Chapter 6

Morning came quickly. Li Lun, Zhou Yichen and Zhu Yan went to see Qi Yize who was still lying on the stone bed. But how surprised they were to find Qi Yize was not there.

The three of them frantically looked for Qi Yize. "What are you doing?" Lu Ming asked flatly. "Have you seen shifu?" Li Lun asked in panic. "He's been waiting for you at the gate." Lu Ming said coldly. Li Lun immediately ran to see Qi Yize. "I've never seen him lose his cool. This is the first time he's acted like that." Zhu Yan said in disbelief.

"As if you've never lost your cool." Zhou Yichen said sarcastically. Zhu Yan covered his mouth. 'Xiao Zhou's mouth is still very spicy.' Zhu Yan thought. "What are you doing there? Let's go." Zhou Yichen said who was already far ahead. "I'm coming." Zhu Yan said and following Zhuo Yichen.

@gate

Qilin was waiting there when Zhu Yan and Zhou Yichen arrived. Don't ask Li Lun. He was already there stroking Qilin's soft fur.

"Li Lun, stop!" Qi Yize said in Qilin form annoyed. Zhou Yichen dragged Li Lun away. "You're making him uncomfortable." Zhu Yan said. "Let go of me. I promise I won't do it again." Li Lun said smiling. Zhou Yichen let go after Zhu Yan nodded.

"Why did you return to your original form?" Zhu Yan asked looking at Qi Yize. "Climb up my body, we need to go to the Demon Hunting Bureau." Qi Yize said. Zhu Yan climb up and so did Zhou Yichen. "You're not coming?" Zhou Yichen asked looking at Li Lun.

"Can I come?" Li Lun asked smiling. "No/Yes" Qi Yize, Zhou Yichen and Zhu Yan answered at the same time. "Two against one." Zhu Yan said. Qi Yize snorted in annoyance. Li Lun went up. The time from when they left until they arrived was only an instant. They arrived at the Demon Hunting Bureau.

Li Lun, Zhou Yichen and Zhu Yan went down. Qi Yize changed back to his human form. Li Lun went back into his jade. "I forgot to ask what the name of the sword you gave me was?" Zhu Yan asked suddenly. Qi Yize stared at the sword in Zhu Yan's hand in silence.

"Yueguang sword. You can change its name." Qi Yize said. "Isn't that your brother's sword?" Li Lun asked. Li Lun's voice came out of the jade. "Shut your mouth!" Qi Yize said flatly.

Li Lun immediately shut up. Zhu Yan and Zhou Yichen held back their laughter. The door of the Demon Hunting Bureau opened and several demons ran out. "Kneel" Zhu Yan said while making a hand gesture. The demons knelt in front of them.

Pei Sijing came out carrying a bow and arrows. "You guys go home." Pei Sijing said. The three nodded. "They escaped." Zhou Yichen said. "The formation you made in the prison was damaged." Pei Sijing said looking at Qi Yize.

"I know. I came back because of that." Qi Yize said. "Zhu Yan, lock them up there." Qi Yize said throwing a miniature house. Zhu Yan was about to protest but Qi Yize had already entered with Pei Sijing. The miniature house was also caught by Zhou Yichen.

Although grumbling, Zhu Yan carried out the order with Zhou Yichen's help. Zhou Yichen held the Yunguang sword and Yueguang sword in his left hand. While his right hand held a miniature house.

Zhu Yan was busy making hand seals to lock up all the demons who escaped from prison. From outside to inside the Demon Hunting Bureau. After finishing, Zhou Yichen told the members of the Demon Hunting Bureau to rest and the two of them followed to the prison.

@prison

"Dirty" Qi Yize muttered as he looked around the entire room until his gaze reached Liu Li who did not escape.

"The blood of a fox demon. Why didn't you escape?" Qi Yize asked coldly. "Can I escape from a demon like you? But don't worry, even if I die. You will come with me." Liu Li said laughing.

"Miss Pei, take her out. I need to talk to her. Before that, I need to clean the prison from the dirty blood of the fox." Qi Yize said. Pei Sijing nodded and took Liu Li out.

Qi Yize closed his eyes before making a complicated seal. His eyes opened showing golden eyes that were brighter than usual. "Clear air and this place" Qi Yize muttered.

The fox blood that was splashed there slowly evaporated. Fresh air slowly began to blow around the place.

@Prison Corridor

Pei Sijing brought Liu Li out to meet Zhu Yan and Zhou Yichen who came. "Are you done?" Pei Sijing asked. "Yes, what about him?" Zhou Yichen asked. "He's still working." Pei Sijing replied smiling.

