    Chapter 54 Finger-turning

    (fifty-four)

    After leaving the illusion, Shen Tanqi still didn't realize that he had broken through the Nascent Soul stage.

    The elder looked at him in astonishment and asked: "You...how did you break through?"

    Ordinary people make breakthroughs in their own illusions, but this is the first time she has seen breakthroughs in cultivation in other people's illusions.

    The illusion trial is a test of the human and mental state. If a cultivator only improves his cultivation but does not improve his state, it will do a lot of harm but no good.

    Therefore, the illusion trial is specifically designed to polish the disciple's state of mind.

    The elder couldn't help but become more curious about what happened in Yu Ce's illusion.

    But when she asked a few questions, Shen Tanqi and Yu Ce looked hesitant, and neither of them could tell the reason.

    "Accidentally...break through."

    "Well, we don't know what's going on."

    The two of them looked up at the sky in tacit agreement, pretending not to know anything.

    But when the disciples around him heard about this, they were all eye-opening.

    The few disciples who sent Shen Tanqi's trial results the day before yesterday were even more incredible.

    "I heard that Senior Brother Shen broke through the Nascent Soul stage in the illusion trial?"

    There are only a handful of disciples of the Rongyun Sect who can reach the Nascent Soul Stage. If an ordinary person wants to break through, it will take at least ten years of hard work. This is a level that is envied by everyone even outside.

    "Yes, the most surprising thing is that Senior Brother Shen broke through the Nascent Soul in Senior Brother Yu's illusion!"

    "It's strange. Didn't you say that Senior Brother Shen and Senior Brother Yu don't get along?"

    "This...I don't know either."

    Everyone gathered around them and looked at them.

    Only Shen Tanqi and Yu Ce, who knew the inside story, averted their eyes unnaturally and looked at each other.

    Shen Tanqi: "Let's go quickly..."

    Yu Ce: "Well, if you don't leave, you will be left behind for research..."

    They left Fu Feng as if they were running away, and when they returned to Yaoting Waterside Pavilion, Shen Tanqi suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to go to Fang Wenxun to pick up the child.

    He put on his coat and was about to push the door open when he was stopped by Yu Ce.

    "Where are you going, senior brother?"

    Shen Tanqi turned around nonchalantly and said, "Go to Senior Brother Fang to pick up the goldfish and taro balls. After staying for so long, it's time for the child to come back."

    Hearing this, Yu Ce whispered: "I'll pick it up."

    When he got up in the morning today, his heart always seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and he felt faintly uneasy.

    This premonition seems to have been passed down to goldfish. Sometimes, goldfish can sense danger in advance.

    Shen Tanqi shook his head and said, "No, it's not a long journey. I'll be back in a moment."

    After that, without waiting for Yu Ce to answer, he opened the door and left.

    Yu Ce opened his mouth, but saw the door closing, but said nothing.

    In the sect, with the sect leader and the mountain guarding formation standing guard, there should be no danger.

    In the disciple's dormitory, after picking up the goldfish and taro balls, Shen Tanqi thanked Fang Wenxun who was reluctant to leave at the door: "Thank you, senior brother, for taking care of the goldfish and taro balls these days."

    Fang Wenxun waved his hand, and the corners of his eyes were actually a little moist: "It's a matter of course, both children are lovable, junior brother, there is no need to be so polite with me."

    With the goldfish and taro balls accompanying him these two days, he finally didn't have to practice sword practice all day long, and he had a lot more fun.

    Suddenly asking Shen Tanqi to take him back, he felt a little reluctant.

    The two cubs waved towards Fang Wenxun and said with a smile, "Uncle Fang, we will come and play with you tomorrow."

    Fang Wenxun responded quickly and said, "Sure, I'll definitely come back tomorrow!"

    Shen Tanqi laughed out loud, patted the two cubs on the back, and led the children back to Yaoting Waterside Pavilion.

    "What did Uncle Fang play with you today?" Shen Tanqi lowered his head and asked the goldfish.

    The child talked happily about the story books that Fang Wenxun had accumulated there, about the tears of goddesses and immortals, and the war temple and demon slaying, which were all folk legends.

    At the climax of the story, Goldfish said angrily: "That immortal is really too much. He deceived the goddess sister to be with him, and then he didn't want her anymore, causing her to fall into the mortal world!"

    Taro Yuan also said happily: "Dad, another story is better told. The ancient god of war was really powerful. Just like his father, he stood in the center of the temple with a cast-iron sword, and the gods blocked the gods and the demons blocked the demons., anyone who is a bad guy will be punished by him!"

