Chapter 394 Loss of Fighting Spirit
A black shadow flashed swiftly through the Qin soldiers. Before they could react, the shadow vanished from their sight. Meanwhile, Chi Lian struggled in Luo Chen's arms.
At this moment, after feeling Chi Lian struggling in his arms, Luo Chen struck her neck with a palm and then quickly flew towards the horizon. Bai Feng and Wei Zhuang, seeing this, were immediately alarmed. Wei Zhuang hurriedly stood up from the ground...
He wanted to rush out. But just as Wei Zhuang stood up to chase after Luo Chen, he felt a dull pain in his chest. Whenever he used his internal energy, he felt as if his entire body had lost connection with it. At this moment, Bai Feng, seeing this, also grabbed the person in front of him...
After repelling the Qin soldiers, Bai Feng grabbed Wei Zhuang and vanished in a flash. Bai Feng led Wei Zhuang a long way before finally stopping. Beside a lake, Bai Feng and Wei Zhuang lay down on a large rock to rest. Wei Zhuang then slowly walked to the lakeside and began to look around.
Covered in blood, Wei Zhuang saw his disheveled state in the water and couldn't help but sigh. The once spirited Wei Zhuang had never imagined that an accident would reduce him to a homeless dog. At that moment, Bai Feng, seeing Wei Zhuang's current state, felt as if he were a broken statue.
The old man, now in his twilight years, had lost all will to fight.
Bai Feng quickly walked to Wei Zhuang's side, pulled him up, and angrily roared at him:
"Sect Leader, you must pull yourself together! Chi Lian is still waiting for us to rescue her! We haven't lost yet; we still have a large number of disciples outside the sect. As long as we pull ourselves together, we will definitely succeed!"
Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but mutter to himself, calmly saying:
"Get back on your feet? I didn't even get a good look at him before he injured me. Get back on your feet? Ha! Tell me how I'm supposed to get back on my feet!" As Wei Zhuang said this, he grabbed Bai Feng's shoulder, staring at her maniacally. Bai Feng, caught off guard by the blow, didn't know what to say next and continued talking to Wei Zhuang.
His body slowly turned around.
As Bai Feng prepared to leave, she calmly turned her head and said to Wei Zhuang:
"I won't give up. I must go and save Chi Lian. Then I'll go find Mo Yu Qilin and Gu Niang. I won't give up!"
As Bai Feng finished speaking, she leaped onto a group of white birds and flew rapidly toward the horizon. When Wei Zhuang saw Bai Feng leave, his expression returned to its usual indifference, and he began to wander aimlessly.
At this moment, after bringing Chi Lian back to the palace, Luo Chen threw her directly onto the bed. Just then, Chi Lian's eyes slowly opened, and when she saw Luo Chen standing in front of her, she hurriedly tried to sit up from the bed.
Upon seeing this, Luo Chen swiftly moved and pressed her pressure points. Immediately, Chi Lian, realizing she couldn't move, cried out in alarm:
"Who exactly are you? Why are you trapping me!" Upon hearing Chi Lian's words, Luo Chen smiled slightly and slowly took out an exquisite jade bottle from his hand. At that moment, when Chi Lian saw the smile on Luo Chen's face, a thought unconsciously arose in her heart.
The cold and dampness.
Luo Chen slowly walked towards Chi Lian with the bottle in his hand. When Chi Lian saw this, her eyes gradually filled with terror, and she kept shouting loudly at Luo Chen:
"Get away from me! What do you want?!" Chi Lian shouted repeatedly, trying to break free of the restraints on her body, watching as Luo Chen slowly approached her. Seeing this, Chi Lian grew increasingly anxious, her eyes filled with terror as she looked at the weapon in Luo Chen's hand...
Jade bottle.
As Luo Chen approached Chi Lian, he slowly uncorked the jade bottle and then pried open Chi Lian's mouth with one hand. As Chi Lian's mouth opened, Luo Chen quickly poured the Demon King's blood from his hand into her mouth.
