Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Qin Gengyun’s eyes widened as he looked at Xia Qinglian, who wore a spring-like expression, and murmured:

"Darling, are you a witch or a fairy?"

Xia Qinglian’s eyes were seductive, her soft body pressed against his chest:

"To enemies, I am a witch; to mortals, I am a fairy. To you... I am whatever you wish me to be."

Hearing such provocative words from his otherwise stern wife, Qin Gengyun felt a rush of heat, but he managed to retain a shred of clarity.

After all, they were in the council hall, not their bedchamber.

Sure enough, hurried voices came from outside.

"Master, Master!"

The two quickly separated, with Xia Qinglian sitting up straight, regaining her cold composure.

Liu Xiaotang rushed in, completely oblivious to the enchanting atmosphere, and hastily informed them:

"Master, Uncle Qin, the Zhenyang Sect has announced to the world that in three days, a Grand Unification Ceremony will be held at the Zhenyang Sect!"

"A Grand Unification Ceremony?" Qin Gengyun was puzzled.

Xue Wu came in next, followed by Xue Wen and others.

"Saintess, Brother Qin, it seems Chen Qingmo has already subdued the Thunder Sword Sect. The Grand Unification Ceremony must signify the unification of the three sects."

Qin Gengyun nodded: "It should be, for Chen Qingmo to display power to the world. His cultivation is extraordinary and well-hidden, not even appearing on the Ascension Chart. Now, his sudden prominence worries me that his objective is not just the Three Great Sects."

Mo Xiaolan frowned: "He’s captured Yiren and Su Xin, yet who knows what he intends to do?"

Xia Qinglian asked Wei Wan, "You know him best, what kind of person is Chen Qingmo?"

Everyone looked at Wei Wan, as Chen Qingmo could be considered her "adoptive father."

Wei Wan’s expression shifted, pondering for a moment before she said gravely:

"I think he is not Chen Qingmo."

Liu Su looked horrified: "Are you saying the real Chen Qingmo is dead, and this one is an impostor?"

Wei Wan shook her head: "It’s hard to say. He took me from the village as a child, and whenever I’m close, I always detect a strange smell, like..."

Wei Wan thought for a moment, hesitated, then continued:

"The scent of decaying corpses."

"Decaying corpses?" Everyone exchanged glances, and Liu Su seemed even more horrified:

"Could this guy possibly be possessing a dead body?!"

Wei Wan said: "The smell is faint, and I’ve observed Chen Qingmo’s skin appears normal, not like that of a dead person."

Xia Qinglian and Qin Gengyun exchanged a glance, and Qin Gengyun said:

"When we were in the Zhenyang Sect, we sneaked into Chen Qingmo’s Immortal Mansion and found a piece of Colorful Bone in a secret chamber."

"It should be the remains of Elder Xia Jinglian from the Cyan Lotus Sect five hundred years ago, yet this Colorful Bone was damaged, and the image it projected was incomplete."

"A month later, Xiao Lan, Junior Sister Xu, and I ascended the Immortal Flying Pavilion, obtained the Holy Nether Water, and repaired Elder Xia Jinglian’s remains. Perhaps we can uncover the truth from five hundred years ago."

Five hundred years ago, Zhenyang abducted Zhu Yinrong from Celestial Phoenix Mountain, and now Zhu Yinrong is dead, leaving only the Black Phoenix.

And the Black Phoenix gave birth to Cheng Qingyu with Chen Qingmo.

It seems all the inexplicable mysteries now point to Chen Qingmo.

After some discussion, everyone found it difficult to unravel the intricacies.

Xue Wu said: "With Chen Qingmo uniting the Three Great Sects, Zhenyang Sect will surely command worldwide respect. We cannot be unprepared."

Qin Gengyun pondered for a moment, then spoke gravely: "Since Chen Qingmo can organize a Grand Unification Ceremony, we can hold an Opening Mountain Ceremony at Cyan Lotus Mountain."

"While he has power, we have momentum."

