Chapter 199 Gu Qing must really like the Hehuan Bell that the Ancestor gave him.
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Yan Hongluo nodded repeatedly and then said, "Let's go. The sect elders are getting impatient. They're as anxious as ants on a hot pan and want to get rid of Lin Xuan."
"Master, why don't we just go with the flow and drive him away, so as not to ruin our plans?"
Hongluan frowned and said.
Yan Honglu shook her head: "You're oversimplifying things. He's at the Divine Fire Realm; he's not so easy to deal with."
She knew Lin Xuan's personality very well. He seemed refined and easy-going, but in reality, he was persistent and obsessive, and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
Lin Xuan has ulterior motives within the Primordial Demon Sect, and he will absolutely not leave until he achieves his goal.
"Alas, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away. Master, you shouldn't have let him come."
"What are you saying? If he wants to come over, am I supposed to turn him away?"
"Too!"
"Lin Xuan is obviously no good. He keeps clinging to the debt of being saved, completely forgetting that you, Master, have also saved him many times."
Hongluan disliked Lin Xuan not only because he loved to cause trouble, but also because he always acted superior and bossy, as if everyone owed him something.
"Let bygones be bygones, there's no point in dwelling on it."
Yan Hongluo was disheartened and didn't want to talk about the past. She led Hongluan into the sect's council hall.
Seeing a refined and handsome young man sitting in the main seat of the sect leader, Yan Hongluo's heart sank. She nodded expressionlessly as a greeting.
The young man was an ancestor of the Divine Fire Realm who was in seclusion for many years. Whenever he came out of seclusion, he would definitely ask to cultivate with her.
"We pay our respects to the Sect Master and the Vice Sect Master."
The elders rose and bowed.
Yan Honglu hummed in agreement: "Sit down!"
"Sect Master, Lin Xuan has seriously endangered the sect. Please expel him from the sect."
The great elder said solemnly.
Yan Honglu paused for a moment, then, making her voice sound majestic and sacred, answered irrelevantly: "His curse has been resolved; he is merely staying in my sect for a while. There is no need to discuss this matter further."
As Yan Hongluo finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
Their goal was not only to drive Lin Xuan away, but also to kill him and seize the fortune within him.
If Lin Xuan's curse has been removed, then there's basically no chance.
Even if all the Divine Fire Realm ancestors of their Primordial Demon Sect were to appear, it wouldn't work.
Because the higher the level, the less meaningful it is to gang up on each other. Even a small difference in level can create a huge gap.
Moreover, if you can't win, you can always run away.
However, they had some doubts: had Lin Xuan truly removed the curse?
"Are we just going to let Lin Xuan do whatever he wants in our sect and make our sect suffer such a great humiliation?"
The Second Elder broke the silence, his expression filled with resentment.
If they can't kill Lin Xuan, then driving him away is basically out of the question.
After all, Lin Xuan's celestial avatar was too terrifying; even the Star God Temple couldn't do anything about it, so their Primordial Demon Sect was even less likely to be a match for him.
But he was really unwilling to accept it.
The Primal Demon Sect is a sect with a long history, which has dominated the Demon Luo Continent. When has it ever been so humiliated?
"I will not interfere in Lin Xuan's and his disciples' affairs from now on. You can handle things officially," Hongluan replied.
"Is this true?"
"really."
"That's good."
The elders' expressions softened slightly, and their attitude towards Hongluan improved.
As long as Hongluan doesn't side with outsiders, they have plenty of ways to deal with Lin Xuan's disciple and make it impossible for Lin Xuan to stay in the sect.
In addition, they could also test whether Lin Xuan had truly removed the curse.
Seeing that things had been discussed enough, Li Zichen, the young man at the Divine Fire Realm, chuckled and said, "Hong Luo, congratulations on your disciple finding a good match."
"Happy together."
Yan Hongluo replied indifferently.
Li Zichen was not surprised by Yan Hongluo's indifferent attitude. He smiled and took out a collar with bells hanging on it, and with a force, lifted it in front of Hongluan.
"Hongluan, this is my wedding gift to you. I don't know if you will like it."
"Thank you for the reward, ancestor."
Hongluan glanced at it and thanked her happily.
She absolutely loved the sacred Hehuan Bell.
However, Li Zichen's extravagant spending was destined to result in a double loss.
Li Zichen has been showering her with attention all these years, hoping to become both her disciple and master and enjoy the bliss of having two women.
Sending her the Hehuan Bell now probably means he still harbors ulterior motives.
"Just a little thing."
