Chapter 280 The Hehuan Sect Master Who Snatches People Everywhere in the Cultivation World (22)
I fell asleep without knowing how long it had been, and when I woke up I didn't know when it was.
When Le Yan opened her eyes, she found herself in a simply decorated room with a thin veil hanging from the ceiling. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a top-grade spiritual artifact—the Cloud Silk Ribbon.
Yun Wenling, who can both kill and save lives, was used as a curtain. Who was the person who kidnapped her?
Feeling a pang of emotion, Le Yan thought of getting up and starting her own rescue.
She then realized that no matter how much she wanted to move, her body was completely out of her control.
Strictly speaking, only her eyes can move now.
Even opening your mouth to speak is out of the question.
Le Yan was deflated; it seemed the murderer who kidnapped her had no intention of giving her a chance to escape.
All she can do now is wait quietly for the killer to arrive, and then seize the opportunity to act.
We just don't know when the other party will appear.
Thinking to herself, Le Yan didn't want to make things difficult for herself by keeping her eyes open while waiting for someone, so she closed her eyes again to rest.
A moment later, her ears twitched as she heard the door open, but she heard no other sound.
There was not a sound, not even a footstep or a breath.
It was as if no one had come in at all.
Or perhaps, what came in wasn't a person.
Le Yan was startled by her own thoughts. She quickly opened her eyes and was startled again.
A person appeared in front of her.
a woman.
She stood by the bed, her eyes cold and aloof, her face like ice, like a fragrant orchid under the moon, pure and ethereal, only to be admired from afar.
Complex emotions surfaced in Le Yan's eyes. She stared intently at the woman in front of her, murmuring the woman's name in her heart.
Changheng Sword Master.
The number one cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation, the Changheng Sword Master of the Myriad Laws Sect.
It turns out he was the murderer who kidnapped her!
No wonder she fell into their hands without even meeting them.
Given the strength of Sword Master Changheng, even if she wanted to kill Xi Tingsi, who was at the half-step Tribulation Transcending stage, that eccentric male protagonist wouldn't last more than five hundred moves against her.
Let alone himself, a mere outsider who is only half a step into Mahayana Buddhism?
Le Yan was convinced and didn't want to say anything more.
Now that she's in the hands of Sword Master Changheng, all she can do is pray that he's not here to kill her.
Otherwise, she could only go to the underworld with tears in her eyes, and then drift away to another world.
Sword Master Changheng looked down at Le Yan, not missing the resigned look in her eyes. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, wondering what she was doing.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she sat down on the edge of the bed. She reached out and stroked Le Yan's forehead, and Le Yan's head was able to move.
Why did you arrest me?
The first question Le Yan asked after discovering she could speak was this. Only after asking did she realize that this trouble was most likely related to the Qi brothers, Qi Lan and Qi Qing.
After all, those twins were the precious disciples of the Sword Master Changheng.
Le Yan immediately felt guilty and dared not speak so loudly, yet she still maintained a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor.
She moved her lips slightly and explained earnestly, "If Sword Master Changheng is seeking revenge on me because of your disciples, there's really no need for this. I haven't harmed your disciples. We can sit down and have a proper chat. There's no need to arrest me for no reason..."
Le Yan didn't even know what she was saying; she just started babbling away as soon as she opened her mouth, not caring about anything else.
In the face of the strong, the weak can only hope for a moment of mercy from the strong.
Sword Master Changheng frowned, and his fingers went straight to Le Yan's lips, pinching her talkative mouth shut again.
“It has nothing to do with my apprentice. I arrested you only because of you.”
Changheng Sword Master's brief explanation made Leyan fall into deep thought.
If they captured her not for their apprentice, then what was it for?
Could it be that he's fallen for her again?
Le Yan looked at Sword Master Changheng, gestured with her mouth, indicating that she should let go of her.
"Do you want to speak?" Sword Master Changheng asked.
Le Yan nodded, while rolling her eyes.
Nonsense, if she didn't want to talk, why would she move her mouth?
After being glared at, Sword Master Changheng obediently withdrew his hand. "Then you speak."
"Ahem..." Le Yan coughed lightly before saying, "You arrested me, just for my sake?"
Sword Master Changheng: "Yes."
"So why did you arrest me?"
"Don't tell me you want to cultivate with me!"
Sword Master Changheng: "..."
She hadn't expected the person in front of her to ask so directly.
But when I thought about the other person's identity, it made perfect sense.
After all, Le Yan is the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, and for the Hehuan Sect... dual cultivation is a normal little thing for them, just like eating and sleeping.
Sword Master Changheng paused briefly, then nodded without any embarrassment: "Yes, I wish to cultivate with you."
She said in a serious tone, "I am better than you. It will only benefit you if you are with me."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan raised an eyebrow. "You want to be a tool for my cultivation advancement?"
Those words were just an attempt to seduce her and make her feel comfortable using the number one person to transcend tribulations.
It has to be said, this is indeed a huge temptation.
If she obtains the primordial yin essence of the Changheng Sword Master, she can at least directly reach the late stage of the Mahayana realm.
A cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage willingly offering himself to her is something far beyond ordinary dual cultivation.
Sword Master Changheng frowned, somewhat displeased with her use of the word "tool".
She retorted earnestly, "I am not a tool; I want to form a bond with you."
She wanted to become her Daoist partner, with a name and status witnessed by heaven and earth; only then would it be a perfect outcome.
Le Yan's lips curled into a sneer: "If you want to form a contract with me, you're just going to tie me up like this, not letting me move around and sealing my spiritual power?"
Is there really such a contractual law?!
This is called extortion, do you know that?!
Sword Master Changheng pursed his lips and explained, "I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself if you resist."
She wasn't afraid that Le Yan would hurt her, but she was afraid that Le Yan would struggle too much and hurt herself.
That was a scene she didn't want to see.
Sword Master Changheng looked serious. Le Yan looked at him again and again and realized that she really did whatever she thought.
With that single-minded look, he really is a purebred swordsman.
Le Yan chuckled: "Untie me, or I'd rather die than agree to form a contract with you."
Upon hearing this, Sword Master Changheng's eyes lit up: "If I untie it, will you form a bond with me?"
Le Yan choked and mumbled, "Um, you untie it first."
She'll think about whether or not to form a contract.
Sword Master Changheng was pure of heart and never expected that she would deceive him, so he decisively released the spell that imprisoned Leyan.
She also withdrew the seal that had been placed on spiritual power.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Leyan, who had relaxed, and asked expectantly, "Can we form a bond now?"
Le Yan sat up slightly and said with a smile, "Not yet."
"Why?" Sword Master Changheng was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
Le Yan then said, "You didn't even seriously ask me to form a bond, so why should I agree?"
"Don't you know the saying, 'Things that are easily obtained are not cherished'?"
"What if I agree to your request so easily, and you kill your wife to prove your enlightenment tomorrow?"
Sword Master Changheng was stunned by her words and could only weakly say, "I do not cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. I will not kill my wife to prove my path."
Le Yan: "I don't care, I'm not going to let you have me so easily."
