Chapter 81 [Jiaozhu] Wants to Marry A Jiang and Become the Demon Queen
A Jiang was trapped in the Demon Palace, unable to use his spiritual power. He tried every way to break free, but did not move a step until Shen Lian returned.
He sat on the magic chair, looking at Shen Lian, who was covered in blood and holding a sword made of bones in his hand.
The blade of this sword was stained with the same blood as that on Shen Lian's body, and it also faintly exuded a demonic aura.
Chen Lian's expression was mournful, with a hint of murderous determination still lingering in his eyes. He gripped the hilt of his sword, looking at A Jiang who was sitting anxiously on the magic chair. He threw the sword aside and quickly walked up to A Jiang.
He raised his hands, which were covered in half-dried blood, and touched Ajahn through the air. Afraid of dirtying Ajahn, he wiped his hands on his clothes.
Normally he was such a clean person, yet now he returned covered in blood, without any treatment or cleansing techniques, he just came back naked.
"Are you hurt?" Ajahn asked worriedly.
Chen Lian shook his head. The blood on his body was not his own, but that of a thousand disciples of the Cang Qiong Sect. He was panicked and felt remorseful.
He was bewitched by an alien species and destroyed the place where he used to live.
The once glorious Cang Qiong Sect and the surrounding villages and towns were all destroyed.
He didn't want to kill them, but they forced him to. They used the most unpleasant words in the world on him, crushing his sanity bit by bit.
The sword he brought back was called the Ten Thousand Bones Sword. He forged it from the bones of a thousand people from under the sky. The Ten Thousand Bones Sword carried resentment and the devilish aura from his body, becoming an evil sword.
"I'm not hurt, I killed someone." As he spoke, his hands were shaking, as if it was his first time killing someone, but he had already killed many people.
The first time he killed someone was when he was fifteen. He knew nothing at that time and was very scared. He was afraid of being executed, so he ran away at night. At that time, he had never thought that his hands would be shaking like this now.
He really didn't want to destroy his master's sect. If you say this sect is his second home, how could he have the heart to destroy it?
It was Qian Zhao who had forced him. Qian Zhao had called him unworthy of being the Lord of the Sky, calling him a bitch and a whore. It was Cang Qiong who had forced him. Those disciples who used to respectfully call him Sect Leader were now calling him not only a demon but also a human being, even murdering his senior brother who had treated him so well. Everyone had forced him to make this choice, everyone wanted him to go mad and kill.
In addition, the alien was blowing wind in his ears, making it difficult for him to suppress the evil spirit running around in his body. In a moment of carelessness, he went berserk.
There were too many people. He couldn't remember their faces or what they said. He only felt tinnitus in his ears. He only remembered that he dug out Qian Zhao's eyes and pulled out Qian Zhao's tongue with his own hands, made it into a human stick, and hanged him on the gate of Cangqiong Mountain.
There were dried bloodstains on Shen Lian's face. The blood of those people was stuck to his body and could not be washed off. Even if he used the cleansing technique, it could not be removed.
This will accompany him throughout his life, becoming his mud that can never be washed away, and he can only carry this three thousand years of resentment.
"I killed so many people, I..." He had never been so scared before. He wasn't afraid of the ghosts of those who had died, but he was afraid that among his thousand disciples, there were some who tried to persuade him to change his ways, but he didn't listen and resolutely killed them all. He killed innocent people.
He stepped on the corpses of those people and burned the entire Cangkong Mountain.
"I'm so scared, I'm scared." Chen Lian's hands dropped straight down. His body was so dirty that no matter how he used the cleansing technique, he couldn't wash it clean.
What Chen Lian didn't know was that his mind had fallen under the control of the alien species. He had been completely possessed by the devil and was no longer able to use magic.
"I couldn't clean it up. There was so much blood. They said they were wrong. They didn't dare to do it anymore—"
Ah Jiang was confused when he heard Chen Lian talking, but he also roughly guessed that Chen Lian had wiped out Cang Qiong's family.
"They still died, died in my hands. They advised me to turn back, but there was no way back for me..." Chen Lian wiped away the tears that fell.
"I am your shore." Ah Jiang was able to move suddenly. He waved his hand to clean the blood on Shen Lian's body. Then he gently stroked Shen Lian's face and wiped away his tears. "Don't be afraid."
A Jiang was in a complicated mood at the moment. He didn't know if he could pull Shen Lian back. He was not completely sure and he didn't dare to be sure.
However, he learned from the legends in the ancient books in the Bei Palace that if the mermaid pearls of their mermaid tribe are completely purified, they can suppress the devil's aura.
After being completely purified and rid of evil spirits, one will ascend to heaven.
However, it is not so easy to ascend to become an immortal. It requires constant practice. There were once tribesmen who worked hard to ascend, but in the end their lifespans were exhausted and they did not become immortals.
This is a difficult thing to do, so they all think that it can only be achieved in legends. So far, no one has been able to overcome the tribulations and become an immortal.
As for Yan Ru, she was sent from heaven and was born with it. No one can surpass her. But Yan Ru is not a mermaid, and Yan Ru does not have the mermaid pearl.
