Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 121: Didn’t you always want to tell me something?

"Who is this?" Han Qixi asked the stranger in front of him.

Zhong Siyao and Wen Qi looked at each other and laughed, "What? You don't recognize me?"

Han Qixi still looked confused, but her voice was very familiar to him. "Are you?"

Zhong Siyao had no choice but to activate the magic weapon that could change a person's appearance. "This is the Colorful Butterfly Ring, which can change a person's appearance and clothing!"

"It's really you, Zhong Siyao! You hid it so well!"

"I have my own reasons too!!"

"But since you all know it, there is no need for me to hide my identity any longer. I can show my true face directly."

She was wearing a peach pink off-shoulder short skirt decorated with red unknown flowers and a white lotus-shaped skirt. Her dark hair was tied up and fixed with a pink hairpin, and there were pink and white decorations on both sides of her hair. Her already fair skin was made even more charming by this outfit.

"You just said that all the people in Tianyuan City were...you..."

"She is not my mother, she is just a stranger to me!"

"Ahem, sorry, I'm just a little confused. How could such a big city like Tianyuan City be destroyed by her?" Wen Qi asked.

"Now that you put it that way, it seems like there are some real doubts!"

"But I was also there when the people of Tianyuan City were killed!"

"Could it be that there are other people present, but you just can't see them?"

"Demon Tribe!!"

"I remember the scene at that time... She opened a magic circle and killed everyone in the city. I was in a corner outside the city and didn't dare to say a word. And she just said that she was in league with the demons..."

"Zhong Siyao, you still refuse to tell the truth?" Wen Qi interrupted her directly, with a slightly angry expression.

After her thoughts were revealed, Zhong Siyao pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly, "There were indeed people from the demon clan present at the time, and I also know that she has always had dealings with the demon clan, but I don't know why she killed everyone in the city!"

"It's not certain that we will guess right now if we make random guesses. It's better for us to conserve our energy and wait for news from Senior Sister before making a decision." Han Qixi said.

"But since she has dealings with the demons, the demons must have been involved in killing the people of Tianyuan City. And I have a feeling that it's impossible for them to just kill them!"

Zhong Siyao and Wen Qi shrugged and said in unison, "I'll listen to you!"

Everything seemed peaceful in Cangyun City, with no signs of fighting;

In a teahouse called Shijian, several unknown guests were discussing Cangyun City, and on the second floor of the teahouse sat a handsome young man.

"Have you heard? Several other cities in Beiyao Continent have fallen."

A male guest looked around and said in a low voice, "More than just fallen! I heard that he was killed by a female monk!"

"You are the only one who talks nonsense! Some time ago, those cities were occupied by the demon tribe..."

"What you said is wrong. I heard that the entire Beiyao Continent is under the control of the demons!"

One of the sturdy men stepped on a stool and yelled, "What are you yelling about? What are you afraid of?"

"Except for Cangyun City, the rest of the cities in Beiyao Continent have been occupied by the demons. There are no demons at all!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him. Another handsome but scoundrel-looking man walked up to him and said drunkenly, "I heard that the people in those cities were killed by a female monk. There is no such thing as a monster!"

"Isn't this person Tian Yu, the son of the Tian family from the Tian Mansion in Cangyun City?"

"Look at him, can he take what he says seriously? He has a belly full of wine!"

"Don't tell me, the people in other cities were killed by a female monk!"

"Many people have spread the word. I heard that the female monk is a stunning beauty."

"This female monk is dressed in a blue and white long dress. Her slender waist is so attractive!"

A man upstairs heard this description and gave a fierce look, and everything on the first floor was shattered to pieces. Those who reacted were frightened out of their wits and ran out of the teahouse screaming.

At the same time, a female cultivator walked in at the door of the teahouse. She was Mu Huayan, who had changed her appearance and dress. Seeing that the surroundings were very messy and there was a hint of spiritual power floating around, she raised her eyes and glanced towards the second floor, but the man on the second floor had already left, and the female cultivator did not detect his breath.

"Was it you just now? Duan Qiuran!"

After she finished thinking to herself, she walked towards the second floor. Since there was no one there, she couldn't get any useful information. And judging from the breath of that person just now, she was sure it was definitely Duan Qiuran.

So he followed the breath just now and searched for his trace all the way, "Where is this place? Why is he here?"

Mu Huayan looked at the yellow autumn trees and thought, but there was also the scent of Duan Qiuran left here, but it was cut off here.

