Chapter 540 Notes
When Zeng Heniang said this, her expression was one of righteous indignation.
Wei Xi, however, deeply realized how difficult this person was to deal with.
His ruthlessness goes without saying, but his ability to assess situations is truly astonishing. Seeing that he couldn't stop Wei Xi, he immediately betrayed the sect's interests to save himself.
More importantly, Wei Xi could no longer use this matter to his advantage—knowing the secrets of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was definitely not a good thing.
Even though Zeng Heniang was much older than Wei Xi, the latter couldn't help but feel wary of her.
This kind of person is extremely difficult to deal with, and Wei Xi must be careful in dealing with them.
"If Fellow Daoist Zeng is speaking nonsense, I have no way to verify it. There's no smoke without fire; there should at least be a source for such a statement."
"Speaking of which, Gao Ming should call my master 'Shishu' first." Upon hearing this, Zeng He Niang smiled and said, "This news was naturally told to the disciple by the master, so it cannot be wrong."
“Young Fellow Daoist Wei, I’ve heard about your affairs and know you’re a shrewd person. I was in a hurry today and offended you. Consider this news my apology.”
“Even if you don’t need it, Fellow Daoist Qin will definitely need it. Dieji Mountain is not a good place.”
Wei Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked like a venomous snake spitting its tongue. "You're meddling in other people's business. You haven't gotten rid of your own inner demons. Be careful, or you'll never come back."
"Do you think if I tell Wang Huan about these things, she'll try everything to ruin you?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Zeng He Niang's eyes, but she said nonchalantly, "Whatever. She's a piece of my flesh, why would I be afraid of her?"
Wei Xi forced a sweet, fake smile and retorted, "There are things far more terrifying than inner demons. Fellow Daoist Zeng, take care of yourself!"
The two parted on bad terms, but reached a consensus on keeping it a secret.
Wei Xi was the only one left in the hold, and she slowly began to clean up the mess.
"From the perspective of form, the so-called inner demon is the out-of-control yin and yang energy."
"But this is different from those wandering Yin and Yang energies. Could it be an influence from Dieji Mountain?"
"The Eastern Yi demon chief Yu Xianzhou guards a place called Zhongyuan, and outside Chongxiao City there is Fanshan... Could it be that Dieji Mountain was also once suppressed by a demon chief, and the so-called inner demon is a manifestation of the power of this mysterious demon beast?"
Wei Xi frowned. Thinking about it, there must be a similar abyss in Nanjiang Old Wood's place. It's just that the Everlasting Wood has survived to this day, and the abyss there is still under its control.
"The Heavenly Dao and the Abyss, the demonic beasts and the Abyss, the cultivators and the Abyss... it's all a complete mess!"
"Dieji Mountain has been controlled by the Wanjian Sect for many years. There's no reason why they couldn't do what Zuo Fei could do. In other words, the Wanjian Sect may have organized a large-scale exploration campaign."
"If I go down this time and find the clues left behind by that demon beast, I might gain a better understanding of the Heavenly Dao."
"After all, the decline of the demonic beasts was too rapid and too sudden. To say that it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao is simply a pipe dream!"
The thought of the old man, who was suspected to be the Weaver of Heaven, instigating Zuo Fei to kill the leader of the Eastern Barbarian demons sent a chill down Wei Xi's spine and up to the back of his neck.
"Could it be that the power of the demon beasts was too great at the time, so the Heavenly Dao instructed the Weaver of Heaven to act in this way? I didn't expect the human race to rise even faster, directly causing serious damage to the warp and weft of heaven and earth."
Wei Xi felt that the key to the matter lay hidden in the years when the cultivation world was in disarray. What she needed to do now, besides accumulating strength, was to find a way to gather information and piece together enough clues.
After all, so many people escaped from Deadwater City. If they were found, these living history books would surely reveal the information Wei Xi needed. Wei Xi's thoughts then turned to the Myriad Swords Sect. "No wonder the disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect are all so resolute. Their sect guards against the inner demons caused by excessive emotional fluctuations."
It's hard to say whether this method is effective or not, because the Myriad Swords Sect also has some disciples who fail to form their core each time.
"If the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has already found the remains of that demonic beast..." Wei Xi frowned slightly, thinking, "They shouldn't only know this much."
Wei Xi didn't believe that excessive emotional fluctuations would cause inner demons.
After all, Yu Xianzhou was far more capable, and the great demons under his command were all exceptional talents. A demon leader who was on par with Yu Xianzhou would certainly not be so simple.
"Moreover, judging from Zeng He Niang's situation, the fact that those yin and yang energies could create a 'Wang Xin' shows how evil they are."
"I'll say it again: if it's just a matter of emotional fluctuations, why is Zeng He Niang's inner demon Wang Xin, and there's not a trace of Wang Huan?"
Wei Xi remembers clearly that Zeng He Niang's reaction was quite strong when Wang Huan was mentioned.
No one says you can only have one inner demon. If all else fails, having half Wang Xin and half Wang Huan is scary enough.
Of course, Wei Xi himself still respected and loved his senior brothers and sisters, and had no rebellious thoughts at all; this was just a harmless assumption.
In conclusion, Wei Xi was 90% certain that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had gone astray.
"This is utter nonsense," Wei Xi's face darkened. "The Ten Thousand Swords Sect just let cultivators enter Dieji Mountain without them even knowing what they're doing. If there's a monster like Wei Lu hiding inside, wouldn't that harm so many cultivators?"
"No wonder that for so many years, no cultivator has been able to explain what happened when he formed his core... Look, there's something extraordinary hidden in Dieji Mountain, silently watching the cultivators coming and going all these years."
"If it weren't for the fact that the Everlasting Tree controls the power of memory, I would suspect that it was the one who did this."
Wei Xi reset the still-screaming magical artifact. "According to Zeng He Niang, inner demons can affect a person's Core Formation. But I've never seen anything like that on Qin Feng. Does this mean that Qin Feng doesn't have any inner demons?"
This isn't impossible. Since the Zhenhai Sect's grand competition, Qin Feng's reputation has soared. If one were to inquire carefully, learning about her past wouldn't be difficult.
It's not impossible that Zeng He Niang, not understanding the situation, made up something out of nothing.
However, Wei Xi couldn't be too careful when it came to Qin Feng. She had already decided that she would only look for any clues that might exist in Dieji Mountain after confirming that Qin Feng had formed his core.
Wei Xi quickly cleaned up the bottom of the cabin and, after confirming that the array and magical artifacts were functioning properly, left.
Before she even reached the deck, she ran into Lian Gou Mang, who had come looking for her.
It turned out that the cloud boat had already landed, and the Wanjian Sect urgently summoned disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage from various sects to give a lecture on the precautions for entering Dieji Mountain.
"So soon?" Wei Xi frowned and asked, "Have they made a move in the Western Regions? Didn't they say there was another group of fellow cultivators preparing to launch an attack?"
Lian Gouhan, who was well-informed, replied, "There's no news from over there yet, but it's said that the opening of the Yin-Yang Realm is extremely unstable this time, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect intends to enter in batches."
"Besides, this is not a strange thing. Many cultivators have missed the chance to form their core due to bad luck." Lian Gouyan lowered his voice when he saw that no one was around. "If all else fails, there is Chongxiao City. You know more about these things than I do."
The bus driver didn't know the way, so everyone on the bus got a refund for their high-speed rail tickets and switched to planes. This chapter was written at the airport...
