Chapter 290 What happened to the evil cultivator?
When Zhong Hanshang and Gao Huohuo escaped, Ying was already waiting outside the Demon King's palace.
"Huo Huo, are you okay?"
Ying quickly stepped forward, his eyes scanning her body, and after confirming that she was safe, his tense expression relaxed slightly.
Facing these two demon cultivators whom she disliked, Gao Huohuo felt a subtle sense of embarrassment.
After all, just a few days ago, she personally locked the two of them in the dungeon.
"No problem."
She responded coldly, then turned and was about to leave.
At this moment, she just wanted to find a secluded place, wait for her spiritual power to recover, and then find Yao Ye to settle the account.
"You guys go back to the demon clan, and let the others go back to the human clan. Don't worry about what happens next." She said without turning her head.
She didn't want to cause them to be hated by the Demon King because of herself.
"Huohuo, we all came out this time just to find you, won't you come with us?"
Ying's voice came from behind, and Gao Huohuo's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Looking for her? They were all looking for her?
When the people from the Shadow Sect saw her, there was no joy of reunion in their eyes. The sect leader Lin Zhipeng even wanted to take her life.
If she hadn't been strong enough, she would have been killed right after escaping from the demon clan.
But these people, whom she had no impression of, were willing to take the risk and enter the demon tribe, and came to rescue her regardless of their own lives when she was trapped.
An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and she suddenly wanted desperately to regain those lost memories.
However, when she tried to piece together the fragments in her mind, severe pain suddenly hit her, as if countless sharp needles were stirring in her skull.
She groaned, subconsciously covered her head, and her body swayed slightly.
"Fire!"
Zhong Hanshang held her in his arms, and the warmth from his palm startled her slightly.
He frowned, his voice low and restrained: "If you can't remember, don't think about it."
Gao Huohuo looked up at him, and in those scarlet devilish eyes there was a hint of complex emotions that she could not understand.
She opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing.
In the end, Gao Huohuo did not leave alone again, and they did not return to the fox clan this time.
The Demon King was definitely not a good guy. After discussion, everyone decided to avoid the attack for a while and agreed to meet at a remote mountainside on the border of the demon clan.
When everyone arrived one after another, Gao Huohuo saw the injured Lin Qingxue and Bai He at a glance.
The woman who claimed to be her seventh senior sister was pale, and the young man who always called her junior uncle had a blood-stained cloth wrapped around his arm.
Her fingertips curled unconsciously.
These people were injured while trying to save her.
It’s a pity that her spiritual power is now sealed and she has lost all her memories.
Unable to even utter a proper thank you, he could only stand there in silence, a rare trace of guilt in his eyes.
Fortunately, Sixth Senior Sister Zhao Feiyue keenly noticed her emotions and stepped forward to gently hold her hand:
"Junior sister, how are you?"
Gao Huohuo shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"As long as you are okay, everything we do is worth it."
A gentle spiritual power came from Zhao Feiyue's fingertips. Although it couldn't break the restriction, it eased her tense nerves a little.
Chu Lingchuan strode over and patted her shoulder heavily:
"Junior Sister, Master and Elder Hu are waiting at the sect for us to bring you back safely."
"Yes, Junior Master, as long as you are well, that's all that matters.
You've always protected me, and this time it's finally my turn to help." Bai He grinned despite the pain.
Each word of unconditional concern was like a fine needle, gradually breaking down the defenses she had built up in her heart.
Gao Huohuo lowered his eyelashes and allowed himself to believe for the first time.
Perhaps she really was their junior sister and had been treated sincerely by such a group of people.
She suddenly looked up at Lou Chongxiao.
In the morning light, the tall silhouette of the young man suddenly overlapped with a vague figure in his memory.
"After I left the Shadow Sect...the person I met was you?"
The air suddenly froze.
Lou Chongxiao's pupils trembled slightly, and his usually casual voice suddenly became a little anxious.
"Little Junior Sister, do you remember? I am your eighth senior brother Lou Chongxiao. It was me who introduced you to the Shadow Moon Sect."
Expectant gazes came like a tide, but Gao Huohuo could only smile bitterly.
"It's just that a picture flashed through my mind. That figure looks a lot like you, so..."
The light in everyone's eyes dimmed. Ye Lingyu gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"Don't worry, little apprentice sister. Take your time. You will remember it eventually."
The mountain breeze blew across her blood-stained cuffs, blowing away an almost inaudible sigh.
Ying broke the slightly dull atmosphere at the right time, tapping his fingertips on the map and analyzing clearly.
“The border between the demon race and the human race must be heavily guarded now, so it’s too risky to rush through.
In my opinion, it would be better to find a secluded place to rest for a while."
Ye Lingyu's gaze lingered on Gao Huohuo several times, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Gao Huohuo raised his eyes to meet her gaze, "What do you want to say? Feel free to say it."
"Junior Sister, we were in the demon tribe before and have been cooperating with the Blood Demon Society. Do you want to go to the Blood Demon Society?
But now that you have lost your memory, I am afraid they will find out.
Furthermore, the power of the Demon King is still unclear, so I wonder if the Blood Demon Club is safe?"
When mentioning the power of the Demon King, Gao Huohuo's eyes darkened slightly:
"Yao Ye not only knows all my identities, but also knows that I recently lost my memory.
There must be a traitor within the Fox Tribe, and it's very likely someone close to us."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhong Hanshang was the first to suspect Feng Lan.
"Is it the young master of the Fox Clan?"
"Not him."
Gao Huohuo's firm denial made a dark flash in Zhong Hanshang's eyes.
It's only been a few days, does she trust Feng Lan so much?
He wanted to continue explaining, but suddenly stopped talking when he caught a glimpse of Zhong Hanshang's tense jawline.
Gao Huohuo couldn't even explain why she did it on purpose.
Maybe she just wanted to see how this demon cultivator, who had risked half his life for her, would react when he heard these words.
"Then...is Huan Ye a suspect?"
This time Gao Huohuo did not speak, but just carefully recalled the process of their getting along.
She tapped her fingertips on her knees and told the story of her first encounter with Huan Ye.
When talking about Lin Zhipeng's ruthless killing, Chu Lingchuan slammed the table and stood up.
"Ridiculous! A person like Little Junior Sister, wouldn't be a treasure in any sect? The Shadow Sect's leader actually wants to kill you?"
"Maybe it's because of what I did in the Shadow Sect before..."
Ye Lingyu and Lou Chongxiao said in unison: "Nonsense! How could such a good person like you, Junior Sister?!"
Ying suddenly spoke in a low voice, "As far as I know, isn't the Shadow Sect an evil sect? So Huo Huo, were you an evil cultivator before?"
In an instant, several glares flew towards him.
Ye Lingyu sneered: "What's wrong with being an evil cultivator? Even if our little sister is an evil cultivator, she is still a hundred times stronger than those evil cultivators who hide their heads and show their tails all day long!"
Zhong Hanshang, who was innocently shot by an arrow, silently moved two steps to the side and drew a clear line between himself and Ying.
