Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 684: Chapter 344: Kill Lan Yin

Inside the room sat three people: Bai Liu, Su Longxiang, and Zheng Mulin.

They had evidently been there for quite some time, waiting for Lin Yuan to arrive.

Lin Yuan gracefully walked to a chair and sat down. The phoenix robe had already been changed to an ordinary skirt on the way here, yet on her, it still couldn’t hide her regal and elegant demeanor.

Bai Liu smiled and said, "Empress Lin possesses beauty and natural gifts, no wonder Elder Yu values you so highly."

Lin Yuan glanced at him and said blandly, "It’s been decades since anyone in the mortal world mentioned my master’s name."

Bai Liu promptly said, "I misspoke, I hope Empress Lin won’t take offense."

Immortal Flying Pavilion is the most mysterious place on the Hongzhou Continent, the number of people it holds, and their cultivation level, remain unknown to all.

Even for people as esteemed as Bai Liu, Su Longxiang, and others, they only heard of one or two names from the Immortal Flying Pavilion.

Among them is this "Elder Yu."

Yet only knowing his name, never having seen him; they knew of this person because he was Lin Yuan’s master.

Seeing Lin Yuan’s displeased expression, Bai Liu repeatedly apologized, not daring to bring up the name again.

Lin Yuan looked at Zheng Mulin, who stood behind Bai Liu, and frowned slightly: "Sect Leader Bai, your disciple..."

Bai Liu replied, "Worry not, Empress Lin. Zheng Mulin is my most trusted disciple, he was the one who caught the murderer Si Minglan who killed the Eldest Prince."

Lin Yuan nodded and continued, "Sect Leader Bai, Sect Leader Su, have you made up your minds?"

Su Longxiang laughed heartily: "I’ve long been displeased with the arrogance of Zhenyang Sect, acting as if they own the world. I am naturally willing to join forces with Empress Lin!"

Bai Liu said solemnly, "Zhenyang Sect is unworthy as the Leader of the Righteous Path, their actions are hypocritical and malicious. This position should indeed change."

Su Longxiang widened his eyes, "Sect Leader Bai, why, do you want to take the seat?"

Bai Liu replied calmly, "Sect Leader Su, first we eliminate Zhenyang Sect, as for future matters, we’ll naturally discuss them later."

Lin Yuan tapped her slender fingers on the table and asked, "If that’s the case, we can discuss the next step. This Immortal Ascension Ceremony is the best opportunity to weaken Zhenyang Sect. Do the Sect Leaders have any good plans?"

Bai Liu and Su Longxiang exchanged a glance but said nothing.

Zheng Mulin, standing to the side, cupped his hands and said, "Master, Sect Leader Su, Empress Lin, this humble one has a plan."

Lin Yuan looked at him, "Let’s hear it."

Zheng Mulin lowered his eyelids, not daring to look directly at the beautiful yet intimidating Lin Yuan, and lowered his head:

"The Immortal Ascension Ceremony is held in West Imperial City; naturally, we cannot act there. We can ambush them on the return journey after the ceremony, and kill their elite disciples."

"Zhenyang Sect’s Six Great Elders have four gone. Coming to West Imperial City this time are their strongest young disciples. If they all fall, Zhenyang Sect will be in chaos without us lifting a finger!"

Su Longxiang chuckled, "The plan is good, but if someone suspects it’s our doing, we’ll never get the Leader of the Righteous Path position."

Zheng Mulin respectfully said, "Sect Leader Su is absolutely right. Do you know Shi Shuhong and Wei Shouyuan died under the Ten Thousand Swords Array?"

Su Longxiang said angrily, "Of course I know. My daughter was with Zhenyang Sect’s disciples on Cyan Lotus Mountain then. Unfortunately, the lass is too stubborn, unwilling to reveal the true story. I tricked it out piecemeal. Eh, how do you know of this?"

Bai Liu laughed, "If Zhenyang Sect can secretly send disciples to the land of South Demon, don’t you think we can also manage it?"

Su Longxiang pointed at Bai Liu, "Sect Leader Bai, you’re truly dependable!"

Zheng Mulin continued, "In this world, there are only three capable of deploying the Ten Thousand Swords Array, including the Demon Sect Saintess Xia Qinglian. After killing Zhenyang Sect’s elite disciples, we release the news of the array’s reappearance; people will naturally suspect the Demon Sect, rather than us."

