After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

The tree, nourished by human blood, grew faster and became increasingly bizarre. Gradually, all the children in the village were sacrificed. Just as the village chief was worrying about where to find more children to sacrifice, one night he heard that mysterious voice again in his dream. When he woke up the next day, he realized that the desire for the mountain magic had increased. After hesitating for a long time, he knocked on Old Zhang's door again.

The village chief told Old Zhang that something had happened to the demon tree and asked him to come up the mountain with him to take a look. Old Zhang didn't suspect anything and was worried that his future source of income would be cut off, so he hurriedly followed the village chief up the mountain. As expected, as soon as Old Zhang stepped into the area of ​​the demon tree, he was pierced by the demon vines coiled on the ground and died.

Old Zhang's wife, who had waited at home all night, started crowing like a rooster and wandering around the village before dawn the next day, constantly chanting "Great Immortal." The villagers didn't know what had gotten into her, and they couldn't get any truth out of her. They only heard that the Great Immortal on the mountain was recruiting young people to be his messengers. At first, a few people volunteered to go up the mountain, but later the village chief tricked them into going up the mountain to be fertilizer for the demon tree.

Later, Zhao Dazhuang from the east end of the village married a beautiful wife, and a year later they had a daughter. At this time, the demon tree was no longer satisfied with sacrificing only one person at a time, and changed from one person per month to three people every half month. With such a large demand, the village chief could only start to force young people to sacrifice by threatening their families. On the third day after Zhao Daniu was sent up the mountain, Zhao's wife made pancakes at home and took her daughter to the mountain, thinking of seeing her husband from afar and bringing him some food.

The poor Zhao family's daughter-in-law, who had married into the family from outside, firmly believed that there really was a great immortal living on the mountain who taught people how to cultivate immortality. Once she reached the top of the mountain, she never came down again. The village chief followed behind her the whole time. When he saw that she had stopped breathing, he spat out some phlegm, took out a pancake from his basket, took a bite, and cursed her for deserving to live. He said she should stay at home instead of coming up here to die.

But ever since Zhao's wife went up the mountain, the demon tree has been demanding people every seven days. By the time An Wensheng and his companion arrived in the village, all the younger villagers had already made their sacrifices.

The two men, having revealed the whole truth, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Jiang Mumu, begging her to spare them. Jiang Mumu coldly burned two communication talismans in front of them and said, "You two have committed such a heinous crime, and you still think about forgiveness? Just wait for the sects and mortal officials in charge of this place to come."

After listening to Jiang Mumu's story, An Wensheng suddenly tightened the talismans surrounding them, imprisoning the two of them. He calculated the time and said, "The nearby cultivators will probably arrive in about an incense stick's time. Let's go first."

After leaving the village, An Wensheng took off the disciple jade pendant wrapped with talismans from his waist, threw it into his storage bag, and took out a few more talismans to hand to Jiang Mumu, saying, "Wrap these up, and the sect's formation won't be able to receive the spiritual energy fluctuations generated when we fight with mortals."

She took it and said, "No wonder I saw you taking out your disciple's jade token at the top of the mountain just now. It turns out you were hiding something good."

Fang Jingqiu didn't know how long she had been locked in the room. It felt like two months, or maybe half a year. During this time, apart from Pei Hu occasionally coming to see her, she could only hear that people next door often went to see Qu Ziyuan. She had eavesdropped on the conversations of those demons by pressing her face against the wall. They were talking about which level Qu Ziyuan had broken through in his demon cultivation, and that he would go to reclaim the position of Demon Lord once he woke up.

What Fang Jingqiu didn't expect was that the Demon Lord's youngest son, who had been missing for many years, was actually Qu Ziyuan. In the original story, the news about the Demon Lord's youngest son was only briefly mentioned that he died in an unknown corner. Now, because of his appearance, a character who should have died has been alive until now. For a moment, Fang Jingqiu couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Remembering what Tiandao had said, she sat on the ground and buried her face in her knees. All she wanted was to live on with her brother. Such a simple wish was actually achieved by influencing the fate of others. Qu Ziyuan had escaped death, but if someone lost their life because of her in a place she didn't know about, her heart felt like it was stuffed with a tangled mess of threads that she couldn't untangle, and she was extremely annoyed.

She suddenly heard congratulations coming from next door, seemingly congratulating Qu Ziyuan on breaking through to the Condensation Realm. She silently calculated in her mind that Qu Ziyuan's strength had just broken through to the Golden Core Realm, which was not enough to be considered among the demons, let alone using Qu Ziyuan to leave the demon realm.

During her time in the Demon Realm, Fang Jingqiu had had enough of being without cultivation. Ever since she learned that Qu Ziyuan was the young master, she had been planning how to return to the cultivation world through him. Now that the opportunity had come, she was uncertain whether Qu Ziyuan, now that he had fallen into demonic possession, would still help her.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the doorway, and then the door was flung open. Fang Jingqiu looked up and saw Qu Ziyuan with a complicated expression. Before she could stand up, Qu Ziyuan hugged her tightly, and his slightly hoarse voice rang in her ear: "I was so worried when I heard Pei Hu say that Miss was in the Demon Realm."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jingqiu's lips curled up slightly, and he lowered his eyes, saying, "The day I was brought here, I saw you trapped by the formation, and I thought they had done something to you."

Realizing he had overstepped his bounds, Qu Ziyuan released Fang Jingqiu and helped her up to sit in a chair. The maid who was following behind him wanted to come in to wipe the chair for him, but he sent her away with a look.

Seeing that the unrelated people had left, Qu Ziyuan conjured a flame at his fingertips and lit all the unlit candles in the room before asking, "Shouldn't Miss be in the sect right now? How come she's in the Demon Realm?"

"Do you remember Qi Jue who escaped from prison before? He became a demon and kidnapped me from the sect to the demon realm," Fang Jingqiu said calmly.

Qu Ziyuan nodded and said, "My senior brother told me before that Qi Jue is Master's senior brother, but you and Qi Jue are not related. What are his plans?"

Fang Jingqiu shook his head, hugged himself, and complained, "Ever since I came to the Demon Realm, I've been terrified every day. I haven't had a good night's sleep. I don't know how worried my master and the others must be."

Upon hearing the words "Master," Qu Ziyuan recalled his days in the sect. Back then, he had friends and fellow disciples. Although cultivation was tedious, it was also joyful. Seeing Qu Ziyuan lost in memories, Fang Jingqiu took the opportunity to lean closer to him and whisper, "How about... we run away?"

run?

Should I return to the sect in this demonic body?

No, that would definitely embarrass Master. Besides, he has already started cultivating demonic arts. Even if the sect doesn't despise him, cultivators outside the sect will definitely hunt him down.

"I've cultivated demonic arts, I can't go back." Qu Ziyuan's words caused Fang Jingqiu's face to show a look of disappointment. Then he heard him say, "But Miss, you shouldn't stay here. I'll find a way to get you out of here."
