Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 128 Demon Clan

After a few breaths of breathing, Duan Qiuran was no longer injured, and his soul had successfully repaired itself. Mu Huayan's wounds had also healed. Gu Lan continued to say what he had not been able to say before, "Since everything is fine, please continue to listen to me, Immortal Lord."

"The fourth reason I went to ask for help is to make sure you never come back, so that I can take the opportunity to refine you into puppets, help the demons find the whereabouts of Shen Yu, and unlock the seal of the Void Demon Beast."

"I was forced to join the demon clan because I heard that the demon clan could make my seriously ill sister recover. I just believed their lies and helped Ye Yunzhou learn the ancient forbidden technique of soul control."

His sister nodded obediently, "I can vouch for my brother. He has been kind since he was a child and would never intentionally associate with the demons."

Gu Lan touched her head lovingly.

"But after Ye Yunzhou learned this technique, he actually used the casual cultivators in the city as his trainees. As a result, he was chosen by the demon and became his subordinate. As the lord of a city, I had to endure it and appease the people. So in order not to arouse suspicion, I planned a deliberate plan a while ago. I announced to the public that I would definitely arrest Ye Yunzhou and sent cultivators to track and kill him. I lied to Ye Yunzhou and told him that I had arranged for a cultivator to practice soul control with him."

"I originally thought that my city was the only one in Beiyao Continent controlled by the demons, but I didn't know that the mayors of the other three cities were also forced to join the demons and become their tools. But later I accidentally learned that Yun Qinghe, the mayor of Tianyuan City, had colluded with the demons some time ago."

"Originally, Beiyao Continent was peaceful under the protection of the demons, but these were all illusions. Not long after, the demons secretly formed a force called the Wu Sect. They encouraged the independent cultivators or those who could not cultivate immortals in Beiyao Continent to join the Wu Sect and learn their ancient forbidden techniques. They were also called demon cultivators."

"Over time, the Beiyao Continent was taken over by the Wu Sect. They were tyrannical and committed evil everywhere, but no one could control them. Until one day, the demons appeared in the Beiyao Continent. The Wu Sect's people focused their attention on the demons and fought with them. It didn't take long for them to be defeated, and most of the Wu Sect's people were injured."

"Why were the three cities of Tianyuan City occupied by the demons?" Mu Huayan asked.

Gu Lan sighed softly, "Tianyuan City was not occupied by the demons, but was cleared out by Yun Qinghe. I don't know the reason, but I do know that she has an adopted daughter named Zhong Siyao. Later, after the people of Tianyuan City were killed, she resurrected and became a subordinate of the demon."

This also surprised Mu Huayan, "Zhong Siyao..."

"After Yun Qinghe left the deserted Tianyuan City, the demons gained the upper hand. The remaining two cities were defeated by the demons' strong attacks, and the survivors fled to my city..."

"Then the demons wanted to use us to catch the monsters off guard, so they could reap the benefits."

"I just feel sorry for my sister. It's me as her brother who failed to protect her well."

"The information in exchange for your sister's life is enough!" Mu Huayan said, walked forward and gently tapped her forehead with her jade hand.

Then a trace of spiritual power flowed through her body, and within a quarter of an hour, the poison and congenital dysentery in her body were cured.

She, who was originally pale, now exudes a rosy aura, and has the elegance and youthfulness unique to a young girl.

"Brother, I'm fine!"

"Gu Lan thanks the Immortal Lord."

"Qiao'er thanks you, Fairy Sister, for saving my life."

"Since you have already betrayed us, you naturally cannot stay in Cangyun City any longer. The demons may come back at any time."

"Gu Lan is willing to lead a group of cultivators and the Immortal Lord to fight against the enemy and protect this world together!"

Mu Huayan nodded and walked towards Duan Qiuran. She wrote a secret message and sent it back to the sect. She also left a mark on the spirit bird. "Duan Qiuran, I have reported the situation here to the sect. In a few days, disciples from the sect will come here to help. Please take care of them."

"Before that, you stay here and make arrangements after the sect disciples arrive."

