Chapter 471: Succubus (42)
This is no small matter for me; it's a huge deal! That's Xiaoyao Li. If he's really killed, it would be a huge scandal and a huge blow to the cultivation world.
Afterwards, Wen Wan began to find out the location where Xiao Yaoli was being held, and then quietly sneaked over there.
No one dared to stop her. After all, she was still the young sect leader of the Blissful Sect. Although her mother didn't like her, she wouldn't deny her the treatment of a young sect leader. Moreover, the previous young sect leader was extremely cruel, so she had great prestige among the subordinates of the Blissful Sect.
Xiaoyao Li was imprisoned in the deepest dungeon beneath the Blissful Sect. His entire body was bound by iron chains that sealed his spiritual power, and two thick iron chains, each as thick as an arm, pierced through his shoulder blades.
His hair hung down, covering his entire face, and he remained motionless. Wen Wan even wondered if he was still alive.
"You may all step back," Wen Wan said to the guards beside her.
"Young Master, Xiaoyao Li is very dangerous, so don't get close."
"He's crippled, what danger could he possibly pose? Get out of here."
Wen Wan feigned a cold expression, and sure enough, the other party left immediately, not daring to linger. Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, hugging the cat in her arms, "Did you recognize him as Xiaoyao Li? Do you know him?"
The cat shook its head.
When Xiaoyao Li was alive, Gu Yuan was still a child. How could he have met him?
Wen Wan thought so too, so she took a few steps closer and asked, "Are you Xiaoyao Li?"
There was no response from the other party.
"Don't worry, senior. I mean you no harm. I will get you out of here."
The other party still didn't react at all, which Wen Wan found really strange. "Senior Xiaoyao? Senior?"
Could it be that he's been detained for too long and has become hard of hearing?
Wen Wan took a few more steps closer. "Senior, can you hear what I'm saying?" Wen Wan didn't realize that she had already entered a dangerous area.
“Senior Xiaoyao Li, I have already asked Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan for help. He will come to rescue you soon. Don’t worry, just stay here.”
The change happened in an instant. The person in front of her suddenly sprang up and swung the chain at Wen Wan. Wen Wan froze on the spot for a moment, her eyes wide open. Then, in another instant, an attack was launched at the chain. Wen Wan belatedly realized what was happening and quickly retreated.
The attack clearly came from the cat.
Wen Wan never expected that cats could be so powerful.
"Thank you so much!" Wen Wan stroked the cat's head. "Without you, I would definitely be dead."
Hearing the commotion, one of his men came in and asked, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Wen Wan feigned composure, "What could possibly be wrong with me? Nothing's wrong with me. Without my orders, you're not allowed to come in."
"Yes, young master."
Wen Wan looked at Xiao Yaoli in front of her. He was staring straight at her, but he didn't say anything.
Wen Wan knew the other party definitely didn't trust her, so she started rummaging through her storage bag and finally took out something from Gu Yuan. It was a sword tassel, a token given to her by Gu Yuan when she became his personal disciple. It had Gu Yuan's sword aura on it, so she wasn't sure if this would make Senior Xiaoyao Li trust her.
Clearly, the other party still doesn't trust her.
"It's alright if Senior Xiaoyao doesn't believe me. My master will definitely come to save you. He is the most powerful Immortal Venerable in the cultivation world right now. He is the most powerful."
Wen Wan then took out a bottle of pills. "This is a high-grade Repairing Pill. Senior can take some to relieve the pain."
Wen Wan handed it over, but the other person didn't take it, so Wen Wan ate one herself. "This is absolutely fine. I'll leave it here. Take it if you want."
Wen Wan left afterward, not wanting her mother to suspect she had any ulterior motives.
Wen Wan came over the next day and found that the medicine was gone. Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief and then put out another bottle of medicine.
The time for the Immortal Slaying Ceremony was fast approaching, and Wen Wan was very anxious.
"System, will someone really come to save him?"
System: [Don't worry, the male lead will definitely come. He's the male lead!]
“You’re right. The male lead is so righteous, how could he not come to save Xiaoyao Li? Besides, I have a cat hostage here.”
Surely we can't just abandon the cat altogether?
system:【……】
...
On the day of the Immortal Slaying Assembly, countless demons came to the Blissful Sect, and the atmosphere was lewd and decadent everywhere. It has to be said that Wen Wan would never be able to get used to the cultivation method of the Blissful Sect in her life. Moreover, the demons are free by nature and can roll around together anytime and anywhere. Wen Wan really should stay home as much as possible. Once she goes out, she will be scared to death along the way.
After returning to the room, quickly take a few pills to calm your nerves.
When the Immortal Slaying Ceremony arrived, Wen Wan was dressed in an exceptionally grand manner and stood beside Chu Hongyan.
"You know what we should and shouldn't do later, right?"
Wen Wan: "Mm."
At this moment, the demon leader sitting in the VIP section spoke up, "This must be the young master of the Blissful Sect, right? Just as rumored, he is as beautiful as a celestial being."
Wen Yan: "..."
Wen Wan looked over and saw a strangely shaped demon, whose gaze made her feel very offended.
"This is Qi Lianhai, the young patriarch of the Demon Bull Clan. You two used to play together when you were little."
Wen Wan: "Greetings, Young Clan Chief."
She wasn't the original owner of this body, and she didn't want to play with this young clan leader. He was too terrifying to look at; for someone who was obsessed with appearances, it was simply too much to bear, and she might even have nightmares at night.
