Another Demonic Aura
Chapter 294 Another Demonic Aura
Under the cover of night, in a courtyard.
Ji Ya, Yang Lin, and their four disciples sat around a stone table, discussing the sudden monster attack that had occurred that day.
Compared to the excitement of the others, Ji Ya frowned, his heart filled with lingering fear.
If it weren't for Yun Cai's timely appearance today, Yang Lin would have been killed by that demon monkey. Just thinking about it makes him furious.
That demonic monkey dared to attack Qingxiao Sect, it must have something to rely on, and more trouble is likely to follow.
Then, thinking about his master's arrangement for him to go to the palace to investigate the haunting, he felt that the two things were somehow related, and perhaps there was a dark force plotting something with the goal of dismantling the Qingxiao Sect.
"You all need to be very careful in the coming period. Don't assume that you are absolutely safe just because you are in the sect."
Ji Ya spoke up, immediately drawing the attention of Yang Lin and the other four.
One of the male disciples couldn't help but ask, "Ji Ya, do you know something?"
Everyone else looked at Ji Ya, thinking that with his status, he must know many things that ordinary disciples wouldn't know.
Ji Ya shook his head and said, "I don't know much, but I can sense that things won't be peaceful in the future. Tomorrow I will go down the mountain to the capital. The palace is haunted, and my master sent me to investigate. Today, there was also an attack on the sect by a demon. Don't you find this strange?"
Everyone fell silent, realizing that trouble was brewing.
They were not new disciples; they had gone through many hardships with the Qingxiao Sect. They themselves had escaped death from desperate situations, so when they heard Ji Ya say this, they did not question it. On the contrary, they felt that it was very likely that what Ji Ya said was true.
After so many years of peace and stability, trouble has returned!
"Do you need us to accompany you to the palace?" Yang Lin asked Ji Ya, her brows furrowed with worry.
Ji Ya is indeed very strong, but he lacks experience in the martial arts world.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ya shook his head and said, "No need. It's better for you to stay and protect the sect. I'll be back soon."
Yang Lin opened her mouth, but couldn't force the issue.
She knew they couldn't protect the sect at all, and Ji Ya didn't take them with him just because he was afraid he would need to be distracted by protecting them.
At this moment, not only their courtyard, but also disciples from other courtyards on Qingxiao Mountain were discussing this matter. Many true disciples believed that the attack of the Black Fiend Monkey was the beginning of a disaster.
That night, many people inside Qingxiao Gate found it difficult to fall asleep.
Ziyang Peak.
Hu Yan arrived at Duan Xiaojuan's courtyard and called her name from outside the gate.
Soon, the courtyard gate opened, and Duan Xiaojuan looked at him, asking in confusion, "What's wrong so late?"
Hu Yan said with a solemn expression, "The sect may encounter more trouble in the coming period of time."
As he spoke, he took down the storage bag from his waist and said, "There are high-level talismans in here. Keep them, just in case you need them."
Duan Xiaojuan took the storage bag and asked in surprise, "Is it that serious? Is it because of the demon monkey that appeared today?"
The great battle that took place in the Sword Sect had spread throughout the entire sect, and since Ziyang Peak was closest to Qingxiao Mountain, she naturally heard about it as well.
"Yes, I heard from my senior brother that the sect is preparing to go on high alert. In short, you must be careful," Hu Yan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Duan Xiaojuan was not afraid; instead, she felt a sense of sweetness in her heart.
He really does care about me!
"Then you must be careful. As the sect leader's disciple, you will definitely have to shoulder more responsibilities and face more dangerous enemies."
Duan Xiaojuan looked at Hu Yan and said seriously.
The moonlight cast long shadows of the two people, making them blend together.
……
The Demon-Suppressing Tower. In the dimly lit cell, the Black Demon Monkey hangs in the air, its limbs and neck bound by chains, its demonic body stretched taut and unable to move.
Clouds stood in front of him, casting a soul-binding spell.
Chu Jing stood to the side, his eyes behind the mask cold and gleaming.
Yun Cai's eyes regained their clarity, and she lowered her hands that had been casting the spell. Her brows furrowed, and her eyes were full of confusion.
"What's wrong? Not going well?" Chu Jing asked.
“His memories are chaotic. I only see his memories from before he took human form; I can’t find any useful ones,” Cloud replied.
Upon hearing this, Chu Jing narrowed his eyes.
"You want to... search my soul... you have no idea what you're facing..."
The Black Fiend Monkey said in a trembling voice, his head tilted back, too weak to open his eyes.
Chu Jing sneered, "Playing tricks. If the entity behind you had no fear of Qingxiao Sect, they wouldn't have sent you here to die."
"Sending them to their deaths?"
The Black Fiend Monkey slowly opened its eyes. It looked down at Chu Jing with a ferocious smile on its face and said, "Are you sure you can kill me? Do you dare to?"
Yun Cai frowned, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes.
Chu Jingdao said, "If we can't get any useful information from you, what's the point of keeping you alive?"
The Black Demon Monkey grinned at him and said nothing more.
Faced with such provocation, Yun Cai could no longer tolerate it. She reached for a cloth bag at her waist with her left hand, opened the bag, and immediately, more and more red bees flew out and quickly pounced on the Black Demon Monkey.
Heart-eating bees!
The Black Demon Monkey stared intently at the clouds, refusing to beg for mercy, letting the Heart-Eating Bees land on its body.
In less than five breaths, the Black Demon Monkey was completely covered by Heart-Eating Bees, leaving only one eye exposed to the air.
His eye began to fill with bloodshot veins, and his body trembled violently, clearly enduring unimaginable pain.
Chu Jing hadn't expected Yun Cai to have such abilities, and he asked curiously, "What kind of bee is this?"
“Heart-Eating Bees.” Clouds stared at the Black Fiend Monkey and answered calmly.
Unfazed by the Black Demon Monkey's venomous gaze, she even revealed a mocking and disdainful look, which only drove the Black Demon Monkey even more insane.
"The method for refining the Heart-Eating Bee from the Scripture Pavilion? I never expected you to actually succeed in refining it," Chu Jing exclaimed.
He discovered that Yun Cai truly had no weaknesses; her talent and comprehension were terrifying. Most importantly, she was obsessed with cultivation and didn't give anyone else a chance.
In a few years, even Xu Ning and Jiang Zhaoxia might not be able to control her.
Is she working so hard to cultivate in order to surpass the sect leader and force him to submit?
As Chu Jing was lost in thought, he noticed a change in Yun Cai's eyes.
"What exactly are those eyes?" Chu Jing was very interested in Yun Cai's eyes. His intuition told him that Yun Cai's power was inseparable from the function of those eyes.
The Black Demon Monkey trembled violently, and when he saw the clouds' eyes change again, his eyes widened in shock.
The chains binding him shook violently, and he tried to break free, but he couldn't.
Countless heart-devouring bees were gnawing at his flesh and blood, and his demonic body had clearly become thinner.
Yun Cai opened her All-Seeing Eyes and peered into the body of the Black Fiend Monkey. She frowned and exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jing asked.
“There is still a demonic aura within him that doesn’t belong to him. It seems that another demon is using him to spy on us,” Yun Cai replied, her words causing the Black Demon Monkey’s pupils to shrink.
