After Cultivating With the Enemy

The night wind howled and blew through the pine forest, and swirled the black sky.

The man in black walked slowly towards Ji Chaoyun, who subconsciously took half a step back, with no trace of blood on his pale face.

"Don't be nervous, we can have a good chat."

The billowing magic breath overflowed as the man in black spoke, and it was almost suffocating.

He stopped a few steps away from Ji Chaoyun, and said unhurriedly: "I just want to ask you to get something, as long as you give it to me obediently, I will let you go."

Ji Chaoyun asked: "Do you want the golden phoenix feather?"

"That's right." The man in black said, "Give me the golden feather of the Phoenix, and I'll spare your life, how about it?"

"dream!"

A long sword glowing with silver light appeared in his palm, and he stretched out the blade, stabbing the man in black head-on.

"Arrogance, do you think you can beat me?" The man in black sneered, and with a sway of his body, he easily avoided Ji Chaoyun's attack.

Ji Chaoyun didn't stop moving, the edge of his sword turned sharply, and the dazzling sword light reflected the entire pine forest pale.

clang--!

The ear-piercing sound of sharp blades clashing reverberated in the forest. Ji Zhaoyun's move was so swift that the man in black had to raise his sword to block it.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly went dark.

The long sword suddenly burst out with a more powerful sword energy than before, and the man in black felt his face turn cold, and pushed Ji Chaoyun away at the moment the mask was broken and took a few steps back.

The pure white mask fell to pieces, and a few drops of warm liquid dripped onto the grass along the profile of the man in black.He touched the sword wound on his face, and a smile appeared on that familiar face.

"I underestimated you... Chaoyun."

Ji Zhaoyun stared at him with a cold expression, without any emotion.

Yaoguang maintained a smiling expression, and said gently: "Chaoyun, why are you so stubborn. Obediently give me the phoenix golden feather and pretend that nothing happened today. Why bother to find out who I am?"

"If I don't investigate...would I have to let you hide behind Yaoguang Immortal Venerable and run amok?"

Fluctuating Light's expression froze.

Ji Chaoyun pointed his sword at him, and said coldly: "You are not Yaoguang, who are you?!"

Yaoguang fell silent for a long time, and after a while, he slowly said: "You are really smart, Chaoyun. If you can be used by me, you will definitely be able to make a great career, what a pity."

Ji Chaoyun's heart skipped a beat, sensing the imminent danger.He jumped up quickly, and a blood-red circle suddenly appeared where he was standing.A few strands of red rope sprang out from the magic circle, bound his hands and feet, and pulled him back.

Ji Zhaoyun landed on one knee, and the sword in his hand rolled down to Yaoguang's feet.

Yaoguang bent down to pick up the sword, and said: "If my guess is correct, Feng Qi has already rushed over. Do you think he changed into his original shape and flew around you all day long, and I couldn't notice it? Phoenix, Always so in the way."

"what are you going to do?"

Yaoguang smiled without answering, turned back holding Ji Chaoyun's accompanying sword, and walked towards the fallen body in the distance.

The lantern on the floor flickered, and Li Hao fell into the darkness, his body outline still trembling slightly could be vaguely seen.Yaoguang walked to his side, lowered his head, and there was a trace of regret and regret in his eyes.

Ji Chaoyun said anxiously: "Don't touch him! You are dealing with me, why should you hurt the innocent!"

"I don't want to hurt the innocent." Yaoguang looked at the person who fell on the ground, and his voice seemed a little helpless, "But who just happened to be by your side today. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. others."

Yaoguang sighed softly, flipped his wrist, and pierced Li Hao's chest from the same point with the blade from top to bottom.

The dim yellow light finally dimmed, and the body in the darkness trembled in pain, and completely stopped moving.

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes reflected the blood-red light of the formation, and his eyes were red: "You—"

There was a faint sound of footsteps in the distance, shaking the light to listen to it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to come so soon."

With a flash of his figure, he returned to Ji Chaoyun and handed the sword back to him.

Ji Chaoyun tried his best to resist, but he couldn't break free from the restraint of the rope.

More bright red ropes climbed up his wrists, controlling him to hold his sword tightly, and adjusted the angle so that the blade pointed at the shoulder of the flulight.

"Stop...stop!"

Ji Zhaoyun's voice trembled, but Yaoguang smiled and just stroked his hair, the black robe on his body quickly disappeared, and he returned to his usual makeup.

The jade pendant that had been trembling crazily in Ji Chaoyun's arms finally stopped, the red rope exerted force suddenly, Ji Chaoyun thrust out a sword with no way to avoid it, and the blade pierced into Yaoguang's shoulder.

The red rope disappeared together with the formation, Ji Chaoyun raised his head, and saw his pale face from the startled eyes of the other party.

