111: Chapter 111 Just who exactly is this Indra?

Zhu Yuyan actually abandoned even the Yin Gui Sect, insisting on joining his sect.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan's gaze swept over Wanwan, who was quietly sizing her up, and then she raised her hand and tapped lightly.

Wanwan's body went limp, and she collapsed.

Zhu Yuyan stepped forward quickly and reached out to support her.

A trace of suspicion flashed through Su Rui's eyes as he watched this scene.

"AZhu, ABi, take Wanwan to your room first."

He called out.

The two who were hiding in the room eavesdropping quickly opened the door, came out, and helped Wanwan inside.

Once they were far away, Su Rui's gaze fell on Zhu Yuyan again.

"You can speak now."

A hint of bashfulness appeared on Zhu Yuyan's face, and she seemed slightly hesitant.

After a moment, she asked in a low voice:

"Is there a quiet and secret place here?"

Her mysterious manner made Su Rui even more puzzled.

Nevertheless, he led her into the cultivation room.

He wanted to see what this Queen of Yin actually intended to do.

After the door closed, Zhu Yuyan listened carefully to the movement outside before turning to look at Su Rui.

"You, have you practiced the Method of Dao Heart Seeded with Demons?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Rui was slightly stunned.

Because of Shi Feixuan, he had been suppressing the Demon Seed within his body.

He had already planned to find an opportunity to clear it out.

This martial art was a supreme method leading to the Peak for others, but for him, it was meaningless.

Hearing Zhu Yuyan mention it, he loosened his control slightly, and the aura of the Demon Seed immediately manifested.

And almost at the same time, he also sensed the Devilish Qi on Zhu Yuyan.

Her face turned slightly red, and there was an indescribable ripple in her gaze.

As if being pulled by some invisible force.

"You don't want me to help you awaken the Demon Seed, do you?"

A strange emotion actually rose in Su Rui's heart as well.

"No."

Zhu Yuyan responded softly, suppressing the waves surging in her heart.

"What I cultivate is the Heavenly Demon Arts, a part of the Heavenly Demon Strategy.

In my early years, I reached the seventeenth level, but later my state of mind was damaged due to certain events. To this day, I am only at the eighteenth level and have always been unable to Breakthrough."

She paused slightly, a flash of hatred appearing in her eyes.

"So I found the Dao Heart Seeded with Demons, hoping to use it to repair my state of mind."

Su Rui gave her a thoughtful look.

"Because of Shi Zhixuan?"

Zhu Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Exactly.

When I was seventeen, I was nearly deceived by him."

Her voice carried suppressed anger.

"To swindle the Heavenly Demon Strategy from my Yin Gui Sect and perfect his Immortal Seal Method, he tricked me."

Su Rui frowned slightly.

"So, what exactly do you need me to do?"

"Dual Cultivation."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Su Rui's gaze immediately became strange.

This woman... actually had this idea?

Seeing this, Zhu Yuyan hurriedly added:

"It's just spiritual fusion and Demon Seed resonance; there's no need for... that."

At this moment, she no longer had her usual high-and-mighty appearance; her tone was filled with shyness and fluster.

Su Rui's figure flashed, appearing in front of her, and he lightly gripped her wrist with one hand.

Zhu Yuyan's body went limp, and she almost fell into his arms.

His other hand rested on her shoulder, his fingertips touching the slightly damp fabric of her shoulder.

Sure enough, she was a woman as soft as if she had no bones.

Her heartbeat quickened, and her breathing became erratic.

She looked up at Su Rui and was instantly drawn in by those eyes.

When she came back to her senses, the two were already in an illusion that looked like a fairyland.

Mist swirled, cranes danced, and a galaxy-like waterfall cascaded from the horizon.

Islands floated in the air, rosy light flowed, and pavilions and terraces were arranged in an orderly fashion.

Standing beside Su Rui, Zhu Yuyan finally shook off the throbbing that had made her uneasy,

yet for some reason, she felt a bit lost deep down.