Xue Wu’s eyes lit up: "We can invite cultivators from across the land. At that time, we can observe the Four Domains’ attitude towards us, thus distinguishing friend from foe. Brother Qin, your plan is excellent!"

Xue Wen also agreed: "This is a good idea, but how should we widely invite cultivators across the land? Send messengers to the Four Domains?"

Xia Qinglian suddenly stood up, "Liu Su, Xiaowu."

"Coming!"

Liu Su cheerfully responded, and a light blue eye appeared above her head. The Mist Spirit Eye glowed, transforming into a giant map.

"Is this... a map of the Four Domains of Hongzhou?"

Everyone looked closely and immediately exclaimed in astonishment, with Qin Gengyun turning to Xia Qinglian:

"Darling, your wounds aren’t healed. You shouldn’t expend Spiritual Power!"

But countless arrows formed from Spiritual Power had already materialized around Xia Qinglian, remarkably similar to the Spiritual Power Flying Arrows Chen Qingmo had sent from afar.

The difference was that Xia Qinglian’s Spiritual Power Flying Arrows were surrounded by frost and red flame, with a lotus flower on the arrow.

Most astonishingly, these arrows densely surrounded Xia Qinglian, numbering roughly over a hundred at a glance!

Xue Wu murmured: "The Four Domains of Hongzhou, with over three hundred sects large and small... Is the Saintess planning to send messages to every sect with flying arrows? But that consumes too much Spiritual Power?"

"Darling, stop!"

Qin Gengyun quickly stopped Xia Qinglian. She had just created over a hundred Spiritual Power Flying Arrows, and her face was already pale. If she formed two hundred more, he feared she wouldn’t be able to bear it.

"Ah~~~"

Beside them, Yun Wu opened her mouth, ahhhing and releasing rich Spiritual Energy that enveloped Xia Qinglian.

Yun Wu’s actions left the Cyan Lotus Sect members stupefied.

"This, this Xiaowu girl can exhale Spiritual Energy?"

"What is her origin?"

Xia Qinglian waved her hand, and the hundred arrows swiftly shot into the map created by the Mist Spirit Eye, each flying towards different sects.

Then Xia Qinglian absorbed the Spiritual Energy Yun Wu exhaled, creating countless more Spiritual Power Flying Arrows to send into the map again.

After repeating this process three times, only Zhenyang Mountain remained.

Xia Qinglian’s expression was icy as she formed an arrow thicker than the Heaven-Reaching Staff, smirked, and shot it towards Zhenyang Mountain!

"Done!"

Liu Su chuckled and put away the Mist Spirit Eye, her face slightly pale.

Clearly, she had also depleted quite a bit.

Xia Qinglian calmly looked at the astonished crowd and said softly:

"We’ll change course to Cyan Lotus Mountain tomorrow. Everyone should rest."

Xue Wen wanted to speak but was pulled away by Liu Xiaotang, and Xue Wu also left with members of the Cyan Lotus Sect.

Mo Xiaolan looked worriedly at Xia Qinglian but said nothing, supporting Liu Su as she left with Yun Wu, Wei Wan, and others.

Once everyone had left, Xia Qinglian’s figure wavered slightly, and Qin Gengyun hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Xia Qinglian smiled:

"Husband, I’m fine. With Xiaowu’s replenishment of Spiritual Power, I’m just a bit tired."

Qin Gengyun’s expression was stern: "I stopped you earlier, why didn’t you listen? You’re still injured. Even with Xiaowu supplementing Spiritual Power, your meridians and Spirit Field will eventually suffer damage."

Chen Qingmo’s single Long-distance Spiritual Power Flying Arrow was already shocking, while Xia Qinglian released over three hundred in one go.

The Spiritual Power and Primordial Qi exhausted in this are beyond comparison.

Xia Qinglian’s face was pale, yet she wore an expression of pride:

"Chen Qingmo wants to show his might with a single arrow, so I’ll show him what sending messages with flying arrows truly means!"

"Darling, you’re so strong-willed, yet disregard your health and don’t heed advice, so I have no choice but to..."

Smack!

"Ah! Husband, you..."

Smack! Smack!