As Chi Lian swallowed the Demon King's blood, the distinctive system voice rang out rapidly in Luo Chen's mind:
"Ding, Chi Lian has become the host's servant."
Servant's name: Chi Lian.
"Items obtained: Crimson Serpent Sword, Fire Charm Technique, Heartbreak Powder..."
"Servant loyalty: 3."
"..." When Luo Chen saw that Chi Lian's loyalty was only three points, he was extremely shocked. At that moment, as Chi Lian drank the drop of Demon King's blood, her mind went blank for a moment, and then a smug look appeared in her eyes...
Looking at Luo Chen, her eyes were full of alluring charm. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen immediately sensed something was amiss. Logically, with Chi Lian's loyalty at only three points, this shouldn't have happened. The only explanation was that Chi Lian was doing it intentionally, but when Luo Chen thought of this…
At that moment, even more doubts arose in Luo Chen's mind. If Chi Lian did this intentionally, what was her purpose? To kill me? But why didn't she suffer the backlash from the system? Thinking about this, Luo Chen felt his head was about to explode, so he simply stopped thinking and instead put on a playful smile.
She walked towards Chi Lian. When Chi Lian saw Luo Chen approaching, the allure in her eyes intensified, and she wrapped her delicate, alabaster arms around Luo Chen's neck, gently embracing him.
Chapter 395 The Fiery Red Serpent
After wrapping her arms around Luo Chen's neck, Chi Lian slowly brought her face closer, her fiery red lips gently brushing against Luo Chen's ear, breathing hot breath into his ear. Luo Chen, seemingly enjoying the sensation, remained vigilant, wanting to see what Chi Lian was up to. Just as Chi Lian's lips were about to touch Luo Chen's, a sudden, painful howl rang out from her.
She cried out. Seeing this, Luo Chen's face gradually showed a smile. Chi Lian was skilled in charm and poison arts; presumably, her lips were smeared with excruciating pain. When she was about to kiss him, the system judged that she intended to harm the host. That's why this happened.
Backlash.
Chi Lian was now clutching her head in agony, howling in pain on the bed. Just moments before, she had felt as if her head was about to explode. Seeing this, Luo Chen sneered at Chi Lian and said:
"This backlash must be unbearable! So you'll just have to be my slave obediently! Haha."
At this moment, after Chi Lian felt that the pain in her head had subsided, she struggled to sit up from the bed and weakly asked Luo Chen:
"What on earth did you feed me?! Why am I in so much pain?!"
Upon hearing Chi Lian's words, Luo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then said to Chi Lian:
"Don't worry, the food I give you is of course the best, so as long as you don't disobey my orders, you won't feel any pain at all!"
When Chi Lian heard this, she immediately roared at Luo Chen:
"You're dreaming! I'm going to kill you!"
After Chi Lian finished speaking, she quickly drew her Crimson Serpent Sword from her waist and was about to strike Luo Chen. At this moment, Luo Chen, having caught Chi Lian's hand, smiled even more broadly. Just as Chi Lian was about to strike Luo Chen with her sword, the exploding sound in her mind rang out again. In agony, Chi Lian threw her sword to the ground and began clutching her hands...
Clutching his head, he howled in agony on the bed. Seeing this, Luo Chen slowly picked up the Crimson Serpent Sword from the ground and quickly walked towards Crimson Serpent. He saw that Crimson Serpent's fiery red outfit was completely soaked with cold sweat from his pain. And Crimson Serpent's alluring figure caught Luo Chen's eye.
The image of Chi Lian appeared before him. Upon seeing Chi Lian's curvaceous figure, Luo Chen felt a surge of adrenaline. Without hesitation, he pounced on Chi Lian from the platform. Like a hungry tiger, Luo Chen relentlessly attacked Chi Lian's entire body.
The clothes were pulled down.
Immediately, shouts echoed throughout the house. Meanwhile, in Luo Chen's mind, the system's crisp notification sound gradually alerted him:
"Ding, the servant's loyalty has increased by two points."
