Chapter 672: The Sun

"Two people have already been caught in these past two days; it is not so easy to escape now." Lu Wuyi spoke in a low voice, his tone trembling.

He knew his younger sister's personality, so he would not try to change Lu Jianxia's choice.

But Lu Jianxia's actions were still far too risky.

"Brother, my mind is made up," Lu Jianxia said earnestly.

"A person's life can be heavy or light; this is what the Young Master taught us."

"Are you scolding me?" Lu Wuyi said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"No." Lu Jianxia shook her head; Lu Wuyi had long since signed a contract with Chen Changyuan, and there was simply no turning back.

"Young Master..." A trace of bewilderment appeared in Lu Wuyi's eyes.

"If the Young Master were here, what would he do? He would surely curse Chen Changyuan," Lu Wuyi said, but immediately after, hatred erupted in his eyes.

"Damn it, since he was going to leave, why didn't he take you with him!?"

The fury in Lu Wuyi's eyes grew more and more intense.

Chen Yan had deceived Lu Jianxia more than once.

Not only did he fail to make the Great Xia release the four elders of Lu Province.

He even killed Lu Cunyang.

Now, in such a situation, Chen Yan had actually deceived Lu Jianxia once again.

Lu Wuyi had previously wanted Lu Jianxia to defect to Chen Yan to gain a glimmer of survival, even helping Chen Yan deceive Lu Jianxia, letting Lu Jianxia continue to believe that Chen Yan was Yu Laiwei.

Yet Chen Yan had simply left just like that, without taking Lu Jianxia with him at all.

Regret, disappointment, anger.

Lu Wuyi's anger toward Chen Yan grew increasingly intense.

Lu Jianxia looked at her brother calmly and said:

"Winners are kings and losers are bandits; Great Xia and the Five Clans were enemies to begin with, so losing is just losing."

Now that things had reached this point, she actually saw things more clearly.

As an enemy, it was understandable for Chen Yan to use her; that she didn't see it clearly was her own problem.

Moreover, Chen Yan helped her twice; in fact, she, Lu Jianxia, had actually come out ahead.

Furthermore...

"He was also unaware of the situation outside; if he had taken me along, perhaps we both would have died," Lu Jianxia said calmly.

Having lost three years of memories.

The current her no longer had her original struggles, and she viewed matters more objectively instead.

She had forgotten the heart-fluttering feelings that Bing Yi had brought her.

And she had also forgotten the infinite longing that Chen Yan had brought her.

"Jianxia..." Lu Wuyi murmured, then sighed softly.

Perhaps this was for the best.

The younger sister before her memory loss was the one who suffered the most.

It was just that, as her brother, Lu Wuyi absolutely could not just watch his sister walk to her death.

Even if he loathed Chen Yan, he still hoped Chen Yan could bring his sister a glimmer of survival.

Given how Lu Jianxia had treated Chen Yan before her memory loss, even if Chen Yan was only using her, he should still remember Lu Jianxia.

"Just like Uncle Lu betrayed my Lu Province, and the Xia Clan ruled the nation by using marriage to scheme against the four elders.

My Lu Province has always been like a joke, just like me."

Lu Wuyi sneered.

"Brother..." Lu Jianxia's nostrils flared, and at this moment, there was a hint of sorrow in her eyes.

Suddenly, she smiled:

"I have always felt that the Lord of Will would descend soon, and all the disasters here would be completely resolved."

Lu Jianxia stretched out her hand, and a brilliant golden-red light swirled and floated around her fair, slender fingertips.

Lu Wuyi was stunned.

The Lu Jianxia of the past had also looked forward to the Lord of Will like this.

He had not expected her to be the same now.

"I think so too," Lu Wuyi said with a smile, looking somewhat disheveled.

He looked deeply at his sister, knowing that she might meet her death this very night.

He had to do something.

But he discovered that there was nothing he could do.

…………

Time passed slowly.

It was evening.

"For the Sun."

A person who looked exactly like Chen Yan stood at the edge of the small town and bowed to Wu Song and the others.

