Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 339 - 144: Layers of Suspicion

Seven days later.

"We’ve already passed Cloud Pattern Mountain, soon we’ll reach Fallen Immortal Forest."

Liu Su gazed into the distance and turned back to Mo Xiaolan:

"Xiaolan, it’s a pity your orchid can’t last long, otherwise we’d be at Xingluo Town by now."

That day, upon confirming they couldn’t enter the Relic, Qin Gengyun decided to set off and leave the Northern Wilderness, return to the Eastern Cultivator, and head to Zhenyang Sect.

This was agreed upon with his wife, and he himself had many questions in his heart.

Could there be hidden truths between Sheng Tanglian and Zhenyang from five hundred years ago?

How did the Cyan Lotus Sect become labeled as the Demon Sect and get expelled from Eastern Cultivator?

Additionally, how did Mo Sha easily open the array at Cloud Bamboo Mountain?

Is there anyone in Zhenyang Sect colluding with Spirit Corpse Mountain?

The answers to these questions may all lie on Zhenyang Mountain.

Thus, everyone left Cloud Bamboo Mountain with the children, and Mo Xiaolan summoned a gigantic orchid to fly them for a day.

However, her cultivation wasn’t sufficient and the orchid could only fly for a day before it couldn’t continue.

The group then walked along with the children.

After walking for seven days, they finally were near Fallen Immortal Forest.

Once out of Fallen Immortal Forest, ahead lies Xingluo Town, and they would set foot in Eastern Cultivator’s territory.

Yun Wu and the children were venturing so far from Cloud Bamboo Mountain for the first time, everything seemed novel, so they didn’t feel tired.

On the contrary, Liu Su was quite exhausted.

Because she had to travel while guarding against Jian Yue.

That little minx constantly teased the master, seemingly wanting to soften his heart to give her the antidote.

Pah!

It’s not that master doesn’t have the antidote, but even if he does, it’s impossible to give it to you!

Whenever eating or stopping to rest at night, Liu Su was on high alert, keeping Jian Yue away from Qin Gengyun.

The worst part was, she caught Jian Yue several times trying to sneak into Qin Gengyun’s tent at night.

This fake fairy is indeed shameless!

Liu Su had been worn out by her antics for several nights, yawning while speaking to Mo Xiaolan, but Mo Xiaolan was deep in thought.

"Xiaolan, what are you thinking?"

Mo Xiaolan replied, "I’m thinking, after Sheng Tanglian’s death and the child was born, where did that child go?"

Her words drew attention, everyone who had entered the Relic together had seen the scene within the bone light curtain.

Five hundred years ago, Sheng Tanglian was lured by Zhenyang into that Immortal Mansion and killed, her body nailed above the Divine Statue’s brow.

After Zhenyang left, Sheng Tanglian’s child was born.

But in the scene, everyone only heard the baby’s cries and didn’t see the child, then the scene vanished.

Yun Wu always tries to see the bright side: "Maybe that child grew up later and left the Relic on his own?"

Si Minglan shook her head: "Impossible, at that time, Sheng Tanglian was nailed so high up, the child would have fallen and likely died on impact."

Fang Xue said: "Then why didn’t we see the baby’s remains in the Relic?"

Si Minglan laughed: "After five hundred years, the bones would have decomposed, disappeared, where could you find them? Plus, that place was transformed into Cyan Lotus Sect’s Relic, who knows what changes occurred in between? You see, even Sheng Tanglian’s remains are gone?"

Qin Gengyun asked Liu Su: "Susu, do you know if the Cyan Lotus Sect has found remains inside?"

Liu Su shook her head: "Master, you overestimate me. I’m just a little nobody, not qualified to enter the Relic."

Actually, Liu Su had followed Xia Qinglian into the Relic, but what she saw then was the same as now, only that desolate Divine Statue Hall and the lonely Divine Statue.

Liu Su suddenly asked Jian Yue: "Ye Xiyue, you’re an elder from Zhenyang Sect, have you heard of the old tales?"

Jian Yue swayed, following Qin Gengyun: "I only know the founder of Zhenyang Sect had affections for Sheng Tanglian, never heard they had a child."

Liu Su scoffed: "Still calling yourself senior sister, what’s the use of you?"

Jian Yue giggled: "I can keep Master warm in bed."

"You harlot!" Liu Su cursed, Jian Yue nodded repeatedly:

"I’m a lowly maid, naturally lowly, what’s strange about that?"

Liu Su was speechless, ignoring her.

After discussing briefly, everyone found no clues.

Upon entering Fallen Immortal Forest, the fierce beasts there posed little threat to Qin Gengyun and his companions. In the evening, they camped on a grassy field.

As always, Mo Xiaolan took on Qiu Zhihe’s role, hunting fierce beasts to cook for everyone.

Qin Gengyun ate silently, then moved aside to sit and meditate.

The women exchanged worried glances.

Since Qiu Zhihe entered seclusion, Qin Gengyun had been silent, every day only traveling, eating, and cultivating.

Liu Su wanted to go talk to him, but Si Minglan held her back:

"The one who ties the bell must untie it, he misses Qiu Zhihe and is troubled, only Qiu Zhihe can relieve him."

"Let me go, I can use my body to help Master forget about his wife."

Jian Yue licked her lips eagerly.

"Scram, go wash the dishes!"

Liu Su hissed, Jian Yue glared at her, Liu Su sneered:

"Tomorrow is the day the Soul-devouring Pill takes effect, do you believe I won’t tell Master to let you suffer for two days before giving you spiritual power?"

"Second lady, calm down, I’m going." Jian Yue smiled, obediently going to wash the dishes.

Late at night.

Inside Qin Gengyun’s simple wooden cabin, he sat cross-legged on the bed, still cultivating.

During these days of cultivation, his spiritual power continued to increase, though the numbers that appeared were only +1, +2, and the like.

The growth rate was far slower compared to when he cultivated with his wife.

However, this helped him consolidate his foundation, his cultivation grew too quickly, mostly with magical combat, leaving little time for introspection.

It was a good opportunity to solidify his base and learn from experience.

His Dragon Scale Technique was nearly at great success, capable of withstanding a direct blow from a first-layer Golden Core.

Earth Vein Slayer as an auxiliary cultivation technique to alter terrain in magical combat had some utility.

Regarding Golden Dawn Fist and Golden Python Divine Fist, they were somewhat lagging behind his current cultivation.

Aside from his robust physical form, his true attacking methods were only Setting Sun and Moon-breaking.

Yet these two moves had obvious drawbacks, requiring Yun Wu for recharge after each use.

As long as Yun Wu was present, they could be used infinitely.

But if Yun Wu wasn’t there?

In these days, Qin Gengyun had already taught the women transformation methods; before leaving Fallen Immortal Forest, they would change their appearance and disguise their identities.

If that’s the case, when at Zhenyang Sect, Yun Wu couldn’t recharge him in public.

Setting Sun and Moon-breaking could only act as aces in critical moments.

Thus, Qin Gengyun needed combat techniques that could be displayed openly.

By the way, Ye Xiyue, being a senior sister of Zhenyang Sect, should know quite a few cultivation techniques, right?

"Master, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

While contemplating, a fragrant breeze swept in, Jian Yue entered the wooden cabin, her body directly leaning against his back.
