Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 552 - 212: The Cyan Lotus Sect Still Has Survivors

"Elder Wen, do they seem to be having an internal conflict?"

"That woman’s probably trying to use this opportunity to get rid of her rival, isn’t she?"

"Hehe, this is how the renowned and righteous sects are; they preach morality and ethics, yet their hearts are full of malicious schemes!"

"Elder Wu, what do we do now?"

A group of people stood on the trees in the woods one mile away from the village, quietly peering towards the village.

To ensure safety, they had created an isolation array; they could see outside, but outsiders couldn’t detect them.

At this moment, seeing Cheng Qingyu about to strike Mo Xiaolan, they were all gloating.

Among them were two people at the center, evidently the leaders of this group; the one called Elder Wen was tall and burly.

Elder Wu, on the other hand, had a scholarly temperament, like a gentle scholar.

Interestingly, their names and temperaments are utterly different; if someone from the Three Great Sects saw them, they would be aghast:

"The Literary and Martial Two Demons of the Cyan Lotus Sect!"

The core figures of the Cyan Lotus Sect, besides the Sect Leader, the Senior Sister Sheng Tanglian, and Saintess Xia Qinglian, included four elders.

Among them, the fame of the "Literary and Martial Two Demons" was the loudest.

They were a pair of twin brothers; the older one named Xue Wen, burly and rugged; the younger one named Xue Wu, refined and gentle.

There was quite a contrast between their names and appearances, yet in battle, they were known for their powerful joint attacks, making their fierce reputation widespread.

Back when Cyan Lotus Mountain was besieged by the Three Great Sects, they happened to be leading their men to a village a hundred miles away to help villagers dispose of demonic beasts. When they heard the news and hurried back, the Cyan Lotus Sect was already gone.

Xue Wen wanted to go all out against the Three Great Sects but was stopped by his brother Xue Wu, who said to leave their lives to seek the Sect Leader and Saintess.

Not long after, news came that the Sect Leader and Saintess had died. Xue Wen was devastated, nearly committing suicide to accompany the Saintess.

Under Xue Wu’s persuasion, they led a few dozen men, preserving the last ember of the Cyan Lotus Sect.

However, the world was vast, with no place for them; they could only conceal themselves near Cyan Lotus Mountain, awaiting the chance for revenge.

Today, they discovered a group of Zhenyang Sect disciples had come to the village under Cyan Lotus Mountain.

The enemies came knocking, naturally not to be missed.

After some investigation, they found that Ye Xiyue, Wei Wan, and Su Xin, all renowned commanding disciples, were among them, realizing they couldn’t fight head-to-head. Xue Wu then devised a plan to kill a few to incite panic in the others, then defeat them one by one.

It happened that the unfortunate ones on night duty were Zheng Wei and his companion.

Xue Wu wasn’t skilled in combat, but he was a high-tier talisman and array master, especially adept at making various enchanting talismans.

An enchanting talisman could cause the mind to falter; those with low cultivation would faint instantly, while those with high cultivation would also become dazed.

Zheng Wei and Li Chengdao were momentarily ensnared by Xue Wu’s enchanting talisman, losing their defensive capability, allowing Xue Wen to strike successfully.

After the killing, the brothers led their men to hide outside the village, observing the reaction of the Zhenyang Sect disciples.

The effect was surprisingly good, not only leaving the Zhenyang Sect disciples terrified but causing internal strife among them.

Xue Wen was overjoyed, clenched his fist as big as a stewpot, his voice robust: "Haha, fight quickly! When Ye Xiyue, Wei Wan engage, after they’ve fought to the death, we’ll kill them all to avenge our brothers and the Saintess!"

He entered the Cyan Lotus Sect together with Xia Qinglian, trained together, grew up together, truly childhood companions.

The person Xue Wen cared most about was Xia Qinglian.

If not for avenging Xia Qinglian, he would have already ended his life as a sacrifice to the sect.

Xue Wu remained silent, suddenly making a sound: "Who is that woman?"

"Which one?" Xue Wen scratched his head, everyone else was puzzled too, seeing Xue Wu pointing at Ruo Mei who was observing in front of Zheng Wei’s corpse:

"That one."

Xue Wen squinted to take a closer look, shook his head: "Don’t know, just an insignificant person. Why are you noticing her, dear brother?"

Xue Wu was silent for a moment, slowly said: "I always feel a sense of familiarity from that woman."

Meanwhile, the situation in the village had changed again as a burly man stood opposite Cheng Qingyu, soon both sides were confronting each other, internal conflict was about to erupt.

"Good, good, let them fight quickly!"

Xue Wen was elated, everyone else also showed anticipation.

Suddenly, the unknown woman lifted her gaze, glancing towards them, Xue Wen was stunned, felt an invisible pressure at once.

Everyone else was also dumbfounded.

"This, this feeling is so terrifying, yet so familiar."

"Who is that woman exactly?"

Xue Wen stared dazedly at the petite woman, his gaze full of sorrow, in that moment, he seemed to see the Saintess.

When sparring with the Saintess before, it was that same cold and oppressive feeling.

"Impossible, it must be an illusion!"

In the village, Qin Gengyun and Liu Su stood by Mo Xiaolan, confronting Cheng Qingyu and her several sycophants.

Qiu Zhihe glanced at a certain direction outside the village, then turned to walk to Qin Gengyun’s side.

Cheng Qingyu coldly said: "Junior Brother He, Junior Sister Ruo, do you truly intend to harbor the culprit?"

Qin Gengyun chuckled: "Senior Sister Cheng, do you really think by merely saying a few words you can accuse Junior Brother Lanyin of being the culprit? Isn’t that too reckless? If that’s the case, I could say Zheng Wei and Li Chengdao were killed by you."

Cheng Qingyu laughed: "Why would I kill them?"

Qin Gengyun shrugged: "Because both of them coveted you, even wanted to take advantage of you, hence you had murderous intent. Only you could catch them off guard; see, you have both motive and capability, so I suspect you’re the culprit."

Cheng Qingyu was furious: "He Zhiqiu, don’t speak nonsense, when did they ever take advantage of me?"

Qin Gengyun spread his hands: "I learned from Senior Sister Cheng, anyway, it’s all about spouting nonsense, who wouldn’t?"

Poof! Several female disciples nearby couldn’t help but burst into laughter, hurriedly covered their mouths as Cheng Qingyu glared over.

Liu Su giggled: "Senior Sister Cheng has quite the majesty, slandering at will, not allowing others to speak, even commanding disciples can’t compare to your grandeur!"

"Such sharp-tongued siblings, I’ll apprehend you today, then interrogate!"

Cheng Qingyu was enraged, just as she was about to strike, with a thud, a large hammer landed in front of her, followed by a little girl dropping from the sky, sitting on the hammer, lazily looking at her.

Cheng Qingyu was startled, hurriedly said: "Fairy Su, what do you mean by this?"

Little Hammer yawned, pointed at Qin Gengyun: "I don’t like you; I like him. If you attack him, I’ll hammer you."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This guy surely has a relationship with Su Hongling!

The male disciples glared at Qin Gengyun fiercely, hearts pounding with jealousy!

Junior Sister Ruo likes He Zhiqiu; Senior Sister Ye likes He Zhiqiu; now even Su Hongling likes He Zhiqiu.

Why! I can’t take it, I’d rather die ahhhh!
