I'm his wife, how come I don't know?

No.

Si Ling shouldn't have ended up like this.

Jiang Chu stood up and rushed towards the battle stage at a rapid speed.

The water-blue figure was like a meteor, passing by decisively.

Lu Shuyan stretched out his hand, trying to catch the disappearing figure, but caught nothing.

"bump--"

Jiang Chu fell heavily on the edge of the fighting stage and was blocked by the barrier set up by Xing Lan.

He can't get in.

He kept slapping the barrier.

"Master! Master! Please let me try!"

Jiang Chu kept slapping the barrier.

One, two, three...

"Master, I beg you, please let me try."

There was desperation and pleading in his call.

The beats were like heartbeats, rapid and powerful.

Xing Lan and Yin Yue, the head of Zhaiyue Peak, both turned around and looked at Jiang Chu who was kneeling on the ground.

As Xing Lan waved his hand, the barrier spread out like water waves and Jiang Chu was let in.

Jiang Chu stumbled and rushed to Si Ling, who was already half soaked in black air.

The sapling was sacrificed, and it recovered a little and was one and a half meters tall.

The light gold and green spiritual power also had some color.

Jiang Chu gritted his teeth and directed all the light golden and green spiritual power towards Si Ling.

The black air rolled like thick clouds, and the two-colored spiritual power was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Jiang Chu's face turned paler.

"I want to save him! I want to save him!"

He began trying to force his spiritual power towards the sapling.

The sapling grew slowly and became two meters tall.

The golden and light green spiritual powers have also undergone some substantial changes.

Jiang Chu invested his spiritual power without hesitation.

The tumbling black air made crackling sounds when it encountered the golden and light green spiritual power.

Evaporating in the air like water vapor.

However, the black air in front of him was as high as the sky and the earth, and it was impossible for this small tree to purify it.

Jiang Chu became anxious.

Looking at Si Ling, his eyes were already two-thirds black.

There was a pain in my chest, as if an invisible needle was stabbing into it fiercely.

Fear rose in his heart.

Just then, a voice came to my ear.

"Jiang Chu, do you want to save him?" It was the voice of Su Yue, the spy of the demon clan.

While purifying Si Ling, Jiang Chu replied, "I want to."

"As long as you take his place, that's all." Su Yue said with a smile, "You don't need to use any spiritual power. Just grab the Soul Sacrifice Banner and all the evil spirits will rush towards you."

Jiang Chu sneered, he was not a fool.

Once he did that, the demons would confuse right and wrong and use false evidence to label him a spy.

The entire Xingchen Peak and the entire Longyin Immortal Palace will be implicated because of this.

And everyone will repeat the same mistakes and end up dying.

Jiang Chu would not fail to see the overall situation.

Jiang Chu said sarcastically, "The demons will die. The demons will lose. If you want to deceive me, wait until your next life."

"Haha. Jiang Chu, you're just being stubborn."

"After today, your Si Ling is dead, and you can't escape."

Jiang Chu was too lazy to argue with the demon spy, and he would not listen to anything she said.

Instead, he concentrated all his efforts on purifying the evil spirit.

"Jiang Chu, you haven't awakened the third power yet, and your puppet is also in the recovery period. Don't be so stubborn, go back."

Jiang Chu lowered his eyes and put away the puppet.

But he did not jump off the stage.

Xinglan and Yinyue looked at each other, closed their eyes, and then opened them again, both with resolute looks on their faces.

"seal."

The silver and green cage looked like the hand of God.

With irresistible pressure, he slowly and firmly suppressed Si Ling.

Its huge figure, like doomsday, filled the hearts of every disciple who witnessed it with despair.

"boom--"

The cage slowly pressed down, and its heavy pressure made the air freeze.

In the audience, some soft-hearted disciples could not bear this cruel reality and closed their eyes.

I don't want to witness the fall of this first genius.

Xuan Hao's eyes were dyed red with tears, and his heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness. This matter concerned the demon clan...

Jiang Chu on the stage thought the time was almost right.

He turned and glanced at his master's back.

He murmured in a low voice, his voice choked with sobs:

"Master, brothers, I'm sorry. If there is an afterlife, I will work like a slave to repay your kindness."

Just when the seal was about to be pressed down, Jiang Chu's figure rushed into the gap that was about to close like lightning.

"Om-"

With a low and long resonance, complex sealing runes echoed between heaven and earth.

