Chapter 512 That was her inner demon
Xue Lan had been exposed by Tu Shan Yan outside the cave, revealing her undeniable demonic aura. Thinking that she was already exposed, she brazenly entered the cave, still radiating demonic energy.
Dozens of chairs woven from rattan had already been placed inside the cave, with an exquisite and ornate wooden table in front of them.
Dao Xuanzi and Xue Lan were chatting and laughing leisurely, seemingly in a good mood.
Who knew that when they glanced into the cave entrance unintentionally, they saw a figure with a strange, demonic aura slowly walking in.
The cave, which had been relatively harmonious just moments before, fell silent in an instant, as dozens of inquisitive or surprised gazes fell upon the woman in black who had just entered.
Master Hengyang blinked, then looked at Dao Xuanzi beside him:
"Is this...am I seeing things?"
"Crack!"
With a soft cracking sound, Master Hengyang's gaze shifted from his longtime friend's face to the chair armrest that Dao Xuanzi had crushed.
The old man belatedly realized what was happening and desperately tried to wink at Xue Lan.
Unfortunately, it was like casting a seductive glance at a truly blind person. The person in question, radiating demonic energy, seemed oblivious to Dao Xuanzi's predatory gaze and was slowly making his way back to his position.
Master Hengyang watched helplessly as Xue Lan walked step by step toward Dao Xuanzi.
Master Hengyang: What's so special about this?
Walking into a trap, courting death?
Even though he is no longer a disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect in secret.
However, one should still exercise some discretion in doing things.
What kind of behavior is it to run around with demonic energy all over your body?!
The helpful Master Hengyang looked at Xue Lan, then at Dao Xuanzi, and inexplicably felt that his position was somewhat dangerous.
Fortunately, Xue Lan was stopped before she could reach Dao Xuanzi.
A faint blue shadow blocked Xue Lan's path. Kong Mingzi raised his hand and released two beams of light that entered Xue Lan's brow.
"What did you say to me this morning?" The usually mild-mannered middle-aged man's eyes held an undisguised anger.
"His cultivation level was already low, his health was poor, and he was covered in demonic energy, wandering around everywhere..."
The middle-aged man stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence. Kongmingzi made a hand seal, but the two streams of spiritual energy he had just injected into Xue Lan's body not only failed to drive away the demonic energy on the man, but also disappeared without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
Xue Lan took a step back and bowed to Master Kongming:
"Xue Lan greets Fellow Daoist Kongmingzi."
"Xue Lan!"
Master Kongming's tone was cold and stern as the middle-aged man pointed to the layer of dark demonic energy on the woman's body:
"How is this going?"
"Clap!"
Before Xue Lan could respond, a crisp sound of a cup falling came from behind Master Kongming. Dao Xuanzi, who had been silent all along, slowly rose, his voice old and heavy:
"That's her inner demon!"
The entire cave erupted in chaos because of Dao Xuanzi's words, becoming as bustling as a marketplace.
"Inner demons? She's the head of the Wan Gong Fang workshop, how could she possibly have inner demons?"
"Am I seeing things?"
"Could she be a demon spy?"
Everyone was filled with doubts, but no one had a clear answer.
The powerful figures, unable to find a solution, turned their attention to Xue Lan in the center of the cave.
Xue Lan did not conceal her demonic energy. The murderous intent embroidery on her black robes sensed the killing intent within the demonic energy and rapidly grew within a few breaths, staining the woman's entire shoulders and back a blood-red color, even extending to Xue Lan's snow-white neck.
Alluring yet dangerous!
Hearing the speculations of the powerful figures around her, Xue Lan slowly bowed to them:
"Everyone, Fellow Daoist Dao Xuanzi is right."
"The demonic energy emanating from this junior is none other than my inner demon!"
The inner demon within his sea of consciousness was bewildered by Xue Lan's actions, and its voice was filled with resentment:
"So I'm just that cheap thug?"
Xue Lan raised an eyebrow slightly:
"if not?"
"You're a really strange person!"
The inner demon's tone was full of sarcasm.
“Back then, I accidentally exposed myself to your master and senior uncle in Chonggu Village. You risked using the Sun-Tracing Mirror to erase their memories.”
"Now it's like he's having a relapse and insists on showing off his inner demons."
The inner demon's rant was incredibly sharp and hit the nail on the head.
Xue Lan felt a slight pang in her heart:
"At that time, it was because the ownership of Wan Gong Fang was uncertain, but now..."
"Everything is under my control."
The inner demon snorted coldly:
"Your senior uncle is still not giving up!"
Even though Dao Xuanzi had spoken, Master Kongming still didn't believe that Xue Lan would develop a demonic inner demon.
He understands Xue Lan better than anyone else.
How painful it must have been for a child whose fate was nearing its end to cultivate and change their destiny! How could a child who didn't develop inner demons back then...?
Thinking of this, a jade pendant of emerald green appeared in the middle-aged man's hand. After letting go, it slowly flew towards Xue Lan.
The jade tablet exploded in front of Xue Lan, revealing six small arrays that were intricately linked.
"Nine-level Spirit Purification Array".
The inner demon's tone was full of laughter:
"If a demon truly possesses you, you'll be skinned alive even if you don't die."
"But who could have imagined... that we are one?"
The purification array continued to operate around Xue Lan, and Kong Mingzi saw Xue Lan's hair turn from jet black to silver-white in an instant...
No, it's not that Xue Lan's hair turned white, but rather that a person dressed in black with white hair walked out of Xue Lan's body.
The inner demon frowned slightly as it looked at the array in front of it, then snapped its fingers:
"break!"
Fine cracks appeared on the barrier formed by the six arrays, and then it shattered with a "crash".
The cyan spiritual energy dissipated, and everyone saw a young woman in black with white hair standing next to Xue Lan, her demonic energy surging and obscuring the sky.
The inner demon stepped forward and slowly bowed to Dao Xuanzi:
"I know you've always wanted to see me!"
"really!"
Dao Xuanzi's eyes shone brightly:
"I've wanted to see you ever since the incident in the underworld of the Great Li Dynasty!"
Standing behind the inner demon, Xue Lan recalled the little crane that Dao Xuanzi had left on the hem of her clothes years ago.
Let's finish this quickly!
Xue Lan thought to herself.
All the powerful beings from the lower realms who were supposed to be in the cave had arrived. Xue Lan gently raised her hand. The inner demon obediently stood behind Xue Lan.
Dao Xuanzi looked at Xue Lan, and for the first time in his life, he couldn't see through this child he had watched grow up.
wrong……
The old man looked at the inner demon behind the woman, who bore her identical appearance, and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"I have never seen through you."
"Now, I have only one question."
"When did you become Xue Lan?"
Where is Xue Lan in his memory?
Xue Lan stared at Dao Xuanzi with her pale gray eyes:
"Fellow!"
The woman's voice was full of sighs:
"The Xuanhuang Sect has existed for decades, and now this..."
"That's the real Xue Lan!"
