Chapter 368: Rescuing Ano and the Leiyin Clan Members

"Very well, I will certainly not fail the Master's expectations."

Sun Taohong knelt on the ground in agitation, placed her hand over her chest, and swore piously, "I, Sun Taohong, swear that from now on I will be loyal to the Young Master and will never do anything to betray the Young Master. If I violate this, may I be struck by five bolts of lightning and die a horrible death!"

As the words fell, a powerful radiance instantly erupted from her body, and a formation from the Heavenly Dao appeared immediately, surrounding her entire person.

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, his peripheral vision suddenly falling upon the man on the bed.

"As for this man..."

Before the words were finished, Su Chen gave Sun Taohong a meaningful look.

After all, this man knew far too much information; logically speaking, killing him to silence him was the best method.

Sun Taohong's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the weak and helpless beautiful man, she gritted her teeth and said to Su Chen, "His nature is not bad, his family background is clean, and he will not leak today's events. Furthermore, since I have submitted to you, he is naturally your subordinate as well."

As the words fell, Sun Taohong frantically winked at that beautiful man.

The beautiful man had originally thought he could not escape death today, but now, having received Sun Taohong's hint, he hurriedly draped his clothes over himself and scrambled up in a rush.

He also knelt on the ground, imitating Sun Taohong's appearance, and swore in a proper manner: "I swear here today that I will certainly not leak today's events. I will be loyal to Lord Su Chen and will never have any heart of betrayal. If I do, may I bleed from my seven orifices on the spot and die having lost all five senses!"

His words could be described as extremely vicious, but they also represented his determination to Su Chen.

Regarding those who had never harmed him, Su Chen had always been very tolerant, so he did not hold it against him and merely nodded lightly.

"Where are the remaining Leiyin Clan members? Take me to find them."

Su Chen glanced at Sun Taohong, then looked at Ano and Sen, who had been silent from beginning to end.

Although Ano and Sen hated Sun Taohong, most of the matters concerning their clansmen had been carried out by the Nangong Family.

Even so, although Sun Jia had also participated in the pursuit, she had always adopted a soft-handed policy and had not forced them to do anything.

"I haven't reported these matters to Ziwei Pavilion yet. The Leiyin Clan members are all safe and sound right now; I will take you to find them."

Sun Taohong immediately put on a fawning expression and took Ano, Sen, and the others to the dungeon.

Inside the dungeon, the Leiyin Clan members were locked together. The emaciated or mutilated appearance they had imagined did not appear; they only looked somewhat listless.

As soon as those people saw Ano and Sen, they immediately ran forward excitedly, looking at the two of them expectantly through the iron bars.

"Saintess, you've finally come!"

"We have waited for you for so long."

Hearing the long-lost voices of her clansmen, Ano's eyes turned red.

She nodded gently and then said, "I have come to find you all. Are you all alright?"

"We are fine, but why are you with this devil... it couldn't be for our sake..."

"Sen, you must absolutely not do something as foolish as submitting to this lecherous devil for our sake!"

"If that is the case, then we would rather commit suicide on the spot; we would absolutely never be that devil's lackeys, nor would we let you be wronged!"

Seeing everyone talking all at once, thinking that they were able to be rescued only because Sen had submitted to Sun Taohong, they were all impassioned.

Su Chen could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth, his gaze falling thoughtfully on Sun Taohong.

Sun Taohong touched her nose in embarrassment, cast her gaze aside, and spoke in a voice as small as a mosquito's, clearly lacking confidence. "I saw that there was one inside who looked quite good, so I suggested he follow me, but he didn't agree, so I didn't force him!"

By the end, she was somewhat nervous, fearing that Su Chen would misunderstand.

It had to be said, Sun Taohong was truly a notorious lecher.

"That's not the case. It is thanks to this benefactor, Su Chen, that I was able to successfully rescue you all. Sun Taohong... has also turned over a new leaf now and will not harm us."

Ano pursed her lips, gripped Sen's hand tightly, and looked at her clansmen with her bright, watery eyes earnestly.

Although she did not explicitly state how things were with Sen, her tight grip had already explained everything.

It turned out the little girl's possessiveness had kicked in, and she was asserting her claim here.

Su Chen could not help but laugh; their Elf Clan was truly innocently cute.

Once everything was packed up, Su Chen followed Ano and the others to the Shengdi of Leiyin Mountain.

As for Sun Taohong and the others, they were taken to the Lin Family's territory by Yi Zhuyue. If the remaining people of the Sun Family were willing to follow Sun Taohong, they could do so after taking the Heart Demon Oath.

They had originally thought that after such a situation, the people of the Sun Family would find it hard to accept, but they never expected that those people were extremely loyal to Sun Taohong and, upon hearing Sun Taohong's words, they took the Heart Demon Oath without hesitation.

It was unexpected that although Sun Taohong looked unserious, she actually had a way of managing subordinates.

As for Ano and Sen, after properly settling their clansmen, they finally arrived at the Shengdi.

Calling it a Shengdi, it was actually the summit of Leiyin Mountain, which looked very flat, breaking Su Chen's previous impression of a Shengdi.

"So the Shengdi of Leiyin Mountain is right here; no wonder those people could never find it no matter how they looked."

Su Chen could not help but speak.

Of course, he did not think that the Shengdi was just like this; there must be some mystery within it that only Leiyin Clan members could step into.

"That's right. Several hundred thousand years ago, our ancestors once helped a human and brought him to see the Leiyin Holy Fire, but after that human was saved, he spread the news, which brought great disaster to our clan."

When Sen said this, he could not help but clench his fists.

Ever since that incident, the entire Leiyin Mountain had been completely sealed off. To redeem his own sin, their ancestor made up his mind to merge with the entire Leiyin Mountain, and this purple barrier was derived from that.

Not only that, because they were conceived within Leiyin Mountain, the Saintess was naturally able to trigger a connection to Leiyin Mountain.

Therefore, only the Saintess could bring people into the Shengdi.

Previously, Ano and Sen were actually very hesitant, fearing that Su Chen would be like those people before—not showing gratitude after helping, and instead bringing a catastrophic disaster to their clan.

When they said these things at the time, they had also made a great determination; it could be considered a gamble.

Fortunately, Su Chen did not let them down.

Su Chen nodded, the expression on his face very earnest: "I will absolutely not spread today's events and will return your Leiyin Mountain to peace."

"We and our clansmen have already taken the Heart Demon Oath to you and will be loyal to you from now on. How could we have any reason to doubt the Master's words?"

Sen smiled; compared to his previous coldness, he had a bit more vitality.
