After Leng Yan left the hall, Xiao Qingchuan looked at the corpses on the ground in the hall, then waved his hand and black flames burned on the corpses.
Xiao Qingchuan left the hall and watched the corpses gradually turn to ash as the demonic flame devoured them. He waited until all the bodies were burned to ash before withdrawing the demonic flame and began to instruct his men on what to do next.
In the evening, almost everything was resolved. In the hall, Xiao Qingchuan sat in the position of the Demon Lord and reviewed the memorials on the desk. There were a lot of things to do today and Xiao Qingchuan was very tired, but he still insisted on reviewing the memorials.
At this time, greetings came from outside. Xiao Qingchuan looked up and saw Leng Yan walking towards the main hall, her eyes revealing indifference and alienation. Leng Yan walked to the desk in front of Xiao Qingchuan and said, "I'm leaving now. I have done what I promised you."
Xiao Qingchuan subconsciously clenched the pen in his hand and it broke all of a sudden, but Leng Yan seemed not to notice and looked at Xiao Qingchuan.
Xiao Qingchuan lowered his eyes to hide the dark color in his eyes, then looked up at Leng Yan and said with a sincere smile: "Okay, how about having a farewell drink before leaving?"
Leng Yan said, "Okay." Xiao Qingchuan waved his hand, and the subordinates beside him retreated. Soon they brought a tray with a pot of wine and two cups on it.
Xiao Qingchuan picked up a wine glass and poured a glass of wine for Leng Yan, then poured himself a glass of wine, and then they both drank. After Leng Yan drank it, he put the wine glass back on the tray and said, "Goodbye."
As he said this, he walked out of the hall. Leng Yan from his sleeve, which Xiao Qingchuan couldn't see, informed Xiao Qian'an and Xiao Ce'an that they could take action.
Behind him, Xiao Qingchuan watched Leng Yan's leaving back and counted silently in his heart. When Leng Yan walked to the door of the hall, his body suddenly went limp and fell down.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingchuan immediately dodged over and hugged Leng Yan. Leng Yan, who was pretending to be unconscious, realized that she was being hugged by Xiao Qingchuan and her murderous intention towards Xiao Qingchuan became stronger and stronger, but she suppressed it.
Xiao Qingchuan then carried Leng Yan out of the hall and walked towards a palace. When Xiao Qingchuan walked in, he saw a huge golden cage, which contained all the daily necessities. Xiao Qingchuan walked to the bed, opened the bead curtain and placed Leng Yan on the bed.
Then he turned around, left the cage, locked it, and returned to the main hall. After he left, Leng Yan opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. She only took a glance at the exquisite cages around her, and the formations engraved on them that could restrain people's cultivation, then Leng Yan withdrew her gaze.
Xiao Qingchuan didn't know that the first formation Leng Yan broke at Han Qing's place was a formation that restricted people's cultivation.
Leng Yan had just broken the formation when she entered the hall, and also set up an illusion on it. To others, she was still sleeping on the bed.
Looking at the maids in the hall, Leng Yan didn't care at all. No matter how many people came, they would all see her sleeping.
Leng Yan had not been sitting on the bed for long when she heard the guards in the hall next to her report that Xiao Qian'an had rebelled. The most important thing was that the demon soldiers under Xiao Qian'an were extremely difficult to deal with, and it seemed like someone was helping him.
Xiao Qingchuan ordered more troops to suppress the rebellion, and then came to the palace where Leng Yan lived. When the maids saw Xiao Qingchuan, they immediately knelt down and saluted. Xiao Qingchuan asked them to go out, opened the cage door and walked in.
At this time, Leng Yan was sitting at the tea table in the cage, her aura concealed. She watched Xiao Qingchuan approach the "her" on the bed step by step, and then discovered that the "her" on the bed was a decoy.
In an instant, Xiao Qingchuan's expression darkened, and he angrily blasted out bursts of demonic energy. Just when the palace was almost destroyed, Xiao Qingchuan looked at the table that was still intact.
Xiao Qingchuan stared at that place closely, and then he saw Leng Yan's figure appear. Looking at Xiao Qingchuan with a gloomy face, Leng Yan said in a light tone: "This is your true self. Aren't you tired of pretending before?"
Xiao Qingchuan looked at the still calm Leng Yan with a gloomy look and asked, "Why do you want to help Xiao Qi'an?" Leng Yan said, "Because I think he is more suitable to be the Demon Lord than you."
Xiao Qingchuan looked at Leng Yan with anger in his tone and said, "I am obviously better than him, why don't you help me but him?" Leng Yan looked at Xiao Qingchuan and said, "I helped you too."
Leng Yan looked at Xiao Qingchuan who was still angry and continued, "The most important thing is that he won't look at me with such disgusting eyes as you do." Xiao Qingchuan was stunned when these words came out. His mother taught him since he was a child that if he wanted something, he had to fight for it himself.
What his father taught him was that if he liked someone, he should find a way to keep that person by his side. No one ever taught him how to love someone.
Seeing the confusion in Xiao Qingchuan's eyes, Leng Yan said calmly, "Fight with me. If you win, I will stop Xiao Qi'an and Xiao Ce'an. If you lose, you will die."
Xiao Qingchuan looked at Leng Yan, smiled and said, "Okay." Then the two of them started fighting in the hall. Looking at Xiao Qingchuan's gloomy face, Leng Yan sighed in his heart that Xiao Qingchuan still couldn't resist the temptation of power.
This is also why she doesn't let Xiao Qingchuan become the Demon Lord. If someone who values power so much as Xiao Qingchuan becomes the Demon Lord, it will be easy for him to lose himself and may even provoke a war between immortals and demons in the future. She doesn't want to take that risk, so she can't let Xiao Qingchuan become the Demon Lord.
The two exchanged hundreds of blows quickly, and those who heard the fighting and rushed over didn't dare to approach. After all, the commotion caused by the two was too great. Some people wanted to get closer, but before they could get close, they were killed by Leng Yan's sword energy. Now, no one else dared to move forward.
But seeing their master being beaten so badly, they became extremely anxious and tried to find a solution.
Finally, they decided to surround Leng Yan. Leng Yan noticed them and spun the Hanyue Sword in his hand. Suddenly, sword energy appeared in the air. Those sword energy flew towards the demon cultivators who were surrounding him as if they had consciousness.
