Chapter 220 The child was given away
Wu Jin was so slapped by Xue Chongyu that he vomited a mouthful of blood. When he groggily opened his eyes, he saw Xue Lan smiling.
The young man's heart was filled with resentment:
What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?
After Xue Chongyu finished dealing with Wu Jin, he turned his longsword around and was about to put it against Xue Lan's neck.
But this time, the girl in red was somewhat displeased.
Xue Chongyu only saw a strange red shadow flash past him with a "whoosh" before flying towards the other side of Ghost Street at an extremely fast speed.
"Stop!" the girl shouted sharply, her sword, Ji Jing, humming as a transparent beam of light caught up with the red shadow that Xue Lan had transformed into in an instant.
The girl's lips curled up slightly, then her smile abruptly stopped.
When Xue Chongyu's incredibly sharp sword light touched the red shadow that Xue Lan had transformed into, it did not cleave Xue Lan in two as she had expected. Instead, it was enveloped by the light red shadow and dissipated directly into a burst of lightning.
As Xue Chongyu watched Xue Lan leave, he wanted to unleash another sword strike, but Wu Jin, who had slowly stood up, grabbed his wrist.
The young man's voice was hoarse: "Miss Chongyu, let's wait and see."
The girl pondered for a moment, then sheathed her sword and looked at Wu Jin, who was breathing heavily but not exhaling.
A gentle light shone from the girl's fingertips and slowly fell upon Wu Jin.
As the pain in his body began to subside, Wu Jin looked up at the girl who was healing him, but Xue Chongyu was no longer looking at him. Instead, she was looking at the two girls in red at the end of Ghost Street through the raging lightning in front of her.
Her voice was cold and calm: "Why are you looking at me? There's bound to be a battle of magic soon, so hurry up and heal your wounds."
Wu Jin obediently sat down cross-legged.
Xue Lan passed through the lightning and arrived in front of the inner demon. As soon as she stood on the ground, she saw the inner demon shrink its neck and take two steps back.
She walked forward with a strange smile on her face, the hem of her clothes swaying slowly like flames.
Her voice was eerily low, like the low, mournful sound of the wind before a mountain rain: "Don't hide, I can't bear to hit you."
The inner demon almost died laughing when she heard Xue Lan's words; a hint of mockery appeared in her icy blue eyes.
"That's how Lord Wolf is. Once someone touches his weak spot, he becomes ruthless and heartless."
The temperature around the two of them began to drop rapidly, and eventually even Xue Tong, who was busy holding up the magic core to attract lightning in the center of the lightning field, noticed it.
The little girl struggled to turn halfway through the Thunder Domain, looking at the two Wolf Lords who were at each other's throats, her voice filled with resentment.
"My two lords, one of you will save me, my hands are getting tired."
The inner demon's face instantly broke into a smile. She bypassed Xue Lan and went straight to the edge of the Thunder Domain, her face radiating a gentle smile: "I've come to save you!"
The moment she finished speaking, she waved her sleeve, and the blazing flames of her top-tier fire spirit root swept across the entire lightning domain, taking away all the ghosts that had not yet been annihilated by the lightning.
It seems that Xue Tong had a good relationship with the Heavenly Dao. After the vengeful spirits disappeared, the heavenly lightning only symbolically struck the demon core in her hand twice before stopping.
Xue Tong finally dared to put her hands down and move her wrists, then realized that the atmosphere here was strange.
She glanced at the inner demon that was almost touching her face, then at Xue Lan, who stood motionless not far away.
Xue Tong was in a real bind, feeling that she was facing the biggest crisis of her entire career in the system.
It was only one step away from being killed by its host.
After silently paying her respects to the seniors on the production line, the young girl put on a timid expression and, clutching the magic core in her hands, ran towards Xue Lan.
The inner demon's smile froze instantly. She grabbed Xue Tong's collar and demanded, "If it's not you, what are you doing?"
Where are you taking the magic core and magic soul that I painstakingly obtained?
Xue Tong glanced at her: "Give it to Xue Lan."
