Chapter 76 [Jiaozhu] After obtaining the spirit pearl, Chen Lian wants to kill A Jiang

"Isn't what I said correct?" Jing Yinchuan saw a flash of panic in Shen Lian's eyes, and then returned to normal. He knew this because he had seen the alien species, and the alien species had told him this news. At first he didn't believe it, but now after testing it, he was sure.

The alien also told him that Shen Lian had a foolish fantasy of wanting to dominate the three realms. As long as he made good use of it, he would surely achieve great things.

Of course, knowing this information would come at a price. He had already promised the alien to deal with Yan Ru, and to use his own blood to create a body for the alien. He knew that the alien was difficult to control, so he took the opportunity to erase all of the alien's past memories and make him obey him.

Chen Lian was not in a hurry to admit it. He didn't know where Jing Yinchuan got the news. There was no direct evidence to prove that he was possessed, so he couldn't be led by the nose.

"Possessed by demons?" Shen Lian sneered, "What I hate most is the demons. If it weren't for you, how could the world not be peaceful?"

"Sect Master Shen keeps saying he hates the demons, but isn't he attending this banquet? He keeps saying he hates the monsters, but isn't he colluding with them?" Jing Yinchuan pointed at A Jiang, who was standing obediently behind Shen Lian. "Sect Master Shen, ask yourself, isn't that right?"

Shen Lian slammed his hands on the table, feeling as if he had been seen through. His heart was beating rapidly. How did Jing Yinchuan know this? Did Yu Jinlan tell him?

He really doesn't hate the demons or the monsters.

Saying that he hated the demons was just an act in front of outsiders. After all, he was the leader of the Cang Qiong Sect. If he didn't set an example, how could he establish his authority?

He said he hated the demon race, but he only hated some of them. Those who looked average but still wanted to climb into his bed were the most disgusting. He would never let those demons get their wish, so he pretended to be their demon slaves and slowly tortured them until they died.

He didn't know that he was a man of bad words and deeds, and he would not actually act on what he said. He didn't care about these things over the years because those people followed his words blindly and didn't doubt anything at all because they were all fools.

"How do you want to be?"

"No one dared to come to this banquet, except Sect Master Shen, who came uninvited. I guess Sect Master Shen came for the Spirit Pearl, right?" Jing Yinchuan took out the Spirit Pearl from his Qiankun bag. It was a transparent and colorless bead with a black and a golden dot inside. Spiritual energy emanated from the surrounding area. He held it in his hand for a while. "The Spirit Pearl is very useful for cultivators. You want it, right? I can give it to you, but-"

Chen Lian narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew that Jing Yinchuan's conditions were not that simple, but A Jiang needed the spiritual pearl. Without the mermaid pearl, A Jiang's cultivation would not be able to advance further, and the wounds on his body would not be able to heal, and would leave ugly scars. He did not want to leave scars on the beautiful mermaid. That would be more painful than killing him.

"This king wants you to help me conquer all the immortals. I want you to sign a contract with me. If you don't agree, you will die."

"No." A Jiang squatted beside Shen Lian, put his hands on his arms, and held them tightly. "No."

"I never force anyone. Sect Leader Shen, just take your time to think about it. Once this opportunity is missed, it will be gone forever." As he said this, he leisurely poured himself another pot of wine.

"It would be great to get the spirit pearl, but if you agree to it, you will be cursed."

Chen Lian raised his hand and gently stroked A Jiang's faintly scarred face. He didn't care about anyone. A Jiang was one of the few. He was the one who had injured A Jiang and gave him the Mermaid Pearl. A Jiang was left with nothing. The most serious thing about losing the Mermaid Pearl was that it would shorten his lifespan.

Why had he wanted such a kind merman dead before? If he ever became the overlord of the Three Realms, it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep A Jiang by his side as a servant. However, he would have to pretend to be indifferent, keep his distance from A Jiang, and not be too nice to A Jiang, otherwise it would give those with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Now that he has been possessed by a demon, it doesn't matter whether he is cursed or not. He will still be despised if he is discovered. It is better to do something for Ajiang.

He pushed Ajiang away and looked at Ajiang with a look of surprise.

"Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Chen Lian raised an eyebrow and looked at A Jiang with disdain, as if the relationship between them had disappeared in an instant. "You are just my demon slave, so what? You still want to control my thoughts?"

"It's not like that." A Jiang got up and wanted to explain, but was pushed down by Shen Lian again.

"So what? You are just a lowly demon slave. How can you be compared with the Spirit Pearl?"

Shen Lian clenched his fists, trying not to reveal his true identity.

"Now that you have given me your mermaid pearl, you are no longer useful. Considering that you have served me well, you should leave on your own. Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering our past friendship." He planned to settle everything before going to find Ajiang, taking out the alien species and putting the pearl into Ajiang's body, so that Ajiang could recover as before.

A trace of disbelief flashed in A Jiang's eyes. He had never thought that Shen Lian would treat him this way. His heart was broken. Is the spirit pearl more important than anything else in the world? Is cultivation always important? Why is his brother's sweetheart like this, and Shen Lian too?