After saying that, she was about to leave but suddenly thought of something and turned back. Duan Qiuran followed her, "Sister Yan'er..."

Mu Huayan responded and waited for him to continue. After waiting for a long time, there was no response. He just stared at her blankly, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Mu Huayan slowly walked towards her. At this time, he had a little expectation in his eyes. She walked to him and stopped, then tiptoed and stretched out her right hand to grab his collar, and covered his forehead with her left hand. Duan Qiuran was confused by this series of actions, but he was a little excited, "Don't move."

Then a gentle spiritual power poured into his body. Mu Huayan closed her eyes and carefully felt his soul, consciousness, and whether there was anything wrong with his body. She was always cautious and careful in doing things, fearing that some forbidden technique that Ye Yunzhou had placed in his body had not been completely removed.

At this moment, Duan Qiuran had an idea in his heart. He wanted to hug the beloved person in front of him in his arms, keep her by his side forever, and protect her forever. But this was just his idea and he did not put it into action. He wanted her to truly fall in love with him.

"Fortunately, I was careful. The forbidden technique in his body is still there!"

"Why won't my damn heart stop beating?" Duan Qiuran felt a ripple in his heart as he looked at the beauty in front of him.

"Why is Qiuran so nervous about this? It's not like..." Mu Huayan also noticed the temperature coming from his body and his pounding heart.

She suddenly seemed to realize something, and quickly dispersed the remaining forbidden techniques in his body and distanced herself from him, "Duan Qiuran, I leave this to you!"

Duan Qiuran came back to his senses and nodded seriously. Then Mu Huayan's clone turned into a faint light and gradually disappeared, and returned to the original body in an instant.

"Clang."

"Who's there! Come out!" Duan Qiuran asked.

A man who had just arrived accidentally kicked a piece of debris, which attracted their attention. He had no choice but to raise his hands and walk out, "Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."

"This person looks familiar." Gu Lan looked at the person and said.

"This person actually has the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal." Duan Qiuran couldn't help but feel alert.

"Are you Lu Ci, the protector of Ziyou City?" Gu Lan asked tentatively.

"It is truly an honor that City Lord Gu still remembers me."

"What are you doing here?"

"Lord Gu, don't be so formal. I'm just passing by here." As he spoke, he kept looking around, as if he was looking for someone.

"You're sneaking around like that. How can we trust you?" Duan Qiuran asked warily.

"Don't be angry, my friend. I really mean no harm to you."

When he turned around, he saw Gu Lan calling Song Qianqian and the high priest Jiang Che to surround him. He raised his hands again and said calmly, "City Lord Gu, there is no need to be so wary of me."

"The Beiyao Continent is in great chaos right now. How can I trust you based on your words?"

"Otherwise, what explanation does City Lord Gu want Lu to give?"

Seeing them approaching step by step, he did not want to be their enemy, so he sighed and said, "Forget it, Lu came here just to see the face of a certain... woman."

Several people were stunned by his words, their faces were filled with question marks. This reason was too far-fetched. He coughed to break the awkwardness, "To be honest, Lu was dazzled by a woman in a blue fairy dress, and followed her all the way here just for..."

"A blue dress? Is she accompanied by a young girl and two young boys?"

Lu Ci nodded upon hearing this, then stepped forward and asked, "Does this fellow Taoist know where she is now?"

Duan Qiuran was in a very bad mood right now. "She is my sister. You stalker, don't even think about hitting on her!"

Lu Ci was stunned for a moment and then rolled his eyes. He then stepped forward, held his hands, and said with a friendly smile, "So you are her brother. Nice to meet you. No wonder I thought you two looked so alike when I first saw you."

Duan Qiuran could no longer bear it and punched him in the face, "City Lord Gu, this man has impure intentions and should be thrown into jail."

Gu Lan's face twitched for a while and then he muttered, "Why is there a sour smell in the air?"

He touched his sore face with a wronged look on his face, "Wait, don't, don't lock me up, I'm leaving now."

The next moment, he left the spot with a whoosh.
