154. Chapter 154: Shocking Change! A Stable Triangle!

Chu Yang also had a headache about how to deal with Jiang Ming, not because he couldn't beat him, but because a cute little girl was standing in front of him.

Jiang Wan'er.

The daughter born to Jiang Ming and the fox demon.

It was precisely because of Jiang Wan'er's existence that Jiang Ming did not completely fall into the demonic path and still retained a trace of clarity.

The moment he entered the last floor, Chu Yang met Jiang Wan'er.

Feeling the breath of a living person on Chu Yang, Jiang Wan'er was first pleasantly surprised, then became afraid. She was afraid that Chu Yang would be killed by her father who had fallen into evil, so she persuaded Chu Yang to turn back.

Chu Yang didn't expect the last floor to be Jiang Ming, but it made sense; there was no one more powerful than him to be found here.

Even the Heavenly Demon Emperor would only face death if he faced the evil Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was a very special character. Although he was the cause of Shushan's disaster, ultimately, it was his respected master and fellow disciples who forced him into evil.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't have taken this path, but unfortunately, no one gave him a choice at the time, or rather, they forced him to choose a path he didn't want to take.

That generation of the Sword Sect, from Sect Leader Jiang Juezhi to the disciples under him, seemed more like they were asking for it. They planted the cause, and then they bore the evil consequences, that's all.

From beginning to end, Jiang Ming seemed more like a victim in that special environment.

Chu Yang could strike the Heavenly Demon Emperor without hesitation, but he hesitated repeatedly when it came to Jiang Ming.

"You'd better leave quickly. If Father isn't clear-headed later, you won't be able to leave!"

Jiang Wan'er shook Chu Yang's arm, anxiously begging him to leave.

"Do you think he is in pain like this now?"

Chu Yang suddenly asked.

Jiang Wan'er looked at her father, who was separated by a door, with deep eyes, her gaze full of sorrow, "Of course he is in great pain. Father lives in self-blame every day. He goes crazy because of self-blame, and because of madness, he has slaughtered many people. This has been cycling for many years."

"His clear-headed time is getting shorter and shorter. Perhaps sooner or later he will become a devil who only knows how to kill, but I cannot leave him because I am his only relative."

Chu Yang sighed, "I can try to let him be liberated, but he might die. Can you accept that?"

Jiang Wan'er was stunned, looking at Chu Yang with an incredulous gaze, as if asking if it was really possible.

"Compared to completely falling into the demonic path, Father should want to be liberated more."

Jiang Wan'er gave a definite answer.

"Then you wait for me outside."

Chu Yang slowly walked into the door.

At this time, Jiang Ming was much more terrifying than the Jiang Ming in the original plot. He summoned the Heavenly Demon when he fell into evil, and after his death, he was infected by the aura of the Heavenly Demon, in a state of half-ghost and half-demon.

In terms of evil, it is estimated that even the Evil Sword Immortal would be a head shorter than him.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Ming tilted his head, his eyes blood-red, full of madness.

Chu Yang cupped his hands, "Junior Chu Yang, greetings, Senior."

"Shushan disciple?"

Jiang Ming recognized the Daoist robe on Chu Yang, his tone suddenly dull. The next second, his pupils had turned into a sea of blood.

The two words "Shushan" were like some kind of switch that would stimulate Jiang Ming to the greatest extent.

Jiang Ming instantly fell into evil.

"I originally wanted to learn from the Sword Saint and chat with you, but now there is no need for that."

Chu Yang helplessly sacrificed 【Fengdu】. The Yellow Spring water surged out from the void, drowning the evil Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming, who was preparing to take action, was like being hit by a immobilization spell, standing still on the spot, his expression becoming extremely painful and struggling.

The damage of the Yellow Spring to the soul body was very high, and at the same time, it would wash away the Heavenly Demon aura on Jiang Ming. If he was lucky, Jiang Ming would return to normal before dissipating and be able to say a few words to Jiang Wan'er.

At first, Jiang Ming would still wail, but as the demonic thoughts decreased, his eyes gradually became clear.

Even if he was still in great pain, it seemed insignificant.

Finally, Jiang Ming's figure became thinner and thinner, like a bubble in a dream, as if it would break with a poke.

"Thank you, little friend. This old man has been confused for many years, and finally, I can have a moment of consciousness."

Jiang Ming nodded slightly, with a kind smile on his face.

"Time is running out. Senior, you should save your words for Jiang Wan'er."

Chu Yang turned around and called Jiang Wan'er from outside the door.

Because she hadn't spoken to Jiang Ming for too long, Jiang Wan'er was a bit timid and walked very slowly.

"If you don't say anything else, Senior will be gone."

Chu Yang reminded her and turned to walk outside, leaving the space for the father and daughter.

In just a few breaths, Jiang Wan'er's crying came from inside. She hadn't had time to feel the love of her father and mother before her parents left her one after another.

