Chapter 375: Soul Damage Again

"Heh." She shouted coldly, "You knew that Xingxing had an abdominal injury but you still hit him in the abdomen. Is this what a human being would do? You are getting more shameless as you get older."

After a pause, he felt that it was still difficult to get rid of the hatred in his heart, and continued: "When he saved them, he nodded and bowed with a face full of flattery, calling him Master Mo, Master Mo. But what was the result? When he knew that Xingxing was a half-demon, he became a monster. If you had known that they were such a group of people, you should not have saved them, and let them be killed by Yu You. Now you want him to save them again? Who knows if he saves them, will they turn around and stab Xingxing in the back?"

Chujiu said a lot of things, and Chifeng and Huahua nodded in secret.

They didn't know much about what happened to Chujiu and Mo Xinglan in Piaomiao Domain. They heard it all from Fang Hao.

Although they were not clear about the specific situation at the time, they knew that Mo Xinglan was injured, and they would stand on Mo Xinglan's side regardless of right or wrong.

Chujiu spoke for Mo Xinglan, so they naturally agreed with Chujiu.

At this time, Chi Feng did not forget to interject: "Yes, I have seen many of you who wave the banner of justice, but in the end, none of you do anything."

Seeing the old shopkeeper opening his mouth to speak, he hurriedly continued, "Besides, my master is the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. Why should those ungrateful, ungrateful, and ignorant fools invite my master? Tsk!"

Huahua nodded: "Although I hate this stinky bird, he is right."

Chi Feng: "Little fox, you're itching for trouble, aren't you?"

Huahua: "Wow... little master!"

Chi Feng: “…”

After hearing Chi Feng's words, Chu Jiu secretly gave him a thumbs up and said in a voice transmission: "Well, you can start your apprenticeship now."

"Hmph." Chi Feng was extremely proud of being recognized by Chu Jiu. He walked with confidence, even a little bit floating.

Mo Xinglan saw the little actions of the man and the demon in private, but he just glanced at them and ignored them.

The old shopkeeper opened his mouth but couldn't say anything after hearing this.

Looking up at Mo Xinglan, he still had no expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard what they had just said.

He sighed and said, "It is their own fault that they have fallen into this situation. Mr. Mo, I will not interfere in the grudges between them."

"As for whether to save him or not, why don't you listen to what I have to say next and then decide?"

Having said this, Mo Xinglan finally looked at him.

Chujiu frowned, having a bad feeling.

The old shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Your father's death is definitely not as simple as being caused by Mo Hengsong."

Mo Xinglan froze in his tracks as he spoke, and stood still, staring at him: "What do you mean?"

As soon as he stopped, the rest of the people also stopped, looking at the old shopkeeper with confusion and shock.

The old shopkeeper looked around at the people and hesitated for a moment: "With your father's strength back then, not to mention Mo Hengsong, even the head of the Mo family was no match for your father. Almost no one in Hualing can kill such a person. Even if he is killed, his soul will remain, but your father's soul no longer exists. Do you think Mo Hengsong has this strength?"

"Are you saying that someone is helping Mo Hengsong behind the scenes?" Mo Xinglan's eyes turned cold, and he already had many guesses in his mind.

Suddenly, I felt something was wrong: "What does this have to do with Tian Yi?"

It can't be that Tian Yi is helping Mo Hengsong behind the scenes.

After hearing this, Chujiu was so shocked that his eyes widened and he didn't know what to say.

So does this mean that Mo Hengsong is not the real murderer of Mo Lingfan?

"Before your father died, he went to find Tian Yi. I guess Tian Yi might have some clues." The old shopkeeper looked serious.

After the words were spoken, the surroundings fell into silence.

After a while, Mo Xinglan narrowed his eyes and stared at the old shopkeeper: "Who are you? How do you know this?"

The old shopkeeper did not answer for a long time. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and answered helplessly: "My name is Tian Qinggang and I am Tian Yi's master. I know this because Tian Yi told me."

"That's not right." Chujiu felt something was wrong and suddenly said, "Didn't they say that you died after participating in Yu You's seal five hundred years ago?"

The old shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It really took me most of my life to seal Yu You. I was seriously injured at the time, but I still have a breath left. It's just that my strength is not as good as before."

"As for the news of my death spreading outside, it was also to allow Tian Yi to smoothly succeed as the Lord of the Secret Realm. Besides, after all, I am old and not as strong as I used to be. I just want to spend some time enjoying my retirement, and the news of my death is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of it."

Chujiu's mouth twitched after hearing this: "You are really a ruthless person."

But this also tallies with what he said when he left Piao Miao Realm last time, that he owed Xing Xing's mother a favor.

How can you not be cruel when you even harm yourself?

