Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

At this moment, Cang Shuzi was sitting in his room meditating and practicing, but he opened his eyes because of the hurried sound that broke in.

He saw his junior sister running in from outside the hall in a panic, holding a package, as if she was fleeing.

When Jiang Tingwan saw Cang Shuzi in the hall, he felt like he had seen a savior. He didn't care about his own image and just wanted to get closer to him and away from Mu Yunzhong.

Cang Shuzi stood up and walked towards Jiang Tingwan, but before he could say anything, she grabbed his sleeve.

"Brother! Brother, it's so great to see you!"

"Junior sister, what happened?"

When Cang Zhuzi's steady voice came, Jiang Tingwan finally felt safe.

But when faced with his question, I didn't know how to answer for a moment. I knew Mu Yunzhong's character because of my God's perspective, but the people in the book didn't know.

If I told him directly that Mu Yunzhong discovered that my realm had declined and wanted to kill me, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it. After all, the entire Sanyuan Sect knew what kind of person Mu Yunzhong was. He was born with a weak look that could easily be bullied.

In addition, he had no real evidence to prove the relationship between Qinglan and him. If he angered Mu Yun because of this, it would only accelerate his own death.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tingwan was speechless for a moment.

She suddenly realized that it is sometimes difficult to have a bird's-eye view, just like a dumb person eating bitter herbs.

Cang Shuzi on the other side was still waiting for his answer. Jiang Tingwan was in a dilemma and could only rethink the current situation and confirm the two most important things to be solved at the moment:

1. Stay in Canghua Palace and seek protection.

2. Ask for medicine and strengthen yourself.

Jiang Tingwan sorted out his goal in his mind.

So he let go of Cang Shuzi's sleeve and asked hesitantly, "Brother, could you let me stay in Cang Hua Palace for a while?"

“……? Live here?” Cang Shuzi looked at her in surprise.

"Correct."

Jiang Tingwan nodded expectantly, thinking that as long as she stayed under Cang Shuzi's supervision, Mu Yun would not be able to touch her. It was better than staying alone in Tingfeng Courtyard.

Cang Shuzi was at a loss for a moment. After practicing to this level, they no longer had any restrictions or etiquette regarding matters between men and women, and they could face other people's opinions with a clear conscience.

"Junior sister."

As it happened suddenly, Cang Shuzi did not agree immediately. He could only call her softly and ask his doubts, "Junior sister, what is the reason for this action?"

Seeing that Cang Shuzi was puzzled and wanted to decline his offer, Jiang Tingwan knew that he had to use his strengths again.

So, after taking a long breath, Jiang Tingwan immediately turned his back in a disappointed manner and said sadly: "My situation, brother, you also know. Since the backlash, I have been unable to sleep or eat these days. I wanted to practice again and return to the peak, but I didn't know that I overexerted myself and seriously damaged my vitality. Now I can only be a mortal."

As Jiang Tingwan spoke, he sighed dejectedly, as if he had doubts about life, but out of the corner of his eye he secretly glanced at Cang Shuzi's reaction.

Cang Shuzi was also stunned when he heard the news. Although the backlash of the Three Yuan Jue would cause the practitioner's realm to decline, if he gave up practicing and started over, even if he could not return to the peak, he would not become a mortal.

"Do you really mean what Junior Sister said?"

After saying this, Cang Shuzi, knowing the seriousness of the situation, once again mobilized his spiritual power to detect the aura in Jiang Tingwan's body. If there was still a weak fluctuation of spiritual power in her body last time, this time he could not detect any remaining spiritual power.

Jiang Tingwan can no longer become a monk?

After confirming this fact, Cang Shuzi's face suddenly became embarrassed. He seemed to have thought of something and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Tingwan turned around and saw Cang Shuzi still in a daze, so he knew what he was thinking, and then he continued, "Brother, it doesn't matter if I become a mortal. What matters is that if this matter gets out, it will only damage the reputation of Sanyuan Sect, and it may even expose the secret that Sanyuan Sect has guarded for generations."

Jiang Tingwan used strong medicine, which instantly aroused Cang Shuzi's emotions.

When he heard the word "secret", Cang Shuzi's expression became serious, and his eyes became wary when he looked at Jiang Tingwan.

"Junior sister, why do you say that?" It was a warning test.

Jiang Tingwan's eyes flickered slightly, and he let out a long breath, "Brother, don't blame me, I'm the only one who knows this. The brothers all know that Master has loved me a lot since I was a child, so when I was young, Master told me a secret that only the masters of the past generations can know."

Jiang Tingwan looked into Cang Shuzi's eyes and said word by word what was most worrying him. "Master told me that the Sanyuan Jue is actually a method that is both good and evil. Not only that, it originated from the Wuchen Palace, a magic cultivation method that everyone sneered at back then."

Cang Shuzi's eyes were fixed on Jiang Tingwan's lips. He watched with his own eyes as she revealed the secret that had been hidden in the Sanyuan Sect for a thousand years. He was horrified, and the shock he felt when he first learned the secret came flooding back to his mind again.

original:

The Lord of Wuchen Palace, Nangong Xiu, who was killed by the founder of Sanyuan Sect more than a thousand years ago, simply died from a backlash during his training.

