Chapter 314: The Immortal Venerable Falls to Demonic Ways 43
Su Yan looked at the challenge letter for a long time before raising her head to Du Lao’er.
"What treasure from Qingyu Mountain? Who is Liang Yunyue?"
Shocked for a moment, Du Lao’er then expressed exasperation.
"No wonder you’ve received a challenge letter; you deserve it! You’re so indulged in your male pet every day, very likely he has been sent by them to bewitch you."
There was a tumult outside, the entire Cultivation World was unanimously hostile, ready to launch a joint attack, but the protagonist was completely unaware.
Following this, Du Lao’er explained.
"A month ago, the treasure of Qingyu Mountain’s grandmaster was stolen, and the Peak Master, Liang Yunyue, was murdered, her Golden Core extracted. Liang Yunyue’s cousin, Liang Lanyi, testified that she saw with her own eyes that the one who stole the treasure and murdered Liang Yunyue was you."
Clutching the challenge letter, Su Yan pondered for a long time.
"So, they are looking for me to settle this matter?"
Du Lao’er humphed, emphasizing every word.
"It’s not about settling matters, it’s about your life."
This incident was just a spark that led the Sect Leader of Qingyu Mountain to order all cultivators to gather and, three days later, head to Guan Ning Valley to execute the Demon Sect Leader right there and then.
Even if Su Yan didn’t show up, they wouldn’t let her go.
A big battle was inevitable sooner or later.
Holding the challenge letter, Su Yan spoke out.
"What if this treasure wasn’t stolen by me? What if I didn’t kill that person?"
Du Lao’er laughed,
"Are you joking?"
Not even Du Lao’er believed those words.
It seemed Su Yan’s brutal nature had been ingrained for too long, while Pure Cultivation has always prided itself on justice and fairness.
Which way the scale tipped was quite evident.
Even if this was completely fabricated.
But the entire Cultivation World, both Pure Cultivators and Demon Cultivators, had already decided that Su Yan was responsible.
After finishing his laughter, Du Lao’er looked seriously at Su Yan.
His eyelid twitched.
"Really not you?"
Su Yan shook her head.
Du Lao’er fell silent.
Then, he bent down and patted Su Yan’s shoulder.
"What do you plan to do about this?"
Su Yan thought carefully.
Well, Xiao Hua once said that the original body would face the scourge of the entire Cultivation World. Could this be that time?
While thinking, she said,
"Go and see."
Du Lao’er nodded again, contemplative,
"Where did you put the key to the Treasure Vault?"
"Huh?"
"A country cannot exist a day without a king; the Demon Sect cannot exist a day without a Sect Hierarch. If you die in Guan Ning Valley, I will take good care of the Demon Sect Leader position for you; and I will also keep your Treasure Vault safe. Give me the key now; in case you die, then no one could open the doors of your Treasure Vault, right?"
He was methodically arranging her affairs for after her death.
Then, suddenly remembering something,
"Oh right, that favorite male pet of yours, when you die, I have to scrutinize what exactly has fascinated you so much..."
As he spoke, he patted Su Yan’s arm as a form of comfort.
At this moment, Feng Yu, dressed in green clothes, appeared by the lakeside with a food basket in hand.
His expression went through a swift and unpredictable change.
Raising his hand, he covered the area over his heart.
His cultivation had long reached a bottleneck.
He should have entered seclusion to break through that bottleneck and ascend to the next level months ago.
Yet he delayed it due to the complication Su Yan presented.
Now, his power had begun showing signs of backlash; it seems he could not delay entering seclusion any longer.
Du Lao’er glanced up and spotted Feng Yu; he had initially intended to be even more intimate with Su Yan to provoke this male pet.
However, unexpectedly, while saying this, Su Yan suddenly raised her hand and launched an attack.