Old shopkeeper, no, Tian Qinggang smiled helplessly, then looked at Mo Xinglan: "I don't know much about the Mo family, and I've told you everything I know. It's up to you to decide whether to save them or not."

"If you save them, I will take you there. If you don't, this is their fate."

After hearing this, Chujiu rolled his eyes and was speechless.

According to what he said, how could Xingxing not save people?

Sure enough, Mo Xinglan made the decision to go to Piaomiao Realm to rescue people without much hesitation.

In the end, he went to Piaomiao Realm to rescue Tian Yi and others, and Chujiu went to Chu's house.

When leaving, Chifeng and Huahua were asked to stay with Chujiu to ensure his safety.

Chujiu is a person with poor sense of direction and this is his first time walking through this place. Fortunately, Chifeng and Huahua are not people with poor sense of direction. They have been here once and remember the way.

……

Chujiu secretly returned to Chu's house. He made Chifeng and Huahua return to their original forms, shrunk their bodies, and then used space isolation to avoid attracting anyone's attention.

Only when we arrived at the outskirts of Chu's home did we realize that what we saw was far more serious than what Chi Feng and the others had described.

From time to time, a few suspicious people were seen around the Chu family, who were obviously monitoring the Chu family. The outer disciples suffered heavy casualties, and many houses were in ruins.

She watched all this in the isolated space with a frown on her face, her fists hanging by her side clenched tightly and her eyes cold.

Those who hurt her family will pay a heavy price.

Suddenly she remembered something and moved to a relatively hidden corner, releasing Chi Feng and Hua Hua.

He whispered, "You guys go to Ping An City to help my brother and the others."

As he spoke, he tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, scribbled a few words with a brush and handed it to Chi Feng.

"If my brother doesn't believe you, give this to him. Remember to be careful, safety first."

Chi Feng took the cloth handed over by Chu Jiu and exchanged glances with Hua Hua. Then he looked at her and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I promise to bring the person back."

Afterwards, in a dark corner where no one knew, an inconspicuous bird and a little fox appeared and disappeared silently.

Not long after, Chujiu arrived at the main residence of the Chu family.

She left in a hurry and did not send a message to Chu Congnan and the others that she was coming back. This was also just in case.

Go see Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin first.

Although I don't know where they are exactly, based on the current situation and time, they should be in the study.

But they were injured and might be in the bedroom.

After hesitating for a moment, he went to the bedroom first.

He quietly avoided all the guards and walked to the bedroom door.

Looking at the open door, she was a little stunned. She was still worrying about how to get in if the door was closed, but she didn't expect the door to be open.

That’s not easy, just go in.

As she stepped into the room, she felt a gust of spiritual wind blade coming towards her quickly.

He took a breath and dodged quickly. He didn't have time to calm his frightened heart, and quickly showed up: "Mom, it's me."

Xiang Tingqin, who was about to launch another wind blade, paused and looked in shock at Chujiu who was standing beside her to comfort her.

The pale lips trembled before speaking: "Xiao, Xiaojiu!"

She took a few steps forward excitedly and grabbed Chujiu's shoulders, tears in her eyes, and confirmed: "Xiaojiu, it's really Xiaojiu! That's great, you're okay."

As he said this, he hugged Chujiu.

Chujiu was still a little confused. He gently patted Xiang Tingqin's back to comfort her while looking for Chu Congnan.

But what he saw was Chu Congnan lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

His face was as pale as paper and he looked seriously injured.

"Mother, how is Daddy?"

Xiang Tingqin then let her go and pulled her to sit on a chair beside him.

He glanced at Chu Congnan, who was unconscious on the bed, and sighed, "The soul is damaged."

As she spoke, she forced a smile at Chujiu: "But don't worry, it's not serious. With your father's cultivation level, he will wake up soon."

That’s what she said, but in fact she didn’t know when Chu Congnan would wake up, or whether he would wake up at all.

Chujiu frowned: "Another soul damaged!"

Suddenly, the incident of Chu Furong being injured came to her mind.

I told her about Chu Furong's injury.

Xiang Tingqin frowned after hearing this and thought for a moment: "So the evil spirit in Crescent Moon Forest was not caused by the people in the Demon Realm?"

Chujiu shook his head: "I'm not sure about this, but it shouldn't be done by Xingxing's subordinates."

Xiang Tingqin looked at her and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother believes in you."

After hesitating for a moment, he told her his guess that there was someone helping Mo Hengsong behind the scenes.

After hearing this, Chujiu fell silent.

This is consistent with what Mr. Tian said. But there should be more than one person helping Mo Hengsong behind the scenes.

Xingxing said that anyone who could refine so many pills at once was a high-level alchemist. She didn't know much about alchemy, but she did know two high-level alchemists.

One is Xingxing, the other is Venerable Qu Ling.
