Здесь любовь стоит триста таэлей

Глава 23

Everyone recognized Yun Chan as Master Xia's fiancée. Upon hearing her say this, someone asked, "Then isn't he the Pavilion Master of the Ink Pavilion?"

"This..." Yun Chan was speechless. Lying would probably only make things worse. She looked at Xia Yi for help, but Xia Yi didn't even look at her. Instead, he looked at Lou Lou indifferently and said, "The remnants of the Demonic Sect are to be killed by everyone."

Lou Lou looked back at Xia Yi with an amused expression, neither speaking nor leaving.

Seeing Lou Lou standing there dumbfounded without flinching, and with some people around already itching to grab him with their swords, Yun Chan finally shouted anxiously, "Although he's from the Mo Pavilion, the Mo Pavilion has nothing to do with the Demonic Sect anymore. He has a grudge against the Demonic Sect."

"

"A grudge?" The Dragon Gang leader, Zhao, sneered, finally refraining from aloud out of respect for Master Xia. "Miss Yun is too naive. Everyone knows the Ink Pavilion was formed by remnants of the Demonic Sect. You call them allies?"

"Saying they have a grudge? This isn't just making fun of us, is it? Could it be that the Mo Pavilion is actually on the side of the righteous factions of the martial world?"

"Standing on the side of righteousness?" Lou Lou suddenly sneered, his mocking voice neither loud nor soft: "A bunch of hypocrites, claiming to be righteous figures in the martial world." The Mu family also stood on the side of righteousness back then, but when trouble came, this so-called prestigious family...

Who among the upright people has ever intervened?

Everyone's expression immediately changed, and two young disciples from the Jiaolong Gang rushed over with their swords drawn: "Gang leader, let's capture this bastard who's spouting nonsense first."

Lou Lou snorted and swiftly drew his sword. His swordsmanship was always extremely fast; by the time the two Jiaolong Gang disciples noticed, they were already enveloped in the wind of his blade.

With no way to avoid it, and seeing the two young disciples about to die on the spot, the crowd couldn't help but gasp in alarm. Suddenly, a golden hairpin flew out of nowhere, deflecting Lou Lou's blade. The two disciples seized the opportunity and immediately retreated in a sorry state.

Then a handsome man in a light blue robe flew over and stood between the two sides; it was Shen Yao.

Qianjun followed behind, jumping up and down in anger: "You blockhead, you say men and women shouldn't touch each other, how could you just pull out someone's hairpin like that!"

Shen Yao blushed and apologized, "It was an emergency, I'm sorry."

Qianjun was annoyed, and seeing Yun Chan standing in the crowd, but also Master Xia, she dared not approach, so she turned and ran to Shen Yao's side. She looked at the two Jiaolong Gang disciples and asked Lou Lou curiously, "What's going on? Why are they fighting?"

They've arrived? They don't seem to be from the Demonic Sect.

Shen Yao also looked puzzled and asked Lou Lou, "Master Lou, what's going on?"

The rescued Jiaolong Gang disciples quickly pointed at Lou Lou and said, "He's not some great hero Lou, this demon is the master of the Mo Pavilion."

"Ah!" Qianjun was clearly taken aback. "You're the Pavilion Master of the Ink Pavilion? Why aren't you an old man?"

Shen Yao was also quite surprised: "Master Lou? Is this for real?"

Lou Lou nodded indifferently: "Get out of the way, I won't hurt you."

"Such an arrogant tone." Shen Yao became solemn: "Since you are a remnant of the Demonic Sect, you are my sworn enemy. If you want to harm anyone, you must first get past me."

Yun Chan's arm was tightly gripped by Xia Yi, preventing her from running over. Desperate, she could only yell at Shen Yao, "The Ink Pavilion isn't the same as the Demonic Sect! How can you be so dense? If he were from the Demonic Sect, why would he be with..."

Shall we go to Yanshan to investigate together?

Shen Yao hesitated upon hearing this, then looked up at his master in the crowd. Tan Ying, the leader of the Yuanqing Sect, remained unmoved and only nodded slightly to him.

Hearing Yun Chan repeatedly praising that demon, Chief Zhao, standing to the side, was already very impatient: "That must be a treacherous scheme by the Demonic Sect. Who knows what they're up to?"

Other factions chimed in, saying, "The Ink Pavilion has been lying low for so many years, probably plotting to revive the Azure Chart Sect. Now that the Hundred Beasts Totem has reappeared in the martial world, and members of our Azure Cloud Hall and South Sea Sect have recently been killed by the Demonic Sect, we must capture them today to investigate."

clear."

What to do? Everyone assumed Lou Lou was a demon the moment they heard he was the leader of the Ink Pavilion. Even Shen Yao had drawn his sword against him. Yun Chan had seen from above that everyone present was a master; if a fight broke out, the henchmen would likely not escape.

