I Possessed a Demon Sovereign-Chapter 50

Chapter 50

When Chen Luoyang said those words, all of the Demon Cult members in the main hall were astonished. Ying Qingqing being proficient in the Clear Sky Divine Sword was something that not everyone knew. However, when they heard that the Sword Pavilion members crippled Ying Qingqing’s martial dao cultivation, the Demon Cult experts were all in a din.

It wasn’t because they were concerned for Ying Qingqing; it was because this young lady was personally requested by their cult master, and they were even going to use the captured Xie Xingmang to do the exchange. Right now, the Sword Pavilion actually played a trick to humiliate their cult master. It was obvious that the Demon Cult members wouldn’t tolerate it.

There were only a few of the people that knew of the facts, people like Xiao Yuntian, Vajra, and the others. They felt that it was unbelievable when they heard Chen Luoyang’s words.

If Ying Qingqing was proficient in the Sword Sovereign’s unique absolute art, Clear Sky Divine Sword, it meant that her relation to the Sword Sovereign and the Sword Pavilion was definitely not simple. It was a sword dao that not even the Sword Pavilion Five Heroes had ever learned. If someone said that Ying Qingqing had learned it secretly, it would be the same as looking down on the Sword Sovereign.

Therefore, Ying Qingqing was definitely closely related to the Sword Pavilion, but Shi Jing, Nie Hua, and the others actually crippled her cultivation? Were they worried that Ying Qingqing would help with the Demon Sovereign’s recuperation? Putting aside the fact whether their cult master required her help, even if he really did require her help, did they really make such a ruthless move on Ying Qingqing? If they said it was Sixth Prince Li Tai who did it, they might believe it.

While being watched by everyone, Ying Qingqing remained still and silent.

Chen Luoyang’s expression was calm, and there weren’t any emotions. “According to the letter, there is a method to reinstate your sword dao cultivation, but This Seat has to release their brother first.”

The Demon Cult members’ heightened emotions had calmed down a little after hearing Chen Luoyang’s words. They then turned to look at their cult master.

Chen Luoyang’s current feelings were actually… at a loss.

This isn’t right! When I looked at Shi Jing’s life experiences, it didn’t mention him crippling Ying Qingqing’s Clear Sky Divine Sword. If he did something, it was something else.

[Agreed to Li Tai’s proposal for Ying Qingqing to consume the Soul Fright Elixir, but he demanded the antidote in advance and prepared to hand it over to Ying Qingqing.]

The intention was clear. It was to infuriate the Demon Cult Master, to force the Cult Master to come over and obtain the antidote. It would force Chen Luoyang to leave the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage, luring him away from the palace.

However, there was a new update: [After seeing Ying Qingqing and having a discussion, they didn’t use the Soul Fright Elixir.]

There was nothing else afterwards.

Chen Luoyang actually felt curious and didn’t know why the opposition would actually come up with such a bad idea as using the poison first. As a result, they came up with this new act. It was truly nonsensical.

If there wasn’t a need to uphold the Cult Master’s prestige in front of everyone, Chen Luoyang’s actual reaction after reading the letter would be a stupefied expression. The information provided by the black pot didn’t state this at all. Even though the effect was actually similar to the proposal of letting Ying Qingqing consume poison.

After a momentary astonishment, Chen Luoyang gradually understood.

“After seeing Ying Qingqing…”

This was the flaw of the information stated in the life experiences: there weren’t enough details in certain areas. However, this also meant that when they met with Ying Qingqing again, they changed their idea. It was because there was a method to replace the poison, and that was to disperse her cultivation. But who was the one that did it? Apart from the Sword Sovereign, there was only one other person…

Chen Luoyang had a composed expression while he sized up Ying Qingqing with rather amused eyes. However, he didn’t expose it. Shi Jing, Nie Hua, and the others probably didn’t know that this young lady who lost her memory was far more mysterious than they could ever imagine. Her value wasn’t limited to just the Clear Sky Divine Sword.

Furthermore, she had already completed her task for now, helping him to give them a taste of their own medicine…

Things might be a little out of expectation, but it wouldn’t affect the rest of the plan. Chen Luoyang just had to go with the flow and beat them at their own game.

