Chapter 59 Hekou Village
"That sword is called Burning Heaven?"
Cang Yan nodded, "Yes, Burning Heaven is a special demonic sword that only the Demon Lord can use. Since the Demon Lord's unfortunate death more than ten years ago, Burning Heaven has been sealed in the Tianyi Sect. Half a month ago, I was fortunate enough to sense the birth of Burning Heaven, and that's why I risked my life to cross the Myriad Manifestations Sea and come to the Spirit Realm. Finally, I found you by relying on the aura of Burning Heaven."
The more Cang Yan spoke, the more gloomy Lin Ji's expression became. Eventually, the turbulent emotions in his eyes could no longer be concealed, as if he were suppressing a terrifying blizzard.
Finally, the boy revealed an extremely sarcastic smile, "Ha! So that's how it is... I really am the Demon Lord's child! No wonder..."
No wonder that woman was always so erratic, one moment saying the man had lied to her and betrayed her; the next she was gazing at his face with a shy expression, expressing her passionate love. Even in her last moments, she never revealed the man's real name. Ah!
As Lin Ji laughed, he couldn't help but cover his face with his hand, and gradually his dark eyes turned bloodshot.
"Ha ha……"
Cang Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt a chill creep up his skin. He stiffly lowered his head and did not disturb the boy.
After laughing for a while, Lin Ji finally calmed down. He lowered his hand and looked at Cang Yan, who was still kneeling.
"Perhaps you are right, but that has nothing to do with me. Get out of here. I have no interest in the survival of the Demon Realm, nor do I want to take on that responsibility."
If this demon had approached him right after he left the cave, he might actually have agreed to go back and unify the demon race. At that time, he was filled with hatred and only wanted to destroy the Tianyi Sect and this world, taking everything with him.
But now, he'd rather stay by Su Luo's side than go to the Demon Realm. After all, the person he hated most had already been killed by him; he didn't care whether the others lived or died.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ji's attitude was so firm that Cang Yan immediately became anxious, "Young Master, please reconsider..."
Lin Ji grew impatient. "I'm saying this one last time: Get out! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Cang Yan gritted his teeth, refusing to give up. Protecting the Demon Realm was the mission his father had given him!
For some reason, he suddenly recalled Lin Ji's special attitude towards the girl named "Su Luo" along the way, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak up.
"If you're worried about not seeing Su Luo after returning to the Demon Realm, why don't I help you turn her into a puppet? That way, you can keep her by your side... uh!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ji suddenly grabbed his neck, the boy's hand squeezing Cang Yan's neck so hard it made a "crackling" sound, his dark eyes filled with a terrifying bloodlust.
"What did you say? Huh?"
At this moment, Cang Yan could choose to struggle, but if he really struggled, Fen Tian would probably be drawn in the next moment.
So he let the other person choke him tightly, and no matter how painful it was, he kept his expression unchanged, only managing to squeeze out sounds little by little.
"Your subordinate... misspoke... Please forgive me, Young Master..."
He could tell that the young master had a special feeling for Su Luo, but he didn't expect him to care about her so much! It seems that he had underestimated Su Luo's importance in the young master's heart!
Seeing that he hadn't shown any signs of pain for a long time, Lin Ji felt a little bored. Just as he was thinking about whether to just snap his neck, Cang Yan continued to persuade him.
“I know you care about Su Luo, but if you don’t have the power… I’m afraid… you can’t protect her…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji paused, and unconsciously loosened his grip slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Ahem... Just as I was able to find you, the Right Protector... will find you sooner or later. If he gains supreme power in the Demon Clan, then you will definitely be a thorn in his side... a thorn in his flesh... At that time, Su Luo, who is with you, will also become the Right Protector's target for elimination..."
Lin Ji lowered his eyes in thought, the bloodshot color in his red eyes gradually fading and turning back to black.
"Now that I have entered the pseudo-Nascent Soul stage, I can naturally protect Su Luo."
"Even the strongest fists can't fight against a multitude of hands. No matter how high your cultivation level is, how confident are you that you can protect that girl from thousands of demons? Besides... the Right Protector is more cunning than you think. If he were to ambush the girl while you're not paying attention, it would probably be too late by then... Therefore, the best solution is for you to become the Demon Lord, so that the Right Protector wouldn't dare to covet what's yours..."
Lin Ji remained silent for a while before finally releasing his grip, coldly warning, "Don't let this happen again. Don't let me hear Su Luo's name from your mouth again."
Su Luo belongs to him, and no one else can covet her!
"Cough cough..." Cang Yan touched his neck, coughed several times before catching his breath, and continued, "Yes, subordinate understands."
"As for what you just said, I'll think about it carefully. Until I've made up my mind, you're not allowed to appear in front of us." After saying that, Lin Ji closed his eyes and ignored him.
"Yes, Young Master."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Cang Yan quickly responded, bowed, stood up, took a deep look at the boy, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared through the window.
He had a premonition that the young girl might become the young master's fatal weakness...
Three days later, in Hekou Village.
To avoid attracting attention, Su Luo had been using concealment talismans on Feng Xingzhou these past few days. Heading south, they finally arrived at the village where the original owner's relatives lived.
The boat stopped a dozen miles away from the village. Su Luo planned to go and take a look, so she asked the three of them to wait for her there.
Lin Ji, who was usually quiet on the road, insisted on going with her. For some reason, Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue also urged Lin Ji to come along, and Su Luo had no choice but to agree.
As the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue chuckled, looked at each other, and seemed to understand each other perfectly.
"Senior sister, did you figure it out too?"
"Of course. You already knew?"
"Hehe...yes~"
Su Luo was completely unaware that she had become the subject of Chu Wenqing and Lin Ji's conversation. As she led Lin Ji toward the village, her heart pounded as she watched the village draw closer.
If she remembered correctly, the original owner's family members, besides her parents, included three brothers and sisters.
More than a decade ago, the original owner's father went up the mountain to collect herbs and accidentally found Qingya Zi, who had collapsed and was seriously injured in the forest. He took him home and gave him the only old ginseng in the house to heal his wounds. Although mortal things have no effect on cultivators, Qingya Zi eventually regained consciousness.
To thank the original owner's father, Qing Ya Zi promised to let one of the original owner's children become his disciple and bring her back to the Tianyi Sect. In the end, among the four children in the family, Qing Ya Zi chose the original owner, who was only three years old at the time. When she was still young and unaware of the world, he took her away from her parents and brought her back to the Tianyi Sect.
One of the main reasons Qingya Zi chose the original owner was that he sensed that the original owner had spiritual roots.
However, when he brought the original owner back to the Tianyi Sect, he discovered upon testing that the original owner only had mixed spiritual roots, and he was immediately disappointed. Soon, he entrusted the original owner to the care of Ye Danqing, who was young but mature, and went to focus on cultivation himself.
Thinking of this, Su Luo couldn't help but sneer.
How ironic! There are other ways to repay kindness besides taking someone's child to cultivate immortality, yet Qingya Zi couldn't even think of that, still believing he had bestowed an immense favor upon the original owner's family. After taking the original owner as his disciple, he abandoned them out of disappointment. Such an irresponsible person is supposed to be a gentleman respected by everyone in the Canglan Continent! Utterly laughable!
