Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

Chapter 136: Wen Bumian's Suspicion

What followed was a cry of a phoenix in the sky. A huge blue bird circled in the air, spread its wings and caught everyone the moment they jumped onto the cliff, and flew away from the canyon with another long cry.

At the same time, the original silver-white moonlight also returned to sunset at that moment, and only a corner of the fiery red round sun was completely submerged below the horizon, ushering in a real moonlight filling the pond.

It turns out that the celestial phenomena in the formation are all illusions.

They escaped alive.

On top of the Blue Bird, Shen Zhui half-knelt down as he had exhausted his spiritual power due to over-controlling the magic weapon. Mo Yunfan beside him was in the same posture.

Shen Zhui raised his head with some difficulty and thanked everyone, "Thank you all for your help."

"The silver wolf's cultivation is far superior to ours. We only distracted its attention a little, so it can't be said to be rescuing it." Mu Yunzhong replied in a deep voice, but Jiang Tingwan looked nervously at his entire right arm that was covered in blood.

Wen Bumian's face was not very good either, and he said, "Now that I think about it, the demon wolf has been dealing with you for a long time without killing you. It must have discovered that we were lurking up there a long time ago."

Wen Bumian's words made Mu Yunzhong look at him in surprise, and then he continued, "It was not sure it could deal with all of us, so it could only pretend that it didn't find us and deal with you first. But I didn't expect that Yunzhong's sword would anger it instead, making it so angry that it trapped us and kept us."

Wen Bumian’s analysis made everyone’s heart tremble, and they remembered the formation and skills of the wolf demon.

Mo Yunfan, who was pale, also said after surviving the disaster: "Fortunately, Senior Jiang saw the key to the formation, and Junior Brother Mu sacrificed himself to save us, so we were able to escape..."

After saying this, Mo Yunfan's energy was almost exhausted. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

"Junior brother..."

Upon seeing this, Shen Zhui reached out to support him, but he had already fainted.

Only then did everyone see that his back, which was scratched by the one-eyed silver wolf, was already soaked with blood and was even still bleeding.

Seeing this, Wen Bumian immediately stepped forward and began to transfer spiritual power to Mo Yunfan.

"This wolf demon is extremely powerful. His demonic power remains in the wound and is not easy to dissipate, so the bleeding cannot be stopped." Wen Bumian said in embarrassment while casting a spell.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingwan hurried to see Mu Yunzhong who was also injured, "How are you?"

Hearing this, Mu Yun finally slightly turned his body, but it was this movement that caused him unbearable pain.

"It's just a minor injury, disciple is fine..."

"This injury is no small matter, don't try to be brave." With the shocking scene behind Mo Yunfan in front of him, Jiang Tingwan really couldn't feel at ease.

Wen Bumian also reminded: "Yes, if it is not treated in time, it will bleed to death."

When Jiang Tingwan thought about seeing his arm with bones and veins exposed at the bottom of the cliff, his heart twitched. He was so badly injured, but he didn't say a word when he came up from the bottom.

"Master has treated me for a while at the foot of the cliff. The bleeding has stopped and I'm not seriously injured." He stared into Jiang Tingwan's eyes and showed only her the wound that was covered by his torn sleeve. A blue electric current was flowing through the bloody wound, preventing him from bleeding like Mo Yunfan.

"Master, don't worry."

His words seemed like a reminder, bringing Jiang Tingwan back to his senses and he immediately covered it up.

“Even so, we should not be careless.”

Jiang Tingwan met his eyes knowingly. The only explanation why he was better than Mo Yunfan should be the Dustless Pearl in his body and the demonic power he had absorbed.

But now that disciples of the Cang Yu Sect are present, Mu Yun’s lifelong secret will be exposed too easily, and they cannot take the risk.

Wen Bumian, who was recovering from his injuries, noticed their actions. After he realized what was going on, he understood but didn't show any expression.

Shen Zhui also cast his gaze towards Mu Yunzhong, and seeing that his expression was indeed much better than that of his junior brother, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Receiving Shen Zhui's gaze, Jiang Tingwan was worried that he would notice Mu Yunzhong's abnormality, so he stood directly in front of Mu Yunzhong and blocked his wound. This made Mu Yunzhong feel warm in his heart, and even had a sense of security he had never felt before.

Shen Zhui lowered his eyes thoughtfully and looked away.

But Jiang Tingwan didn't give him a chance to think. After remembering the bottle of medicine he had gotten for free before, the Xu Gu Zhen Xin Dan, he immediately took it out from his pocket and asked Shen: "Is this medicine useful to you?"

When Shen Zhui saw the familiar box, he also looked up at her in surprise. It seemed that both they, the master and the disciple, had some secrets. There was a glimmer of green in his gaze.

This familiar gleam in her eyes? It was the same the last time she stared into Qing Lan's eyes. With just one glance, she saw that her cultivation had completely dissipated.