"Ding, the servant's loyalty has increased by one point."
"Ding, the servant's loyalty has increased by three points."
"..." At this moment, Luo Chen was diligently increasing the loyalty of his servants on the platform, while Bai Feng quickly summoned Mo Yu Qilin and Gu Niang to discuss the matter together. When they heard that Ju San Liu Sha had been attacked by Qin soldiers, they were immediately filled with anger.
He became angry and said to Bai Feng:
"We must avenge this! We've decided we can't give up now!"
At this moment, when Mo Yu Qilin said this, he hurriedly asked Bai Feng:
"By the way, where is the sect leader?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng's face gradually showed anger, and she angrily said to the black jade unicorn:
"Sect Master, he has lost faith in revenge and has decided to give up!"
When Mo Yu Qilin and Gu Niang heard this, they looked at Bai Feng in shock and said to him in surprise:
"Why is this happening? The sect leader's beliefs should not be so easily broken!"
After hearing their words, Bai Feng sighed helplessly and said to them:
"Because the sect leader encountered a very difficult opponent, and before he could even see what the opponent looked like, he was injured!"
Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, a hint of hesitation appeared in their eyes. If what Bai Feng said was true, there would be no suspense if they went; the only outcome for them would be certain death.
Then, the black jade unicorn and the Gu woman hesitated and said to Bai Feng:
"Bai Feng! If you ask us, let's think about this matter more carefully! After all, we're outnumbered and outmatched right now!"
Just as Bai Feng was about to get angry after hearing Mo Yu Qilin's words, Gu Niang seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Bai Feng with delight:
"By the way, we can use the power of the Xi clan to take revenge. What do you think? They are officials in the court, which will make it easier for us to investigate who is behind this. We can also go and take revenge on Luo Chen!"
As Gu Niang spoke, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes. Bai Feng, hearing Gu Niang's words, asked her in confusion:
"Luo Chen? Who is he?"
Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, Gu Niang's eyes flashed with a ruthless glint, and she coldly explained to Bai Feng:
"That Luo Chen is the new emperor of the Qin Dynasty, and the attack on our Jusan Liusha was on his orders."
Upon hearing Gu Niang's words, Bai Feng's face also turned fierce, and he muttered to himself:
"Luo Chen, I will make you pay for this in blood!"
Meanwhile, a voice was heard outside Luo Chen's room.
"Your Majesty, I have important matters to report!"
Upon hearing the commotion outside, Luo Chen, who was diligently working, loudly addressed Li Si outside the door: "Alright, I understand, you may leave!"
Chapter 396 Negotiating Cooperation
When Li Si heard Luo Chen's words outside the door, he sighed helplessly and waited. An hour later, Luo Chen slowly emerged from his room. Upon seeing Luo Chen finally come out, Li Si's face showed anxiety...
He said urgently to Luo Chen:
"Your Majesty, the rebels from the Gathering Sands have escaped!"
Upon hearing Li Si's words, Luo Chen's face also showed anger, and he shouted loudly at Li Si:
"I'm giving you three days. If you can't finish, you'd better prepare your own coffins!"
When Luo Chen finished speaking, he quickly left. Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Li Si collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at Luo Chen and saying:
"My minister obeys."
Meanwhile, in Zhao Gao's residence, the Grand Master of Fate was also recounting the situation of the Gathering and Scattering Sands to Donghuang Taiyi. After listening to the Grand Master of Fate's words, Donghuang Taiyi sighed helplessly and said to him:
"So be it! Things have come to this, we can only think of another way." Just then, as Donghuang Taiyi said this, a strange sound rang out from outside the door, followed by a large number of insects crawling out from the cracks beside it. Upon seeing this, Donghuang Taiyi hurriedly stood up from his seat and shouted loudly...
A voice called out from the side:
"Who exactly are you! Don't try to play tricks on me."
