    Chapter 16

    Tan Zhui successfully returned to the Nine Heavens with the two of them.

    Si Feng’s eyes immediately reddened upon seeing his fellow disciples.

    His junior brother also noticed him immediately, waving his hand, “Senior Brother! Eldest Senior Brother!”

    The disciples of the Hundred Phoenix Sect immediately surrounded him, checking his condition.

    Seeing that everyone was alright, the Little Immortal Peilan finally relaxed.

    Yue Shanglan noticed Tan Zhui, and also the ashen-faced youth in his arms.

    The young man’s face was pale, his cheeks covered in fine sweat, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was in great pain.

    The young man’s hand was clutching the White Deer Immortal’s sleeve tightly, and traces of blood remained on his pale lips.

    Yue Shanglan also noticed the mangled flesh on Tan Zhui’s hand, obviously bitten by someone.

    Yue Shanglan looked shocked, “Ah Zhui, what happened to Little Chunsheng?”

    Tan Zhui carried the person to the Elder of the Heavenly Medicine Sect and said softly, “Elder Zhou You, please help examine my beloved disciple.”

    Elder Zhou You looked down and immediately went forward to help check his pulse.

    Yong Lan also came over, “What happened to Little Immortal Furong?”

    Si Feng couldn’t help but look over.

    Everyone’s eyes were on Elder Zhou You, waiting for his conclusion.

    After examining the pulse for a long time, Zhou You reached out and pulled open the young man’s collar, revealing his chest.

    Sure enough, the young man’s chest was filled with chaos, surrounded by a layer of black aura.

    Someone shouted, “It’s the aura of the Xiu Luo!”

    “There’s the aura of Xiu Luo within Little Immortal Furong!”

    Tan Zhui’s face darkened, and he asked Zhou You, “Elder, what is the situation?”

    Elder Zhou You’s expression was serious, “There is indeed the aura of Xiu Luo within the Little Immortal’s body. I don’t know when it was injected, but right now the Little Immortal is trapped in a nightmare, which is the influence of this aura.”

    Tan Zhui: “Is there a way to draw out this aura now?”

    Elder Zhou You pondered and finally shook his head.

    “I have just examined it; this aura has penetrated deep into the Immortal Marrow. It has been in the Little Immortal’s body for a long time and has completely taken control of the Little Immortal’s body and is now trying to take it over.”

    Yue Shanglan couldn’t help but say, “Listening to this, isn’t it very similar to a demon soul?”

    Si Feng: “Demon souls are only for High Gods, the pampered ghost is not an adult yet.”

    Elder Zhou You pondered for a moment, “That’s right. This is not a demon soul, but it is comparable to one. This is the remnant soul of a Xiu Luo Clan leader. Although it doesn’t have its original consciousness, taking over is the nature of the Xiu Luo, and this cannot be stopped.”

    Tan Zhui: “Can you make my beloved disciple wake up first?”

    Elder Zhou You: “I will try acupuncture.”

    As he spoke, Elder Zhou You took out a silver needle. After a moment of acupuncture, the young man’s brows seemed to twitch, and his eyelids also fluttered.

    Tan Zhui subconsciously called out, “Ah Sheng!”

    The next second, the young man suddenly opened his eyes.

    Before he could react, the young man threw himself at Tan Zhui like a hungry wolf.

    Everyone was startled.

    Yue Shanglan quickly stepped forward to stop him, “Ah Zhui! How are you?!”

    The young man seemed completely out of control, and black aura surged out of his body uncontrollably. He straddled the White Deer Immortal, both hands tightly gripping the White Deer Immortal’s neck.

    Tan Zhui felt a brief moment of suffocation, “Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, you…”

    The Heavenly Lord arrived late, and immediately upon seeing this scene, he shouted, “What kind of behavior is this! Someone! Someone! Quickly pull him away!”

    When he noticed the black aura surrounding the young man, the Heavenly Lord’s face turned pale, and he added, “Knock him out! Knock him out first!”

