Seeing that Yue Qian did not answer, Gou Liang asked again, "Yue Qian, are you willing to come with me?"
Yue Qian's mind buzzed, the beautiful memories of the past were still vivid in his mind.
His arrogance, his mood swings, his laughter and anger, his emphasis on food, his laziness, his fondness for hugging him, his fondness for pranks and teasing him, his fondness for seeing his exasperated and helpless appearance … … all of this, in Yue Qian's eyes, was the best.
After two years of being together, he could not be more clear on how soft and beautiful Gou Liang's heart was.
He did not believe that Gou Liang was such a tyrannical person, and was even more unwilling to accept the fact that Gou Liang was the Demon Sect Leader. Even if he already had the worst guess in his mind, how could that crazy demon who killed people like scything flax be Gou Liang?
Or perhaps, if he had really killed many people for one reason or another, would he blame him for the suffering of others?
Yue Qian knew that he would not. In the face of righteousness, he was more willing to selfishly protect Gou Liang.
But … … what about his family? What about his sect?
What would he do with all this?
Yue Qian's lips trembled. Seeing Gou Liang's sorrowful eyes, he was almost about to agree.
Going with him to the ends of the earth, ignoring all these disputes, wasn't that what he wanted his entire life?
Situ Changtian saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Ye Gui — — no, Bao Jiu, give up! Yue Qian will not go with you. Since ancient times, good and evil have not coexisted. You used your lust to deceive him, and now you want to bewitch him into the Demon Sect! Your intentions are truly vicious! "
"Situ Shixiong, why waste words with him!"
Pavilion Master Ye shouted, "If you don't do it, my Sanskrit Pavilion will not let anyone from the Demonic Sect go, especially Bao Jiu!"
However, Chief Xia said, "Yue Qian, on that day, my son-in-law Mo Guanju was murdered in Nanshan. The murderer was wearing a red dress, and all the evidence pointed to Ye Gui. You were the one who forcefully covered up for him, and then ran away with this person, causing my son-in-law's death to be unclear! Let me ask you! Did you already know that he was Bao Jiu? Just because you have an affair with him, you're helping him do evil! "
Gou Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him.
Situ Changtian said sternly, "Junior Martial Brother Xia, don't spout nonsense! Yue Qian is young and has been deceived. Your words are too serious! "
Chief Xia snorted. "Senior Brother Situ, you don't have to be so harsh. I'm just stating facts."
"He slept with Bao Jiu every night. How could he not know that Bao Jiu is a man? Junior Martial Sister Ye, Junior Martial Brother Tang, you were also present that day. Did you personally hear Yue Qian say that he and Ye Gui had already done the deed of husband and wife, and vouched for him! Now it seems that he was not deceived, but rather colluded with him, right? Humph, if not for his forceful protection, Bao Jiu would have lost all his martial arts two years ago, and we could have easily gotten rid of this scourge. "
"But now? Not only has he recovered his martial arts, but his martial arts have also improved greatly! Presumably, Senior Brother Situ, this proud disciple of yours has contributed a lot, right? "
Situ Changtian was furious. "In this matter, my disciple is the biggest victim. You — —"
"Master."
Yue Qian gently interrupted him and stood in front of him.
He said, "According to Chief Xia's intentions, what should we do?"
Chief Xia did not answer. Instead, he asked Pavilion Master Ye and Pavilion Master Tang, "Bao Jiu acted under Ye Gui's name and misled the two of you that he was the son of an old friend. That was why when he murdered my son-in-law that day, the two of you came to plead for him. Now, have you clearly seen his true colors? Especially Junior Martial Brother Tang. That year, your elder brother was killed by Bao Shi, and the Nine Netherworld Secrets of the Netherworld was stolen from him. Bao Shi was also killed by him. I'm afraid that the secret manual is now in Bao Jiu's hands. "
Pavilion Master Tang's expression changed slightly.
Pavilion Master Ye said, "Senior Martial Brother Xia is right. That day, it was because he deliberately misled me that I thought he was my sister's son, Ye Gui! But I never thought that he was my son's murderer! Now that Bao Jiu is here, no matter who comes to stop me, I will definitely decapitate him today! "
Yue Qian opened his mouth to speak. Chief Xia immediately stared at him, "Does Martial Nephew Yue have any objections?"
