Master is tempting, come to my disciple's arms

Qingfeng Mountain is a beautiful hill. It is not as majestic and towering as Yuxu Sect and Jiuyue Mountain, but it is also a good place for cultivation.

The mountains are rolling, with ridges overlapping each other, lush vegetation, clusters of mountain flowers, and green all over the mountain. Halfway up the mountain are several ancient buildings with exquisite carved eaves, and at the foot of the mountain flows a clear stream.

There is a sect standing on this mountain. Although its reputation is not as loud as the top four sects in the world of cultivation, it also has a place and can have a say among the hundreds of sects.

Sitting at the first seat in the front hall of Qingfeng Gate was a middle-aged man with a resolute face. His sharp eyes were full of murderous intent. On the wooden floor below him, kneeling was a young disciple. He had his head half lowered and was shivering. He looked like a flower ravaged by a storm and looked extremely pitiful.

After listening to the disciple's report, the corners of his mouth pulled up into a smile that was uglier than crying. When Jiang Yuning saw the terrifying look of the master, he was so scared that he fell to the ground and didn't dare to look up.

When he thought of his sister who had been missing for many days, he could only go against his conscience and collude with You Rulie to do such a wicked thing. Perhaps after he was done, he could get news that his sister was alive before he died, which would make his life worthwhile.

After returning from Yuxu Sect, the head of his sect seemed to have changed. He locked himself in a dark secret room every day, and his expression became more and more gloomy and terrifying. His whole personality changed drastically, and he was suspicious all the time. He always felt that others had bad intentions towards him, wanted to betray him and kill him. He was no longer as kind and amiable as before, and the disciples no longer gathered around him to let him teach them martial arts as before.

Even an hour ago, he suspected that his senior and junior brothers wanted to take his life, so he deliberately lured them to shoot a litter of red fox cubs. After being discovered by the big red fox, he took advantage of their desperate fight to release his demonic energy and killed all the sect disciples and the red foxes. He then made it appear that they were attacked by monsters, and wanted to frame the incident on the demon clan. He thought that the sect leader was possessed by a demon, which was something he found difficult to accept for a while.

He asked himself to clean up the remaining mess and returned to Qingfeng Gate first. However, before he could deal with the bodies, he saw a spirit boat slowly approaching here. He could only hide in the bushes. After seeing the two people clearly, he was shocked. He didn't expect that they were the ones who came. He kept watching their every move, watching them patrolling and searching around the bodies. Finally, the man in the white robe took out the recording stone and recorded the scene. After they left, he dared to come out from his hiding place, stumbling all the way, and rushed back to Qingfeng Gate like a lost soul.

Before the murder, the head of the sect specifically told Jiang Yuning that if this matter was discovered by someone, he would act as a witness and falsely accuse these disciples of being killed by the person who discovered it.

What You Rulie had not expected was that his mental nightmare had become more and more serious. If left unchecked, it would eventually turn into an inner demon. This inner demon would not only affect the cultivator's spiritual aspirations, but would also prevent his cultivation from improving, leaving him in a state of stagnation. Because of this distress, his temper had also changed greatly, and he became extremely furious and bloodthirsty.

He didn't know who had cast the nightmare poison on him, and he had suspected the people from Yuxu Sect, but he could not find any reason, nor did he know why the Yuxu Sect wanted to harm him. These poisonous spirits had sneaked into his body without his knowledge, and every night when he slept or meditated, he would have nightmares that terrified him. These nightmares would make him remember the evil things he had done in the past and arouse the evil in his heart. From time to time, he would dream of the bloody scenes of him abandoning his wife and daughter and brutally killing his wife and children.

Because they influenced his monastic path, these dreams were like an endless loop that played out in his mind every day, causing great impact on his spirit and psychology, simply causing him a midlife trauma.

As time passed, the nightmares that should have appeared only in his dreams at night became more and more frequent, sometimes even appearing during the day. That's why he had such bad consequences and it was too late for him to regret. He couldn't eat well and was afraid to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, the wife and daughter he had killed would come to claim their lives. He had nowhere to escape in his dreams.

You Rulie felt that he was losing control of his anxiety again, so he quickly waved his sleeves and asked Jiang Yuning to leave.

You Rulie was extremely heartbroken by the killing of the disciple whom he had trained with great effort for so many years. Once the Heart Nightmare took over his body, he would become a different person. In order to control the Heart Nightmare, his spiritual power had been depleted to a minimum. In addition, he could not calm down to meditate and practice, so he no longer had any extra spiritual power to suppress the Heart Nightmare.

It only takes a blink of an eye to go from mental nightmare to mental demon. Some people change quickly, some slowly. There is also a small number of people who have a clear mind and have never done evil things. They are not easily controlled by mental nightmares and will not develop mental demons. Others, as long as they have done all kinds of bad things in the past and have had the slightest evil thoughts, will have mental nightmares. Cultivators are most afraid of such monsters. Once their minds are controlled by mental demons, not only will all their previous efforts in cultivation be wasted, but they will also easily go astray and become possessed by demons during cultivation. By then, even the immortals cannot save them.

Baili Qi was lying on the bed, having just finished doing something he loved to do. He was breathing slightly, feeling refreshed all over. Lying next to him was his newlywed Taoist partner. He stretched out a jade-white finger and gently circled the man's smooth chest.

What he wanted was never Zhou Ming. To him, he was just a chess piece. In a small sense, what he wanted was the Yuxu Sect. In a big sense, what he wanted was the world. He wanted to take the entire cultivation world into his pocket. Just because he had a useless spiritual root since childhood, he suffered humiliation, was not loved by his father and mother, and even this huge sect was handed over to others.

What he wanted to do now was to wait. After provoking the dispute between the two worlds, there would naturally be a war between the world of cultivation and the world of demons. Then, while their vitality was severely damaged and their strength was greatly reduced, he would take advantage of it and seize the Yuxu Sect and take charge of the sect again. What he was unwilling to accept was that he had a mental nightmare because of practicing some forbidden techniques that could quickly improve his cultivation. But it was no big deal. After all, other people were not much better now. Calculating the time, some people's nightmare Gu had already broken out. Even if they died, he would drag a group of people to take the blame for him.

If there is something or someone he really wants, there is probably only one person, the bright and clear Xu Luoge, the head of the Xu Sect, who is what he wants most. Unfortunately, the two have drifted apart and no longer have any intersection. Xu Luoge is very good to him, and is also good to others. He is not everything to him, but he is his only one. No one would have thought that this person's attitude towards him is no longer the same as before, and even disgusting, as if even looking at him would be a blasphemy. Why did things develop like this? Baili Qi never understood. Isn't his feelings for him obvious enough?

The thoughts in his mind made his hands move faster and harder. His sharp nails scratched his skin. Zhou Ming, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a sharp pain. He opened his eyes immediately and saw Baili Qi gently licking away the blood with the tip of his tongue.

Seeing Baili Qi's seductive appearance, Zhou Ming reacted immediately. Baili Qi bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from making any sweet sounds. The bed sheet was already wrinkled and veins bulged on the back of his fair hands. He imagined Zhou Ming as Xu Luoge, which made him feel not so uncomfortable and nauseous.