"Get out of here!" Chen Lian waved his sleeves, which really seemed like a heartless move, willing to abandon everything for the sake of profit.

Ah Jiang was unwilling to believe it. He no longer had the Mermaid Pearl and his cultivation was not as good as Chen Lian's. He could not subdue the person and take him away. He could only move forward to hold Chen Lian's hand, but was ruthlessly thrown away.

Seeing A Jiang like this, Chen Lian felt a pang of pain in his heart. He gritted his teeth and kept repeating in his heart: Go away quickly.

But this was his inner voice, Ajahn couldn't hear it, and he wouldn't say it in public.

"Why? Why are you sending me away?"

"You're completely useless now. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. People's hearts change. If someone is no longer of any use, who would care?"

Chen Lian turned his head away, not daring to look directly into A Jiang's eyes, fearing that he would become soft-hearted and unable to continue acting. He had to get the spirit pearl and return it to A Jiang.

"I won't leave!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian's heart hardened, and he struck A Jiang with a palm from the air. His force was neither too strong nor too weak, so A Jiang would not be injured. He would just vomit blood.

"It doesn't work."

Chen Lian turned his head, closed his eyes, and forced back the tears. He couldn't cry, and he didn't know why he should cry. A Jiang didn't cry, so why should he cry? He wasn't the one who was beaten or driven away.

But his chest was really blocked and he couldn't breathe, so he wanted to cry.

"Chen Lian, do you really want to do this?" A Jiang's voice was weak, but every word hit Shen Lian's heart like a heavy hammer.

"What? You don't understand? Do you want me to say it a second time?"

Ah Jiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I said, I won't leave, I want to stay with you." If Chen Lian really wanted to do something, he would stop her in time and would never let her make a mistake. After all, he was determined to rely on Chen Lian.

Chen Lian didn't understand why A Jiang was so persistent. Shouldn't he have just walked away with a sullen face? If he had been treated this way, he would have hated that person and secretly vowed to tear him to pieces. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called Chen Lian.

He was about to take action again, but Jing Yinchuan, who was watching the show, stopped him.

"Master Shen doesn't have to be so heartless. Since he wants to stay, then let him stay."

Chen Lian picked up the wine glass and headed towards the direction where the sound came from. Jing Yinchuan dodged quickly, and the glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"I never need the word love. It's the most useless thing in the world. Besides, this is my private matter. Do you think I can interfere?"

"That's true."

Jing Yinchuan forced himself to eat a dose of Coptis chinensis. Chen Lian was not in a good mood. Seeing A Jiang being so persistent, he felt a little angry. He could feel the spiritual power in his chest competing with the demonic energy inside.

"In that case, Sect Master Shen, please go back first. The spirit pearl is here. When you have dealt with your personal affairs, please come and discuss with me." Jing Yinchuan was naturally unhappy when he was confronted. He was about to put away the spirit pearl, but it suddenly disappeared.

"Since I'm here, there's no reason for me to go back empty-handed." Shen Lian tightly grasped the spiritual pearl in his hand, summoned the sword of life, and pointed the tip of the sword at Jing Yinchuan.

Jing Yinchuan was also annoyed. He had never seen such an unreasonable person. How could he take advantage of someone in distress?

He stood up and was about to fight back, but Chen Lian pulled up A Jiang from the ground, and disappeared in a flash.

Jing Yinchuan was furious. He vented his anger on the table, overturning it. Chen Lian actually dared to snatch it directly. Wasn't it obvious that he didn't want to cooperate with him, but instead wanted to oppose him?

In this case, people who cannot serve you should not be kept!

Chen Lian took A Jiang all the way to the west coast.

"Why did you bring me here?" Pearls were already falling from the corners of Ajiang's eyes.

"It starts here and ends here." Shen Lian's life sword was pointed at A Jiang's chest. As long as A Jiang took a step forward, Shen Lian would pierce his heart.

Without the protection of the mermaid pearl, Ajiang would die if his heart was pierced.

"You want to kill me?" A Jiang was already crying when he asked this question. He walked forward in disbelief. He didn't believe that Chen Lian would kill him. Chen Lian obviously loved him and treated his wounds last night. How could she hurt herself?

The truth was that Chen Lian really wanted to kill A Jiang. Chen Lian had figured it out on the way to the West Coast. No matter how good A Jiang was, what good could he be? A Jiang couldn't protect him forever.

The only one who can protect himself and rely on is himself. Just like what he said just now, people's hearts will change. What should he do if A Jiang suddenly changes his mind one day?

He should have made plans earlier. Now that he has obtained the spirit pearl and his cultivation level has surpassed Ajiang, it is natural for him to put into practice what he had thought at that time - to kill Ajiang.

The moment the tip of his sword pierced Ajahn's chest, his heart skipped a beat.

As the sword was thrust in, Ajiang's hand gripped the sword, cutting his hand. Blood dripped onto the beach, and the smell of blood filled the air.
