After Cultivating With the Enemy

The night wind cried and brushed across the pine forest, spinning on the ink-colored sky.

The man in black walked slowly towards Ji Chaoyun, who subconsciously took a half step back, his pale face showing no blood.

"Don't be nervous, we can have a good chat."

The billowing devilish breath overflowed as the black-clothed man spoke, making people almost breathless.

He stopped a few steps away from Ji Chaoyun, and said unhurriedly: "I just want to get something from you. As long as you obediently give it to me, I will let you go."

Ji Chaoyun asked: "Do you want Phoenix Jin Ling?"

"Not bad." The black clothed humanity said, "You will give me the Phoenix Golden Ling, and I will spare your life, how about?"

"dream!"

A long sword glowing with silver light appeared in his palm, and the sword body stretched out and pierced towards the man in black.

"Arrogant, do you think you can beat me?" The man in black sneered, only shaking his figure, and lightly avoided Ji Chaoyun's offensive.

Ji Chaoyun's movements did not stop, the blade turned sharply, and the dazzling sword light reflected the entire pine forest pale.

clang--!

The piercing sound of sharp blades reverberated in the forest. Ji Chaoyun's move was so rapid that the man in black had to carry his sword to block it.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly went dark.

Suddenly a stronger sword aura erupted from the long sword. The man in black felt a cool side face, and pushed Ji Chaoyun back a few steps at the moment the mask was broken.

The pure white mask fell to pieces, and a few drops of warm liquid dripped onto the grass along the side of the man in black.He touched the sword wound on his face, and a smile appeared on that familiar face.

"I underestimated you... Chaoyun."

Ji Chaoyun fixedly looked at him with a cold expression, without any emotion.

Shao Guang maintained a smile, and said gently, "Chaoyun, why are you so stubborn? Obediently give me the Phoenix Golden Ling and pretend nothing happened today. Why bother to explore my identity?"

"If I don't explore... Am I going to allow you to hide behind Yaoguang Xianzun and behave?"

Shaking look condensed.

Ji Chaoyun raised his sword to point at him, and said coldly: "You are not shaking light, who are you?!"

Shaoguang fell silent for a long time. After a while, he slowly said: "You are really smart, Chaoyun. If you can use it for me, you will definitely be able to do a great job, but it's a pity."

Ji Chaoyun's heart jumped and he sensed that the danger was approaching.He rose up quickly, and a blood red circle suddenly appeared where he was standing.Several strands of red rope sprang from the circle, bound his hands and feet, and pulled him back.

Ji Chaoyun landed on one knee, and the sword in his hand rolled down to the bare feet.

Shaoguang bent over to pick up the sword, and said, "If I guessed right, Feng Qi has already rushed over. You think he flies around you in his original form all day long, don't I notice it? Phoenix, It will always get in the way."

"what are you going to do?"

Shaking a light smile without answering, holding Ji Chaoyun's sword, turned his head and walked towards the body lying in the distance.

The lantern flickered on and off, and Li Hao fell into the darkness, vaguely visible his body still trembling slightly.Shaoguang walked to him and lowered his head, with a trace of regret and regret in his eyes.

Ji Chaoyun eagerly said: "Don't move him! It's me you have to deal with, why do you hurt the innocent!"

"I don't want to hurt the innocent either." Shaoguang looked at the person who fell on the ground, and his voice seemed a little helpless, "But who made him happen to be by your side today. To blame, you can only blame yourself. Others."

Yao Guang sighed softly, his wrist turned, and the sword's edge pierced Li Hao's chest from top to bottom.

The dim light finally dimmed, and the body trembled painfully in the darkness, and completely stopped moving.

Ji Chaoyun's eyes were filled with blood-red rays of formation, and his eyes were red: "You--"

There was a faint sound of footsteps in the distance, he shook his ears to listen, and smiled: "I didn't expect it to come so fast."

He shook his body, returned to Ji Chaoyun, and handed the sword back to him.

Ji Chaoyun tried his best to resist, but couldn't escape the restraint of the rope.

More bright red ropes climbed up on his wrists, controlled him to clenched the sword, adjusted the angle, and aimed the blade at Shaoguang's shoulder.

"Stop...Stop!"

Ji Chaoyun's voice trembled, but Shaoguang smiled and only touched his hair, the black robe on his body quickly disappeared, changing back to his usual makeup.

The jade pendant that had always been madly trembling in Ji Chaoyun's arms finally stopped. The red string suddenly exerted force, Ji Chaoyun stabbed a sword without any way, and the blade pierced Shao's shoulder.

The red rope disappeared with the formation, Ji Chaoyun raised his head, and saw his pale face in the shocked eyes of the opponent.

