Chapter 143 Demon Slaying Even (2/2)
Xiao Chen slept late last night, so he woke up at noon the next day. Yu Yifeng worried that he was tired these days, so he didn't come to wake him up. Luo Shangyan waited outside and heard the noise in the room. She asked in a low voice, ”Are you awake?”
Xiao Chen felt the light outside was slightly dazzling. Presumably, it was getting late. He asked, ”Senior Sister Luo, what time is it now?”
”It's already noon. I'm afraid you've been tired for the past two days, so I didn't wake you up.”
Xiao Chen nodded his head and said, ”Wait for me.” He got up quickly, put on his clothes, washed his face and teeth, and pushed open the door. He saw Luo Shangyan standing in the yard under an apricot tree and said, ”Let's go to the square at the mountain foot.”
The two people immediately walked to the square down the mountain. When they still had some distance to go, they heard the noise coming from the square. They stepped up their pace. When they arrived at the square, they saw that the square was crowded with people. It seemed that the number of people was more than that of the days before.
In the west, a young girl was tied to the Demon-tying Pillar on the high platform. The young girl was dressed in white without dust. She wore a green ribbon around her waist and two small bells hung on it. At first glance, Xiao Chen only felt somewhat familiar with the costume. But at the moment, because she was facing him with her back, he could not see the face of the girl.
Two disciples of the Widespread Wintriness Sect stood at the left and right of the Demon-tying Pillar. Not far away were Sikong Yun and Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue's face was deadpan, and she did not speak. Instead, Sikong Yun had a malicious face and kept threatening, ”Tell me! What are you evil people doing here in the East Continent?”
The girl kept shaking her head and crying. ”I am not a demon, I am not a demon...”
This voice... Xiao Chen's body shook. He turned into a white beam and flew to the platform. He then punched twice to send the two Widespread Wintriness Sect disciples away.
Facing such a sudden scene, everyone was surprised. Many people were confused. ”Isn't he the warrior who went to the Wuwang Wind Cloud City? What is he doing now?”
Yu Yifeng and Luo Shangyan also did not expect him to suddenly make such a move. They shouted in unison, ”Junior Brother Xiao!”
Sikong Yun was concentrating on interrogation, so he was frightened by the sudden move. It took him quite a while to realize the situation. He thundered, ”What are you doing!” Xiaoyue was also confused and then immediately cast puzzled eyes.
However, to all the voices outside, whether in doubt or rebuke, Xiao Chen turned a deaf ear and walked step by step to the front of the young girl. The young girl looked up and saw him. Two lines of tears suddenly fell like pearls on broken lines.
”Brother Xiao Chen...”
The girl was Murong Xian'er. Her appearance remained the same, but there were two more fluffy white fox ears on her head.
Xiao Chen's bones were cracking. He channeled True Qi to his palm and then slashed the chain. The chain made of steel was immediately broken. Murong Xian'er immediately went to his shoulder and cried.
Luo Shangyan was stunned in the distance. She didn't expect that Murong Xian'er was captured by the Widespread Wintriness Sect.
Xiao Chen patted her on the back and said softly, ”All right, it's okay now. I won't let anyone hurt you.” It was him that brought her out, but he failed to protect her. Xiao Chen felt very guilty now.
He had always had a special feeling for Murong Xian'er as if they knew each other thousands of years ago. He slowly turned his head and looked at Sikong Yun and others. Two icy arrows of eyes shot out in an instant. Everyone could not help shuddering.
He said in a low voice, ”You, how dare you!”
