On the other hand...
Fang Wan woke up slowly. When she saw her juniors and seniors looking at her, the memories before she fainted returned instantly.
The Yi Xie sword...
She glanced at her side. The Yi Xie sword was there.
âSenior Brother Ling,â Fang Wan called weakly.
Ling Lie hugged his sword and said with an indifferent face, âYou are fine. That is good.â
Fang Wan said, âSenior Brother Ling, July...â
Ling Lie interrupted her. âJunior Sister Fang Wan, do you have anything to say about the Yi Xie sword?â
Fang Wanâs heart dropped.
What could she say?
Fang Wan started thinking of a solution.
Fang Wan sat up with some effort. She looked at them with remorse. âSenior Brother Ling, everyone. I... I am sorry that I lied. The Yi Xie sword has always been with me. I am afraid that the sect will be implicated if this news is spread. I am too weak to protect the sword so I donât dare to tell anyone.â
The disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect had mixed feelings so no one said anything for a while.
âSenior Sister Fang Wan, there is nothing wrong with your decision. After all, the Yi Xie sword is a troublesome item...â
Fang Wanâs supporter broke the silence and spoke up for her.
âYes, Senior Sister Fang Wan, you were right.â
âYou are doing this for the sect.â
People started following along.
Very soon, more people started speaking up for Fang Wan.
âI am sorry, everyone.â
Fang Wan kept apologizing sincerely. Her remorse could be felt.
However, she just wanted to get one idea acrossâshe made the decision with the sect in mind.
âSince the Yi Xie sword is with you, why is it rumored that July has it?â
Not everyone spoke up for her.
The person who said this was a young man standing behind Ling Lie.
âI... I donât know.â Fang Wan shook her head absentmindedly. âI was afraid that people would harm the sect if they knew I had the Yi Xie sword so I didnât tell anyone.â
The young man sneered. âIf you didnât tell anyone, how did people know that the Yi Xie sword had appeared?â
No one would know what treasures appeared in the hidden world if the person didnât say it.
If Fang Wan didnât tell anyone that she took the Yi Xie sword, how did the rumors of July having the Yi Xie sword spread?
The young man looked at Ling Lie. âSenior Brother, I think that there is a reason why Junior Sister Fang Wan was targeted by July.â
âSenior Brother Liao, why are you saying his? How did I offend you? I really donât know how the rumors started. I canât go and admit...â
She looked wronged.
Her words made people think that Fang Wan had offended the young man before and that was why he doubted her.
The young man rolled his eyes. âWhy is July targeting you then?â
When they were in the weird place under the cliff, they could tell that the demonic cultivator was targeting Fang Wan.
If Fang Wan didnât do anything, why was she targeted?
Fang Wan didnât know how to refute him.
âWe will wait for Master to come to settle this issue.â Ling Lie stopped them from arguing and pushed the problem to his master.
...
The three sects and six clans rushed over the moment they got the message.
The courtyard got even more crowded. In the end, only the main leaders and the disciples guarding the array stayed in the courtyard. The rest stayed outside.
Ciu Luiâerâs abdomen had gotten bigger. She looked like she was going to give birth soon.
However, no one knew the exact time of birth.
After all, this was not a normal child.
The three sects and six clans discussed for a while. Half of them agreed to kill the demon king while it was still in the womb.
If they waited for him to be born, there was no knowing what would happen.
But, that meant that they had to kill Ciu Luiâer.
The other half wanted to save Ciu Luiâer. They felt that she shouldnât be sacrificed just because she got pregnant with the demon king.
Ciu Luiâer seemed to have felt their intention to kill her and laid on the ground in fear. She pleaded with them to save her.
Everyone felt complicated.
Ming Shu was not interested in their discussion. She only knew that they agreed to kill Ciu Luiâer along with the demon king.
Since the decision was made, the three sects and six clans started setting up the array.
Killing the demon king was not as easy as killing Ciu Luiâer and stabbing her abdomen.
Ming Shu squatted outside the courtyard. She was chased out because the people from the three sects and six clans didnât want any outsiders disturbing them.
As the people inside set up the array, Chun Hua rushed over leading a huge bunch of Cui family members.
âYoung Miss, are you inside? Young Miss... let us go in. I know that Young Miss is inside. What are you all trying to do to her!â
âLiuâer, are you inside?â
âWhat are you all trying to do to Liuâer. Give her back to us.â
âYoung Miss, can you hear us? I am Chun Hua! Stop blocking us. Let us go in. Our young miss is inside!â
The people arrived fiercely and there was a lot of them. Since they were people from the Cui family, the disciples outside didnât know if they should stop them or not.
There was arrays set up outside the alley so the Cui family took a lot of time to get in.
There was a problem here.
Since there were arrays outside the alley, who told the Cui family that Ciu Luiâer was here?
And these people... were not humans at all.
âMiss July, why are you so happy?â Chang Sheng had came to her side silently.
Ming Shu stuffed some pastries into her mouth. âA good show is coming.â
It is good to be lively!
She liked it.
Chang Sheng looked at the Cui family that was pushing and shouting.
Because of the noise outside, Ciu Luiâer was desperately trying to get out of the array.
The Cui family got furious when they heard Ciu Luiâerâs voice and decided to take action.
No matter how powerful the cultivators from the three sects and six clans were, they couldnât do anything to normal people.
The Cui family arrived at the door of the courtyard.
âWhat are you all trying to do to Liuâer? Give her back to me!â
âSave Young Miss!â
Blood splattered onto the door of the courtyard. The disciple that got stabbed had a look of disbelief on his face.
âYou...â
The man that was dressed up like a servant boy retrieved the sword from the disciples body and licked the blood on his hand. He said in a cold voice, âKill them!â
The Cui family members that were shouting Ciu Luiâerâs name just now started attacking the disciples around them.
âThe array is broken!â
Someone shouted this in shock.
The next moment, this person was killed.
Numerous demons appeared from all directions. The entire alley was filled with demonic aura.
Some stupid demons tried to attack Ming Shu too.
The Lianjing sword changed into a thin sword that had lighting bolts all around it. If any demons dared to come near Ming Shu, it would chop the demon in half.
Their target was the demon king in the courtyard. Ming Shu was standing outside and eating her snacks casually. She looked like an outsider.
The demons decided that...
They would let her go!
They were not afraid of the frightening sword at all.
Chang Sheng sighed. âOnce this matter is concluded, I will need to find another house.â
Ming Shu: â...â There are so many psychopaths around me.
âHere you go!â
The voice of the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect suddenly sounded in the courtyard. The next moment, Ming Shu saw the young lord of the Qian Yuan Sect flying out from the courtyard.
He flew past a few demons.
Ming Shu: â...â That is his father!
