Chapter 75 [Jiaozhu] Chen Lian comes uninvited to obtain the Lingzhu

Chen Lian carried A Jiang and returned to the Jingling Water Pavilion in a flash, and his figure could not be seen at all.

After returning to Jingling Water Pavilion, Chen Lian hurriedly took the man to the bathroom. He looked around for a towel to clean A Jiang's wound.

This was caused by the Demon Refining Whip, and it is not an ordinary injury. If it is not treated, it will probably get worse. Besides, A Jiang has given him the mermaid pearl. The mermaid does not have the mermaid pearl, and her saliva has no healing function, so she cannot heal her own wound.

That’s right!

Mermaid Pearl!

"How do I take the mermaid pearl out?" Chen Lian was a little anxious. The mermaid pearl was put into Ajiang's body, and he didn't know how to take it out. He was worried that if he took it out forcibly, it would damage the mermaid pearl's energy. Even if the mermaid pearl returned to Ajiang's body, it would not be able to play any role.

"It can't be taken out, it's useless." A Jiang looked at Shen Lian weakly and raised his hand to touch him.

"Why?" Chen Lian took the hand that A Jiang extended to him. "Then what will you do?"

Ah Jiang thought that since Chen Lian was so worried about their relationship being discovered, he simply cast a sealing spell on it when he gave Chen Lian the mermaid pearl, so that no one could take it out, not even himself or Chen Lian.

Unless he dies, the seal can never be lifted.

"No problem, I'm happy to protect you."

Hearing this, Shen Lian felt mixed emotions. He tore off A Jiang's clothes bit by bit, then soaked the cloth in his hand and carefully wiped it on A Jiang's skin, fearing to hurt him, and even blew on it with his mouth.

When Chen Lian was young, he often treated the wounds himself. He was very skilled and quickly finished it, wrapping A Jiang like a mummy.

"Without the mermaid pearl, this is the only way. I'm sorry to have troubled you." Chen Lian stroked A Jiang's face. He hadn't noticed before that there were faint whip marks on A Jiang's face. He applied the ointment evenly on A Jiang's face.

He must get to the bottom of who was spreading the rumors and who wanted to harm him, and he must not let A Jiang suffer in vain.

Within three days, Shen Lian found out. What he didn't expect was that Yu Jinlan was still alive. Jing Yinchuan didn't kill her. He was really useless and let her escape.

He sat on the high hall and looked at Yu Jinlan. Yu Jinlan knelt in the middle and didn't dare to speak. Upon hearing this, Qian Zhao hurried over, fearing that Yu Jinlan would confess that he was the mastermind.

Shen Lian's gaze was like a sharp sword, pointing directly at Yu Jinlan, his eyes flashing with anger and determination.

"Master, is there some misunderstanding here? Now that Jinlan is back, let her settle down first."

Chen Lian slammed the table, and the cup on the table shook out the tea due to the vibration.

This shout frightened Yu Jinlan to death. She crawled towards Qian Zhao and knelt before him, "Elder, I just heard it from others. I didn't mean it!"

Yu Jinlan held on to Qian Zhao's skirt tightly as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw. Now only Qian Zhao could save her and give her a glimmer of hope.

"It's not intentional? Yu Jinlan, do you believe what you said?" Shen Lian said in a deep voice, obviously very dissatisfied with Qian Zhao's arrival. What could Qian Zhao's coming here mean? This matter is also related to Qian Zhao.

He knew from the beginning that Qian Zhao wanted to move up in status. Now that he was already the head of the elders, he still wanted the position of the sect leader. It was simply a dream!

Even if he were to pass on his throne to an ordinary disciple, he would never pass it on to someone who was determined to put him on the edge of a knife.

"Master, spare me!" Yu Jinlan knew that since Chen Lian had found her, he must have known everything. So no amount of argument would explain it. She could only blame the demons. "Jing Yinchuan told me to do this. That's right! It's all his fault!"

Chen Lian was so angry that she laughed, "He asked you to do this, and you did it? Where did you forget the respect for morality that your master taught you?"

"Master, spare my life!"

"Don't call me Master. I don't have a disciple like you. From today on, Yu Jinlan is expelled from the Cang Qiong Sect." He glanced at Yu Jinlan and finally set his sights on Qian Zhao. "What do you have to say, Elder Qian?"

Qian Zhao didn't dare to refute, worried about what Chen Lian knew. Since Yu Jinlan was no longer useful as a chess piece, he would abandon her. "The Sect Master is right. Such a person should be expelled and die!"

Yu Jinlan looked at her uncle in disbelief. When she was making a name for herself in the palace, it was this uncle whom she had never met who asked her to come to the Cang Qiong Sect to practice Taoism and become an immortal. He also talked about how deep the relationship between him and her mother was. She thought her uncle would treat her well, because all the difficult things she encountered after joining the Cang Qiong Sect were handled by Qian Zhao.

And now——

Was she abandoned by Qian Zhao?

Qian Zhao decisively abandoned her when he saw that she was useless, without caring about the blood relationship between them.

In that case, she will drag Qian Zhao into this too!

"It's him—!" Before she could finish her words, she felt a chill down her body. She looked down and saw Qian Zhao's life sword piercing her chest. "You..."

Yu Jinlan was spitting blood and her words were unclear, but Qian Zhao knew what she was saying, so he pushed the sword in again, piercing her entire chest.

