Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 55

Follow Tian Yao to demon cultivation?

Yan Hui lightly looked at Tian Yao upon hearing those words. She treated it all as nonsense. Ever since she was brought to Chen Xing Mountain by Ling Xiao ten years ago, she cultivated the xian way. She, to her bones,was xian. If she were to cultivate the demon path, wouldn't that be the same as breaking her bones apart and flushing her system out to the point of near death just to start the demon cultivation.......

How much suffering would she have to endure? Only the insane would switch halfway to start cultivating with Tian Yao.

Yan Hui immediately pursed her lips and tossed the thought to the back of her mind.

Within the a few days, the news of Qing Qiu's declaration of war had spread throughout the entirety of the Central Plains.

Every single xian sect was shocked and stunned. They weren't surprised about Zhenren Su Ying killing a nine-tailed fox demon princess without batting an eyelid. Rather, they were surprised that Qing Qiu, upon discovering this news, without delay declared war and threw the entire world into battle.

All the xian sects were in turmoil. Some of the elders wanted Chen Xing Mountain's Zhenren Qing Guang to take charge of the situation. However, Zhenren Qing Guang had been in seclusion for several months. Even Chen Xing Mountain's own people haven't see him. The xian sects lacked a leader.

On the other hand, there was Zhenren Su Ying of the Guang Han Sect, who with her arrogant words, caused a war with Qing Qiu.

In a short moment, there was a knife edge hostility between the xian sects and the demon clans.

The town Yan Hui was staying in was still a little ways from Qing Qiu. But after two days, xian cultivators using the Propelling Sword technique could cover triple that distance. Yan Hui thought about it. She feared she wouldn't be able to stay in this little town much longer. By the time night fell, Yan Hui had it all planned out. She intended to find Tian Yao and talk it out. If Tian Yao wanted to find his body parts to fight with Su Ying, then that was fine. But if it was to help the demon clans fight the Central Plains, then she had better separate from Tian Yao, the sooner the better.

They were of different cultivation. In the end, she couldn't be part of his scheme.

Before she opened the door, Yan Hui heard the sounds of a quiet disagreement coming from outside the door. The was Qing Qiu's heir, Zhu Li, arguing again with his old servant outside.

"........look at the situation. If you still don't go back, by the end of tonight it won't be easy to leave that way, Your Highness!"

"I told her I would wait three days."

"Ah! Heavens! You little devil! If she wanted to leave, she would've left with you by now! What are you dilly-dallying for! Stop throwing a tantrum and obediently come back with this old servant please!"

There a long pause before Zhu Li uttered: "We leave tomorrow."

Still so stubborn. Yan Hui sighed and yanked the door open. She looked right at Zhu Li and said: "Go back tonight. There's no use waiting until tomorrow."

Zhu Li's mouth opened and closed. In the end he only gritted his teeth together. He finally seemed a little childish in that moment: "In any case, I'm still going to wait for you until tomorrow before going."

Yan Hui saw he was starting to double down. She knew people with that kind of temper couldn't be swayed. Thus, she ignored Zhu Li and knocked on Tian Yao's door. She called out: "Let's go down to eat. I need to talk with you."

Tian Yao was meditating in his room to regulate his inner breath. There wasn't much for him to do here. Thus, when Yan Hui called, he came out.

The moment he stepped out, Tian Yao sensed a burning gaze directed at him off to the side. With a side glance, he saw Zhu Li starting at him. Zhu Li's expression was somewhat filled with jealously, but mostly it was a clear "I'm not happy" face.
