Chapter 204 The Fishing Master and His Clingy Disciple (20)
The further you go, the thicker the fog becomes in the mountains.
Shen Wangchuan frowned and followed closely behind his master.
Having just experienced a close call, his nerves were on edge.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly, realizing how weak he was. If he were to encounter real danger, he could only hide behind his master.
This undoubtedly frustrated him somewhat.
With his master as his role model, he will one day become as powerful as his master!
Whether it was due to the demons earlier or not, Xie Liuyan was extremely displeased with the fog at this moment.
It can easily distract the eye and make it difficult to discern directions.
He placed his spiritual power in his sleeve, and with a flick of his sleeve, he completely blew away the surrounding mist.
Therefore, they saw the environment before them.
It was exactly the same place they had been before!
Shen Wangchuan felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of the location and the few withered trees.
"Master, where are we now? This place seems to be the same as where we were just now!"
Thinking about what had just happened, Shen Wangchuan unconsciously prepared to draw his sword.
After glancing at the withered tree a few times, Xie Liuyan said to Shen Wangchuan behind him, "It's alright, we're still moving forward."
"However, this is a different formation."
As he spoke, he gathered his spiritual power at his fingertips, and with a flick of his wrist, Frostbite swiftly and cleanly left his body.
They cut down all the dead trees in front of them, and in an instant, spiritual and demonic energy scattered everywhere.
As they slashed, a protective shield appeared around them.
Xie Liuyan narrowed his eyes, wanting to see what other tricks this demon could pull.
In a short while, the air began to flow again, and the fog in the mountains completely dissipated.
With the dead tree completely cut down and the formation broken, they were able to see the scene not far away.
Lin Qinglin and many of his disciples were bound in the formation, their eyes closed, their faces pale, and they were unconscious.
Xie Liuyan frowned and led Shen Wangchuan forward.
The two had a clear division of labor: after Shuanghan cut the ropes binding them, they checked each of them for breath.
The conclusion was that Lin Qinglin and the other disciples were unharmed, but had fallen into a coma.
Remembering what Lin Ai had said before he left, Xie Liuyan didn't delay any longer and summoned a dozen drops of water from his spirit ring in the same way.
With one hand forming a mudra, he sprayed water droplets into their foreheads.
If he's not mistaken, that demon likely feeds on inner demons.
That's why Lin Qinglin and the others were tied up here.
The spiritual power of cultivators is extremely strong; once absorbed, the strength of the demon race will inevitably increase greatly.
Every cultivator will inevitably have inner demons.
In the process of cultivation, one must contend with inner demons and ultimately overcome oneself in order to continuously explore the path to immortality.
A short while later, Lin Qinglin opened his eyes first.
The first thing he saw was his martial uncle standing in front of him.
"Uncle-Master??"
How could he see his martial uncle here? Logically speaking, his martial uncle should be in the sect.
"Ah."
Xie Liuyan gave a soft "hmm" in response, took two steps back, and then inquired about what had happened to them:
"How did you end up being tied up here by the demons?"
To his shame, Lin Qinglin lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought:
"My fellow disciples and I had already finished our training, but when we passed through Fuyou Mountain, we found that the once bustling and tranquil village was now desolate."
"After questioning an old man, we suspected that demons had appeared, and we went into the mountains without thinking too much about it."
"I didn't expect the demons to be so powerful. I lost consciousness amidst the soaring demonic energy. When I woke up, I saw my martial uncle."
Knowing he couldn't escape punishment, Lin Qinglin spoke with a pitiful expression.
I hope my uncle can forgive their recklessness this time, considering our past relationship.
Xie Liuyan wasn't buying it, his tone ambiguous:
"Knowing there are demons here, why didn't you report it to the sect? Your master has been very worried about you. You should think about how to explain this to your master when you get back."
Lin Qinglin could tell at a glance that his martial uncle was angry; they had indeed acted rashly this time.
"I know, Uncle-Master. I will reflect on my actions when I get back."
His gaze shifted and he saw Shen Wangchuan standing next to his martial uncle. Why did this guy come with his martial uncle too?
Shen Wangchuan met his gaze, a smile playing on his lips.
Lin Qinglin unilaterally interpreted his behavior as provocation. He had made a serious mistake this time, and even his martial uncle was furious.
It's good that Shen Wangchuan stayed by his uncle's side and got a lot of freebies.
Thinking about what he had said to this guy before, and observing his words and actions, Lin Qinglin felt a burning hatred in his heart.
Could it be that his upright and honest martial uncle has really been abducted by Shen Wangchuan?
Before his thoughts could drift away, he heard Xie Liuyan say the following:
"The demons in the mountains have not been eliminated. You should take the other disciples down the mountain as soon as possible, return to the sect, and report everything to your senior brother for a decision."
As soon as Xie Liuyan finished speaking, the other unconscious disciples woke up one after another and bowed to Xie Liuyan upon seeing him.
Lin Qinglin knew the situation was urgent and that this was not the time for personal opinions, so he quickly replied:
"Alright, Uncle-Master, Qinglin guarantees to complete the mission!!"
As the group prepared to depart, Lin Qinglin's gaze swept over Shen Wangchuan, and she hesitated, as if trying to say something to Xie Liuyan.
Xie Liuyan noticed his hesitation. "Is there anything else?"
Lin Qinglin pointed at Shen Wangchuan, "Uncle-Master, does Junior Brother Shen want to go back with us?"
Shen Wangchuan gritted his teeth inwardly, knowing that Lin Qinglin was deliberately causing trouble because she didn't like him.
I finally managed to get out with my master, such a great opportunity to strengthen our relationship, I can't let Lin Qinglin ruin it.
Upon hearing this, Xie Liuyan turned his gaze to Shen Wangchuan beside him, as if he could read the trace of sorrow in his eyes.
Xie Liuyan chuckled softly:
“He doesn’t need it, I’ll protect him.”
"Your early descent will ease my worries. We will return as soon as we have dealt with the demons on the mountain."
The moment the first half of his sentence was uttered, the disciples present were utterly shocked.
I've long heard that my uncle took in a disciple two years ago and has been cherishing him dearly, never bringing him out to play.
At the time, they thought it was just a rumor, but now that they've seen it again, it's clear it wasn't unfounded.
When did their senior uncle change his ways?
Shen Wangchuan blinked and watched Lin Qinglin and the others leave.
No one knew that when he heard his master say that he would protect him, his heart felt like it was filled with countless fireworks set off by spiritual power.
Crackle, crackle, crackle.
Perhaps he should be bolder; what if his master also likes him?
"Don't be in a daze, let's go."
Xie Liuyan's words brought him back to reality. Shen Wangchuan remained silent, simply following behind his master.
0526, residing within the consciousness of the Supreme God, silently sighed as he watched Shen Wangchuan, whose budding romance was impossible to conceal, through the system's perspective:
"This must be the magic of love."
Compared to the previous worlds, Shen Wangchuan in this world is so innocent!
This is a rant from the God's personal system 0526.
