I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 255 - 17: I Don’t Want to Run Anymore
"Of course, I know this is difficult to achieve, but there is another path we can choose."
"You must know that woman is still trapped under the Trapped Dragon Abyss. We can use her to threaten Xiang Qingchi to let the ordinary disciples leave."
"If she hasn’t completely lost her mind, I think she would agree."
Lu Chengfeng frowned slightly, "I have thought about this matter, but if we release that woman from the Trapped Dragon Abyss, she could probably recover over seventy percent of her combat power immediately."
"Even if the two of us join forces, we might not be able to match her."
"One Xiang Qingchi was already a significant threat. If we add her, with mother and daughter joining forces, I fear even the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Array would be dismantled by the two of them."
"Moreover, that Princess Consort Xiang has a twisted and perverse mind, sees ordinary people as ants, and slaughtered thirteen cities and killed millions when she came to the Yuncang Sword Sect."
"Her ruthlessness surpasses Xiang Qingchi. Even if the disciples manage to leave the Yuncang Mountain Range, Xiang Qingchi might spare them, but the Princess Consort may not..."
"Then you should leave, go far away." Zhu Yuxian did not pause, as if waiting to say those words, "As long as you survive, the Yuncang Sword Sect will still exist, and Yuncang’s legacy will not be severed."
"I have now become a pawn for those people behind the scenes. As chaos is about to erupt in the Yuncang Mountains, they will not let me leave easily."
"Seeing this place about to become a battleground for immortals, the best choice is for you to withdraw..."
Lu Chengfeng then realized that all Zhu Yuxian’s previous words were just to justify his departure.
"If I wanted to leave, I could have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"
Lu Chengfeng suddenly grabbed Zhu Yuxian’s somewhat cold fingers, but did not turn to look at her, "I grew up in the Yuncang Sword Sect, learned martial arts here, married, and had children. This place is my root."
"When Youdu incited the Three Great Sects to invade, I was weak and nearly died even against ordinary enemies. It was you who saved me at the crucial moment."
"Later, when King Xiang challenged Qi Yuan, everyone in the sect was on high alert, feeling that the Sect might be annihilated. Even the First Seat and the Eighth Hall Masters were pessimistic and desperate, sending disciples down the mountain, leaving the Sect with seeds of hope."
"At that time, you gave me a human skin mask and a mission to assassinate, allowing me to leave the mountain honorably."
"I always thought you truly wanted me to unite with the Celestial Patrol Department through assassinations to fight Youdu." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
He couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh. "Looking back now, I was too young. Actually, I was no different from Senior Sister Du Mengyan, both of us sent down the mountain by you to save our lives."
"It was just to prevent us from feeling guilty, so you gave us a seemingly crucial mission to save the Sect, but in reality, it was all to get us down the mountain."
"I’ve already fled embarrassed once."
"Back then, I hadn’t yet mastered the Sword Intent, facing the disasters of the Sect, I was heart but powerless, could only watch."
Lu Chengfeng’s tone was gentle, not at all hysterical, just recounting everything.
"But now I have become a Celestial Human, gained many fortuitous encounters, wielded extraordinary power, and become the Sect Leader of the entire Yuncang Sword Sect."
"Yet now, in the face of a formidable enemy, I still have to flee..."
His tone was somewhat drifting, "Living between heaven and earth, striving upwards, determined to become immortal, one must contend."
"I’m afraid if I escape too many times, I’ll lose the courage to face a formidable enemy."
"Your spiritual will is to become an immortal, but I... that’s the ambition of an ordinary man."
"The anger of an ordinary man, blood splattering five steps!"
"I don’t want to talk anymore. Whoever wants to destroy my Yuncang must first ask if my sword agrees."
Zhu Yuxian was rendered speechless. As a martial artist herself, she understood that Lu Chengfeng’s actions were not just for the Yuncang Sword Sect.
More importantly, it was for himself!
If a martial artist loses even the slightest courage and spirit in their core,
they probably wouldn’t even respect themselves.
"Have all the disciples retreat to Jade Immortal Peak. I’ll make one last effort, maybe there’s a chance."
Lu Chengfeng’s words were still hanging in the air, and he was already gone.
He silently thought to himself that perhaps refining that immortal’s memory would let him know what exactly they were plotting, so he could target them accurately.
No more grasping at straws like a blind man, relying only on speculation and imagination.
"The time left for us is running out!"
Lu Chengfeng could clearly feel that the sense of crisis was becoming increasingly urgent. Although it wouldn’t threaten his life, without a doubt, that day was getting closer and closer.