    Tan Zhui gritted his teeth, his voice a bit hoarse, “Don’t come over! Don’t come over! I…I’ll calm him down…”

    At the White Deer Immortal’s order, the heavenly soldiers who were about to rush up froze in place, and the immortal sects also stood still, not daring to approach.

    Tan Zhui grabbed the young man’s arm and used a clever move to break free, then flipped over to subdue him.

    Thus, everyone saw the elegant White Deer Immortal go from being pinned down to pinning the other person down.

    The Heavenly Lord almost fainted, exclaiming, “What kind of behavior! What kind of behavior is this!”

    Elder Zhou You, whose ears were hurting from the shock, couldn’t help but say, “Heavenly Lord, please calm down. The Immortal Lord cherishes his disciple, and not being willing to strike a fatal blow is understandable. Besides, those afflicted by the aura of Xiu Luo indeed cannot be stimulated.”

    Elder Zhou You’s words made sense, but the scene in front of them was indeed a bit too… unrestrained.

    The disciples on the side stretched their necks to look, after all, such a sight was rare.

    The Heavenly Lord couldn’t bear to look, anxiously jumping around twice, before finally choosing to turn a blind eye and wave his sleeve, turning his back.

    Then, Yue Shanglan shouted, “Ah Zhui, be careful!”

    Everyone’s eyes focused there, only to see that the young man, with an unknown source of strength, suddenly struggled up from the ground and lunged at the White Deer Immortal.

    He seemed to let out a low growl, biting the White Deer Immortal’s neck.

    Tan Zhui was truly a bit angry now, finally willing to use a spell to knock the person back eight hundred meters.

    Everyone was dumbfounded.

    What was going on?

    Even Zhou You, who had said that “the White Deer Immortal loves his disciple deeply and is unwilling to kill him,” was stunned.

    Fortunately, the young man who had been knocked back eight hundred meters and directly smashed into a pillar slowly woke up.

    Sui Chunsheng felt sore all over and climbed up from the ground.

    He then met the White Deer Immortal’s somewhat resentful gaze.

    And everyone else’s dumbstruck expressions.

    Sui Chunsheng was confused, “Wh…what happened?”

    After a long while, confirming that Little Immortal Furong had returned to normal.

    Elder Zhou You was the first to speak, “You were trapped just now, how are you feeling now? Does anything hurt?”

    As he spoke, he went forward to help the young man up.

    Upon being asked, the young man went to check and winced.

    Sui Chunsheng: “I think everything hurts.”

    Zhou You: “Haha, it’s normal, you were knocked back eight hundred meters, it would be weird if nothing hurt.”

    Sui Chunsheng: “?”

    Zhou You quickly waved his hand, “It’s not important, let me check your pulse again, Little Immortal.”

    Sui Chunsheng had not recovered yet, but he obediently followed Zhou You to the side.

    The White Deer Immortal had already stood still, adjusted his disheveled clothes, and his face was as calm as usual, showing no signs of abnormality.

    Until Sui Chunsheng noticed the teeth marks on his neck, which had been bitten until it was bruised and revealed some bloody marks.

    He tilted his head, puzzled, “Master, what’s on your…”

    Tan Zhui’s expression did not change, “It’s nothing, I was bitten by a dog.”

    Sui Chunsheng blinked his eyes, completely puzzled.

    “Why would the Shepherd Immortal’s dogs bite people…”

    The Shepherd Immortal, who was sleeping in a tree not far away, sneezed in his sleep.

    The Heavenly Lord, who had turned his back for who knows how long while he composed himself, finally turned around.

    “Where did the Xiu Luo aura in Little Immortal Furong’s body come from?” The Heavenly Lord cleared his throat.

    After a brief examination, Elder Zhou You said, “I don’t know.”

    “In short, it’s been there for quite a while, nearly a month. The exact time cannot be confirmed.”

    Only now did Sui Chunsheng react, “Is there something in my body?”

    Tan Zhui glanced at him, seemingly comforting him, “It’s just a demon soul, no need to worry.”

    Anyone who heard this would say that it’s easy for him to say, just a demon soul.