Jiang Tingwan's heart tightened unconsciously. She had good intentions in giving medicine to save people, so wasn't it immoral for him to peep at her at this time? However, she didn't feel anything entering her body, nor did she feel anything unusual. Could it be that she had seen it wrong?

Shen Zhui also replied: "Thank you, senior, this medicine is indeed useful."

He reached out and took the medicine box from Jiang Tingwan's hand. After Wen Bumian finished his practice, he fed it to the unconscious Mo Yunfan.

"What about you?" Jiang Tingwan asked.

Shen Zhui replied: "I am just exhausted and a little tired. I just need to rest for a while."

Seeing that he spoke so easily, Jiang Tingwan stopped worrying about it and was about to ask him about the monster, but he didn't expect that he avoided his sight before he opened his mouth.

He said first: "You all saved my life, so I should repay you. However, I am really exhausted and need to take a rest for a while. Please forgive me."

Although Jiang Tingwan did not ask the question, he got the answer. Just like in the Colosseum, he still refused to answer.

But Wen Bumian seemed to have found a breakthrough and asked, "It is indeed inconvenient for us to ask more about the matter concerning the Cang Yu Sect. But if it is about the attack on other sects, it is a matter for the entire cultivation world."

"I wonder what sect or faction the immortal disciples from the Cang Yu Sect who went out of the city to rescue today are from?"

Wen Bumian looked at Shen Zhui, knowing that he would definitely answer this question.

As expected, Shen Zhui hesitated for a moment and slowly uttered three words: "It's Beihai Gate!"

Jiang Tingwan and Wen Busian were both startled and looked at each other almost at the same time.

It turned out to be Beihai Gate, it was indeed Beihai Gate.

Shen Zhui also continued, "The Beihai Sect disciples who went to Qinghuai City to participate in the trial meeting encountered a group of intelligent monsters outside the city who knew how to cooperate in encirclement and suppression. They knew that Cangnan City was under the jurisdiction of Cangyu Sect, so they risked their lives to send a disciple out for help. My junior brother and I learned the news at the Colosseum and were ordered to come to the rescue. However, we did not expect that we were not only late, but also underestimated the strength of the silver wolf."

At this point, Shen Zhui's eyes dimmed, and a hint of sadness suddenly flashed across them, with a hint of apology and guilt in his tone. More than a dozen disciples who came out with him were buried in the canyon, and he, as the eldest senior brother, could not escape the blame.

"Is it just an attack by monsters?" Wen Bumian wanted to ask something else, but Jiang Tingwan realized what he was thinking and subconsciously looked up at Mu Yunzhong beside him.

Shen Zhui raised his eyes and asked, "Master Wen, do you think there is something else going on?"

Shen Zhui was also a sharp-minded person. He understood the hidden meaning behind Wen Bumian's words with just two simple sentences.

Wen Bumian smiled softly and shook his head. "I am just speculating. Judging from our fight with the one-eyed silver wolf just now, he can not only command the wolves, but also set up a formation to trap us. It is obvious that he is not a simple monster. His intelligence is already close to that of ordinary people. The little wolf monsters under him even know how to swallow the golden elixir of monks alive to enhance their own cultivation. I just have some doubts that this is not a simple ambush."

"What does Master Wen mean?" The person being questioned becomes the one asking the question.

Wen Bumian was also happy to be the one who gave the answer, because his words were not only an answer to Shen Zhui, but also a reminder to Jiang Tingwan.

"The trial meeting of the Hundred Immortal Sects is about to be held. Cangnan City is the only way for people from Huaibei Continent to Qinghuai City. There must be many disciples from the Immortal Sect passing through here in the next few days. Not only did they not fear and avoid it, but they appeared here and attacked the disciples of the Immortal Sect. It seems like they did it on purpose."

Wen Bumian frowned slightly, and his tone revealed a hint of deep thought.

Jiang Tingwan didn't say anything, but she had anticipated the result of Wen Bumian's speculation in advance. She followed Wen Bumian's gaze and saw Mu Yunzhong, who had never spoken. She was shocked. According to the progress in the book, his and Qinglan's plan should indeed begin. What's more, she had just seen the white fox demon with her own eyes in the canyon.

But can Mu Yun still make the same decision as in the original plot?

Or has this identity that he has believed in for more than ten years become a shackle that he cannot easily remove?

Wen Bumian continued to speculate, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes. He whispered, "Combined with the rumors about the monsters that Cangyu Sect brought back from outside the city, I believe that every sect that came to Cangnan City would be curious about this matter. In this way, they are likely to take the initiative to search for traces of monsters outside the city. And if they encounter a monster like the one-eyed silver wolf today, I am afraid the result will be the same as that of Beihai Sect."

Shen Zhui's eyes also became serious. "Senior, do you suspect that someone is using monsters to ambush the disciples of the major immortal sects?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of several people met instantly, and even Shen Zhui was shocked by what he said.
