Chapter 238: Trapped Again
"Oh no! Uncle-master has fallen into an inner demon!" Ye Lan revealed Murong Li's predicament in one sentence, and quickly sent a message to Fu Yifan, asking him to think of a solution together.
As an outstanding disciple of the Tianjian Sect, Ye Lan knew very well that the only one who could defeat the inner demon was Chu Yu himself. All she and Fu Yifan could do now was just to assist.
At the critical moment, Fu Yifan and Ye Lan worked together to start awakening Murong Li who was trapped in self-proving thinking.
Fu Yifan supported Ye Lan and slowly stood up. Seeing that Ye Lan's condition was gradually stabilizing, he shouted loudly at Murong Li, trying to attract his attention.
"Uncle Master! No! We believe in your character!" said Fu Yifan.
"Uncle Master, we are also willing to believe you." Ye Lan said lightly.
Seeing that Murong Li was unmoved, Fu Yifan and Ye Lan looked at each other and took a few steps back. People who are possessed by mental demons may go crazy at any time, so Fu Yifan began his affectionate speech outside a safe range from Murong Li.
"Over the years, the disciples of Tianjian Sect have remembered everything you have done for them. Have you forgotten? When we went out for training, you took the initiative to lead the team and guided the disciples in the right direction. When there was a martial arts competition, you told the disciples to focus on learning from each other and to always remember to stop at the right time and not to be ruthless. When there was a change in the sect, you took the initiative to take on the task of defending against external enemies?"
Seeing that Murong Li was touched, Fu Yifan continued:
"You also said that the Tianjian Sect is your home. As long as you are alive, no one can run wild in the Tianjian Sect!"
"In the eyes of us disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, you are just not good at speaking. You may look distant and cold on the outside, but in your heart you have a heart that loves the Heavenly Sword Sect. You are definitely not a cold and heartless person."
"Uncle Murong, we admire you because you truly love the Tianjian Sect, cherish the wings of the Tianjian Sect, and always consider the disciples, not because you are the elder of the Tianjian Sect!"
As Fu Yifan expressed his deep feelings, Murong Li's eyes gradually became clear and bright again. As if waking up from a dream, he stretched his long beard and laughed:
"It seems that I am really old and have to admit that I am old! My mind seems to have become much more fragile. A few words of deception can easily make people lose their minds and even fall into the devil's heart. I never thought that there would be a time when I would be infected by the enthusiasm of the younger generation and gain self-recognition. Not only that, I was actually scolded by the younger generation one day."
As he spoke, Murong Li pretended to be angry and snorted a few words: "I am also a Yuanying ancestor after all. The young people nowadays don't know their place and are too bold. Fu boy, remember to accept your punishment when you go back."
Fu Yifan was stunned for a moment when he was named, and then struggled:
"Um, Uncle Master, can you ..."
Murong Li smiled, then stopped smiling and rejected him with a stern face.
"No, don't I have any face?"
"Okay, uncle." Fu Yifan immediately frowned and replied reluctantly.
All this happened naturally under Chu Yu's eyes. Seeing Murong Li overcome his inner demons so easily, he felt jealous and forced himself to force a twisted smile, which made his face look very scary.
"Chu Yu, I'm sorry, your wish has failed." Murong Li turned to Chu Yu and spread his hands, seemingly casually, but in fact he was provoking the other party.
Chu Yu was naturally not a pushover. If the mental attack failed, wouldn't he continue with the physical attack? One of them would work. Chu Yu was so confident.
"It doesn't matter. I'll just put in more effort." Chu Yu replied.
The three thought Chu Yu didn't care about Murong Li's provocation, but before they could react, the other party attacked from the side. Chu Yu's mouth continued to emit devil energy, and in a moment, the devil energy soared into the sky, surrounding the three people in a circle.
The spiritual energy in the cave was already very thin, and now that it was shrouded in evil energy, the three of them had no chance to breathe.
At this point, Ye Lan and Fu Yifan hurriedly moved closer to Murong Li. The three of them formed a circle and worked together to cast a spell to create a simple barrier, hoping to hold out for a while.
