Chapter 1360 Genius and Double System 61
"Master has a good eye, he recognized me right away." Yin Yu smiled, but still kept calling him Master, as if that would make him feel better.
Ji Wujiu's expression turned cold. It was so obvious; only a blind person wouldn't see it.
Even if his eldest disciple was dissatisfied with him because of Lin Ya, he would never do such a thing.
He barely hesitated before immediately channeling his spiritual energy. Regardless of who this person was or what their purpose was, their arrogant appearance before him meant he had to arrest them first.
However, the next moment, he felt his spiritual energy being instantly drained and completely unusable. His expression changed drastically as he remembered that cup of tea.
"I've long heard that the Heavenly Pole Sect has an extremely powerful technique that requires all the peak masters to join forces to kill cultivators at the Earth Immortal realm. If one peak master is missing, especially someone as crucial as Master in this technique, replacing him with someone else in a short time probably wouldn't be very effective." Yin Yu laughed, then took out a dagger that gleamed coldly and exuded a dangerous aura.
Ji Wujiu sensed that the dagger was dangerous, but he was powerless to do anything. He was completely weak, unable to use any spiritual power, and couldn't even use his divine sense.
The other party was clearly well-prepared and had been planning for a long time.
This dagger is extremely strange. Just looking at it from a distance, he felt his blood was out of control, as if it was about to gush out and rush towards the dagger.
He had a gut feeling that if this dagger pierced his body, his blood might be drained instantly.
"Master, farewell." Yin Yu smiled as he held the dagger and, without hesitation, plunged it into Ji Wujiu's heart. "To die on my demonic weapon and become a sacrifice would be an honor for you, Master. I believe that with your help, my demonic weapon will become even sharper."
"Who exactly are you?" At the last moment, Ji Wujiu finally asked.
These words caused Yin Yu to pause for a moment, but only for a moment. Without further hesitation, he said, "Master, you should have guessed who I am by now. As for my specific identity, you are about to disappear from this world, so knowing it will be meaningless."
Ji Wujiu was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't find out Ji Wujiu's identity.
He watched as the dagger pierced his heart, yet he remained calm.
At first, he was a little surprised, but he quickly remembered that he had a magical artifact on him, a semi-divine artifact.
If this person cannot kill him with one strike, it will cause a huge commotion, and then the other party will not have a second chance to strike.
The moment this thought crossed his mind, he felt a tremendous force strike his chest. Caught completely off guard, the dagger was bound to pierce his body, and even his original magical treasures would not be able to stop it.
However, the magical artifact that the junior disciple had given him blocked it.
He felt a tremendous force, a slight dull pain in his chest, and then rebounded back with thirty times the force.
Yin Yu was clearly unaware that, despite having suffered several losses before, he never imagined that Ji Wujiu possessed such a powerful weapon.
After all, according to his guess, the magic weapon from before most likely came from Mo Wuchen.
Wen Nanfeng is Ji Wujiu's disciple. Ji Wujiu is impartial to both disciples, so there's no reason why Yun Zhen would have such a magical treasure while Wen Nanfeng doesn't.
So, he suffered a great loss once again.
When he suddenly sensed a tremendous force returning to him, he reacted quickly, instinctively using his strength to create a defensive shield and trying to dodge, but he still couldn't avoid it and was sent flying by that enormous force.
With a deafening roar, a figure was sent hurtling out of the main hall and plummeting down the mountain, stunning all the disciples of Sword Peak. Regaining their senses, they rushed back into the main hall.
Such a commotion alarmed the entire sect.
The mountain gate was immediately sealed off, and powerful figures from the sect appeared at Sword Peak in an instant.
Chu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ji Wujiu was alright. She then went over to check on him and said, "It should be some kind of drug that temporarily suppresses the body's power. The Demon Clan is famous for producing these strange drugs. I'll have an alchemist take a look later."
With Ji Wujiu's cultivation level, even the most potent medicine would be almost impossible to completely kill him.
Otherwise, Yin Yu wouldn't have used the demonic weapon to kill Ji Wujiu after drugging him.
"I just received a message and was about to gather you all to discuss it when this happened here first. It seems this year is truly a turbulent time. The Demon Clan can't hold back anymore and wants to stir up some trouble again," Chu Qingxuan said.
Ji Wujiu asked, "What is it?"
He noticed that Chu Qingxuan's gaze was cold, angry, and somewhat complicated. She even glanced at him strangely at the end.
Once everyone had arrived, Chu Qingxuan recounted the conversation between Lin Ya and the system during the challenge tournament.
Ji Wujiu then understood why the sect leader had been acting so strangely earlier. It turned out that the problem with his junior disciple's cultivation was all caused by Lin Ya.
"Lin Ya has been escorted back by the disciples in charge of law enforcement, and the sect will interrogate her thoroughly." With things unfolding this way, Chu Qingxuan was at a loss for words. She had never imagined that her neglect of her daughter was caused by Lin Ya.
She didn't think that Lin Ya's double gain of her daughter's beauty, Yun Zhen's cultivation level, and Mo Wuchen's weapon-refining ability wouldn't have a serious impact on them.
Yunzhen's advancement is facing obstacles, which may be related to this.
Her daughter is gradually being forgotten, which is just the smallest impact; it is unknown what serious consequences may follow.
"By the way, Peak Master Ji, what happened here?" Chu Qingxuan's thoughts returned. She guessed that Ji Wujiu had been ambushed by the demons. People had been arranged to investigate within the sect, and the mountain gate had been sealed off. It wouldn't be so easy for the demons to escape.
"A demon possessed Nanfeng and tried to ambush me." Ji Wujiu didn't hide anything. He wondered if Lin Ya might also be involved with the demons, and whether his eldest disciple was also implicated.
Considering the power of his defensive magic weapon, I wonder how his eldest disciple is doing now, since the demons are currently using Wen Nanfeng's body.
Just then, the sect's law enforcement disciples brought Wen Nanfeng back.
He was unconscious at this moment, his body covered in blood and gore, barely recognizable. His injuries were severe, but he was not in immediate danger of dying.
"It's possible that the demon subconsciously used its power to resist, which is why this kid escaped with his life. That demon is very strong," said the expert examining Wen Nanfeng's body. "Judging from the power we just felt, that demon must have suffered quite a loss this time. Since the other party was able to sneak in so easily, is it possible that they have already escaped?"
Chu Qingxuan frowned: "Let's conduct a thorough investigation first. Keep a close watch on the mountain gate recently. When it reopens later, everyone entering and leaving will be subject to a thorough investigation."
In fact, after all this time, they still haven't found the demon. It's possible that the demon escaped while the incident was happening.
"Have someone check the image stone at the mountain gate to see if they can find anything unusual," Chu Qingxuan said. (End of Chapter)
