He's been caught for the show.

Opening his eyes and facing the current situation is something Chu Lu never thought of.

He was meditating in the soul orb, when he heard Lou Kongyu's hissing for help, he rushed out to save the scene.

however--

Chu Lu: ...

…………

???

!!!

Does he spend an entire hour in meditation?What happened during this period? !

Why did he have to face this level of Shura field as soon as he opened his eyes? !

Not to mention Qingyongzi, Jiang Yixi and Xie Jing teamed up, even in his heyday, he had to weigh it.

Chu Lu is not a person who evades reality, but when he encountered this situation, he couldn't help closing his eyes.

——No help, just wait to die.

……

…………

That being said, the situation is indeed the same, but it is obviously impossible for Chu Lu to replace Lou Kongyu at this moment and let him face this mess.

During the brief silence, Shuanghua quickly explained to him what happened just now.

Chu Lu immediately understood what was wrong: "..."

The newborn sword spirit is still too tender.

But sensing the confusion, puzzlement, and aggrieved emotions coming from the sword spirit, Chu Lu still didn't say anything in the end.

This is still a baby.

——The baby who was born less than a day old...

To be honest, Shuanghua was able to think of pretending to be happy at that time, which was not easy for a sword spirit, although it was also because of this that he missed the trick.

"...Brother," Xie Jing said first.

He took a step forward, the young man's height was naturally far smaller than him, Xie Jing was not used to talking to his senior brother from this perspective, he leaned forward, lowered his eyes to the same level as Lou Kongyu, fixed Staring intently at those strange yet familiar pupils, "Let's go back to the sect."

His gaze was the same as always.

It's like going back to a long time ago. Every time the two brothers and sisters were thrown into various dangerous situations by the sword master of Hanshan, and they escaped with difficulty, they brought them back to the sect together.

So many things happened in the middle, but Xie Jing is still the same Xie Jing, and has never changed.

Just like when he was hunted down by Quan Xiujie back then, Chu Lu still chose to believe in this junior.

As for the occasional "seriously injured" status quo in front of the opponent, the opponent had to give up chasing him and instead intercept the chasing soldiers...

Chu Lu said that his conscience was indeed condemned a little bit.

But this is also no way.

In the situation back then, if he was hunted back to the realm of comprehension, then the following plot would really be completely over.

……

…………

In short, when everything was not going well and the plot line was on the verge of overturning, thanks to having such a junior brother, Chu Lu was able to reluctantly get the plot back on track.

And now-

Chu Lu looked at the junior brother who was staring at people closely, and then at the magic circle under his feet—Jiang Yixi had obviously made a move.

Chu Lu: "..."

Is it over? !

This is the confinement formation used to seal the demon back then!

Even if it makes sense to use this formation to deal with Fallen Demon Linghua, but the body he is using now is obviously just a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment period... Isn't it too talented to use this? !

……

…………

That formation failed to take shape in the end, and was stopped by Xie Jing.

However, Jiang Yixi had no intention of completing it from the very beginning.

In fact, even his attack just now had room for it, even if Chu Lu didn't show up, Jiang Yixi still had time to stop at the last moment.It's just that the difference in realm is too big, Lou Kongyu didn't notice it at all.

There was a stagnant silence in the room. Jiang Yixi looked at Xie Jing who was holding a sword in front of him, and then glanced at Qingyongzi who seemed to be doing nothing, but in fact had attracted the entire villa's enchantment to put pressure on him. The young man who was standing behind Xie Jing and maintaining a guarded posture was frozen.

Qing Ye, who was the most confused about the current situation in the whole room, could hardly control his trembling legs. Under the oppression of these gangsters, he had completely given up thinking.

Why did Sect Master Jiang suddenly attack?So what happened to Kongyu who seemed to be a different person all of a sudden? ...Brother, what 'brother'?Whose brother? !How did Sword Master Yaochuan become the confrontation with Sect Master Jiang?

——He doesn't know all these questions, and he doesn't want to know! !

He only regrets one thing now, why did he follow in, and into this room? !If he could be given another chance to choose, he would be as far away as possible.

Silently, silently, Qingye shrank back a little towards his father, but he didn't dare to make too much movement, for fear of attracting other people's attention.

Among the other four people present, except for his father, no matter who cast their eyes on him, it would be very bad!

……

…………

Here Qing Ye tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, wishing to shrink himself into the cracks in the ground.

On the other side, Jiang Yixi's face sank a little while maintaining a confrontational state. He was so angry that he smiled instead——

"What do you think I'll do?"

He didn't mention his name, but Chu Lu knew that he was obviously the one who asked this question, and the tone was obviously about to come...

Hearing this, Chu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

He came out from behind Xie Jing, raised his hand to block his worried junior brother who wanted to protect him, and said two words to Jiang Yixi seriously, "I'm sorry."

——It was an apology that was hundreds of years late.

then……

"I do not know."

This is the answer to Jiang Yixi's previous question.

He didn't know what Jiang Yixi would do.

Whether it's now or back then...

The battle between Taoism and demons has never been quelled since the beginning of history. It is not that no monks vaguely feel that it is the suppression and restraint of this world by the Dao of Heaven.

It's just the countless blood feuds accumulated over tens of thousands of years...

But all the people in the cultivation world, who has no relatives, friends, old friends, teachers and fellow disciples died at the hands of the demon cultivator... The difference is only more or less...

That's why there are Destined Sons like Xiang Wanya.

When the world's operation is becoming more and more perfect, it needs such a demon who grew up in the cultivation world to quell the struggle that has spanned the entire world in the past.