"What is this place?"

Su Rui turned to look at her, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

"This is the Heavenly Palace Illusion, a spiritual Realm manifested through the intersection of minds."

"Your state of mind indeed has issues, but there's no need for Dual Cultivation. Your cultivation has already reached the limit of the eighteenth heaven. Once your state of mind is repaired, you will naturally Breakthrough and enter the Divine Roaming Profound Realm—which is what you call the Land Immortal Realm!"

After hearing what Su Rui said, a flash of joy crossed Zhu Yuyan's eyes.

"I request Your Excellency's assistance!"

"For me, this is just a simple task."

Su Rui looked at her quietly.

"However, have you truly decided to join the martial arts hall?"

"Yes!"

Hope was right before her eyes.

As for her ambitions, they could be realized as long as she entered the Land Immortal Realm.

That Empress of Great Zhou used this Realm to forcibly seize a territory from the Great Tang.

She could do it too.

By then, the Quiet Temple of Compassion would be something she could destroy with a flip of her hand.

At this thought, a trace of heat flashed in Zhu Yuyan's gaze.

Su Rui naturally saw what she was thinking but did not say much.

He raised his hand and tapped lightly, his fingertip landing on the center of Zhu Yuyan's brow.

Within the Heavenly Palace Illusion, Zhu Yuyan's expression froze slightly, then her eyes became hollow and her consciousness blurred.

When she regained her senses, the scene before her was still the cultivation room.

She looked within herself, and instantly a look of wild joy appeared on her face.

Her state of mind was perfect and flawless, and her cultivation had already leapt to the nineteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Arts.

Her strength was dozens or even a hundred times greater than before.

She hadn't expected that breaking through just one Realm would bring such a world-shaking change.

She turned to look at Su Rui, her lips curling into a charming smile.

That smile was full of charm, yet it was not as natural as her previous youthful shyness.

It was slightly forced!

"Thank you, Hall Master, for your help. I shall take my leave now."

Zhu Yuyan bowed slightly and spoke in a soft tone.

Now that she had ascended to be a Land Immortal, she naturally had other considerations.

Why would she need to be restricted by the martial arts hall anymore?

The world is vast, and she could roam freely and dominate the current era.

Su Rui's expression remained normal; hearing this, he just shook his head slightly.

"As expected of you, compared to your Disciple, you are far inferior.

Wanwan's mind is pure, as for you... you once treated people sincerely, but you just lack some discipline."

Zhu Yuyan's face changed slightly, and her expression suddenly became alert.

Phantoms floated around her, as if heavenly demons were dancing gracefully.

"Thinking of leaving?"

Su Rui struck out with a palm, leaving an afterimage in the cultivation room. The next moment, he appeared in AZhu's room. Zhu Yuyan, who was about to take Wanwan away, suddenly changed color as her figure was pulled by an inexplicable force and instantly dragged back to the original spot.

Passing through walls as if they were nothing, yet the walls remained undamaged.

AZhu and ABi were dumbfounded, filled with shock and uncertainty.

A figure had clearly flashed by just now, so how could it disappear in the blink of an eye?

And that figure also seemed somewhat familiar.

Thinking back to those ghost-like wailing sounds outside the martial arts hall, the two women couldn't help but be terrified.

Su Rui gripped Zhu Yuyan's shoulder, his voice ringing softly in her ear.

"Where are you going?"

Zhu Yuyan's expression changed drastically. The nineteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Great Law within her body actually seemed to fall silent, her Devilish Qi retracting.

On the contrary, the Demon Seed within her body was starting to stir.

Having just broken through to the nineteenth level, Zhu Yuyan's appearance was already peerlessly beautiful, her skin like mutton-fat white jade, so delicate it could be broken by a mere touch.

Her gauze robe fell to the floor. With a wave of Su Rui's hand, a Sound-isolating Barrier appeared around the cultivation room.

Icy skin and jade bones, peerlessly enchanting.

