Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 566 - 226: Midnight Malevolent Spirits

For a moment, everyone looked at Xia Qinglian.

Actually, they were curious too. Back on Cyan Lotus Mountain, no man had ever gotten close to the Saintess.

Let alone being so intimate with the Saintess.

They found it hard to imagine that such a cold and proud Saintess would have any ambiguous relationship with a man.

Especially Xue Wen, at this moment, his hands tightened, his body slightly trembling.

Afraid of hearing an unacceptable answer.

"You will find out in the future."

But Xia Qinglian did not directly answer the question, just said it lightly.

Actually, she herself didn’t know how to put it.

After all, in the minds of these people, she was the supreme Saintess, and if they suddenly learned that the Saintess was already married, it would be hard for these people to accept.

Xia Qinglian wasn’t afraid of losing face; she was just worried that Xue Wen might impulsively harm Qin Gengyun.

Then it would be difficult as she would be caught between her sect members and her husband.

Xia Qinglian thought for a moment, then reminded them again: "Remember, regardless of what happens, you must not act against him, understand?"

This statement was cold, full of authority, and the crowd felt a huge oppressive force, almost kneeling on the spot, quickly agreeing.

Xia Qinglian’s figure vanished, and after a long time, everyone finally stood up.

Xue Wu sighed and said to Xue Wen: "Brother, you shouldn’t have asked the Saintess."

Xue Wen looked dejected, holding his brother’s arm: "Xue Wu, do you think the Saintess really has feelings for that man..."

"Ouch!" Xue Wu’s arm was almost twisted off by him, quickly breaking free from the guy, helplessly saying:

"What kind of person is the Saintess, how could she fancy a mere Golden Core Cultivator? I’ve observed that the Saintess is just hiding her identity, at most slightly kind to him, she’s even closer to you."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true! What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, Elder Wen is right, only Elder Wu in this world is worthy of the Saintess!"

"Hahaha, you have good taste."

Xue Wen laughed heartily, very satisfied, patting Xue Wu’s shoulder:

"I’m going to Yunling Town now, Xue Wu, make sure to protect the Saintess well, don’t be careless!"

With that, he hurried down the mountain, couldn’t help but reach into his chest, gently touching the red veil inside, laughed again, and soon disappeared.

Watching his brother’s joyful back, Xue Wu shook his head, muttering:

"Brother, you’re too naive. With the Saintess’s temperament, if the person isn’t extremely important, how would she be willing to sit so intimately on the Phoenix Bird Beast with him?"

"Someone’s coming!"

At this moment, the sentry on the sidelines quickly came to report, and Xue Wu quickly called the crowd to retreat far away.

Soon, Su Xin, Jian Yue, Wei Wan, Chun Ningzhi arrived at the lotus pond.

Su Xin thanked the three: "Thank you, junior brothers and sisters, for being willing to assist me."

Originally, Su Xin planned to investigate alone on Cyan Lotus Mountain tonight, not expecting Jian Yue, Chun Ningzhi, and Wei Wan to actively seek her out. Su Xin was overjoyed, and the four went out to investigate under the night.

However, Su Xin didn’t know, Jian Yue and Wei Wan, the two "traitors," only wanted to see what she could find.

As for Chun Ningzhi, he just wanted to take the opportunity to accompany Junior Sister Xiyue.

At this moment, Chun Ningzhi was righteously: "Senior Sister Suxin, it’s our duty to do our best for the sect!"

Su Xin nodded and continued: "When the two Junior Martial Uncles died, the master and Junior Martial Uncle Leng sensed the aura of the Ten Thousand Swords Array, which should be on this Cyan Lotus Mountain. Junior Sister Wei’s Qingbo Sword is most sensitive to Sword Qi, please, Junior Sister Wei."

Wei Wan nodded, her slender hand opened, and a long sword like rippling blue waves appeared in mid-air.

Wei Wan closed her eyes as the Qingbo Sword slowly flew around the lotus pond.

The three stood guard on the side, Chun Ningzhi glanced at Jian Yue beside him, suddenly transmitted a message using Sound Transmission Talisman:

"Junior Sister Ye, I heard you went to where the female disciples reside?"

Jian Yue glanced at him, Chun Ningzhi hesitated, finally couldn’t help but continue transmitting:

"Junior Sister Ye, did He Zhiqiu go to Junior Sister Ruo’s room, did you also follow?"

Jian Yue appeared cold, a hint of mockery in her eyes, immediately nodded.

Chun Ningzhi’s expression dimmed: "Junior Sister Ye, what, what on earth do you like about He Zhiqiu?"

Jian Yue’s lips slightly curled up, transmitted: "I like everything."

Chun Ningzhi was stunned, biting his lip: "Junior Sister Ye, if I were like He Zhiqiu, would you... would you like me?"

Jian Yue almost burst into laughter, teasing this admirer was truly amusing, she continued transmitting:

"Senior Brother Chun, then you should work hard and learn from Zhiqiu."

"Found it!"

Wei Wan suddenly spoke, her Qingbo Sword suspended in a spot, trembling continuously.

The four immediately rushed over, Su Xin’s palm aimed at the ground, soil splattered, soon a huge pit appeared.

Apparently someone had covered it with soil, now revealing the pit below, there were countless sword marks inside, roughly a thousand.

Su Xin waved her hand, spiritual power surged out, the pit grew larger and larger, filled with numerous sword marks, densely packed, spread over the entire rear mountain!

Still immersed in the admirer world, Chun Ningzhi was shocked, murmuring: "So the whole rear mountain bears the marks of the Ten Thousand Swords Array, just concealed by someone."

Wei Wan’s face turned pale: "Is this the Ten Thousand Swords Array?"

Su Xin’s expression was grave: "Junior Martial Uncle Shi and Junior Martial Uncle Wei were indeed killed here. Who could possibly slay two Junior Martial Uncles simultaneously?"

Jian Yue remained silent.

Suddenly, the other three exchanged glances, Chun Ningzhi’s voice trembled:

"Could it be... Xia Qinglian?"

Su Xin immediately shook her head: "Impossible! I witnessed the Celestial Ridge Mountain battle, although I couldn’t participate, I saw Xia Qinglian die. Junior Sister Ye, you were closest, you should know better, right?"

They all looked at Ye Xiyue, among the Commanding Disciples, only Ye Xiyue had the qualification to join that battle.

Ye Xiyue was severely injured from it, her cultivation plummeted, she knew best whether Xia Qinglian was alive or dead.

Jian Yue coldly stated: "Of course, I was the first to wound Xia Qinglian, she’s already dead."

Su Xin said: "But who else besides Xia Qinglian could kill both Junior Martial Uncles with the Ten Thousand Swords Array?"

Wei Wan bowed her head, saying nothing, as a figure appeared in her mind.

Could it be Ruo Mei?

She... is Xia Qinglian?

At this moment, Su Xin’s Sound Transmission Talisman lit up, inside was Zhou Ling’Er’s panicked voice:

"Senior sister, where are you? Something happened!"

...

Front mountain.

In a forest dozens of feet away from the residences of Zhenyang Sect disciples.

The quiet and dark woods illuminated by the Everlasting Lamp, dozens of disciples surrounded an open space, all pale-faced.

"What’s going on?" Su Xin and the other three rushed over, immediately stunned.

There were two corpses on the ground.

They were dressed in the Purple Sun Brocade Robe of Zhenyang Sect Inner Sect Disciples, but their appearances were no longer recognizable.

Because these two were completely shriveled, they had turned into two mummies!
