Editor: Dancing Dolphins Yo!

A fragrance emitted from inside of the body……Although this kind of physique was rare, it wasn't extremely harmful.

Everyone shared a glance, and then lowered their head to look towards Jun YanZhi. In their hearts, a shadow of doubt appeared.

"'Three Worm Root' has a fragrance. This youth's body also lets out a fragrance at all times. Isn't this too big of a coincidence?"

Xi Fang slowly said: "Do you still have words you want to say?"

Jun YanZhi shook his head: "No. This disciple knows nothing else regarding the incident with peak master Zhao."

Xi Fang looked at him for a while before he finally said to He Ling and the rest: "You all were standing close to them at that time. Did any of you see anything?"

Liu QianMo and the rest shook their heads: "At that time we were only concerned about Jun s.h.i.+xiong and didn't really pay attention to anything else."

Xi Fang slowly said: "……Since it's like this, you all may leave."

Once the four people left, all the peak masters had doubt and uncertainty on their faces, yet none of them said anything. That was until peak master of Xi Zhu peak said: "Do the fellow peak masters believe in the words said by that Jun YanZhi just now?"

"Peak master Zhao lost his reason perfectly at that time, neither earlier nor later. This is too much of a coincidence……"

At this time, everyone had drawn a little bit of a, not so good, conclusion on this matter in their hearts, but no one said it out loud.

Xi Fang asked Lu ChangQing: "What do you think?"

Lu ChangQing replied in a brief manner: "Hiding the 'Three Worm Root's' fragrance in one's own body fragrance, such type of thing, is hard to perceive."

This one phrase broke the doubt in everyone's heart.

Ba Zhan peak's Shao Jun said: "Peak master Zhao losing his reason during the day and Tian Heng peak's disciples going crazy during the night are definitely connected. Although peak master Lu didn't say this, by now you've already suspected it, right?"

Xi Fang: "The matter with peak master Zhao and the disciples of Tian Heng peak losing their reason is a little strange and suspicious. If we say that the matter with peak master Zhao was caused by Jun YanZhi, then how did he go to Tian Heng peak to poison the disciples after being injured? If this incident isn't because of 'Missing Soul', then it is caused by demonic cultivators."

Everyone fell into a heavy silence. Their face revealing an extremely worried expression.

Shao Jun: "Could Jun YanZhi have any connection with demonic cultivation or cultivators?"

Lu ChangQing: "If this Jun YanZhi has any connections with the demonic side, then even killing him isn't overboard."

Shao Jun smiled and said: "Since it's like this, send him to the prison and trap him within the thousand seal array. Once he feels the pain similar to his whole body being broken into small pieces, it won't even take 45 minutes, and he'll truthfully confess."

The peak master Qin Xiao of Huang Hua peak frowned: "That is a little too vicious. If he had nothing to do with the demonic side, then we would be blaming the innocent."

Liu ChangQing raised his voice: "At this moment concerning the survival of my sect, why care about the benevolence of women?"

Everyone looked towards Xi Fang: "Asking sect head to make the final decision!"

Xi Fang deeply thought for a long time and finally said: "The matter of Jun YanZhi will be kept aside for now. Even if we question him right now, it won't help the current situation a lot. Saving people is more important. I've already sent people to the invite Gu Jing sect's elder Lu[1]. They will arrive before the daybreak. It's better to first rescue peak master Zhao and the disciples of Tian Heng peak."

He commanded Zhu Jin: "Send people to watch over Jun YanZhi's every move. Let nothing slide."

"Yes." Zhu Jin left to complete the command.

Xi Fang commanded again: "Ba Zhan peak and w.a.n.g Yue peak will each send twenty Foundation Building disciples and forty Qi Refining disciples to carefully search the Xun Yang mountain range. Nothing that is suspicious should be overlooked."

"Yes."

In Qing Xu front hall, everyone was still discussing and arguing.

Gui XinBi: "I heard that the sect head sent people to invite Gu Jing sect's elder Lu. I'm afraid right now Tian Heng peak is full of troubles."

Gu JinPing: "Elder Lu of  The Gu Jing sect?"