    But the person who said this was the White Deer Immortal, an ancient divine lord from the Nine Heavens.

    These words took on a different meaning.

    It had a certain persuasiveness.

    Elder Zhou You: “It’s stabilized now, but we can’t guarantee when it will flare up next time. This is a great test for the Little Immortal’s mind.”

    As he spoke, he sighed. “If not careful, it’s a bottomless abyss.”

    Sui Chunsheng lowered his eyes. His gaze fell on the moonlight colored sleeves, which were stained with spots of blood, and the deep teeth marks on the White Deer Immortal’s tiger’s mouth.

    He seemed to understand.

    Sui Chunsheng asked tentatively, “Master, was this…me?”

    Tan Zhui glanced at him, and with a wave of his sleeve, he hid his palm in the moonlight.

    “It’s nothing, just a small wound.”

    The Heavenly Lord thought it over and spoke, “Since Furong has such a thing in his body, it is also a hidden danger. It would be better to let him stay in the Nine Heavens.”

    “Let the Medicine Immortal take care of him and try to extract the demon soul from him.”

    Tan Zhui’s face darkened when he heard the latter half of the sentence. “Little Furong has grown up by my side since childhood. Now that he has encountered such a thing, how can I let others take care of him?”

    Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng: “Divine Lord, the Medicine Immortal is already the most skilled physician in the Nine Heavens, and he is also whom I trust the most. With him taking care of Furong, you don’t need to worry…”

    But halfway through his words, he was interrupted by the White Deer Immortal, “How could I not worry?”

    The atmosphere became a bit awkward for a moment.

    The surroundings instantly fell silent.

    Elder Zhou You couldn’t help but say, “Oh, this is not a big deal, how about letting me do it! My Heavenly Medicine Sect is only separated from Fangcun Mountain by the Hundred Phoenix Sect, it’s very close! Then White Deer Immortal can also stay in the Heavenly Medicine Sect.”

    As soon as these words came out, the others’ tense nerves also relaxed.

    Yong Lan immediately said, “Yes, our Kunlun Void is also very close to the Heavenly Medicine Sect. If Little Immortal Furong is at the Heavenly Medicine Sect, I can often go to play with him!”

    Yue Shanglan, however, knocked his forehead, “All you know is playing.”

    Now, Yong Lan noticed Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng’s face, and immediately closed his mouth.

    Following that, an immortal spoke, “The aura in his body is not a demon soul at all, but the remnant soul of a former Xiu Luo leader!”

    “Although it has lost consciousness, it is still the root of disaster. If we allow him to move freely among the immortal sects, what should we do if something happens one day?”

    Si Feng narrowed his phoenix eyes, “Then what do you say we should do?”

    The immortal said, “The Heavenly Lord should keep him under surveillance, otherwise…”

    “Shut up.” Si Feng’s eyes darkened, and then he said, “What kind of bullshit are you spouting?”

    The immortal did not expect to be attacked by a junior like this, his face turning livid, “Is this how Dan Yang taught you!”

    Si Feng: “What kind of thing are you, daring to call my ancestor by his name directly!”

    Dan Yang, on the side, waved the horsetail whisk in his hand, his smile unchanging.

    But the immortal stuttered and dared not speak anymore.

    Si Feng glanced at him contemptuously, “This wasn’t the pampered ghost’s wish. It’s clearly someone else’s doing, yet you want to lock up the pampered ghost, what kind of nonsense is that!”

    “Am I wrong?”

    His phoenix eyes looked around, and no one spoke.

    Finally, the White Deer Immortal opened his mouth, “I hope everyone can give me a chance, I will try my best to find a way to remove this power.”

    As if feeling that these words were too grand, Tan Zhui finally raised his eyes.

    “If necessary, I will sacrifice myself to resolve this power.”

    A cry of alarm erupted from the crowd, and the young man on the side widened his eyes.

    “Master…”

    On this day, the White Deer Immortal’s expression was serious, seemingly not joking.

    He would also use this lifetime to prove that these words were absolutely not a joke.
