Chapter 280 - 275: Heroine and Demoness
Though Yin Shaochen and Leng Zhao Yue managed to escape successfully, Yin Shaochen’s reputation plummeted rapidly in the martial world. The Young Manor Lord of Chongjian Manor was actually consorting with a Demoness, and everyone looked upon it with disdain, such that even Chongjian Manor itself began to suffer a tarnished reputation in the martial world.
As the sole heir of Chongjian Manor, could Yin Tianhe really sever ties with his son? Having repeatedly escaped with the Demoness, could it truly be that Chongjian Manor had not lent a hand?
Gradually, these doubts began to spread in the martial world, and when some sects discussed the pursuit of the Demon Sect, they intentionally avoided involving the forces of Chongjian Manor.
Yin Tianhe racked his brains over these matters. In order to restore his own reputation, he had no choice but to put Chongjian Manor at the forefront of the campaign to annihilate the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect, having suffered a major blow, also regarded Chongjian Manor as a prime enemy. Gradually, in the back-and-forth with the Demon Sect, the major sects began to realize that Chongjian Manor’s actual power was much greater than they had initially anticipated.
Since when did Yin Tianhe have so many men at his command!
The hearts of the various sects wavered, and at the same time, they silently drew a distance from Chongjian Manor.
At this moment, in a rarely-trodden suburb, this couple who had stirred the waves of the entire martial world was hiding in a desolate temple outside the city.
"Shaochen, it’s my fault that you’re implicated," Leng Zhao Yue, severely wounded and pale, lay in Yin Shaochen’s arms, "If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had a falling-out with your father, nor would you have been misunderstood by the people in the martial world."
"Don’t talk anymore." Yin Shaochen tenderly channeled his Inner Strength into Leng Zhao Yue, "I want to believe that you have nothing to do with the Demon Sect, and we will surely find evidence to clear your name."
"It’s no use." Leng Zhao Yue coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood, "I’m gravely injured, I’m afraid it’s too late for me. I can’t drag you down with me, Shaochen, hand me over, you’re renowned in the martial world as the Gentleman Sword, you shouldn’t be misunderstood because of me."
"That won’t happen, you will be fine, we’ll find someone who can cure you." Yin Shaochen was resolute, continuously infusing Leng Zhao Yue with Inner Strength. Her heart meridian was injured, and before they could find a cure, this was the only way to preserve her life.
