Chapter 179 Difficult Escape
Lin Chen narrowed his long, narrow eyes, remembering Bai Ruoqian's special instructions that he must obtain the broken piece of jade on his person, and he began to worry.
A sly glint flashed in Ye Luo's eyes as he said, "How about... you come with me into the valley to retrieve it?"
"Heh, quite a few tricks up your sleeve. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Look at what you're saying. If you weren't stupid, would you be working like a dog for Bai Ruoqian?"
Hearing his words, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "You have a sharp tongue, no wonder that girl hates you so much."
"We're just incompatible according to the Chinese zodiac, it has nothing to do with my mouth. What do you think about it?"
Seeing that he didn't seem convinced, Ye Luo said again, "If you're worried, can I have my senior brother go back and get it?"
"Junior Brother!" Feng Yue clenched his fists. Knowing Ye Luo as he did, he knew Ye Luo was definitely trying to get him away so he could fight to the death.
"You brats, let's take a gamble," the Demon Lord, who had been silent all along, transmitted his voice. "We're all going to die anyway, so let's just expose ourselves."
Ye Luo: "No! If you show yourself now, it will be a catastrophe for Peach Blossom Valley."
If this matter gets out, it will be considered a crime of colluding with the demons.
There's no need to wait until Bai Ruoqian is fully powerful and personally leads the various sects to attack.
Now, within the Immortal Alliance, those sects that harbor some prejudice against Peach Blossom Valley will not easily let them go.
"I have two pieces of broken jade. How about you give me a way out?" Ye Luo tried to negotiate, but at this point, she could only try to survive.
"Oh? You have two pieces?"
A smile appeared in Lin Chen's narrow eyes. "Since that's the case... after killing you all, I can just search Peach Blossom Valley. Why all this trouble?"
He waved his hand, and his men swarmed forward.
Seeing this, Ye Luo cursed inwardly, "This guy isn't taking the bait?"
So they quickly summoned the array plate and set up a defensive array to protect them within it.
Seeing this, everyone unleashed their spells, the booming sounds echoing through the mountains and forests. Unfortunately, every time a crack appeared, Ye Luo quickly filled it in.
Lin Chen looked at the magic array in front of him and suddenly felt that it looked very familiar, so he raised his hand to stop everyone.
"You brat, are you from the Star Array Pavilion?"
Ye Luo was momentarily confused by his question, as he had never even heard of the Star Array Pavilion.
However, judging from his seemingly wary appearance, it must be a powerful force.
Ye Luo's mind raced, and he said arrogantly, "Hmph, you have good judgment. If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones!"
"Let bygones be bygones?"
"Hahahaha, brat, if you're from the Star Array Pavilion... then you're even more deserving of death!"
Ye Luo: "?!"
Lin Chen unleashed a terrifying killing intent. He reached out and grabbed at the air, shattering the defensive array erected by Ye Luo.
Upon seeing this, Feng Yue was greatly alarmed and flashed in front of Ye Luo to block her, but was suddenly blasted away by a force and fell to the ground, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.
"Fourth Senior Brother!"
Suddenly, Ye Luo was choked, and the feeling of suffocation made his mind go blank.
Damn, why isn't this guy playing by the rules?
Ye Luo made a last-ditch effort and truthfully said, "I... I misspoke... I don't know that Star Array Pavilion at all..."
"Still trying to deny it?" Lin Chen's eyes were bloodshot. "You don't recognize them? How could you possibly know their secret magic array?"
"What?" Ye Luo was shocked and speechless.
Suddenly, Lin Chen's blue eyes flickered, and he sniffed at Ye Luo's body, "You smell so good."
Ye Luo's oxygen-deprived mind cleared up instantly from the shock, and she felt a shiver run down her spine. "Get out of here!"
The sudden impact jolted Lin Chen back to his senses. "Kid, looks like you're hiding a secret."
"Let me see what it is?"
Those venomous hands roamed over Ye Luo's body, making him feel nauseous. He roared, "Kill me if you want! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Don't be in such a hurry to die. Let me see the secrets you've been hiding."
"Is this it?"
"Still here?"
"How about... here?"
Lin Chen's gaze finally settled on his neck, where the fragrance was strongest, so he brought his nose closer with great interest.
Suddenly, he smelled a familiar dragon's breath in addition to the fragrance, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
Suddenly, the hidden silkworm silk at Ye Luo's neck emerged and transformed into sharp blades.
Caught off guard, Lin Chen was slashed on the cheek and left eye. He groaned in pain and with a flick of his sleeve, sent Ye Luo flying.
"Owner!"
"Ugh—!" Lin Chen covered his injured left eye, his remaining right eye flashing with murderous intent. "Fine, you played with the eagle and got pecked in the eye. What's your relationship with Jun Yi?!"
"Ahem... guess?"
Blood trickled from Ye Luo's lips as she clutched her aching chest. Fortunately, she had the inner armor Jun Yi had given her; otherwise, she would have been cleaved in two by spiritual energy long ago.
The searing pain nearly made Lin Chen lose his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to hurt me like this? You deserve to die!!"
He suddenly unleashed a burst of spiritual power, but just then the barrier shattered, and a chilling, malevolent aura blocked his attack.
"who?!"
"What a lively scene!" Yan Xiao, wearing a mask, stood on a tree branch. "Tsk tsk tsk, you are supposed to be the young master of Qilin Valley, yet you're doing so poorly in the lower realm. It's laughable."
Lin Chen: "Who exactly are you?"
"Guess?"
"..."
Seeing that the barrier trapping them had been destroyed, Ye Luo considered the situation and, with Feng Yue, used a shrinking talisman to escape.
Thank you!
Yan Xiao looked at the two fleeing men and chuckled, "Hey, you two heartless bastards."
"Chase them!" But the group had barely flown a short distance when Yan Xiao killed them.
Lin Chen regained his composure, looked him over for a moment, and said coldly, "Since you know my identity, why do you still want to be my enemy?"
Yan Xiao scoffed, "So what if it is? Even in the Upper Realm, Qilin Valley can't control everything. This is the Lower Realm, so I advise you to keep a low profile."
"You're asking for it!"
Lin Chen's face was covered in blood and grime, making him look extremely disheveled. His subordinates stepped forward tremblingly behind him, "Master, your injuries are serious..."
Lin Chen pondered for a moment. He really didn't have time to waste any more time. He had to hurry back to get his eyes treated. He snorted coldly and left with everyone.
Yan Xiao watched them leave, his figure vanishing instantly as he headed towards Peach Blossom Valley.
Inside the jungle.
"Cough cough..."
Ye Luo felt a metallic taste in her throat. "Fourth Senior Brother, are you alright?"
"Cough cough, it's nothing..."
Feng Yue leaned against the rock and swallowed the pill Ye Luo handed him. "That person just now... I hope he's alright?"
"Don't worry, that person is very strong, escaping won't be a problem." Ye Luo quickly swallowed the pill to suppress the fragrance, a slight worry creeping into her heart.
Feng Yue carefully observed his surroundings and discovered that there were many demonic beasts hiding in the forest. They seemed to have smelled the blood on their bodies and were all heading this way.
"We need to get back to the sect as soon as possible..."
"Sigh, just hand over your body to me." The Demon Lord within the sea of consciousness sighed. "There's no one around now, I'll take you away faster."
“Okay…” Feng Yue handed control of the body back to him, and immediately black mist enveloped his entire body.
The Demon Lord led Ye Luo swiftly through the forest, and the demonic beasts along the way felt the oppressive aura and all kept their distance.