"Chaoyun? Why are you..." Shaking his head and looking down at the Jianfeng who had sunk into his shoulders, he hurried back.

Jian Feng pulled out, and his clothes instantly stained with blood.

"Don't run, come back!" Ji Chaoyun chased after him with a sword, his voice hoarse, "Get out of here--!"

At this moment, a ray of spiritual power flew out from the darkness and hit Ji Chaoyun's wrist unbiasedly.He let go, and fell to the ground with his sword.

Ji Chaoyun turned back, and dozens of figures walked quickly from the depths of the pine forest path.

Tianshu walked in the forefront, frowning at him, the light of spiritual power from his fingertips had not dissipated yet.

Shaoguang stumbled and fled in front of Tianshu, still bleeding from the wound on his shoulder: "Mr. Tianshu, why are you here, this..."

"Speak slowly, what's the matter?"

Shaoguang pressed the wound, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, it seemed to be blank for a moment.He turned his head to look at Li Hao who was lying on the ground, and suddenly said: "I...I was out to patrol. Yes, when I was patrolling, I heard the noise here and rushed over, but saw Chaoyun him... he killed Li Hao. It even stabbed me."

Tianshu frowned tightly, walked quickly to the side of Li Hao who fell on the ground, squatted down, and dived into the other's spiritual vein.

After a moment, he shook his head and said: "I'm already out of breath."

Ji Chaoyun staggered backwards and fell into a familiar embrace.He raised his head and saw the unconcealed worry in those handsome eyes.

"No, it's not me... not like this..."

"I know, I know it's not you." Feng Qi hugged him tightly from behind, and whispered softly in his ear, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, it won't cause you anything."

Tianshu got up and walked towards where they were: "Ji Chaoyun, why did you kill Li Hao and attack Yaoguang Xianzun?"

"I don't, it's him--" Ji Chaoyun said, "The demons inhabited in Yaoguang Xianzun. I saw with my own eyes that it was the demons who killed Brother Li!"

"Demon, monster?" Shaoguang looked very confused, and said in doubt, "Chaoyun, what's wrong with you, why is there a monster in my body? Are you going crazy and hallucinating?"

"I--"

Ji Chaoyun wanted to explain, but suddenly stopped talking.

He looked at Tianshu and Yaoguang standing side by side in front of him, and his head dazzled by hatred finally calmed down a little.

At this point, no matter how arguing is, it is useless.

That Demon Race had obviously been living in Yao Guang for a long time, and neither he nor other Immortal Venerables could find the clue.If it hadn't been for the person to show up, it would be impossible for him to force him out.

However, as long as they examine the injury on Li Hao's body, they can find out that it was indeed his sword injury.

The death of Li Hao pushed Ji Chaoyun into a state of isolation and helplessness, and everything was a foregone conclusion.

Tianshu Xianjun seems to be constantly asking about something, while Yaoguang is standing aside, covering his wound in confusion and dazed, seeming not to understand why Ji Chaoyun suddenly becomes like this.

The surrounding eyes gathered on Ji Chaoyun. He followed those gazes. There were a few seniors whom the Inspectorate had recently met, and the usual deacon disciples around Tianshu, Kaiyang Immortal Venerable and the chief disciple Jiang Cheng. Yuheng Xianzun, Tianquan Xianzun...

These people have different expressions on their faces, some of them are astonished, and some are angry, but no one believes him.

Ji Chaoyun lowered his head, only feeling the cold from top to bottom all over his body, and even couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Then, he was covered by the warmth coming from behind.

From beginning to end, Feng Qi hugged him tightly behind him, never letting go.

Ji Chaoyun looked back into his eyes, and helplessly grasped the other's sleeves: "You...Do you believe me?"

"I believe it," Feng Qi said Wen.

No matter what happens, I believe you.

Never change.

These two words seemed to give Ji Chaoyun great courage. He forced himself to calm down and whispered: "He wants to frame me, he is in Yaoguang Xianzun. I don't know how he hides himself, but as long as he shows up , The jade pendant can feel his magic breath—"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people stepped forward and caught him.

He was forcefully pulled out of Feng Qi's embrace, and his fingertips slipped off the opponent's sleeve.

He struggled so hard that he could hardly hear what the people around him were saying.In a daze, he saw Feng Qi making a silent mouth to him.

He said, "Don't be afraid."

"I am here."

All the sounds and images faded at this moment, and Wan Lai was silent, leaving him to look at each other quietly.

Ji Chaoyun looked at each other steadily, as if a boulder fell to the ground, and the turbulent undercurrent finally subsided at this moment.