"For the Sun!"

Wu Song and the others bowed in return; beside him, Chen Yan stood quietly.

The plan he was using was very simple.

It was to use Chen Yan himself to draw out the principals, teachers, and others within the school.

The one executing the plan was not Chen Yan.

Instead, it was a peak Creation Realm expert disguised as Chen Yan.

The other party's destination, in all likelihood, was death.

"You don't need to look at me like that."

The woman disguised as Chen Yan smiled, revealing her true appearance.

It was a terrifying face.

Blue-black mold spots crawled over her skin like spiderwebs, her entire face was swollen and shiny, crisscrossing bloodstains looked like hideous ravines, and the congealed scabs still shimmered with dark red.

One could vaguely tell from the contours that this was a woman.

"I have already been struck by malice and won't live much longer; my life is worthless."

The woman smiled, looked at Chen Yan, and said nothing.

She had no feelings for Chen Yan, and she did not even trust Chen Yan.

After all, the other party's few words had made Wu Song change his plan, forcing her to come out and die.

But if she didn't go to die, who else would?

The woman revealed a relaxed smile:

"I hope I can be better looking in my next life."

As she spoke, she prepared to enter the small town.

"Senior." Chen Yan suddenly called out to her.

"You..." The woman was stunned, looking at Chen Yan:

"Something the matter?"

Chen Yan waved one hand, and streaks of golden-red light emerged; the woman instinctively dodged, but the next moment she was enveloped by a sense of warmth.

Visibly to the naked eye, the black spots on her face dissipated, and the tumors vanished.

Until the next moment, Chen Yan withdrew his hand.

The power of will was still suppressed too much, even though he was already using the Breath of Life and Death to open up the connection between this body and his true self.

But it was still difficult to exert even one ten-thousandth of his strength.

However, this was already much better than when Chen Yan first started.

A miraculous scene had just occurred.

Not only the woman, but even Wu Song and the others were stunned on the spot.

"This is the power of will, a newly born Martial Dao that can devour and extinguish malice," Chen Yan said.

In an instant, Wu Song's expression changed completely.

Malice could actually be devoured and extinguished?

He looked at Chen Yan in astonishment:

"Do the foreign Creation Realm experts in the school also possess such miraculous power?"

"They do, but not much, and they are not as good as me," Chen Yan said.

Wu Song fell silent, looking at the woman whose face was clearly much better, his lips twitching.

"Forget it, I'm going in." The woman waved her hand indifferently, turned back into the appearance of Chen Yan, and walked into the small town.

As she walked, she turned her head to look at Chen Yan:

"I have never seen someone as despair-inducing as you."

Anger appeared between her brows, followed by longing, and finally, it turned into a final trace of resolution.

All these emotions, in an instant, turned into endless pain.

Just like Qi Fan.

That man had fought with a heart prepared for certain death from the beginning, yet Chen Yan had made him start to crave survival.

This was painful.

I had already prepared myself to die, yet you tell me these things.

You have made me develop an unprecedented expectation for the future world.

But you do not have the ability to take me to see the future world.

Are Ancient God Beasts demons?

No.

You are.

As the woman walked, tears appeared in her eyes.

She cried.

Chen Yan gazed at the woman's back.

At this moment, he did not know if Qi Fan had resented him at the final edge of his life.

But he just did not want to deceive that woman.

He wanted to tell her that he had the ability, it was just that his ability was insufficient.

He just wanted to tell Qi Fan to live, to live with everything he had, rather than dying for someone.

But it seemed he was always doing the wrong things.

*Slap. *

Chen Yan's shoulder was patted by someone; it was a man also covered in tumors, who smiled at Chen Yan and grinned:

"Don't take it too hard, our lives are worthless."

The man smiled extremely brightly.

Someone echoed with a laugh:

"This decision is too casual."

"Casual is normal; our lives are so cheap—casual plans, casual deaths, hahahaha."

"You all are being too serious, actually... it is indeed like that, hahahaha."

