The Prodigal Disciple of Mount Hua: Seizing All Opportunities

Chapter 132 Murder

Shili Slope.

There is an abandoned mountain god temple here.

It was also a stronghold of the Sun Moon Cult outside Hengyang City.

Chen Qianyang led the group, stumbling and staggering, inside.

A fire was burning inside the temple, and a little girl dressed in green was anxiously looking out the door.

It was Qu Feiyan.

Upon seeing Chen Qianyang and his group, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly came to greet them.

"Brother Chen!" Qu Feiyan's eyes welled up with tears at the sight of everyone's disheveled state. "Where's my grandfather?"

"Feifei, I'm fine!" Qu Yang, supported by someone, slowly walked forward.

The battles along the way had left even a master like Qu Yang exhausted, not to mention the serious injuries he was carrying.

"Grandpa, what happened? Didn't the Holy Maiden say..." Qu Feiyan looked back and found that only about ten people remained: "Where's Eunuch Liu?"

Everyone fell silent.

The child who had been rescued by Chen Qianyang burst into tears upon hearing these words.

Qu Feiyan swayed slightly. As intelligent as she was, even without anyone saying anything, she could guess most of what was going on from the situation.

"Grandpa, please don't..." Qu Feiyan knew Liu Zhengfeng's position in her grandfather's heart and wanted to say something to comfort him.

"I'm fine, but I'm still in danger. By the way, where's the Holy Maiden? Isn't she with you?" Qu Yang held a very high position in the Demonic Sect, and the remaining followers obviously centered around him.

Although I feel utterly hopeless at this moment, I must still do my best to lead these people out of here.

Chen Qianyang leaned against a pillar, panting heavily.

Taking that palm strike from Ding Mian just now only made his injuries worse.

For now, the only option is to activate the Nine Yin Manual and hurry up and heal.

Fortunately, the Nine Yin Manual is particularly good at healing.

Upon hearing Qu Yang's question, his brows furrowed.

Yes, what about Ren Yingying?

According to the Demonic Sect's plan, Ren Yingying should have been secretly providing support.

Given the methods of the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult, it's impossible that she would just send a little girl to wait here idly.

Qu Feiyan wiped away her tears, her face turning deathly pale.

"The Holy Maiden, the Holy Maiden is still in the city!"

"What?" Chen Qianyang's heart sank.

"The Holy Maiden had arranged everything so we could meet here," Qu Feiyan said, her voice trembling. "But for some reason, she hasn't shown up. Maybe...maybe."

"Ren Yingying, where is she?" Chen Qianyang's face turned ugly.

"North of the city, towards Willow Lane..."

North of the city?

While Chen Qianyang was using the Nine Yin Manual to heal his injuries, his mind was racing.

You should know that Zuo Lengchan was in Hengyang City.

Despite the huge commotion today, he has yet to show up.

Considering that the Songshan Sect made such a show of force, it was certainly not just to deal with the Hengshan Sect and Qu Yang.

Then there is only one possibility.

The fact that Ren Yingying has not arrived yet confirms his suspicions.

Ren Yingying has already used all her elite forces to rescue Liu Zhengfeng's family and Qu Yang.

Then her support must be weak, if Zuo Lengchan's target is indeed Ren Yingying.

Everything makes sense now.

This is a complete trap!

The trap set by Zuo Lengchan at the Liu residence was both a warning to others and a feint.

He used Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang as bait to draw everyone's attention to the Liu residence.

The real killer move, however, is aimed at Ren Yingying!

Ren Yingying is Ren Woxing's daughter and is the core of the old faction.

Back in Mingzhou, he had already discovered that Zuo Lengchan was secretly colluding with the Sun Moon Demonic Sect.

Yang Lianting's faction within the Demonic Sect most wanted to eliminate Ren Yingying, and the two hit it off immediately.

By capturing Ren Yingying, Zuo Lengchan could both curry favor with Yang Lianting and gain benefits, and also seize a major weakness of the Demonic Sect.

Such deep scheming.

What a big appetite!

So here's the question: how could Ren Yingying, who is so intelligent, not see through it?

What if she was using a scheme to lure Zuo Lengchan away on purpose?

Qu Feiyan added, "The Holy Maiden also said... that if she didn't come back, Brother Chen and Grandpa should take us away, as far away as possible."

Chen Qianyang slowly closed his eyes, his fists cracking.

The woman who was testing him last night, stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside.

The woman who said, "Even the witches of the demonic sects are cleaner than those from reputable sects."

At this moment, he is facing Zuo Lengchan, the most terrifying leader of the Songshan Sect, all alone.

Ren Yingying was no match for Zuo Lengchan, who was skilled in martial arts.

"Brother Chen..." Qu Feiyan pulled his hand, "Let's go. Sister Yingying said you definitely can't beat Zuo Lengchan."

Yue Lingshan also came over, perhaps noticing his hesitation: "Little Chenzi, don't do anything foolish."

Chen Qianyang looked down at his wound.

Reason told him that leaving now was the best solution.

He had no reason to save Ren Yingying; as long as Liu Zhengfeng's bloodline was preserved, the plot would have taken a turn for the better.

but……

If she isn't saved, Ren Yingying will undoubtedly die.

Or it could be worse than death.

Chen Qianyang took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

In those eyes burned a flame called madness.

"Senior Qu, you take them and go first."

"Brother Chen, where are you going?" Qu Feiyan asked.

Chen Qianyang turned around and looked in the direction of Hengyang City.

The rain was still falling, and as dusk approached, the night sky resembled a giant maw, seemingly about to devour everything.

"I'm going to kill someone."

"Little Chenzi!" Yue Lingshan grabbed his sleeve tightly. "Are you crazy! That's Zuo Lengchan! The leader of the Five Mountains Alliance! Going there now is suicide!"

Chen Qianyang stopped in his tracks.

He looked down at the hands that were wrapped around his waist.

"Ling Shan".

Chen Qianyang's voice was very calm.

"Let go."

"I won't let you go! I won't allow you to go! Is it worth it for a demonic cult member like her? What does she have to do with us? What does it matter to us whether she lives or dies?"

does it worth?

Chen Qianyang was also asking himself this question.

He is a time traveler.

He came into this world to become stronger and to plunder destiny.

For him, feelings are a luxury, or even a burden.

I did do that before.

but.

Last night, on that rainy night, that woman sat on the beam, her eyes mocking yet hiding loneliness.

"Even the witches of the demonic sects are cleaner than those from reputable sects."

"If you're really pointing the finger at Uncle Qu, I'll be the first to kill you."

Those words echoed in his mind.

That woman clearly saw through his schemes and his pretense, yet at the last moment, she still chose to face Zuo Lengchan alone.