In such a world, it is hard to say whether the story evolved to give birth to the world, or the story that the world needs to be born...

But no matter what the reasons are, the staff of the space-time agency have to do the same thing—maintain the established fate line.

Although Chu Lu was indeed very worried for a time.

With the insanity of the fate line towards the protagonist, Xiang Wanya is more likely to become a demon who only wants to destroy the world than a savior... But should the world consciousness be reliable for a while?Although there are various problems in the plot line, at least the integrity of the protagonist is guaranteed.

All in all, the purpose of Chu Lu entering this world is to maintain the fate line, and his obsession is only a part of the established fate, an indispensable part.

But for his friends in this world, Pao Ze, who stand side by side and support each other, it may not be so easy to accept and understand.

It was precisely because they entrusted their lives to each other on the battlefield that Chu Lu could understand their hatred for Moxiu more deeply.

The fellow disciple died at the hands of the demon cultivator, the Taoist companion died tragically on the battlefield, and even... both parents were tortured and killed by the demon cultivator...

And those monks who are irreparably contaminated with demonic energy sometimes even plead with their compatriots to let them have a good time before they completely fall into the devil...

...died as a Taoist cultivator.

The hatred that has spread for thousands of generations... All these bloody facts are not so easy to expose.

Therefore, Linghua's betrayal is so unforgivable.

Chu Lu never asked for forgiveness.

……

…………

It's not that Chu Lu doesn't believe in the friendship between him and Jiang Yixi, or in other words, the reason why he avoided him back then was just the opposite.

—he believed in their friendship.

Not only Jiang Yixi and Xie Jing, but also other friends who entrusted their life and death together.

It is also because of belief.

He didn't want to force those people to make a choice.

They are different from Xie Jing.

The Jiang family in Huizhou wiped out all their families because of the demon cultivator, leaving Jiang Yixi as an orphan; Yan Yun's direct sister was tortured to death by the demon cultivator, and when she found her, only stumps remained; Ren Qi's elder brother was tortured by the demon cultivator Made into a puppet to drive; Chengxuan's Taoist companion, Wuxiang's junior brother...all died at the hands of Moxiu...

Even though these things can be overcome by the calamity of the demons, they are still a scar in everyone's heart.

He didn't want to meet, and he didn't want to force these people to make a choice.

Whether it's killing an old friend, or letting go of the demon cultivator...

It's all adding another weight to the already heavy memory.

……

Without Xie Jing's barrier, the eyes of the two directly met. After Chu Lu's short three-word answer, the room was silent again.

In the corner, Qingye had already used the breathing restraint technique, for fear that his breathing would disturb anyone.

He couldn't count how many times he regretted why he followed in here... If he was given another chance, he would definitely leave Fengxia Villa overnight with his blanket on his shoulders—leave, home, leave, go! !

Only half a day later, Jiang Yixi took a step back and sat down again.

The atmosphere that seemed to be on the verge of breaking out was suddenly relaxed because of his movements. Although Qing Ye didn't know the reason, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but halfway through the exhalation, he remembered the current situation and quickly held back.

The expression on Jiang Yixi's face was a little annoyed and a little funny, "You..."

"Back... before that incident..."

"My mother, in Luzhou... was murdered and seized the treasure..." He paused for a while, obviously this kind of thing is not a good memory for the person involved, but it seems that because the past is too long, the Shi's mood has long since calmed down, and he can now speak in a normal tone, "I didn't see any Luzhou people, so I shouted and killed them? Isn't Wuxiang also from Luzhou?"

Chu Lu: "..."

It turned out that it was not his illusion that this person always seemed to exclude Wuxiang back then.

Although he accidentally discovered some old truth, Chu Lu remained silent for a while.

Both of them knew that it was not the same, and it was not something that could be confused.

After a long while, Jiang Yixi showed an expression of "I really lost to you", and he sighed, "I know it's different, but... isn't this exactly what you hoped for?"

Chu Lu: "No..."

He didn't know where the other party came to this conclusion, but he really didn't mean it at all.

Jiang Yixi didn't seem to care about his denial, and continued, "To be honest, it's a bit difficult...for me, us..."

"But after hundreds of thousands of years, we old guys will fall and ascend... those juniors..."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Qingye.

Qingye, who hasn't said a word up to now, and is still holding his breath:! ! !

"Cough-cough-"

"Ugh!... hiccup..."

Qing Ye tried hard to suppress the choking cough that came out of fright, but ended up hiccupping himself.

Fortunately, Jiang Yixi only glanced at him, and then looked away.

Jiang Yixi continued, "At least Xiaoya is still there, I think I can bear it for a while...Yan Yunrenqi and the others should have the same idea..."

Of course, the reality is far from easy as he said.

Back then, even he himself didn't know what his mood was when he chased after him, or what he would do after facing Linghua who had already entered the magic way.

——He wants to ask clearly, what happens after he asks clearly?

It's just that he couldn't think about it later, he went to Yuewanglou, and only vaguely learned some inside information from the owner of Yuewanglou.

This man... He really likes to carry everything on himself.

Are they friends?Not some disciple who needs his protection...

Sometimes Jiang Yixi really doubts this.

but--

Things like the fate of the world and the future of Xiujie obviously cannot be known by too many people.

One more person who knows is also more dangerous.

Intellectually speaking, Jiang Yixi was understandable, but emotionally he still couldn't accept it. Back then, if Ling Hua revealed a little bit, it wouldn't cause trouble to that extent.

Jiang Yixi stared at Chu Lu who was leaning on Lou Kongyu, and suddenly narrowed his eyes——

"Your soul... isn't complete, is it?"
