Xie Ningyuan's words were a naked insinuation of the three of them.
Chi Yan argued unconvinced, "Of course, life-saving grace should be repaid. This is a truth that everyone knows. Even if it is someone else, it is the same!"
Xie Ningyuan glanced at him sideways, "Even if the other party is a demon cultivator who has been fighting with you for a long time?"
Chi Yan wanted to say yes, but after opening his mouth, he still couldn't say it out.
Just...he had to admit that this might not be something that everyone could do.
Feng Lin was much smarter. She didn't argue with Xie Ningyuan at all. She just asked, "They didn't leave, so what then? What happened next?"
Xie Ningyuan was silent for a moment, and then continued seriously, "Then Lone Phoenix admired the chivalrous spirit of the two men, and was moved by their perseverance, so he let them go and returned the Fengming Sword to Jian Bugui. "
Lu Sangjiu, who had been listening quietly:? ? ?
Wait, everything was fine up front, why does something suddenly go wrong here?
She glanced at Xie Ningyuan with some suspicion. Seeing that he was serious and didn't look like he was joking, she couldn't help but wonder again... He really had some weird filter for her, right?
She, the top demon cultivator Guhuang! How could she be moved by her persistence and let them go?
While she was speechless, she finally confirmed one thing... Well, Xie Ningyuan didn't hide in the corner of the corner to witness the whole process, but he probably found out about it from the few monks in the transformation stage who were present and escaped alive.
Of course, he knew so clearly, without any concealment or beautification of them, that he probably used some kind of violent means.
Because of this, Xie Ningyuan didn't know the story after those people left, so he could only make random guesses.
But in fact... Lu Sangjiu didn't let them go so easily at that time.
After all, Hua Jianzhi was also a big shot who would be hated and plotted by Cang Ming. Lu Sangjiu knew about her and Cang Ming's plan against her.
Although she was not involved in it, since it happened halfway, she could not turn a blind eye.
I saved the two of them because I couldn't get used to the ugly faces of those monks, but whether to let them go after they were rescued was another matter.
Jian Bugui was a very smart man. After seeing Lu Sangjiu driving everyone else away, when he looked at them, he immediately bowed to Lu Sangjiu.
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"
"Senior, regardless of camp, only distinguishes between right and wrong. He is willing to punish evil and promote good, hoe the strong and support the weak. He is truly a role model for our generation!"
Well, no matter what, let’s put down a few big hats first.
With Lu Sangjiu raised high, she wouldn't be embarrassed to attack them, would she?
It's a pity that Jian Bugui doesn't understand Lu Sangjiu... She's embarrassed.
"Don't think that it will be over with a few words of flattery."
She pointed the Fengming Sword in her hand at Hua Jianzhi, "Cang Ming is my subordinate. You ran out from under his grasp and I happened to bump into him again."
"Tell me, why should I let you go?"
Hua Jian knew that although this man was a monk from the Hehuan Sect, he was different from the bohemian behavior of most monks from the Hehuan Sect.
There is no impetuousness about her, and she even looks like a completely stable and reliable senior.
At this time, she did not show any timidity when faced with such a desperate situation. She just looked at Lu Sang and said, "If senior wanted to kill me, he wouldn't stand here asking questions, would he?"
What she said... OK, that's right.
Although Lu Sangjiu was not so moved that he would let them go directly, he did see the noble character of her and Jian Bugui's devotion to each other.
The battle between immortals and demons is not what she wants. She hates immortal cultivators, but she does not hate all immortal cultivators.
At least she didn't have any ill feelings toward the two of them, who were of such excellent character, and she didn't feel any hatred that she had to kill them.
So even though she was targeting Hua Jianzhi, she was still willing to give them a chance to talk.
But...if you think you can sit back and relax because of this, you would be totally wrong.
Lu Sangjiu said calmly, "I gave you a chance. Since you can't give me a reason, you can only..."
Feng Ming Sword moved slightly, and Jian Bugui on the side shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Lu Sangjiu paused and glanced at Jian Bugui aside, "Oh, little monk, do you have any last words to say?"
The corners of Jian Bugui's mouth twitched slightly, then he took a deep breath and said, "Senior, since you are willing to give us a chance to speak, then... why not give us one more?"
"Senior, just tell me what you want to do to let us go."
Lu Sangjiu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jian Bugui with admiration, "Well, you're pretty smart, so I'll give you another chance."
"My request is also very simple. First, you two swear not to participate in the battle between immortals and demons for a hundred years; second... you two, hand over your storage bag."
When listening to the first words, both of them had normal expressions, but when they heard the last sentence, they were immediately confused.
No... you are a senior who is in the tribulation period. You were talking about the battle between immortals and demons in a very high-level manner. Why did you suddenly change the subject and start committing blatant robbery? ? ?
The expressions between the two were wonderful, and Lu Sangjiu suddenly became unhappy, "What, you don't want to?"
At this time, who dares to say that he is unwilling?
And to be honest, the conditions proposed by Lu Sangjiu were not that difficult to accept.
Jian Bugui and Hua Jianzhi looked at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.
After all, important things like the magic weapon of life are placed in the sea of consciousness to be warmed and nourished. The things in the storage bag... are all external things, and they will come back after all the money is gone!
After hearing the two of them make the inner demon oath and happily taking away their storage bags, Lu Sangjiu planned to leave.
But Feng Mingjian, who had been obedient before, protested at this time.
The sword buzzed and vibrated, trying hard to resist Lu Sangjiu's will, refusing to leave with her.
Lu Sangjiu slapped it in dissatisfaction, with a look of disgust on his face, "Isn't it just a broken sword? What's the air? Do you really think I want you so much?"
After a pause, she glanced at Jian Bugui, without saying anything, she pushed Feng Mingjian towards him, then turned around and left.
Well, the truth is still so simple.
She was not moved by their persistence at all, but by their belongings, and that's why she let them go.
Lu Sangjiu himself knew this, but others did not. They were all shocked by Xie Ningyuan's answer.
At this time, they were shaken one after another by Xie Ningyuan, and they probably began to doubt life in their hearts.
Could it be that... this Demonic Cultivator Guhuang is really a good person with a kind heart?
While they were silent, Feng Lin couldn't help but want to say something, but Gu Jue spoke first.
He lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the complexity in his expression, and spoke with some difficulty.
"...I don't know whether what you said is true or false."
"But, I just thought about it, and I have never heard Master say anything negative about Gu Huang."
Feng Lin:! ! !
Chi Yan:! ! !
Could it be... could this be the truth?