    From their focus, Shen Tanqi can roughly tell that Jinyu prefers sweet love novels, while Taro Yuan prefers upgrade novels that kill everyone.

    Children are really like Yu Ce sometimes. Half of their minds are filled with those disgusting things, and half of their minds are filled with upgrading, becoming stronger and fighting monsters.

    The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he walked slowly with the two cubs in hand, feeling like he was taking the children home from kindergarten.

    Both cubs were thirsty after talking, but Taro Yuan was not as good as a goldfish. He pursed his lips, tugged at the corner of Shen Tanqi's clothes, and asked, "Daddy, I'm thirsty."

    Passing by the restaurant, Shen Tanqi stopped, glanced inside, and whispered, "Have you had lunch?"

    The two cubs looked at me and I looked at you, and both shook their heads.

    Shen Tanqi smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to the restaurant and rest. Daddy will buy porridge for you to drink."

    The goldfish was already hungry, so he cheered and dragged his younger brother into the restaurant. His movements were skillful, and it looked like he had been dragging Fang Wenxun in to eat and drink in the past two days.

    Shen Tanqi couldn't help but laugh. Just as he was about to follow them, he heard someone calling his name from behind.

    "Junior brother."

    It was Fang Wenxun's voice.

    Shen Tanqi was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at Fang Wenxun, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

    Didn't they just meet? Could it be that the two cubs left something behind where Fang Wenxun was?

    As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tanqi saw the corners of Fang Wenxun's lips slightly raised and a smile on his face, and said to him one word at a time: "Long time no see."

    In an instant, the cold air climbed from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

    Shen Tanqi's pupils shrank rapidly, and he subconsciously turned around to escape, but a black mist suddenly rose up from under his feet, wrapping him tightly like a poisonous snake.

    It's not Fang Wenxun, it's the devil.

    ——The demon who pushed him off the cliff in the first place.

    "People brought it."

    When Shen Tanqi woke up, his eyes were completely dark. He realized that he was blindfolded. His heart was beating wildly and he didn't dare to make any move.

    His hands were tied with unknown ropes, and he couldn't use any spiritual power. It seemed that the other party was well prepared.

    "Fang Wenxun"'s voice was slow and leisurely, with a lazy and elegant tone. Anyone who heard it would just think that the other person was gentle and harmless, and that he was a rare and handsome young man.But Shen Tanqi knew that he was an out-and-out terrifying demon.

    Shen Tanqi once guessed that the other party might sneak into Rongyun Sect again, but he never guessed that this demon would be so bold. With Fang Wenxun's face, he would dare to use it a second time!

    Is he really not afraid of being discovered?

    Shen Tanqi was thinking wildly when his eyes suddenly darkened. He noticed a figure standing in front of him, staring thoughtfully.

    After a while, he heard a familiar chuckle in front of him.

    A cold hand slid across the side of his face and said lightly, "Shen Tanqi."

    Shen Tanqi's whole body trembled suddenly, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, but was firmly restrained by "Fang Wenxun" behind him, and had to straighten his body forward to face him directly.

    It's Xie Chi.

    He and the demons got together.

    "Fang Wenxun" seemed a little surprised by Shen Tanqi's reaction, and asked in a low voice: "I didn't expect that you and my junior brother are old acquaintances."

    Naturally, this was said to Xie Chi, but Shen Tanqi still felt sick.

    Bah, who is your junior brother?

    Xie Chi slowly removed his hand from his face, pinched Shen Tanqi's chin, stared coldly, and sneered: "So be it."

    He and Shen Tanqi have some connections.He used his dragon beads to enter the Rongyun Sect, but instead fell into the arms of Yu Ce and gave birth to three children to Yu Ce.

    That’s great——

    Xie Chi shook off Shen Tanqi and lay on his back in the depths of the soft couch, with a flash of blood in his eyes: "What happened to the birth-promoting Gu?"

    Shen Tanqi's eyelids twitched. Even if he wanted to pretend to be stupid and dead, he knew it was too late. He asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?"

    Xie Chi liked to hear Shen Tanqi's eager and impatient tone, which sounded very interesting. He tilted his chin and carefully admired the skin that would be occupied by him soon, and explained in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm just thinking of a way.I just told you to give birth to that evil creature in your belly earlier and strangle it to death."

    Shen Tanqi froze. If his hands were not tied, he would have wanted to step forward and strangle Xie Chi to death. He said in a trembling voice, "Aren't you afraid that Yu Ce will know?"