"Don't be afraid." A Jiang took Shen Lian into his arms and patted his back again and again. "I will be with you."
Then he might be Chen Lian's only hope. He is a natural born spirit fetus that has not been seen in the demon race for thousands of years. The so-called natural born spirit fetus means that he is born with a higher level of cultivation than others, and can digest and absorb any classics and mental methods faster than ordinary people. They have spiritual power in their bodies since birth. It can be said that if they want to overcome tribulations and become immortals, they must be faster than others.
But A Jiang was worried that it was just a legend and not true. If it turned out to be nothing, what would happen to his A Lian?
Even if it's just a legend, he still wants to give it a try.
"I won't leave you."
A Jiang hugged Shen Lian tightly, feeling his trembling body and almost desperate emotions.
"I don't want to. I don't want to."
A Jiang coaxed Chen Lian for a long time before she calmed down.
Chen Lian figured it out. What had happened had already happened. The fact that he had killed people was a fact. Just like he was possessed by a demon, nothing could be changed. So he would use their corpses as stepping stones.
Since you have already taken this path, why bother worrying about gossip?
Chen Lian comforted himself, thinking that this was how he had gotten through all those years. This was just the beginning, and there was still a long way to go.
The news that Shen Lian destroyed the Cang Qiong Sect and set fire to the mountain soon spread throughout the entire cultivation world. Shen Lian was not afraid of being known. If they wanted to attack the Demon Realm, he didn't mind making himself even dirtier.
It's already dirty anyway, so it doesn't matter if it gets dirtier.
Chen Lian sat alone in the Demon Palace. He felt that even A Jiang thought he was dirty in recent days and was unwilling to be with him. He often avoided him and no one knew where he went.
Chen Lian didn't want to know that Ajiang thought he was dirty, so every night, whether Ajiang was willing or not, he forced Ajiang to practice dual cultivation with him, so that he could still deceive himself that Ajiang did not despise him and still loved him.
He knew that what he did was extremely selfish, but if a person does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. At this point, he only wanted Ajiang. Only Ajiang could give him comfort and only Ajiang could accompany him.
He couldn't see A Jiang and was very anxious, fearing that A Jiang would betray him and collude with those people to harm him.
"I wonder what he has been busy with these days. Could it be that he is colluding with people in the cultivation world to figure out how to invade the demon world?" said the alien.
Chen Lian did not believe what the alien said at first, but many things were witnessed by the alien, and many things were exactly the same as what the alien said, so he now began to believe the alien's words.
He was afraid that Ajiang would do what the alien said, so he locked him up.
When he had nothing to do, he would stare at Ajahn. Ajahn was always in the house, with his eyes closed, not looking at him or anyone else, just sitting there quietly. If it weren't for his breathing and heartbeat, he would have thought Ajahn was dead.
He sat down next to Ajahn, clamped Ajahn's jaw and pretended to kiss him, but Ajahn suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" asked Ajahn.
Shen Lian put down his hand and leaned on A Jiang's shoulder, "It's okay."
Chen Lian is fine, but A Jiang is in trouble.
If A Jiang wants to purify the evil spirit on the mermaid pearl, he needs spiritual power, but he is locked up in this devil's palace all day long. There is evil spirit everywhere. Where can he absorb the spiritual power?
The answer is no.
If he wants to purify the mermaid pearl, he must leave the demon world.
"Owner."
"Um."
"Ah Lian."
"Um."
"I want to go back to my tribe." A Jiang wanted to leave the demon world to get some fresh air and absorb spiritual energy. It would be best if he could stay outside for a long time until the evil spirit on the mermaid pearl dissipated.
Hearing this, Shen Lian's expression changed again and again. He sat up and met A Jiang's eyes.
In his eyes, Ajiang's request confirmed what the alien said, that Ajiang wanted to leave the demon world and collude with those people to deal with him.
How could this be possible? Ajahn was his man, how could he betray him?
He would never allow it!
Ajahn was the only important person he had left, and he could not betray him.
"No, the cultivation world is in turmoil right now, and you are my slave. If you are caught, I will not save you." Shen Lian gritted his teeth.
"I--"
"No need to say more!" Shen Lian stood up suddenly. He didn't want to listen to A Jiang anymore, fearing that A Jiang would say something that would hurt him. "I won't agree!"
After saying this, he started to leave, and A Jiang took his hand.
"I want to marry you. Let's go back to the Bei Palace to get married." When A Jiang found out the real murderer who killed the previous king, he sent the news back immediately, so his clansmen had no prejudice against Shen Lian.
He had been thinking about getting married for a long time, ever since he read about it in a storybook. However, many other things got mixed up at the time, so he put this matter aside.
It’s just right to bring it up now.
“…”
"Okay?" A Jiang blinked his watery eyes and shook Chen Lian's arm, as if he was acting coquettishly.
"It's the same in the Demon Realm. If you wish, I will give the order to marry you and become the Demon Queen."
"It's different. The elders in the clan watched me grow up. I want to be witnessed by them and get their blessings." A Jiang took Shen Lian's wrist.
Chen Lian was silent, his eyes wandering on A Jiang's face, as if he was looking for something, and his heart was struggling.