"Chaoyun? Why do you..." Yaoguang looked down at the sword's edge that had sunk into his shoulder, and hurriedly backed away.

The sword edge was pulled out, and his clothes were instantly stained with blood.

"Don't run, come back!" Ji Chaoyun raised his sword and chased after him, his voice hoarse, "Get out of here—!"

At this moment, a ray of spiritual power flew out of the darkness and hit Ji Zhaoyun's wrist impartially.He let go in pain, and his sword rolled to the ground.

Ji Zhaoyun turned his head, and dozens of figures walked quickly from the depths of the pine forest path.

Tianshu walked in the forefront, frowning at him, the light of spiritual power on his fingertips had not yet dissipated.

Yaoguang stumbled and fled to Tianshu, the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding: "Mr. Tianshu, why did you come, this..."

"Tell me slowly, what's going on?"

Fluctlight pressed the wound, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and there seemed to be a moment of blankness.He turned his head to look at Li Hao who was lying on the ground, and suddenly said: "I... I came out to inspect, yes, I heard noises here during my inspection and rushed over, but I saw Chaoyun...he killed Li Hao, He even stabbed me."

Tianshu frowned, walked quickly to the side of Li Hao who was lying on the ground, squatted down, and probed into Li Hao's veins.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm dead."

Ji Chaoyun staggered and fell backwards, falling into a familiar embrace.He raised his head and saw the worried expression in those handsome eyes.

"No, it's not me...it's not like this..."

"I know, I know it's not you." Feng Qi hugged him tightly from behind, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Don't be afraid, it's fine, nothing will happen to you."

Tianshu got up and walked towards their direction: "Ji Chaoyun, why did you kill Li Hao and attack Immortal Yaoguang?"

"I didn't, it was him—" Ji Chaoyun said, "The Yaoguang Immortal Venerable resides in the body of the monster. I saw it with my own eyes, and it was the monster that killed Senior Brother Li!"

"Demon, demon?" Yaoguang looked very confused, and asked doubtfully, "Chaoyun, what's wrong with you, how can there be a demon in my body? Are you delusional and hallucinating?"

"I--"

Ji Zhaoyun still wanted to defend himself, but suddenly stopped talking.

He looked at Tianshu and Yaoguang standing side by side in front of him, and his mind dazzled by hatred finally calmed down a little.

At this point, no matter how much you justify it, it is useless.

The demon race had obviously lived in Yaoguang's body for a long time, and neither he nor the other immortals could find any clues.If that person hadn't shown up on his own initiative, it would be impossible for him to force him out.

However, as long as they examine the wound on Li Hao's body, they will be able to find out that it was indeed injured by his sword.

Li Hao's death pushed Ji Chaoyun into a state of isolation and helplessness, and everything was a foregone conclusion.

Tianshu Xianjun seemed to be still asking about something, while Yaoguang stood aside, clutching his wound in confusion and bewilderment, as if he didn't understand why Ji Chaoyun suddenly became like this.

The eyes of the surroundings were focused on Ji Chaoyun, and he followed the gazes. There were several senior brothers whom the Inspector Hall had just met recently, the deacon disciples who were often seen around Tianshu, Kaiyang Immortal Venerable and the chief disciple Jiang Cheng, Yuheng Immortal Venerable, Tianquan Immortal Venerable...

These people had different expressions on their faces, some were shocked, some were angry, but no one believed him.

Ji Chaoyun lowered his head, only feeling the chill enveloping his whole body from top to bottom, and even couldn't help shivering slightly.

Then, it was covered by the warmth coming from behind.

From the beginning to the end, Feng Qi hugged him tightly behind him, never letting go.

Ji Zhaoyun looked back into his eyes, and helplessly grasped the other's sleeve: "You...do you trust me?"

"I believe it." Feng Qi said softly.

No matter what happens, I believe in you.

Never change.

These two words seemed to give Ji Chaoyun great courage, he forced himself to calm down, and said in a low voice: "He wants to frame me, he is in Yaoguang Xianzun's body, I don't know how he hides himself, but as long as he shows up , the jade pendant can feel his magic breath—"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him.

He was forcefully pulled out of Feng Qi's embrace, and his fingertips also slipped from the other's sleeve.

He struggled so hard that he could hardly hear what the people beside him were talking loudly.In a daze, he saw Feng Qi silently mouthing to him.

"Don't be afraid," he said.

"I am here."

All sounds and pictures faded away at this moment, and in the silence of Wan Lai, only the two of them looked at each other silently.

Ji Zhaoyun looked at the other party steadfastly, as if a boulder fell to the ground in his heart, the turbulent undercurrent finally calmed down at this moment.

He slowly nodded towards Feng Qi, and said in a low voice: "Okay."