Seeing this, Shen Lian's gloomy face improved a little. He walked off the stage and looked at the dead Yu Jinlan. He was very satisfied with what Qian Zhao had done. He wanted them to fight each other. He wanted Qian Zhao to kill Yu Jinlan with his own hands. Yu Jinlan must have felt bad for dying at the hands of a blood relative.

This was not enough, it was much worse than he thought. It was far from enough for him to avenge A Jiang. The next one was Qian Zhao.

After this incident, Qian Zhao will surely be prepared, and by then he will be able to eliminate this worry. Qian Zhao is the head of the elders, and it is not easy to move. If Qian Zhao is still in his previous position, then Qian Zhao should be devoured by thousands of ants!

He wanted to execute Qian Zhao for a legitimate reason.

"Well done! The body has been cleaned up. Don't let me hear this name again. Also, the rumors out there have been dealt with as well. Anyone spreading them again will be killed without mercy!"

"yes."

Shen Lian's words revealed an unquestionable determination. His eyes were as cold as ice in winter, making people dare not look directly at him. He knew that Qian Zhao's ambitions and methods were far more than this, but he would not easily let go of anyone who wanted to kill him.

Qian Zhao lowered his head, seemingly agreeing respectfully, but his heart was turbulent. He knew that Shen Lian had begun to doubt him, and this incident was undoubtedly a warning. If he didn't do something, Yu Jinlan's fate would be his.

Chen Lian returned to Jingling Water Pavilion, feeling a sense of satisfaction. He looked at the mermaid mummy lying on the bed, untied the bandages easily, and applied medicine to A Jiang.

"The rumor was spread by Yu Jinlan, but she is already dead."

"How did she know?" Ah Jiang couldn't believe it. Chen Lian was so careful, how could she be discovered by others? "She was eavesdropping?"

"I don't know." Chen Lian said. If it was really as A Jiang said, then he deserved to die.

This matter soon calmed down, and then the incident of the goddess becoming Jing Yinchuan's foot-washing witch became a hot topic.

It is said that Yan Ru wanted to get the spirit pearl back, so she made a bet with Jing Yinchuan. After losing, she was asked to be a foot-washing demon girl for a month. Yan Ru also kept her promise and went to the demon world obediently.

Before this, Chen Lian thought that since A Jiang gave him his own mermaid pearl, he would use the pearl to replenish A Jiang.

Coincidentally, in order to publicize that he had won the bet with Yan Ru, Jing Yinchuan specially held a banquet in Fuyou Palace and invited the leaders of various major sects.

Everyone already knows that Jing Yinchuan belongs to His Majesty Jing from the Demon Realm, so who would dare to go there?

Chen Lian dared to come to the Floating Palace with A Jiang first, but was blocked at the door by the demon soldiers guarding the gate because he came uninvited.

Jing Yinchuan invited all the major sects, but not Cang Qiong.

The demon soldier didn't know that the person in front of him was the dreaded Shen Lian in the world of cultivation. He pretended to tie him up and take him in. He thought that such a handsome man would be a great choice to use as a cauldron.

Chen Lian raised his hand and knocked the two demon soldiers away, then pulled A Jiang in openly.

This was Chen Lian's first time in the Floating Palace. He had no idea where he was or where the main banquet hall was. However, as he walked, he saw a familiar figure.

That was Yan Ru. Yan Ru was dressed in black, and even the oath she swore was that of a demon. She was holding a basin in her hand.

"Sect Master Shen?" Yan Ru also saw Shen Lian, "Sect Master Shen is here too."

Yan Ru didn't know that Jing Yinchuan didn't invite Chen Lian, nor did she know that this banquet was set up for Chen Lian.

Chen Lian was not used to seeing Yan Ru like this.

"What are you doing..." He glanced at what Yan Ru was holding, "What are you doing with a basin of water?"

"Foot washing water." Yan Ru smiled.

"I never thought the goddess could really let go of her status."

Anyone with a brain knows that Yan Ru stayed behind for the Lingzhu, and the Lingzhu must not fall into the hands of the demons. If they discover the alien species, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Sect Master Shen, you're joking." Jing Yinchuan appeared in front of them from nowhere. "Sect Master Shen, are you here to attend the banquet? If I remember correctly, you weren't invited. But everyone who comes is a guest, so there's no reason to turn them away."

Jing Yinchuan gestured for invitation and pointed in the direction of the main banquet hall. After Chen Lian and A Jiang left, he looked at Yan Ru with a half-smile.

"Go and change into the clothes I prepared for you."

Yan Ru didn't understand what Jing Yinchuan was going to do, but as a maid now, she naturally would not go against her master's wishes.

Chen Lian took his seat first, and Jing Yinchuan arrived shortly afterwards.

There were only three of them in the hall, so Jing Yinchuan didn't beat around the bush.

"I believe Sect Master Shen has no real purpose for coming here. I failed to invite Sect Master Shen because I have other motives." Jing Yinchuan raised his glass with a slight smile on his face. "Sect Master Shen has been possessed by a demon."

Upon hearing this, A Jiang looked at Jing Yinchuan in surprise, remembering that day when he came back from Yinyou Valley, he felt a demonic aura coming out of Shen Lian's body.

Chen Lian and A Jiang had the same reaction. He was very curious about how Jing Yinchuan knew about it when he had hidden it so well that even A Jiang didn't know about it.