Seeing that Yue Qian did not answer, Chief Xia said, "It seems that Martial Nephew Yue can't bear to part with your charming 'beloved wife'. This is the chief disciple of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect? You really make me look at you in a new light! "
Pavilion Master Tang said, "Martial Nephew Yue, don't be muddle-headed. Bao Shi harmed your entire family, and Bao Jiu helped the evildoers and killed countless people. You're so stubborn, aren't you afraid that your parents and brothers in the underworld will not be able to rest in peace! "
Yue Qian looked at them coldly, "What do you want me to do?"
"Kill him!"
Chief Xia shouted sternly, "Kill him with your own hands to make up for your mistakes! Otherwise, how can you face your sect and your dead relatives? "
Yue Qian's cold eyes quietly looked at him for a moment, then moved away and looked at Gou Liang.
He asked, "Back then, were you among the people who killed my parents?"
Gou Liang was startled, then laughed bitterly and said softly, "I don't know."
— — He had killed too many people, so many that he could not remember their names.
Yue Qian understood. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "You should leave."
Gou Liang frowned, but heard Yue Qian say, "Go, go back to your Demon Sect. When we meet again in the future, we will … be enemies."
[Ding! Target's favorability has been updated! Current favorability: 90!!]
Gou Liang's eyes widened in astonishment.
The pain hidden in Yue Qian's eyes was so obvious that no amount of coldness could hide it.
Gou Liang's heart ached. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard a woman's voice, "Husband, I heard that the Demon Sect came to cause trouble. How are they now — —"
Then, a strange wind that ordinary people could not distinguish came, heading straight for Jiang Su Xi!
It was the Nine Secrets of the Netherworld!
Seeing Chief Xia standing still, Gou Liang frowned and immediately ran towards her — —
"Su Xi, dodge!"
"Su Xi, be careful, he's Bao Jiu!!!"
Situ Bai and Boss Jiang shouted and immediately rushed over — —
However, whether it was them or Gou Liang, it was still too late.
"Ouch, it hurts … my child …"
A long crack appeared on her stomach, and blood gushed out. Gou Liang supported Jiang Su Xi, who had fallen to the ground, and pressed his hands on her stomach.
"Save, save …"
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Su Xi stopped breathing.
[Gou Liang: Xiao Si, exchange for a coagulation agent. Don't let her and her child's souls leave their bodies.]
[System: Yes, master!]
"Su Xi!!!"
Situ Bai and Boss Jiang saw this and were instantly terrified.
"Bao Jiu! I'm going to kill you! "
Situ Bai raised his sword and rushed towards him. Boss Jiang almost fainted. He also wanted to avenge his granddaughter, but he staggered a few steps and knelt on the ground.
Yue Qian, who arrived later, supported Boss Jiang and looked at this scene in disbelief.
[Ding!! Target's favorability has been updated! Current favorability: Data is unstable. Calculating accurately.]
Gou Liang frowned.
Other than the visible wound, Jiang Su Xi's internal organs were all injured. It was obvious that she was killed in one move. However, Chief Xia still wanted to create a terrible wound on her stomach. It was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort!
Situ Bai had completely lost his mind, and a chaotic Sword Qi came slashing over. Gou Liang dodged with Jiang Su Xi and said coldly, "For the sake of your Eldest Senior Brother, I won't bicker with you."
He looked at Nian Nu Jiao and the others, then looked at Yue Qian. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Go!"
"Where are you going!"
"Stop them!"
"Avenge our sect, kill them!"
"Kill the Demon Sect! Let them die a horrible death! "
"Where are the Shaolin monks? Let's kill the Demon Sect together and do justice for the heavens!"
"Where are the Sanskrit Pavilion disciples? Pass down my order. Don't let any of the Demon Sect disciples go! "
The major sects chased after the Demon Sect. The Hehuan Sect and Ten Thousand Poisons Sect who fell behind were killed one after another. Gou Liang stopped and handed Jiang Su Xi to Nian Nu Jiao.
"Take them and leave first."
"What about you, Sect Master?"
"I'll be there soon."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
She would not question any of Gou Liang's decisions.
