Chapter 131: Faking Death and Swapping Identities
“Victory!!!”
Jiang Yueli struggled desperately, but was entangled by the magic chain. He fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"Why do you do that? Why do you do that?"
But Hua Shengsheng had already fallen to the ground, blood gushing out, and his body gradually cooling down.
The injury on Ji Yan's foot relapsed again, and he stared at Guijianchou with his eyes.
But Gui Jianchou calmly drew out half of the red sword:
"I have no right to defend myself, and I am willing to prove my loyalty with my actions."
On the stone chair, the Demon Lord leaned slightly sideways, tapping the stone surface rhythmically with his knuckles, as if thinking about Guijianchou's true feelings.
Seeing that the Demon Lord remained silent, Guijianchou closed his eyes slightly, hiding the determination in his eyes.
"If you still don't believe me, I will die to prove my point!"
Then the sword fell on his neck.
Just as he was about to take action, the Demon Lord above finally spoke:
"stop."
The bet was right!
The heavy stone in Guijianchou's heart finally fell.
The Demon Lord asked him to put down the sword:
"He has climbed out of the Demonic Abyss and has a strong mind. I am very relieved. I am just a little curious."
"Thank you for your trust, Lord."
Guijianchou breathed a sigh of relief.
The Demon Lord ordered his subordinates to imprison the people, and as for Hua Shengsheng, he was thrown into the Demon Abyss and burned.
The little leader Mo Qian, who had been flattering just now, immediately took on the job.
Let his men carry the dead Hua Shengsheng out.
A small accident happened during the journey. Ji Yan actually bit through the magic net, escaped, and wanted to bring back the body of his companion.
He was slapped back by Guijianchou.
"Take him back and put him in the dungeon. No, put him in purgatory!"
When Ji Yan was dragged away by the net, his mouth was full of blood foam:
"Ghost, the thing I regret most in my life is treating you as a brother!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Tou disappeared around the corner.
Guijianchou had a blank expression on his face, and the demon soldiers around him also complained secretly.
They were good brothers one second and turned ruthless the next.
But something even more ruthless is coming.
Gui Jianchou ordered: "Give me the body, I will throw it into the Demon Abyss and burn it myself!"
Mo Qian cursed Guijianchou for being so crazy.
While complaining that he was trying to steal even this little credit.
"This... Your subordinate... Your subordinate obeys your order."
Guijianchou dragged the corpse and disappeared around the corner. Mo Qian rolled his eyes and followed him.
After leaving the cave, Mo Qian saw from afar the guardian standing next to Mo Yuan, holding the dead monk who was still bleeding in one hand.
Then he threw the man into the hellfire.
In less than two seconds, the man completely disappeared in the sea of fire.
On the other hand, the guardian calmly clapped his hands, took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands, and threw the handkerchief into the sea of fire.
"Tsk tsk, so cruel. I thought he wanted to let the person go secretly."
Just as Mo Qian was about to quietly leave, a chilly voice came from behind him:
"If you have any opinions, please tell me."
Mo Qian was so scared that he knelt down immediately.
Guijianchou didn't even look at him and just walked away.
Mo Qian quickly got up and chased after him, saying nice things for free.
At the silent entrance to the Demonic Abyss, Hua Shengsheng opened his eyes, and the karmic fire burned away his disguise.
Revealing the true face of the ghost.
In the corner, he accurately found the storage ring wrapped in a handkerchief, picked it up, wrapped it with spiritual power and put it in his pocket.
Then he took out the prepared immortal rope, tied it to the hot stone in the flames, and slowly walked down through the fire.
The flames licked every inch of his skin. An ordinary cultivator would have fainted from the pain long ago, but Guijianchou just walked down in silence.
Although the ghost is no longer burned and the body has become resistant to the karmic fire, it does not mean that the pain will be reduced.
On the other side, Nie Baili squatted beside Jiang Yueli and watched her crying.
The little person huddled in the corner, hugging his knees with his hands and burying his face in them.
Purgatory is unguarded and pitch black, with no distinction between day and night, and ghosts howling in one's ears.
