Chapter 18 [VIP] Bloody Immortal Hero (18)

The plan was set for the night before the wedding. It was dark at night and even if he made some noise while escaping, it would not be easily noticed.

At this time, Ye Qingsang's cultivation had already recovered to a large extent.

On the last night, Ye Qingsang couldn't help but go to the yard where Nan Yan lived.

But when he reached the door, he suddenly felt shy. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and she had never come to see him since the last time.

I endured it again and again, but finally I couldn't help it and knocked on her door.

Nan Yan opened the door and saw that the person coming was Ye Qingsang. She looked a little surprised, but she let him in anyway. She turned around and poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"What do you want to see me about so late?"

The room was quiet for a while.

After a long silence, Ye Qingsang spoke in a hoarse voice, "Actually, there's nothing wrong. I just came here to talk about what happened last time..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted quietly.

"You don't need to talk about what happened last time."

Nan Yan shook her head. She seemed to have misunderstood. She frowned and said directly, "Don't worry. I have already promised you something and I will not go back on my word. You just need to... take good care of her."

Ye Qingsang's expression froze.

Did she think that was what he was saying?

Why does he feel so uncomfortable?

Especially this calm and cold attitude, which made him feel cold all over. When did the relationship between them become so estranged? Ye Qingsang Ning would rather be blamed and criticized by her, even if she scolded him, but he really didn't want to be so cold, like ordinary strangers, and have nothing to do with each other in the future.

He thought again of the day when she said that their relationship was over...

When he thought of this, Ye Qingsang felt empty inside, as if nothing was left.

At this moment, a trace of sadness flashed across Ye Qingsang's eyes. He himself didn't know why he felt so uncomfortable at the moment. He just felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and even breathing became difficult.

He looked at Nan Yan and said subconsciously, "No..."

Ye Qingsang pursed his lips, holding back the pain in his heart, and tightly grasped her wrist, "That's not what I meant."

When Nan Yan heard this, she seemed a little confused, "What do you want to say?"

Ye Qingsang stared at her face closely. The uneasiness and tension in his heart made him pause for a moment, and then he spoke out his true thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

"What I want to say is that I regret it... I don't want to leave you here alone. I want to take you with me. Let's leave here together, okay?"

After saying this, even he himself was a little stunned. It turned out that this was what he had been thinking in his heart all along. He liked her, wanted to take her away, wanted to protect her, and was even more worried that she would be scared and worried that she would be bullied, so he was absent-minded all day...

His mind was full of little details about the time the two of them had spent together. Even though they had only known each other for a short time, he felt as if they had been together for a lifetime.

Especially the period in the mortal world which he thought was the most painful and darkest. He missed it very much now. He shouldn't care about those messy things, and he shouldn't make such excessive demands on her.

She never owed him anything. Instead, they, he and He Nanwan, owed her so much...

Obviously...there are so many ways in this world, right?

Why must she be the substitute?

He could obviously think of other ways to help He Nanwan, why did he have to hurt her?

He even made such an excessive request to her and asked her not to force him...it was obviously him who was forcing her!

Ye Qingsang had never regretted so much before. She regretted so much that she wanted to slap her former self to death. How could he say such words to her and hurt her so recklessly?

Nan Yan was also a little surprised to hear what he said. She thought that his regret would come later, at least until the two of them escaped. However, this man seemed to have suddenly realized it. Unfortunately, to her, it didn't matter.

Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then seemed to react, "Do you really know what you are talking about?"

Ye Qingsang looked at her seriously, afraid to miss any expression on her face, "I know, I want to take you away."

After a long silence, she finally shook her head and said.

“…It’s too late.”

The woman's voice was very soft, like a willow branch, slowly sweeping across Ye Qingsang's heart, causing his chest to tremble uncontrollably.

How could that be?

Why is it late?

Ye Qingsang's expression froze in an instant. The panic that kept surging in his heart made him grab Nan Yan's hand uncontrollably.

"We haven't started yet, how can we be late? In fact, there is one thing I haven't told you. My cultivation has already..."

Before he could finish his words, she interrupted him gently.

Nan Yan raised her eyes slightly and stared into his eyes, "So after hurting me, are you planning to hurt another woman in the same way?"

Nan Yan was silent for a moment, then with a little force, she pulled her wrist out of his palm. "You clearly know that she can only rely on you now. Are you planning to give up on her completely by saying this now?"

Ye Qingsang paused, "That's not what I meant..."

Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh, "Look, you are still like this, unable to let go of her or me. Don't you understand that your indecision will only hurt everyone..."

Ye Qingsang's body froze instantly.

But then I heard her say, "Actually no matter who you choose at the time, you will regret it later, so just do what you originally thought."

"Besides, you don't have to feel guilty, because..."

