Chapter 365 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [41]
In an instant, the flowers outside the Demon Emperor's Palace flourished, and demonic energy spread.
Jiang Xiyu suddenly picked up Yuejia and returned to the Demon Emperor's Palace. Seeing that the evil aura on his body had been completely covered up, he didn't even have time to say anything. He just gave him a deep look and then hurriedly left.
Just in case, Jiang Xiyu could only use the traces of evil thoughts that clung to her to lure Shijia away first.
The night was quiet, and the moonlight was like water.
A swift cat-like figure broke the silence. Jiang Xiyu leaped over the continuous palaces and saw that a Buddhist magic array was about to take shape in the night sky above the First Domain. He immediately transformed into a purple stream of light and headed towards the Demon King's Mansion where Xiu Jie was located.
The prayer beads were meant to protect him, which is why they attracted the strange activity.
If Shiga were to arrive, the evil thoughts that Jiang Xiyu had acquired due to Yuejia's 'incitement' would surely be discovered by Shiga.
Getting infected once can be accidental, but getting infected a second time seems too coincidental.
Shiga will definitely investigate, and Jiang Xiyu cannot be sure that his lies will escape his watchful eye. What's worse right now is that he is worried that Shiga will extract his memories.
Jiang Xiyu had already witnessed Shiga's abilities on the way to the demon realm. Shiga did not ask the snake demon any questions about evil thoughts, but simply used his divine sense to extract the part about evil thoughts from the snake demon's brain by plucking a flower with his hand.
If Yuejia hadn't been cautious and kept his tracks well hidden, Jiang Xiyu would have worried that he would be exposed. In fact, when Shijia was extracting his memories, Jiang Xiyu had already made the worst-case scenario plan and was willing to risk being suspected by Shijia in order to eliminate the snake demon as a potential threat.
Now this hidden danger has become our own...
Jiang Xiyu sighed. Yuejia had hidden herself from the snake demon, but she hadn't concealed herself from him. If Shijia were to probe his memories, the traces Yuejia had left in Jiang Xiyu's heart would certainly not be hidden either.
If it can't be erased, then it can only be another memory.
Since lying couldn't fool Shiga's discerning eye, he decided to tell the truth.
Jiang Xiyu suddenly looked up at the magic array above her head, her pupils narrowing sharply and gleaming with a ghostly light.
Putting everything else aside, he is, after all, a dignified Demon Emperor, and this is in the Demon Realm, where Tu Mi's demonic power provides cover, so he still has time.
Jiang Xiyu steadied himself and slowly stopped. A dark blue barrier spread out from beneath his feet, instantly creating a spiritual energy barrier that enveloped him.
The inside and outside of the barrier were like two separate spaces. Time flowed slowly inside the barrier, while everything outside remained normal.
In an instant, the night sky changed dramatically, and the magic array was complete.
Above the first domain, the aurora was replaced by the Buddhist light emanating from the magic array. In the center of the array, a golden lotus slowly bloomed. When it bloomed to its fullest extent, the golden scriptures around it materialized and swirled around the array like a galaxy. The array seemed to condense the chanting of Buddhist temples, as if it were a guiding call from the most distant place.
The immense pressure emanated gently, without causing any disturbance in the demon realm.
But all the demons in the First Domain came out of their caves and curiously watched this scene.
In an instant, the city was teeming with people.
The barrier surrounding Jiang Xiyu was dissolved by this oppressive force, and he was now inside the formation. As if inside the barrier, the blood that had been stagnant in his body began to flow normally again. The next moment, this blood flow, accompanied by intense pain, swept over his heart.
Instantly, a metallic sweetness filled my throat.
Jiang Xiyu forced himself to endure it, transformed back into human form, and knelt on the ground.
No one will know what Jiang Xiyu did to himself within the barrier at that moment.
Just like now, he himself can't remember clearly; the memories in his mind are sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic.
The light and shadow on the ground gradually brightened, and Jiang Xiyu closed her eyes briefly before opening them again.
