After Cultivating With the Enemy

Several rays of light descended from the sky and landed in the market town at the foot of Hongmeng Mountain.

This market town used to be very lively, but now it is as quiet as death, the streets are messy, and there are several corpses lying on the side of the road.The disciples stepped out of the teleportation circle in all directions. Ji Chaoyun walked to a corpse lying on the ground on the side of the street, squatted down and probed into the spirit veins, his eyes suddenly darkened.

"Brother Bai, these corpses are still warm, and they were all killed by a sword." Behind Ji Chaoyun, a disciple reported back.

With a sword on her waist, Bai Qiuyue nodded to show that she understood. Noticing that Ji Chaoyun was still squatting on the ground, she walked towards him: "Xiaolong, did you find anything?"

"No." Ji Chaoyun said, "The murderer seems to have a very high level of cultivation, and he can't see the way of his body for the time being."

Bai Qiuyue pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Go and investigate separately to see if there are any survivors and clues to the murderer."

"Yes."

Ji Zhaoyun was about to leave when Bai Qiuyue suddenly called him: "Xiaolong."

"Brother Bai, is there anything else?"

"It's nothing, just to remind you to be more careful." Bai Qiuyue smiled and said, "There are not enough high-level disciples, and most of the second-level disciples Xuan and Huang have to prepare for the quarterly exam, so I recommended you to Tianshu Immortal Venerable. Nothing can happen to you, or that phoenix will skin me alive."

Ji Chaoyun: "I understand, thank you Senior Brother Bai."

After he finished speaking, he followed the footsteps of the disciples in front of him.

This market town is not too big, Ji Chaoyun searched around for a while, and soon came to the end.

At the end of the market town is a pine forest.

Ji Zhaoyun didn't stop, and walked straight into the pine forest.A figure followed closely behind, but Ji Zhaoyun quickly disappeared into the jungle without a trace.

The man stopped and searched left and right when he was suddenly pulled from behind forcefully.

Ji Zhaoyun dragged him into the shelter of the jungle, and asked coldly, "What are you doing with me, Ah Zhuo?"

Jun Ruzhuo's face seemed to be a little pale, he forced himself to calm down, straightened his clothes, "Who, who said that I followed you."

They are already far away from the disciples outside, because of the cover of the pine forest and the grass, it is not even possible to find that there are two people inside from the outside.

Ji Zhaoyun's face was cold, and he looked at Jun Ruzhuo with cold eyes.

Even though his cultivation base has improved very fast recently, he still will not be Jun Ruzhuo's opponent.But when Jun Ruzhuo saw his eyes, he was instinctively afraid.

Ji Chaoyun was furious.

In Jun Ruzhuo's memory, this person has never been angry with him.When he was still in Lingyuanhai, Ji Chaoyun had the highest status among his peers, the oldest age, and the gentlest temperament.

He treats all younger brothers and sisters in the clan gently, no matter whether they are direct descendants or offshoots, and never have the slightest prejudice.

But now he is angry.

Ji Chaoyun said: "Tell me, what's going on here?"

"I do not know."

"Jun Ruzhuo!"

Jun Ruzhuo flinched, his momentum weakened instantly: "I, I really don't know..."

Ji Chaoyun: "Everyone in this market town was stabbed to the vitals by a sword. The murderer acted neatly, and his cultivation level is not inferior to yours. And the sword moves used by the murderer are the secret moves of Lingyuanhai."

"...Jun Ruzhuo, what's going on?"

Every time Ji Zhaoyun said something, Jun Ruzhuo's face turned paler, but he didn't answer, just lowered his head, not even daring to look into Ji Zhaoyun's eyes.

"...Don't force him anymore." A voice sounded from the bushes behind the two of them, Ji Zhaoyun was stunned, his face lost all color in an instant.

A tall and slender man slowly walked out of the pine forest.

The visitor was dressed in a silver robe, with long silver-white hair hanging behind him, wearing a crown and ring, with an extraordinary bearing.He still looked young and handsome, but there was a sense of vicissitudes between his brows.

Ji Zhaoyun's fingers trembled uncontrollably, his voice was choked in his throat, and he couldn't speak a word.He watched the man pass him, walked forward, and patted Jun Ruzhuo's shoulder: "Ah Zhuo really doesn't know anything, he is only responsible for drawing you out alone, there is no point in questioning him."