He slowly nodded towards Feng Qi, and whispered, "Okay."

In the middle of the night, the Wenxin Hall was brightly lit, and Feng Qi stood in the hall with a cold expression: "Why don't you let me participate? He is clearly framed. I have already told you, shake him off—"

"Feng Qi, you have no evidence."

"Then you won't let me check?!"

Tian Shu calmly said: "You have a very close relationship with Ji Chaoyun, you must avoid this matter."

"Why don't you avoid it, why give it to Kaiyang?" Feng Qi frowned and said, "Don't you know that Kaiyang has always had prejudices against Chaoyun, what can he find out?"

"You have to trust the academy, we will not wrong the good people."

Feng Qi fell silent.

He coldly looked at Tianshu sitting in the main hall, and said softly: "Uncle, I hope you remember today's words. If there is any difference, this will be the last time I believe you."

After he said this, he turned and left Wenxin Temple.

Outside the asking heart hall, someone was waiting.

Yao Guang's injuries have been treated, and his wounds are not deep, so it did not affect his daily actions.He was standing in the center of the courtyard outside the hall, with a gentle expression on his face, looking at Feng Qi from a distance.

Feng Qi walked up to him and said coldly: "Xianzun is injured, why don't you go back to rest?"

"I... I have something to find Lord Tianshu."

Feng Qi mocked: "Why, you still think that Ji Chaoyun was not miserable enough by you?"

Shao Guang: "No, I want to... intercede for Chaoyun. What he did today is really weird, and he can't make a conclusion so easily."

Feng Qi looked at him silently, as if judging whether his words were true or false.

Yao Guang didn't care about his gaze, and slowly said, "You said that Chaoyun has been getting along well with the Inspectorate in the past few days. How could he suddenly violently hurt people? There may be some other reasons for this."

Feng Qi lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Speaking of which, I really want to ask Yaoguang Xianzun. You never personally patrol at night. Why did you show up in the classroom today? What did you do?"

Shaking his expression blank for a moment: "I...I am going...I am going..."

Feng Qi ignored his rebuttal and continued: "Also, Chaoyun's cultivation is not high in the academy. How can he kill a local disciple with one sword, and how can he hurt you? If there is such a level, wouldn't the academy's top ranking list be replaced?"

"This... Xu is Li Hao, he is not prepared, I was anxious to see his situation at that time, this is..."

"I haven't finished." Feng Qi interrupted coldly, and said again, "I have already explored the woods just now. In addition to the traces left by Ji Chaoyun's sword, another strange sword mark appeared on the scene. , That is not Li Hao's sword."

He was slightly taller than Shao Guang, and he looked down, with a somewhat intriguing majestic aura: "Can Immortal Venerable tell me, whose sword is that?"

Yao Guang's face was pale, and there was no response at all.

Feng Qi tilted his head to smile, and walked straight over him and left the courtyard.

It wasn't until he walked away that a dark color flashed in his eyes.

Ji Chaoyun sat in a dark cell with his hands locked on the wall with shackles.The outside world could not be seen in the cell, and he could not judge how long time had passed.

The chain on the wrist can block the spiritual power of the cultivation base. After losing the spiritual power body, Ji Chaoyun only felt that his body became colder.He curled up against the wall, his hands tightly gripping the collar of his robe.

Feng Qi personally put this on him before the night tour started.

"Feng Qi..." Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and called out softly.

"Who are you calling?" A mocking voice sounded from the void, "Fortunately, the ancestor of the Feng clan has a deep affection for you, and he gave you the most important piece of Lingyu. You are so empathetic. If his descendants are let him know, how should he deal with himself?"

Ji Chaoyun raised his head, and a black figure appeared in the center of the cell.

"What do you want to do?"

Shaking lightly: "I said, I only want Phoenix Jin Ling."

"impossible."

"Why are you so stubborn? God's realm has been closed. It is impossible to open it in less than a thousand years. Your Phoenix God will not be able to return." Shaking light said, "You obediently hand over Phoenix Jin Ling to me, absolutely to Feng Xiao Isn’t it good to be with Feng Qi?"

Ji Chaoyun was too lazy to explain his relationship with Feng Qi, and said lightly: "If I give you Phoenix Jin Ling, can you really let me go? Then who should be responsible for Li Hao's life?"

"..."

Ji Chaoyun retracted his gaze: "I won't give it to you. Kill me. Just like you sneaked into the confinement room without knowing it, killing Wen Yi."

"Do you think I don't dare?" Shaoguang said coldly, "The people around here have been distracted by me. If it were not for you to open the deed on the Phoenix Golden Ling, your life would be long gone. I will give it Your last chance, hand over Phoenix Jin Ling, I can save you out."