Fresh air blew out through the corridor. "I think he's not just clearing the prison but the entire Demon Hunting Bureau." Zhu Yan said smiling. Not long after, Qi Yize came out. "Why are you still here?" Qi Yize asked flatly.

"Waiting for you." Zhu Yan said smiling. Qi Yize looked at Zhu Yan confusedly. Pei Sijing held back her laughter. Zhou Yichen rolled his eyes lazily. Zhu Yan looked awkward. Qi Yize didn't understand Zhu Yan's intentions.

@hall

Zhou Yichen gave a miniature house to Qi Yize and Qi Yize accepted it. Liu Li knelt there. Zhu Yan seemed to be sitting casually. "Miss Pei, give me your hand." Qi Yize said approaching Pei Sijing.

Pei Sijing stretched out her hand confusedly. "I need a finger with your blood. Thumb finger." Qi Yize said smiling awkwardly. Pei Sijing smiled and bit her thumb slightly. Blood came out of Pei Sijing's thumb. Qi Yize held Pei Sijing's thumb and pressed it on the miniature house.

The miniature house shone brightly before dimming. "This is for you. The prison cannot be used for the time being." Qi Yize said innocently as he handed it to Pei Sijing. Pei Sijing accepted it hesitantly. "I almost forgot. You only need to think about locking them up and they will be inside." Qi Yize said.

"You didn't say I could do that earlier." Zhu Yan protested. "Because it's not your property so you have to use a seal to activate it." Qi Yize said flatly. Zhu Yan looked at Qi Yize in disbelief. "Are you sure you're giving it to me?" Pei Sijing asked doubtfully. "Yes, you need it more. Besides, leaving it full of dust is not good." Qi Yize said calmly.

Qi Yize looked at Liu Li who was still kneeling. "What are you planning?" Qi Yize asked, crouching in front of Liu Li. "Are you planning something with Liu Ye? Using someone to catch me?" Liu Li asked. Liu Li's face was shocked. "I guessed it right. Then you can be free from the Demon Hunting Bureau and find prey for your master?" Qi Yize said with a grin. Liu Li's face turned pale.

"But do you think she will let you live? You are too innocent, Liu Li. She can use you when you are useful. Then kill you when you are no longer useful. Why do you think all the weak demons in the Wilderness suddenly died? She took the inner core and kept it. The ancient artifact has been destroyed so she can only extract it herself in her body on the condition that you must live until she absorbs your inner core." Qi Yize said with a sweet smile.

"And you will be discarded by her today. You will die in vain." Qi Yize added flatly. "I am indeed afraid of dying but I also don't mind. As long as I can avenge my husband. I have no regrets." Liu Li said laughing. "Crazy person." Qi Yize said.

"How does it feel to be abandoned by your own brother? How does it feel to see your best friend die in front of you? I hear that your disciple also died. You can't protect anyone. You live because of their sacrifices. You are just a parasite that lives thanks to people..." Liu Li's words were interrupted because Qi Yize's hand pierced Liu Li's heart.

The door of the hall opened and Wen Xiao and Liu Ye entered. Zhou Yichen, Pei Sijing and Zhu Yan were shocked by Qi Yize's actions. "You don't deserve to bring my brother into this topic!" Qi Yize said coldly.

"Stop it!" Wen Xiao shouted angrily. Wen Xiao and Liu Ye ran in. Qi Yize pulled his hand out. Blood flowed from his hand. Qi Yize stood up and looked at Liu Li who was lying on the ground with a smile.

Qi Yize smirked and Liu Li's face hardened. "You think bringing the Baize Goddess will catch me?! You're dreaming!" Qi Yize said coldly. Liu Li slowly turned into dust.

Wen Xiao used BaiZe Ling to lock Qi Yize up. But it didn't work on Qi Yize instead Wen Xiao fell to his knees and vomited fresh blood. Liu Ye looked shocked. This time Liu Ye's heart was stabbed by Qi Yize's hand.

"Liu Ye, you shouldn't have come here. Go accompany your sister." Qi Yize said coldly before pulling his hand out. Wen Xiao stood up again. "Wen Xiao, stop!" Zhou Yichen said but it was too late. Wen Xiao used it again and Qi Yize turned to attack.

Zhu Yan and Zhou Yichen stood in front of Wen Xiao and blocked Qi Yize's spiritual energy attack. "Wake up." Zhu Yan shouted looking at Qi Yize. Qi Yize increased the power of his attack. Wen Xiao fell to his knees and vomited blood again.

"His eyes changed color." Zhou Yichen said. "Damn tiger demon! How could she pouring salt into his wound! He's controlled by malicious energy!" Zhu Yan said. "What should we do?" Zhou Yichen asked.

"Li Lun, if you don't come out, your shifu will die." Zhu Yan shouted. The spiritual energy mixed with malicious energy became stronger, attacking Zhu Yan and Zhou Yichen.

