Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 571 - 231: Vengeful Spirits Seeking Lives?

"Junior Brother He, Senior Sister Su is asking you."

Qin Gengyun was deep in thought, Chun Ningzhi snorted and said to him.

Qin Gengyun looked up and said to Su Xin: "Senior Sister, at Celestial Phoenix Mountain, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden absorbed my essence, and as compensation, she gifted me her Divine Phoenix Flame."

"I just didn’t expect this Divine Phoenix Flame to have the effect of suppressing the opponent’s cultivation."

The commanding disciples exchanged glances, and Chen Yunfeng exclaimed in surprise:

"The Celestial Phoenix Maiden has already mastered the Divine Phoenix Flame. Why would she give you something so precious?"

"By the way, how did the Celestial Phoenix Maiden transfer the Divine Phoenix Flame into your body?"

"And how did she help you overcome the damage of the Divine Phoenix Flame to your internal meridians?"

As soon as he said this, the other people’s expressions became strange, and they instinctively looked at Jian Yue and Qiu Zhihe, who was still sitting quietly by the bed.

The Divine Phoenix Flame is a talent superpower of the Phoenix Race. To inject it into someone else’s body is likely not just as simple as passing on power.

It might require a closer connection, perhaps even dual cultivation.

Could it be that after Junior Sister Ruo and Junior Sister Ye, he’s also with that Celestial Phoenix Maiden...

Ah, that Phoenix Bird Beast was probably given to him after the Celestial Phoenix Maiden developed a close relationship with him.

That makes sense!

But why him? Damn it!

The few of them speculated wildly, Su Xin and Wei Wan were somewhat okay, but Chun Ningzhi, being both a man and a "rival in love", was utterly transformed by jealousy, and he reprimanded Qin Gengyun:

"Junior Brother He, you are a disciple of the Zhenyang Sect, yet you are so close to the Demon Sect like Celestial Phoenix Mountain. Are you disregarding the sect rules?"

Qin Gengyun responded in surprise, "Senior Brother Chun, why do you say that? I recall you were the first to have your essence absorbed by the Phoenix Race, right? That woman was named Zhu Lin, the sister of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, and she was particularly gentle with you. You were quite close to her, weren’t you?"

"You, you shouldn’t say such things!"

Chun Ningzhi was shocked and hurriedly said to Jian Yue: "Junior Sister Ye, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t..."

Jian Yue ignored him and walked up to Qin Gengyun, directly grabbed his hand.

"Junior Sister Ye?!"

Chun Ningzhi looked on in disbelief at this scene, the others also opened their eyes wide in surprise.

What’s going on?

He Zhiqiu and Junior Sister Ruo were obviously just busy "handling business" in the room, yet Ye Xiyue didn’t mind at all, and even publicly showed such intimacy with him?

Chun Ningzhi’s mind exploded, his whole being numb.

Jian Yue paid no mind to the others’ shock, her expression cold, yet her eyes were charming and alluring:

"Junior Brother He, burn me a bit too."

Qin Gengyun was stunned, a slender arm reached out diagonally, grabbing Jian Yue’s hand, and Qiu Zhihe said flatly:

"Senior Sister Ye, please respect yourself."

Su Xin and the others were dumbfounded, what does this scene mean?

Are the two women fighting over the man?

Chun Ningzhi clenched his fists, his eyes almost spitting fire.

He couldn’t understand, why had Junior Sister Ye changed so much, she used to be so proud and pure, why was she now doing something so degrading?

Jian Yue looked at Qiu Zhihe, slowly withdrew her hand: "Junior Sister Ruo, don’t misunderstand, I’m just captivated by the sight, wanting to try Junior Brother He’s Divine Phoenix Flame."

Qiu Zhihe smiled: "It was my misunderstanding, don’t blame me, Senior Sister Ye."

"No harm."

The two women calmly stared at each other, yet both saw through each other’s intentions.