Nan Yan's face was expressionless, but her eyes revealed a hint of stubbornness, "There is something I have never told you... The person I like is Chu Liyue. He is the one I have liked from the beginning to the end... So, even if I am being married off, I am willing."

As soon as he said this, all the color disappeared from Ye Qingsang's face.

At that moment, I felt as if I was drenched from head to toe by a bucket of ice water, and my heart was chilled to the core.

He loosened his hands, which had been tightly grasping, and in a trance he accidentally knocked over the cups on the table.

"You like... Chu Liyue?"

He heard his own dry and hoarse voice with some disbelief, but her serious expression forced him to believe it.

Nan Yan lowered her head and said "hmm", then continued to provoke: "He is the one I like from the beginning, otherwise I would not have agreed to marry for him. I also thought about giving up... but I can't seem to do it..."

When Ye Qingsang heard her say that she liked Chu Liyue, he just wanted her to stop saying it, stop saying it...

He had lived for so many years, but for the first time in his life, he felt a sense of desolation and despair from the bottom of his heart.

She likes...Chu Liyue?

Then what is he?

Those dense emotions of jealousy were like ants that were ready to devour anyone, wanting to devour his entire heart.

Until the end, he didn't even know how he left. He just felt that his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He kept thinking about what she had just said. She said she liked Chu Liyue...

Every time I think about it, I feel like there's a hole in my chest, with cold wind blowing in. I feel like I'm falling into an icy cave, so cold that I can't even utter a word.

Is Chu Liyue really that good?

Ye Qingsang's eyes were dim and unclear, he only felt the hatred in his chest surging and intertwined, so heavy that it made it hard to breathe.

Why do all the people he cares about like Chu Liyue? It was like this with He Nanwan before, and now there’s He Nanyan among them?

Anyone else can do it, why her?

Why... did you have to take her away!

…

The wedding took place as planned, and the originally lifeless Youdu suddenly became lively.

Especially these palaces that usually look cold and uninhabited, have been renovated to be even more exquisite and magnificent at the request of Lord Demon, with red walls, green tiles, railings, and an indescribable joy inside and outside.

And in the past few days, a smile gradually appeared on the Demon Lord's face.

Many sharp-eyed maids saw that the cruel Demon Lord could also laugh, and his laugh was so gentle and beautiful.

Not only that, Lord Demon's temper has also become much milder recently. He is no longer like before, going on killing sprees at every turn and scaring off the evil spirits in the underworld so much that they dare not show up.

The Demon Lord has really changed now.

And all this was because of the newly married Demon Queen.

In the eyes of the maids, this was the Demon Lord's second marriage, and the one he married was the Fairy He he had always dreamed of, so it was naturally extremely solemn.

But in Chu Liyue's eyes, he just wanted to give everything he had to the person in his heart.

He really owed her too much.

He made many mistakes in the past, but he won't do that anymore. He will spend his whole life making it up to her, loving her, and never letting her be hurt by anyone again.

Fortunately... they still have a lifetime to live. What worries him now is that she doesn't seem to have any talent for cultivation... The life span of mortals is not as long as that of cultivators. Chu Liyue has already thought of countless ways to teach her how to cultivate, and there are also those elixirs. Her body is so weak, so she needs to be nourished...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help wanting to see her again, but he had heard that there was a custom in the mortal world that married men and women could not see each other the night before, otherwise it would be unlucky.

In the past, Chu Liyue would never believe these things, but perhaps when he thought that Nan Yan came from the mortal world, he began to believe them a little.

There will always be someone in this world who will completely occupy your heart and make you feel soft-hearted even when you think of her.

He was still immersed in the joy of getting married when a maid ran in in a panic, "Sir, it's bad... the bride is missing!"

Two people were missing this time.

He Nanwan and Nan Yan disappeared together.

This was different from their original plan.

Chu Liyue took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in his heart. No... Nan Yan would not lie to him. She had already promised him. Someone must have taken her away.

Facts have proven this to be true.

Two hours ago.

The two sisters exchanged identities early on. He Nanwan was waiting for Ye Qingsang to arrive in the house, but her senior brother did not come. Instead, a demon monk in a black robe came.

So both of them were caught by this evil cultivator.

And this scene is so similar to the plot in the original text.

The only difference is that this time, He Nanwan was also captured. She could have escaped, but her cultivation had long been restricted. She was also trapped by the evil cultivator in a strange copper cauldron with a layer of barrier around it. Now faced with this sudden situation, she was powerless.

Chu Liyue closed his eyes, released his consciousness, and finally locked onto the Bixiao Palace where the two had gotten married. Inside the palace, the lights were always on, the wooden pillars were painted red, and the surrounding jade walls were engraved with intricate and exquisite exotic beast patterns.

The candles on the bronze stand flickered slightly, and the hall was filled with shadows, making the surroundings even more eerie and quiet.

