Chapter 235: Master, what should we do now?

Su Chen and the others were a great distance away from the Purple Qilin, yet even now, they could hear the furious pressure emanating from its angry roars.

Those Qingyun Sect disciples who could not escape in time gradually slowed their pace amidst this pressure; some were already unable to control their bodies, convulsing all over and spitting blood.

The Purple Qilin, however, did not intend to let them go, as it had already concluded in its heart that this group of impolite thieves had snatched away its Purple Thunder Immortal Grass.

It was seen leaping into the air, covering the distance to the straggling Qingyun Sect disciples in just two or three strides; its eyes were scarlet, and in a few bites, it had mangled a Qingyun Sect disciple into a bloody mess.

At the same time, the Purple Qilin swung its massive claws, accompanied by the crackling of lightning and surrounded by purple light; with every few strikes, another person fell.

The once peaceful Qingyun Secret Realm had now become a living hell, a complete, one-sided slaughter by the Purple Qilin.

Liu Ruyan's eyes turned red as she watched; among these people were many of her former fellow disciples, but since Su Chen made no move, she did nothing.

"Young Master, what should we do now?"

Lv Luo watched the bloody scene before her and spoke indifferently.

Having lived for so many years, she understood one principle: kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Thinking of this, she simply turned her head, taking the opportunity to ask Su Chen a question so as not to look at the bloody scene.

"Ruyan, what do you think?"

Su Chen did not answer Lv Luo's question immediately, but instead cast his gaze upon Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan only felt a sea of scarlet before her eyes, and she did not know when her eyes had also turned red.

She did not know what Su Chen's intention was in asking her this.

But now that she was considered Su Chen's woman, and having been in the Illusion Realm for so long and witnessed the things the Qingyun Alliance had done, she truly could not bring herself to say anything to shield her own sect.

Liu Ruyan turned her head stiffly to avoid looking at the bloody scene, her lips parting and closing several times; for a moment, she was almost unable to speak.

"I have no opinion; see for yourself, Young Master."

After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, she could not bear it in her heart after all; after all, there were innocent people among them, and as someone who grew up in the Qingyun Alliance, she could not bring herself to watch coldly from the sidelines.

"There are good people among them, not like the Second Elder and Gu Feiyang who would abandon their partners and leave."

As Liu Ruyan said this, she seemed to recall the figures supporting each other when they had gone on sect missions together.

Hearing this, Su Chen immediately realized Liu Ruyan's complex mood; although he was vengeful, he was not a perverted serial killer.

Looking at the bloody massacre before him, although he could remain indifferent in his heart,

he still had to consider Liu Ruyan's state of mind; he did not want to appear too cold-blooded and ruthless in front of her.

Thinking of this, Su Chen said to Lv Luo, "Let's find a way to defeat the Purple Qilin first; as for whether those people can survive, it depends on their own fortune."

Upon hearing this, tears uncontrollably welled up in Liu Ruyan's eyes; she never expected that Su Chen would indirectly help those innocent sect disciples because of her.

"Young Master, thank you."

Liu Ruyan's throat was dry, and it took a long time for her to find her voice.

"There is nothing to thank me for; this Young Master is not a good person."

Hearing this, Su Chen smiled indifferently.

For some reason, even though the sky was dreadfully gloomy, Liu Ruyan felt that Su Chen was shining brightly.

Receiving the order, Lv Luo and Su Chen went together to deal with the maddened Purple Qilin, while Liu Ruyan flew over quickly to rescue the Qingyun Alliance cultivators who still had a chance of survival.

The Purple Qilin was already on the verge of rage; when the Purple Thunder Immortal Grass matured, countless ants had blocked its path, and now the Purple Thunder Immortal Grass was nowhere to be found—its hard work of several hundred years had all come to nothing.

But the moment Lv Luo approached it, it instantly sensed the aura of the Purple Thunder Immortal Grass on her.

"You."

The Purple Qilin's eyes stared fixedly at Lv Luo; it could sense that Lv Luo's true form was not human, and it scolded angrily, "Why do you collude with humans?"

Reaching the Purple Qilin's realm, combined with its unique talent, it was not strange that it could see through Lv Luo's true form.

Lv Luo did not answer; she raised her hand and released her Spiritual Power, the pale green Spiritual Power transforming into vines that instantly attacked the Purple Qilin.

But the Purple Qilin's innate attribute was lightning, which was a natural counter to creatures like Lv Luo; the vines turned to ash in an instant before they even reached the Purple Qilin.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."

The Purple Qilin let out a cold snort and instantly emitted a low roar from its throat, carrying lightning as it attacked Lv Luo, "If you are sensible and hand over the Purple Thunder Immortal Grass, this Venerable one might spare your lives."

"Impossible."

Lv Luo hurriedly dodged the bolt of lightning, but it inevitably grazed her hair, and a small lock of hair on her forehead was scorched black.

She subconsciously cast her gaze toward Liu Ruyan's side.

As the Saintess of the Qingyun Alliance, Liu Ruyan usually had great influence, but those people had just suffered the betrayal of the Second Elder, and one by one they were dejected and did not even trust Liu Ruyan.

Therefore, progress on Liu Ruyan's side was exceptionally slow.

"You can barely save your own life, yet you still have the mood to care about the life and death of others."

The Purple Qilin sneered, completely enraged by her distracted attitude.

Following its movements, purple-black lightning swirled around it; its movements were elegant and carried the arrogance of looking down on all living things as it slowly walked toward Lv Luo, the lightning flashing like a pet, as if in threat.

Lv Luo's strength was higher than the Purple Qilin's, but the Purple Qilin's innate attribute was a natural counter to her, so she was fighting very strenuously.

She gritted her teeth and silently thought of a countermeasure.

The Purple Qilin also sensed Lv Luo's intention to escape; with a slight shift of its mind, before Lv Luo could escape, a cage drawn with lightning was already set up all around her.

If Lv Luo tried to run out, she would lose a layer of skin even if she didn't die.

"Hand over the Purple Thunder Immortal Grass!"

The Purple Qilin roared angrily.

Lv Luo naturally would not submit so easily, so she simply remained silent.

This attitude undoubtedly enraged the Purple Qilin; it tilted its head slightly, and black clouds gathered in the sky, with purple lightning flashing in the center, almost blinding one's eyes.

The lightning gestated in the air, continuously thickening, and the pressure it brought was extremely intense; Lv Luo even felt that in the next second, she would be struck into a dried corpse.

Suddenly, the sound of a precious sword broke through the air, its speed so fast that it left an afterimage in the sky, striking straight toward the Purple Qilin's head.

It forcefully interrupted the accumulated purple lightning.