Jian Yue wanted to see if besides the Divine Phoenix Flame, Qin Gengyun also had Li Fire within him.

If true, she would try to seduce Qin Gengyun using Ye Xiyue’s body for dual cultivation, to seize that trace of Li Fire.

If successful, she might unlock the secret of the Profound Ice and Li Fire Technique. When she escapes the control of the Soul-devouring Pill, she could rely on it to break through.

But Qiu Zhihe would not permit her to see.

Jian Yue, your attempts are in vain, whether your demon embryo can detach from Ye Xiyue’s immortal body or break free from the Soul-devouring Pill, it depends entirely on my whim.

Yes, Madam, this servant dares not anymore.

Jian Yue silently retreated to the side, while Qin Gengyun worriedly watched Qiu Zhihe.

Earlier, his wife had sent that strange flame into his body, to help him fully absorb and integrate it, at great cost to herself.

Afterwards, she endured her fatigue to cultivate with him, and Qin Gengyun felt extremely guilty for causing her such exhaustion.

Qiu Zhihe’s expression remained calm as she asked Su Xin: "Senior Sister Su, did Senior Sister Cheng just say someone else was murdered, is it true?"

Half an incense stick of time later.

The east side of the mountain top where the male disciples resided, in a room.

Qin Gengyun and the others saw two withered corpses.

"These were two junior brothers from Forgetful Peak. When they were murdered, they didn’t make any sound."

Su Xin’s voice was heavy, with deep confusion.

These disciples from Forgetful Peak were at the Second Layer of the Golden Core stage, their cultivation wasn’t low.

Even if someone with much higher cultivation attacked, it’s unlikely their neighboring fellow disciples wouldn’t notice anything.

Zhang Zheng sighed: "This matter is exceedingly bizarre; could it truly be the work of... ghosts?"

Wei Wan shook her head: "If there really were ghosts claiming lives, then cultivators in the world would have been reduced to less than a tenth."

Everyone looked at her in shock, Wei Wan’s expression remained calm, but her eyes were dark.

Chun Ningzhi lightly coughed: "Junior Sister Wei, such words are overly exaggerated, our Zhenyang Sect is the leader of the Righteous Path, representing the righteous in the world, why would we fear any vengeful spirits or wild ghosts?"

Jian Yue suddenly spoke: "Haven’t you noticed? This ghost seems to only target men."

Everyone was startled, Chun Ningzhi, Zhang Zheng, and Chen Yunfeng’s expressions were visibly uneasy.

Zhang Zheng said to the two: "Senior Brother Chun, Junior Brother Chen, there’s still one more two-hour period until dawn, why don’t we cultivate together?"

The two repeatedly nodded: "I was thinking the same thing, haha!"

Su Xin said to Qin Gengyun: "Junior Brother He, what Junior Sister Ye said makes sense, this ghost likely needs the Yang Qi of men, you must be careful."

She then said to Ye Xiyue and Wei Wan: "Junior Sister Ye, Junior Sister Wei, let’s hurry and notify the other junior brothers, let’s get through this night first."

Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke: "I’ll collect the corpses of the two senior brothers."

Everyone looked at her, but didn’t say much, and went their separate ways.

Qiu Zhihe walked to the two withered corpses, furrowing her brows.

She sensed a familiar aura on these two bodies.

The previously deceased two had the same familiar aura.

What exactly was going on?

Liu Su approached: "Miss, what’s wrong?"

Qiu Zhihe shook her head: "It’s nothing."

She then placed the two corpses into a storage bag, to be buried together with the previously deceased the next day.

"Husband, I’ll go to your room."

The group came out, and Qiu Zhihe said to Qin Gengyun.

She wasn’t at ease with Qin Gengyun living alone, as her room had been destroyed by Qin Gengyun earlier; she naturally could only go to his room.

Qin Gengyun was silent for a moment before suddenly saying: "Wife, tonight I’d like to be alone."
