Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 300 - 105: Heart-breaking Lotus Array

"Wow! So the ancestor Zhenyang went to the Northern Wilderness to build such a grand Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion for his wife? How romantic!"

Fang Xue looked up in amazement, while Yun Wu’s eyes were misty, thinking this man was so deeply affectionate, even better looking than the heroes in storybooks.

But why does this Immortal Mansion resemble the place we are in now?

Could it be... the same place?

"Why did the Immortal Mansion built for his wife turn into a relic?"

Yun Wu was perplexed. Liu Su, beside her, sneered, "If the story was truly about a family of three living in seclusion, how could the Cyan Lotus Sect be reduced to the Demon Sect?"

In the picture, Sheng Tanglian covered her mouth in delight and threw herself into Zhenyang’s embrace:

"Husband, I’ll go back first, pass the Cyan Lotus Sect leadership to Su Qin, and once I’ve settled everything, I’ll return to find you."

Zhenyang paused, then said softly, "My dear, the Cyan Lotus Sect is now the leading sect among Eastern Cultivators, the position of Sect Leader is so vital, why entrust it to an outsider? How about giving it to me, I’ll manage it, you can live here peacefully and focus on giving birth to our child Yue."

Sheng Tanglian was stunned, looking up at Zhenyang. He quickly explained:

"My dear, I’m now an elder of the True Yang Sect, how could I covet the position of the Cyan Lotus Sect? But since the Cyan Lotus Sect is something you poured your heart into building, entrusting it to others indeed makes me uneasy. I just want to share the burden with you."

"If you feel it’s inappropriate, I’ll temporarily manage the sect affairs for you. Once you’ve given birth to our child Yue and recovered, you can return to the Cyan Lotus Sect to preside over the big picture, how about it?"

Sheng Tanglian’s eyebrows softened, gently caressing Zhenyang’s face:

"Husband, it’s not that I doubt you, but Su Qin has always been with me, within the sect the only person they will listen to apart from me is her. Even if you carry the Sect Leader’s Seal, it might instead provoke their suspicion. I don’t want any conflict between you and my sect members."

Zhenyang’s disappointment flashed past his eyes and then he smiled warmly:

"I was inconsiderate. Let’s do as you say. Come, I’ll take you inside for a look."

Sheng Tanglian’s eyes were filled with her husband’s smile, softly agreeing, she held Zhenyang’s hand and followed him through the enormous stone gates.

Soon they walked through the same passage that Qin Gengyun and others entered, although the passage in the picture was not as run-down and desolate as today.

Softly lit Everlasting Lamps were hanging on both sides, and numerous paintings stuck on the walls depicted scenes from Sheng Tanglian and Zhenyang’s life together.

"Husband, this is..."

Sheng Tanglian was pleasantly surprised, Zhenyang smiled and said:

"These are all the paintings I made; our journey of meeting, knowing, and loving each other which we can slowly enjoy and reminisce about in the future."

Sheng Tanglian’s eyes glistened with tears, evidently very moved.

"Tsk-tsk, truly a top-class scoundrel, any woman would hardly resist being moved."

Liu Su ground her teeth, yet had to admire him, while Ye Xiyue coldly said:

"That’s my ancestor Zhenyang you’re talking about, mind your manners!"

"Heh." Liu Su sneered, saying no more.

In the image, Sheng Tanglian and Zhenyang had already walked out of the picturesque corridor into the immense hall of the Immortal Mansion where everyone currently stood.

A giant sculpture stood tall, its facial features vivid and lifelike, exactly mirroring Sheng Tanglian.

Sheng Tanglian clasped her hands at her chest, tears finally fell from her eyes, her face full of happiness and joy.

"Husband, why did you build such a huge sculpture for me again? It’s such a laborious task!"

Zhenyang gently embraced her from behind, speaking softly: "My dear, in the eyes of cultivators, you are the brightest star we’ve had in thousands of years, but in my eyes, you are the Divine Maiden herself. The statue on Mutang Mountain in Xingluo Village is too small, this one truly resembles you."

"Husband..."

She nestled into his arms, feeling infinite tenderness and tranquility.

In the next moment, a sudden upheaval!

Thunk!

The sword tip penetrated Sheng Tanglian’s chest, her face turned ashen, her spiritual power surged and she pushed Zhenyang away.

The heavily pregnant woman looked down in disbelief at the sword piercing her chest, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, she turned back to stare dazedly at Zhenyang.

"Husband, you, you... why?"

Zhenyang’s face no longer carried affection, only brutality and greed, he shouted harshly:

"Sheng Tanglian, you forced me!"

Sheng Tanglian clutched her chest with one hand, protected her belly with the other, her face filled with disbelief and agony:

"Forced you? Husband, I passed on cultivation techniques to you, forged magical artifacts for you, helped you become an elder of the True Yang Sect, and I’m about to give you a child, when have I ever forced you?"

"Shut up!"

Zhenyang yelled grimly, glaring coldly at Sheng Tanglian:

"Originally, I was just a mere loose cultivator wanting nothing but peaceful cultivation, but you insisted on tangling with me, teaching me cultivation techniques, letting me glimpse the path to ascension."

"I didn’t want to remain a mere loose cultivator forever. I wanted to stand at the pinnacle like you, overlooking everyone! I fought and practiced hard, finally getting into the True Yang Sect, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple."

"Later I found out it was all arranged by you. Others gave me entry into the True Yang Sect for your sake, they all said I was a worthless wretch, that without you I am nothing!"

"Even your subordinates, Su Qin, Jinglian, Hongxue, they all look down on me!"

"Why?!"

"Everything I achieved today, I earned myself! I not only want to be an elder, I want to be the Sect Leader of both True Yang Sect and Cyan Lotus Sect!"

"I want to lead all the Eastern Cultivators! I want everyone who looked down on me to kneel before me!!"

"But you? You always refuse to hand over Cyan Lotus Sect to me, claiming your affection, a mere Sect Leader’s Seal, yet you won’t part with it!"

"You’re just like the others, inherently looking down on me, heh, Sheng Tanglian, you just treat me as a plaything!"

Sheng Tanglian stared blankly at the hysterical Zhenyang, blood spilling from her mouth, she asked bitterly:

"So it was all fake, you truly hate me this much... This sword is merely an upper-grade magical artifact, can’t kill me, why don’t you use the Heaven-Reaching Staff?"

Zhenyang’s fury intensified: "You think I don’t want to? The Heaven-Reaching Staff doesn’t heed me, unwilling to attack you! Sheng Tanglian, you’re just a feigned woman, the things you give me can be taken back anytime, you’ve never been sincere with me!"

Thunk!

Sheng Tanglian spewed a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, muttering:

"I was wrong, Master, I misjudged him, I’m wrong..."

Ah!!

Suddenly, Sheng Tanglian roared skyward, the sword piercing her chest was forced out, an overwhelming spiritual power blew Zhenyang away!

Zhenyang hit the gigantic Divine Maiden statue, spitting blood, he yelled in panic:

"Form the array!"

In an instant, dozens of True Yang Sect cultivators flew in from outside, forming a sword array to encircle her.

"Heart-breaking Lotus Array!"

Ye Xiyue’s eyes glimmered, she knew this as the most famous sword array of the Zhenyang Sect.

Beside her, Fang Xue also recognized it, saying in disbelief:

"According to sect records, the Heart-breaking Lotus Array is the Demon Extermination Array, who would have thought, it’s actually Zhenyang’s wife-killing and power-seizing array!"