She was left with no other choice but to shout with all her might, "Hey, run!"

Finally, Chief Zhao couldn't hold back any longer and said sternly, "How can you be so inconsiderate, always protecting that devil! If you cause any more trouble, don't blame me..."

"What about Chief Zhao?" Xia Yi coldly glanced at him, her eyes filled with murderous intent. Chief Zhao felt a chill run down his spine and was unable to continue speaking.

Xia Yi suddenly laughed: "Xiao Chan is naive; she was deceived by that devil. Chief Zhao, please don't hold it against her." He turned to Yun Chan, speaking to her for the first time in days: "Xiao Chan, that person lied to you. He kidnapped you..."

"It was him. He first impersonated a villain to rob you, then rescued you under the guise of Lou Guyan. It was all a trap he orchestrated himself."

Yun Chan was on the verge of tears. She knew all of this, but how was she going to explain it to Xia Yi?

She looked at Xia Yi pleadingly, hoping for a way out: "But Mo Ge hasn't done anything heinous over the years. He really has nothing to do with the Demonic Sect, really, I promise you."

"Guarantee? Do you know him well enough?" Xia Yi's smile vanished completely, his voice turning icy. "Whether he's from the Demonic Sect or not, we'll find out soon enough." His anger barely contained, he tossed Yun Chan to Qing Qi and swiftly moved past her like lightning.

He dismissed Shen Yao and Qian Jun, and then drew his sword to strike Lou Lou directly.

It turned out that Master Xia himself had taken to the stage, which surprised everyone, and they all cheered.

Lou Lou also smiled.

A sword and a blade clashed swiftly, producing a resounding clang. Both attacked simultaneously, unleashing deadly moves. Xia Yi's swordplay was fierce, sweeping across dozens of areas around his opponent in a single thrust; however, Lou Lou's blade was even faster.

The offensive was countered by the counter-offensive; the air was filled with flashes of sword light and blades, and both sides were launching a fierce attack.

The terrifying murderous aura caused the surrounding trees to shake violently, leaving onlookers dumbfounded, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Gradually, the blade overpowered the sword's edge. Lou Lou's attacks grew faster and faster, his blade seemingly enveloped in a layer of golden light, which scattered radiance when it struck Xia Yi's sword.

The headmaster of the Yuanqing Sect gasped and muttered, "It's actually the Boundless Technique."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

The Boundless Technique, the Boundless Technique, was mastered by the Demonic Sect's leader, Tu, who then slaughtered three hundred people from four major sects, making him invincible in the martial arts world. Now, fifty years later, the mere mention of this skill still sends chills down the spines of those in the martial arts world.

Chief Zhao snorted coldly at Yun Chan: "They even used the Boundless Technique, so that person is indeed from the Demonic Sect." He had just been disliking Miss Yun and was thinking that if this girl spoke up to help the demon again, he would teach her a lesson.

Qingqi frowned and flashed to block Yun Chan's path. However, Yun Chan's mind was elsewhere; she hadn't heard Chief Zhao's words at all, her eyes fixed on the two fighting in front of her, her heart pounding in her throat.

Although everyone says that Xia Yi's martial arts are superb, do they know how superb Lou Lou's martial arts are? She has witnessed Lou Lou killing people, and she knows how cold and sharp that blade is; those who are cut will die silently.

She was worried about Lou Lou before the fight started, but now she has completely forgotten about him, her whole heart is focused on that red figure.

Master Xia was losing ground, and the disadvantage was becoming increasingly obvious.

Lou Lou's knife seemed to strike Yun Chan's heart with every blow. She was almost in tears, and grabbed Qing Qi in fear, saying, "Go and help Xia Yi die!"

Qingqi didn't move.

The others dared not move.

The two fighters were so fiercely attacking that there wasn't even a sliver of space. Bystanders had no chance to intervene; anyone who got too close would be caught in the crossfire and could easily lose an arm, a leg, or their head.

Upon hearing Yun Chan's voice, Qian Jun hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to try and stop the two fighting. Shen Yao pulled her back, his tone unusually angry: "Do you want to die?"

Qianjun frowned, about to say something, when a gasp suddenly came from the crowd.

Xia Yi was a step too slow. He managed to dodge the blade, but the tip had already changed direction and was now aimed at his chest.

Xia Yi's lips suddenly curled into a smile. His purpose was merely to provoke Lou Lou into using the Boundless Technique, and Lou Lou had now clearly demonstrated it in front of everyone, making it difficult for him to sever ties with the Demonic Sect from now on.

In this way, he could openly and legitimately gather the righteous forces of the martial arts world and wipe out the Mo Pavilion completely, leaving no one alive.

