Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Realm of Illusion
Li Yu's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily: "You have imprisoned the souls of so many people in this 'illusory realm' and prevented them from being reincarnated, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven?"
Jiang Ji smiled and said, "If it weren't for the power of the 'Illusory Realm', your mother would have died a long time ago, do you really think that the people from the Fire Sect are vegetarians?"
As soon as he heard the words 'Leaving the Fire Sect', Li Yu's momentum instantly weakened, and said, "How is my mother?" The most important reason why he came to Luoyang this time was to find their holy relic, the Moon Spirit Bead, for the people of the Flame Sect in Southern Xinjiang, in exchange for a chance to live.
This matter dates back to a month ago, when they were still in Liangzhou, Feng Shu found Baili Guhong, the head of the KitKat Sect, to come to discuss who attacked Li Yu secretly. Unexpectedly, a man in black suddenly appeared, seriously injured Baili Guhong with just one palm, and then lured Feng Shu to chase after him. Li Yu was worried that his mother would be injured and would naturally not let him take the risk alone, so he quickly followed. As a result, the three of them were naturally defeated and captured alive by the other party.
It wasn't until that time that he knew that it wasn't the old monster that Feng Shu and Baili Guhong had guessed before, but the three holy envoys of the Fire Sect. The reason why they would target them was also very simple, because their holy beast sensed the breath of the Moon Spirit Bead on Li Yu's body.
The Lihuo Sect has always been stuck in southern Xinjiang, not only never participating in the temple dispute, but also never getting involved in the Central Plains martial arts, which can be regarded as a sect that has no quarrel with the world. The Moon Spirit Bead is a sacred relic in their sect, the only treasure among the three spiritual artifacts that can independently gather the aura of heaven and earth, and has been enshrined in the Jiaye Temple for many years. But I don't know why it suddenly disappeared, and the one who disappeared with the Moon Spirit Bead was also the Pure Zen Master who was responsible for guarding the Moon Spirit Bead. This incident naturally caused a shock from the upper echelons of the Fire Sect, so the three holy envoys came out together and vowed to recover the Moon Spirit Bead.
Although the three holy envoys left in a hurry with the sect members for some reason, Li Yu did not dare to slack off in the slightest, because the two of their mother and son, including Baili Guhong, who was present at the time, were all tricked by the other party. He had tried many methods but couldn't get rid of the Gu poison, but he almost went mad because of it. So I just died of this heart, and planned to find the Moon Spirit Bead first. Fortunately, in addition to himself, his mother and Baili Guhong's Gu were easily relieved by Jiang Qi, which could be regarded as relieving him of his worries.
Of course, the other party did not let him look around aimlessly, but passed on to him a set of mental formulas, as long as he practiced the first layer of the formula, he could sense the traces of the Moon Spirit Bead.
He chased it to Luoyang, to the mansion in the suburbs, to the underground auction, and then to this 'illusory realm'.
Jiang Qi tilted his head slightly, and Ji Changsheng stepped forward silently, took out something from his arms and threw it over.
Li Yu stretched out his hand to catch it, opened it and found that it was the purple jade bracelet that Feng Shu never left his body, and heard Jiang Ji speak again: "Don't worry, the Gu in your mother has almost been removed, she wants me to tell you that everything is based on the overall situation, and you must not be rash." Speaking of this, he smiled, "Sect Leader Li is a filial son, so I don't think I need to repeat the other words." ”
As soon as Li Yu heard this, he understood, the expression on his face changed, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "Okay, I can hand over the Soul Leaving Dafa to you, but I have one condition." ”
Jiang Qi said, "Speak!"
Li Yu looked directly into the other party's eyes and said word by word: "Release these living souls!"
"Yes!" Jiang Qi nodded without hesitation, "Anyway, they won't be of much use to me in the future, so I'll sell Sect Leader Li a face." ”
"Is what Master Jiang said true?" Li Yu thought it would take a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so easy, but he was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Qi glared and said, "Could it be that Jiang is a villain who has no faith in his words?"
"That's not what I mean. Li Yu hurriedly shook his hands and said, "It's just that I know that mirages are not easy to come by, and the mirage beads cost to refine the 'Illusory Realm' are not a small amount. The breakthrough of Master Jiang's 'Soul Splitting Dafa' is imminent, and the 'Illusory Realm' could have been of greater use to you, so you gave it up, is Master Jiang really willing to do it?"
Jiang Qi actually laughed when he heard this, and said, "It was originally so good, but now the situation is different." If Sect Leader Li gives me the Yin and Yang Bagua Mirror, I will still earn it. Speaking of this, he looked at Li Yu with a smile and an expression of 'I know everything'.
Li Yu's face suddenly became ugly, he was not a fool, how could he not hear the deep meaning of these words. Jiang Ji made it clear that only when Li Yu handed over the "Soul Leaving Dafa" and the Bagua Mirror to him, would he release the detained souls of the 'Illusory Realm'.
