Since this matter was extremely strange and full of doubts, Qin Beixuan always felt that those who joined hands with Chaos must be absolutely obedient, or they would surely die.
But how did Chaos know who was disobedient?
There were too many doubts. Qin Beixuan rubbed his temples. He had already sent an urgent spiritual message to his master. His master should arrive in less than half a day.
Maybe Ji Qingchen knew more.
Then Qin Beixuan looked at Zhao Chen'an, who had been listless since yesterday. The latter was sitting by the lotus pond, absent - mindedly feeding the fish.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Qin Beixuan's head. The red - clothed boy in his memory overlapped with Zhao Chen'an in front of him.
Qin Beixuan closed his eyes and shook his head violently, but the memory kept haunting his mind uncontrollably.
The boy in the memory and Zhao Chen'an both looked up and said simultaneously:
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Come quickly to your foster father."
"Foster father..." Qin Beixuan murmured to himself, "No, it's An'er."
"Huh?" Zhao Chen'an couldn't hear clearly what Qin Beixuan was saying. "Senior brother, what are you talking about?"
Qin Beixuan suddenly came back to his senses and quickly shook his head. "It's nothing. Maybe I'm too tired and having hallucinations."
Zhao Chen'an hurriedly leaned in front of Qin Beixuan and asked curiously, "What kind of hallucinations? Tell me, senior brother~"
Looking at Zhao Chen'an's face so close, Qin Beixuan's heart skipped a beat. "I saw you, and I called you 'foster father'."
Zhao Chen'an's mind exploded.
This was so similar to the dream he had the other day. He also dreamed that Qin Beixuan called him foster father!!
This couldn't be just a hallucination... Could there be something between him and Qin Beixuan that they didn't know about?
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Zhao Chen'an's train of thought.
"Two immortal masters, the Purple Star Immortal Venerable is here. Please move to the main hall."
Zhao Chen'an said, "Okay, lead the way."
He thought to himself that he had to figure out this dream when he had time.
In the main hall of Lianhua Mountain, Ji Qingchen was sitting on the high seat. His white robe was spotless, and he looked like an immortal who had stepped into the mortal world.
Seeing his two disciples coming, Ji Qingchen slightly parted his thin lips and said, "Just now I have examined Young Master Wan's body."
Qin Beixuan asked hesitantly, "Did master find anything?"
Ji Qingchen said word by word, "The Nether Puppet Curse."
"The Nether Puppet Curse..." Zhao Chen'an was shocked. "Wasn't it sealed with Chaos hundreds of years ago?!"
"Exactly," Ji Qingchen said gravely. "Chaos's real body is far in the wild land and cannot remotely control puppets. The Nether Puppet Curse is a forbidden technique. If left unchecked, there will surely be a great catastrophe in the cultivation world."
Indeed, there was a traitor in the cultivation world. The Nether Puppet Curse was originally a witchcraft. Back then, Chaos had massacred half of the cultivation world with witchcraft, and the Phoenix Divine Lord Qiu Chang had also ordered a strict ban on the practice of witchcraft.
Now that the Nether Puppet Curse had reappeared, what kind of bloodshed would it stir up...
"However, master, isn't the forbidden book of the Nether Puppet Curse sealed in the library of Purple Star Mountain?" Qin Beixuan said seriously.
Ji Qingchen stood up, straightened his clothes, and explained, "I have already ordered your uncles to conduct a strict investigation of the library. The Phoenix Thunder Tribulation is approaching. The third Phoenix Seal must not have any mishaps. You two follow me back to Purple Star Mountain immediately."
Zhao Chen'an and Qin Beixuan said in unison, "Your disciple obeys."
Ji Qingchen bowed to Jiang Qionglan beside him and said, "My two young disciples have caused trouble for the sect master here. I'll take them back."
Jiang Qionglan quickly helped Ji Qingchen up. "Immortal Venerable, you're being too polite. I'm busy with family affairs now, so I'm afraid I can't see you off far."
