Chapter 282 Return to Shadow Sect
Zhong Hanshang's face turned pale in an instant. He clenched his fists violently, and his knuckles turned blue due to the force.
Those eyes that were always as calm as a deep pool were now filled with complex emotions - shock, anger, hurt, and a hint of unspeakable pain.
"Sect Master Shen," his voice was so low that it was almost hoarse, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.
"I have no connection with the Saintess of Liuli Sect, let alone any love."
He slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze swept across everyone present like a sharp sword.
When his gaze fell on Ye Lingyu, his eyes burned with long-suppressed anger.
“Senior Sister Ye,” Zhong Hanshang said word by word, “I, Zhong Hanshang, have never explained anything to anyone in my life. But today, I must make it clear—”
He suddenly raised his hand and cut his palm, and blood dripped onto the ground, forming a strange rune.
"I swear on my half-demon blood that if I have ever been false to Gao Huohuo, if I have had even the slightest connection with that saint, I will be tortured to death by the devils, and never be able to escape reincarnation!"
The moment the blood oath was completed, demonic energy surged throughout the hall, and a blood-red lightning struck down from nowhere, imprinting the rune on the ground.
This is the most serious oath of the demon clan. If it is violated, it will be fulfilled.
Ying took a step back in shock: "Are you crazy? This kind of oath..."
Zhong Hanshang seemed not to hear. He turned to Shen Cangxuan and knelt on one knee:
“Sect Master Shen, Huo Huo’s danger is all because of me.
If I cannot personally find her and bring her back safely, I, Zhong Hanshang, will not live alone."
The hall fell into dead silence, and everyone was shocked by his actions.
Shen Cangxuan stared deeply at the young man kneeling on the ground, and the sternness in his eyes gradually softened.
As the four of them set out, Hu Daji pulled Lou Chongxiao over and whispered:
"Huo Huo and I have a master-servant contract. I've sensed recently that she should be trapped somewhere in the demon clan."
"Elder Hu, is your information reliable?"
Hu Daji was so angry that he knocked Lou Chongxiao on the head twice. This was the information he had spent a lot of effort to get last night.
He actually doubted the authenticity of his news, he deserves to be beaten!
The black domain of the demon clan.
Gao Huohuo fainted not long after leaving Shadow Demon Lord's territory that day.
When she woke up again, she was already in an empty hall.
But no matter what she did, she couldn't get out, and there were no demon cultivators around.
I don’t know who locked her up here, nor do I know what their intentions are.
At the beginning, Gao Huohuo tried to contact his clone, but found that he couldn't get through at all.
Ten days passed quickly, and the place was so silent that it seemed as if it didn't exist.
Then she discovered that the place she was in was actually a time magic circle.
The time she spent inside should be much slower than outside. As for the specific ratio, Gao Huohuo didn't care.
Adhering to the principle of being here now, Gao Huohuo started practicing right away.
In someone else's territory, she didn't dare to openly make spiritual beads.
Five years passed quickly, and the spiritual power beads in the storage ring had been used up. With her strength, she still couldn't get out.
Ziying, Hanguang and Xiaolingzi have been in a deep sleep since they came in.
She could only try to contact the outside world again, but after another ten years, only the ghost blood vine gave her a faint response.
With no other options left, Gao Huohuo decided to try to retrieve his clone.
After all, it was written in the original Reincarnation Sutra that once all the clones were combined, her cultivation level would increase significantly.
In this way, she kept trying every day to cultivate her soul.
After repeated failures, Gao Huohuo started over again and again.
Fifteen years later, she finally felt the presence of her clone.
At the same time, Zhong Hanshang and the other three who were searching for the demons received a message.
Chen Wan'er and Princess Huohuo suddenly disappeared.
"Two months have passed. Ying, you and Aunt Mei go ask the other three Demon Lords. What do they say?"
Ying shook his head bitterly, "They said they had never seen Huohuo."
"Junior Sister, even her clone has disappeared this time. Could it be that this is a matter of life and death?"
As soon as Lou Chongxiao said this, the expressions of the people present changed instantly.
Three days later, in front of the Shadow Sect's mountain gate.
A woman in red came over, stepping through the morning dew.
Although there was no fluctuation of spiritual power, a suffocating pressure lingered around him.
"Who is coming?" the gatekeeper shouted.
"Gao Huohuo?" The woman uttered three words in confusion.
That should be her name! In her memory, she has always lived in the Shadow Sect. She is the first person beside the Sect Master Lin Zhipeng.
She also has a familiar senior sister Zhu Wen and a junior brother Lan Lie with an average personality.
Hearing this name, the gatekeeper felt as if he had heard someone say it before, but he couldn't remember where it was.
"Wait a minute, I'll go and report."
The woman nodded and stood there waiting quietly.
She had been gone for thirty years, so it was probably normal that the gatekeeper disciples didn't recognize her.
But she couldn't understand why she dared to go to the demon clan alone when she reached the Nascent Soul stage at the age of thirteen?
I was trapped there for thirty years and have only just escaped.
Just as she was still thinking about these things, the mountain gate suddenly opened and a group of people led by Lin Zhipeng came quickly.
Zhu Wen had a complicated expression, Lan Lie's face was full of horror, but there was no trace of joy in meeting old friends again.
It seems that she didn't have a good life in the Shadow Sect before. At least no one wants to see her again.
"Master, I'm back."
Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Zhipeng couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.
But in just ten years, her cultivation level had become so advanced that he could no longer see through her.
Could it be that she came back this time specifically to seek revenge on him?
But now the human race is in danger, and he, a dignified fusion cultivator, is not only crucial, but also has clung to the Liuli Sect a few days ago.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhipeng felt a little relieved.
"Gao Huohuo, where have you been for the past ten years? How did your injury heal?"
Ten years? She had clearly been there for thirty years.
But when she wanted to think about it, her head started to hurt.
What was going on? Why was it not as she expected?
"Master, I have been in the demon clan for many years and have just returned."
Hearing that she had been in the demon clan all along, Lin Zhipeng instantly understood how she had achieved such high levels of cultivation.
At the same time, he had already made up his mind. Now, because of Zhong Hanshang's half-demon identity, the human race hates demon cultivators deeply.
If Gao Huohuo is sent to the righteous monk, I am afraid that he will not only get benefits, but may also be able to take the opportunity to find another backer.
"I'm glad you're back. Lan Lie, quickly take your senior sister downstairs to rest."
Hearing this, Lan Lie looked at Gao Huohuo in disbelief.
Back then, she was in the chores department, and she had clearly...
But now she is standing in front of him alive, which is really unbelievable.
However, Gao Huohuo today is no longer the useless guy with no cultivation.
"Senior Sister Gao, please follow me." Lan Lie said respectfully.
