Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 744: Chapter 404: The Forbidden Name

Chang’an Palace.

"Junior Zhang, Junior Chen, that Qiu Zhihe is really Xia..."

Bai Liu and Su Longxiang’s faces turned ashen.

After the Immortal Ascension Ceremony ended, chaos suddenly erupted in the Western Emperor Palace, even the Guardian Array of the West Imperial City suddenly failed.

They noticed something was amiss and led their disciples back to Chang’an Palace in a hurry, preparing to pack their things and leave the West Imperial City quickly.

However, they saw Zhenyang Sect disciples had arranged dozens of arrays within Chang’an Palace, everyone prepared and ready.

At this time, Zhang Zheng and Chen Yunfeng came to them and explained Chen Qingmo had exposed Tantai Mingyue and Su Xin’s collusion with the Demon Sect, intending to assassinate disciples from the Three Great Sects.

And there was even more shocking news.

That Feiyun Sect disciple Ruo Mei, not only ranked second on the Beauty Ranking as Qiu Zhihe, but also possibly the Demon Sect Saintess!

Although no one dared to utter this name, everyone knew who it referred to, causing Bai Liu and Su Longxiang’s scalps to tingle.

"Impossible! That woman is dead; we saw it with our own eyes at Celestial Ridge Mountain!"

Bai Liu exclaimed, his voice trembling a little.

"She self-destructed in front of all of us! Did you guys make a mistake? By the way, where is Elder Leng? Sect Leader Chen?"

Su Longxiang was slightly calmer but still looked extremely grim.

Zhang Zheng’s expression darkened: "Junior Martial Uncle Leng is missing, Sect Leader said he wants to keep an eye on the traitor Tantai Mingyue."

Su Qingfeng behind Su Longxiang suddenly spoke: "How could Sect Leader Chen be so sure that Qiu Zhihe is..."

He opened his mouth but ultimately swallowed back that forbidden name.

He had ambushed Chun Hongtang alongside Xu Zhenqian and Huang Kezhou.

And because that person was deeply close to Chun Hongtang, it added another layer of blood feud between them and that person.

Xu Zhenqian had died in the phony Cyan Lotus Sect relic, and Huang Kezhou mysteriously perished outside West Imperial City.

Only he remained.

Thinking back now, if that person is still alive, then Xu Zhenqian and Huang Kezhou’s deaths must have been her doing.

Thus, of all these people, Su Qingfeng was actually the most concerned about whether Qiu Zhihe was really that person.

Chen Yunfeng shook his head: "Sect Leader did not confirm, it’s merely speculation, but Sect Leader’s intention is that, even if there’s a one-in-ten-thousand chance, we must prepare thoroughly, after all, back at Celestial Ridge Mountain, everyone witnessed..."

Chen Yunfeng did not continue, among those present were eleven elders of the Three Great Sects, including Sect Leaders Su Longxiang and Bai Liu.

But everyone’s faces looked slightly uneasy.

"Damn it!"

Su Longxiang shouted fiercely: "There are so many of us; are we supposed to be afraid of one Demoness?"

Bai Liu also shouted: "Sect Leader Su is right, evil cannot prevail over good, that Demoness has committed countless evil deeds. Even if she narrowly escaped last time, if she dares to come today, she’ll surely meet her demise!"

"Yes!"

"The Sect Leaders are right!"

"We have thirty Nascent Soul Realm here; even if the West Imperial Dynasty comes out in full force, they might not be a match for us, why fear just one Demoness?"

The surrounding elders echoed loudly.

No matter what they felt inside, they would shout anyway; they couldn’t lose momentum.

Bai Liu glanced around and asked Zhang Zheng and Su Longxiang: "By the way, where are Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling?"

After all, these two are as famous as the Demoness; if they were present, the Three Great Sects would have higher chances of victory.

Zhang Zheng answered somewhat embarrassedly: "Junior Sister Ye has been close with Qin Gengyun and He Zhiqiu; I haven’t seen her at all."

Su Longxiang coughed lightly: "Sect Leader Bai, you saw, didn’t you? My daughter lost to that Qiu Zhihe; knowing her nature, she probably won’t act again."

Bai Liu grew anxious: "Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling are the pinnacle of combat power in the Righteous Path; how can they act independently at such a critical time?"

