Chapter 159 Retreat
Jiang Lisheng returned to the room, but did not lie down to sleep immediately. Instead, she tried to explore her spiritual palace. After a while, the spiritual palace was still empty and she could not gather any spiritual power at all. She was helpless and withdrew her hand in frustration and lay back on the bed.

The warm jade bed was so comfortable that she felt like falling asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.

When she heard the knock on the door, she thought Lou Qianyi and the other two had returned, and she said in a daze, "Come in by yourself."

Pei Rong was stunned for a moment, but still spoke: "Miss Jiang, it's me."

Jiang Lisheng opened his eyes with difficulty, sat up, walked to the door, opened it, and looked at Pei Rong, "What's wrong?"

Pei Rong whispered: "I remembered one thing. You asked me what else I had with me. There was one thing..."

"Come in and talk." Jiang Lisheng made way for the door.

Pei Rong paused and walked into the room.

After he came in, Jiang Lisheng reached out to close the door, motioned for him to sit at the table, and then sat down too.

Pei Rong sat down and whispered, "It was the letter you left when you and Master Wei left. I received it that day and have been carrying it with me ever since. But it's been a while, so I forgot about it."

Jiang Lisheng woke up suddenly, eyes wide open, "This... is it? It's just a letter, and you used your family's writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. Although it was written by Senior Brother Wei himself, it's just an ordinary letter."

Pei Rong heard her say this and shook his head, "Then there really is nothing else."

Jiang Lisheng took out the communication card and sent a message to Wei Qinglan, "Senior Brother Wei, Senior Brother Wei!"

After waiting for a while, there was no response from the message board.

Jiang Lisheng could only say: "Where is the letter now?"

"It must have rotted away. I don't have any of it anymore."

Jiang Lisheng thought about it and scratched his head. He picked up the communication card and sent a message to An Ruxu, "Senior Brother An!"

An Ruxu quickly replied, "Junior Sister Jiang!"

Jiang Lisheng omitted the polite words and said, "Brother An, do you know what Brother Wei is doing now? I can't contact him."

An Ruxu complained, "Junior Sister Jiang, you finally found me, but you still asked Junior Brother Wei."

His resentment came through the communication board, "We are the first two to know each other. Do you only have Junior Brother Wei in your eyes and heart? I am so sad."

Jiang Lisheng was embarrassed, "Um, Senior Brother An, I'm sorry, I'm looking for Senior Brother Wei for something serious."

An Ruxu was much more generous after hearing this. "Okay, I'll tell you, Junior Brother Wei suddenly went into seclusion the day before yesterday, and Uncle Zhou blocked the news from the outside. But since it's you, you definitely won't wish Junior Brother Wei bad luck, so I'll tell you!"

Jiang Lisheng was stunned, "Why is he in seclusion?"

Isn’t it said that he is in charge of Kunlun’s affairs now?

"It seems to be because of his cultivation. In the past six months, his cultivation has risen too fast, and he has not been able to calm down and consolidate it. Now he probably can't hold on any longer. Something went wrong and he can only go into seclusion." An Ruxu said, "Now the affairs of Kunlun are managed by Uncle Zhou from the Discipline Hall and the two uncles from Xianglu Peak and Jinchan Peak." Jiang Lisheng was immediately worried, "Why hasn't Sect Master Qin come out of seclusion yet?"

An Ruxu said, "The day you came to Qingxu was also the day Senior Brother Wei returned to the mountain. The Sect Master has been in seclusion for only two months at most. No matter how you calculate it, the Sect Master will not come out too soon."

"But Senior Brother Wei is still young. Why did Sect Master Qin give him the sect order before he went into seclusion? Now it has affected his practice." Jiang Lisheng said dissatisfiedly.

An Ruxu coughed, "The Sect Master probably didn't expect that after Senior Brother Wei jumped three levels to the middle stage of the Golden Core, he went to the secret realm again and jumped three levels again. In just half a year, he was promoted to the sixth level. Otherwise, he would definitely not interfere with him with the affairs of the sect."

Jiang Lisheng thought about it and it made sense. If it weren't for her, Senior Brother Wei wouldn't have been forced to reach the Nascent Soul stage all of a sudden. Could it be that he did it in a hurry before he went into seclusion to send a storage ring to his master?

An Ruxu didn't hear her sending another message, so she took the initiative to say, "Junior Sister Jiang, don't worry too much about Junior Brother Wei. He even made it through the Buzhou Divine Realm and came out safely. Even if he made some minor mistakes now, it's not a big deal. Maybe he'll be out in a few days."

Jiang Lisheng thought about it and it was true. She really didn't need to worry about Senior Brother Wei's ability. Instead of worrying about him, she should worry about herself. She said to An Ruxu, "Senior Brother An, let me tell you, the evil spirit that killed the entire Pei family might be a demon."

"What?" An Ruxu almost broke her voice.

Jiang Lisheng held the communication card farther away, rubbed his ears, and told him what Pei Rong had drawn and Shan Gao's description. Finally, he said, "Demons grow naturally. Even if they disappear, they can grow again after 20,000 years of nurturing by heaven and earth, right? It doesn't seem surprising."

"Why isn't it surprising? That's a demon, a demon." An Ruxu was almost out of control with fear. "The demon is so scary. It has the ability to devour everything and cover the sky and the sun. If the demon is resurrected and the world is dominated by the demon, then we will all become slaves of the demon."

Jiang Lisheng quickly said, "Calm down, Senior Brother An, calm down."

"I can't calm down." An Ruxu stamped her feet, but still couldn't calm down. "This is too scary, Sister Jiang, are you sure? How can you be so calm? That's a demon."

Jiang Lisheng was helpless. "Demons are ever-changing, and this thing may not be a demon. If it is a demon, it is said that it likes to kill, loves to kill, is happy to see blood, and devours everything it can to make itself stronger and stronger. But this thing only killed the Pei family and then withdrew. All the people in Hexin City are now safe. Maybe it's not a demon."

An Ruxu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. "I was scared to death. If you had said that earlier, I wouldn't be afraid."

He asked Jiang Lisheng, "You are looking for Brother Wei just for this matter?"

"Yes, tell Senior Brother Wei." Jiang Lisheng didn't tell the real reason. What reason could there be for an ordinary letter? She saw Senior Brother Wei write it with her own eyes, and she didn't see him cast a spell on it.

An Ruxu asked: "Master Yu is still with you, right? Does Master Yu know?"

"Yeah. I know."

An Ruxu told her, "That's good. Uncle Yu can't contact Junior Brother Wei, so he should look for Uncle Zhou and the others. In any case, since this thing looks like a demon, you, Junior Sister Jiang, must be careful. After you finish your business, hurry back to the sect!"

Jiang Lisheng said "hmm".

The two chatted for a while and then ended the communication.

Jiang Lisheng put away the communication card and said to Pei Rong who had been sitting opposite him and waiting quietly, "Brother Wei is in seclusion now, so we can't ask him, but when he left the letter for you, I was beside him. I am sure that he used ordinary writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. You can only think about it again. Is there anything unusual at that time that you overlooked?"

Pei Rong nodded.

Jiang Lisheng looked at him, remembered something, and said, "When there were many people in the Yun family earlier, I didn't tell you that you already have spiritual roots. Now that your body has been healed by my technique, it is equivalent to helping you reshape your spiritual roots for the second time. If you take the path of cultivation, you can get twice the result with half the effort. Do you want to enter the immortal gate?"