"You..." Ji Zhaoyun's voice was hoarse, "You did it?"

The man turned his head, revealing the face that was three points similar to Ji Zhaoyun: "Yan'er, it's been so long since I've seen you, you really don't want to call me father king again?"

As night fell, the fire in the cave danced, illuminating the rugged stone walls.

Ji Zhaoyun knelt under the stone wall, his hands bound in front of him by a slender silver chain, with a calm and indifferent expression.

Outside the cave, Jun Ruzhuo's voice faintly sounded: "Uncle, you clearly said that you just wanted to lure Feng Qi out with an excuse, why did you kill those people in the market town, and why did your cousin—"

There were many guards guarding the entrance of the cave, the Dragon King tilted his head and whispered something to a guard, then turned around and interrupted: "Ah Zhuo, just keep an eye on him, don't ask about other things."

"But……"

The Dragon King glanced at him coldly, Jun Ruzhuo stopped speaking abruptly, bowed to the Dragon King, and turned back to the cave.

Jun Ruzhuo went to the stone table and poured a glass of water, returned to Ji Chaoyun's side, knelt down, and handed the glass to his mouth.Ji Chaoyun didn't raise his head, but turned his head, ignoring it.

"Uncle said that once Hongmeng Academy handed over Feng Qi, he would let you go." Jun Ruzhuo said in a low voice, "He won't hurt you."

Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes: "Now, do you still believe him?"

Jun Ruzhuo lowered his eyes and said nothing, Ji Chaoyun said: "I blame me for leaving too early. For the past 300 years, Jun Jue has been teaching you, and you have grown into such an indistinguishable appearance."

"I..." Jun Ruzhuo evaded, "I just want to know the truth."

Half of Ji Zhaoyun's face reflected the flickering flames, and his expression was calm: "You want the truth? Okay, then I will tell you the truth."

"You should already know that the army of demons who attacked me and Feng Qi on Mount Sumeru was actually refined by mortals. We followed the clues and found the Dragon King Temple in Linhai Village. In the Dragon King Temple, I met Jun Jue."

"But he didn't come to slay the demon. He deliberately designed to lure me there, and wanted to use the magic weapon on my body to open the seal of the demon domain."

Jun Ruzhuo opened his eyes wide in astonishment: "What are you talking about..."

Ji Chaoyun ignored it, but continued: "You have always wanted to know why I left Lingyuanhai 300 years ago. In fact, it was not just because Jun Jue wanted to kill me, but because I learned that Lingyuanhai had already turned against me at that time. , take refuge in the Demon Race."

"300 years have passed since the Great War of Gods and Demons. I thought that even if the Dragon Clan went astray at the beginning, when the war is over and the Demon Realm is sealed, they should return to the right path." Ji Zhaoyun said calmly, "But I didn't expect that these 300 years Over the years, Jun Jue's connection with the demons has not been broken, he... is wrong."

"what?"

Ji Zhaoyun looked down at the silver chain tied around his wrist, and a cool feeling gradually rose in his heart: "It is not Jun Jue who is connected with the devil."

Jun Ruzhuo looked at him intently, with a trembling voice: "You mean...uncle?"

Ji Chaoyun said: "I didn't understand before, even if Lingyuan Sea Dragon King was seriously injured in the original battle and couldn't retreat, how could he be ignorant of Jun Jue's actions for so many years. Looking at it now, I'm afraid it's not I don’t know, but condone.”

Jun Ruzhuo didn't speak for a long time, he got up suddenly, and stretched out his hand to grab the silver chain on Ji Zhaoyun's hand.

"what are you doing?"

"Take you out of here." Jun Ruzhuo said quickly, "I know it's useless to say anything now. I'm trusting people. I don't expect you to forgive me. This place is not far from Hongmeng Mountain. You escape."

Ji Chaoyun pressed his hand: "Then you..."

Jun Ruzhuo: "Uncle wants you, I'll be fine."

There seemed to be some kind of secret method attached to the silver chain, but Jun Ruzhuo couldn't pull it apart.He got up and drew out his sword, swung it and slashed at the silver chain.

The moment the sword edge touched the chain, there was a sudden burst of dazzling white light in the cave.The next moment, Jun Ruzhuo flew upside down and slammed into the stone wall on the other side.