By the time Chu Yang entered again, Jiang Ming had disappeared. His soul, washed by the Yellow Spring, had the qualifications to enter reincarnation. Otherwise, with his soul contaminated by the Heavenly Demon aura, he would definitely have turned into ashes.

Jiang Wan'er thanked Chu Yang while crying. Chu Yang waved his hand, his gaze sweeping toward the surrounding arrays.

As the bottom floor of the Demon-Locking Tower, this was the foundation of the entire tower, and naturally, it was also the place with the most arrays.

It would take longer to record them completely.

Chu Yang didn't mind that Jiang Wan'er was by his side at all. He took out various high-tech equipment in front of her. The little girl who was still crying was immediately attracted, and her crying stopped abruptly.

Anyway, with her identity, no one would believe what she said when she went out, and she wouldn't stay in Shushan.

Just as Chu Yang was repairing the array, the situation outside the Demon-Locking Tower was changing rapidly.

Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal arrived together, suddenly launching a sneak attack on Qingwei and the others who were maintaining the array, and snatching away the five spirit beads.

The Five Spirit Array was instantly broken.

The situation that had been maintained with great difficulty was destroyed in one fell swoop. The Demon-Locking Tower, which had already been repaired for the most part, began to teeter again.

"Damn it! I was careless!"

Seeing that Chu Yang was exceptionally smooth, Dugu Sword Saint relaxed his vigilance, resulting in a huge mistake. He attacked in anger, and thousands of sword qi swept toward Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal.

The Wine Sword Immortal was also furious, throwing his wine gourd to the ground, using the Sword Control Art to trap the two, assisting his senior brother Sword Saint to eliminate these two evil demons.

Xu Changqing ran toward Qingwei and Canggu in a panic, a fear he had never felt before surging in his heart.

Li Xiaoyao and Jingtian were also preparing to go over, but were pulled by Lin Yueru. She said anxiously, "We will handle this here. You go and help Senior Sword Saint and Senior Wine Sword Immortal. You must not let Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal take the five spirit beads!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyao immediately rushed toward Bai Yue, and Jingtian followed with the Demon Sword.

Turning his head, Lin Yueru found Xu Changqing holding Canggu, his face pale, and her heart sank. "Brother Xu, pull yourself together and feed the Blood Bodhi to the seniors quickly."

Lin Yueru pulled Xu Changqing's clothes and shook him vigorously, only to see Xu Changqing showing a bitter smile.

"Miss Lin, I have already fed them the Blood Bodhi, but it has no effect at all. The wounds on the bodies of the masters have evil thoughts entrenched, like maggots on the bones, preventing the wounds from healing."

Xu Changqing's voice trembled, fearing that these respected elders of his sect would die here.

"Pull yourself together!"

Tang Xuejian came up and slapped Xu Changqing in the face, saying to the stunned Xu Changqing, "Only you can save them here. Think of what to do and do it!"

Xu Changqing took a deep breath, straightened the bodies of Qingwei and Canggu, and then passed his own spiritual power to them, helping them resist the erosion of evil thoughts.

Lin Yueru followed suit, supporting one of the elders, Jingming, and using her true essence to help him resist the evil thoughts.

Although Tang Xuejian's cultivation was not enough, she was the fruit of the God Tree and had a sacred aura. With the help of the Five Poison Beast, she could barely resist evil thoughts for an elder.

The last elder was helped by Long Kui, who was the spirit of the Demon Sword and was good at dealing with evil thoughts and demonic energy.

In this way, they barely managed to hang on to the lives of Qingwei and the others, but as time passed, they would eventually be unable to maintain it.

Everyone understood that the only hope now was Chu Yang in the Demon-Locking Tower.

"Don't pin your hopes on him. If he wasn't maintaining the array inside, this Demon-Locking Tower would have collapsed long ago!"

A crimson figure suddenly appeared.

"Red-haired..." Tang Xuejian hadn't finished speaking when she felt Chong Lou's cold gaze, so she hurriedly changed her words, "Senior Demon Lord, you came just in time, please help us!"

Chong Lou glanced at the few old men who were seriously injured and dying, and said lightly, "My agreement with that guy is to protect you from dying. Old man Qingwei and the others don't count."

Tang Xuejian said anxiously, "How can that be? If something happens to Sect Leader Qingwei and the others, Daoist Xu and Daoist Chu will definitely be sad. If they die of sadness, wouldn't that count as you not keeping your agreement?"

Chong Lou's eyelids jumped, and it took him a long time to say, "Women really like to make unreasonable trouble!"

Lin Yueru said angrily, "Since you won't help us, then go help Li Xiaoyao and Jingtian, kill Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal, that counts as you completing the agreement, okay?"

Chong Lou's mouth curled slightly, "They are not in a desperate situation, I won't help!"

Tang Xuejian glared at him fiercely and scolded, "If you won't help, then don't! You're just here to watch us make a fool of ourselves!"

Just as they were at a stalemate, a cold voice sounded.