The three of them couldn't think of any good solution for the time being. Ye Lan's current state was not suitable for fighting. To put it bluntly, she was a burden. She knew very well that she was a burden, so she immediately suggested:
"Uncle, Junior Brother, I will cover you. You can use your killing moves to rush out at any time. Don't worry about me."
"How can this be possible, Senior Sister!" Fu Yifan was the first to disagree and interrupted, "If Senior Sister has forgotten, I can reiterate that I will never leave your side again! Let's live together and die together!"
Ye Lan hesitated and wanted to persuade him, but seeing Fu Yifan's determined eyes and attitude, he didn't know what to say.
However, Murong Li had a solemn expression on his face. He sent a message to the two of them, bringing them even more despairing news.
"I'm sorry. In fact, I've also been deeply poisoned by the evil poison. My dantian is now empty. The best plan now is to run away. But I have no spiritual energy now. There is no need for me to say much about Ye Lan's condition. Only kid Fu has a chance to escape." After saying that, Murong Li couldn't help but sigh.
"No, Uncle Master, I will not abandon you no matter what." Fu Yifan quickly reached out and held Ye Lan's hand tightly, fearing that she would do something stupid.
"I think so too." Murong Li looked at Fu Yifan deeply, his eyes full of regret.
"Then can we just do nothing and wait to die here?" Seeing that he could not convince Fu Yifan, Ye Lan had to compromise and suggested considering other countermeasures.
Several people remained silent.
Compared to the three desperate people, Chu Yu outside the barrier was extremely happy. After all, nothing could bring more pleasure than torturing them.
He was like a demon from the abyss of hell, his body had long been devoured by evil demonic energy. He was invisible and omnipresent, and evil and meanness were his bywords.
With just a snap of his fingers, Chu Yu could manipulate the magic energy freely. He treated the three people in the barrier as toys, and with a flick of his finger, the magic energy would hit the thin barrier, but would not destroy it, causing the mice to fall into fear.
Chu Yu found it extremely interesting to see Murong Li and the other two jumping up and down in order to repair the barrier. Now, he only needed to apply a little external force and the barely maintained barrier would collapse in an instant. But Chu Yu didn't want to do that. He just wanted to tease them back and forth between hope and despair. He had the power to control other people's life and death. This was the attitude of a superior.
During this period, Murong Li and the other two were exhausted by Chu Yu's methods. Chu Yu was also very satisfied with their performance and decided to give them a chance to catch their breath and stop teasing them.
"I can't do it anymore. This Chu Yu is simply a devil." Currently, he is the only one who can complete the task of repairing the barrier. After being played around by Chu Yu for a long time, Fu Yifan is exhausted.
"Please bear with it a little longer, Junior Brother." Ye Lan saw it but was powerless to do anything. His eyes were full of pity for Fu Yifan.
"Either explode in silence or die in silence."
"Uncle Master, what do you mean?"
Murong smiled mysteriously and communicated with the two again.
"Thanks to Fu kid for attracting Chu Yu's attention, I came up with a brilliant countermeasure. You just need to follow my instructions..."
After saying that, the two nodded carefully.
"Whether it can succeed depends on Fu's performance." Murong patted Fu Yifan's shoulder lightly and left a heartfelt word.
Fu Yifan was under a lot of pressure at this time, but Murong Li's words brought them new hope, and it was difficult for them not to choose to give it another try.
A thunderous voice suddenly sounded in the quiet cave, attracting all Chu Yu's attention.
"You are despicable and shameless! I've had enough!" Fu Yifan, who was originally slumped on the ground, stood up at some point and yelled at Chu Yu viciously.
"How can a person who is in the evil way have any sense of shame?" Chu Yu said shamelessly.
"If you want to kill a Taoist, just kill him. What's the point of this! Is it fun to tease us like guinea pigs?"
Chu Yu understood the implication of Fu Yifan's words.
"Want to die? I just don't want you to. Not everyone can fall to the ground so cleanly with a thud like Rong Zhao. His punishment will naturally be borne by those who are close to him."
"You are just trying to accuse me of something, and you can always find a pretext for it!"