"There is no aura of any magic circle or barrier, so why did he disappear without a trace?!"

The fallen leaves on the ground made a crackling sound when I stepped on them. I continued walking further into the forest, which seemed to have no end in sight.

"Cangyun City is not in danger at all as Gu Lan said, but Master has explained that the man before was not Gu Lan himself!"

"But there are indeed traces and auras of fighting with the demons!"

As he was walking, he noticed a leaf falling from his head carrying a familiar scent. "The scent is hidden so well, Duan Qiuran, what tricks are you playing!"

After he finished muttering, she vaguely felt something was wrong. He deliberately left his scent for her along the way. It was obviously not his style. If it were in the past, he would have stuck to her long ago.

"Why did you lead me all the way here, sir?!" Mu Huayan summoned the Qingli Phoenix Hairpin and looked around vigilantly.

"Of course I lured you here to kill you!"

Mu Huayan was very surprised and shocked when she heard this, "This voice is Duan Qiuran! Impossible!"

After sensing a certain aura, he turned around and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Who are you!!"

But the person in front of him was Duan Qiuran. He did not use any facial transformation technique, nor did he use any magic weapon to change his appearance!

The man had a blank expression on his face and a hollow look in his eyes. "I don't know who I am. I was just ordered to kill the cultivators who broke into Cangyun City!"

But he was obviously hesitant when he said the last sentence.

In order to test his true identity again, Mu Huayan deliberately removed the magic weapon that changed her appearance, revealing her true face. Unexpectedly, the person in front of her began to have a splitting headache, his lips half open as if he wanted to say something but felt unable to say it.

A voice kept echoing in his mind, "Kill her, kill her!!..." It became louder and louder.

He struggled in pain, his eyes fixed on Mu Huayan, "You, it's me..."

Suddenly, his mind felt as if it was burning and he felt extreme pain in his body. However, he still retained a trace of rationality at this moment. The sword in his hand stabbed towards her rapidly. Mu Huayan thought he would really stab her, but he turned around and stabbed the sword into his own chest.

"Duan Qiuran!!" Fortunately, Mu Huayan's shout made him stop what he was doing.

Now he was absolutely sure that he was Duan Qiuran, so he thought of what happened to Wen Qi and the others in the Sunset Forest, "Soul Controlling Technique? How was this stupid ass controlled?!"

Mu Huayan was speechless and worried. After all, he was an immortal king in the Golden Realm. His current appearance was really a disgrace to the cultivator clan...

"But this soul-controlling technique is indeed very powerful. Even an Immortal King could be controlled if one is not careful!"

"Soul control is mainly about digging out the most vulnerable side of a person, or the person they want to see the most..."

After finishing this analysis, Mu Huayan sighed and finally understood what was going on.

Mu Huayan walked back and forth, thinking, "Fortunately, your realm is high and the soul control technique can't cause you much damage, but it will be difficult to wake you up..."

Mu Huayan suddenly thought of what he hadn't said before, so she asked tentatively, "Duan Qiuran, don't you have something to say to me?"

"I, Mu Huayan, am standing here now. It's up to you whether you want to speak or not!"

After saying that, Mu Huayan put away the magic weapon in her hand, took out a bag of fairy fruits from her ring and started eating them in front of him.

This trick really worked. He walked towards her tremblingly and began to mutter something, "Sister Yan'er, I, I want to..."

Before he could finish, his mind was controlled by someone again, and the pain made him scream, "I, I can't fall down like this, I still have something to say to her!!"

"Damn it! Kill her for me!" The person who controlled his soul couldn't help but get furious, and also started to get anxious.

Duan Qiuran tried hard to keep himself awake. He supported himself with his right palm. The moment he released his spiritual power, the ground almost cracked. "Get out! Get out of my mind!!"

After shouting loudly, the person who was controlling his soul was injured as the spiritual power fluctuated, and the soul-controlling technique was easily solved.

But he also suffered internal injuries. A fishy-sweet liquid flowed out of his throat, and the autumn yellow leaves on the ground were instantly stained with red blood.

After staggering to his feet, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stumbled towards Mu Huayan. When he looked at her, he saw double in his eyes, "Sister Yan'er..."

Then he fell unconscious. Mu Huayan supported him and sat down beside him to heal his wounds. When his spiritual power was released, the surrounding butterflies and birds were attracted and surrounded the two of them.
