He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 731 The Demonic Energy on He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said softly to Qingyi, "Elder Qingyi, in my opinion, our most urgent task now is to go to the Tiger Sect as soon as possible and send back Sect Master Qiu's body. What do you think?"

Qingyi slowly raised his head, looking at He Yuzhu with a somewhat empty gaze, his voice slightly tired and helpless: "Sect Master, you are aware of the complicated relationship between me and the Tiger Sect."

He Yuzhu gently patted Qingyi's shoulder, trying to calm him down. He said, "Elder Qingyi, not many people know about your past with the Fierce Tiger Sect. Think about it, those elders of the Fierce Tiger Sect who knew the inside story have all tragically perished. Only a few young people remain. What can they say? How could they possibly know the hidden truth?"

After hearing this, Qingyi pondered for a moment and felt that what He Yuzhu said was indeed reasonable. He nodded slowly and said, "Okay, in that case, let's wait here for Senior Brother for a day. After all, Senior Brother is still fighting hard in that extremely dangerous place. We can't just leave rashly. We need to wait here for a while. What do you think of this arrangement?"

Gu Nan listened to their conversation quietly and felt that Qingyi's words were very appropriate, so he nodded and said sincerely: "Elder Qingyi, don't worry, I will be here with you and wait together."

Elder Qingyi simply nodded slightly, responding to Gu Nan, and then fell silent, saying nothing more. At this moment, he was filled with mixed emotions: grief over Sect Master Qiu's passing and anxiety about the future.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu knew it was pointless to talk any more, so he decided to rest for a while. After all, the situation was changing rapidly, and no one knew what would happen next. He found a relatively quiet place and sat cross-legged. As soon as he calmed down, He Yuzhu felt a subtle change in his magical power. This change was quite strange, as if a new power was slowly surging within him.

With a hint of curiosity and doubt, He Yuzhu decided to take advantage of this break to cultivate diligently, attempting to uncover the cause of this change. However, he was unaware that a strange black aura had suddenly appeared within him. Like a hidden ghost, this black aura quietly lurked within his meridians. As he cultivated, it gradually merged with his magical power. He Yuzhu remained oblivious to this, remaining completely immersed in his practice.

Qingyi was about to speak, but swallowed his words back. He knew that while this battle with someone far superior to him might seem like a heavy blow to He Yuzhu, from another perspective, it was also a rare opportunity. It was like a phoenix rising from its ashes; if it could survive, it would surely undergo a transformation. He turned to look at the eldest, second, and third brothers, and said solemnly, "You will protect the Sect Master. I need to rest."

Although Qingyi didn't say it out loud, he knew deep down that he'd been injured in the previous battle. He endured the pain, using his sect's unique secret technique. He chanted a few words, quickly forming hand seals with his hands. Mystical rays of light emanated from his fingertips, slowly sealing Qiu Feng. After completing this, he found a quiet place, closed his eyes, and began to heal his wounds.

Time flew by, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, He Yuzhu immersed himself in the integration of his previous insights. Like a dry sponge, he desperately absorbed knowledge and power, integrating these ideas bit by bit into his own cultivation system. This period of immersion had significantly increased his strength, and combined with his previous experience, he was unmatched among the younger generation. Even the third brother and his companions now felt the gap in front of He Yuzhu, and were no match for him. However, He Yuzhu himself had not yet fully realized his current strength, after all, he had never truly tested this new power.

At this moment, He Yuzhu's aura became even more unique. Standing there, he possessed the otherworldly indifference of a master, yet at the same time, he inadvertently revealed a simple, unpredictable nature, as if he possessed no magical powers at all. He approached Qingyi's resting place and softly asked, "Elder Qingyi, how are you?"

Qingyi slowly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on He Yuzhu, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He could clearly feel that He Yuzhu's strength had improved a lot, and he was secretly happy. Looking at He Yuzhu, he said, "Master, my injury is no longer serious, but my senior brother..."

Before he could finish his words, a hearty yet somewhat unruly laugh rang out, and the figure of the Devil King appeared before everyone. He looked He Yuzhu up and down, his eyes full of admiration: "Not bad, brat. In such a short time, your strength has improved so quickly. You have some of the talent I had back then. However, your life is really hard."

He Yuzhu was completely confused and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I wonder what you mean by this, senior?"

The Devil King raised his head slightly, his gaze gazing into the distance, his expression becoming somewhat solemn. "I can't say much, but you must know that there are those in this world who don't want to see mortals become immortals, and there are many powerful individuals among the demon race. Currently, spiritual energy has been secretly controlled. By the way, I've been here for quite some time. Do you have any other questions?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked hurriedly, "I wonder if you have eliminated the black energy you encountered earlier?"

He Yuzhu is still very concerned about this matter.

The Devil King shook his head helplessly. "It got away, but I also seriously injured it. It won't be able to cause any trouble in the short term. It just feels like it was controlled by someone, which is why it suddenly woke up."

He Yuzhu was about to ask again, but the Demon King's expression suddenly changed. He stared at He Yuzhu and said in surprise: "No, how come there is demonic energy on you?" You know, since the Demon King took control of the demonic energy, his perception of the demonic energy has been extremely keen. As long as there is demonic energy around him, he can always detect it at the first time. This is also one of the important reasons for his rapid increase in strength in Japan.

He Yuzhu was shocked and said in disbelief, "How could there be demonic energy on me? This is impossible. Could it be that the demon king left a mark on me when I fought him before?"

The Devil King nodded, looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Yes, it's very likely. Come here, I'll help you remove the evil spirit from your body, and then I'll leave. I'm really uncomfortable staying in this place."
