Chapter 151: Confessing the External Evil
As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them suddenly heard a sharp and long sword sound, followed by a clear light that shot straight up into the sky from the direction of Dadong Peak, immediately dispersing the clouds, and then seemed to pass through something in the sky and disappear.

Mei Qiulu's face turned grim. She looked up at the sky, then at Li Wuxiang. "This is Jiang Jie's sword intent warning the Sword Sect disciples outside to avoid disaster immediately... It seems that you have caused a big disaster. Let's go to Dadong Peak!"

……

All the disciples of the Sword Sect have gathered in the Donghuang Taiyi Hall at the top of Dadong Peak.

This Taiyi Palace is completely different from the ones outside Youjiuyuan. It is more like the main hall of a wealthy family, only much bigger.

There is a table and two chairs in the north of the main hall, and a portrait is hung against the wall. However, the person in the painting is not the immortal appearance of Donghuang Taiyi after he attained enlightenment, but the appearance of Li Ye, the Emperor of Ye, wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne when the Ye Dynasty was still there, as if he is also in the hall at this moment, sitting in the right position.

There were also seats on both sides of the hall. Taiyi Sect Leader Jiang Jie sat at the top left seat, and the top right seat was empty. The five sword masters and three sword masters had already taken their seats, and the remaining sword sect disciples were also standing in the hall, about thirty people in total.

Kong Xu was standing in front of Cui Jianzhu, who frowned and looked at him: "I don't understand, you said Li Wuxiang went to the lower world to find Wansui - who did you learn this from?"

"……Yes."

"But you said you didn't know from whom you heard it?"

Kong Xu said awkwardly: "Yes."

Cui Jianzhu slapped the armrest of the chair: "Kong Xu, are you confused?"

Kong Xu sighed, took another breath, looked around, and seemed to have no way to refute it: "I... Senior Brother Cui, Master, I really can't remember. I just heard that Li Wuxiang was going to find Wansui, so I thought about going over to help..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not going to help. I know Wansui is not as easy to deal with as before. I want to see him suffer a loss before I take action, so that he can stay away from You Jiuyuan! But I don't know how he did it... He made a hole in the lower world. I thought he looked wrong at the time. He shouldn't have that kind of magical power after just forming a golden elixir, so I followed him out of curiosity."

"Then I saw the jade seal... I don't know if he used some magic to bewilder me. I didn't know anything. I reached out to grab the thing, but as soon as I touched it, he broke my hand--" Kong Xu raised his right hand. The wound had healed, and a few granulations appeared on the top, like a palm that was about to grow again. "He also asked me if I wanted to fight him for revenge. I wanted to come back to report, so I said there was no hatred between us, and then he left. That's what happened, without hiding anything."

"You are about to harm your fellow disciples. I will deal with you later!" Sword Master Cui glared at Kong Xu, then turned to look at Jiang Jie, "Brother Jiang, we have been looking for the imperial seal for so many years, but it was found by Li Wuxiang, and he is in Youjiuyuan - you just sent out a sword warning, you should know how urgent this matter is. That is the imperial seal and the Eastern Emperor Seal, the only golden immortal treasure left in the world. Brother Jiang, there is something wrong with Li Wuxiang, don't you agree that I should go and get him? If he runs away... I guess he was sent to Youjiuyuan by the Xuan Sect -"

Jiang Jie straightened his body slightly, so Master Cui stopped talking.

"Wait a minute. Kong Xu, you said Li Wuxiang went to Jiuzhu Peak after coming up?"

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Jie nodded: "Then let's wait for Qiu Lu to bring him over."

Jianzhu Cui turned to look at him and said, "Brother, Junior Sister Mei...you are waiting for Junior Sister Mei to bring him here? You are harming her. Junior Sister Mei should have achieved Yang Godhood long ago. I am not as good as her, but I can see that she is stuck at this stage of her own character. This character of hers led her to bring Lou He into the sect and cause trouble. This time she also led Li Wuxiang into the sect, and now it seems that she has ulterior motives."

"Master, if Junior Sister Mei didn't bring him this time and told him to leave, wouldn't you be asking her to become a demon?"

Jiang Jie just said: "Wait a little longer."

"What about the Eastern Emperor Seal? Shouldn't we go find it right away?"

"Wait a minute."

Master Cui exhaled and closed his eyes.

Kong Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, I will take a few brothers to Jiuzhu Peak. It's not because of the broken palm. I just feel that the more I think about it, the more wrong it is."

"Lou He also abandoned his own cultivation to come to the sect. That was a self-torture tactic. Li Wuxiang killed the True Form Sect's walker when he was building his foundation, and caused chaos in the coffin city before forming his elixir. We heard about it before and only felt very impressed. But now I think, is it still a self-torture tactic of the True Form Sect?"

His words moved many disciples in the hall, and some of them spoke up: "Yes, Senior Brother Jiang, no one distrusts Senior Sister Mei, but Li Wuxiang. Senior Sister Mei is kind-hearted. If she is deceived by the True Form Sect and lets him go by mistake, wouldn't that become her inner demon? Senior Brother Cui is right, you might have harmed Senior Sister Mei!"

