Chapter 180 Brothers
Shi Tian was stunned and had no time to react before he was pressed down from the sky by the giant claw of the Nine-Headed Serpent, which was as solid as a physical object.
With a "boom," he was completely plunged into the ground, and countless bubbles burst in the sea, causing the distant Ling Yao to scream in alarm.
Li Ji's eyes widened in disbelief: "Nine Infants?? That senior is still alive??"
Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan, however, didn't care about anything else and quickly looked up in the direction of Mu Yunjian.
The red light gradually gathered and transformed into the phantom of the familiar Nine-Headed Serpent.
Mu Yunjian fainted the moment the cinnabar mark on her forehead lit up, and was caught by Wen Fuyue.
Wen Fuyue immediately recognized the black-clad man who had appeared out of nowhere as the Nine-Headed Serpent that Lingwei Sect had seen.
He felt a chill run down his spine, but out of concern for his disciple, he gritted his teeth and led Mu Yunjian to land and reunite with Yun Yici and the others.
The Emperor's nonchalant expression had vanished, replaced by apprehension as he looked at the Nine-Headed Serpent that had appeared out of nowhere.
He sensed that this phantom of the Nine-Headed Serpent was perhaps the most powerful demon he had ever seen since birth.
Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan were quite familiar with the Nine-Headed Serpent of the Lingwei Sect, so they were not so afraid.
Yun Yici tentatively asked, "Senior Jiuying, what brings you here?"
When they came out of the Rakshasa Illusion Sea, Jiuying stayed in the Rakshasa Illusion Sea with Shen Fengzhi.
Jiuying glanced at the unfilial descendant she had trampled into the ground before saying, "Sect Leader Shen, remember that I have protected Lingwei Sect for many years, and your senior brother is unable to fully refine my essence blood in a short time."
"Then Sect Leader Shen used my blood essence as a vessel, attaching my last consciousness to it, and let me return to the Demon Realm to take a look."
Shen Feng knew she couldn't leave, but she didn't hesitate to treat everyone she knew kindly.
Yun Yici recalled the magnificent phantom of the Nine-Headed Serpent during Mu Yunjian's tribulation, and her eyes lit up as she said, "So my senior brother also had a senior protecting him when he transformed?"
Jiuying said, "No, it's not that. His essence and blood fused very well with mine, and he even gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao. It was a lucky accident."
Seeing that Yun Yici and Jiuying were talking very familiarly, Li Ji couldn't help but say, "Senior, could you please spare Shitian for now? He is the grandson of your brother Chengdi."
Jiuying said, "I know, I heard everything."
Jiuying originally did not want to show himself; in his view, this was something that Muyunjian should find a way to solve himself.
Upon hearing that Shi Tian said his brother had gone to Lingwei Sect to look for him and saw his disheveled appearance, Jiu Ying dared not recognize him and thus could not help but reveal himself.
He harbored a hidden anger, for he had indeed been captured by cultivators from the Lingwei Sect at the beginning.
However, after spending more time with them, he found the sword cultivators of the Lingwei Sect to be much more interesting than the lesser demons of the demon realm, so he voluntarily stayed with the Lingwei Sect.
If he knew his brother was looking for him, he would definitely go back to the demon realm with him.
"Is this how my brother raised his descendants? What right do you have to interfere with my decisions?"
Let alone Shi Tian, even if his grandfather Cheng Di were alive, Cheng Di wouldn't have a say.
Li Ji was speechless for a moment. Looking at Shi Tian, who was being pressed to the ground, she explained, "That's not the case. Senior Cheng Di has always been very concerned about you."
"Even as he fell, he couldn't forget what happened back then. He regretted not going to see you, and he regretted not gathering his people to save you."
"Even now, Shitian's father has inherited his last wish and continues to search for your whereabouts in the human realm."
Jiuying's indifferent face showed no emotion, but Shitian, who was pressed into the ground, felt the pressure on his body gradually disappear.
Jiuying was truly going all out this time, just like he had done to Mu Yunjian, intending to spare his life.
Shi Tian was in excruciating pain all over his body; several of his bones had been broken by the pressure.
Nevertheless, Shi Tian climbed out of the pit. He spat out a mouthful of blood, stared intently at Jiu Ying's illusory form, and said, "The name of the War God Cheng Tian is indeed well-deserved."
Shi Tian always looked down on everyone, but he never expected that his elder, who had been dead for two thousand years, could kill him so easily with a mere phantom.
When Shi Tian saw Jiu Ying's blood-red eyes, he knew that Jiu Ying had retained the appearance he had when he died in battle.
At that moment, the inheritance and the demonic possessions no longer mattered; the call of his bloodline gave rise to a sense of responsibility and courage within him.
Shi Tian said, "I want to know what happened before you died."
Or rather, who exactly killed Chengtian?
Jiuying avoided answering, looking at Shitian who bore no resemblance to him, and said, "This is my last appearance in the world. I originally wanted to see your grandfather, but it seems he is no longer alive."
"Find a way to bring your father back. The human realm is a place where hidden talents abound, and it is not a place to stay for long."
"Also, don't make things difficult for that half-demon."
“If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to return to my homeland. I am already content. I gave my lifeblood willingly. Just pretend you don’t know about this.”
Just as Shi Tian was about to speak, he unexpectedly spat out another mouthful of blood. Li Ji quickly stepped forward to feed him a pill.
Li Ji said, "This is my fault. I advised Shi Tian but failed to stop him. We will apologize when that young friend wakes up."
After the Nine-Headed Serpent phantom appeared and spoke for a while, it began to show faint signs of dissipating.
Yun Yici felt a little upset. She wanted to ask Shen Fengzhi how he was doing, but she couldn't expose Shen Fengzhi's scheme in front of everyone.
Jiuying seemed to sense her thoughts and looked at Yun Yici indifferently: "Everything is fine in Lingwei Sect, and Sect Leader Shen is fine too, so there's no need to worry."
After Jiuying finished speaking, his figure turned into bubbles in the water. Shitian watched him disappear, and in his anxiety, he kept vomiting blood.
Li Ji said to the Emperor, "I wonder if it would be possible to first have the water spirit, who is skilled in medicine in our clan, come and examine Shi Tian and young friend Mu?"
The emperor reviewed the entire process and naturally responded to all requests.
Ling Wan shrank far to the side, thinking that Shi Tian had reverted to his original form and was fighting with Di Zhao and the others. She only came over when she heard Di Zhao summon her.
She stared in horror at Shi Tian, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood, before Li Shao arrived.
Regardless of distance or kinship, Li Shao would definitely look at the situation in Muyun first.
Yun Yici and the others looked at Mu Yunjian, who had fallen into a deep sleep, and found him to be alright.
Mu Yunjian seemed to be asleep, his breathing steady, unlike Shi Tian who had suffered severe internal injuries.
Li Shao said, "He must be exhausted."
After he finished speaking, he reached out as if to try to touch the cinnabar mark on Mu Yunjian's forehead, but after hovering in the air for a moment, he did not touch it.
"So this is actually the essence blood of the Nine-Headed Serpent. How miraculous! The appearance of the Nine-Headed Serpent exhausted all his demonic power, which is why he fell into a deep sleep. Let him rest a little longer."
"It will be fine once you wake up."
Wen Fuyue and her disciples were relieved and thanked Li Shao repeatedly.
After examining Mu Yunjian, Li Shao went to treat Shi Tian. He reached out and touched Shi Tian's ribs, saying, "These joints are all broken. I'm afraid he'll need to rest for a while."
