Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

When Shen Zhaozhao was taken to the immortal prison, his consciousness was already blurred.

The stone walls surrounding the immortal prison were inlaid with thousand-year-old cold jade, and countless tiny runes were sealed in the jade. They flowed slowly like living things, dimming the light in the prison to the point of eternal night.

Shen Zhaozhao was thrown roughly onto the cold stone floor, his limbs tightly locked with black iron chains, the chains rubbing against the ground, making a sharp and harsh sound.

The chains were engraved with runes that restricted her spiritual power. As long as her spiritual power fluctuated slightly, the runes would emit a cold light, burning her skin, and the piercing pain would come like a tide.

She struggled to open her eyes, and saw darkness in front of her. Her sight gradually focused on the wall not far away, where her disheveled figure was reflected, with messy hair sticking to her face.

She immediately understood her situation. She was imprisoned again, this time in the Immortal Prison.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the cell door, coming closer and closer, and then a key was inserted into the keyhole. With a "click", the cell door slowly opened.

Shen Zhaozhao subconsciously shrank back, but was unable to move because of the chains.

Shi Yu lit the spirit candle, squatted down and stuffed a pill into her mouth.

Shen Zhaozhao pursed her lips and didn't eat, looking at him warily.

Who knew what kind of mess he was going to feed her.

Shi Yu felt annoyed when she looked at him like that. She always seemed to distrust him.

"Are you afraid I'll poison you?" Shi Yu stared at her with dissatisfaction and discomfort in his eyes. "Don't worry, this is a healing elixir. I specifically asked Fellow Daoist Gu for it."

Shen Zhaozhao turned her face away and pushed away the pill that was against her lips.

She didn't want to eat Gu Qianmeng's food anymore.

Seeing that she didn't want to eat, Shi Yu didn't force her. He stood up and sighed.

"Shen Zhaozhao, I originally thought you were just being willful, but I didn't expect you to be so bold as to collude with the demons and monsters."

Shen Zhaozhao looked at him and said sincerely, "Thank you." Thank you for trying to help me cover it up before.

Shi Yu pursed his lips and said, "Have you known Chu Yu's identity for a long time? If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Gu and Master explaining this, how long did you plan to keep it a secret from us?"

Half of his face was hidden in the dark red candlelight, and no emotion could be seen.

"Is Chu Yu really that important to you? So important that you'd betray your master and disregard the friendship between you and your fellow disciples?"

"It's very important." Shen Zhaozhao nodded, "You don't understand, Shi Yu."

Shi Yu smiled bitterly. Did he really not understand?

If he didn't understand, why would he want to help her hide it after knowing that she was helping the demons?

How could he be sulking because her eyes always followed Senior Brother Xie?

How could he always go against her just to get her attention?

But the person she followed was first Xie Yanshu, and then Chu Yu. Her gaze was never on him.

Now, because of Chu Yu, he has gotten himself into such a mess and even become the public enemy of the immortal sect.

He squatted down again, looking her in the eye, his expression filled with sadness and hope: "If you admit your mistake, I will go and ask Master to let you go. Master has always been kind, as long as you admit your mistake, he will definitely agree..."

"No." Shen Zhaozhao shook her head and interrupted him, "I don't think I'm wrong. Besides, do you really think Xie Qingyao is a good person?"

Shi Yu frowned and said without hesitation, "Master is of course a good person. He has always hated evil and is upright. He also treats us disciples with great care."

Is it aboveboard?

Shen Zhaozhao smiled and said nothing else.

Shi Yu: "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Zhaozhao: "I laugh at your naiveté. I carry an ancient magical weapon. Don't you all know that?"

Shi Yu thought it was a trivial matter: "Master and Elder Ziyuan will find a way to help you get it out, don't worry."

The chains bound Shen Zhaozhao's limbs so much that they felt numb and painful. She simply lay down, her back to him, and said in a resolute tone, "Go away, and don't come here again."

She didn't want him to have too much contact with her and get implicated.

Shi Yu was very sad. He stared at her back for a while, and finally calmed himself down. He said slowly, "Then you should rest first. I will come to see you next time."

Xie Qingyao sent invitations to all the sects to discuss the matter of killing Chu Yu.

Inside the Fanyang Palace.

The ten major sects in the world of immortal cultivation gathered together.

The leader of the Jingming Dao sat in the first seat on the left side of Xie Qingyao and was the first to express his opinion.

"Since the new Demon Lord of the Demon Clan comes from your Qingwei Sect, then this matter is your Qingwei Sect's own business."

"If I remember correctly, Sect Master Xie previously promised us solemnly that he would deal with the demon spies on his own."

He still remembered that he had sought help from Qingwei Sect to find his disciple's missing magic weapon, but Xie Qingyao refused.

He was very dissatisfied.

Why is the Qingwei Sect the only one in power? They have to obey Xie Qingyao in everything.

They are all sects of cultivating immortals, so who is more noble than the other? Isn’t Xie Qingyao relying on his great cultivation and the fact that Qingwei Sect possesses the ancient artifact - the Five Dragon Wheel?

The leader of the Bidong Sect, who was sitting in the second row on the left, also agreed.

Xie Qingyao's fingers, which were resting on the chair, were clenched until they turned white, his eyes were gloomy. He hid his emotions and looked at the leader of Nanwu Sect on the right with a smile.

"Sect Master Lin, what do you think?"

The Nanwu Sect's leader was always a smooth talker. He said with a smile, "Although this spy came from the Qingwei Sect, he has now ascended to the high position of Demon Lord in the Demon Clan. This is not just the Qingwei Sect's business."

Xie Qingyao's expression lightened up a little.

The Nanwu Sect leader changed the subject: "However, if we want to annihilate this demon, there will inevitably be casualties. My Nanwu Sect disciples cannot compare to Master Xie's outstanding disciples. I am really worried about the safety of my Nanwu Sect disciples."

Penglai Island has been secluded from the world for a long time and has always been at peace with the world. If Xie Qingyao had not posted the invitation this time, and if he had not often taken his wife to Penglai Island for recuperation and had a deep connection with the Immortal Xue Chong, the owner of Penglai Island would not have wanted to come.

So he sat lazily in a chair, drinking tea, not saying anything, just listening quietly.

"Thank you, Sect Master." The Sect Master of Biyun Mountain said solemnly, "Biyun Mountain is willing to do its utmost to assist in annihilating the demon."

Hearing this, Xie Qingyao's frown finally relaxed a little.

He glanced at Gu Qianmeng, who was standing next to the leader of Biyun Mountain, and said with a smile, "These past few days, it's all thanks to Miss Gu who has been taking care of my son. The two children are in love, so it would be a great thing if we could arrange a marriage for them sooner rather than later."

Most of the people in Biyun Mountain are alchemists. Although it is also an old sect in the world of immortal cultivation, its strength is still a little lacking, and it has never been taken seriously by other sects that focus on sword cultivation and weapon cultivation.

Gu Qianmeng is the only weapon cultivator in the sect. Since joining the sect, he has been highly regarded by the Sect Master and elders of Biyun Mountain.

The leader of Biyun Mountain thought about it and felt that if his beloved disciple could marry Young Master Xie, he would definitely receive more blessings from the number one sect in the world of immortal cultivation in the future.

He nodded in agreement.

Seeing his timid attitude, the leader of the Jingming Dao rolled his eyes silently and cursed inwardly, "You spineless thing."

Xie Qingyao continued, "Actually, I called everyone here today because I have something else to tell you."
