Chapter 0289 – Stone Piercing – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

The joy of the aftermath of the calamity, coupled with the appearance of the two great Demon Lords, caused Qin Xiaoling’s heart to beat faster and faster.

Whether it was the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon holding a huge sword and standing aside, or the Fist Demon walking slowly, all of them made her feel incomparably fearful.

"They are the Devil Cult’s Devil Dharma ……" Qin Xia Ling secretly said in her heart.

Prior to this, her understanding of the Devil Sect only remained in the rumors, only knowing that they were ferocious and vicious and did no evil. And the only person from the Devil Cult that she had really come into contact with was Jian Wuji, a young and handsome Devil Cult Young Sect Master who liked to joke around.

But today, she had finally seen the true Demon Cult.

The Fist Demon walked up to her, that hideous face sending shivers down her spine, but she tried to maintain her composure as she saluted the two of them, "Many thanks to the two seniors for saving her life."

"This favor, I will definitely repay."

Although she was afraid of these two demonic djinn, she didn’t hate them.

The two Demon Elders merely nodded slightly and did not take credit for their work.

If she let her brother know that she had a crush on the Demon Cult’s Demon Lord, he would definitely scold her for being crazy.

After she thanked the two Demon Elders, she looked at Li An again.

She knew how much Li An had just risked in order to save her, and she had actually fallen from the sky while holding that huge knife, and, moreover, that huge knife, had killed so many black-clothed men.

Worthy of being a disciple of the Demon Lord, he was even so brazen.

Li An unlocked her acupoints and said with a smile, "Friend, we agreed to play together, how can you miss your appointment?"

Qin Xia-ling had never felt that the word "friend" was so beautiful and warm.

She touched her face and said, "It’s not because of you that I broke my face."

"Then later, I’ll take you to see the rest of the scenery." Li An said.

Qin Xia Ling knew that Li An was not flaunting her beauty, but genuinely wanted to help her, and the reason she was so strong was because she never relied on her beauty, but on her strength.

She wants to learn from Li An, from today onwards, she is no longer the "No. 1 Beauty in Hubei", but the "No. 1 Sword in Hubei", she wants to work hard towards the goal of "No. 1 Sword in the World", she will never put herself in such a dangerous situation again. She will never put herself in such a dangerous situation again.

This experience also taught her a lesson:

Never give up until the last minute.

If she had given up her resistance just now and chose to wait for death, then she might have died before Li An and the two Demon Elders arrived.

It was because she persevered to the end that she waited for the hope of life.

Divine providence, always favors those who never give up.

Just then, a figure, like lightning, fell from the sky.

"Swish!"

Jian Wuji performed his "Quick Step" and arrived in front of them.

He looked around and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Xia Ling was unharmed.

"It came really fast, if you guys hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid I would have already died." Qin Xia Ling said with a smile.

"That’s why I befriended them." Jian Wuji laughed.

He looked towards the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon and the Fist Demon with gratitude in his eyes.

He had entrusted Qin Xia Ling’s safety and well-being to them, and they had not let him down.

"Two seniors, hard work." Jian Wuji said.

"You kid, don’t talk so much here." The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon said, "Where have you run off to? Causing us to look for you."

"Aren’t I here?" Jian Wuji laughed.

Fist Demon walked up to Jian Wuji and asked, "Are you injured?"

"I’m fine, it’s not my blood." Jian Wuji said.

The Fist Demon nodded and said nothing more.

As Qin Xia Ling watched the interaction between them, she finally understood why Jian Wuji was able to become the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, he did not rely on force to conquer the Eight Devil Sovereigns, but rather, he relied on sincerity and trust to turn them into his friends.

The way the Blood Sky Blade Demon and Fist Demon looked at Jian Wuji was like the way her grandfather looked at her, and like the way her brother looked at her, full of care and trust.

She finally realized that the person who had truly saved her was not Li An and the two Demon Elders, but rather Jian Wuji, and if it wasn’t for Jian Wuji, they wouldn’t have appeared here at all.

"I actually owe the Devil Cult twice for saving my life, what a disgrace." Qin Xia Ling laughed at herself.

Jian Wuji and Li An both laughed at his words.

"Two seniors, you guys go back to the stronghold first, I’ll send Miss Qin back to the Martial Alliance." Jian Wuji said.

"Are things all settled?" Blood Sky Blade Demon asked.

"Not yet, I have one more thing to confirm." Jian Wuji said.

He had to confirm whether the extermination of the Mu Tian family was really related to Qin Batian.

Although he felt that Qin Batian shouldn’t have done such a thing, but if he was being framed, that would be a different story.

He looked at the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance in the distance and said in his heart:

"This time, maybe it really is time to run away."

Qin Xiajun hurried into the Alliance Master’s hall.

Qin Batian stood by the window, looking into the distance, and when he heard footsteps, he turned around and asked, "How’s it going? Any news?"

"I mobilized the Demon Extermination Team and searched all around East Lake, but I still haven’t found Xia Ling." Qin Xiajun said, "On the side of the Green Dragon Hall, is there still no news?"

Qin Batian shook his head.

"What about the Flying Tiger Regiment?" Qin Xiajun asked.

Qin Batian still shook his head.

The elite forces of the Martial Arts Alliance had been deployed, but they still hadn’t found Qin Xia Ling’s whereabouts.

Bo Qianjing also did not make any demands, as if he had evaporated.

Qin Batian’s heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"How about …… making this matter public?" Qin Xiajun proposed.

Now, they could only search in secret, with a limited scope, and if the matter was publicized, there might be witnesses who could provide clues.

However, Qin Batian shook his head and said, "No, if those petty people know that Xia Ling has been taken away, they will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos."

Qin Xiajun said in his heart: if people in the jianghu knew that the granddaughter of the Martial Arts League’s master, was actually taken away, then the face of the Martial Arts League, where does it exist?

He was worried that his grandfather would blame him for this, but he had overthought it, Qin Batian was not the type to shirk his responsibilities.

"On Sword Wuji’s side, is there any news yet?" Qin Xiajun asked.

Qin Batian nodded and didn’t say anything.

Now, they could only place their hopes, on Jian Wuji.

However, in Qin Xiajun’s heart, he was becoming more and more uneasy.

"Could …… I really be cheated?" Qin Xiajun said in his heart.

If this was all a conspiracy by Jian Wuji, what should be done?

It was as if he had seen the image of his sister being imprisoned by Jian Wuji, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.

His sister was the only family he had, the only person in the world he could pour his heart out to.

He had never thought that he would lose his sister, but now, the possibility, was growing.

What would become of his life, if he lost his sister?

Qin Batian, on the other hand, was thinking about something else.

"He said that only he can save Xia Ling." Qin Batian said in his heart.

Qin Xiajun could feel that his grandfather had developed trust in Jian Wuji.

At first, when he had learned of Qin Xia Ling’s captivity and hurried back, his grandfather did not believe in Jian Wuji.

When he asked who had taken Qin Xia Ling captive, this was how the grandfather replied:

"It’s either Sword Wuji or Bo Qianjing."

Then, he looked at Qin Xiajun and asked:

"Who do you think it is?"

At that time, Qin Batian didn’t completely trust Sword Wuji, and he still held a sliver of hope that the people from the Martial Arts Alliance would be able to find Qin Xia Ling.