Shi Jing and Nie Hua were really putting in a lot of effort and carrying the burden on their backs. As disciples of the Sword Sovereign, they might not have learned the Clear Sky Divine Sword, but in the entire Grand Divine Province, apart from the Sword Sovereign and Ying Qingqing, the ones who were most familiar with the Clear Sky Divine Sword were definitely the five disciples.

Outsiders could only choose to believe that they were able to cripple Ying Qingqing’s Clear Sky Divine Sword’s cultivation while having a method to restore it as well. Of course, the main objective was still to infuriate the Demon Sovereign and to lure him out. Afterwards, the other party would then have the opportunity to enter.

Chen Luoyang laughed in his heart and acted as though nothing was wrong. He asked in a dull tone, “Tianheng, does the Sword Pavilion Xie kid have a left sword hand or a right sword hand?”

His tone was calm, and there wasn’t any trace of anger, but the hearts of Ying Qingqing and the others instantly felt a chill.

“Reporting to Cult Master, he is a right-hander,” Zhang Tianheng answered.

“Sever it.”

As Chen Luoyang gave his instructions, he unhurriedly stood up from his throne and said, “Vajra will stay behind to take care of Young Lady Qingqing. Tianheng will carry out my instructions. The rest of the people here will accompany This Seat.”

While speaking, he walked out of the main hall. Xiao Yuntian, Shangguan Song, Elder Mingjing, and the other Demon Cult experts quickly followed behind.

Ying Qingqing’s lips moved a little and let out a soft sigh. Be it her dispersing her cultivation or being inflicted with poison or anything else, it was part of the plan to infuriate the Demon Sovereign and lure him away.

The possible consequence was that Xie Xingmang might perish. This was something that Shi Jing and the others weren’t certain of.

Now that he could keep his life, it was already very fortunate. However, could Shi Jing and the others really rescue Xie Xingmang? Ying Qingqing turned to look at the departing Chen Luoyang and felt uncertainty in her heart.

When Chen Luoyang exited the palace, a flood dragon immediately flew down from the mountain and landed in front of him. The Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage was indeed flashy, but the speed was a little slow. He was currently standing on the flood dragon, and it soared through the sky with extreme speed. A second flood dragon flew over to carry Xiao Yuntian and the others to follow Chen Luoyang closely.

The Great Xia Empire’s martial master who escorted Ying Qingqing didn’t dare to resist and was forced to lead the way. The two flood dragons quickly arrived above the opposition’s camp. This place was already empty, and there was a line of words carved on the cliff: “It is a fair trade, Demon Sovereign. Please quell your anger.”

Chen Luoyang had an expressionless face.

On the side, Xiao Yuntian’s face changed a little and said, “Cult Master, it seems like it is the Hidden Dragon Illusion Array, please allow this subordinate to attempt to break the illusion array.”

Alright, you have succeeded in luring me away. I should also have lured the snake out of the cave, right?

Chen Luoyang laughed in his heart.

…

Inside the main hall of the Demon Sovereign’s traveling palace, Vajra chuckled and said, “Young Lady Qingqing, please follow me.”

Ying Qingqing said, “I thank Sir Vajra for the trouble.”

She felt a little strange. Logically speaking, it should be more convenient for the Cult Master’s Chief Attendant Madam Yi to tend to her. However, she was nowhere to be seen. She followed Vajra, but she wasn’t led to the guest room to rest. Instead, she was led to a secret tunnel to leave the palace.

“Sir Vajra…” Ying Qingqing was filled with suspicion.

Vajra laughed and said, “Young Lady doesn’t have to worry. The enemy’s schemes aren’t able to escape Cult Master’s brilliant mind.”

He escorted Ying Qingqing far away from the palace. Shortly after, Ying Qingqing’s attention was attracted by the commotion that was far away. There was a golden light that rapidly approached the palace.

Once the golden light was closer, one could see that it was an image of an illusory giant eagle. When the golden eagle landed and revealed its true form, it was a person in the Other Tribe’s attire.

“That is one of the Ten Gallants under the Other Tribe’s Left Sage King, ‘Golden Eagle’ Murong Xing.” Vajra smiled and continued the introduction. “Over there, is ‘Ghost Sword’ Guo Ninglong.”

Ying Qingqing turned over and saw another man in black clothes who was wielding a sword and also rushing towards the palace. However, her attention was quickly drawn towards another direction. Over there was a frail and petite man who was covered in a black cloak, and he was slowly walking over.

He coughed violently with each step, and it felt like an evil wind from a ghostly prison.
