Chapter 95: First Steps on the Demonic Path (7)
Su Chen's expression remained unchanged. "So that's how it is. Senior Sister Luo and I are practically family."
Luo Hongying nodded with a soft laugh. "When I returned to the sect and learned that Junior Brother Zhou had become a true disciple, I was genuinely shocked. After some investigation, I discovered you are the surviving son of my former teachers. In just over two years, you rose from an ordinary outer disciple straight to true disciple status. Truly…"
Before she could finish, Su Chen flicked his sleeve. Sword qi surged forth, aimed straight at Luo Hongying's neck. She did not move a muscle. The faint smile stayed fixed on her lips.
Su Chen held back from completing the strike. This woman was far too calm!
Luo Hongying casually smoothed a stray lock of hair that had fallen across her face. "Junior Brother, no need to get excited. Your senior sister simply stumbled upon a few little secrets by chance. If you kill me now… those secrets will spread across the entire sect by tomorrow morning. I'm sure you wouldn't want your secrets laid bare for all to see."
Su Chen waved his sleeve again, retracting the sword qi. He had never expected the remnants of the Primordial Remnant Clan to be so unreliable that they left behind such a glaring loose end. If his true identity were exposed now, he would die without even a grave.
"Speak. What exactly do you want me to do?"
Luo Hongying had uncovered a trace of something and chosen to keep it secret, coming here alone. Was it truly because of his parents—to offer a warning?
Su Chen was no fool. For a woman to climb to true disciple status in a demonic sect like the Sun-Devouring Sacred Land, she had to be someone who devoured others without spitting out the bones. A few words of mentorship from her teachers, or even personally slaying those same teachers—if the profit was sufficient, she would act without hesitation.
