#260 - The inner demon bites back
Boom!
The aura emanating from Ling Yue's body was extremely terrifying.
Even though Martial Spirit Old Ancestor and a dozen other Saint Realm Old Ancestors took action immediately, constructing a defense with Saint Realm laws, they were still shaken back repeatedly, grunting and spilling blood from the corners of their mouths.
At this critical moment.
Su Chen, as if he had foreseen it, grabbed Zi Xuan's slender waist a split second before Ling Yue lost control, pulling her and Qing Ling back in a series of rapid retreats, hiding behind Martial Spirit Old Ancestor and the others.
Otherwise, Zi Xuan, who was closest to Ling Yue, would have been severely injured by this terrifying power!
"This power aura… Saint Realm… Ninth Level!?
Martial Spirit Old Ancestor and the others all revealed horrified expressions, their hearts shaking violently!
Because Ling Yue's cultivation was actually at the peak of the Saint Realm Ninth Level, only one step away from the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
But… how is this possible!?
When Ling Yue went into seclusion decades ago, she was only at the Ninth Level of the Monarch Realm!
How could she directly cross such a large realm in just a few decades?
"Could it be… this is the fortune she obtained in the ancient Great Emperor's tomb?
Martial Spirit Old Ancestor and the others thought of a possibility, and their hearts shook again.
"No, don't--"
Ling Yue clutched her head with both hands, as if she was experiencing a nightmare, letting out helpless and broken roars.
Martial Spirit Old Ancestor and the other dozen Saint Realm Old Ancestors working together could only barely withstand the terrifying power that was out of control on her body, unable to give her more help.
"Master…"
Zi Xuan's heart trembled, seeing Ling Yue's painful appearance, her heart also felt like it was being twisted.
When she was still young, she had personally witnessed hundreds of disciples, stewards, and elders of Xuan Peak being devoured by great terror and great strangeness, and the pain she endured in her heart was not low.
"Master, please wake up, the things back then were not your fault…"
Zi Xuan kept calling out, trying to awaken Ling Yue.
But obviously, it didn't have much effect.
Boom--
Just then, an elderly man with white hair stepped through the air, waving his hand, and a divination plate lit up with countless mysterious and sacred runes, like countless stars twinkling, arranged and combined, containing some great Dao principle.
Under the shroud of countless runes, the blood light in Ling Yue's eyes gradually faded, and the out-of-control magic power on her body also gradually converged.
She gasped for breath, her whole body was covered in cold sweat, and her body trembled slightly.
After a while, she recovered as before, stood up, bowed deeply towards the white-haired old man, and said: "Thank you, Ancestor Master, for your help."
The white-haired old man frowned, took a deep look at Ling Yue, and said: "You have fused with a power that does not belong to you.
Although you have the cultivation of the Saint Realm Ninth Level, your inner demons are very serious, and there is a risk of losing control at any time."
"If the inner demons are not calmed, you will sooner or later fall into madness."
Ling Yue's voice was low and hoarse: "I know, this is all my own choice."
The white-haired old man sighed softly and said, "The deceased are gone, let bygones be bygones."
"If they have spirits in heaven, they would not want you to spend your life in such a muddleheaded way."
"Why bother?"
Ling Yue was silent for a long time, shook her head slightly, and said nothing.
Seeing this, the white-haired old man did not try to persuade her.
He took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Ling Yue, saying: "You should carry this Soul-Suppressing Jade Talisman with you, it can solidify the origin, ward off evil spirits, and suppress inner demons in the short term."
"Thank you, Ancestor Master."
Ling Yue did not refuse and took the jade pendant.
The white-haired old man patted Ling Yue on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then left.
"I made you all laugh."
Ling Yue smiled bitterly and looked at everyone.
"It's good that you're okay.
Ancestor Master is right, everything must look forward."
"Our Cangxuan Holy Land will always stand behind you."
Martial Spirit Old Ancestor and the others spoke to encourage her.
To this, Ling Yue just nodded silently.
"Alas… how easy is it to get out of the inner demons."
"Let her calm down first."
Seeing this, Martial Spirit Old Ancestor and the others sighed in their hearts and did not stay here, leaving one after another.
Only Zi Xuan and Luo Qianqian, Xia Qiuyue, and other Xuan Peak disciples remained in place.
"Master, they are the disciples who have joined Xuan Peak in recent years."
"I accepted them as disciples on your behalf, you… don't mind, right?"
Zi Xuan looked into Ling Yue's eyes and asked cautiously.
Xuan Peak disciples…
Ling Yue's heart trembled again.
But on the surface, she remained calm, just shaking her head gently, and said: "It doesn't matter, you have done well."
"Over the years, Master has left you alone to take care of Xuan Peak, ignoring you and not fulfilling the responsibility of being a master… Master has been derelict in her duty, Master is sorry for you."
Ling Yue touched Zi Xuan's head, sighed a long sigh, and felt guilty in her heart.
"It's okay, I'm very happy to be able to help Master."
Zi Xuan said quickly.
Zi Xuan's body was tall and plump, and her face was mature and elegant, while Ling Yue looked like an eighteen-year-old girl.
This scene at this moment really had a sense of contrast.
"Master, this is Luo Qianqian, the first disciple I accepted on your behalf…"
"This is Su Chen…"
Zi Xuan introduced Luo Qianqian and Su Chen to Ling Yue, and roughly reported the things that had happened on Xuan Peak in recent years to Ling Yue.
In fact, Xuan Peak has been very peaceful for the past few decades, with nothing happening.
It wasn't until Su Chen joined Xuan Peak that many disturbances occurred afterward.
After hearing that Su Chen had quickly cleared the Hundred Refinements Tower, and had overturned the Tang family and the Lingtian lineage with his own strength, as well as many other deeds, even Ling Yue, with her calm and peaceful state of mind, was stirred up at this moment.
She took a deep look at Su Chen, firmly remembering Su Chen in her mind.
There's no way.
No matter who it is, making so many earth-shattering events, it's hard not to remember him.
"They are all good seedlings… With you here, Xuan Peak will have hope in the future."
Ling Yue looked at Zi Xuan, Su Chen, and the others, her face softened a lot, and her mood improved slightly.
"Has Senior Brother's bloodline descendant returned to the Yun family…"
Hearing that Yun Tianxing's descendant, Yun Qianxue, had returned to the Yun family, Ling Yue was slightly stunned, recalling Yun Tianxing's face in her mind, and then felt another pain in her heart.
