Lu Yang led the elders and disciples of Ninth Peak back to their peak.
To this time, they were still bewildered!
Almost everyone in the Jiuyan Sect had been implanted with a demonic seed by the Demonic Path?
They had been too obsessed with justice and had already developed inner demons because of Jiang Chen?
How could such talk sound so nonsensical?
But these were the words of the Old Ancestor. How could they question them?
Would the Old Ancestor deceive them? No, that’s impossible!
That was the Old Ancestor of Jiuyan, a paragon of righteousness and the pinnacle of power in the Central Domain!
What sense would there be in deceiving his own sect’s disciples?
It couldn’t just be because he was favoring Jiang Chen, so he told such an outrageous lie, could it?Even if that were the case, it still didn’t make sense.
After all, Jiang Chen had been punished many times, and the Old Ancestor had never emerged from his coffin to protect him.
Why wait until Xiao Hongyi and others had gone mad one after another before taking action?
If one were to analyze this carefully, there was indeed reason and evidence!
“Great Elder, does the Old Ancestor mean that we have been implanted with demonic seeds but only show signs of madness without a full outbreak? And that the Peak Master and the three true disciples are the ones whose demonic seeds have erupted, and they have gone completely mad?” another elder speculated.
“That’s probably the case,”
Lu Yang nodded. “Even Li Fadu and the Sect Master have personally admitted their madness. Our cultivation and mental fortitude are not as strong as those two, so it’s likely correct.”
“Alas!” another elder sighed deeply.
“I already guessed that the true disciples of Ninth Peak going mad one after another must be related to Jiang Chen!”
“Be careful with your words! Such talk will only worsen your madness! Now, everyone is saying that all of us from Ninth Peak are lunatics. We can’t defend ourselves, so we must not all completely go mad!” Lu Yang hastily interjected.
Hearing this, the elders and disciples all nodded in agreement.
“What should we do if Jiang Chen continues to do evil?” another elder asked.
“Didn’t the Old Ancestor say? Enlighten and reform him!” Lu Yang replied instantly.
“How do we enlighten and reform him? Great Elder, please elaborate.”
“Uh… I’m not quite sure myself.”
Everyone fell silent, deep in thought.
They weren’t the only ones without a clue. The other peaks were probably just as confused.
This was not their fault.
After all, the Jiuyan Sect had always insisted on strict punishment for wrongdoings, and enlightenment and reformation were generally the practice of Buddhist Sects.
“Let’s go see the Peak Master first. She is the pillar of Ninth Peak. We can’t let anything happen to her.” Eventually, Lu Yang changed the subject.
No one objected, and they all proceeded together.
Shortly after, they arrived at the Peak Master’s pavilion and heard a series of voices from inside.
“The posture is wrong, it’s not effective!”
“You two women, get on the bed, and you stupid tiger, get down!”
“Yes, that’s right, put some strength into it!”
“That’s too much strength, be gentle! I’m about to fall apart!”
“Right, just like that, keep a rhythm, take it slow and don’t rush.”
“No, slower, the master is about to wake up!”
Hearing this, Lu Yang and the others were struck as if by lightning!
They couldn’t imagine what was happening inside the Peak Master’s pavilion that would make Jiang Chen say such things!
“Great Elder, what should we do…?” an elder asked anxiously, hopping from foot to foot.
If they went in now and saw something they shouldn’t, wouldn’t they have to gouge out their own eyes?
But with Jiang Chen about to wake Xiao Hongyi, how could they stand by and do nothing?
Seeing Lu Yang red-faced with anger while puffing his cheeks and glaring, another elder advised, “Great Elder, stay calm! Otherwise, the demonic seed will take deeper root, and you’ll become the fifth person to go completely mad!”
“Yes, Great Elder,” another elder chimed in. “Enlightenment, remember? We must enlighten Jiang Chen, or else we’ll fall into the Demonic Path’s trap!”
“Enlighten? I’ll enlighten him with a fart!”
Lu Yang exploded with rage, swearing to the heavens, “Even if I go completely mad today, I will save the Peak Master from danger! No one can stop me!”
With that, he closed his eyes and, seeing nothing, charged into the Peak Master’s pavilion while shouting, “Jiang Chen!! You are outrageously audacious, shamelessly lascivious! You’re doing the things I’m too embarrassed to even speak of!”
The response was a deathly silence.
After a long while, Jiang Chen’s voice finally rang out, “Great Elder, let’s set our grievances aside for now. Come over here and help me!”
Help you?
You want help doing wicked things? Ridiculous!
Lu Yang was even more furious.
Under normal circumstances, he would have stormed off to find the Hall of Enforcement.