Enraged, he considered slapping her, but the girl glanced in Xue Lan's direction and suppressed her resentment.
Oh well, she'll devour me anyway.
Xue Tong looked at the inner demon with her bright, sparkling eyes, her expression seemingly asking her:
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince truly intend to defy the Emperor?"
The inner demon sighed and pretended to brush the dust off Xue Tong's clothes: "Walk slowly, don't fall."
Xue Tong smiled brightly, skipped over to Xue Lan, and held up what she was holding.
"Sister, let me tell you something. This is the demon core of the eldest son of the Demon God, and his demon soul is also imprisoned inside. I'm giving it to you."
Xue Lan's eyes were grayish-white: "I can't see."
Xue Tong said with a grin, "You're a spirit now, so you should be able to see."
Xue Lan clearly didn't want to talk to her, so the girl walked directly towards Xue Chongyu across Ghost Street. The inner demon followed behind her.
Inner Demon: It's not that I follow my heart, it's just that I really crave that demonic soul.
Xue Chongyu watched as Xue Lan slowly walked towards him, a look of wariness appearing on his face.
Her gaze first swept over Xue Lan in front of her, and then fell on the icy blue eyes of the girl in red behind her, unable to look away.
I seem to have seen it somewhere...
where is it?
Xue Lan sensed the girl's thoughts, turned her head slightly, and gave the inner demon a wink.
The inner demon understood immediately, its icy blue eyes turning back to Xue Lan's original pitch black, directly interrupting Xue Chongyu's association.
Xue Lan harbored no hostility towards the two young men before her. The underworld, now ravaged by the extermination of evil spirits, was even colder than before. A gust of cold wind swept through the group, and in the silence, only the rustling of clothes could be heard.
Xue Lan bowed deeply to Xue Chongyu: "I am very grateful to Fellow Daoist Wu and Miss Chongyu for their help in this matter. I hereby fulfill my promise."
With a flick of her sleeve, the girl conjured a white jade token in front of her, which then slowly flew toward Xue Chongyu.
Xue Chongyu, with one hand still on the hilt of his sword, raised his other hand to catch the token and discovered four large characters written on it:
Xuanhuang Grotto Heaven.
The young girl's voice was as gentle as a breeze: "The person Miss Chongyu is looking for is my fourth junior brother. The war at the front is intense, and he has been unable to break through to the Golden Core stage. In recent years, he has been staying in the sect and being taught by his teachers. Take my token and go to Ruoshui City near the Xuanhuang Sect. There is a Su's Wine Shop in the city. The elders of the Xuanhuang Sect's Mountain-Guarding Crane Clan come to this shop to drink on the first and fifteenth of each month. Show him the token then, and he will naturally lead you two into the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven."
Halfway through her sentence, the girl lowered her head thoughtfully.
"I almost forgot, my junior brother isn't just mine alone. I can be the master of Jiyuan Peak, but so can my senior uncle and grandmaster..."
So the girl took out a talisman from her sleeve and used magic to leave a wisp of her spiritual power inside.
"If my master makes things difficult for you two, you can show him this talisman. I'm sure he won't stop you."
Xue Chongyu caught the talisman paper. There were no fine runes on it, only a hastily written character "岚".
The girl put both items away and bowed to Xue Lan, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Xue."
Xue Lan nodded slightly, about to suggest they part ways, when Xue Tong tugged at her sleeve.
Xue Lan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Xue Tong's voice held a hint of disbelief: "You just sent Lian Chuan away so casually? You raised him for so many years. You didn't even write a farewell letter?"
Xue Lan paused for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "I won't write it."
Without a single farewell gift, without a single word, this heartless senior sister simply gave away the child she had raised for three to five years.
Just like a thousand years ago, she released the little tiger she loved so much.
Xue Tong heard Xue Lan's extremely sorrowful voice: "The path of cultivation is long and arduous, spanning thousands of years... Only by making a promise can one have no regrets, until one reaches the Great Dao."
After saying this to Xue Tong, Xue Lan bowed again to Xue Chongyu and Wu Jin:
"Farewell, gentlemen."
