After the light faded away, Ye Tianfan discovered that the place where the demon had stood now only had a pale purple stone left.
Realizing this, Ping Chu Zhenren nodded and said, "It seems that this time the seal went off without a hitch!"
Curious, Ye Tianfan picked up the pale purple stone and examined it. To him, it seemed like an ordinary mineral, except it was semi-transparent and pale purple.
Upon closer inspection, Ye Tianfan could vaguely see the shadow of a demon within it.
"Be careful not to let this sealing stone come into contact with evil qi. If it does, the demon will break out of the seal," Ping Chu Zhenren warned Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan nodded and then secretly stored it inside the Xuanhuang Tower, making sure no one saw him do it.
He planned to release it after returning to his sect and then kill it.
Here, the demon might be somewhat invincible, but at the Taichu Sect, the demon would be like a child. Surrounding it with an array and burning it fiercely until it turned to ashes.
Ping Chu Zhenren noticed Ye Tianfan storing away the demon's sealing stone but said nothing. Even if Ye Tianfan hadn't taken it, he would have, though he was somewhat curious. He clearly hadn't seen Ye Tianfan with any spatial magical treasures, yet he stored it away without a trace, sparking his curiosity.
The reason Ping Chu Zhenren thought Ye Tianfan used a spatial magical treasure to store the demon's sealing stone was that the stone was originally sealed by him, so he could sense where the stone was, but only at close range, beyond which he couldn't detect it.
When Ping Chu Zhenren suddenly felt the sealing stone disappear, he knew that Ye Tianfan had stored it in a spatial magical treasure.
On the surface, Ye Tianfan didn't seem to have any spatial magical treasures, as they generally come in four forms: rings, bracelets, small pouches, and necklaces, with few other types.
The reason these are the forms of spatial magical treasures is because they are easy to carry and hard to lose, which is why they typically come in these several forms.
This was why Ping Chu Zhenren found it odd, but he also marveled at Ye Tianfan's luck. Surely, the sect hadn't provided him with a spatial magical treasure as they didn't have enough themselves, and the spatial magical treasure won at the Nine Meridian Martial Meet was with Nephew Yun Tian. Junior Brother Tian Chu was known to only have one spatial magical treasure of his own, so Ye Tianfan's must have been acquired by himself.
No wonder his fellow disciples spoke of Ye Tianfan's unbeatable fortune, having gone on a couple of trainings and obtained three peerless magical treasures, two super demon pets, and this spatial magical treasure, not to mention the heart of a nine-headed demon dragon. If one said he wasn't heaven's favored child, it would feel like an injustice to his fortune.
After Ye Tianfan put away the sealing stone, he took the array banner and headed back to the array's edge to try to seal the remaining demons in the west.
But Zhi Chu Zhenren stopped Ye Tianfan and then looked at Lu Waner, saying.
"Are you not planning to reveal your true form? The strongest demon has been sealed, and the others are no match for us."
"Hmm?" Ye Tianfan looked at Lu Waner in surprise. What was going on? From Zhi Chu Zhenren's words, was this Lu Waner an imposter? Impossible, right?
Senior Brother Yun Tian also stood warily, and the Seven-Star Sword's tips all pointed at Lu Waner. He did not doubt Zhi Chu Zhenren's words, as Zhi Chu Zhenren was known for being meticulous. Being a healer, he wouldn't joke around, so when Zhi Chu Zhenren said something, it was generally true, unless Zhi Chu Zhenren himself had made a mistake.
At this moment, Ping Chu Zhenren also looked at Lu Waner vigilantly and asked, "Senior Brother Zhichu, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"No, although the appearance and spiritual power fluctuations are well-mimicked, there's one thing you overlooked, and that's the incorrect attitude when meeting Nephew Tianfan!" Zhi Chu Zhenren analyzed.
"Huh? Me?" Ye Tianfan looked at Zhi Chu Zhenren curiously, puzzled about what this had to do with him.
"Yes, when at Taiyi Peak, you complained to me several times, saying Tianfan inwardly looked down on women, and you often teased him, but I know you actually like him!" Zhi Chu Zhenren said, yet sighed softly in his heart, Lu Waner, your master can only help you this much. The rest depends on your fate. Nephew Tianfan is a good child, and I hope you seize the opportunity!
"Huh? Likes me?" Ye Tianfan was truly baffled this time, wondering how liking got involved.
Senior Brother Yun Tian was also taken aback. Did Junior Sister Lu Waner like Junior Brother Tianfan? That was a big scoop, though they were indeed a perfect match, a good-looking couple.
"Oh!" Ping Chu Zhenren reacted like an old rascal hearing juicy gossip. Were it not for the external threat, he might have even whistled, but he still let out a few exclamatory sounds.
"But since my arrival, your gaze towards Nephew Tianfan has been only plain, even your look at me lacks any closeness, so you are a fake. Tell me, where is the real Lu Waner?" Zhi Chu Zhenren continued.
Hearing this, "Lu Waner" smiled and said, "I didn't expect to be found out, but it seems you know your disciple well. You're a good teacher, unlike my master, who left me here to buy time and then just fled.
So I didn't stop you from sealing the demons because, as someone abandoned, I saw no need to loyally fulfill the task given by the one who discarded me. So go ahead and do as you will—kill or torture—I won't resist!"
Upon hearing this, Zhi Chu Zhenren was taken aback. They had not expected this counterfeit to speak in such a manner. They had considered that the fake "Lu Waner" might deny or resist, and had prepared responses, but they hadn't anticipated this "Lu Waner" would be so straightforward in admitting everything, even not resisting, surrendering completely to Ye Tianfan and the others!
