[MXTX] Three Times the Love

Chapter 28 - The Drums Play and Control

Jiang Cheng's eyes thinned. A spark of purple lightning crackled around his clenched hand. "Yunmeng Jiang will be destroyed?"

Bo Fan did not respond.

Sensing Jiang Cheng's impatience and arrogance, Lan Xichen patted the Clan Leader's shoulder. "Clan Leader Jiang, don't be impulsive." However, his suggestion was not taken seriously, as Jiang Cheng shoved his hand away and clenched his fists even tighter.

"You want to fight against my five hundred disciples?" Jiang Cheng sneered.

His eyes widened and he threw his sleeves backwards, "I'll let you try."

A surprised look flashed across Bo Fan's face. His bloodshot eyes seemed to contain a deeper meaning, as he lowered his head. "You said so, Clan Leader Jiang. I expect you to keep your words."

Jiang Cheng, Wen Ning, and Lan Xichen backed up. They allowed the five hundred disciples to step forwards, confronting the demon before them. It was five hundred VS. one demon. This fight obviously appeared very unfair to Bo Fan, and yet, why did he take the initiative to battle against them?

At first sight, this seemed like a trap.

And yet, after rallying their brains, Jiang Cheng couldn't find what trick the demon had hidden under his sleeves. Was Bo Fan trying to distract them?

But would he really sacrifice himself?

At that point, Jiang Cheng just wanted to see what Bo Fan was trying to achieve. Besides, he doesn't believe that the demon could possibly escape from death this time.

"What are you thinking, Clan Leader Jiang?" Lan Xichen pulled Jiang Cheng over.

Wen Ning watched the two, who were only a few centimetres from touching each other.

"What if this is a trap?" Lan Xichen muttered to himself. "Are you willing to sacrifice all your disciples just to kill a demon?"

"Are you saying that my disciples can't kill him?" Jiang Cheng arched an eyebrow. "Saying that is tantamount to disrespecting their skills and capabilities. I'd suggest you, Clan Leader Lan, to stay back and watch how the demon gets the punishment he deserves."

Lan Xichen fell silent. He wanted to listen to Jiang Cheng's words, but for some reason, a feeling of unease lingered in his heart.

It was because, Bo Fan came by himself at such a weird timing—it makes one suspect every little detail.

If one wanted to win a fight, they'd use every single advantage they have. However, this demon just came by himself. It was basically suicide.

This made Lan Xichen feel suspicious even further.

Lan Xichen turned to the three couples, who were watching in the back. "Go inspect every corner of Yunmeng Jiang." Lan Xichen clenched his hands into fists. "I suspect that something isn't right. There is no reason that Bo Fan would come to Yunmeng Jiang for nothing."

The three couples nodded. Wei Wuxian bowed, "Is there perhaps... a chance that Bo Fan has a teammate who already infiltrated into Yunmeng Jiang?"

This question brought silence to them all.

"That is the worst circumstance possible." Lan Xichen bowed his head. "Which is why I'm ordering you guys to search for anything suspicious. If there is anyone you guys think is bringing harm to Yunmeng Jiang..." He raised his head once again, "Then get rid of them."

The three couples felt solemn.

It was Shen Qingqiu who came back to himself first, "Yes, ZeWu-Jun."
