Chapter 979: This is the Lock Demon Tower

The Lock Demon Tower is a very powerful Treasure Artifact; it was originally built underground, but when someone with a demonic nature appears on Lone Peak, it will manifest and imprison the person possessing that demonic nature beneath the earth. The current Yu Sichen is already hundreds of meters beneath Lone Peak.

"Master, why?" Liu Lianxin stepped forward and asked: "You said you would save her. You let me bring her here to expel the Dark Power from her body. Why lock her in the Lock Demon Tower? This is a treatment reserved only for some giant Demons that wreak havoc on the world."

"Are her hands stained with blood?" Jingxi Jushi asked indifferently.

"They are, but those people were all people who deserved to die. Master once taught me that while it is true that the Buddha saves all people, if people commit evil, one should use thunderous means to stop the bloodshed with killing." Liu Lianxin stepped forward again and said sternly: "She was acting in self-defense; shouldn't she have fought back?"

"Xin'er." Jingxi Jushi gave a soft shout.

With a hum, Liu Lianxin only felt her heart and mind suffer a heavy blow; she retreated several steps, her face turning slightly pale.

This soft shout from Jingxi Jushi appeared simple, but it invisibly contained supreme Buddhist divine abilities; even someone as strong as Liu Lianxin could not fully withstand it.

"Your Buddha-heart is in turmoil." The sharp glint in Jingxi Jushi's eyes gradually faded, and she said indifferently: "Yu Sichen has already entered the path of the Demon; born as a Demon, she must be executed."

Liu Lianxin only felt very uncomfortable in her heart; she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a moment, she could not put her finger on it.

It was just that the image of her Master in her heart showed signs of collapsing in this instant; she should not be like this.

"Master, then I dare to ask you one thing: are you really imprisoning Sichen in the Lock Demon Tower to uphold justice and for the sake of the common people of the Great Dao?" Liu Lianxin stared at Jingxi Jushi and said word by word.

Jingxi Jushi's expression changed slightly; this sentence from Yu Sichen hit her heart like a heavy hammer.

But immediately, her expression returned to normal, and she shouted: "Are you questioning me?"

"I am not questioning Master, but I feel that what Master is doing is fundamentally wrong." Liu Lianxin suddenly raised her head, staring straight at Jingxi.

"You are indeed questioning me. Lianxin, ever since you returned to Jing, you have changed." Master Jingxi said sternly: "In the past, you never questioned my words. Is it just because she is your friend?"

"It is not just because she is my friend, but because she herself is innocent. Why must you kill them all?" Tears welled up in Liu Lianxin's eyes, and she slowly knelt on the ground: "Master, I beg you, let her go."

"It is useless to beg her. You should see clearly that this Master of yours is herself a person with ulterior motives." A cold voice came over, a figure flashed, and Chen Yu appeared.

"Chen Yu, how did you come here?" Liu Lianxin was startled.

"You took Sichen away, not to save her, but to let your Master lock her in the tower and make her suffer the agony of fire burning her body?" Chen Yu looked at Liu Lianxin, his eyes revealing a trace of disappointment.

"I'm sorry, I thought I could save her." Liu Lianxin's tears gushed out.

Watching her crying like rain on a pear blossom, Chen Yu's heart was slightly shaken, and he felt a vague ache.

Yes, perhaps she really did not know her Master's true face; perhaps she truly wanted to save Yu Sichen, after all, Yu Sichen was also her good friend.

"Chen Yu, you finally came." Jingxi Jushi smiled slightly.

"You know me?" Chen Yu raised his head and stared at Jingxi Jushi.

"Of course I know you. Chen Tianming's grandson, isn't he born with the Purple Star Emperor Fate? If he hadn't forcefully defied the Heavenly Mystery and risked his own crippled body to create you, how could you exist in this world?" Jingxi chuckled.

"You know Chen Tianming? Who are you? What is your relationship with him?" Killing intent suddenly appeared in Chen Yu's eyes; he felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"Want to know?" The face of Jingxi, which originally seemed untainted by worldly concerns, smiled somewhat distortedly: "I am afraid that will not go as you wish. You want to know? Very well, stay under the tower with Yu Sichen, and I will tell you."

"Is that so? I am afraid that won't work." A flash of the sword Lichen appeared in Chen Yu's hand, and the humming Sword Qi crisscrossed in this instant; his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring: "The world only says you are a master of a generation, but I am afraid your little schemes cannot be hidden from me."

"Chen Yu, what little schemes does my Master have?" Liu Lianxin, who was to the side, was slightly stunned.

"This place is where the earth veins converge. The Lock Demon Tower is buried deep underground, receiving the Heavenly Dao from above and connecting to the earth veins below. If someone with intent uses the Fuxi Sixty-four Hexagrams to calculate, this place is a Demon-breaking ground."

"All these years, you have used the slogan of subduing Demons to lock many people under the Lock Demon Tower; is it to extract the demonic nature from their bodies?" Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

"As expected of Chen Tianming's grandson, you can actually see through the mystery within." Jingxi smiled: "That's right, this place is a Jumodi."

"Master, what exactly are you trying to do?" Liu Lianxin also felt that something was wrong; she raised her head and looked at her Master in disbelief. Only now did she realize that Jingxi looked very strange.

"I am going to do a great thing." Jingxi smiled indifferently: "You are my disciple; no matter what decision I make, you should support me with all your might."

"Jingxi, beneath the Lock Demon Tower is a Jumodi. If I am not mistaken, this is an unknown seal. You captured Sichen to extract the Dark Power from her body, right?" Chen Yu said sternly: "What do you want to release?"

"Hehe, what do you think?" Jingxi smiled: "My thoughts are consistent with your grandfather's; it is to rule the world. He spent decades creating you, a person with the Purple Star Emperor Fate, originally thinking that with you, he could dominate one side and be the only one supreme in the world."

"But you have not fully grown up yet, and he can no longer control you. The path I take is different from his, because beneath the Lock Demon Tower is the seal of a certain race. The Jumodi has refined countless demons over these years, and now it is just missing a bit of Dark Power."

"The Dark Power on Yu Sichen happens to be able to make up for the final deficiency. She is a gift bestowed upon me by the heavens."

"Master, you..." Liu Lianxin was stunned; she never imagined that the Master she had always respected and loved, whom she regarded as a high-level expert, would actually have such a heart.

"Lianxin, kill him, and we will have no obstacles." Killing intent surged from Jingxi's body: "You and I, master and disciple, will rule the world in the future, and no one will be able to match us."

"You cultivate the Buddha, Master, you cultivate the Buddha..." Liu Lianxin could not help but cry out: "You taught me that the Buddha cultivates precepts, concentration, and wisdom; with a calm state of mind, without desire or craving, one will not give rise to greed."