    The black cloth around his eyes was slowly untied by "Fang Wenxun" behind him. With a gentle and creepy smile, the other person leaned over to his ear: "What are you afraid of? When the time comes, you will be mine."Good junior brother..."

    Thanks Chi, it will replace Shen Tan paint.

    And he will replace Fang Wenxun.

    Xie Chi was satisfied to see Shen Tanqi's slightly defeated expression, and said calmly: "Yan Ning, do it, be careful not to hurt his body."

    "I know." Yan Ning responded lightly, half-hugging Shen Tanqi's shoulders, with a deep smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, junior brother, didn't you see my Gu last time, it won't hurt at all."

    "As long as you gently twist it into your neck, it will get into your body obediently," his voice became more and more excited, and the magic mist on his body surged more intensely, like a ball of scalding boiling water, "Then, youThe child will be catalyzed into a dragon egg and leave the body. Don’t worry, we will let you see it for the last time..."

    Shen Tanqi looked up at him coldly. Yan Ning was struck by his gaze and his voice paused slightly. Then he thought that the waste in front of him was just a waste that barely passed the Nascent Soul. He smiled nonchalantly and said: "Don't worry, I'll wait until you see it.", I will smash it in front of your face again."

    This method was found by Xie Chi when he returned to the Hidden Dragon Valley to loot and finally found it in the dragon clan's library. This is an extremely evil technique that goes against destiny and disregards ethics. The demon's poisonous insects must be used as a guide to lure Shen Tan.The dragon fetus in Qi's belly was forced out of his body.

    "Xie Chi," Shen Tanqi knew who was behind all this. He stared at Xie Chi and whispered, "If you really do this, I will definitely kill you."

    He had never killed anyone, and he had never had such thoughts.

    This is the first time.

    Xie Chi found it interesting that no one had dared to say such nonsense in front of him for a long time.

    However, thinking that this person was his brother's, Xie Chi suddenly lost interest. He looked at Shen Tanqi struggling in Yan Ning's arms indifferently, his eyes fell on the red ends of his eyes, and he felt a sense of irritation in his heart for no reason.

    He slowly turned the blue jade ring between his fingers, his eyes dark and unclear, and his body exuded bursts of cold dragon breath.

    Recently... the weakness seems to be coming back again.

    Until Yan Ning pushed Shen Tanqi to the ground and pressed the catalytic Gu insect firmly into the back of Shen Tanqi's neck, Shen Tanqi let out a low cry of pain.

    The snow-colored neck dangled in front of his eyes, causing Xie Chi's breathing to become stagnant in just an instant, and the heat in his body became more intense like a raging fire starting a prairie fire.

    Shen Tanqi, damn it.

    Xie Chi cursed softly.

    His eyes fell on Shen Tanqi's lower abdomen. Xie Chi narrowed his eyes and a strange and impulsive thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

    ——If his brother can do it, then what’s wrong with him?

    It's just a tool to relieve the weak period...

    "The catalytic Gu has been planted."

    After a long time, Yan Ning let go of Shen Tanqi indifferently, raised his eyes to look at Xie Chi, and said softly, "Kill him and seize his body. Move faster. Your and my illusion formation can only delay Yu Ce for half a quarter of an hour at most."

    After the words fell, the blue finger suddenly stopped rotating. Xie Chi stood up slowly, used a sharp sword energy to push back Yan Ning who was beside Shen Tanqi, and said softly: "Then you can hold on."

    Yan Ning looked at him in shock: "What do you mean?"

    The two of them could barely maintain the illusory formation. With Yu Ce's strength, he was the only one to stop it. It was undoubtedly a mantis trying to stop it. Did Xie Chi ask him to die?

    Xie Chi got off the couch, stood in front of Yan Ning, and grabbed his throat fiercely: "I don't have the habit of repeating myself. I'll leave him to his own use. What you have to do is..."

    He shook Yan Ning away violently, his eyes extremely cold, "Go and hold Yu Ce, otherwise, you will die before Shen Tanqi."

    Yan Ning looked at him in disbelief. After so many years of walking outside, this was the first time he saw someone who was more treacherous and duplicitous than the demons.

    No, this insidious and cunning monster!

    However, at this time, what else would he do with Shen Tanqi?

      Eu realmente odeio como o Mc sempre parece tão patético em frente seus inimigos. Xiaxia e peixe salgado não combinam num mesmo enredo. Não peço que ele seja o mais forte do mundo mas que pelo menos consiga fugir quando necessário