Her black hair scattered like a waterfall, a dreamlike vanity.

A long time later, Zhu Yuyan sat up slightly panting, only to be gently pressed back by a powerful hand.

"Still planning to leave?" Su Rui asked softly, looking down at the person in his arms.

"I want to go and destroy the Quiet Temple of Compassion." Zhu Yuyan struggled for a bit, but her body was soft and weak.

"As for the Quiet Temple of Compassion, Shi Feixuan will handle it herself; you don't need to interfere."

"The Saintess of the Quiet Temple of Compassion..."

Zhu Yuyan's thoughts were still a bit chaotic; it had been too intense just now, and she hadn't fully recovered yet.

She had wanted to flee on an impulse, but now being tightly held by Su Rui, she simply leaned into his arms.

"You don't need to go back to the Great Tang either; I want to be able to see you at any time."

Su Rui whispered, closing his eyes as his arms tightened.

Zhu Yuyan's body trembled slightly; hearing these words, a hint of sweetness actually rose in her heart.

In the cultivation room, a fragrant breeze swirled, and it was filled with warmth.

Meanwhile, in Snow Moon City, wailing sounds still echoed everywhere.

When Wanwan woke up and walked out of the room, she happened to see Su Rui and Zhu Yuyan sitting side by side.

Zhu Yuyan's hair was smooth, her face was rosy, and her spirit was clearly much better.

"Master, you just now..."

"Wanwan, let's leave first." Zhu Yuyan stood up and said softly.

Then, in the gaze she directed toward Su Rui, her body still trembled slightly.

This reaction was not caused by the influence of the Demon Seed.

But rather an instinct from the heart.

Wanwan looked back and forth between Su Rui and Zhu Yuyan with a face full of doubt, and was ultimately pulled by Zhu Yuyan as they both took to the air and departed.

Looking at the receding backs of Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan, Su Rui did not stop them.

His gaze was somewhat wandering and unsettled.

"Heavenly Gateway?" he whispered.

While they were embracing earlier, Zhu Yuyan mentioned news coming from the Demonic Cult.

Quite a few people have come this time.

Like the Godless Palace on East Sea Island, the Heavenly Gateway, and reportedly some experts from the Liyang Dynasty.

However, Zhu Yuyan had not seen the people from the Liyang side.

When Duan Lang appeared earlier, Su Rui speculated that the Heavenly Gateway would show its face sooner or later.

He didn't expect to encounter them so soon.

In that case, that Di Shitian will surely appear as well.

What exactly is the origin of this Di Shitian?

Currently, the Great Qin Empire is at its Peak, and the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng is in his prime.

Even if he dispatched Xu Fu to search for the Elixir of Immortality, it wouldn't match up with the current Di Shitian.

This identity then becomes particularly intriguing.

Su Rui's heart was already starting to feel a bit eager to try.

Staying in this Snow Moon City all the time is indeed a bit boring.

Once the matters here in Northern Li come to a close, he plans to personally investigate the background of the Heavenly Gateway.

While he was lost in thought, a figure suddenly plummeted from the sky, landing heavily in the courtyard and retreating several steps before stabilizing.

That person looked alert and flashed behind Su Rui in an instant.

One hand directly gripped Su Rui's neck.

Su Rui's expression remained unchanged as he calmly picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip.

Another figure descended from the sky, landing in the courtyard, looking at the scene before them with a face full of shock.

The two who landed were exactly Luo Xian and Li Changsheng.

Clearly, Luo Xian was at a disadvantage; at this moment, her expression was tense as she held Su Rui as a hostage.

"..."

Looking at the composed Su Rui, Li Changsheng was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to speak.

"I advise you to let go!"

"I will naturally release him after I leave!"

Luo Xian's expression was solemn, the Internal Energy of the Sacred Heart Art surging in her palm, clearly on guard against Li Changsheng suddenly attacking.

"Teacher, why don't you stretch your muscles a bit?"

Li Changsheng said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