Everyone laughed.

Chen Yan had just arrived during the day, and a few words from Chen Yan were going to make one of them die.

Such a huge sense of tearing, no one would feel comfortable.

Chen Yan looked at them calmly, saying nothing.

To the side, Wu Song looked at Chen Yan calmly.

Right up until the end, not a flicker of anger had crossed Chen Yan's face.

At this moment, an inexplicable strangeness emerged in Wu Song's heart.

If Chen Yan had faced the mockery, gotten angry, been furious, or started hurling insults.

He would have felt better.

That way, he would have a reason to pursue back that woman of his.

To tell that person, a person like Chen Yan is not worth you dying for.

He is too childish, childish to the point of not being worth our trust.

Therefore, Wu Song hoped Chen Yan would show a trace, even just a trace, of a flaw.

That way, he would have a reason.

But there was none.

This person, from beginning to end, calmly accepted everyone's mockery.

This made him roar in his heart, made him unwilling, and also made some kind of hope emerge in his heart.

Until, everyone behind him stopped mocking and stopped talking.

Wu Song suddenly said with a smile:

"We are indeed... worthless."

…………

At the same time.

Inside a classroom.

"Xia Xin, what are you saying?"

Xia Long looked coldly at one person.

Inside the classroom, all the Creation Realm cultivators were glaring at that person, their eyes wide open one by one.

The man named Xia Xin had a flash of struggle in his eyes, until finally he growled:

"I said, I hope you can sign a Life Seal with Chen Changyuan!"

Xia Xin shouted in a low voice, using almost all his strength.

"Everyone, can't you see the situation? We are going to die; today is the last day.

Do you want to die?"

The veins on Xia Xin's temples bulged, the blood vessels in his neck throbbed, and his eyes were scarlet as if they were about to spray fire.

He was very angry, whether it was real anger or he wanted to use anger to cover up his own cowardice.

At this moment, Xia Xin looked at everyone with cold eyes:

"What exactly are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for Chen Yan?"

"Or waiting for death?"

"Chen Yan's own life and death are uncertain; when it comes down to it, he is just an eighteen-year-old child. What are you expecting?"

Bang!

Xia Long punched Xia Xin in the chest, slamming Xia Xin onto a desk.

"Get out!" Xia Long said indifferently:

"Don't use the surname Xia from now on."

Endless disappointment and killing intent emerged in Xia Long's eyes.

Xia Xin stood up, his face flushed red:

"What did you say? I can't use the surname Xia?"

Jiang Yuan laughed:

"Old brother, your old Xia family has no one who surrenders."

Xia Xin's expression turned dark:

"Shut your mouth. What qualification do you have to speak to me like that?"

Boom!

Xia Long kicked Xia Xin in the stomach:

"What qualification do you have to speak to us like this?"

Xia Xin's nostrils flared violently, his teeth gnashed with a 'clack' sound, and his cheeks bulged high from the exertion.

"You all..."

He suddenly laughed:

"Why are you all so stupid? The Xia family lost its power long ago. Before, you found a Lu Xunyang, and now you've found a Chen Yan.

You all rely on others to rise to power; do you have the face to talk about me?"

Someone looked at Xia Xin, gritting their teeth:

"You are bowing to the Ancient Divine Beast, you are betraying the human race, why don't you understand!"

"I don't want to die!" Xia Xin roared out:

"I don't want to die, if you don't bow, you will all die one by one tomorrow, you don't want to kneel, you are so noble, you are so amazing!

What are you still hoping for, are you still thinking about how Chen Yan will save you?"

Xia Xin's voice was frantic.

In an instant, everyone's expression became even uglier.

It was also at this moment.

"Yu Laiwei!!!"

The Principal's voice suddenly rang out.

"Everyone get out, catch Yu Laiwei!!!"

As the Principal's voice fell, everyone's expression trembled.

Xia Long and the others' expressions trembled, and they hurriedly ran out of the classroom, only to see the Principal leading a group of teachers all running toward the outside of the school.

