Chapter 72 [Jiaozhu] Chen Lian leaves with A Jiang, regardless of his beloved disciple's safety
Unconsciously, there was a hint of affection in Shen Lian's eyes, no longer full of indifference and ambition.
"I'm not afraid, and you can't leave me."
A Jiang was amused by Chen Lian. He wished to be with the queen all the time, so how could he be separated from him?
"The king will always be with the queen. I will never leave you."
Hearing this answer, Shen Lian's heart still did not reduce the panic. His premonition became stronger and stronger. He...
He didn't want Ajahn to leave.
Their conversation was heard by Yan Ru who had just returned. "Lord? Queen?"
Yan Ru narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze wandering between the two people, and finally fell on the hands of both of them wearing red beads. The beads were dazzling red and shiny, like some kind of token of love.
She suddenly guessed that the relationship between the two was not ordinary. He did not expect that the rumored cruel and vicious Shen Lian would actually fall in love with someone else, and it was him who made the demon slave. This was a bit too embarrassing.
Yan Ru believed that there was no distinction between species in nature, only between good and evil, and she had no objection to the love between humans and demons.
Chen Lian and Yan Ru looked at each other, and he saw with his own eyes that Yan Ru's eyes changed from confusion to clarity and then shock. It seemed that Yan Ru had seen through it.
The atmosphere became tense. Chen Lian was wondering whether he should get rid of the goddess so that he could absorb her divine power for his own use. However, there were still so many leaders waiting at the foot of the mountain.
Ajahn attended the meeting on his behalf. Now that Ajahn has left, if anything happens to the goddess, they will definitely be suspected, and then there will be trouble.
This atmosphere was broken, and suddenly an alarm sounded in the valley, indicating that demons were invading.
Yan Ru glanced at Chen Lian and A Jiang, then left.
Shen Lian heaved a sigh of relief.
The alarm in the valley was still ringing, and it seemed that there was a big trouble. Chen Lian thought it was better not to get involved in the dispute between Yinyou Valley and the Demon Realm, so as not to be involved and expose the demonic energy in his body, which would be unpredictable.
If it were in the past, he would have stepped forward to confront the demons, but now he didn't dare to do that. Those present were all the leaders of the major sects. If he stood with the demons, it would definitely draw out the demonic energy in his body, and he would most likely go berserk.
"Let's go back to Cang Qiong Sect."
Chen Lian took A Jiang and was about to go find Yu Jinlan, and then return immediately, but he never expected that Yu Jinlan was kidnapped by the leader of the demon clan.
Chen Lian frowned because the person who held his apprentice hostage was Jing Yinchuan, the master of Fuyou Palace, whom he had met not long ago.
Not only was Chen Lian stunned, but Yan Ru and the other major sect leaders were also shocked. Jing Yinchuan was of the same generation as them, and inherited the mantle of their respective masters. He was an upright person, and although his reputation was not great, it was good that he would not collude with the demons.
And what is going on now? Jing Yinchuan took off his red clothes and put on black clothes. There is also a mark on his forehead that only a demon noble has. Even his temperament is completely different.
Everyone couldn't see the situation clearly and didn't dare to act rashly, so they just stood there in a stalemate.
Jing Yinchuan's sharp claws pointed at Yu Jinlan's neck, making Yu Jinlan tense.
She was terrified. She had fought her way out of the palace and ascended to the Heavenly Palace to become a disciple. It had been incredibly difficult, so she didn't want to die. If she could just hold on a little longer, she could become the leader of the Heavenly Palace, the highest point she could reach in her life. The thought of this made her want to die even less.
She searched the crowd and soon found a person in a purple-blue brocade robe. She shouted in that person's direction: "Master, save me! Master, save your disciple!"
She just watched Shen Lian leave, and she secretly followed him, wondering if he was going to look for A Jiang. She followed Shen Lian all the way, but she couldn't keep up, perhaps because Shen Lian wanted to get rid of him, and she lost him. She tried to return the same way, but she ran into the demons and was abducted by Jing Yinchuan.
"Save me!" Yu Jinlan shouted desperately. She really didn't want to die. She had lived such a long life and had experienced so much hardship along the way. She was only one step away from reaching the highest position. How could she be willing to die like this?
Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Lian.
Yu Jinlan is Chen Lian's only disciple. It can be said that Chen Lian will pass on all his life's learning to her. In the eyes of everyone, the only disciple is naturally trained as the heir, and Chen Lian will definitely not stand by and watch her die.
Jing Yinchuan thought so too. He was the Mirror Prince of the Demon Realm, concealing his true identity and joining the Floating Palace. He would eliminate all who stood in his way, ascend to the position of Palace Master, and ultimately control the Floating Palace. His plan was to use the Floating Palace to gradually infiltrate the various sects and defeat them all, leaving no one to stop the Demon Realm's invasion.
But the goddess descended from the sky ten years ago, which was the first year he became the palace master, and made him give up this idea. Seven years later, the goddess cultivated the spirit pearl, and he figured he had to get rid of the goddess and the spirit pearl first.
So he planned step by step, which took a long time, but he placed his own people in all the major sects and mastered the internal information of each sect.
He kidnapped Yu Jinlan with the intention of letting Chen Lian and Yan Ru kill each other so that he could reap the benefits. Chen Lian is a good knife. If used well, even a goddess like Yan Ru would be at a disadvantage.
