On the home court of the Hidden Sword Sect, Ji Hongxi stole the show.
After the abused Lishuijian disciple stepped down from the stage, he was carried away with only one breath left.
What is surprising is that Shangguan Li changed his usual low profile and cooperated with Ji Hongxi to defeat the disciples of various sects.
If each sect didn't choose only one person, both of them would probably get a spot.
When everyone was discussing whether the Hidden Sword Sect would come out on top in this incident, Holy Son Pei Geli showed off the strength of the Holy Land.
In today's last battle, Shangguan Li was defeated by Pei Geli. The final five will be decided tomorrow. When the game ends, everyone is discussing tomorrow's battle.
It's night, the thick night covers your eyes, and the distant mountains form shadows.
In the main building on Wentian Peak, Ji Hongxi was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. His clothes were scattered, the room still smelled of alcohol, and the sleeping person still smelled wild.
The window was half open, the moonlight peeked in, and the furniture in the room looked like many monsters in the haze, with ferocious edges and corners.
Someone appeared silently beside the bed.
The man bent down and put his fingers between Ji Hongxi's eyebrows with careful movements.
The moment his fingers were about to touch the skin, Ji Hongxi, who was lying on the bed and snoring slightly, opened his eyes.
There was no smile like before in those eyes, and the dark pupils were glowing with dots of red in the darkness.
Red light flashed from the depths, Ji Hongxi raised the corners of his lips, and his expression was inappropriate.
"Hey, Master Shengzi stayed up in the middle of the night and came to my place. Are you planning to climb into bed?"
"It's a pity, I don't like this."
His smiling tone was like that of a close friend, but his palms came out fiercely and grabbed at Ji Hongxi, with murderous intent pouring out.
Ji Hongxi didn't hold back as soon as he struck, and his fierce moves made Pei Geli retreat.
He frowned and stared at Ji Hongxi with a solemn expression, but made no move to fight back.
"You have demonic energy."
Pei Geli said what he believed to be the facts: "How could the Hidden Sword Sect allow you to be admitted into the sect?"
The voice of questioning was aloof and condescending, unique to Holy Land disciples, like an immortal who had not fallen into the mortal world. Occasionally, after seeing the wretchedness of the world, he couldn't wait to judge in the name of an immortal.
Just like those sanctimonious villains, they don't ask about right and wrong and only follow their own beliefs.
But are those beliefs really correct?
Looking at the confusion on Pei Geli's face, Ji Hongxi was extremely sarcastic.
"Why, I have demonic energy in my body. Is the Holy Son coming to slay demons?"
Ji Hongxi's sarcasm was too obvious, and Pei Geli frowned.
There are not many disciples in the Holy Land, and the brothers and sisters are close to each other and never blush.
As the Holy Son, he spends most of his time practicing holy arts in the secret realm of the Holy Land. Although he is smart, he is a novice when it comes to getting along with others.
But he could feel Ji Hongxi's disdain for him.
"I just want to find out. If you are accidentally contaminated by evil spirits, I can help you get rid of those evil spirits."
He was well thought out.
As the Hidden Sword Sect is at the forefront of the nine major sects, if it accepts a disciple contaminated with demonic energy as a disciple, it will definitely cause a sensation if this kind of thing spreads.
Master said that everything now focuses on the stability of the world of cultivation.
That's why he wanted to find out secretly. If the other party needed help, he could take action.
"help me?"
Ji Hongxi was stunned for a moment. After thinking about what he meant, he couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you, Lord Holy Son, for your kindness, but I don't need it, please."
Pointing at the door, Ji Hongxi's eyes darkened. There was already murderous intent in his eyes. If he dared to stay any longer, Ji Hongxi would really kill him.
After a moment of silence, Pei Geli turned and left.
His movements were very stealthy, and he didn't disturb anyone all the way down the mountain, until he saw a girl standing with a sword at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Yun looked at Pei Geli's holy and innocent face, expressionless.
"Lord Holy Son, my senior brother's matter has nothing to do with you, and I won't do it again."
Pointing his frost-white sword in the distance, Pei Geli felt the same coldness and resistance as Ji Hongxi on the opponent's body.
Pei Geli lowered his eyes.
"I have no ill intentions."
no offence?
There was a mocking look on Lu Yun's face. If there was no malice, the look she saw during the day was probably an illusion.
"Before I came, I made a divination for fellow Daoist Ji."
"If the demonic aura on his body is not removed, there will be twists and turns in the future, which may harm you all."
That hexagram was extremely dangerous, but in the hexagram, Ji Hongxi was not an enemy. The contradictory hexagram made him want to find out.
"Shengzi Pei, maybe before you learn divination, you should first learn how to behave."
"This is Wentian Peak."
Lu Yun pointed to the mountains behind her: "If you were hostile tonight, you would have died in the hands of my master."
"So...you're welcome."
Lu Yun turned around and left. She was just here to warn Pei Geli.
When asked how many people on Tianfeng treated her like family, she would never allow her senior brother to have any problems.
"He relies on demonic energy to practice, which will speed up his backlash."
Facing Lu Yun's indifferent back, Pei Geli said something.
The next moment, the sword was pointed at his heart, and Pei Geli also felt that he was locked by something at this moment.
The threat came from Wentian Peak.
As the peak master, Yuntian must be watching him somewhere.
As long as he says such inappropriate words again, he will be killed.
"Pei Geli." Lu Yun called the other party's full name, with a strange inquiry in her eyes: "How about I make a bet with you."
"Tomorrow you face off against my senior brother. I bet my senior brother can defeat you without the demonic energy you mentioned."
Ji Hongxi possesses demonic aura.
This demonic energy can indeed make Ji Hongxi's cultivation more advanced, but Ji Hongxi never thought of using the demonic energy. Instead, he tried his best to suppress it in his body.
All the glory that Ji Hongxi has now was achieved by himself, not by the other party's words or a single word.
The people of the Holy Land claim to be knowledgeable about the past and present, but the disciples they teach are so ignorant of the world. It is really ridiculous.
No matter whether Pei Geli should make the bet or not, Lu Yun went back, leaving Pei Geli standing there with a sad look on his face, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.
The little story of this night has not spread to Wentian Peak.
Early the next morning, Lu Yun was dug out of bed by Ji Hongxi.
"Let's go and watch Senior Brother beat someone up."
Facing this overly enthusiastic senior brother, Lu Yun couldn't beat him and could only lie down.
There were more people in the Doudao Academy than yesterday, and there was even a gambling table. It was noisy. As soon as Lu Yun arrived, she was pestered by some disciples.
"Sister, bet on who can stand at the end."
Liu Ru blinked and asked curiously.
Since we are going to fight, we must fight to be the first and second best.
Lu Yun looked at it and placed the bet and smiled. She could only say that her senior brother was really popular.
Many people didn't even analyze the situation and just suppressed Ji Hongxi without thinking.
Lu Yun took out a hundred spiritual stones and pressed them on Ji Hongxi's body. Seeing this, Liu Ru followed suit.
"Senior Sister Lu is pressing against Senior Brother Ji, do you want to follow?"
"Of course I'll follow you, hug your thighs, and you'll have meat to eat."
Muttering, Lu Yun raised her eyebrows. Why didn't she know when she became so prestigious in the Hidden Sword Sect?