A trace of demonic aura leaked out.

Chu Liyue suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

And this premonition came true. He saw Ye Qingsang in the center of the Bixiao Palace, but the demonic energy did not seem to come from him. It seemed that he had help...

There were killed demon guards all around, and a hint of bloody smell wafting in the air.

The tip of the sword, shining with a cold light, touched the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound.

Blood was still dripping from the sword.

Chu Liyue frowned. He could naturally see that this man had cultivated magic and restored his cultivation with the help of the magic core. But what he cared about at the moment was not this matter, but where he had hidden Nan Yan.

Thinking of this, Chu Liyue became more and more impatient, and his aura became more and more solemn, "You caught her?"

"Her? I wonder who the Demon Lord is talking about?"

Ye Qingsang sneered, flipping the sword carelessly, and said with malice, "I really want to know who is the one that Lord Demon wants?"

Ye Qingsang wanted to settle all the old and new grudges together. At this moment, he just wanted Chu Liyue to taste the humiliation he had suffered. But before that, he would let Nan Yan see clearly that Chu Liyue was not worthy of her love, and the person he liked had never been her.

Ye Qingsang smiled, "But then again, how could a dignified Lord Demon, with all his magical powers and all-seeing eyes, not even be able to protect a woman?"

This provocative voice suddenly made the atmosphere around them tense.

Chu Liyue has never been a good-tempered person. The reason he has been patient until now is because he doesn't know Nan Yan's whereabouts and dares not act rashly.

Now, after hearing this, his expression changed drastically. He turned his wrist and raised it, and a sharp sword with a cold glow pointed directly at the brow of the man opposite him.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly became tense, like a taut string ready to explode at any moment.

"Ye Qingsang, if I can destroy you once, I can destroy you a second time." There was murderous intent in his eyes, "Let me ask you, where did you hide her?"

Ye Qingsang's eyes were dim. Thinking of the scene when his Dantian was destroyed, hatred in his eyes deepened. "Master Demon is quite arrogant. He wants to destroy me for the second time. Then I'll see if you have the ability to do so."

There was a murderous aura all around.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color and the clouds rolled.

The fight between monks would naturally cause a lot of noise, and the scene was almost earth-shaking. All one could see was the flash of silver light in the sky, and wherever the sword energy passed, the palaces and platforms collapsed and were destroyed in an instant.

"Bang--"

The load-bearing columns in the main hall were broken by the sword energy, and a large number of jade carvings fell down, killing many evil spirits who didn't have time to dodge.

Gravel was flying everywhere on the ground, and wailing sounds were heard one after another.

The two fought from inside the hall to outside until their figures disappeared. In the end, Ye Qingsang was defeated. Under the overwhelming murderous intentions, his blood boiled and he spat out blood.

To see is to lose...

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind him, and a strong wind hit him directly behind his head.

The palm strike was so powerful that it carried a murderous intent to destroy the opponent's life. Chu Liyue was unable to dodge and was suddenly hit on the back of the shoulder. He was caught off guard and vomited blood, and his breathing became disordered in an instant.

Chu Liyue's expression suddenly turned cold. He turned around and saw the attacker's figure clearly. A dangerous look flashed in his eyes. "It turned out to be you."

The former Lord of Youdu, a former defeated general by his subordinates, he clearly remembered that this man had been chopped to death by his sword, but he never thought that he would escape.

So, are these two teaming up?

When the demon cultivator saw that his attack missed, he did not continue, but laughed wildly. The black robe wrapped around his body was blown by the wind, making a rustling sound, revealing two strange black eyes.

"Yes, it is me."

"I heard that the Demon Lord is celebrating a big wedding today. I always like to join in the fun, so I wanted to come here and ask for a glass of wedding wine. I wonder if the Demon Lord would be willing to give me a drink?"

The demon cultivator's voice was hoarse and gloomy, and he actually laughed sinisterly after he finished speaking, which clearly showed that he had bad intentions.

Chu Liyue sneered repeatedly, not afraid at all, "There is no wedding wine, but there is a lot of throat-clotting poison wine. If you want, I can feed you enough."

He raised his hand as he finished speaking, and the sharp sword energy pierced through the void, and the overwhelming murderous intent attacked him instantly.

The demon cultivator's expression twisted strangely for a moment, but he continued, "That's such a pity. I have carefully prepared a great gift for the Demon Lord. It seems that the Demon Lord is not interested in this gift..."

Having said that, he raised his hand and removed the barrier.

A cold light suddenly gathered in his palms, and the palm wind attacked the two women on the platform like a sharp sword.

Chu Liyue was originally wondering why he didn't hide, but when he saw the face of the woman on the platform clearly...

At that moment, Chu Liyue's heart almost stopped, and his eyes were fixed in the direction of the two people.

"stop!"