But what annoyed him the most was not the other party's greed, but the information revealed in Jiang Qi's words. He began to think quickly in his heart, since the other party clearly knew what he was doing, it would prove that his every word and deed was under the surveillance of the other party, plus most of the souls in this 'illusory realm' were the souls that Jiang Qi had detained over the years, so it was not difficult for him to speculate that there was very likely to be a place similar to the eye of heaven here, where he could see everything he wanted to see. In other words, wasn't his previous act of secretly hiding something under the laurel tree also seen by the other party? However, it is easy to test whether the other party knows everything or not......
He quickly had a plan in his heart, and suddenly asked, "Does Master Jiang still remember Ji Ting?"
Jiang Qi's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "What do you mean by this? That cheap ...... The woman is so bold that she actually wants to steal into the Ten Thousand Souls Cave......" After a pause at this, he glanced at the two elders surnamed Ji who had been silent next to him, and swallowed the second half of the sentence, and changed his words, "I didn't kill her, but I was especially kind to the face of the two elders." ”
Li Yu didn't answer, just shook his head slightly, and looked somewhere behind him with a sympathetic expression.
There is a lonely figure at some point, the reason why it is said to be a figure is completely because she really doesn't look like a person at the moment, only a skin is left on her body wrapped in a skeleton, her face is covered by long hair, and she can't see her appearance at all, with those hands with long nails, she looks like a zombie crawling out of the grave. If Li Yu hadn't recognized her clothes, he would definitely think that she was a zombie, because this was none other than Ji Ting, who had entered the secret passage first.
The three people from the Soul Refining Gate all followed his gaze, and were immediately surprised when they saw the figure, especially the second elder surnamed Ji, who estimated that he had never seen anyone more like a ghost than them in his life, and immediately shouted in unison: "Who is pretending to be a ghost here?"
It's a pity that the two shouted for a long time, but the figure was still motionless, and he didn't even raise his head.
Jiang Qi Huo Ran turned his head to look at Li Yu and said, "What does Sect Leader Li mean by this?"
"I don't have a penny to do this. Li Yu already had a number in his heart, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he said lightly: "You also know this person, it is the goddaughters of the two Elder Ji, that is, the nominal concubine of Master Jiang, Miss Ji Tingji!"
"What did you say?"
"She's Tingting?"
The two elders surnamed Ji exclaimed in surprise at the same time, glanced at each other, and both saw the look of anger in each other's eyes, and turned their eyes to Jiang Qi, who seemed to have a calm face.
Although Ji Ting is not related to them by blood, she was forced to accept her as her goddaughter at the beginning. But over the years, Ji Ting has been extremely filial to them, making these two old people who have been lonely all their lives feel the joy of family that they have never had. has long been reluctant from the beginning, and in the end, she loved her in every way, and even secretly passed on a lot of martial arts to her without Jiang Qi. This time, the second elder didn't see Ji Ting when he came back from his errands, not because he didn't ask the master. It's a pity that every time he is prevaricated, which makes the second elder a little annoyed when he is helpless. Now they actually heard that this person who is more like a ghost than a ghost is actually their precious daughter, so how can they not be shocked and how not to be angry.
Jiang Qi didn't look at them at all, but said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
Li Yu shook his head slightly and said, "My mother is still in your hands, so you don't have to worry about what tricks I will play." The "Soul Leaving Dafa" is yours, and I can also give it to you as well. But before you do that, keep your promises. ”
Jiang Qi snorted coldly: "Are you clearly not believing me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it. Li Yu shook his head, looked at the skeleton-like figure and sighed, "Did you ever promise Miss Ji that when she finds enough people with pure yin life for you, you will pass on to her the true 'Soul Splitting Dafa'?"
"Nonsense. Jiang Qi was furious as if she had been stepped on by her tail, and shouted, "When did I ask her to find someone with a pure yin life? Since she is the goddaughter of the two elders, she is her own person." I have already passed on the 'Soul Splitting Dafa' to her, and this illusory realm also came in by herself, so what does it have to do with me. ”
Li Yu retorted: "You made this illusory realm, without your permission, could it be that there are other people who can break in?"
Jiang Qi smiled and said, "Sect Leader Li really looks up to Jiang, do you really think that this 'illusory realm' can be controlled by Jiang?"
"What do you mean?" Li Yu was stunned, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart for no reason.
"Ho-ho-ho-"
At this moment, a shrill laughter sounded from all directions, and with the few masters present, it was impossible to tell where it came from.
The faces of the four of them changed at the same time, and before they could react, a whirlwind-like figure shot from above, grabbed Li Yu's arm and shouted, "Hurry up!"
As soon as Li Yu heard this voice, he immediately stopped struggling, because the person who came was Tang Zixi, who had left before.