He will leave no one alive; everyone who stands in his way will die.

Xia Yi's eyes sharpened, and the sword in her hand seemed to suddenly come alive, reversing its downward trend, and she was about to thrust the sword straight up.

The unexpected happened at that moment. Yun Chan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Xia Yi.

It was said that she appeared out of nowhere, because no one saw when she rushed over.

Lou Lou was shocked. The distance was too close; he didn't have time to sheathe his sword, and the blade was about to fall unstoppably towards Yun Chan's left chest.

Xia Yi's sword was thrusting from the side from behind. This strike could have been used to block his blade, but doing so would also have pierced Yun Chan. Without time to think, Xia Yi channeled his power into his hand; the sword didn't thrust out, but instead, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from its blade.

Just then, at the critical moment, a burst of sword energy deflected the blade's direction.

It was the Boundless Technique. Although it was only for a moment, Lou Lou still clearly saw the move Xia Yi used.

Xia Yi, however, turned pale with fright, her hands trembling as she held Yun Chan. This usually arrogant person was now filled with uncontrollable fear, her beautiful peach blossom eyes flashing with panic: "Xiao Chan, Xiao Chan, you..."

"You weren't hurt?"

Yun Chan was also terrified. Her courage had been used up in an instant, and now she could only slump weakly in Xia Yi's arms, unable to speak.

Shen Yao was somewhat shocked: "How could Miss Yun's movement technique be so fast?" The place she was just now was several feet away from the two of them, and he had no idea how she got there.

Qianjun remained silent, stunned. Others couldn't see it clearly, but she knew it: the ugly girl had just used the Lotus Steps, a technique she herself had struggled with when she first learned it, yet the girl had just executed it flawlessly. And this set of light-body skills was the key technique she had taught her.

This thing, meant to save her life, this ugly girl actually used to commit suicide? It's infuriating!

Lou Lou sheathed his sword and looked at Yun Chan with a complicated expression: "Didn't you say you would help me?"

Yun Chan hadn't recovered yet and stammered, "That...that was just something I said in anger. I won't allow you to hurt him."

Lou Lou, his face grim, took a step toward her. Yun Chan involuntarily leaned back, and Xia Yi immediately wrapped her arms around her, raising her sword again toward the opposite side.

However, Lou Lou stopped after taking only one step, and then coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Yun Chan's eyes widened. No way? He was so angry he vomited blood just because she wouldn't help him?

Lou Lou's expression darkened further. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and when he looked up again, his eyes were sharp as ice.

It's poison, a soul-devouring poison.

He had always been extremely cautious. When had he been poisoned? Only that one time, only that one time he took the antidote for the poison. He stared at Yun Chan, his eyes, usually as bright as stars, now filled with darkness: "It was you?"

Yun Chan looked at Lou Lou with a terrified expression: "What do you mean, 'me'? Henchman, what's wrong with you?"

Her expression betrayed worry, but Lou Lou didn't believe there was any sincerity in it. His usually gentle voice was now tinged with anger: "I wanted to believe you, but you lied to me. Very well, very well, very well."

He said "very good" three times in a row, almost laughing out loud, but then he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Yun Chan was really getting anxious: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

The people behind them noticed something amiss. Chief Zhao immediately waved his hand: "This demon has been poisoned. Everyone, take this opportunity to subdue him."

Except for the Yuanqing faction, which did not move, all the other factions rushed forward upon hearing this.

Lou Lou braced himself on the ground with a single sword. The captivating beauty between his brows had vanished, but his expression remained disdainful, as if he were once again a celestial being from purgatory, high above: "You? Dream on."

Xia Yi snorted and was about to draw his sword and step forward, but Yun Chan held him back tightly: "Xia Yi, don't go. Please save him, okay? They will definitely listen to what you say. He really isn't a member of the Demonic Sect."

Xia Yi looked at her in silence for a long time.

He was determined to kill that man, but if he let him die right in front of her, she would be heartbroken.

I still can't bear to see her sad.

Seeing Xia Yi remain silent, Yun Chan wanted to speak again. Suddenly, fog rolled in, and she felt weak. Xia Yi's expression changed, and she quickly took out a medicine bottle and fed her a pill: "The fog is poisonous, hold your breath."

As they were talking, several people had already fallen to the ground in the crowd, and someone shouted, "That devil has escaped!"

Shen Yao reached out to grab Qian Jun, but found he had grabbed nothing; Qian Jun was nowhere to be seen. In the chaos, he didn't have time to think and immediately rushed to meet up with his master and junior sister Tan Shiyao.

Yun Chan was in a daze. Just before she closed her eyes, she saw a woman in purple take Lou Lou away and fly away. She finally felt a little relieved.

Misunderstanding is a poison