Gou Liang held the red caltrop in his hand and blocked the righteous path in front of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect's gate in a few moves. Gou Liang stood alone at the majestic gate of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect. He wore a phoenix coronet and a robe, as if the most beautiful colors in the world were gathered on him. The red caltrop touched the ground. He looked indifferently at the righteous path disciples who wanted to enter but did not dare to. He chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid. Today is my wedding day. I won't kill you."
Pavilion Master Ye walked past the vanguard young disciples and said, "Sanskrit Pavilion wants to learn from the Demon Sect's Sect Master!"
She took off the zither on her back and played a murderous tune.
Seeing that Gou Liang was unmoved, Pavilion Master Tang flew out and said, "Bao Jiu, return the Nine Secrets of the Netherworld!"
But how could he be Gou Liang's opponent?
With just one move, Gou Liang fell to the ground.
Chief Xia said, "This person's martial arts are really powerful. Senior Jiang, Senior Brother Situ, Junior Sister Ye, Junior Brother Tang, let's work together! We can't let him leave today. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble! "
Senior Jiang, Pavilion Master Ye, and Pavilion Master Tang did not hesitate. Situ Changtian faced the four people's probing and sharp gazes and could only force himself to join in.
The five people fought against Gou Liang. For a while, the battle was in a stalemate. The biting cold internal energy and sound attacks made the disciples with lower cultivations not dare to take a step forward.
"Senior Brother!"
Situ Bai saw that his father and the others could not do anything to Gou Liang. He turned to Yue Qian and begged, "Senior Brother, I know you can kill him! Quickly go and lend your father a hand ah! Senior Brother, you saw it too. He killed Su Xi. He killed her with his own hands … Su Xi is still pregnant. In a few days, our child will be born … He is so cruel. Don't tell me you still can't see his true colors! Eldest Senior Brother, kill him. Help me kill him. I beg you! "
Yue Qian looked at the collapsed Situ Bai. His feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds and he could not move.
Lin Xiuniang and Situ Shuang were shocked by Jiang Su Xi's death. Although they did not ask Yue Qian to kill Gou Liang, their teary eyes looked at Yue Qian and silently urged him.
Instead, Cao Gengwu calmly said, "Third Junior Brother, don't force Senior Brother."
Situ Bai hatefully said, "Okay, okay, I won't force him! I will take revenge for Su Xi myself! "
As he spoke, he was about to rush into the battle. Cao Gengwu grabbed him, "Third Junior Brother, don't be impulsive. You are seeking death, not taking revenge!"
"Then what should I do? Su Xi died in front of me. Her stomach was full of blood … Senior Brother, don't stop me. I will kill him even if I have to risk my life. I will take revenge for Su Xi and my child … Senior Brother, let me go. Let me go! "
Situ Bai cried out.
Yue Qian finally moved.
Seeing him join the battle, Gou Liang's mind was in a mess. He withdrew his killing move. Chief Xia, who was chasing after him, found an opening and slashed down with his sword — —
Yue Qian blocked in front of Gou Liang and took the blow.
"Yue Qian!"
Blood stained the wedding robe. The color was so piercing that Gou Liang's eyes almost popped out.
He looked at Chief Xia. His previous plan to make use of him was thrown to the back of his mind. He wanted to kill this troublemaker now!
Yue Qian raised his hand to block him. Situ Changtian also blocked the other people who wanted to attack Yue Qian indiscriminately.
"Senior Brother Situ, why are you doing this?!"
"Yue Qian, kill him! Otherwise, if you degrade yourself and join the Devil Sect, our Righteous Faction will be the first to not tolerate you! "
"Senior Brother Situ, you've taught a good disciple!"
Yue Qian turned a deaf ear to this. He looked at Gou Liang with a pale face, grabbed the hand that was using the needle to stop his bleeding … and pushed it away.
He said, "Ye Gui, leave."
"Yue Qian …"
"If you leave here, there will be no Ye Gui in this world, only Bao Jiu of the Devil Sect. You and I, henceforth … break off all ties. "
[Ding! Target's favorability has been updated! Current favorability: 90!!]
"I don't agree!"
Gou Liang's eyes were burning. Tears fell from his eyes.
Yue Qian's fingers moved. In the end, he resisted the urge to wipe away his tears and said, "Go, go!"
Gou Liang was pushed. Seeing his determined gaze, he knew that he had forced himself into a desperate situation. He could not bear to give him any more pressure and could only stand up. He looked at Chief Xia and said, "I will return today's grudge a hundredfold!"
