Chapter 221 You killed her?!
"Different?" Xie Wanning tilted her head and asked in confusion, "How are they different?"
“Su Anying has no inner demons. She has a friendly master and senior brothers, she cherishes her spirit beast, and there is nothing for her to fear.” Xie Wanxun explained, “Therefore, she is a happy child, free from the harm of inner demons.”
"I see!" Xie Wanning looked at Su Anying, who was sleeping peacefully in the illusion, with envy in her heart.
"Go on in. This negotiation should be a bit easier." Xie Wanxun made way for him.
Xie Wanning stood still, glancing helplessly at Xie Wanxun.
"What's wrong, Xie Wanning?"
"Sister, there's something I need your help with."
"What is it? Just say it."
Xie Wanning took out a space stone from her storage bag. Opening the space stone, a jet-black Crimson Flame Bird flew out.
"Why did you bring the magical beast with you?" Xie Wanxun asked, puzzled.
Xie Wanning said somewhat urgently, "Sister, this is Xiao Chi! My contracted spirit beast."
Xie Wanxun could only shake his head helplessly and say, "I'm sorry, I've fallen into demonic possession. There are some things I can't remember. Just tell me what's on your mind."
Xie Wanning was startled. She realized that those who had fallen into demonic possession would have their memories and emotions gradually erased. That was why her sister had become so distant from her.
Her heart ached as if it were being burned by fire; shame and guilt almost burst through her heart.
"What's wrong, Xie Wanning?" Xie Wanxun sensed Xie Wanning's unusual behavior and asked habitually.
"It's nothing." Xie Wanning lowered her eyes, suppressing the sadness in her heart. She forced herself to speak, "Sister, Little Red has turned into a magical beast. Do you have a way to turn it back into a spirit beast?"
"Yes. But there is a price to pay: the Crimson Flame Bird's cultivation will regress."
Xie Wanning hesitated. She looked at the Crimson Flame Bird and asked, "Little Crimson, are you willing?"
The Crimson Flame Bird cooed twice, indicating its agreement.
"Let's begin then." Xie Wanxun conjured a wisp of Netherfire in his hand and threw it toward the Crimson Flame Bird.
"This fire is formed from the condensation of spiritual energy and demonic energy, and its nature is similar to that of chaotic energy, so it can burn away all the demonic energy in the Crimson Flame Bird's body. However, most of the Crimson Flame Bird's spiritual energy is converted into demonic energy, so its cultivation level will drop."
Xie Wanning watched as the Crimson Flame Bird's body gradually turned crimson red, and a relieved smile appeared on her lips: "As long as Little Red doesn't continue to be tormented by demonic energy, that's good."
"Was it Yan Ze who did it?"
"Yes."
"He's a hypocrite. What righteous cultivator would turn a spirit beast into a demon beast?"
"Sister, has Yan Ze done anything wrong in the past? I suspect that he is involved in the deaths of our parents."
"I don't know either. In my past life, I only saw his true colors when I was dying."
"No matter what, once I regain my strength, I will make Yan Ze pay the price." Xie Wanning clenched her fists, her eyes burning with determination.
The demonic energy on the Crimson Flame Bird gradually dissipated, and it finally collapsed weakly. Xie Wanning caught the Crimson Flame Bird with lightning speed.
"It's alright, its spiritual power is weak right now, it needs some time to rest," Xie Wanxun said, feeding the Crimson Flame Bird a recovery pill.
"Okay. Leave the rest to me." Xie Wanning walked towards Su Anying.
The conversation with Su Anying went smoothly; Su Anying had no suspicion of Xie Wanning. Moreover, after receiving the Heavenly Illumination, her communication with spirit beasts became closer, and she naturally learned about the current state of spiritual energy decline in the cultivation world, so she quickly agreed with Xie Wanning's point of view.
At the end of the negotiations, Xie Wanning took a deep breath and made up her mind.
She handed the Crimson Flame Bird in her arms to Su Anying and entrusted it to her, saying, "Junior Sister Su, may I ask you to take care of the Crimson Flame Bird? I am not a good master, and the Crimson Flame Bird will not have a good outcome with me."
