Chu Hongluan frowned, trying to interrupt them: "Wait, you don't need to..."
"Elder Chu! We are indeed afraid of death! But we can distinguish right from wrong, we are not blind! It is not difficult to tell who is good and who is bad!"
Eh...
Chu Hongluan stopped talking, and the originally cold and hard lines on her face softened unconsciously.
Actually, this feeling isn't bad.
More and more people stepped forward to vouch for them, gradually exceeding half. In the end, nearly 70% of the people stood beside Chu Hongluan and her companion, protesting silently.
The Sword Pavilion Sect Master's expression froze, and the Sword Pavilion members were at a loss.
As for Mo Yu, he couldn't believe it.
How could this happen?
He is the true leader of the righteous path!
He was destined to become a sword immortal!
Why don't you believe him!
These people should be supporting him!
However, at this point, Jian Ge could no longer afford to act unilaterally.
The Sword Pavilion Sect Master took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and made his final decision:
"Since everyone is willing to vouch for me, I will not make things difficult for you. Let's leave it at that."
"metropolitan?!"
"My mind is made up! Don't mention it again!"
Thus, this farce finally came to an end.
The seven major factions returned to their respective homes and went back to their respective mothers.
After this incident, Chu Hongluan's fame soared once again.
Eighteen years old! The youngest person in history to reach the Mahayana stage!!!
As a result, Liu Jinghong, the young master of Tianji Pavilion who was inseparable from Chu Hongluan, also became a prominent figure, and everyone was speculating about the relationship between the two.
Later, disciples from the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion secretly leaked inside information: mutual affection and true love lasting until death.
Thus, this beautiful love story, which everyone envied, was passed down by word of mouth, and later it was made into a picture book and performed on the stage.
On the other side, however, the atmosphere was completely different.
Mo Yu, the chief disciple of Jian Ge, was thrust into the spotlight because of his six-character motto, "Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."
Jiange's indifferent and cold-blooded attitude has repeatedly intensified public anger.
In just a few days, the area outside the gates of Jiange Mountain was littered with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves! Even the most solemn and dignified Jiange plaque was splashed with black dog blood by an unknown expert at night, and the smell lingered for a long time.
In the end, the Sword Pavilion Sect Master had no choice but to personally step in and publicly strip Mo Yu of his position as the head disciple, expelling him from the sect and severing all ties between master and disciple.
At the same time, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was preparing for the Daoist couple's grand ceremony for Chu Hongluan and Liu Jinghong.
Chu Hongluan and Liu Jinghong, on the other hand, immersed themselves in their spatial bracelets, cultivating day and night. Even Gu Chunxiao and the others were forced to cultivate diligently, which was somewhat like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
Afterwards, Ke Tinghe and Feng Sili visited Tianji Pavilion one after another, and were also pulled into the cultivation group by Chu Hongluan.
This was the calm before the storm. Chu Hongluan knew better than anyone that they had to improve their strength as soon as possible to deal with the demons' counterattack.
She hadn't forgotten that the Demon Lord had four protectors under his command.
Besides the death of the Great Protector, the whereabouts of three other protectors are unknown, including the supposedly ferocious Yu Meiren Protector.
The Demon Lord had been lying low, intending to possess Liu Jinghong's body, but now his grand plan had failed, and he had suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Chu Hongluan. Given the Demon Clan's vengeful nature, he would definitely take action next.
This is also what Chu Hongluan hoped for.
If they are eager for revenge, they must first leave the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
There is only one way to escape the Ten Thousand Demon Cave: possess a human cultivator's body.
She has already instructed the Pavilion Master's wife to send secret letters to all the major sects, informing them to be on high alert in the near future and to avoid letting their disciples travel alone, lest they be captured by the Demon Lord's henchmen and used as vessels.
If it's difficult to find a loophole among righteous cultivators, then... the bodies of demonic cultivators are not out of the question, right?
If demons had physical bodies, it would be tantamount to giving up immortality.
She will kill them then.
Not a single one was left.
A thorough summary of the era of the Demon Race.
Three months later, the intelligence personnel responsible for keeping watch around the wilderness finally sent back a message.
The Heavenly Demon, accompanied by a horde of demonic soldiers, emerged and broke through the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. Meanwhile, the secret agents jointly established by the seven sects were wiped out by a single demonic woman, unable to hold out for even half a day.
Subsequently, the demons occupied Chaos City as their capital and began to expand savagely in all directions, taking nearly 100,000 people hostage and demanding that Chu Hongluan come to negotiate in person!
"Oh? You want me to go myself?"
Chu Hongluan rested her chin on one hand, a meaningful smile on her face, while her other hand tapped rhythmically on the table with her knuckles.
A celestial demon has been born...
But Liu Jinghong was right beside her.
Who is that newly born demon?
Chu Hongluan smiled, feeling a strange sense of anticipation. It would be good to go; knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
"Okay, I'll go."
"I'll go with you."
Liu Jinghong spoke without hesitation.
"Sister Hongluan! I want to go too!"
"Elder Chu, please take me with you!"
"Me too!"
Chu Hongluan shook her head and raised her hand to interrupt them: "No need, I'll go alone, none of you are allowed to come with me."
"Can……"
"Having you all with me would actually hinder my performance." She smiled nonchalantly. "Don't worry, I'm a dignified Mahayana cultivator. If I wanted to run away, who could stop me?"
All the words of dissuasion were swallowed back down her throat.
Who can change her mind once she's made up her mind?
That night, Liu Jinghong stayed in Chu Hongluan's room, whining and refusing to leave, insisting that she would sleep on the floor and not leave her side for a moment until Chu Hongluan left.
"Perfect, I'll help you break the contract first."
Liu Jinghong suddenly took a step back: "No!"
In fact, as early as when she first returned to Wuming Immortal Mountain, Chu Hongluan had proposed to terminate the master-servant contract many times, but each time Liu Jinghong would vaguely brush it off.
"If you want to go alone, I won't stop you. But I will absolutely not break this contract."
"Don't talk like a child. How can the young master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion have such a mark on his body?"
"They're all excuses."
Liu Jinghong lowered her head and murmured.
As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist, and slammed her against the wall.
Chu Hongluan let out a muffled groan.
Liu Jinghong was rarely so assertive, so much so that she didn't react for a moment.
She thought he was going to kiss her.
But no, he simply leaned down and buried his face in her shoulder.
The damp heat spread across my neck.
His voice sounded low, hoarse, and sorrowful.
"You're also afraid of never coming back, aren't you? The master-servant contract dictates that the servant lives for the master and follows the master in death."
"I do not want to break the contract. If my junior sister dies, I do not want to live alone."
"So, you absolutely must come back alive."
Promise me.
Chu Hongluan remained silent.
Liu Jinghong involuntarily stepped back a little, trying to see the expression on her face clearly. Before his vision could clear, she firmly grabbed the back of his head and kissed him heavily.
"Junior sister..."
