The old man saw that Shen Xian ignored him and was thinking about how the two of them had cooperated with Zhang Yan just now. He thought they must be hiding something, but given their personalities, they definitely wouldn't tell the truth. So, he stopped asking questions and turned to leave.
Shi Yi and Shen Xian breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the old man leave.
Zhang Yan didn't react. Instead, he turned to look at the fallen leaves on the lake, his eyes sinking. He said, "Thank you."
Shen Xian had already known about Mu Anxiao using demonic arts when he was in the Demon Realm. He just hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. Seeing this scene today, he felt a sense of crisis for her.
"This is what we should do, but," Shen Xian walked to Zhang Yan's side, "paper cannot wrap fire. If she continues like this, they will definitely discover her."
"I'm a demon, so it's fine if I use demonic arts?" Shi Yi thought of himself and felt that Mu Anxiao should be fine doing that.
Zhang Yan turned to look at Shi Yi, who had a confused expression, and said, "Try your demonic arts."
"I..."
"Try using your demonic arts to clear these fallen leaves."
"Okay." Shi Yi agreed, concentrated, and stared intently ahead. After a moment, he asked, "Is it really okay?" He was worried about attracting those gods and immortals.
Zhang Yan said, "Try it." He knew what he was doing.
"Alright." Shi Yi nodded, took a deep breath, stepped forward, brushed past Zhang Yan, stopped by the lake, and slowly extended his hand, trying to concentrate and use demonic arts to clear the leaves.
After several attempts, there was no reaction at all.
"What's going on?" Shi Yi looked at his hands in astonishment and asked.
"Your spiritual energy is too low," Zhang Yan replied casually.
"Huh?" Shi Yi was stunned.
Zhang Yan looked at Shi Yi's slow reaction and thought about his usual lazy nature, always avoiding hard work. He returned to the main topic and said, "Many have cultivated from demons to immortals, and some immortals also know demonic arts, but it's for the needs of their immortal positions. However, you, without an immortal position, naturally don't need to use demonic arts, so your master dispelled it for you."
"How come I didn't know?"
"From the moment you cultivated your first layer of spiritual energy, your demonic energy began to counter your spiritual energy. It's quite obvious," Zhang Yan reached out and patted Shi Yi's shoulder, "your demonic energy is inferior to your spiritual energy, so it was dispelled."
"What?" Shi Yi was shocked. He looked down at his hands, which had completely lost their demonic energy, and said, "So, I won't be able to use demonic arts anymore." His eyes became unfocused.
All this time, Shi Yi's excuse for being lazy was that he knew demonic arts. Some demonic arts and spells had common points, so he thought that one day when he went to the mortal realm to complete a mission, he could use demonic arts even if he didn't know spells.
Who would have thought that all of that was just his wishful thinking? He was already useless.
"Didn't Master tell you earlier?" Shen Xian remembered the old man saying this to Shi Yi.
Zhang Yan glanced at Shen Xian, who was taking this seriously, and then at Shi Yi, who spent his days digging holes and sleeping. He said, "He just goes through life idly. If he listened to your master, pigs would fly."
Connecting Zhang Yan's words, Shen Xian couldn't help but recall Shi Yi's arrogant attitude towards him recently, and the time wasted due to Shi Yi just now. He was too lazy to speak up for Shi Yi anymore, "The timing is just right."
"Yes, otherwise, my disciple would have been finished," Zhang Yan said, beginning to worry about Mu Anxiao.
Shi Yi said, "I need to cultivate properly." He then looked at Zhang Yan and asked, "What about Mu Anxiao?"
Zhang Yan sighed and said, "Before she does something foolish again, I need to go talk to her."
"You're going down?" Shi Yi was excited. He hadn't seen Mu Anxiao for a long time and was eager to see her.
Zhang Yan looked at Shi Yi's impatient expression and thought about his spiritual energy, which couldn't even defeat half a demon. He said, "You'd better forget it."
"Why?"
"You're too fragile," Zhang Yan said casually and walked away.
Shi Yi was stunned. Just as he was about to follow Zhang Yan, Shen Xian grabbed his collar. "You're not allowed to go."
Hearing this, Shi Yi didn't dare to struggle. He turned to look at Shen Xian, "I'm going to discuss it with him."
"You? You're not going down at all." Saying this, Shen Xian handed the broom in his hand to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi asked, "What are you doing?"
Shen Xian had never made Shi Yi help him before, so his sudden action startled Shi Yi.
Shen Xian continued to offer the broom and said, "If you don't do it, I'll consider you my senior brother."
"You..."
"Master assigns disciples to go down to the mortal realm according to their order. Now Shen Lu has this qualification. As long as you work hard, it will be you. Of course," Shen Xian glanced at the broom in his hand, "if you don't cooperate with me, I'll say a few words to Master, and you know the consequences."
"I'll sweep," Shi Yi grabbed the broom.
Shen Xian was very pleased with Shi Yi's attitude and let go of his collar, stepping back half a step. "From now on, listen to me, or don't blame me for talking to Master."
As the former senior disciple, Shen Xian had observed Shi Yi during his free time and concluded that his spiritual energy was weak. If he performed well in front of the old man, he could easily switch places with him.
However, Shen Xian didn't want to do that. He just wanted to focus on his own duties.
Shen Xian was only threatening Shi Yi like this to temper him, nothing more.
"I'll listen to you."
Before this, Shi Yi had always thought he was much more powerful than Shen Xian. After what just happened, he recognized his own abilities and knew that listening to Shen Xian was the right choice.
"I'll use magic to get the leaves from the lake, and you sweep."
"Okay."
"Hey!" Shen Xian was preparing to cast a spell when he turned to look at Shi Yi, who was close to him, and said, "Move back."
"Why?" Shi Yi held the broom, ready to work at any moment.
Shen Xian replied, "The leaves will have water on them later and splash all over you, so don't blame me."
Shi Yi had always hated water the most. Every bath was an ordeal for him. So, after hearing Shen Xian's words, he took a few steps back voluntarily.
Seeing Shi Yi's cooperation, Shen Xian's lips curved, and he began to cast the spell.
Mortal Realm.
The moment Mu Anxiao and Wan Sha withdrew their hands, the wall that had been surrounded by red light disappeared.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao breathed a sigh of relief. "It's done."
Wan Sha hummed and turned to look at Mu Anxiao, who had cooperated with her so perfectly. She said, "I helped you."
"And then?" Mu Anxiao turned to look at Wan Sha.
