Chapter 435 - Hair in the Day, Snow in the Night (2/2)

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen walked slowly to the valley. When he arrived there, he saw some people exercising and meditating, and some others arguing. When they noticed Xiao Chen was back, they all turned their heads.

They were dumbstruck by the white hair of Xiao Chen and the girl in his arms. After all, Xiao Chen was safe and sound a moment ago.

“Xue’er!” Yanluo screamed and ran towards her. But Xiao Chen moved his body to one side, preventing anyone from touching Li Muxue. He said without emotion, “She is dead.”

Disciples of the Jade Qing Sect were startled and Yanluo reacted as if she was struck by thunder. She covered her forehead with her hand and hobbled. Zi Mo immediately supported her up. “Junior Sister, don’t worry!” Then he stared at Xiao Chen. “Don’t talk about nonsense, you brat!”

Xiao Chen didn’t reply but walked forward instead. He was angry because of what Yanluo said when she took Li Muxue away from Tianyuan City. “From now on, you have nothing to do with her!”

Who would have thought that was the last time they saw each other.

Now he was like a powder keg that would explode when touched. He would hurt anyone who wanted to harm him as well as anyone who wanted to protect him.

When he approached the crowd, Xiao Chen looked at the people who were surrounding Su Lianyue and said nonchalantly, “Let her go.” Then he walked towards a vacant shade.

His tone was so cold that everyone shivered. Some people from the Orthodox Path didn’t allow Su Lianyue to leave because they wanted the information about Devils’ sects from her.

Su Lianyue looked at the white figure of Xiao Chen, who was walking away. Maybe the reason why she looked for Lu Xinghe was she didn’t want to owe him. In this case, she would not feel sorry when they had to fight one day.

As he arrived at the shade, Xiao Chen didn’t respond to the crowd anymore. He gently touched the white hair on Li Muxue’s temples and recalled the past. He recalled their first meeting in Lingtai Town. He could still hear their chats in the past. Smiles began to show up on his face, but his eyes were turning red.

Luo Shangyan and other people knew he wanted to be alone so they didn’t disturb him. At the same time, Tianyi Zi, the leader of Kunlun Sect was transferring True Energy to Yu Yifeng’s body, but Yu Yifeng could not wake up either. Qingyu’s eyes had already turned red.

Another fight started in the crowd of Orthodox Path. Su Lianyue sneered. “I got you out of danger. But now you are not showing gratitude and won’t let me go? Is this how you define the Orthodox Path?”

Surrounded by many disciples of Cultivator’s Sect, she was not scared and kept arguing with them. Had a female disciple of Cultivator’s Sect been surrounded by the Devils’ sects, she would have been scared to death.

After hearing her words, many of them felt sorry. Perfected Immortal Feng Lan cleared his throat and said sternly, “We really appreciate your help today, but after all, we are on different paths. We noticed some activities of Devils’ sects nearby the other day, so we were hoping you could inform us of them so that we could take some precautions.”

The overtone was they were afraid of the ambush of Devils’ sects. Now disciples of Orthodox Path were badly injured and Tianyi Zi could not accompany them all the time. If attacked by powerful disciples of Devils’ sects, none of them could live.

Su Lianyue smiled lightly. “I have been working alone for three months. I don’t know what you are talking about, senior Feng Lan.”

“You demonic woman! Stop pretending!”

Suddenly someone shouted and a red figure stood in front of Su Lianyue. That man’s face was full of anger. His eyes were as bright as lightning. His robe was moving even without wind. That was Qi Heng from the Order of the Divine Fire.

Qi Heng glared at her and snapped, “Demonic woman! Let me ask you. Three months ago, Danyang Zi, my Senior Brother, entered this mountain and was poisoned at night. That was the Three Corpses Poison from your Fort Raksasa. Someone saw you corporate with Seven Killings from Bloodied Fiend Sect, Yi Yeqiu from Dark Shadow Hall and a man wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat! How can you defend yourself?”

People were all astounded. So Danyang Zi was really killed by these people. Luo Shangyan also put on a long face. Now everyone in Order of the Divine Fire was indignant, but Su Lianyue was still cool and collected. She smiled. “We have fought for thousands of years. What else should I do when I saw him? Dine and wine him? Why are you making a fuss? I’m leaving now. Stay clear of me. Remember, it was I who got you out of danger today. If you want to repay me with animosity, be my guest!”

After she said that, no one attacked her. Had it been in another situation, they would have killed her right away. But now that she had helped them, they would be looked down upon by the world if they killed her.

Qi Heng moved his body and stopped her once again, his eyes blazing with hate. He lowered his voice and said, “I’ll ask you again. Who was the man wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat?”

The desire to kill permeated the place. Su Lianyue finally changed her face. No one was talking. Even the winds stopped howling. Out of the blue, someone said curtly, “It was me. So what.”

People were startled. They turned around and saw Xiao Chen, whose eyes were glazing. All his hair had turned white and was floating behind his shoulder, making him look all the scarier. Qi Heng had known it was him. All this drama was to let the Orthodox Path know that he was in cahoots with Devils’ sects and had killed seniors of the Cultivator’s Sect.

Su Lianyue chuckled. “Now if you’ll excuse me!” When she was about to leave, Qi Heng snapped, “Don’t you go!” Then he hit her with a palm that caused a gale. He didn’t intend to let her live.

People were astonished. However, in the wake of a howl of the wind, Qi Heng screamed out. There was a bloody hole in his palm and black blood kept oozing out.

Scared at the sight of it, the crowd retreated. Qi Heng immediately hit several acupuncture points on his arm. Then he saw a 10cm long icy silver needle stuck into the ground in front of him.

The silver needle was shiny under sunlight but it exuded coldness. When she saw the needle, Su Lianyue’s face became as pale as a paper.