Li Lun came out of the jade before making a seal and pointing his two fingers at Qi Yize's forehead. Zhu Yan and Zhou Yichen were hit by the last energy attack and were injured. Both of them vomited fresh blood.

Qi Yize stopped his attack and looked at Li Lun, Zhu Yan, Zhou Yichen and Pei Sijing. Pei Sijing looked at Qi Yize worriedly. Qi Yize smiled faintly at Pei Sijing before vomiting fresh blood.

Qi Yize almost fell and was held by Li Lun. Wen Xiao was helped up by Zhu Yan. Zhou Yichen approached Qi Yize. "Don't you want to live anymore?!" Zhou Yichen said angrily. "You're the one who doesn't want to live! Why didn't you stop that woman?! You knew he would be controlled by malicious energy." Li Lun said back, grumbling.

"How would I know?!" Zhou Yichen protested. "Can you two shut up?!" Qi Yize said with narrowed eyes. Pei Sijing walked over to Qi Yize. "Can't your eyes see anymore?!" Pei Sijing asked in panic.

Wen Xiao just stared at Zhu Yan in silence. Various complicated feelings arose in Wen Xiao's heart. Wen Xiao wanted to scold Zhu Yan but she didn't know where to start. "Zhu Yan, I need your help." Li Lun shouted lifting Qi Yize's body. Wen Xiao was confused.

Pei Sijing led the way. Li Lun followed. "Why are you helping the demon who killed so many demons in the Wilderness?" Wen Xiao asked angrily. "I helped because I didn't want you to get hurt but I don't agree with what you did?! You two enjoy your time!" Zhou Yichen said coldly before leaving.

This was the first time Zhou Yichen had spoken in such a tone to Wen Xiao. Baize Ling seemed to react to Zhu Yan. Wen Xiao looked confused.

"What you know is not necessarily true? I will explain to you." Zhu Yan said looking at Wen Xiao smiling. Wen Xiao was a little relieved because Zhu Yan didn't change at all.

"Zhu Yan, if you don't come in a few more minutes then I'll tear you apart." Li Lun's thunderous shout was heard. Zhu Yan smiled. "Come with me." Zhu Yan said. Wen Xiao followed Zhu Yan.

@side room

"Why did you bring that woman too?" Li Lun asked in disapproval. Zhou Yichen was transferring his demonic power to Qi Yize. Pei Sijing pulled Wen Xiao to sit in the available seat.

"I'll explain later." Pei Sijing said looking at Wen Xiao. Wen Xiao nodded. "I told you we have to channel it together." Li Lun said remembering. "You've said it many times." Zhu Yan said irritated.

Zhou Yichen stepped back and the two of them channeled spiritual energy into Qi Yize's body. Just a little bit and Qi Yize's body had a shield rejecting their spiritual energy. "Why?" Li Lun asked annoyed. "I told you he can't accept it. Don't want to listen." Zhou Yichen said sadistically.

"Why did he receive your demonic power? We only gave him what he gave us." Li Lun protested. "You're jealous because he only received Xiao Zhou's demonic power." Zhu Yan said, massaging his temples.

"I'm jealous. I'm his disciple, not Zhou Yichen." Li Lun said frankly. Zhou Yichen and Zhu Yan stared at Li Lun in disbelief. Pei Sijing and Wen Xiao held back their laughter. "Are you confessing your love to Brother Yize?" Pei Sijing asked. Li Lun's face turned red.

"We need to explain the main problem to Wen Xiao." Zhu Yan said, looking at Wen Xiao with a smile. "You guys sit down. I'll wait here." Zhou Yichen said and sat on the edge of the bed.

Li Lun was about to protest but Zhu Yan pulled him to join Pei Sijing. "I have a question. Why wasn't Miss Pei surprised to see Li Lun?" Zhu Yan asked suddenly. "Because I met him two months ago. When Yize lost his sight at night." Pei Sijing said sadly.

"After that I often looked for Pei Sijing to discuss. We are now friends." Li Lun said casually. "I will explain." Pei Sijing said before Zhu Yan asked more.

After being explained Wen Xiao looked dazed. "You said Zhao Yuan Zhou was not controlled by Qi Yize." Wen Xiao said in surprise. "No, he can't meet you because of Baize Ling." Pei Sijing replied. Zhu Yan smiled sadly. Baize Ling suddenly shone brightly.

A picture appeared there. Baize Goddess, Zhao Wan'er was seen in the picture as well as Zhu Yan and Li Lun and Qi Yize but a younger version.