After saying this, Gou Liang flew away. The others wanted to chase after him, but a sharp sword aura forced them back.
Yue Qian held his sword at his side and said, "Let him go. No one is allowed to take a step out of this door."
Tower Master Tang said, "Yue Qian! You're actually so protective of Bao Jiu. Do you really want to be enemies with the Righteous Faction? "
Chief Xia said, "Senior Brother Situ, say something!"
Elder Jiang looked at Yue Qian in disappointment. "You really … won't repent!"
In a few breaths, Gou Liang had already disappeared. Seeing that they had lost the initiative and that it would be difficult to kill the Devil Sect's leader, they could only give up for the time being. They landed on the ground and pointed their spears at Yue Qian.
Situ Changtian was alarmed. "Qian 'er, what are you doing?"
Yue Qian let go of his sword and it fell from the sky.
He knelt down and kowtowed. "This disciple is unfilial and has disappointed Master."
Situ Changtian couldn't bear it. "Master knows that you didn't mean it. You were just confused by Bao Jiu. But you still made a big mistake. Go to the sword array and reflect on your mistakes. Come out when you've thought it through. "
"It's too late, Master … I did all of this willingly."
Yue Qian shook his head.
"I already knew that he was a man. I married him because I loved him. I swore that I would protect him for all eternity. I won't regret it until I die. Although he broke his promise to me, I won't and won't break my promise … Now that we've bowed to Heaven and Earth and pledged our lives to each other, whether he's Ye Gui or Bao Jiu, he's my Yue Qian wife. So, no matter what he's done or what he'll do in the future, I won't allow anyone to hurt him. "
Situ Changtian was shocked. "Qian 'er, do you know what you're saying?!"
"Master, this disciple knows that he's made a big mistake. There's no way out now …" Yue Qian stubbornly insisted. "In the future, I'll personally destroy the Demon Sect, but I won't let anyone hurt Ye Gui."
"What if I insist on killing him? Are you going to kill me first?! "Pavilion Master Ye said sternly." Senior Brother Situ, why are you still keeping such a rebellious disciple?! If you don't clean up the sect today, will the Southern Mountain Sword Sect be associated with the Demon Sect from now on?! "
Before Situ Changtian could speak, Yue Qian said, "Pavilion Master Ye, you don't have to force Master."
"What Yue Qian has done is all because of me. It has nothing to do with the Southern Mountain Sword Sect. Yue Qian knows that he's sinful, so he's asked to come out of seclusion. From today onwards … Yue Qian is a traitor of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect. From now on, he has nothing to do with the Southern Mountain Sword Sect. "
Then, he removed the seal of the first disciple of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect from his waist and threw it to Cao Gengwu.
"Qian 'er …"
"Senior Brother!"
Yue Qian kowtowed three times. "Master, please allow this disciple to call you Master for the last time. This disciple has failed your teachings. From now on, this disciple can no longer serve Master. Please take care of yourself. "
"Qian 'er, why do you …"
"Master, Yue Qian is too ashamed to face Master and the other junior brothers and sisters. Please grant me my wish."
Situ Changtian knew why Yue Qian did this. Because only by leaving could he separate the Southern Mountain Sword Sect from the Demon Sect and maintain the reputation of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect for hundreds of years. But … this was his most beloved and proud disciple. How could he bear to …
But in the end, he had no other choice.
"Yue Qian, a disciple of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect, has disobeyed the sect. From now on, he'll be expelled from the sect! If he causes trouble in the martial world in the future, I, Situ Changtian, will personally clean up the sect! "
"Senior Brother …"
The people of the Southern Mountain Sword Sect sobbed.
Yue Qian stood up and left resolutely.
"Aren't we helping the Demon Sect by letting the tiger return to the mountain today? Yue Qian, don't blame me for being ruthless! Give me your life! "
Chief Xia knew that if he let Yue Qian go, Gou Liang would be more difficult to deal with in the future. He immediately used all his strength to attack Yue Qian. Yue Qian broke Chief Xia's sword and looked at him coldly. Then, he flew away as fast as he could.
Chief Xia's face was stiff as he watched Yue Qian leave. His eyes were full of hatred.
