The Yandere Male Lead Chases Me-Chapter 785: The Demon King’s Darkening (Part 48)
The sky outside was nearing dusk.
Su Yan no longer lingered.
She walked out.
Xiao Hua spoke up
"Host, are you going to the Qingyu Sect?"
"Mhm"
"Host, your Inner Strength is injured. If you can avoid clashing with others, do so to prevent your condition from worsening."
"Okay"
After acknowledging, Su Yan flew towards the Qingyu Sect.
Due to the injury to her Inner Strength, Su Yan would stop to rest every so often during her flight.
By the time she landed near the Qingyu Sect’s Treasure Pavilion, the sky had turned pitch dark.
She stood in the woods.
Her eyes pierced through the trees, gazing at the seven-tiered Floating Tower.
Above it, three big characters stood out
’Treasure Pavilion’
It was unknown if it was because it was night or for some other reason, but this night, the Qingyu Sect was unusually quiet.
She did not delay for long, directly leaping up to the second floor, pushed open the window with her Inner Strength, and went inside.
It was very quiet within.
Xiao Hua said
"Host, that Star Python Technique is located on the top floor."
She leaped up swiftly.
She did not cast an extra glance at the treasures filling the building.
Ever since arriving at this place, Su Yan had not uttered a single word.
And her actions had become especially swift and efficient.
She found the bookshelf where the secret manuals were on the seventh floor.
Searching one by one.
The Star Python Technique, although a rare Superior Technique, could be cultivated by a Snake Demon.
Therefore, it was not considered a particularly precious treasure in the Cultivation World.
After the time it took to brew a pot of tea.
She finally halted in front of a bookshelf.
Pulled out a well-preserved secret manual.
On it were clearly written the three large characters ’Star Python Technique’.
She drew out the manual and without a moment’s hesitation turned and flew out of the window, ready to leave.
But just then...
"Who?!"
A woman’s sharp cry came from the bottom of the Treasure Pavilion.
Following that, a cold and detached man standing next to the woman swiftly launched an attack towards Su Yan.
Su Yan kept retreating, her Longsword in hand, clashing directly with the man.
The man’s swordplay was fierce, with precise and deadly moves.
Su Yan’s counterattacks were unpredictable, using moves the man had never seen, each aimed at vital points.
For a moment, the two actually fought to a standstill.
While they battled, a pitiful scream originated from the Qingyu Sect’s main hall, and a great fire was burning.
When Su Yan made out the person before her, it was clear that this adversary recognized her too.
The man hesitated in his attack, appearing somewhat surprised.
Su Yan bent her arm holding the Longsword with a swoosh!
The Longsword just skimmed past the man’s neck.
Forced back, the man fell from the top of the tower.
There was no particular expression on Su Yan’s face.
She just stood above, glancing down at the man.
Then turned around.
But her chest suddenly hurt again.
She rested one hand against the wall and clutched the spot over her heart with the other.
Her Inner Strength inside her body was in turmoil.
Bowing her head, she glanced down at the people beneath the Treasure Pavilion, who seemed to be gathering here.
She leaped up, re-entering the Treasure Pavilion.
Below the Treasure Pavilion, Xue Lang’s expression was cold and complex, his Longsword stabbed into the ground to stabilize his body.
The woman who had been watching the fight from below hurried over
"Xue Lang, are you alright?"
With furrowed brows, the woman asked,
"Who is that person? Even you couldn’t beat them?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Xue Lang hung his head for a long time.
As if making some difficult decision.
The woman sensed Xue Lang’s unusual demeanor, and spoke up
"What happened?
Do you know that person?
Are they an enemy or someone who has shown you kindness?"
Xue Lang waited until his body was steady and then stood up.
He looked at the beautiful woman before him,
"Sheng Rou, aren’t you looking for the Star Shining Technique? Let’s go."
With that, as if nothing had happened, he walked towards the inside of the Treasure Pavilion.