"I helped you catch the demon." Qi Yize said pointing to the yellow shield in the corner. "Thank you, Yize." Zhao Wan'er said smiling. "Sit down and relax first." Qi Yize offered. "But I still have some business." Zhao Wan'er said. "No need to rush. Maybe this is the last time we meet." Qi Yize said smiling.

"What did you see?" Zhao Wan'er asked curiously. "Secret." Qi Yize said smiling. Meanwhile, Zhu Yan and Li Lun were already fighting. "Li Lun, if you destroy the house again. Then I will punish you." Qi Yize shouted. "No way. Zhu Yan did it." Li Lun said casually.

"How dare you accuse me!" Zhu Yan said angrily. The two of them fought even crazier than before. "Drink tea." Qi Yize said, already sitting on a chair in the pavilion. Zhao Wan'er smiled and sat down and enjoyed the tea.

"I hope Zhu Yan can soon control the malicious energy in his body. Otherwise, he will be in danger." Qi Yize said looking at the direction of Li Lun and Zhu Yan's fight. "Are your eyes better?" Zhao Wan'er asked worriedly.

"I'm fine." Qi Yize said looking at Zhao Wan'er smilingly. "I heard from Ying Zhao. In order to help Zhu Yan control the malicious energy. Your eyes almost went blind permanently." Zhao Wan'er said worriedly. "Not so bad. I can still see now. I feel the malicious energy is getting stronger. If Zhu Yan can control it then everything will be fine. Otherwise, he will hurt himself." Qi Yize said flatly.

[Zhu Yan and Li Lun were shocked. 'That's what they were talking about at that time.' Zhu Yan and Li Lun thought. Wen Xiao stared at the bed Qi Yize was in with complicated feelings. Pei Sijing smiled sadly. Zhou Yichen stared at Qi Yize silently. 'Stupid.' Zhou Yichen thought.]

"Did you see it?" Zhao Wan'er asked seriously. Qi Yize looked at Li Lun and Zhu Yan who had stopped. They looked curiously at Zhao Wan'er and Qi Yize. Qi Yize smiled. "What are they talking about?" Zhu Yan asked. "I don't know. He usually doesn't do this." Li Lun protested. Both of them continued to stare.

Qi Yize looked back at Zhao Wan'er. "I can only tell you. He might have a loyal friend. But he will end up tragically because of that too." Qi Yize said flatly. "Can you help him?" Zhao Wan'er asked seriously.

"You are the same as Ying Zhao. He also asked me. I don't know but if I can, I will help anyway. He is Li Lun's best friend." Qi Yize explained.

"I see you really like this disciple of yours." Zhao Wan'er said smiling. "After I die, he can take good care of Yue Shan. That is if he doesn't take the wrong path." Qi Yize said smiling faintly.

"At that time, I will help you teach him a lesson." Zhao Wan'er said. Qi Yize smiled sadly. "I hope your successor is not a stupid and naive person." Qi Yize said flatly. "No way." Zhao Wan'er said smiling. "You are always optimistic in everything. You are my first and last friend from the human clan." Qi Yize said smiling. "I'm sure, I won't be the last." Zhao Wan'er said smiling. The image slowly disappeared from there.

"What is it?" Pei Sijing asked. "Past memories." Zhu Yan said. "He knows, but can't talk about it." Li Lun said looking at Qi Yize who was still lying on the bed.

"What are you going to do after this?" Pei Sijing said. Qi Yize woke up. "Are you okay?" Zhou Yichen asked worriedly. Li Lun, Zhu Yan, Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing stood up.

Qi Yize ignored them and ran out of the room before making a shield to prevent them from getting out. The sky lightning immediately struck Qi Yize with full force. Wen Xiao was horrified to see Qi Yize who didn't even make a sound even though Qi Yize vomited blood.

Li Lun clenched his fists tightly. Zhu Yan looked at Qi Yize sympathetically. Pei Sijing looked sadly at Qi Yize. Zhou Yichen looked worriedly at Qi Yize. Qi Yize smiled faintly. After 9 times of being hit, then the lightning stopped striking.

The protective shield was destroyed. Qi Yize sat down with a tired face. "Thank you." Qi Yize said looking at Zhou Yichen. Zhou Yichen approached preceded by Li Lun. Li Lun helped Qi Yize back to the room.

"Sorry." Wen Xiao said suddenly. Qi Yize looked at her confusedly. "Who are you? Do we know each other?" Qi Yize asked confusedly. "Did you forget us again?" Zhu Yan asked in panic. Zhou Yichen hit Zhu Yan's head.

"Why did you hit me?" Zhu Yan asked in protest. "Stupid." Zhou Yichen said. "You guys get out, Yize needs to change clothes." Li Lun said chasing everyone away. They all went out including Li Lun.

Qi Yize's back was full of wounds when he took off his clothes to change. Horrible wounds both new and old.