"It doesn't matter," Ji Qingchen said seriously. "I hope the sect master will mourn properly. I'll take my leave first."
Zhao Chen'an and the others followed Ji Qingchen all the way back to Purple Star Mountain by flying on their swords. Now there was a barrier set up on Purple Star Mountain. No one who was not a disciple of Purple Star Mountain was allowed to go up the mountain.
It showed that the rules were strict. Ji Qingchen was also worried about the matter of Chaos.
Ji Qingchen stopped and said to his two disciples behind him, "The Phoenix Thunder Tribulation will come in a few days. Zhu Heyu is now recuperating in Gu Xi's residence. I and the elders still have important matters to discuss. You two go down first."
Zhao Chen'an and Qin Beixuan said in unison, "Your disciple obeys."
Ji Qingchen saw the jade pendant on Qin Beixuan's waist, his expression froze for a moment, and he joked with a smile, "Xuanxuan, do you have someone you like?"
What the hell was Xuanxuan?
Zhao Chen'an was holding back his laughter.
Seeing that Qin Beixuan was blushing slightly while looking at Zhao Chen'an and didn't answer, Ji Qingchen immediately understood. He let out two hearty laughs and said meaningfully, "The grass beside the nest is the sweetest. Master understands~ I'll also ask Gu Xi to give me a Concentric Jade later."
Gu Xi: "………"
After saying that, he left using the Qiankun Shift, not giving them any chance to react.
Sure enough, a master was a master.
Zhao Chen'an sighed with emotion in his heart.
But why did the Concentric Jade sound a bit familiar?
Zhao Chen'an had no choice but to ask Qin Beixuan puzzledly, "Senior brother, what is the Concentric Jade? It sounds a bit familiar, but I just can't remember where I saw it."
Qin Beixuan raised his eyebrows. He had already understood his own feelings for a long time, so he had no scruples when it came to Zhao Chen'an. He bent down to look into the latter's eyes and said slowly word by word, "A white circular jade pendant made of Concentric Jade. It is given to the one you love, symbolizing that you will grow old together and be a loving couple for life."
Zhao Chen'an looked down at the white circular jade pendant on Qin Beixuan's body, then looked at Qin Beixuan: "………"
This, it looked so similar!
Qin Beixuan looked at Zhao Chen'an affectionately and was about to confess his feelings: "So, An'er, you..."
"Boom——"
Before Qin Beixuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by several dull thunderclaps in the sky.
The thunder came with purple lightning, and it was menacing. It was obviously an extraordinary thunder.
A thought flashed through Zhao Chen'an's mind. This was the Phoenix Thunder Tribulation!
But Zhu Heyu's birthday hadn't come yet. Why did the Phoenix Thunder Tribulation suddenly descend...
The sky became more and more overcast. Dull rumbles came from the thick clouds. There was always an illusion that the thunder tribulation was about to descend.
Zhao Chen'an looked up at the faintly visible purple lightning in the sky and sighed in his heart, "Purple lightning. If it strikes, it'll surely kill someone..."
"Boom——"
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the sky, forming a powerful spiritual airflow. This airflow didn't head towards the medical center on Purple Star Mountain, but rushed straight towards Zhao Chen'an!
"???"
The airflow formed a barrier, separating Qin Beixuan and Zhao Chen'an. This Phoenix Thunder Tribulation seemed to be particularly narrow - minded and didn't want to strike anyone else. Dozens of thunderbolts all fell on Zhao Chen'an!
The thunderbolts hitting Zhao Chen'an were so painful that it felt like his internal organs were about to explode. Moreover, he seemed to feel a scorching flame burning inside him inch by inch.
"Aaaah——"
Zhao Chen'an lay on the ground, roaring hoarsely. It was so, so painful!!
Who could explain to him why all the thunderbolts were striking him without any deviation!!!