"Shen Zong's beloved disciple is so timid. He doesn't have the grace and elegance of Sect Master Shen in the past." Jing Yinchuan smiled evilly, and put his claws close to Jin Lan's neck. His long sharp nails pierced her skin, oozing small blood beads.
He thought Shen Lian might save his only disciple. After all, there were many disciples to choose from, but it was difficult to choose an heir. He might even kill Yu Jinlan to eliminate future troubles. After all, Shen Lian was the leader of the Cang Qiong Sect, the leading sect in the cultivation world, representing all the prestigious and upright sects. If Shen Lian helped him, then there would be no one in the cultivation world who could stand up to the demon world.
He wanted Chen Lian to choose between the world of cultivation and his beloved disciple. According to his people in the Cang Qiong Sect, Yu Jinlan often boasted to her fellow disciples about how good her master was and how well he treated her. His people also said that Chen Lian treated Jinlan well, because other disciples were not allowed to enter or leave the Jingling Waterside Pavilion, not even the elders, but Yu Jinlan could.
Since Chen Lian took such special care of Jin Lan, he thought that Chen Lian loved Jin Lan very much.
"He is just an ordinary disciple. You can arrest him or kill him if you want. Why are you talking about your beloved disciple?" Shen Lian glanced at Yu Jinlan and then looked away.
Jing Yinchuan retracted his smile. Judging from Chen Lian's tone, it didn't seem like he cared about the heir. He wasn't sure if Chen Lian was pretending, pretending not to care so that he could let Yu Jinlan go. How was that possible?
He casually threw Yu Jinlan to the demon soldiers behind him to suppress him. He thought that keeping him for now might be of great use later. Who knows, Chen Lian might just be pretending to buy time and then rescue him later.
"Master, save me—cover my mouth!" Yu Jinlan was halfway through his words when the demon soldier covered his mouth.
"It seems that Sect Master Shen doesn't care about my nephew. So, I'll cripple one of her arms. What do you think?"
"It doesn't matter. If you dare to cripple her, I will cripple you." Shen Lian said in a deep voice. Yu Jinlan was his apprentice. If he crippled his apprentice's hand, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?
Chen Lian didn't care about Yu Jinlan's life or death. He had no intention of accepting a disciple. Yu Jinlan was forced upon him by the elders. He didn't like Yu Jinlan in the first place, and now that Yu Jinlan was used to threaten him, he hated her even more.
"Then we'll wait and see."
Jing Yinchuan raised his hand and signaled to attack, and someone suddenly attacked his demon soldiers.
It wasn't Chen Lian. Chen Lian stood there motionless, watching quietly. Jing Yinchuan then looked elsewhere and realized that it was Yan Ru who took action.
"Jing Yinchuan, it's you." Yan Rudao said. Hua Luochen was still in a dream, and there must be no mistakes in creating the dreams of those disciples.
"It seems that I still didn't do it well and you noticed it, but I did it on purpose, so that it's more interesting, hahahaha——" Jing Yinchuan covered his mouth elegantly and laughed towards the sky.
Chen Lian frowned as he looked at Jing Yinchuan. Although all the demons were beautiful, they couldn't be so effeminate. Why did he cover his mouth when he laughed?
It was truly jarring, and he couldn't bear to watch any longer. He turned around, took A Jiang's hand, and flew away on his sword. Before leaving, he said, "Yu Jinlan, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish. I will return to avenge my grievances in the future."
Everyone fell silent as they watched Chen Lian leave.
Chen Lian just left like that?
So what should they do?
Yu Jinlan's eyes, once filled with hope, turned to hatred. She couldn't understand what she had done wrong. Not only did Chen Lian dislike her, but he even refused to save her life because she was his apprentice! Was Chen Lian's heart made of iron?!
Shen Lian's departure caused the scene to fall into a dead silence, and everyone's attention was once again focused on Jing Yinchuan and Yan Ru. Jing Yinchuan's smile froze on his face. He had not expected Shen Lian to give up his apprentice so easily, which completely disrupted his plan.
Chen Lian really left without any hesitation. He went straight back to Cang Qiong Sect. The devilish aura of those demons just now attracted the restlessness in his body, forcing him to leave early.
He covered his pounding chest, his eyes red.
"Ah Lian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ah Jiang took a big step forward, held Chen Lian's shoulders, and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Chen Lian waved his hand and walked ahead. He didn't want A Jiang to see anything.
“…”
Chen Lian's steps were a little unsteady. He forced himself to suppress the demonic energy surging in his body, and every step felt like stepping on cotton.
A Jiang followed behind him. The moment he touched Shen Lian, he felt a surge of demonic energy. He looked at Shen Lian's back with great concern, thinking that Shen Lian was injured. He strode forward and picked him up.
"What are you doing?!" Shen Lian was frightened by A Jiang's action, and her originally red eyes instantly returned to their original color.
A Jiang said nothing and took Chen Lian back to Jingling Water Pavilion. He put her on the bed, took off her clothes and checked her, especially her arms, which he looked at again and again.
Chen Lian thought that A Jiang wanted to do something special, and his cheeks turned red unconsciously. He turned his head away and did not look at A Jiang.