"All of you, get back!"

Inside the security office, the old security guard glared at everyone:

"Get lost and go back!!!"

In an instant, Xia Long and the others narrowed their eyes, but still returned to the classroom.

Very quickly.

Chen Changyuan appeared.

At this moment, Chen Changyuan was actually traversing the void, his hands behind his back, and after indifferently sweeping a glance at Xia Long and the others, he flew toward the outside of the school.

Chen Changyuan narrowed his eyes; he had already reached the edge of advancement.

But how could he give up the opportunity to hunt down Chen Yan?

He narrowed his eyes and saw at a glance the back of Chen Yan, who was still speeding along the street.

"This speed..." Cold light bloomed in Chen Changyuan's eyes.

It seemed Chen Yan had also obtained power through some channel.

…………

At the same time.

"Chen Changyuan's power wasn't suppressed?"

"He has already become an Ancient Divine Beast, how could he possibly be suppressed?"

"It was still suppressed, just not as severely as ours; his flight speed is about the same as the Origin Realm."

"Chen Yan has been discovered, he is done for."

"This... what should we do?"

"He cannot escape."

…………

The entire school exploded into chaos.

Countless voices of discussion arose.

Some people rushed to the school gate but were blocked by the security guards.

Some people gritted their teeth and roared, but were helpless.

Lu Jianxia, Lu Wuyi, Yu Cheng, Yu Ming, and others were all watching outside the school.

Their hearts were extremely heavy.

Chen Yan had also been discovered.

Chen Yan was also on a dead-end path.

A trace of despair appeared in Yu Ming's eyes.

He was the most miserable one.

Now that Yu Laiwei had signed a contract with Chen Changyuan, in a few days, Yu Laiwei would settle accounts with the Yu Clan.

He, Yu Ming, was the number one traitor.

"Do you see it?" Xia Xin roared:

"Do you see it?!"

"He is going to die too!"

Xia Xin roared, a suppressed low growl emitting from his throat, his chest heaving violently.

"I am not surrendering, I just want to survive!"

"What about Chen Yan, he's just a brat, do you really think he is that amazing?"

Xia Xin kept growling, and only now did he feel comfortable.

Once, he had also looked forward to Chen Yan, revered him, and pinned his hopes on him.

But now, he had already defected to Chen Changyuan.

Chen Yan was a thorn in his heart.

"A low-born person who walked out of Qingshan, he should have died long ago!"

"You are all pitifully childish!!!"

He kept roaring, wanting to drag the Great Xia Creation Realm to defect to Chen Changyuan just like him.

Only then would he feel a bit more comfortable.

Otherwise, what does he count for?

He is not compromising, he is deeply understanding of the greater good, blending his light and softening his dust.

"Speak!"

"Xia Long, speak!!!"

Xia Xin roared, but at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the entire school had gone quiet.

An eerie silence.

Xia Xin frowned; he saw Xia Long's wide-staring eyes and the smile at the corners of Shen Yiwei's mouth.

For some reason, his heart began to beat violently.

He followed everyone's gaze and looked behind him.

When he saw that face clearly.

His pupils contracted violently into pinpricks, his lips trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered, making faint clicking sounds.

A touch of terror.

A torrent of terror completely occupied his heart.

High above in the sky, the masked Wu Song was still watching from afar.

Only then did he realize that Chen Yan actually held such a significant status in the hearts of these foreign Creation Realm cultivators.

Those mockeries were meant to suppress Chen Yan to elevate their own status.

Those rages were anger that someone had rebelled against Chen Yan's dignity.

Wu Song narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Chen Yan just like that.

He wanted to know what kind of role Chen Yan played in the outside world.

And so.

He saw it.

Xia Xin, who had been roaring just a moment ago, felt his legs go weak the instant he saw Chen Yan, and he knelt down completely.

He lowered his head and shouted with his most terrified voice:

"Heavenly... Heavenly God General!"

He had never been so afraid before.

Even when facing Chen Changyuan, he had never been this afraid.