Someone else said, "Master, we are not going to arrest Li Wuxiang in front of Senior Sister Mei. We are just going to watch from afar. If something happens, we can prevent her from making a big mistake!"

Jiang Jie lowered his eyes and was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from outside the hall: "Senior Brother Jiang, I'm here with Junior Brother Li."

Everyone was stunned, turned around to look back and made way.

Mei Qiulu walked in front and Li Wuxiang walked behind, and the two walked into the hall.

Jiang Jie nodded: "Qiu Lu, please take a seat first. It's good that you're here. We just want to ask Li Wuxiang something."

But Mei Zhangjian just took a step aside and said, "Brother, I won't sit here for now. If you ask me anything that I can't deny the blame for, I can't stay in Youjiuyuan anymore, and I can't be a swordsman anymore. I'm not worthy of my cultivation. I'd better wait a while."

Jianzhu Cui suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Mei Zhangjian, then turned to look at Li Wuxiang: "No one in the sect wants Mei Zhangjian's words to come true. Li Wuxiang, since you dare to come, we are relieved. Now I want to ask you a few questions, can you answer them one by one?"

The hall was extremely quiet, and everyone was looking at Li Wuxiang.

He sighed and bowed to Sword Master Cui: "Brother Cui, I want to say that you can ask as many questions as you want and I will answer them all, but unfortunately I can't say that."

Then he looked at Jiang Jie and said, "Master, I have a lot to say, but I can only tell you. Can we go somewhere else to talk?"

Master Cui slapped the armrest and said, "We are as close as brothers and sisters in the sect. If you have a clear conscience, is there anything you can't say here? "

Li Wuxiang sighed again: "I'm afraid of scaring people."

"You are so arrogant!" someone shouted angrily, "What in the world can scare us!?"

Jiang Jie thought about it and raised his hand: "Okay, Li Wuxiang, come with me."

He stood up and walked to the back of the hall. Li Wuxiang turned around, saluted the swordsmen in the hall, and followed him.

There was a courtyard behind the main hall. Jiang Jie walked to the courtyard and stopped. He raised his hand and pressed it down, then turned around and said, "Now I am the only one in the world who can hear what you say." "Then what about Lingshan?"

Jiang Jie smiled and said, "Even if the Five Mountains Emperor's clone descended upon the world right now, it would still take some effort."

Li Wuxiang exhaled slowly: "Okay. Let me think about where to start."

He was silent for a moment. "There is an external evil in me. Ranshan Sect Master Zhao Kui once captured a group of children and trained them in a Taoist temple to become a Qingnang Immortal. I am one of those children."

"Then I discovered the external evil in me. It never told me who it was. At first it just gave me feelings, then it told me to talk to myself. Later, when I was desperate in the coffin city and asked it for help, it demonstrated its methods and helped me escape."

Li Wuxiang went to see Jiang Jie, but there was no surprise on his face. He just thought for a moment and said, "You want to ask him for help?"

"It's not a plea, it's a threat. I threatened it that if it doesn't help me, we'll die together. Of course, I may not be able to threaten it."

Jiang Jie smiled and said, "That's good enough. Please continue."

"The method it demonstrated was to have me directly possess the body of a palace soldier in Coffin City. The soldier's past and present lives all unfolded before my eyes in an instant, and then I felt like I had become him. It also asked me to look at it, but I couldn't tell if I was looking at it or not. I couldn't understand what I saw, but I had only one very certain thought in my mind - that was Taiyi."

"Oh, there's one more thing." Li Wuxiang added, "I have a friend in Lingshan. One time, we devised a plan. When the evil spirit was looking for me, he watched from the side. He said he saw it, and it was indeed Taiyi, exactly the same as the statues worshipped in the world. He said that whatever is in Lingshan is what it is, so that thing should be Taiyi."

He stopped and looked at Jiang Jie again.

Jiang Jie's expression became more serious. He put his hands behind his back and took two slow steps. "They asked me to go to Jiuzhu Peak to get you, but I didn't agree. I thought that if you were from the True Form Sect, your Senior Sister Mei should be able to control you. Even if she is possessed by a demon, no matter where you go, it would only take me a thought to get you."

He stopped to look at Li Wuxiang and nodded: "You know I have the Taiyi Spirit in me, and you told me all this, Junior Brother Li, you did a great job. I believe you are not a spy of the True Form Sect."

"As for what your friend said, it is also correct. But it is like someone saying that people will naturally die when they get old. For the vast majority of the 80 million people in the world today, this is an iron law. But the person who said this may not have seen a cultivator, so he does not know that some of the cultivators can transcend life and death."

Li Wuxiang was stunned: "Master, are you saying..."

"Some very powerful things will also call themselves Taiyi and look like Taiyi. The one in you may not be Taiyi's true spirit. Taiyi is different from the other six emperors. He is suppressed. We cannot communicate with his true spirit, but can only borrow some power and magical powers temporarily..." Jiang Jie was silent for a while, "But I can't say that what I feel is right. True Immortals and Golden Immortals may have some methods that I can't understand. Please continue."