As Donghuang Taiyi spoke, a hoarse laugh rang out from outside the door, followed by Gu Niang gradually emerging from the stone gate. Upon seeing Gu Niang, Da Siming asked in confusion:
"Gu Niang? No need to overthink it, the Jade Qilin is here too!" At this moment, as the Grand Commander spoke, a guard standing beside them suddenly let out a grating laugh, then slowly walked to the Gu Niang's side, grinning at the Grand Commander and Donghuang Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi, seeing the two of them, looked at him with a puzzled expression.
They said:
"What do you mean by coming here to play tricks instead of completing your own tasks?"
At this moment, after hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Gu Niang and Mo Yu Qilin also stepped forward and said to Donghuang Taiyi:
"Donghuang, we have no ill intentions in coming here. As you know, our Jusanliusha were attacked by Qin soldiers. We will certainly complete the task you gave us. However, we have come here hoping to get your help to avenge us."
Upon hearing their words, Donghuang Taiyi burst into laughter, then said disdainfully to the two of them:
"Why should I help you!"
When Gu Niang heard Donghuang Taiyi's words, she showed no dissatisfaction. Instead, she continued, "Rest assured, after this is accomplished, we will all be completely loyal to you. We simply want to avenge our brothers who died in the Quicksand Gang! And you, Donghuang, will then have all our assassins to do some shady things for you. Isn't this a wonderful outcome?"
Is it really that good?
Upon hearing Gu Niang's words, Donghuang Taiyi began to ponder. After a while, he addressed the two of them:
"Sure, I can agree to your demands, but first you must complete the task I've assigned you!" With a burst of laughter, the cooperation concluded successfully. Gu Niang and Mo Yu Qilin quickly emerged from Zhao Gao's residence. Meanwhile, Luo Chen, having raised Chi Lian's loyalty to ten, released her.
Luo Chen followed quietly behind Chi Lian. His purpose was to lure Chi Lian out of the rest of the Gathering Sands. At that moment, a white bird swiftly flew overhead. When Luo Chen saw the white bird above Chi Lian, a smile appeared on his face.
She emerged. The white bird swept past the crimson dragon's head and vanished swiftly into the horizon. A moment later, the white bird reappeared in Bai Feng's hand. When Bai Feng saw the crimson dragon's reflection in the white bird's eyes, her heart filled with joy.
He stood up and hurriedly said to the white bird:
"Where did you see the Crimson Serpent? Take me there quickly!" Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, the white bird fluttered a few times and then quickly flew away from Bai Feng's hand. Seeing this, Bai Feng hurriedly tried to follow. At that moment, the Jade Qilin and the Gu Maiden appeared before Bai Feng. When they saw Bai Feng preparing to leave...
As they opened it, they hurriedly shouted:
"Bai Feng, where are you planning to go?"
Upon hearing their words, Bai Feng happily addressed them, saying:
"My white bird has spotted the Crimson Serpent; I'm going to find her now!"
When Bai Feng finished speaking, he hurriedly followed. Mo Yu Qilin and Gu Niang exchanged glances, nodded, and then followed as well. At this moment, Bai Feng and the others, following the white bird, quickly arrived at the place where Chi Lian had appeared.
When Bai Feng and the other two landed on the ground, they looked around in confusion. The black jade unicorn cautiously spoke to Bai Feng:
"Did your white bird actually see Chi Lian? Why haven't we seen any sign of her since we got here? Could we have fallen into a trap? Everyone, be careful!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Niang hurriedly released the Gu worms from her sleeve to survey their surroundings. At that moment, Chi Lian's uniquely alluring figure also appeared before them.
When Bai Feng saw the red serpent ahead, he was overjoyed and hurriedly tried to run towards it. At that moment, Gu Niang quickly grabbed Bai Feng's arm and said to him with suspicion, "Don't go yet, something seems wrong!"
Chapter 397 The Truth Revealed
Upon hearing Gu Niang's words, Bai Feng looked up in confusion and saw an unfamiliar figure behind Chi Lian. That figure was none other than Luo Chen. As Luo Chen and Chi Lian slowly approached, Bai Feng finally recognized Luo Chen.
