Chapter 90: Ring of Blood Demon_4
The person she loved fell for another woman, which was already a huge blow. In the end, she died at Yuefeng because of that woman. This humiliation was unforgettable for her, and she sought every way to avenge the Carefree Sect without violating Ao Wushen's last wishes!
Qi Ling looked suspiciously at the enchanting woman, Mo Yue. After a long while, she finally came to a sudden realization with Su Chen's words, "I promise you, as long as you let her go, I'll do anything you ask!"
What Mo Yue wanted was Su Chen's cooperation. Her earlier talk of killing herself was just a ploy to lure Su Chen into agreeing!
Such deep conniving of the Blood Sect Leader. But there was still one thing Qi Ling couldn't understand: What exactly did Mo Yue want to use Su Chen for?
She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with some remorse as she looked at Su Chen. She initially thought that revealing Su Chen's identity could get Mo Yue to spare him, but instead, she pushed him into a desperate situation. What should she do now if Su Chen gets caught...
"Alright, since you are willing to trade yourself for her, we of the Blood Sect will naturally honor our promise. Bai Ya, take the girl out and ensure she is unharmed."
Bai Ya immediately bowed and replied, "As you command, Sect Leader."
But just then, Qi Ling suddenly spoke up to stop him, "No, I can't leave!"
Su Chen trembled all over, and against his will, shouted, "Go quickly, leave here at once!"
Qi Ling's eyes instantly welled with tears, but she held back with all her might, "Su Chen, I'm sorry, it's my fault you're involved in this. I thought they'd let you go..."
Su Chen gave a bitter smile, "What you said on the mountaintop, was it all true? We're just acquaintances, aren't we?"
Qi Ling bit her lip and said, "No, I was lying to you, you fool. I still want to be your little wife, how could I bear to let you die alone in the wilderness!"
Su Chen laughed again, but his expression seemed so relieved, unraveling the anguish in his heart, making him more at peace than even escaping death at this moment. He was so worried that Qi Ling would say it was the truth.
"Bai Ya, take her away."
Mo Yue watched the two bid farewell, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a wave of irritation.
Bai Ya grabbed Qi Ling by the shoulder and dashed out of the hall amidst her cries of alarm. Only then did the light in Su Chen's eyes dim.
"What, your little wife left, and you're reluctant?"
Mo Yue said with a hint of a cold smile.
Su Chen shook his head silently. Though his heart felt empty, Qi Ling's departure made him much more at peace. It's better for one to die than both.
"Remember your promise to me; whatever I want you to do, you must obey, otherwise..."
Su Chen suddenly raised his head! His gaze was cold as he stared at Mo Yue!
"Otherwise what?"
Mo Yue suppressed her astonishment, snorting, "Otherwise, your little wife, even if she escapes to the ends of the earth, will die by my hand. If you don't believe it, you can try."
The darkness returned to his eyes. Su Chen knew that right now, compared to Mo Yue, he was like a pitiful ant, which she could easily crush with a single finger.
"Ghost Howl, take him to the secret chamber; I'll come over later."
Mo Yue ordered.
Ghost Howl nodded slightly and slowly approached Su Chen.
But just then, the longsword in Ghost Howl's hand suddenly emitted a dense black light!
Ghost Howl's face changed, his voice fluctuated intensely, "Sect Leader, it's a Spiritual Treasure!"
"What?"
Mo Yue thought she misheard, frowning as she looked at the astonished Ghost Howl. Meanwhile, Su Chen was staring at the source of the black light, which was surprisingly the black crystal embedded in the longsword!
Ghost Howl's face returned to calm, staring at Su Chen's neck for a long while, "Sect Leader, this boy has a Spiritual Treasure on him."
Mo Yue immediately stepped towards them. Her alluring face also showed an unusual longing.
A Spiritual Treasure is indeed a powerful advantage in battles of the same level. Even though she already had one, another could be used to recruit even stronger allies.
Standing before Su Chen, her eyes became extremely grave. Su Chen averted his eyes in fear, covering his neck tightly with his hand.
Mo Yue saw this and suddenly chuckled softly, speaking in a gentle tone, "Let go."
"No."
Su Chen's tone was unusually firm.
"Have you forgotten? You just promised me that you would obey whatever I wanted."
Mo Yue spoke kindly.
Su Chen was stunned, and his hand involuntarily relaxed. Mo Yue extended her jade-like hand to extract a dark red ring connected by a transparent thread from Su Chen's collar!
"Is this... Bai Ya's Ring of Blood Demon?"
Mo Yue exclaimed in shock, while Ghost Howl's expression also changed accordingly, his gaze becoming cold as he looked at the panic-stricken Su Chen.
"I picked it up."
Su Chen murmured softly.
Mo Yue glanced at him, a slight hint of joy forming between her brows. She initially thought that with Bai Ya losing the Ring of Blood Demon, the Blood Sect's strength had suddenly decreased by twenty percent. But who would have thought, this disciple accidentally captured from the Carefree Sect turned out to be the one who found the Ring of Blood Demon.