A thousand years ago, a wandering monk without any sect happened to walk into that secret room and took away a secret book of Nangong Xiu. From then on, he became the hero who killed Nangong Xiu and founded the Sanyuan Sect.

The "Three Yuan Jue" which is known to everyone as being extremely mysterious and which they have always been proud of was originally called "Wu Chen Jue".

When this secret was once again spoken by someone else, Cang Shuzi suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders had become much heavier, and he took a step back dejectedly.

"Senior brother? What's wrong with you?" Jiang Tingwan called softly.

Cang Shuzi came back to his senses, and said with a relaxed expression, "No problem. I have kept this secret in my heart for nearly a hundred years. I didn't expect that when I heard it again today, I would still be as shocked as I was the first time."

The scene and image of the day when his master told him the secret flashed through Cang Shuzi's mind, and he felt powerless and confused.

Looking at his expression, Jiang Tingwan understood. As the author's biological mother, she naturally knew this setting, and also knew what it meant to Cang Shuzi, the leader of a sect.

He learned this secret when he was at the critical stage of entering the Zhongtian level, which made him unstable and suffered backlash when he broke through.

It was precisely because of this unknown secret that Cang Shuzi, who had always been self-righteous, vowed never to accept any disciples, because he could no longer teach others the Sanyuan Sect's unspeakable secret methods.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tingwan couldn't help but be moved.

"Senior brother..."

Jiang Tingwan, who was thinking of saying something to comfort her, was interrupted by Cang Shuzi's raised hand as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This matter concerns the reputation of our sect for a thousand years. I am very pleased that you have such concern. Since you want to stay here temporarily, it's up to you."

Cang Shuzi did not doubt Jiang Tingwan's explanation and agreed to let her stay, but he was more unwilling to talk more about the matter.

This secret is not only a responsibility for him but also a knot in his heart, a knot that he was once proud of but has become difficult to talk about.

In that case, let it rot in my heart forever.

After Cang Shuzi finished speaking, he was about to turn around and enter the inner hall, but was stopped by Jiang Tingwan.

"Brother!"

Jiang Tingwan pursed her lips apologetically. Although she knew how important this secret was to Cang Shuzi, she still called him.

I can only apologize in my heart: I'm sorry, I don't want to disturb your emo at this time, but I am at a critical moment of life and death, and time waits for no one.

Cang Shuzi turned around and looked at her, and Jiang Tingwan immediately expressed his request.

"I wonder if Senior Brother has any elixir that can enhance spiritual power? Now that I am unable to gather energy and absorb spiritual power, I am afraid this is the only way to maintain the dignity of the Third Elder of the sect."

Jiang Tingwan said embarrassedly that apart from asking Cang Shuzi for help, she couldn't think of anyone else to turn to for help.

Cang Shuzi frowned slightly, as if he had never thought that such words would come out of Jiang Tingwan's mouth. The junior sister who had been gifted since childhood but still practiced diligently and never fell behind for a day would actually seek shortcuts one day.

Cang Shuzi looked at Jiang Tingwan solemnly, as if thinking about something, and finally said slowly: "Junior sister, you should know that the elixirs of the hundreds of immortal sects are mostly used for treatment and to assist in the cultivation of spiritual power. The elixirs that skip the cultivation and simply enhance the spiritual power..."

When Cang Shuzi got to this point, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped talking.

Seeing Cang Shuzi pause, Jiang Tingwan also realized that it was unusual for him to ask this question. He was thinking about how to explain the fact that not only his realm had declined, but also some of his common sense cognition had decreased.

"Well... of course I know this. I just thought that maybe my senior brother could help me solve the current crisis with a method that others don't know about." Jiang Tingwan made up his mind randomly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Cang Shuzi changed his tone and replied, "I understand what Junior Sister means."

"Ah?..." Jiang Tingwan was slightly stunned. What did he understand?

"But this matter needs to be carefully considered. Please allow me to think about it, Junior Sister." Cang Shuzi looked embarrassed, as if he had thought of something that violated the ban.

"no……"

Jiang Tingwan still didn't understand. No, what do you understand? Why don't I understand?

Jiang Tingwan was anxious in his heart and looked anxious, but he didn't dare to ask. Because Cang Shuzi's expression clearly showed that he had a solution, but he just couldn't get over it in his heart.

"Junior sister, just find a place to stay in Canghua Palace. I will take care of the rest."

After Cang Shuzi finished speaking, he turned and left, but his words seemed to mean that he would continue to cover up for her. As for the method of enhancing spiritual power, he had not yet made a clear promise.

Jiang Tingwan looked at Cang Shuzi's mysterious back, and his mind turned over and over again, but he still couldn't understand. What did he understand?

She originally thought that her nonsense in dealing with Lin Shuyu and Mu Yunzhong was confusing enough, but when she heard these people in the book talking in riddles, she felt like she was from another dimension.

No, she and they are not from the same dimension.

Jiang Tingwan suddenly became alert and calm, reminding himself of his original identity in his heart.