Peng Shao: "That's my Zhu Feng country's only heavenly wood spirit root Golden Core cultivator. His healing skills are G.o.dly. If even he can't help them, then they truly are in dire straits."

"This is something done by demonic cultivators, right?" Mo ShaoYan said in a quiet voice.

Liu QianMo slightly nodded his head: "……Maybe."

"……Their demonic cultivation level is not low. They can make more than twenty people lose their reasons in a short time period. It is still unknown if those people will live or die in the future.

"That's right. Unless they have innate abilities. Otherwise, to cause twenty-something people to lose their minds in a short time period would require hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation. Regardless of which one it is, it's still  extremely terrifying."

"Then, the incident of ShuiYue palace that year was also caused by demonic cultivation?"

"……Hard to say."

Peng Shao had a bad feeling: "……I keep feeling that something big is going to happen. First it was ShuiYue palace, and now it's our Qing Xu sword sect. The demonic cultivator is wreaking havoc. The world will definitely fall into disorder."

He Ling lightly said: "This demonic cultivator isn't like Mu ZhiQiu who robbed those he met."

Mo ShaoYan: "Disaster is unavoidable[2]."

Jun YanZhi said in a low voice: "Even if it is demonic cultivation, it wouldn't necessarily harm our Hui s.h.i.+ peak."

Liu QianMo slightly frowned: "Once someone is in the middle of demonization[3], which demonic cultivator could control it? I've once read many records. In the past when the demonic cultivators were was.h.i.+ng the continent with blood, the whole surrounding for a thousand miles did not have any living thing. It is truly uncontrollable."

Everyone stopped talking. They were surrounded by a heavy and stifling atmosphere.

Gu JinPing: "When can we go back?"

Liu QianMo raised his head and looked up: "Sect head Xi is currently searching and investigating the Xun Yang mountain range. Once they have found that everything is fine, then we can go back."

Everyone waited in Qing Xu hall for half a night before the back hall finally sent news: "Everyone return to each of their respective peak's to rest. If there are  any suspicious individuals or objects, then immediately come to Yu Rong peak to report to the sect head."

"Yes." The disciples said together.

Liu QianMo led them back to Hui s.h.i.+ peak. He commanded to not create trouble where there's no one, and not to leave. He commanded everyone to concentrate on cultivating. He paused for a while, and then meaningfully said to Wen Jing: "Your Jun s.h.i.+xiong is tired. Let him rest well tonight."

Wen Jing nodded his head, aggrieved.

Jun YanZhi lowered his head and said nothing.

Once everyone left, Jun YanZhi said quietly: "Will you be sleeping in my room tonight?"

Wen Jing shook his head: "Jun s.h.i.+xiong, you rest well tonight. I won't bother you anymore."

"……You don't bother me……" His tone of voice was a little bitter and sad.

"……No, I'll come to see you again tomorrow. Jun s.h.i.+xiong, rest well tonight."

He always followed after him the whole day. Just because Jun s.h.i.+xiong didn't say anything on the outside, it didn't mean that he didn't feel annoyed on the inside. Everything should have a limit.

Footnotes:

[1] This is not the same Lu as in Lu ChangQing. They are both p.r.o.nounced the same but the Lu used here is 路 as in road while the one in Lu ChangQing is 陆 which means land.

[2] The actual phrase he used was a snippet from the book 《济公全传》section 176  from the Qing Dynasty. The snippet means 'disaster is unavoidable', but the whole thing means 'Misfortunes and blessings depend on each other and can transform each other. Comparing bad things can lead to good results, and good things can lead to bad results.'

[3] It's called 入魔. It's a period of time where people that can happen due to a buildup of negative emotions or when leveling. Sometimes also when someone from the normal cultivating route succ.u.mbs to their inner demons and falls to demonic cultivation.

Also for names please see Enxiao's glossary.

Tn:  I'll start translating them as whole chapters since the chapters are getting shorter. The time in between releases might get longer though. Liu QianMo's words to Wen Jing tho were gold, but Jun YanZhi probably felt the most unhappy at those words.
