Chapter 154 Shocking Change! A Stable Triangle!
Chu Yang was also having a headache about how to deal with Jiang Ming, not because he couldn't beat him, but because there was an adorable little girl standing in front of him.
Jiang Wan'er.
The daughter born to Jiang Ming and a fox demon.
It was precisely because of Jiang Wan'er's existence that Jiang Ming did not completely fall into the demonic path and retained a sliver of clarity.
The moment Chu Yang entered the final level, he encountered Jiang Wan'er.
Sensing the life force emanating from Chu Yang, Jiang Wan'er was initially overjoyed, but then became frightened. She feared that Chu Yang would be killed by her demon-possessed father, so she urged him to turn back.
Chu Yang hadn't expected that the last level would be Jiang Ming, but it made sense, as there was no one stronger than him here.
Even the Heavenly Demon Emperor would only face certain death if he confronted Jiang Ming, who had fallen into demonic possession.
Jiang Ming is a very special person. Although he was the cause of the disaster in Shu Mountain, in the final analysis, it was his beloved master and fellow disciples who drove him to the brink of madness.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't have taken this path. Unfortunately, no one gave him a choice, or rather, forced him to choose a path he didn't want to take.
That generation of the Sword Sect, from its leader Jiang Juezhi to its disciples, was more like reaping what they sowed. They planted the seeds, and then they borne the bitter fruit; that was all.
From beginning to end, Jiang Ming was more like a victim in that special environment.
Chu Yang could kill the Heavenly Demon Emperor without hesitation, but he hesitated again and again when it came to Jiang Ming.
"You'd better leave quickly, or you won't be able to leave if Father doesn't regain his senses!"
Jiang Wan'er shook Chu Yang's arm, anxiously begging him to leave.
Do you think he's in a lot of pain right now?
Chu Yang suddenly asked.
Jiang Wan'er looked at her father, who was separated by a door, with a deep gaze and a sorrowful expression. "Of course he was in pain. Father lived in self-blame every day. He went crazy because of self-blame, and because of his madness, he killed many people. This cycle has continued for many years."
"His lucid moments are getting shorter and shorter. Sooner or later he may turn into a monster who only knows how to kill, but I can't leave him because I am his only family."
Chu Yang sighed, "I can try to free him, but he might die. Can you accept that?"
Jiang Wan'er stared blankly at Chu Yang with an incredulous look, as if asking if it was really possible.
"Father should seek liberation rather than completely succumb to demonic ways."
Jiang Wan'er gave a positive answer.
"Then you wait for me outside."
Chu Yang slowly walked into the room.
At this point, Jiang Ming is much more terrifying than the Jiang Ming in the original story. When he became possessed by a demon, he summoned a celestial demon, and after his death, he was infected by the aura of the celestial demon, making him a half-ghost, half-demon.
In terms of the bizarre and extraordinary, even the Evil Sword Immortal would probably pale in comparison.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Ming tilted his head, his eyes bloodshot and filled with madness.
Chu Yang cupped his hands and said, "Junior Chu Yang greets Senior."
"Disciples of Mount Shu?"
Jiang Ming recognized the Taoist robe on Chu Yang's body, his tone suddenly became wooden, and the next second, his pupils turned into a sea of blood.
The words "Shushan" act like a switch, stimulating Jiang Ming to the greatest extent.
Jiang Ming instantly became possessed by a demon.
"I was originally planning to chat with you like a swordsman, but there's no need for that now."
Helpless, Chu Yang summoned Fengdu, and the Yellow Springs water surged out from the void, drowning the demon-possessed Jiang Ming.
Just as Jiang Ming was about to make his move, he seemed to be frozen in place, his expression becoming extremely painful and struggling.
The Yellow Springs can severely damage the soul, but it will also wash away the demonic aura from Jiang Ming. If he's lucky, Jiang Ming will recover before he dissipates and be able to say a few words to Jiang Wan'er.
At first, Jiang Ming would let out wails, but as the demonic thoughts diminished, his eyes gradually cleared.
Even if it is still extremely painful, it seems insignificant.
In the end, Jiang Ming's figure grew increasingly frail, like a bubble in a dream, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
"Thank you, young friend. After years of being in a daze, I am finally able to regain my consciousness."
Jiang Ming nodded slightly, a kind smile on his face.
"Time is running out. Senior has something to say; let's leave it to Jiang Wan'er."
Chu Yang turned around and called Jiang Wan'er, who was outside the door, in.
Because she hadn't spoken to Jiang Ming for so long, Jiang Wan'er was a little timid and walked very slowly.
"If we don't say something soon, the senior will be leaving."
Chu Yang reminded her, then turned and walked outside, leaving the father and daughter alone.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Wan'er's cries came from inside. Before she could even experience the love of her father and mother, her parents had passed away one after the other.
When Chu Yang entered again, Jiang Ming had already disappeared. His soul had been cleansed by the Yellow Springs and was qualified to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Otherwise, with his soul tainted by the aura of the Heavenly Demon, he would have surely been reduced to ashes.