"No need, do it."

Shaking light looked dark, showing a bit of coldness.

The temperament of his whole body suddenly changed, and the powerful magic breath overflowed from his eyes, and the entire cell was instantly filled.Yaoguang drew a sharp sword, and this time, he did not impose any blindness on the sword.

The strong spiritual pressure forced Ji Chaoyun's throat to be sweet. He suppressed the blood surging in his heart and looked at the quaint long sword in the opponent's hand.

He thought of the rainy night in his previous life without warning.

The same was true for him at that time, being forced to have nowhere to retreat, he could only watch the man in front of him withdraw the sword and slowly walk towards him.

The images of past and present lives overlapped in front of him, and he saw this man raise his sword and stabbed him hard—

The door of the cell suddenly opened, and a golden whip rushed in like a snake, tightly wrapped around the blade.

Shaoguang's expression changed, and the next second, Feng Qi stepped in and blocked Ji Chaoyun.

"You... how can you..."

"Why are you here?" Feng Qi interrupted him and smiled, "Do you have any misunderstandings about Hongmeng Academy, this place is the highest school in Xianyu, do you still think this is your Demon Realm, everyone is so stupid," Are you playing around?"

His voice fell, and footsteps came from outside the door.

Several disciples filed in, holding their swords and blocking in front of Ji Chaoyun.Feng Qi received the long whip and returned to Ji Chaoyun. Then, Tianshu and Kaiyang slowly entered.

Tianshu asked, "Who are you, and why don't you come out of Yao Guangjun?"

Shao Guang scanned the crowd slowly, and said coldly: "How did you find out?"

"Why do you want to tell you?" Feng Qi hugged Ji Chaoyun and sneered.

"..."

Everyone in the room was silent for a moment, but Tianshu cleared his throat: "Feng Qi, don't talk nonsense."

"Never mind..." Shao Guang took a half step back imperceptibly, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, "I'll admit it, but it's not over yet. The gods are in decline, the demons are in power, and the demons will return to the immortal sooner or later. Domain, you will never stop it!"

"Stop him!"

Feng Qi shouted, and the disciples waved their swords forward, but they were still a step slower.

Suddenly, Yao Guang burst into an unprecedentedly strong magical breath, and his spirit pressure shook all the younger disciples present to the ground.Feng Qi instinctively turned around and hugged Ji Chaoyun, blocking the terrible spiritual pressure for him.

There was a trace of blood in his throat, and Yu Guang saw Tianshu and Kaiyang, the only ones who could move, stepping forward quickly, catching the weakly fallen body of Emperor Yaoguang.

The magical breath quickly disappeared, Tianshu plunged into the Shaking Light Spirit Vein, after a moment, he whispered softly: "He escaped."

Feng Qi frowned slightly, but the spiritual pressure caused him to surge in blood and he was temporarily speechless.He lowered his head to meet Ji Chaoyun's worried eyes and shook his head gently.

Kaiyang said angrily: "Asshole, this demon must have been ready to retreat when he came, but he still couldn't catch it."

The atmosphere in the room was solemn for a while, but there was a rustling sound of iron chains.Feng Qi unfastened the shackles on Ji Chaoyun's wrists, lifted the man upright, got up and walked out.

Kaiyang was angry, and said sadly: "Where are you going before the matter is finished?"

"Back to Disciple Peak." Feng Qi glanced at him, then moved his gaze to Tianshu, and said coldly, "Chaoyun needs to rest now. As for you using Chaoyun as a bait, I hope you can give me an explanation later .uncle."

"What kind of attitude are you—"

Kaiyang was so angry that he was held back by Tianshu: "Forget it, let him go."

Feng Qi snorted coldly and left the cell holding Ji Chaoyun.

It was late at night outside, and the sky full of stars and moonlight sprinkled on the distant Hongmeng Mountain, as peaceful and calm as usual.

Ji Chaoyun's tense nerves finally relaxed at this time, he only felt that his body was abnormally exhausted, and he could not lift a trace of strength.

Feng Qi whispered, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep for a while, don't hold on."

"But Shaoguang Xianzun is over..."

"Shh, you have to rest now, don't think about it."

Ji Chaoyun was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, his voice gradually faintly mosquitoes: "Then tomorrow... tomorrow you must tell me everything, we're done."

"Well, that's it."

Ji Chaoyun didn't speak any more, he buried his head in Feng Qi's arms and finally fell asleep peacefully.

The author has something to say:

Today’s chapter is relatively long, and it’s been stuck for a long time, because I found that the reading experience is not very good no matter where it is cut off, so I wrote it all in one breath_(:з∠)_