In the middle of the night, the Hall of Questioning Hearts was brightly lit, Feng Qi stood in the hall with a cold expression: "Why don't you let me participate? He was clearly framed by someone, I've already told you, shake him—"

"Feng Qi, you have no evidence."

"Then why don't you let me check?!"

Tianshu said calmly: "You have a very close relationship with Ji Chaoyun, you must avoid this matter."

"It doesn't matter if you avoid it, why leave it to Kaiyang?" Feng Qi frowned, and said, "Don't you know that Kaiyang has always been prejudiced against Chaoyun, what can he find out?"

"You have to trust the academy, we won't wrong good people."

Feng Qi fell silent.

He looked coldly at Tianshu who was sitting in the hall, and said softly, "Uncle, I hope you will remember what you said today. If there is anything wrong, this will be the last time I trust you."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left the Temple of Questioning Heart.

Outside the Hall of Asking Hearts, there was already someone waiting.

Fluctlight's injury had already been treated, and his wound was not deep, so it did not affect his daily operations.He stood in the middle of the courtyard outside the hall, with a usual peaceful expression on his gentle face, looking at Feng Qi from afar.

Feng Qi walked in front of him, and said coldly: "The Immortal Venerable is injured, why don't you go back to rest?"

"I... I have something to ask Tianshu-jun."

Feng Qi laughed mockingly: "Why, do you still think that Ji Chaoyun was not hurt bad enough by you?"

Yaoguang: "No, I want to... plead for Chao Yun, what he did today is really weird, we can't draw conclusions so easily."

Feng Qi looked at him silently, as if he was judging whether what he said was true or not.

Yaoguang didn't pay attention to his gaze, and said slowly: "You said that kid Chaoyun got along well with the Inspector Palace these few days, why did he suddenly violently hurt others, there may be some other reason for this."

Feng Qi lowered his eyes, and asked softly: "Speaking of which, I really want to ask Immortal Yaoguang. You never personally patrol at night, why did you appear in the classroom today? What are you going to do?"

Fluctlight's expression went blank for a moment: "I...I'm going...I'm going..."

Feng Qi ignored his arguments and continued: "Also, Chao Yun's cultivation level is not considered high in the academy, how could he kill a student at the ground level with a single blow, and how could he hurt you? If there is this level, wouldn’t the number one in the academy’s ranking be replaced?”

"This... Maybe it's because Li Hao was unprepared. I was anxious to see his situation at that time, and that's why..."

"I haven't finished yet." Feng Qi interrupted in a cold voice, and said again, "I've gone to investigate the woods just now, and besides the marks left by Ji Chaoyun's sword, there was another strange sword mark on the scene. , that is not Li Hao's sword."

He was slightly taller than Yaoguang, and when he looked down, he had a bit of majesty and majesty: "Can the immortal tell me, whose sword is that?"

Fluctlight paled, completely unresponsive.

Feng Qi tilted his head and smiled at him, and walked straight past him and left the courtyard.

It wasn't until he walked away that there was a gloomy look in his shake light eyes.

Ji Chaoyun sat in the dark cell, his hands were shackled and fixed to the wall.He couldn't see the outside world in the cell, so he couldn't judge how much time had passed.

The chain on the wrist can block the spiritual power of the cultivation base. After losing the spiritual power to protect the body, Ji Zhaoyun only felt that his body became colder and colder.He curled up against the wall, his hands tightly clutching the collar of his coat.

This was put on by Feng Qi himself before the night patrol started.

"Feng Qi..." Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and called softly.

"Who are you calling?" A mocking voice sounded from the void, "Fortunately, the ancestor of the Feng clan loved you deeply and gave you the most important feather on his body. You are so empathetic to me. His descendants, if let him know, how should he deal with it?"

Ji Zhaoyun raised his head, and a black figure appeared in the center of the cell.

"What do you want to do?"

Yao Guang said: "I said, I only want Phoenix Jin Ling."

"impossible."

"Why are you so stubborn, God's Domain has been closed, and it won't be possible to open it in a thousand years, your Fengxiao God won't come back last time." Yaoguang said, "You obediently hand over the Phoenix Jin Ling to me, absolutely no Fengxiao Isn't it good to be with Feng Qi?"

Ji Zhaoyun didn't bother to explain his relationship with Feng Qi, and said lightly: "If I give you the Phoenix Jin Ling, can you really let me go? Then who should be responsible for Li Hao's life?"

"..."

Ji Chaoyun retracted his gaze: "I won't give it to you, you can kill me. It's like when you sneaked into the confinement room without anyone noticing and killed Wen Yi."

"You think I don't dare?" Yaoguang said coldly, "The people around here have already been dismissed by me. If you were not the only one who could open the magic deed on the Phoenix's golden feather, your life would have been lost long ago. I will give you another For your last chance, hand over the Phoenix Jin Ling, and I can rescue you."