The entire battlefield returned to calm at this moment.

The seal was suppressed in the endless abyss of Longyin Immortal Mansion.

The figures of Jiang Chu and Si Ling also disappeared from everyone's sight along with the seal.

Xing Lan witnessed the last moment when Jiang Chu rushed into the seal. He stood there in a daze, unable to believe it.

Everyone, including Xing Lan, stood there in a daze, their hearts filled with shock and grief.

"Just now - was it Jiang Chu who rushed in?" a disciple asked carefully.

"Yes - Jiang Chu he -" There was a tremor in his voice.

Everyone didn't know what to feel.

Lu Shuyan stretched out his hand, then dropped it weakly, his cold eyes red.

Lu Shuyan felt a lot of pain, the pain felt like a sharp blade, tearing his heart and lungs apart.

He felt as if all the blood in his body was being drained away at this moment, and waves of dizziness surged into his heart.

His steps were a little unsteady, and Mo Yao supported his waist from behind.

Mo Yao didn't say a word, his eyes fixed on the battle stage, at the equally cold and dignified figure.

Xing Lan's hands were trembling slightly under his sleeves. Master Zhai Yue lowered his eyes, turned around and left the fighting stage.

The entire competition stage of Longyin Immortal Mansion was silent, both on and off the stage.

After a long time, Xing Lan turned his head, his eyes still cold.

"The demons have infiltrated Longyin Immortal Mansion. Si Ling, a disciple of Yunyin Sword Sect, and Jiang Chu, a disciple of Longyin Immortal Mansion, have been temporarily sealed."

"The competition is suspended. Disciples Qi Yu will temporarily return to the cave where Longyin Immortal Mansion is located and check each one until the situation is completely clear."

Xing Lan's words were calm, yet contained tremendous pressure.

All the disciples felt a chill on their backs.

"Disciples, listen to my orders! Cooperate with us to kill the demons!" I don't know which disciple shouted.

"Disciples, listen to my orders! Cooperate with me to kill the demons!"

Wave after wave shook the Longyin Immortal Palace.

------

There is an endless abyss beneath the Longyin Immortal Mansion.

Jiang Chu and Si Ling were sealed in this small world.

Si Ling, who was filled with demonic energy, stared at Jiang Chu with a pair of blood-red eyes.

There was a deep sadness in Jiang Chu's eyes.

His eyes fell on the soul-sacrificing banner floating before him.

When the voice told him how to save Si Ling, he had already decided to do it.

Not doing it in public is to preserve the reputation of Longyin Immortal Mansion.

"Si Ling, you may not know that you are the only warmth I have felt since I came to this world, besides the established characters like Master, Senior Brother, and Xiao Er."

"The only warmth and salvation I found was myself."

Jiang Chu's voice was low and sincere.

He paused and continued:

"Si Ling, if I survive, will you be friends with me?"

However, the only response he got was the system's cold warning.

[Wang Ba: Warning to the host, once you hold the Soul Sacrifice Banner, the evil spirit will enter your body and your system will automatically peel off. Your remaining lifespan will not be enough to resist the invasion of the evil spirit.]

Jiang Chu smiled bitterly: "You system developers are so repetitive and ruthless."

【Wang Ba: Host, why are you doing this? You have already escaped the original plot, why do you want to destroy yourself for a character in a book?】

[Wang Ba: If you don't take the soul-sacrificing banner, these lifespans will be enough to keep you alive until your master comes tomorrow.]

[Wang Ba: Host, please think rationally and complete the task first. ]

Jiang Chu looked at Si Ling, whose eyes were still cold, and his eyes became firm.

"What about Si Ling? What did he do wrong?"

"Why should he bear my fate?"

"I don't want a victory that requires me to complete my mission by stepping on the blood and flesh of innocent people."

"I, Jiang Chu, may be an ant, or an NPC in the myriad worlds, or I may never become a protagonist."

"But I have a conscience. Conscience cannot be violated."

His voice wasn't passionate, nor was it meant to confront anyone.

The sound echoed softly in this small space.

After saying that, Jiang Chu no longer hesitated.

Without using any spiritual power, he took a step forward and grasped the soul-sacrificing flag.

"Roar--"

The evil energy that had originally calmed down seemed to have found an outlet and separated from Si Ling.

Rushing towards Jiang Chu frantically...