"Although Gu Qingxin loves you, even if you become Daoist partners, the Primal Demon Sect will still be your strongest support."
Li Zichen looked solemn, but he was incredibly frustrated inside.
The beauty I'd been eyeing for so long was snatched away by someone else.
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything to the two of them.
He only hoped that their relationship would be strained, and that one day Hongluan would come to him for help.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I will remember it forever."
Hongluan sincerely thanked her, clutching the leather ring of the bell, and then casually added, "Gu Qing should also like the Hehuan Bell that the Ancestor gave her."
"hehe!"
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
Li Zichen chuckled dryly. After Hongluan's words, he suddenly regretted giving the demon the Hehuan Bell.
Is it too late to regret it now?
Li Zichen looked at Hongluan, his meaning clear.
Hongluan smiled alluringly and discreetly put away the Hehuan Bell.
It's too late... Li Zichen's lips twitched.
"Vice Sect Master, may I ask what the purpose of Gu Shenzi's visit is?"
The elder spoke first.
Although they knew Gu Qing had come for Hong Luan, the two of them ended up sleeping together.
But even if you know it, some things still need to be said.
"Of course, you'll marry me."
Hongluan's red lips curved into a smile, her fair and delicate face exuding a captivating charm.
Her peach blossom eyes seemed to contain a thousand charms, like a bewitching enchantress.
"When does the Star God Temple plan to hold the Dao Couple Ceremony?"
"Is there any possibility that we could cooperate with the Temple of the Stars?"
The Star Temple possesses coordinates across countless worlds, and its influence extends throughout all realms.
If they can get in touch with the Star Temple, the Primal Demon Sect will benefit immensely.
Therefore, even though Hongluan was a goddess whom many male cultivators longed for but could not obtain, they did not object.
Of course, opposing it is useless.
"It will be soon, but I still need to discuss the specific time with Gu Qing."
Hongluan handled the situation with ease, easily finding excuses to brush it off.
A meeting that would decide the fate of the sect ended hastily.
After everyone in the main hall had left, only the Grand Elder and Li Zichen remained.
The Grand Elder bowed deeply and said, "Master, I suspect that Lin Xuan's curse has not been completely removed."
"Hmm!" Li Zichen hummed in response, his face grim.
In fact, it wasn't just the master and disciple who had this guess; many elders probably didn't believe Yan Hongluo's nonsense either.
Since ancient times, curses have been unsolvable. How could Lin Xuan possibly solve them in a single day?
He suspected that the Lin Xuan who appeared now was either an avatar of Lin Xuan or a dharma clone condensed using a secret technique to deceive everyone.
Given the relationship between Yan Hongluo and Lin Xuan, there is a high possibility that she is deceiving them.
Yan Hongluo's purpose in doing this was very simple: to protect Lin Xuan and let him hide in the Primal Demon Sect from the pursuit of the cursed people.
Because of this speculation, everyone tacitly kept quiet and decided to wait and see.
If Lin Xuan removes the curse, then it's as if nothing happened.
If not, that suits them just fine.
"Have someone kill Lin Xuan's disciple and see how Lin Xuan reacts."
"Yes, Master!"
"Also, give Gu Qing some trouble."
"what?"
"Ok?"
“Master, you may not know this, but Gu Qing has killed a peak Venerable Realm cultivator. His combat power is terrifying and unparalleled. Moreover, he should have a Divine Fire Realm cultivator protecting him.”
"..."
No wonder that vixen Hongluan was so eager to throw herself at him; it turns out Gu Qing is just that outstanding.
After a moment's thought, Li Zichen said coldly, "Then we'll find a way to sow discord between them."
How can he sow discord when he can't even see the people?
The elder muttered a frustrated complaint in his heart, but outwardly agreed respectfully.
Because he knew very well how much Li Zichen desired Yan Hongluo and Hongluan, this pair of exquisite masters and disciples, and had long regarded them as his own.
Even taking him as a disciple was merely to make it easier for her to pursue the two of them.
If he doesn't take on this task, he'll probably get slapped to death.
"By the way, did you find the Magic Vine that you couldn't find?" Li Zichen asked.
"found it."
The elder respectfully handed over a jade box, sighing helplessly to himself.
His master is good in every way, except he's too obsequious.
He kept sending her all sorts of treasures, and he was unhappy when Yan Hongluo refused them, so he insisted on giving them to her.
Other things aside, this Demonic Vine is a divine object, with the potential to grow into a god.
"You did well this time."
Li Zichen smiled with satisfaction and immediately bestowed a treasure upon the Grand Elder.