Jiang Wan'er thanked Chu Yang through tears, but Chu Yang waved his hand and glanced at the surrounding magic array.
As the lowest level of the Demon-Sealing Tower, this is the foundation of the entire tower and naturally the place with the most magic arrays.
It would take much longer to record everything completely.
Chu Yang didn't care at all that Jiang Wan'er was right next to him. He took out various high-tech devices in front of her, and the little girl who was crying was immediately attracted to his attention, and her crying stopped abruptly.
Anyway, given her status, no one would believe her no matter what she said, and she wouldn't stay in Shushan anyway.
Just as Chu Yang was repairing the magic array, a sudden change occurred outside the Demon Locking Tower.
Bai Yue and Xie Jianxian arrived together and suddenly attacked Qingwei and the others who were maintaining the magic array, stealing the Five Elemental Pearls.
The Five Elements Formation was broken instantly.
The situation that had been painstakingly maintained was destroyed in an instant, and the Demon-Sealing Tower, which had been mostly repaired, began to crumble again.
"Damn it! It was my carelessness!"
Seeing that Chu Yang's side was progressing exceptionally smoothly, Dugu Jiansheng lowered his guard, which led to a major mistake. Enraged, he attacked, unleashing thousands of sword energies that swept over Baiyue's Evil Sword Immortal.
The Sword Immortal, equally enraged, smashed his wine gourd on the ground and used his sword control technique to trap the two, assisting his senior brother, the Sword Saint, in eliminating these two evil heretics.
Xu Changqing ran towards Qingwei and Canggu in a panic, a fear he had never felt before welling up inside him.
Li Xiaoyao and Jing Tian were also about to go over, but Lin Yueru stopped them, saying anxiously, "We'll handle things here. You two hurry and help Senior Sword Saint and Senior Drunken Sword Immortal. We absolutely cannot let Baiyue and Evil Sword Immortal take away the Five Elemental Pearls!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao immediately rushed towards Baiyue, and Jingtian followed with the Demon Sword in hand.
Turning her head, Lin Yueru saw Xu Changqing holding Cang Gu, his face pale, and her heart sank.
"Brother Xu, cheer up and quickly feed the Blood Bodhi to the seniors."
Lin Yueru grabbed Xu Changqing's clothes and shook him violently, only to see Xu Changqing wearing a bitter smile.
"Miss Lin, I have already fed them the Blood Bodhi, but it has no effect at all. Evil thoughts are entrenched in the wounds on Master and the others, like maggots clinging to bones, preventing the wounds from healing."
Xu Changqing's voice trembled, fearing that his beloved elders and masters would perish.
"Wake up!"
Tang Xuejian immediately slapped Xu Changqing across the face and said to the stunned Xu Changqing, "Only you can save them here, so do whatever you think of!"
Xu Changqing took a deep breath, straightened Qingwei and Canggu's bodies, and then transferred his spiritual power to them to help them resist the erosion of evil thoughts.
Lin Yue followed suit, helping up one of the elders, Jingming, and using her true energy to help him fight against evil thoughts.
Although Tang Xuejian's skills were lacking, she was a fruit of the divine tree and possessed a sacred aura. With the help of the Five Poison Beasts, she was able to barely resist evil thoughts for an elder.
The last elder was helped by Long Kui, who was originally the spirit of the Demon Sword and was good at dealing with evil thoughts and demonic energy.
In this way, they managed to keep Qingwei and the others alive, but as time went on, it would eventually become unsustainable.
Everyone understood that their only hope now lay with Chu Yang inside the Demon-Sealing Tower.
"Don't pin your hopes on him. If it weren't for him maintaining the magic array inside, this Demon-Sealing Tower would have collapsed long ago!"
A crimson figure suddenly appeared.
"Redhead—" Tang Xue, realizing she hadn't finished speaking when she felt Chonglou's icy gaze, quickly changed her words, saying, "Senior Demon Lord, you've come at the right time! Please help us!"
Chonglou glanced at the several seriously injured and dying old men and said indifferently, "My agreement with that guy was to protect you from death, excluding Qingwei and the others."
Tang Xuejian said anxiously, "How can you say that? If something happens to Sect Leader Qingwei and the others, Daoist Xu and Daoist Chu will definitely be heartbroken. If they are heartbroken to death, wouldn't that mean you broke your promise?"
Chonglou's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "Women really love to be unreasonable!"
Lin Yueru said irritably, "Since you won't help us, then go help Li Xiaoyao and Jing Tian, kill Baiyue and the Evil Sword Immortal, and that will count as fulfilling your promise, okay?"
Chonglou's lips curled into a slight smile. "They're not in dire straits, so I won't help them!"
Tang Xuejian glared at him fiercely and said angrily, "Fine, don't help then! You're just here to laugh at us!"
Just as the stalemate reached its conclusion, a clear, cold voice rang out.
"Since the Demon Lord won't help, then let me do it. I'll trouble the Demon Lord to leave the tranquil place of Mount Shu."