People with weaker mental faculties would be scared crazy if they stayed there for too long.
No wonder there are no magic soldiers guarding it.
"Don't cry, they are just acting for you."
It was a pity that Nie Baili couldn't really touch her head and give her strength.
Ji Yan, who was separated from her by a wall, turned into his original form and lay on the ground.
The smell of blood was pungent, the paws and fangs were all covered with wounds, and there were still some fibers of the magic web remaining in the gaps between the teeth.
He used brute force to break free, hoping to leave his friend's body intact.
Bring Shengsheng's body back to Qingxiao Sect.
Unexpectedly...
Tears kept welling up in Ji Yan's eyes.
Suddenly, a pair of black sheepskin boots stopped in front of him.
Ji Yan turned his head away, his heart filled with resentment.
"Ayan?"
Ji Yan turned around irritably: "Don't call me that, I told you we won't..."
All his resentment disappeared when he saw the person in front of him.
"Shengsheng?! You're not dead, you!!!"
Hua Shengsheng put his index finger close to his lips: "Shh, don't make a sound, I'll take you out."
Ji Yan was stunned:
"Why are you wearing Jian Jian's clothes?"
Hua Shengsheng silently chanted a spell to open the prison door, took the man away, and took out a talisman.
The moment the talisman fell to the ground, it transformed into a white tiger.
"Come on, I'll explain it to you later."
The two men went to the next room and did the same thing to pull out Jiang Yueli's hairpin and wrap it with talismans. There was another puppet in the cell just like Jiang Yueli.
The three of them left through the secret passage.
Hua Shengsheng led the way according to Gui Jianchou's instructions.
After turning several times, we finally turned into an empty stone house.
This is the cave of the ghost.
Jiang Yueli and Ji Yan were like children who had left home, staring at Hua Shengsheng without blinking.
I was afraid that he would melt in the next second.
Hua Shengsheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, this is what Jianjian and I have discussed."
Time goes back to the night when the two revealed their identities.
Gui Jianchou advised: "Now the Lord must have set a trap for you to fall into. If you go now, won't you be walking into a trap?"
Hua Shengsheng's persistence is undiminished:
"For Xiaobai, I have to go even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire."
Gui Jianchou had no choice but to tell the truth:
"Under the Ten Thousand Feet Demonic Abyss, there are reincarnation flowers blooming everywhere. I will go down and get them."
Hua Shengsheng's eyes were complicated:
"Have you ever thought that if Uncle Shentu and the demon slave have an unclear connection, you will also be suspected?"
"If you go back then, you will be in great danger."
Guijianchou was stunned. Everything he did in Qingxiao Sect was no secret.
Having been through life and death with his friends, no one would suspect that he was a spy.
Maybe even the demons wouldn't doubt it after seeing this.
If his every move was known to the demons, it would be a big problem.
"What should we do? We can't just leave Xiaobai alone!"
Hua Shengsheng bit his nails: "Let me think about it."
The two discussed it all night and finally decided to put on a big show.
As expected, the Demon Lord really doubted Guijianchou's loyalty.
The two of them took the opportunity to stage a fake death drama.
During the breathing period, Hua Shengsheng reasoned in reverse and concluded that there must be an unbreakable connection between Shentu Wucuo and the demons.
Hua Shengsheng just pretended to be the big shot. On the way to the Demon Abyss to die, he exchanged identities with Gui Jianchou.
He used a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains in order to secretly send the storage ring down.
Jiang Yueli burst into tears after hearing this: "Wow, why didn't you tell me earlier? I was so scared that I almost banged my head against the wall and died!"
Ji Yan was filled with guilt: "What should I do? I said a lot of excessive things to Jianjian, will he be angry?"
Hua Shengsheng comforted: "The more intense and real your reactions are, the less angry he will be."
Jiang Yueli frowned and asked, "Then... is Jianjian really a spy from the demon clan?"
Hua Shengsheng nodded solemnly: "He is also my brother."
Ji Yan's disappeared smile returned.
He spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm still a demon, and the sect doesn't discriminate against me, right?"
