The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

"You little brat, I urge you to be sensible and hand over this body! With your meager cultivation, you dare to imagine you can challenge me? You're simply throwing an egg against a rock!"

The monster roared arrogantly, its voice echoing in the air, carrying endless pressure.

Lu Ciyan hugged his head tightly, his brows furrowed, as if he was in great pain.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words with all his strength, "You...don't even think about it!"

In this physical battle, the ten-year-old Lu Ciyan seemed so small and fragile. In contrast, the monster that had survived for who knows how many years was so formidable that it easily gained the upper hand.

Lu Ciyan's face was sometimes distorted and struggling, revealing an expression of extreme pain; sometimes he showed a complacent expression, as if he had become a different person in an instant.

These two completely different and contrasting expressions reflected each other on his young face, which made people feel creepy.

At the same time, the monster that had the upper hand had begun to greedily absorb the memories carried by Lu Ciyan's body. As it gained a deeper understanding of these memories, the monster became more and more excited.

"Oh? So you actually have a master, and it seems like this master treats you very well, actually bestowing you with so many life-saving magic weapons. It's a pity... hehehe!"

The demon's voice trembled slightly with excessive excitement, gradually becoming sharp and piercing: "When I completely control your body, your good master will naturally become my own!"

"When the time comes, I will replace everything of yours: your body, your magic weapon, your friends, and even your master!"

"She will forever protect the culprit who personally killed his disciples!"

"hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

The series of laughter seemed to come from the demons in the abyss of hell, with endless ridicule and mockery, reverberating mercilessly in his mind.

It was not known what the monster said that touched Lu Ciyan's heartstrings. He was stunned and an extremely powerful force suddenly burst out from his consciousness.

This force was only the size of a sesame seed at first, but it continued to expand and spread at an astonishing speed, filling his entire body in an instant.

At the same time, Lu Ciyan's body began to emit dazzling golden light from the inside out, illuminating everything around him as bright as day.

“How…how could it…turn out like this!?”

Accompanied by a scream full of fear and disbelief, the monster's originally arrogant voice came to an abrupt end and finally disappeared in Lu Ciyan's mind.

However, after such a fierce outburst just now, Lu Ciyan felt dizzy and a sense of powerlessness came over him instantly.

Is he...going to die?

Just as his consciousness was about to be completely swallowed by the darkness, a blurry figure slowly emerged before his eyes.

He seemed to see his master...

People often say that when a person faces death, the face of the person he most desires to see in this life will often appear in his mind involuntarily, and the person he most wants to see in the end is - Master.

But he doesn't want to die yet...

Lu Ciyan tried hard to fight the heaviness of his eyelids and wanted to open his eyes wide to look at Lu Shi again, but there seemed to be a layer of mist in front of his eyes, and he could only vaguely see the other person's vague outline.

His long eyelashes fluttered up and down rapidly, but he could not resist the invasion of sleepiness, and his eyes slowly closed.

Lu Shi, who was believed to be an illusion, finally arrived before Lu Ciyan lost consciousness.

She originally thought that the scene would be extremely "miserable". After all, the sharp screams made by the system never stopped when it was leading the way, which meant that Lu Ciyan's situation was indeed not optimistic.

But when she arrived at her destination, Lu Ciyan was fine except for some almost negligible wounds and extreme exhaustion.

There was still a very strong demonic energy in the air. Lu Shi looked around and was shocked to find a corpse not far away. The demonic energy and freshness of the corpse confirmed that it was a monster that had died not long ago.

Lu Shi blinked, and the thought that came to her mind shocked her.

Could it be that Lu Ciyan killed this monster?

When did he, a small follower at the fifth level of Qi Refining, become so powerful?

Could it be that the power of the original immortal has awakened?

I have to tell the truth about Lu Shi.

But she didn't have time to think too much at this moment. Her disciple was still lying on the cold and pebbled ground. It would be inappropriate for her to think too much.

She walked over and picked up Lu Ciyan. Her small body was so light that it seemed as if it weighed nothing, as light as a feather, and one could not even feel its weight.

The baby fat that had taken months to build up disappeared in just over ten days. Now, his pointed chin was prominently revealed, and he looked noticeably thinner.

It seems that I have suffered a lot in the past ten days, but it is a good training.

After all, he is the only one who can bravely venture into the world of demons and monsters alone with only the fifth level of Qi Refining and successfully return alive. Such a feat has been achieved by him, whether in ancient times or in the present era.

As his master, Lu Shi should be proud of her.

But this is not the case.

After Lu Shi brought him back to Xinglan Peak, he took good care of him, but the first thing he did after he woke up was to punish him.

Lu Ciyan thought he was going to die. Although he was extremely reluctant, he could not resist the coming of death.

But he never expected that he was still alive, and the master he saw before he fell into a coma was not his hallucination, but the master really found him.

The first thing he did after waking up was to hug Lu Shi tightly, burying his head in Lu Shi's arms and trying his best to absorb the other's breath. He looked like he wished he could make Lu Shi smaller and put him in his pocket so that he could stay with Lu Shi all the time.

But pushing Lu Ciyan away seemed to have become Lu Shi's subconscious reaction. She was really afraid of the other person's snot and tears.

But unlike the previous times when he could push it away easily, this time the other party wrapped him very tightly. His face turned red due to the effort, and when he turned his head to breathe, his lips opened and closed as he gasped.

Then he raised his head and looked at Lu Shi, his eyes seemed to be filled with a thin layer of mist, "Master, I almost died..."

"Just let me hug you, okay?"

Lu Shi was silent, sighed slightly, and put down his hand that was about to use force.

Seeing this, Lu Ciyan silently smiled triumphantly in his heart, and leaned his head back into Lu Shi's arms.

Master's body was so fragrant and soft, he really wanted to hold her forever...

But he knew that his thoughts would definitely make his master angry, so while estimating Lu Shi's patience, Lu Ci Yan reluctantly left Lu Shi's arms after holding him for nearly a quarter of an hour.

You have to know your limits. If you hug me again, Master will be angry.

It can be said that Lu Ciyan really guessed Lu Shiyan's bottom line accurately. Lu Shiben had planned to force her to do it if Lu Ciyan didn't let go, but Lu Ciyan let go at that moment.

Lu Shi slowly tidied up her clothes. Now that the person was awake, she had to go over the past.

"Lu Ciyan, who allowed you to sneak out of the sect without permission?"

Lu Shi's voice was like a cold wind blowing past his ears. Lu Ciyan felt his whole body tremble and a little chill rose in his heart.