Xie Wan Ning thought of the perilous Qingyun Sect and the cold-hearted Yan Ze, and felt that the Crimson Flame Bird would not be well taken care of by her side.
The Crimson Flame Bird flapped its wings, trying to fly back to Xie Wanning's side.
Xie Wanning shook her head and pushed the Crimson Flame Bird away: "Little Crimson, you can only survive by following Junior Sister Su, don't follow me."
The Crimson Flame Bird cooed twice, but saw the resolute look in Xie Wan Ning's eyes.
Su Anying understood Xie Wanning's good intentions. After all, given Xie Wanning's precarious situation, the Crimson Flame Bird would only face greater danger if it followed her.
"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister. I will take good care of the Crimson Flame Bird." Su Anying took the Crimson Flame Bird and channeled her spiritual energy into it.
"Ring ring ring".
Xie Wanning smiled with relief, but there was an indescribable bitterness in her eyes.
She can barely take care of herself now, so why should she drag others into it?
After handing the communication bracelet to Su Anying, Xie Wanning stood up and left the illusion.
She looked around, but didn't see Si Jinchuan.
He took out his communication token before contacting his superior, Jinchuan.
"How are you doing over there?"
"Ji Yun has already made arrangements, but I can't find Xia Mengqi."
"What! She's not in the illusion?" Xie Wanning asked urgently.
"No."
Xie Wanning frowned in distress, wondering where Xia Mengqi would go.
A voice suddenly echoed in her mind, startling her.
"Xia Mengqi is in Lü Siyan's illusion. Hurry up, or you'll miss a good show." Xie Wanxun's voice echoed in his mind, tinged with anticipation.
"What do you mean?"
But there was no response.
Xie Wanning could only say to the communication token, "Si Jinchuan, hurry up and go to Lü Siyan's illusion, or we'll be in trouble."
Xie Wanning had just arrived in Lü Siyan's illusion when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.
"Phew, thank goodness we made it in time. What happened inside?" Si Jinchuan asked anxiously, panting.
"I don't know, let's go in first and talk about it."
The two entered the illusion, but could not find Lü Siyan and Xia Mengqi for a long time.
The illusion was shrouded in mist, and Xie Wanning felt her head getting increasingly dizzy.
"Oh no, it's poison gas." Xie Wanning realized what was happening, took out the antidote pill from her storage bag, and handed it to Si Jinchuan.
The two of them took the antidote pills and regained some consciousness.
"We need to hurry, the poison in this illusion is very strong," Si Jinchuan said, frowning as he looked at his swollen arm.
"Wait a minute, can you smell blood?" Xie Wanning was startled and realized that the blood smell was hidden in the poison gas.
“Over there,” Si Jinchuan said with certainty, pointing in a direction.
The two walked in that direction, and the poisonous gas gradually dissipated.
What came into view was Lü Siyan lying in a pool of blood, barely alive, and Xia Mengqi standing to the side, holding a bloodstained dagger.
When Xia Mengqi saw Xie Wanning and Si Jinchuan, she simply said, "Are you here to stop me? Yes, or no?"
"What are you doing? She's your junior sister, how could you kill her?" Xie Wanning bent down to treat Lü Siyan.
However, a dagger was thrust at her.
With a clang, Si Jinchuan's knife blocked the dagger, and Xia Mengqi looked at Si Jinchuan with displeasure.
"Don't stop me! I didn't poison my junior sister, and besides, Lü Siyan is the daughter of my enemy." Xia Mengqi raised the dagger again and stabbed at Lü Siyan.
A flash of light, and the sharp blade pierced Xia Mengqi's body.
"Si Jinchuan, you killed her?!" Xie Wanning stared at Si Jinchuan in disbelief, her face turning deathly pale.
Si Jinchuan sheathed his sword, looked up in one direction, and coldly commanded, "Come out!"
A figure appeared in that corner; it was Xia Mengqi.
"Sect Leader, it's been a long time."
