Chapter 287: Internal Demon (1)

At that time, in order to avoid learning sword skills, Qi Lan secretly hid in the secret chamber of his father's study.

The secret chamber had a large formation, where he could hear people outside speak, while people outside couldn't even notice there was someone in. So when Yin Jinye and his father came to the study, they had no idea that he was already in the chamber.

Yin Jinye's father said in a heavy voice, "Junior brother, Jinye was caught."

"What? Jinye got caught?" Qi Lan's father asked anxiously, "Who did it? Who caught him? Lian family? Is it Lian family?"

Yin Jinye's father shook his head, "It's the holy beast who governs all evil beasts in Zhonggu, Lord Shan Ze."

"Why did he capture Jinye?" Qi Lan's father couldn't believe it, "I heard that Lord Shan Ze has always cast his bread up the waters, and seldom leaves Zhonggu. How could it be him? Why did he catch Jinye?"

"He should know Jinye owns Colorful Spiritual Root, so he wants to capture it by seizing Jinye. Now I need someone to accompany me to the Zhonggu to save Jinye back, otherwise it'd be too late. So I came here, hoping that you can do me this favor."

Qi Lan's father nodded without hesitation, "OK, I will go gather up people now."

He quickly informed Qi Lan's mother, grandparents, brothers about the thing, and they all agreed to save Jinye.

"I'm also going with you." Qi Lan ran out from the secret chamber.

Qi Lan's mother said while patting on his shoulder, "Lan'er, your cultivation is too low. You can't help even if you go, so I hope you can stay home to take care of everything. Our family needs someone to be in charge, and you are the best candidate. We will come back soon."

"But..."

"It's decided."

Qi Lan's master shifu said bluntly, "Little master, you'd only let them distracted if you go."

As everyone did not agree with him to go, Qi Lan verbally agreed to stay, but after they left, he secretly took the invisible cloak his father put in the secret chamber and followed them to Zhonggu Prefecture.

Because of not knowing the road, plus with his low cultivation, it took him about half a month to find people of Yin and Qi family.

At that time, the two families and the big evil beasts of Zhonggu Prefecture were having a fierce fight.

Qi Lan dare not get close, so while they were all focusing on the fight, he himself took the detour to look for Yin Jinye.

But instead of finding Yin jinye, he saw that Yin jinye's father, his father, his grandparents, and more than 20 elders of the two families were fighting against a white-haired man together.

The white-haired man had pretty high cultivation. He didn't show weak fighting over twenty Mahayana cultivators. Finally it was a lose-lose situation. The white-haired man got seriously wounded and escaped, while Yin Jinye's father who also got severely wounded quickly caught up.

Qi Lan's father weakly called him back. Yin Jinye's father fed himself a wound pill, and hurriedly answered him, "Junior brother, I have to go catch him while he is badly injured, and then I will come back to find you, or what we have paid for this will go nothing."

After he left, Qi Lan's father vomited a lot of blood.

Qi Lan rushed over, "Dad, grandpa, grandma..."

Seeing his son show up here, Qi Lan's father looked very anxious, wanting to tell him to leave here quickly, unfortunately, he had been hurt very badly and only had the strength to say, "Quick, quickly...back, quickly...

He breathed his last before he finished the last sentence.

"Dad, dad..." Qi Lan cried and shook his father's body crazily, "Dad...dad..."

"Lan'er, Lan'er..." called his grandma, who lay beside him, dying.

Qi Lan heard the sound, quickly put down his father, and came to his grandmother's side, "Grandma, you are ok? Where is the elixir? Where's the elixir?"

He remembered that he had some inferior elixirs in his storage ring, so he quickly took one out and fed her.

"No, no use..."Qi Lan's grandmother clenched his hands, "In the...future, Qi, Qi family...all...count on you..."

Gradually, Qi Lan's grandmother's eyes looked empty, murmuring, "Conspiracy, conspiracy..."

"Grandma, you don't talk, I will get you a physician now." Right after Qi Lan said that, the hand holding his gradually lost its strength and slowly fell to the ground.

"Grandma!" Qi Lan saw that his family closed the eyes, his sad crying going through the whole woods.

On that day day, he not only lost his grandparents and father, but also lost his brothers. And his mother was still worried about Yin Jinye's safety and told him to protect Yin Jinye before she died, and then forever closed that pair of beautiful and kind eyes.

After that, Yin Jinye's father disappeared. Even when the Qi family was holding the funeral, Yin Jinye's father did not show up, Yin Jinye also could not attend it because of serious injury, only old lady Yin, with a group of people, attended it.

This was the most miserable day in his life. While he was still immersed in grief and pain, Qi family's branch ran out to contend for power, and even sent Qi Lan's most trusted man to assassinate him. Those people from Qi family who used to be so good to him now all exposed their ugly faces. Everyone wanted to get the position of the master of Qi family.

Old lady Yin released the words, as long as she was still the old lady of Yin family, she would secure Qi Lan to sit on the position of the master. If anyone dared to grab the position, she would kill him. And after she really silenced a few ambitious branches of Qi family, other people quieted down and no longer took any rash action.

Qi Lan's memories ended at the scene that old lady Yin handed Qi Lan to Immortal Guiyi as his disciple, and the picture was also gone in the air.

Rong Yi and his body fell in silence.

Not until he got another bite from Qi Lan did Rong Yi's body came to his sense, "So what do you think?"

Rong Yi said in his head, "So Lord Shan Ze was wounded by them. No wonder Jinye looked so nervous when he heard about Lord Shan Ze. After watching that part of memories, I personally think Yin Jinye's father absolutely has a problem."

Rong Yi's body nodded, "When everyone was seriously injured, he was in a hurry to catch the white-haired man instead of saving others, which made me feel like his purpose was not to save his son but to catch the white-haired man..."

Rong Yi also agreed with this statement, "I even think Jinye's being caught may be false, the purpose was to let Qi family help him catch the white-haired man. And Jinye and his mother should have known that so they would feel guilty to Qi Lan."

"Er... er..." Rong Yi's body said, "Did you notice that we are getting closer to Jinye's father?"

Of course Rong Yi noticed it.

At this time, Qi Lan loosened his mouth, flew up, staring at Yin Jinye's father.

Rong Yi's body immediately said to Rong Yi through ventriloquism, "Qi Lan seems to go back to normal."

Rong Yi looked at Qi Lan with a resentful face, shook his head, "No, he is trapped by his internal demon. If he can't solve his internal demon, he will never be able to leave this secret realm."

Rong Yi's body touched his chin, "To be honest, it's none of my business whether he can get out of the secret realm or not. But if our mother-in-law knew that we didn't save him, and that she didn't take the one who she has always wanting to protect out of the secret realm, do you think she would have a bad impression on us?"

Rong Yi showed the whites of his eyes, "Just say it if you are being softhearted."
