At this moment, Sikong Yun walked over and sighed. "Alas, you must not hurt the relationship between fellow sects. You can keep quarreling, and it will not help. The most important thing now is to make concerted efforts to deal with the people of the Devil"s Practice. At noon tomorrow, I will behead the demonic woman in front of all heroes in the world to comfort the two pa.s.sed heroes."
All this point, people remembered his demon-slaying event. No one cared about this before. But after this matter, everyone hated the people of the Devil"s Practice. Many people had raised their fists to echo as if they were venting their anger to the demonic woman.
Finally, Sikong Yun had the attention of people. He was so delighted and said to Xiaoyue, "Why don"t we let Master Xiaoyue hold the demon-slaying event tomorrow?"
Xiaoyue was depressed now because she did not get the Earth Spiritual Meridian this time. She did not care about the event at all. Besides, she was extremely worried about one thing. According to the words of Leng Ningfeng, Mu Luo learned the secret of her sect from a man in the Skygale Sect who died a thousand years ago.
She had a faint premonition that something bad was about to happen. At the moment, she had to hurry back to the Thousand Feathers Sect to tell her master about it. When she was about to refuse, the crowd shouted loudly together. "Master Xiaoyue, please hold the demon-slaying event and kill all demons in the world!"
Facing the rising mood, it was not good for her to refuse now. She thought one day of delay was just fine, so she said in a clear voice, "Then I"ll take it. Tomorrow, I will hold the demon-slaying event."
The crowd shouted approval loudly. Xiao Chen completely did not care about the event. He walked to Yu Yifeng and whispered, "Brother Yifeng, do you want to stay?"
Yu Yifeng nodded and whispered, "It"s not a good time to leave. Let"s go together after tomorrow."
Xiao Chen thought it would be better to leave together since they came together, but it seemed not good to leave himself. So, he nodded and said, "Okay."
That night, Sikong Yun arranged the accommodation. The Jade Qing Sect disciples lived in a small yard. At the dead of night, Xiao Chen opened the door and walked out. The wind was breezing, the moon was clear, and the shades of the trees crossed on the ground. A late night in autumn was so quiet.
Too many things had happened recently. Xiao Chen could not fall asleep. He wanted to take out the Nine-heaven Jade Pendant and play a song, but he was afraid of disturbing others to rest. So, he paced back and forth in the courtyard for a while. Suddenly, there was a gentle sound of footsteps outside the courtyard. His Divine Sense was stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if the sound was subtle, he could hear it clearly. He thought, "Who is out there at such a late night?"
He listened attentively and heard two people talking nearby. One people said, "The demonic woman is so beautiful. No one has more spirit energy than her. Isn"t it a pity to kill her like this?"
The other one said, "What? You have pity on her and want to let her go?"
The previous man said, "Give me one hundred b.a.l.l.s and I still dare not do it. What is the background of the demonic woman? The Ten-square Universe Formation jointly set by the four elders could not trap her. She nearly escaped last month."
The other man quipped, "Tut-tut. I"m sure that our master can"t even escape from the Ten-square Universe Formation set by the four elders. Could it be that our master was too old and had a poor sight which mistook a fairy as a demonic woman? Remember last time? Master insisted that the concubine newly accepted by Ministry Councilor Zhang was transformed from a fox demon. Eventually, he went to the emperor to solve the issue and embarra.s.sed himself."
"Poof... OK, hurry back and send a message to the Skygale Sect. It"s been a long night of trouble. I am exhausted."
The two men"s footsteps faded away. Xiao Chen looked dignified. He heard them talking about fairy and demonic woman. Did they mean the demonic woman to be killed tomorrow? And the two of them said that they would send a message to the Skygale Sect. Would the Skygale Sect members come tomorrow?
Xiao Chen didn"t know what happened after the death of Tiangu Zi. If they had found out it was related to him, there might be a fierce battle tomorrow.
But today, he would not fear anyone again, even Yunya Zi, the last Sect Leader of the Skygale Sect.
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 Wuw.a.n.g 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!"