But now…
The Hall of Enforcement was under Jiang Chen’s control!
“Open your eyes first, then we’ll talk,” Jiang Chen said again.
“I won’t, I won’t.”
Lu Yang shook his head like a rattle-drum, insisting on propriety above all else.
“Xiaobai, go eat him if he won’t open his eyes!” Jiang Chen’s voice rose again.
“Okay!” Xiaobai responded excitedly.
Lu Yang hurriedly opened his eyes.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of being eaten, but he sensed something was amiss.
If Jiang Chen was really up to no good, he would have sent him away immediately, so why ask him to open his eyes?
But when he looked… He was even more furious! The scene before him was indeed different from what he had expected.
Jiang Chen and the others were dressed normally, but…
“Jiang Chen!! How dare you lie on top of the Peak Master? You… I…” Lu Yang was so angry he couldn’t speak clearly.
Hearing this, the other elders also rushed in.
And then, they were stunned!
Incredulous!
At that moment, there were four people on Xiao Hongyi’s bed.
Jiang Chen was lying on top of her, while Jiang Lianyue and Qingning sat on either side of Jiang Chen, drenched in sweat!
At this moment, the elders and disciples had only one thought.
Enlightenment? To hell with enlightenment! Enlightenment was something those bald monks from the Buddhist temples liked to do, but at this moment, they only wanted to liberate Jiang Chen from this world!
The crowd was furious and ready to take action.
“Crack—”
The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed.
“Ah!”
Jiang Chen cried out in pain, helplessly saying, “Master, if you use any more strength, I really won’t be able to take it!”
Lu Yang and the others were full of question marks.
“Let’s calm down observe carefully what’s going on first.”
Sensing something was off again, Lu Yang suppressed his anger and whispered, “We might be under the influence of the demonic seed and unable to control our emotions!”
His words made the other elders and disciples nod in agreement.
After taking a deep breath, they began to observe carefully.
Soon, they all understood.
It was a misunderstanding!
It wasn’t that Jiang Chen had intended it, but Xiao Hongyi had changed to a lying position and was still clinging to Jiang Chen like an octopus!
And the reason Jiang Lianyue and Qingning were so exhausted was that they were trying to help Jiang Chen get free!
But as soon as the two women made a move, Xiao Hongyi would use her cultivation to hold Jiang Chen even tighter, as if afraid someone would snatch him away!
“…The Old Ancestor did not deceive me!”
Lu Yang sighed with relief, “Such a terrifying demonic seed is capable of blinding our eyes!”
“Demonic seed? What demonic seed?” Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.
Lu Yang and the others remained silent.
After the Old Ancestor finished his sermon, he had strictly instructed them not to let Jiang Chen know about this matter.
The reason is quite simple.
Currently, Jiang Chen is the key to eradicating the demonic seed.
What if he feels the pressure is too much after learning about this and decides to run away?
Therefore, they must keep silent!
To ensure secrecy, Jiuyan Old Ancestor not only placed a seal of silence on everyone but even erased the memories of Jiang Chen’s followers like Liu Wen and Liu Wu!
The efforts to keep this secret are watertight!
At this moment, Jiang Chen himself is not in the mood to pay attention to these matters, only shouting, “Come and help me, at least help me change my position, this posture is really… really torturous!”
He had thought that Lu Yang and the others would surely come to his aid.
After all, in the eyes of the people of the Ninth Peak, Xiao Hongyi was like a reborn parent to them.
How could they let him suffer like this?
But unexpectedly…
“Jiang Chen, if you’re tired, get some water.”
After dropping this line, Lu Yang turned his head and left with a group of elders and disciples.
A few steps later, he even asked his companions, “How was my handiwork?”
Stealing a glance at Jiang Chen, an elder gave a thumbs up: “Great Elder, your shocking words had an extraordinary effect! Jiang Chen is completely dumbfounded!”
“Good, you all should learn from this,” Lu Yang said with a proud smile.
“Alright! I’ll make him eat more spiritual fruits next time!”
After Lu Yang and the others left, various Peak Masters, true disciples, and the twelve Supreme Elders came one after another to confirm what the Jiuyan Old Ancestor had said.
Like Lu Yang and his group, they were initially furious.
But after suppressing their emotions and observing seriously, they soon exclaimed, “This demonic seed is terrifying!”
Then, after uttering some unfathomably mysterious words, they all left!
Especially Supreme Great Elder Xiao Ting.
At first, he was so angry he nearly lost his reason, but after understanding the situation, he even said, “Jiang Chen, take care of your health!”
And then he left too!
“It’s over! Everyone in the Jiuyan Sect has gone mad!” Jiang Chen was in utter despair.