"No need, let's do it."

Yaoguang's expression darkened, showing a bit of coldness.

The temperament around him suddenly changed, powerful magic breath overflowed from his eyes, filling the entire prison in an instant.Fluctlight drew out a sharp sword, and this time, he didn't put any tricks on the sword.

The strong spiritual pressure made Ji Zhaoyun's throat sweet. He suppressed the surging blood in his heart, and looked at the simple black long sword in the opponent's hand.

Without warning, he recalled that rainy night in his previous life.

It was the same with him at that time, being forced to have no way to retreat, he could only watch helplessly as the man in front of him pulled out the sword and slowly walked towards him.

The images of past and present life overlapped before his eyes, and he saw this person raised his sword and stabbed at him forcefully——

The door of the cell was suddenly opened, and a golden whip rushed in like a snake, wrapping tightly around the blade.

Yaoguang's expression changed, and in the next second, Feng Qi stepped in and blocked Ji Chaoyun.

"You... how could you..."

"Why are you here?" Feng Qi interrupted him, and smiled, "Do you have any misunderstandings about Hongmeng Academy, this place is the highest school in the Immortal Realm, do you still think this is your Demon Realm, everyone is so stupid, Played around by you?"

After his words fell, footsteps came from outside the door again.

Several disciples filed in, holding swords, and stood in front of Ji Chaoyun.Feng Qi retracted his long whip, and retreated to Ji Chaoyun's side, afterward, Tianshu and Kaiyang walked in slowly.

Tianshu asked: "Who are you, why don't you come out of Lord Yaoguang's body soon?"

Fluctlight scanned the crowd slowly, and said coldly, "How did you find out?"

"Why did I tell you?" Feng Qi put his arms around Ji Chaoyun and sneered, "If you want to die, you understand, but we don't tell you, it hurts you to death."

"..."

Everyone in the room was silent for a moment, only Tianshu cleared his throat: "Feng Qi, don't talk nonsense."

"Forget it..." Yaoguang took half a step back imperceptibly, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, "I have fallen short, and I admit it, but this matter is not over yet. The gods are in decline, and the demons are in power. Sooner or later, the demons will return to the immortals." Domain, you will never be able to stop it!"

"Stop him!"

Feng Qi shouted loudly, and all the disciples swung their swords forward, but they were still a step behind.

Suddenly, an unprecedentedly powerful magic breath erupted from Yaoguang's body, and the spiritual pressure shook all the young disciples present to the ground.Feng Qi instinctively turned around and hugged Ji Chaoyun, blocking the terrifying spiritual pressure for him.

There was a bloody smell in his throat, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Tianshu and Kaiyang, the only ones who could move, quickly stepped forward and caught Immortal Yaoguang's powerless body that fell to the ground.

The magic breath quickly disappeared, Tianshu probed into the Yaoguang spiritual vein, and after a while, said softly: "He escaped."

Feng Qi frowned slightly, but the spiritual pressure just now caused his blood to surge, and he was temporarily speechless.He lowered his head to meet Ji Chaoyun's worried gaze, and shook his head slightly.

Kai Yang said angrily: "Bastard, this devil must have prepared a way out when he came, but he still couldn't catch it."

The atmosphere in the room was tense for a while, but the rustling of iron chains was heard.Feng Qi unfastened the shackles on Ji Chaoyun's wrists, picked him up horizontally, got up and walked outside.

Kai Yang was in a fit of anger, and said in a bad mood: "I haven't finished the matter, where are you going?"

"Go back to Disciple Peak." Feng Qi glanced at him, then shifted his gaze to Tianshu, and said coldly, "Chaoyun needs to rest now, as for the fact that you used Chaoyun as bait, I hope you can give me an explanation later. .uncle."

"What's your attitude—"

Kaiyang was furious, but was stopped by Tianshu: "Forget it, let him go."

Feng Qi snorted coldly, and left the cell with Ji Chaoyun in his arms.

It was already late at night outside, the sky was full of stars and moonlight sprinkled on Hongmeng Mountain in the distance, it was as peaceful and peaceful as usual.

Ji Chaoyun's tense nerves finally relaxed at this time, he only felt that his body was extremely tired, and he couldn't lift any strength.

Feng Qi said softly: "If you're sleepy, sleep for a while, don't hold on."

"But Immortal Venerable Yaoguang..."

"Shh, you have to rest now, don't think about this."

Ji Zhaoyun was too sleepy to keep his eyes open, and his voice gradually became weaker and weaker: "Then tomorrow... tomorrow you must tell me everything, we have agreed."

"Well, it's settled."

Ji Zhaoyun didn't speak any more, he buried his head in Feng Qi's arms, and finally fell asleep peacefully.