Zhang Zheng and Chen Yunfeng exchanged glances, unable to respond.

Su Longxiang chuckled: "Bai Liu, don’t just talk about us, where is Jiang Yin? She’s not bad either; why isn’t she here?"

Bai Liu stiffened, "My disciple likes peace and quiet; she must be in her room."

Seeing Bai Liu, Su Longxiang laughed knowingly, as if he knew Bai Liu’s secret, causing Bai Liu to quickly say:

"We should hurry and gather our disciples, arrange our defenses!"

"Sect Leader Bai is correct."

"Yes, let’s get on with it!"

After some discussion, Su Longxiang, Bai Liu, Zhang Zheng, and Chen Yunfeng went to their respective sects’ disciples’ residences to rally everyone.

"Where is Senior Brother Chun?"

As Chen Yunfeng and Zhang Zheng headed towards Zhenyang Sect disciples’ gathering place, Zhang Zheng suddenly asked.

"Chun Ningzhi hasn’t appeared at all."

Chen Yunfeng shook his head, and Zhang Zheng murmured:

"Senior Brother Chen, ever since we entered West Imperial City, I’ve felt many things have seemed eerie; Junior Martial Uncle Tantai, Junior Sister Su, Junior Brother Chun, Junior Sister Ye, they all seem to have secrets?"

"You’ve felt that way too?" Chen Yunfeng glanced around, murmuring:

"Though the Immortal Ascension Ceremony has ended, the real danger might just be beginning!"

Zhang Zheng nodded repeatedly: "Senior Brother Chen, we must be cautious!"

The two entered the courtyard where Zhenyang Sect disciples resided, but saw only half of the original hundred remaining.

Chen Yunfeng frowned and asked: "Where are the others?"

A disciple stepped forward and said: "Senior Brother Chen, earlier Junior Sister Ye, Senior Sister Su, Senior Sister Wei, and Senior Sister Fang came, saying they were dealing with a Demon Sect sneak attack, and took half the people to ambush outside Chang’an Palace."

"Su Xin? She is suspected of colluding with the Demon Sect; how can you heed her?!"

Chen Yunfeng exchanged a glance with Zhang Zheng, causing Zhang Zheng to quickly ask: "Who did they take?"

The disciple replied: "Junior Sister Ye said whoever stayed in Chang’an Palace from the beginning, those who never went to Cyan Lotus Mountain should follow them."

Meanwhile, at Feiyun Sect disciples’ residence.

"What? Jiang Yin took whoever hadn’t been to Cyan Lotus Mountain and left? Saying it was under my orders?!"

Bai Liu was furious: "When did I ever instruct her? Unfilial disciple, what is she trying to do?!"

At Thunder Sword Sect disciples’ residence.

"What? Hongling took those who hadn’t been to Cyan Lotus Mountain? Even dragged Ming Hu away?!"

Su Longxiang stormed: "What’s this disobedient daughter trying to do?!"

Outside Chang’an Palace.

A dainty and cold figure walked leisurely down the street.

Amidst the panic-stricken crowd fleeing due to the failure of the Imperial City Array and turmoil in the Imperial Palace, the rush was frantic, crowded.

Yet no one could come within a yard of this woman.

She reached the front of Chang’an Palace, the Hundred Flowers Floor-Sweeping Skirt she wore suddenly transformed into a Black Gauze Cloud Pattern Robe.

The woman quietly stood for a moment, as if awaiting something.

After half an incense’s duration, three women approached.

One wearing a Moon White Flowing Immortal Skirt, cool and elegant yet subtly charming.

One gently carrying a Yaoqin, gracefully walking, elegant and gentle.

One tall and wielding a massive hammer, flat-chested.

The three approached the woman in the Black Gauze Cloud Pattern Robe, Come Yue giggled:

"Madam, we’ve taken away everyone who hasn’t been to Cyan Lotus Mountain, those left inside are all those who’ve stained their hands with innocent mortal blood!"

Jiang Yin, holding the Yaoqin, bowed gracefully: "It’s the same here, Master can feel free to act, slay Bai Liu."

"Same here; inside are only Thunder Sword Sect disciples guilty of killing the innocent, as agreed, spare my father’s life!"

Su Hongling snapped, reluctantly.

Qiu Zhihe glanced at the three, nodded slightly, lifted her foot, and walked into Chang’an Palace.
