Chapter 124 Return
At this moment, my body trembled uncontrollably.
Chen An didn't believe it. Even if Qing Yue wasn't a kind person, she would never do such a thing.
She wanted to investigate herself, to investigate thoroughly. She didn't want to wrong Qingyue, nor did she want to let the murderer who hurt her master get away with it.
Her spiritual energy emanated from her fingertips and, as her body trembled, shakily touched Elder Mingsan's body.
The dozen or so non-fatal wounds were inflicted by Lu Yin, but the wound that touched the soul was actually from Qing Yue.
If there were any hidden story, Qingyue wouldn't have needed to make any attempt to conceal it. However, she went to great lengths to hide eight or nine-tenths of her aura.
Chen An couldn't understand why she would do this, but that was the truth. Qing Yue had done it; she had murdered Chen An's most beloved master.
Along the way, Chen An met many people, among whom she was most grateful to Elder Ming San.
The old man who drinks every day seems unreliable, but he always appears in time when she needs him, protecting her time and time again.
This time, her master passed away while protecting her.
How could she not avenge her master? So what if she was coerced? At worst, she would kill Qingyue and all those who coerced her.
A cold light shone from his eyes. Although Chen An, who had already achieved the intermediate stage of Yin and Yang, was not the strongest, he was definitely among the strong.
Especially after destroying the Cui family and killing Lu Yin, he can be considered a strongman.
A violent aura emanated from his body, accompanied by the hissing sound of the wind.
Fu Gui gazed ahead, and although it didn't look at Chen An, it could still sense her pain.
He thought to himself, although Chen An, her master, was unreliable and often tricked her, how could he let others bully her?
Thinking back to the pity he felt when settling Qingyue a few days ago, Fugui wanted to slap himself twice.
The foolish owner doesn't know that it's a noble otherworldly fox; how could it not see that Qingyue is a bad guy?
"Fugui, help me find Qingyue."
The commanding tone was rarely heard in Chen An and Fu Gui's conversation, but this time, Fu Gui would not hold it against him.
Turning its body, it jumped off the tank without hesitation and disappeared into the air.
Chen An didn't turn around, but stared sharply ahead. They were about to reach Zhaoning Sect.
Unlike last time, she landed at the main gate of Zhaoning Sect.
Before her stood dozens of Nascent Soul stage experts from the Zhaoning Sect, each with a grim expression.
Chen An used his magic to lift Elder Mingsan's body, and the sect leader gently took it from him.
The sorrow in his eyes made Chen An lower her head involuntarily. The dead were not only her master, but also the junior brothers, masters, and uncles of everyone present...
In the group, Xuan Qingyuan and Gu Minglang stood side by side, Si Xun held a white rabbit, and Mu Jingtai hid alone in the distance.
Chen An dared not look at them; she was afraid that seeing their suffering would break her own spirit.
The sect leader didn't say much, but led everyone away to take away Elder Mingsan's body.
After an unknown amount of time, most of the people on the field had left.
"Junior Sister Chen'an, you're truly remarkable. First, you betrayed the sect and disappeared without a trace, then you personally murdered our master. Zhaoning Sect is truly fortunate to have you." Bai Yuanqi, already at the peak of Core Formation, pushed aside the people on both sides and continued relentlessly, "As the saying goes, 'One general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand.' Elder Mingsan must be one of those bones on your path to success, not me..."
With a muffled thud, Bai Yuanqi was tackled to the ground by a tall figure. Chen An kept his head down and did not look at him.
But they also knew who had tackled Bai Yuanqi.
"You bastard, don't think that just because your bastard father acknowledged you, you can be arrogant and smug, daring to slander my master and asking if you don't want to live anymore."
After saying this, Mu Jingtai didn't give Bai Yuanqi a chance to speak at all, throwing punch after punch with all his might.
By the time of the second punch, Bai Yuanqi had already died, but Mu Jingtai's fists wouldn't stop. What he wanted wasn't Bai Yuanqi's life, but for him to remember in every future life that no one could harm the people around Mu Jingtai.
Xuan Qingyuan watched the bloody scene but did not step forward to stop it.
Even someone as composed as him couldn't tolerate anyone showing off at this time.
He slowly stepped forward, placed his hand on Chen An's shoulder, and said in a seemingly casual tone, "Don't listen to him. It's not your fault that your master passed away. He was at the Nascent Soul stage. If he wanted to live, he could have left."
Hearing this, Chen An felt even more distressed. Xuan Qingyuan, his second senior brother, was the most meticulous in his conduct and actions. Among his fellow disciples, he had spent the most time with their master. How could he not be distressed?
To make Chen An feel better, he even tried to suppress his emotions.
"It's not your fault." Si Xun mechanically stroked the white rabbit in his arms, staring at Chen An and forcing a smile.
Gu Minglang, who was usually the most talkative, simply nodded this time, contrary to his usual behavior.
Chen An felt as if her heart was being torn apart. The words were meant to comfort her, but they only made her feel worse.
"Thank you." Chen An paused, then continued, "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
She left decisively. As the ebony sword sped along, sparks flew continuously in the air. Her feet felt warm, but her face was cool, especially when the wind blew, the coolness on her face chilling her to the bone.
Chen An hastily wiped his face with one hand, then moved even faster.
At this moment, she had only one goal: to avenge her master.
A hoarse voice came from behind, "Take me with you."
The newcomer was Mu Jingtai. He quickly drove up to Chen An's side and continued, "Only by killing them can Master rest in peace."
"Okay, let's go together."
The two walked in a deathly silence. After a long while, Chen An spoke: "You killed Bai Yuanqi, is that alright?"
Mu Jingtai shook his head. "Who cares? Anyone who dares to speak ill of my master and my junior sister deserves to die."
His voice wasn't loud, but Chen An was once again moved by the weight of those words. From the moment they met, Mu Jingtai had said the same thing, and he had done the same.
"Where are the tanks?"
Chen An was a little confused by the sudden turn of events, but he quickly realized that it was true that when emotions were running high, it was easy to make mistakes.
Using their mental powers to investigate, they discovered that the poor tank had only traveled halfway between the two men's distances.
Upon returning to Yihe Sect, Fugui was the first to appear beside Chen An. It simply shook its head and said, "The person is gone, and their aura has been neutralized."
Chen An patted Fu Gui's head and whispered, "I will find her."
At this moment, Fugui also noticed Mu Jingtai, nudged him with his head, and then turned and left.
Xu Wuhen stepped forward and stared at Chen An for a long time before speaking: "I heard you died twice in the previous battle."
Mu Jingtai coldly observed Xu Wuhen. It was inappropriate to bring up this topic now. If the person in front of him had any sense, he should comfort Chen An and discuss these cultivation matters after everything was settled.