"Since the Demon Lord won't help, let me do it. Please leave the pure land of Shushan, Demon Lord."

Zi Xuan suddenly appeared, walking over step by step with the Holy Spirit Bead. She said to Xu Changqing, "The repair of the Demon-Locking Tower is only one step away. The Holy Spirit Bead and the five spirit beads are of the same origin and can differentiate into the power of the five spirits to complete the last bit of spiritual power."

Xu Changqing and Demon Lord Chong Lou said in unison, "No!"

Xu Changqing shook his head without hesitation, "If that happens, the Holy Spirit Bead will be completely destroyed, and you won't live for a few days!"

"I have lived for a long time, that is enough." Zi Xuan smiled like a flower, "Now that I have recognized Ling Er and spent some time with her, I am already satisfied."

Xu Changqing still shook his head, "No!"

Zi Xuan's eyes were gentle. She walked to Xu Changqing's side, touched his hair, and whispered, "I am leaving. You must cultivate well and seek the Dao of immortality."

Xu Changqing could only watch helplessly as Zi Xuan walked toward the Demon-Locking Tower. He was still holding the lives of Qingwei and Canggu in his hands and couldn't move! "What a waste!"

Chong Lou didn't know if he was scolding Xu Changqing or himself. After scolding, he strode out and, before Zi Xuan, pressed his hand on the Demon-Locking Tower.

Powerful demonic power wrapped around the Demon-Locking Tower, instantly replenishing the spiritual power needed for repairs.

Almost at the same time, a crisp sword sound rang out. 【Fengdu】 flew out from the top of the tower first, and then everyone saw Chu Yang's figure.

【Fengdu】 flew toward Qingwei and the others, summoning Yellow Spring water to wash away evil thoughts, while Chu Yang rushed straight toward Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal.

"Die!"

Anger burned through every corner of Chu Yang's body. Since coming to this world, this was the first time he had been so angry.

The phenomenon of the sun and moon in the same sky appeared behind Chu Yang. The upgraded Original Body of Martial Essence had even more powerful pressure, and a heart-palpitating aura permeated every gesture.

The sun and moon descended, suppressing the world! Chu Yang raised his fist and fell heavily. In an instant, the entire space was trembling!

The ground beneath Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal suddenly sank, and the terrifying fist momentum actually faintly suppressed them so they couldn't stand up.

The two figures flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, their original position exploded, and then quickly collapsed, shaking out tsunami-like waves in all directions! Even the Sword Saint and others not far away were affected!

Chu Yang, suspended high in the sky, had an aura that made people breathless, like a god! Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal looked at each other and had the idea of retreating. The five spirit beads were already in hand, so there was no need to continue fighting to the death.

Such a terrifying Chu Yang plus the Sword Saint and others, the two of them had almost no chance of winning.

Fortunately, the Demon Lord had no intention of taking action, otherwise Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal would have fled at the first moment and would not be entangled here.

Chu Yang sensed their thoughts and immediately used the Universal Pull. The Evil Sword Immortal was pulled by the terrifying suction, his body swayed, and the five spirit beads flew out.

"Oh no!"

The Evil Sword Immortal still wanted to fly to grab it, but a sharp sword qi slashed over, forcing him back.

The Sword Saint used his finger as a sword and performed the Ten Thousand Sword Art. Countless sword qi were like a storm, knocking the Evil Sword Immortal away.

After putting away the five spirit beads, Chu Yang held 【Fengdu】 and opened the Ghost Gate, wanting to completely subdue the Evil Sword Immortal.

The appearance of the Ghost Gate crushed the Evil Sword Immortal's last psychological defense, and for the first time, a look of panic appeared on his face.

He wanted to escape without thinking!

Suddenly.

The ground cracked with huge fissures, and a huge demon beast drilled out from the underground, blocking everyone's attack.

In an instant, Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal disappeared.

Chu Yang glanced at the suddenly appearing demon beast, didn't take it to heart, handed it to the Sword Saint and others, and then flew to Canggu's side.

Without the evil thoughts entrenched, his injuries healed quickly under the effect of the Blood Bodhi.

The others were the same.

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and began to reflect on himself. He shouldn't have underestimated Bai Yue and the Evil Sword Immortal. This sneak attack almost succeeded.

If it weren't for the previous agreement with the Demon Lord, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The collapse of the Demon-Locking Tower was secondary. The most important thing was that Qingwei and the others almost lost their lives. If the five of them died, the Evil Sword Immortal of the same origin could obtain their cultivation and become an Outer Heavenly Demon in one step.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen. Chu Yang learned from his mistakes. Next time, he must fleece Chong Lou a little more. It is really useful at critical moments! But these are all later stories. Now there are more important things to deal with.

Not far away, Chong Lou was staring at Zi Xuan, Zi Xuan was looking at Xu Changqing with tenderness, and Xu Changqing was glaring at Chong Lou. The three formed a perfect triangle.

Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh, "What a stable shape." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 155 =====