A dazzling spiritual light emanated from the lotus stamen, like the gentle radiance of Buddha, and at this moment, it fell entirely upon Jiang Xiyu's shoulder.
When the Buddha's light touched the evil thoughts on Jiang Xiyu's body, the golden lotus array above his head began to rotate.
The Sanskrit characters around the magic circle gathered towards the vortex, and gradually, a sword blade forged from Sanskrit characters shot down from the sky accompanied by dazzling spiritual light.
Jiang Xiyu quietly looked up at the sword intent formed by the Buddha's light, without dodging.
Because as long as you accept Shiga's sword intent of the magic array, you can completely destroy the evil aura on your body.
As the sharp golden light entered his eyes, Jiang Xiyu's originally unfocused pupils suddenly swelled uncontrollably, until they became a black line that eerily sank into his golden pupils.
With her flowing robes billowing like clouds, Jiang Xiyu stood quietly in place, then closed her eyes and went to greet her.
In that instant, all sounds around me ceased.
It felt like an eternity had passed, but the expected pain did not come.
Just as Jiang Xiyu was about to open her eyes, she was suddenly caught off guard and fell into a cold embrace.
The incense from the temple lingered in the air, like newly melted snow.
The arm around his shoulder tightened slightly, while the other hand gripping his wrist was as cold as jade, as if it carried the frost and snow of the Tianshan Mountains.
The prayer beads swayed gently in the air, making a crisp sound.
Shiga appeared beside Jiang Xiyu and caught him.
At that moment, the sword blade formed from spiritual light shattered inch by inch, and the shattered magical power swept across the night sky like ripples, stirring up chaos among the distant blooming flowers. The golden lotus array in the night sky also dissipated like smoke.
A cold gaze fell on Jiang Xiyu's face, as if questioning him, or perhaps wondering why he didn't look away.
Jiang Xiyu felt the chilly aura so close at hand.
His eyelids fluttered, and when he opened his eyes, he met Shiga's calm and still gaze.
Jiang Xiyu immediately feigned fear and pressed his thin ears back, staring at Shijia for a long while before softly calling out, "Master..."
Shiga's gaze was fixed on him, his eyes reflecting Jiang Xiyu's pale face.
His eyes were so deep that the moment Jiang Xiyu looked into them, it was as if she saw herself in Shiga's eyes, pale and enduring pain.
And because of the gaze that fell on his face, so full of compassion and pity, it seemed to soothe all the unease and distress in people's hearts.
Just moments ago, the memories that were chaotic and incomprehensible even to Jiang Xiyu herself suddenly became clearer, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun.
Jiang Xiyu created a memory using a barrier, a memory intended to deceive everyone.
In that memory, he was attacked by evil thoughts in the Demon Emperor's Palace and seriously injured because he absorbed Shiga's merits into his body.
In his memory, the evil thought that attacked Jiang Xiyu was a dark shadow. Even if Shiga extracted that memory of evil thought from Jiang Xiyu's sea of consciousness, it would ultimately leave no trace, just like the time with the snake demon.
To make it more realistic, Jiang Xiyu was seriously injured inside the barrier. After the barrier dissipated, his senses returned to normal as time passed, and he felt pain.
Jiang Xiyu slowly inhaled a breath of cold air, sweat dampening his temples, and the veins on his forehead showing as he suppressed his emotions.
The self-inflicted injury strategy seems a bit too harsh on oneself.
Jiang Xiyu smiled bitterly to himself, then leaned against Shijia, his body trembling slightly.
Shiga did not speak. Seeing the pain in Jiang Xiyu's eyes, he infused him with his magic to relieve the pain.
However, when he was donating merit, his hand paused.
Jiang Xiyu glanced sideways at his paused hand, then lowered her eyes to conceal her emotions.
He knew that Shiga had detected the aura of evil.
Jiang Xiyu knew he would discover it before the golden light struck.
His expression remained calm, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Shiga lowered her gaze, looking at his pale face. She paused for only a moment before continuing to soothe his pain.
However, his gaze had never lingered on Jiang Xiyu's face for so long before.
This is the first time.