After that, she met countless people, each uglier than the last. Among all the demon races, the Meizu could be said to have the highest average appearance, after all, they relied on their beauty to cultivate. At this moment, Wen Wan was so glad that she was a Meizu. Otherwise, if it were some kind of Demon Bull or other strange and bizarre demon race, she would really go crazy.
Moreover, Wen Wan soon discovered her mother's true intention: to find her a man. As the young master of the Demon Clan, she had many suitors who wanted to marry into the Demon Clan, but this did not affect her status.
Wen Wan wanted to escape, but thinking of today's main event, she could only endure this terrifying forced pairing. Soon, the crucial moment of the Immortal Slaying Ceremony arrived. Wen Wan saw countless recording stones floating in the air, ensuring a 360-degree loop of filming.
That's too cruel, that's really too cruel.
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.
Soon, Xiaoyao Li was taken to the execution platform, and all the demons cheered like madmen. Wen Wan held the cat in her arms, her palms sweating. She was so nervous that she was about to die.
Xiaoyao Li's hair was shaved off, revealing his entire face, which was old and thin, but his eyes were still burning brightly, as if he did not realize that he was facing death and humiliation.
Wen Wan looked at him, her heart filled with anxiety.
"Why hasn't Gu Yuan arrived yet? Is he even coming? Could something have gotten in the way?"
System: [Host, don't worry. He's the male lead. Male leads usually appear suddenly at the most crucial moment, like a savior. You have to believe him.]
Wen Yan: "..."
She wanted to believe that this was just worry.
The demons also recounted Xiaoyao Li's life story in an extremely sarcastic tone. Even Wen Wan, as an observer, felt angry. How painful it must have been for Xiaoyao Li! Indeed, the one who understands you best is your opponent. The one who understands the pain points of the cultivation world best and can directly address them is none other than the demons.
Perhaps even the heavens couldn't bear to watch anymore; the weather, which had been quite nice, suddenly turned gloomy, the wind was strong, and the darkness was oppressive.
Wen Wan looked at Chu Hongyan and then noticed that Chu Hongyan's expression was complicated; she wasn't happy, but rather somewhat worried.
What was she worried about? Wen Wan wondered curiously.
"Mother, I don't think today's weather is suitable for killing Xiaoyao Li. How about we change the date?"
Chu Hongyan: "When did you become so superstitious? Have you been staying at the Mingyuan Sect for too long?"
Wen Yan: "..."
Okay, she's not going to say anything more.
As the time drew closer, lightning and thunder struck.
Chu Hongyan suddenly stood up, frowning as she looked at the stage.
"What's wrong?"
The other demons also had mixed expressions, and when a bolt of lightning struck, Wen Wan's eyes widened, "What's going on?"
"If I'm not ignorant, isn't this the tribulation lightning for a cultivator breaking through to the next realm? How could it possibly fall on a demon? And on Xiaoyao Li no less?"
The most feared lightning bolt of the demon race caused the demons being held captive by Xiaoyao Li to scatter instantly. Those who didn't have time to escape were killed by this bolt of lightning.
"Retreat." Chu Hongyan gave the order, and in an instant all the demons began to evacuate. Wen Wan quickly grabbed the cat and slipped to the side. Anyway, in this chaos, her mother wouldn't pay special attention to her.
"System, is Xiaoyao Li undergoing tribulation about ascending to immortality?"
system:【……】
He will fail.
Wen Wan asked in shock, "Why did it fail?"
System: [Because in this world, only the male protagonist has ascended to immortality, and he needs to meet certain conditions. He is destined to fail this time; it's not his time yet.]
Wen Yan: "..."
"Will he be struck dead? Is there any way to save him?" Wen Wan asked anxiously. "Why did he suddenly undergo tribulation? Was it because I gave him the pill? He was already a cripple, how could he possibly undergo tribulation? Was it because I gave him the pill, and the pill was the variable? Did I... harm him?"
Wen Wan was somewhat stunned.
She hadn't expected that this might be the truth, and she stood there stunned.
[Host, this isn't your fault. He was destined to die. Even if he didn't die at the hands of the demons, he would have been struck by heavenly lightning.]
[Leave now, the impact is too widespread.]
Wen Wan: "It's my fault that he got into trouble."
The system, noticing its host's obviously off state, quickly said, "Look, the male lead is here."
Wen Wan instinctively looked up and saw a familiar white figure tearing through the clouds, like a god descending from heaven, as often described in literature with countless gorgeous words. For a moment, Wen Wan felt as if he could solve everything.
The two locked eyes.
No one paid attention to her, but all the demons saw Gu Yuan. They knew Gu Yuan so well that everyone attacked him, but no one could get close to him.
A large number of people died or were injured instantly.
"Hide."
Wen Wan suddenly heard Gu Yuan's voice booming in her ears. Knowing that Gu Yuan was talking to her, she quickly and obediently found a place to hide. "Master, save Senior Xiaoyao, he will die."
After that, Gu Yuan went to Xiaoyao Li's side.
The chains binding Xiaoyao Li were shattered. He looked at Gu Yuan without any emotion, for this was the first time these two generations of prodigies had met.
"So you're the all-powerful Immortal Venerable Gu Yuan that girl was talking about?"
"Senior Xiaoyao."
"Go now. My time has come. This tribulation is the fate I've been waiting for. If I survive it, I'll be fortunate. If I don't, it's my destiny to leave. You should understand me."