"Ah Zhuo!"

Jun Ruzhuo barely straightened up, a trace of blood slipped from his lips.

"Look, I said that your nephew is unreliable, and it is true." A voice sounded from outside the cave, and the two people in the cave looked out at the same time.

The Dragon King walked into the cave, and beside him was a glazed mirror.

In the light mirror, there is a silhouette of a person, which is very blurred and cannot be seen clearly.

The Dragon King ignored the person in the mirror, he walked quickly to Jun Ruzhuo, leaned over and touched a few spiritual acupuncture points on him, and said in a low voice, "Don't exercise within an hour, or you will suffer backlash."

The surging spiritual power in his body gradually calmed down, Jun Ruzhuo was a little startled: "You..."

The Dragon King withdrew his gaze and didn't look at him again.

The person in the mirror said again: "His Majesty the Dragon King is still too soft-hearted, this kind of traitor should be killed, why save him?"

The Dragon King said coldly: "Yan Huaqing, don't forget what you promised me?"

"Don't hurt the life of the Dragon Clan, I remember."

That voice was clear and bright, and seemed to be smiling, but it was as cold as a snake and scorpion, and it sent chills down the spine.

Yan Huaqing.

Ji Zhaoyun's eyelashes moved slightly, remembering when he had heard the name before.

It was because of the existence of this person that Feng Xiao fought hard with Mo Yu for a long time.

"Moyu is actually not difficult to deal with. There is only one person, and it is very difficult."

"Yan Huaqing, Lord of the Demon Realm."

"That man is extremely talented, and his methods are vicious and vicious. It is said that he used to be the attendant of the previous Lord of the Demon Realm. A hundred years ago, he personally killed his master and ascended to the position of the Demon Lord. After that, he only spent a hundred years, It will expand the already gradually declining Demon Realm to its current state."

"If you get rid of him, the Demon Realm will be destroyed without attack, and if he is alive, the hidden danger of the Demon Realm will never be eradicated."

"Yan Huaqing..." Ji Chaoyun looked up at the Dragon King, "So, are you really cooperating with the demons?"

"So what?"

Ji Chaoyun said: "Are you crazy? You know how many lives he killed in the past, and even A Xu died because of him, why do you still help him! If the Demon Realm returns to the world, what will happen to the Immortal Realm, what will happen to the human world, How can you--"

He struggled hard with his wrist, and the silver chain rustled.

The Dragon King didn't look at him, and said in a low voice: "You misunderstood, the lord came here this time just to avenge Jue'er. A net has been laid inside and outside this cave, as long as Feng Qi is killed, we will stop .”

Ji Chaoyun froze.

The Dragon King raised his hand to call a guard, and ordered: "Send a letter to Hongmeng Academy, saying that Jun Yan is here, and let Feng Qi come to see me."

The guard replied: "Yes."

"Wait." The voice in the light mirror sounded again, and said softly with a smile, "I heard that Feng Qi has been in seclusion for a long time, and the old man Tianshu is also Feng Qi's uncle, so he will definitely protect him. Just send a letter Go, I'm afraid they won't hand him over."

The Dragon King frowned slightly: "What do you want?"

The light mirror flew to Ji Chaoyun's side, and the blurry mirror turned to face Ji Chaoyun.Ji Zhaoyun looked at the mirror coldly, but there was a sense of being spied on in his heart for no reason.

The voice said softly: "Peel off a piece of dragon scale from him, and send them to Hongmeng Academy together."

The Dragon King shouted: "Yan Huaqing, enough is enough!"

"Enough is enough? I haven't finished yet." The man in the mirror said leisurely with a cold smile, "Tell them to peel off another piece every half an hour. I heard that there are nine thousand There are more than six hundred dragon scales, I have always wanted to know if this is true."

"..."

"What's the matter, His Majesty the Dragon King can't do anything? That's right, I heard that you love this son the most, so naturally you don't want him to suffer like this. Do you need me to help you?"

"No need." The Dragon King's voice was low and hoarse, he closed his eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind, "I'll do it myself."

The man in the mirror chuckled and stepped out of the way.

Ji Zhaoyun stared at the man who was slowly walking towards him, all the blood faded from his pale face.
