Chapter 117: I Am the Heart Demon

Yun Zhi always felt that the thing she worried about would occur.

After all, this is the Dao Seeking Sect, where anything can happen.

Lu Yang entered a mysterious state where he felt every acupoint in his body brimming with spiritual energy, his internal circulation merging with the external spiritual energy, exchanging spiritual energy with each inhalation and exhalation.

His heart was more peaceful than ever, benefiting from refining the benefits brought by the Kui ox, feeling his body steadily becoming stronger.

“It’s best to see how things go.” Yun Zhi glanced at Lu Yang, who was cultivating, and didn’t disturb him. She went alone to the pine forest, leaving the puppet to protect Lu Yang.

It was deep into the night at Heaven’s Gate Peak, with only Yun Zhi and Lu Yang there, making it exceptionally quiet. Yun Zhi walked among the mountains like a fairy treading on clouds.

Then Yun Zhi saw her noisy master and the elders trapped inside the cave.

Their voices could be heard from a distance.

Yun Zhi sighed, knowing that what was meant to happen, would always happen.

She entered the cave, contemplating whether to release them.

...

Inside the cave, the high-ranking officials of the Dao Seeking Sect gathered.

“I knew my Senior Brothers and Senior Sister are kind-hearted people, unwilling to see me here alone, specially coming in to accompany me,” Daoist Non-Speaker was grateful, but the upward curl of his lips couldn’t be hidden.

“Especially Second Senior Brother, who appears to be breaking the formation on the surface but actually came because he saw my loneliness, bringing everyone to accompany me!”

Grandpa Ba immediately felt the malicious stares of his junior brothers and sisters, feeling immense pressure.

He tried to stay calm and said, “Everyone, don’t panic. This is just a seal set by Junior Niece Yun Zhi, not her in person. As long as we all work together, we can surely overcome this difficulty and break the seal!”

“Think of the Dao Seeking Sect’s Nine, think of how you hold high positions now. What difficulty can stump us?”

In their youth, they roamed the world, slaying demons and eliminating evil, leaving a formidable name across the Central Continent. “The Dao Seeking Sect’s Nine” was what people called them at that time.

In the cramped cave, the Dao Seeking Sect’s Nine united once again.

“Second Senior Brother, how exactly can we leave this place?” Grandpa Ba glared at Daoist Non-Speaker menacingly. He came to watch the fun but ended up being part of it.

Yun Zhi had no choice but to counterattack, extending her delicate hand, her bracelet jingling. With a palm strike, she sent Grandpa Ba flying.

Grandpa Ba was caught by Third Elder and the others after flying a great distance.

“Second Senior Brother, what happened to you?”

Grandpa Ba coughed twice, his eyes showing a hint of fear. He shakily pointed towards the cave entrance and said, “Be careful, Ninth Junior Brother didn’t lie to us. Junior Niece Yun Zhi has set a heart demon seal. To break the seal, we must resolve the heart demon!”

Daoist Non-Speaker murmured to himself, confused about this heart demon.

Third Elder, never one to use his brain much and naturally believing whatever Grandpa Ba said, also tried and encountered Yun Zhi. When Yun Zhi defeated five Sect Masters at the Immortal Sect Conference, she became a heart demon for the older generation, making them question what they had cultivated for thousands of years. Third Elder was no exception.

Like Grandpa Ba, upon seeing Yun Zhi, Third Elder prepared for battle and, similarly, was sent flying with a palm strike.

“Such a formidable heart demon!”

Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder... up to Eighth Elder, one by one, the elders tried and were all defeated by Yun Zhi.

Daoist Non-Speaker, puzzled, approached the cave entrance and, seeing Yun Zhi, finally understood. This wasn’t some heart demon; it was clearly Little Yun herself guarding the door!

“Little Yun?” Daoist Non-Speaker tentatively called out.

Yun Zhi emotionlessly responded, “I am the heart demon.”

After speaking, she didn’t give her master a chance to react, striking him and turning to leave the cave.

Treating herself as a heart demon and attacking on sight, and he still wants to come out? Just meditate quietly for three days.

...

Lu Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling a warm current in his body, now only a step away from a breakthrough.

By then, Yun Zhi had already returned to her seat. Lu Yang, seeing Yun Zhi sitting across from him, couldn’t tell if it was his imagination, but he felt that Eldest Senior Sister seemed somewhat pleased.

“Eldest Senior Sister, is there something that made you happy?”

“No,” Yun Zhi responded as coldly as ever.
