relieved when he saw that she didn't give up on him because of this matter.