Zi Xuan suddenly appeared, walking step by step with the Holy Spirit Pearl. He said to Xu Changqing, "The repair of the Demon Locking Tower is just one step away. The Holy Spirit Pearl and the Five Elemental Pearls are of the same origin and can be divided to generate the power of the five elements to replenish the last bit of spiritual power."
Xu Changqing and Demon Lord Chonglou said in unison, "No!"
Xu Changqing shook his head without hesitation, refusing, "If that happens, the Holy Spirit Pearl will be completely destroyed, and you won't live for more than a few days!"
"I've lived a long time, that's enough." Zi Xuan smiled brightly. "Now that I've reunited with Ling'er and spent some time with her, I'm already content."
Xu Changqing shook his head again and said, "No!"
With gentle eyes, Zi Xuan walked to Xu Changqing's side, stroked his hair, and whispered, "I'm leaving now. You must cultivate diligently and strive to become an immortal."
Xu Changqing could only watch helplessly as Zixuan walked towards the Demon-Sealing Tower. He still held the lives of Qingwei and Canggu in his hands and was unable to move!
"What a useless piece of trash!"
Chonglou didn't know if he was cursing Xu Changqing or himself. After he finished cursing, he strode out and, before Zixuan could, placed his hand on the Demon Locking Tower.
The powerful magic enveloped the Demon-Sealing Tower, instantly replenishing the spiritual energy needed for its repair.
Almost at the same time, a crisp sword sound rang out, and [Fengdu] was the first to fly out from the top of the tower. Then everyone saw Chu Yang's figure.
Fengdu flew towards Qingwei and the others, summoning the Yellow Springs Water to cleanse their evil thoughts, while Chu Yang rushed straight towards Baiyue and the Evil Sword Immortal.
"Die!"
Anger burned through every corner of Chu Yang's body; this was the first time he had felt such rage since coming to this world.
The extraordinary phenomenon of the sun and moon appearing in the same sky emerged behind Chu Yang. The upgraded Origin Martial True Body exerted an even stronger pressure, and every move he made exuded a heart-palpitating aura.
The sun and moon hang in the sky, their power overwhelming heaven and earth!
Chu Yang raised his fist and brought it down hard, causing the entire space to tremble instantly!
Bai Yue and Xie Jianxian's feet suddenly sank, the terrifying force of the fist subtly pressing them down so they couldn't stand up.
The two figures flashed and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, their original location exploded and then collapsed rapidly, sending out tsunami-like shockwaves in all directions!
Even the Sword Saint and others who were not far away were affected!
Suspended high in the sky, Chu Yang exudes a breathtaking aura, as if he were a god!
Bai Yue and Xie Jianxian exchanged a glance and decided to retreat. They already had the Five Elemental Pearls, so there was no need to continue fighting to the death.
With Chu Yang being so terrifying, plus the Sword Saint and the others, the two of them had almost no chance of winning.
Fortunately, the Demon Lord had no intention of making a move, otherwise Baiyue and the Evil Sword Immortal would have fled immediately and would not have been entangled in this battle.
Chu Yang sensed their intentions and immediately used the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Pull. The Evil Sword Immortal was pulled by the terrifying suction force, his body swayed, and the Five Elemental Pearls flew out.
"Oh no!"
The Evil Sword Immortal tried to leap over and snatch it, but a chilling sword aura slashed out, forcing him back.
The Sword Saint used his fingers as swords and unleashed the Myriad Swords Technique. Countless sword energies surged like a storm, sending the Evil Sword Immortal flying.
After carefully storing the Five Elemental Pearls, Chu Yang held the [Fengdu] and opened the Gate of Hell, intending to completely subdue the Evil Sword Immortal.
The appearance of the Ghost Gate shattered the Evil Sword Immortal's last line of defense, and for the first time, a look of terror appeared on his face.
I wanted to run away without even thinking!
suddenly.
A huge crack appeared in the ground, and a massive monster emerged from underground, blocking everyone's attack.
In the blink of an eye, Baiyue and Xiejianxian disappeared.
Chu Yang glanced at the suddenly appearing magical beast, but didn't pay it any mind. He handed it over to the Sword Saint and the others, and then flew to Cang Gu's side.
With his evil thoughts gone, his injuries healed quickly thanks to the effects of the Blood Bodhi.
The same is true for others.
Chu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to reflect on himself. He shouldn't have underestimated Bai Yue and Xie Jianxian; they were so close to succeeding in this surprise attack.
If it weren't for the prior agreement with the Demon Lord, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
The complete collapse of the Demon-Sealing Tower was secondary; the most important thing was that Qingwei and the others almost lost their lives. If the five of them died, the Evil Sword Immortal, who shared the same origin, could obtain their cultivation and ascend to become an extraterrestrial demon in one step.
Fortunately, the worst didn't happen. Chu Yang learned his lesson and decided to take advantage of Chonglou's resources more next time, as they were really useful in crucial moments!
But that's all for later; there are more important things to deal with right now.
Not far away, Chonglou was staring at Zixuan, while Zixuan was looking at Xu Changqing with tender affection. Xu Changqing was glaring at Chonglou, and the three of them formed a perfect triangle.
Chu Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "What a stable shape!"
