One sword cheat

Chapter 84 Hu Yuxian is also here!

Hu Yuxian was not lying; she knew how badly she had been injured.

After being severely injured by a zombie, she could have quickly returned to the city for treatment, but she encountered bandits on the way, which delayed her for a long time.

Unable to suppress the corpse poison with her spiritual power, she witnessed firsthand how the originally non-lethal toxin continued to invade her internal organs and, with the blood, into her brain.

Only when they were in a semi-conscious state and beyond saving did the bandits let them go.

Mountain bandits? Ha! What mountain bandits would dare to ambush and kill the Hu family? It's just that the second branch of the family doesn't want to see themselves alive.

But they probably never imagined that their extraordinary talent would allow them to suppress the toxins from fully entering their brains, preserving a sliver of life and holding out until they were rescued.

She was very grateful to that disciple from Shangqing Palace. Everyone knew how fierce the internal struggles within the Hu family were, and anyone who dared to get involved had to be prepared to die.

But... the disciples of Shangqing Palace truly lived up to their name. They were not afraid of powerful figures, disregarded life and death, and only held fast to the righteous thoughts in their hearts, managing to save their own lives.

So, to repay her kindness, she sold some of her valuables and raised ten million to extend Zhang Yunqing's life.

The light in Hu Yuxian's eyes made Liu Quji's heart skip a beat.

Back then, when his daughter insisted on following Huang Mao, she also shone with this light, but unfortunately, his daughter did not survive his death.

He treated Hu Yuxian like his own daughter.

"You've suffered, but from now on I'll be by your side, and their second pulse won't be able to touch you."

Liu Quji's voice was calm and steady. Although he was only at the third level of the Innate Realm and his cultivation seemed low, most cultivators at the ninth level of the third realm did not dare to underestimate him.

"However, you mentioned the disciples of Shangqing Palace, and coincidentally, one of them is also coming to see me today."

Liu Quji said with a smile, "It's really fate that he wants to come to me to learn the Undying Demon Body."

"Disciples of Shangqing Palace?"

Hu Yuxian had originally planned to get up and take her leave, but upon hearing this, she didn't want to leave and wanted to see which disciple from Shangqing Palace it was.

When she was researching the information, she learned that there were not many disciples in Shangqing Palace.

Could it be that Chen Ren is coming? But if Chen Ren were coming, he would definitely send me a message... right?

Moreover, his family is not well-off and probably cannot afford the Undying Demon Body; he is likely just some Wang family member, Wang something-or-other immortal.

She had a guess in her mind, but she still hoped, she hoped it was him.

Speak of the devil, and he appears; not long after the two finished speaking, Liu Quji heard complaints coming from outside:

"If I went through the Qian Gate, I wouldn't have to take such a long detour. It's so annoying."

The sound was faint and indistinct; only Liu Quji heard it. His lips tightened as he recalled that he had also been stopped back then.

However, he disdained to lower himself to the level of a junior and flew straight in.

This voice had been full of complaints the whole way, sometimes criticizing the Hu family, sometimes complaining about the inadequate after-sales service, and sometimes cursing, "Martial arts are really not something humans can cultivate."

The chanting continued for seven or eight minutes, then abruptly stopped when they were about a hundred or two meters outside the courtyard.

A few breaths later, a respectful voice came from outside the door:

"Chen Ren, a disciple of Shangqing Palace, has come to pay his respects to his master."

Chen Ren!

Hu Yuxian's eyes lit up immediately. She had wanted to find him for a long time, but the family was too dangerous, and going out might endanger her life.

Her phone was being monitored by the Second Pulse, preventing her from even having a proper chat.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ren came by himself, and even wanted to learn the Undying Demon Body from Uncle Liu.

Doesn't that mean it will take several days to learn?

"Is it really him?"

Liu Quji felt somewhat surprised; it was too much of a coincidence.

His years of experience told him there was a conspiracy, but the next second he remembered that the other party was from the Shangqing Palace.

I'm probably overthinking it.

He waved his hand, and the door opened by itself.

"Young master! You've arrived!"

The first thing Chen Ren saw was not his teacher, but Hu Yuxian's white breasts and her bright, flirtatious eyes.

It's been quite hot in the ancient world lately, since it's summer and everyone is wearing less clothing.

"You... what are you doing here?"

He felt surprised and astonished, and at the same time somewhat helpless.

He deliberately didn't send a message to Hu Yuxian to avoid getting involved with her complicated forces.

I plan to secretly learn the Undying Demon Body and then leave. I'll wait until I reach the Qi Refining Realm and have the power to protect myself before making any further moves.

But now it seems there's no escaping it.

"What a coincidence, the teacher you're looking for is my uncle."

Hu Yuxian gave a brief introduction to Liu Quji, which greatly surprised Chen Ren.

It seems that there is a karmic connection between him and Hu Yuxian that led him to meet Liu Quji.

Cause and effect is a very special thing. In the ancient realm, cause and effect, karma, calamity, and so on are all amplified.

They have created countless intricate relationships between all living things, both living and dead.

However, karmic force and the force of calamity are not the only criteria for recognizing danger.

Chen Ren later investigated further and discovered that even if the calamity energy and karma were insufficient to cause death, they could still cause someone to die.

Some say it was the God of Longevity who exerted his power from behind.

Some people say that cause and effect are interfering, otherwise it cannot be explained.

"Student Chen Ren greets teacher."

After a brief conversation, he promptly paid the money.

Hu Yuxian didn't want him to pay her; she wanted Liu Quji to teach her for free.

But Liu Quji told her that it wasn't up to her to decide; the money was to be distributed to her superiors.

"Young man, my immortal demonic body comes from the Liu family, passed down from the time of the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. There is no room for compromise. I hope you understand."

He rarely offered an explanation, but Chen Ren didn't find anything wrong with it at all. Instead, he joked, "I can only study with peace of mind after I pay you. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't teach me everything, teacher."

"Hehe, as a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, I still have that much credibility."

Liu Quji was starting to admire this kid; no wonder Zhang Yunqing had taken a liking to him.

After making the vow, he slowly activated his martial will.

Chen Ren was very lucky; he encountered two masters of cultivation techniques in succession, and he immediately got into a serious state of mind.

Hu Yuxian wasn't a martial arts practitioner, so she couldn't learn, but she didn't leave; she stayed and watched.

The whole world suddenly went dark.

This martial will is a bit frightening. Chen Ren's blood and qi were activated almost instantly, condensing into the totem of the True Ancestor above his head, which made Liu Quji glance at him unexpectedly.

Clearly, he was just as shocked as Teacher Feng Jinghu.

Chen Ren felt a little smug, but he quickly adjusted his state and began to comprehend this precious martial arts will.

But why is it pitch black? Even though the Undying Demon Body has the word "demon" in its name, there's no need for it to be this dark, isn't there?

"Hey kid, what are you doing with your head down?"

Just then, he heard Liu Quji's voice: "Look up."

look up?

Chen Ren subconsciously raised his head, and in the next instant, he felt a tremor that went deep into his soul.

This martial will is not pitch black, but... he... stands in the shadows!