"Okay." Li Wuxiang felt a little relieved. "Then I came to Youjiuyuan, wanting to find Wansui to save Zeng Jianqiu and Pan Muyun. Li Ke took me to the lower world, and then something happened. Now that I think about it, I don't know if the Li Ke who came to tell me about Wansui last night was still Li Ke. Maybe the evil spirit used the same method on him at that time, and replaced him to lead me to find Wansui."

"Then, I used Li Ke as a sacrifice, and that thing came to me... I can't understand why it came to me? Isn't it said that the stronger this kind of thing is, the harder it is to come into this world?"

"Because the Netherworld is not considered part of the living world," Jiang Jie said, "They can't really go to the living world, but they might be able to stay in the Netherworld for a while. So, this thing is gradually leading you to the Netherworld and asking you to bring it into the Netherworld."

"Yes, I thought so too. And I think it led me to Youjiuyuan for the jade seal of the lower world. But another thing I can't figure out is that it deliberately plotted against me, but in the end, it brought me back to my senses because of the lack of energy in my body. How could it make such a mistake? Why didn't it use the energy in my body?"

Jiang Jie answered him like a gentle teacher: "No one or anything in the world is omnipotent. Even if you become a Golden Immortal and master the laws of heaven and earth, it is the same, just like Donghuang Taiyi cannot interfere with the alternation of day and night."

"People, even mortals, may look weak in front of spirits, but their lives cannot be taken away at will. The external evil is in you, and if you are more vigilant against it, it will not be able to take your energy. Therefore, when you enter each sect, you will be told not to look, listen, or think. It is very rare for you to be able to do this."

"As for the jade seal you mentioned, that is, the East Emperor Seal--" Jiang Jie sighed, "It was not originally intended to take the East Emperor Seal. It can't lift that thing. It just wants you to touch it. Kong Xu told me what happened afterwards. He touched the East Emperor Seal. It's not his fault. Few people can keep their spirits in front of the treasure of humanity. Your character is much better than his."

Li Wuxiang asked: "Then..."

"I was the one who put the East Emperor Seal there to suppress You Jiuyuan between the Netherworld and the Holy Mountain, and to prevent the old sects of the Ye Dynasty from dispersing." Jiang Jie said, "Now that it has been touched, the Xuan Sect should know where You Jiuyuan is."

Li Wuxiang couldn't help but take a breath: "Then——"

Jiang Jie smiled and said, "It will happen sooner or later, so I didn't say much when your Senior Sister Mei killed two more Lords of Coffin City. If it's not today, it will only take another ten years, which won't make any difference. However, the sect disciples in You Jiuyuan still have more than ten days to travel far away - they know where it is, but it will still take some time to find it."

He was silent for a moment, then took three steps forward: "I often say that many things should be judged by deeds rather than by heart, but there are also some things that need to be viewed the other way around. Li Wuxiang, I have a question for you, and you must answer it sincerely."

"it is good."

"If you don't think that it's Taiyi who's on you, but some other external evil, then after seeing what Zeng Jianqiu, Pan Muyun, Mei Qiulu and the others are like, would you still hide this matter when you come to the sect again?"

Li Wuxiang thought about it seriously: "If it has been helping me all along and I feel it is gentle and kind, I will. But if it is like now and I feel that its actions are no longer very pleasant and it may really be an evil spirit, then I will not hide it and will want Senior Sister Mei or you to help me."

Jiang Jie nodded: "Okay, then this matter is over, Kong Xu didn't make a mistake. At least, no one in the sect was harmed by today's incident. Now let's talk about the evil spirit in you. If you want to get rid of it, it won't be difficult for me."

Li Wuxiang was stunned.

It’s not because Jiang Jie said that this matter is not difficult to handle, but because——

He turned his thoughts, considered his words, and asked carefully: "Brother Jiang, Brother Li Ke, what should I do about this?"

"We need to first figure out what it is," Jiang Jie said, "and then there are two ways. One is to hide you, and the other is to get rid of it. The first method is easy and quick, but it can only solve the problem temporarily. When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can no longer hide it. The second method takes a little more effort and time, but it will eliminate the problem forever. It depends on which one you want to choose."

Li Wuxiang's heart sank, and he didn't answer for a while.

Or rather, dare not answer.

Because Jiang Jie couldn't hear anything about "Li Ke". He remembered that whenever he mentioned "Li Ke" before, he didn't get a response from Jiang Jie.

The method used by the external evil to take over another's body is to completely erase a person and also erase him from other people's cognition?

But how could Lou know that the reason he could hear himself say this was because he was the Qing Nang Immortal and, like himself, was no longer a mortal of this world?
If even Jiang Jie couldn't see through this trick, how could he believe that Jiang Jie could deal with it! ? How could he dare to answer! ?
Li Wuxiang felt as if his heart had fallen into an icy cave...

He thought he had finally found hope after mustering up his courage. But...wasn't the Yangshen Sect Leader of the Donghuang Taiyi Sect, the Ludi Sword Immortal, also a match for that foreign evil? ?
