I, Ye Chen, turned out to be a top expert

Chapter 1242 Chu Jiangnan

Ye Chen looked into the depths of the cave and saw that the cave had been transformed into a small courtyard.

The cave is quite large, and there are some chickens and ducks around the courtyard, as well as some vegetables planted in the garden.

Beside the fence, under the willow tree.

Two figures sat under the shade of a tree, seemingly quite happy.

If Kong Ji hadn't reminded him earlier that the woman was a spirit, Ye Chen...

One might even think that these are two people who have secluded themselves here.

Kong Ji saw Ye Chen looking at him with curiosity, and his voice rang in Ye Chen's mind.

“Young master, that man is Chu Jiangnan, a disciple of our Buddhist sect, and that woman is Chu Jiangnan’s wife, Qin Yue, who is now only a soul.”

"Moreover, this soul has been maintained for a long time, and it may dissipate at any moment."

“Once Qin Yue’s soul completely dissipates, Chu Jiangnan, who currently appears to be filled with adoration, will fall into the demonic path.”

Ye Chen turned around and looked at the empty space to the side. "In other words, the situation is not optimistic, and it is not as peaceful as we see it."

Kongji nodded.

Then he took a step forward.

"Master Uncle, Kongji has come to visit!"

Kong Ji looked at Chu Jiangnan in the cave with a respectful expression.

Under the shade of the tree, the woman named Qin Yue turned her head and glanced at him, while Chu Jiangnan, standing below the tree, seemed not to have heard Kong Ji's words.

His gaze was fixed intently on the woman in front of him, as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

"Master Uncle, Kongji has come to visit."

Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Kongji raised his voice.

"Shut up."

"Can't you see I'm taking care of my wife?"

"He doesn't have much time left!"

"And are we that close?"

"Please remember, my name is Chu Jiangnan."

"Not some Buddhist disciple you mentioned?"

"roll!"

In that instant, Chu Jiangnan's eyes turned bloodshot as he turned around.

His tone was icy cold, leaving no room for warmth.

It carried with it a madness that seemed to drag everyone's souls into the abyss.

Gone was the gentle and refined demeanor he had shown when facing Qin Yue; it was as if a demon had possessed his body.

hiss!

Upon seeing Chu Jiangnan's bloodshot eyes, Ye Chen gasped in shock, never expecting the other party to have changed so drastically.

"Husband!"

"Don't do that."

“Kongji is not a bad person. He even sent me a lot of treasures a few days ago. Otherwise, I would probably have completely disappeared by now and would not have had the chance to sit down and talk with my husband under the shade of the tree.”

Qin Yue heard Chu Jiangnan's icy voice, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. She reached out and patted Chu Jiangnan's back to comfort him.

Chu Jiangnan's eyes, which were bloodshot, slowly lost their coldness and bloodlust in that instant.

"What's the matter?"

"If there's any treasure, leave it here!"

I don't have time for you!

Although Chu Jiangnan had returned to normal at this moment, his tone remained cold, giving off an impression that strangers should not approach him.

“Uncle-Master, I did not bring any treasures today, but I brought someone with me who may be able to dispel the demon in your heart and help you let go of hatred and obsession.”

Despite being incredibly nervous, Kong Ji gritted his teeth and clenched his fists to say those words.

"boom!"

The moment the empty words fell, an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from Chu Jiangnan's body, and Chu Jiangnan became like a madman.

"Shut up!"

"Who said I've fallen into demonic possession?"

"I am who I am, I am who I am."

Chu Jiangnan's face contorted into a hideous grimace in that instant.

The others who followed hadn't even had a chance to see Chu Jiangnan's hideous, ghost-like face when their expressions changed drastically. They involuntarily took a few steps back, because in that instant, they seemed to sense the aura emanating from Chu Jiangnan that was about to drag them into a demonic abyss.

"waste!"

Standing beside Kong Ji, Ye Chen showed no fear and let out a cold snort.

"Ok?"

Chu Jiangnan hadn't paid any attention to Ye Chen at first, but upon hearing Ye Chen's words, his blood-red eyes locked onto Ye Chen, and his terrifying pressure seemed to want to break through the array's seal and kill Ye Chen.

"Aren't you a piece of trash?"

Do you think I said something wrong?

"What is a person who can't even protect his own wife if not a piece of trash?"

"If you truly possess extraordinary power, then why can't you guide your wife onto the path of immortality?"

Ye Chen stared directly into Chu Jiangnan's blood-red eyes and questioned him relentlessly, one question after another.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Kong Ji became extremely nervous, wondering if Chu Jiangnan would completely lose control at this moment.

Chu Jiangnan roared like a demon in that instant.

"Useless trash, is nothing but roaring?"

"And do you think it's the right thing to do to forcibly keep your wife's soul?"

“You forcibly keep your wife’s soul in the mortal world. Even if there are unpredictable means of gods and ghosts to protect it, once your wife’s soul dissipates, it will be a true dissipation, and she will not even have the chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation.”

"This isn't love?"

"It is heartless."

Ye Chen showed no politeness and shouted at them.

While everyone was in a panic, Chu Jiangnan, who had been roaring like a demon, quickly returned to normal, his eyes filled with despair.

"I'm a piece of trash!"

"I'm a piece of trash!"

"I was powerless to protect my wife; I could only watch helplessly as her soul was scattered."

“I originally thought that after three thousand years of cultivation and service to the Buddha, the Buddha would be moved and give my wife a chance to live, but it was no use.”

"When the demons passed by, they saw me suffering from lovesickness and gave me a treasure that allowed my wife's soul to live on, giving me a glimmer of hope."

Chu Jiangnan seemed about to lose his temper again at this moment.

Ye Chen said coldly, "Didn't you understand?"

"That thing will only deprive your wife of the chance to reincarnate, not to be redeemed."

"Moreover, this world has flaws in its natural order, so how can Buddha sense it or respond to you?"

"The reason for this result is that you are not strong enough. If you were strong enough, you would be able to defy fate and extend your wife's lifespan."

"But you didn't. If you had completely fallen into demonic possession, there might have been a glimmer of hope, and it would have been much better than it is now. But you didn't, because you hesitated."

"Since you say you are willing to give up everything for your wife, why haven't you completely fallen into the demonic path?"

Ye Chen's voice resounded in Chu Jiangnan's mind like a thunderclap.

Chu Jiangnan, who was on the verge of madness, suddenly trembled and his gaze fell on Ye Chen.

He knelt down on the ground with a thud.

At this moment, Chu Jiangnan was utterly desperate and on the verge of collapse.

Ye Chen felt sorry for Chu Jiangnan, and the coldness on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of pity. "I can save your wife, but it will take some time before you can be reunited."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Chu Jiangnan's eyes lit up with surprise, and he stared at Ye Chen in disbelief.