Su Longxiang slapped his thigh, "This is a brilliant plan! Sect Leader Bai, your disciple is quite apt!"

Zheng Mulin glanced at Lin Yuan and smiled, "Sect Leader Su overpraises me."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, "I can have West Imperial Dynasty support, but you must help me kill someone."

She glanced at Su Longxiang and Bai Liu, her voice cold:

"Tantai Mingyue!"

Bai Liu and Su Longxiang exchanged a look and, after a moment of silence, said in unison, "As Empress Lin wishes!"

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Bai Liu stood up, smiled, "From this moment forth, we are allies, for the Righteous Path and the people of the world, we must destroy Zhenyang Sect!"

Su Longxiang chuckled, "What Righteous Path and people of the world; I just want to stand at the summit!"

The three raised their cups and drained their wine.

A moment later, Lin Yuan left the tavern, her figure flickering, returning to Western Emperor Palace.

She thought for a moment and arrived outside Huafang Hall.

Just as Lan Yin was leaving the side door of her daughter’s chamber.

Lin Yuan’s gaze turned slightly cold as she slowly walked into Huafang Hall, Wu Yiren quickly approached and greeted:

"Mother, why are you here?"

Lin Yuan examined Wu Yiren carefully, noticing a faint flush on her daughter’s cheeks; she had likely just done something with Lan Yin.

Lin Yuan kept her composure, smiling as she gently stroked Wu Yiren’s hair:

"Yiren, do you have confidence in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony?"

Wu Yiren smiled, "Mother, rest assured, I’ll definitely make it to the final round!"

She had already decided to help Brother Lan Yin clear obstacles so he could ideally meet her in the last round and she would lose to him, letting him make it into the top three!

Seeing Wu Yiren’s face full of joy and expectation, Lin Yuan suddenly said, "The Immortal Ascension Ceremony doesn’t prohibit killing opponents. What if your Brother Lan Yin is unfortunately killed?"

Wu Yiren immediately replied, "Impossible, Brother Lan Yin is already Nascent Soul; how many among the young disciples can kill him?"

Lin Yuan nodded, stood up, "You should rest early."

Wu Yiren happily stood up and performed a bow, "I bid farewell to Mother."

Lin Yuan stepped out of Huafang Hall, paused, and three figures emerged from the shadows, kneeling before her.

Lin Yuan said, "You are to immediately kill someone, remember, do it outside the Imperial Palace using Celestial Beast Record."

Two figures replied respectfully, "Yes, Senior Sister Lin, who do you want killed?"

Lin Yuan expressionless, her voice icy, "Zhenyang Sect disciple, Lan Yin."

...

Mo Xiaolan exited Western Emperor Palace; further ahead was Chang’an Palace where disciples from the Three Great Sects temporarily resided.

At this moment, she felt somewhat conflicted, sighing while walking.

What’s going on with Wu Yiren?

Delusion?

Or just evasion?

How should I make her face reality?

Mo Xiaolan was deep in thought when she abruptly halted.

Even though it was late night, there were many snack vendors selling along the street; yet, unbeknownst to her, the bustling sounds had vanished.

Black fog rose around, blocking the path ahead.

Out from the fog, two shadows appeared, moving towards Mo Xiaolan, their bodies changing; they transformed into two demonic beasts!

One resembling a wild boar, covered in black bristles.

One resembling a fierce tiger, with a bull’s tail, like a mountainous body.

These two demonic beasts were not unfamiliar to Mo Xiaolan, and her eyes narrowed slightly at this:

"Feiyu? Tiger Boar?"

During the beast tide, under Zhenlian City, Zhenyang Sect’s disciples encountered three high-grade demonic beasts, among which Feiyu’s bristles could transform into arrows, adept at long-range combat.

Tiger Boar possessed immense strength, best at close combat.

It took the cooperation of multiple disciples to kill them back then, yet today, outside Western Emperor Palace, she encountered them again!

Moreover, they were transformed by humans.

Even Celestial Fall Sect’s Celestial Beast Record didn’t include Feiyu and Tiger Boar?

How were they able to transform humans into demonic beasts?

Mo Xiaolan’s thoughts raced as she slowly asked, "What do you intend to do?"

Tiger Boar, with its scarlet eyes, glared at Mo Xiaolan, opening its gruesome mouth:

"Today at this place, will be your resting ground!"
