The room was dead silent.
Everyone's expression was dull. Even Su Shi was stunned.
"Censor Chen, what did you say?"
The long-bearded old man suspected that he had misheard.
"I said, I believe Su Shi." Chen Qingluan said word by word.”
"Censor Chen, Su Shi is a member of the Devil Dao. Have you thought about the consequences of saying this?" The long-bearded old man frowned.”
Chen Qingluan glanced at him." Are you threatening me?”
The long-bearded old man's breathing stopped, and his face turned red.
He had never thought that Chen Qingluan would stand on Su Shi's side!
And his attitude was so unyielding!
Although the Heavenly One Sect was powerful, it was only a first-rate sect. Compared to a behemoth like the Demon Slaying Department, there was still a huge gap.
He could not afford to offend the Demon Empress, but neither could he afford to offend the Demon Slaying Department.
"Censor Chen, you have to give me a reason, right?”
"Are our disciples going to die for nothing?" The long-bearded elder gritted his teeth.”
"The Demon Slayers Department will investigate this matter thoroughly.”
"An Hongdou just died, and all of you arrived right after," said Chen Qingluan."Obviously, someone tipped you off in advance.”
"Call out the messenger and see what An Hongdou said.”
The long-bearded old man's expression changed, and he said somewhat unnaturally,""It seems to be a small errand boy. I don't know where he went.”
An Hongdou had indeed sent someone to inform him.
The content was simple:
Su Shi was here. Kill him for revenge!
The old man had rushed over after receiving the news. He had not come to kill Su Shi, but to stop An Hongdou!
Even if Su Shi was going to die, he could not die in the Solesky Sect's stronghold!
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
Chen Qingluan narrowed her eyes." There's nothing that the Demon Slayers Department can't find out about in the Cold Wind City. Don't forget His Majesty's decree.”
The Sage Emperor had decreed that opportunities were based on one's own abilities, and that fighting was forbidden in the city.
No matter who started the trouble, they would be seen as enemies of the dynasty.
A rare treasure had appeared on Tianqu Mountain. Righteous and demonic cultivators would gather here, and it was very likely that there would be a dispute.
In order to protect the people in the city, the dynasty had to maintain a neutral stance.
The long-bearded old man naturally understood the pros and cons.
Su Shi was not afraid of the Demon-Slaying Department, but he would definitely lose the stronghold of the Heavenly Sect.
"Back in Jade Qilin City, Imperial Censor Chen was defeated by this demon. Why is he speaking up for him now?”
The long-bearded old man sneered.
The crowd also began to whisper.
Obviously, they all suspected that she had some kind of unspeakable relationship with Su Shi.
Chen Qingluan's expression did not change. Her voice was cold as she said," I will fight back for my own defeat. You don't have to worry about it. However, if anyone dares to cause trouble in the city…"
She pushed her thumb lightly, revealing the blade of the sword. The surging sword aura was like a stormy sea." Don't blame my sword for not recognizing you!”
Everyone looked away, not daring to look at her.
The long-bearded old man pondered for a while and said hatefully,""Su Shi, this isn't over!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't forget," Su Shi said lightly,"I paid for someone to clean my room.”
The long-bearded old man paused, stomped his feet angrily, and strode out of the room.
Since the elders had already left, the crowd naturally did not dare to linger.
Soon, only the three of them were left in the room.
"This old man is a guest elder of the Heavenly One Sect," said Chen Qingluan."He's already at the late-Nascent Soul stage. You'd better be careful.”
Su Shi shook his head." Actually, you don't have to do this. This will make people suspect that you are colluding with the Devil Dao."”
"I have a clear conscience. What does the thoughts of others have to do with me?" Chen Qingluan said indifferently.”
Su Shi smiled and said,"Then why do you believe me?"”
Chen Qingluan fell silent.
When she saw how Su Shi did not defend himself in the face of everyone's criticism, she instinctively wanted to stand up for him.
"You may be lecherous, but you're not bloodthirsty. An Hongdou isn't so good-looking that you can force her to do anything to her.”
“……”
"How am I lecherous?" Su Shi smiled bitterly.”
Chen Qingluan glanced at Cen Yiren and said coldly,""You know very well that you should continue to have sex with your Big Sister Bear.”
With that, he flung his clothes and walked out of the room.
Cen Yiren rolled up her sleeves angrily and shouted,""Who are you talking about? Big Bear, are you jealous?"
Su Shi rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
It seemed that he could not remove the label of a lecher.
Cen Yiren crossed her arms and looked at him suspiciously." What's your relationship with Chen Qingluan?" Why did she disregard her own position for you?”
Chen Qingluan was a censor of the Demon-Slaying Department and was famous for her abhorrence of evil.
No matter how many reasons Su Shi had, it was a fact that he had killed three people. How could he just let it go?
She would never believe that there was nothing fishy going on between the two of them.
"I guess she was moved by my righteousness," Su Shi said seriously.”
"Morality? There is no one in this world who is more despicable than you!”
Recalling what had just happened, Cen Yiren gritted her teeth in anger.
He had actually been looked at by this guy!
" It was an emergency." Su Shi scratched his head." I didn't know you were taking a shower…"
"Then why are your eyes so wide open!”
"…I can't read it if I don't open my eyes wider.”
"I, I'll bite you to death!"
……
The next day.
Tianqu Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of cultivators gathered.
The crowd was divided into two camps, one side was the righteous path, the other was the demonic path, the two groups were clearly separated.
There was also a small group of itinerant cultivators who chose to stand on the righteous path.
"I heard that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is here as well?”
"Of course, the Vast Cloud Continent isn't far from here, so there's no reason to miss out on this opportunity.”
"I hope it's Fairy Zhan. With such a top-notch prodigy guarding, the demonic path probably won't dare to act rashly.”
"It's been a long time since I've seen Fairy Zhan's heroic bearing.”
"However, the Netherworld Rakshasa Sect has also sent someone this time. It's that perfected Divine Grade genius, Su Shi!”
"Perfect Divine Grade? Really?"
"Last night, that demon was still on a killing spree in Spring Wind Pavilion!”
Just as everyone was discussing, a green-robed man flew over from afar.
"It's Imperial Censor Chen!"
Without looking at his appearance, he could tell his identity just from the abundant sword qi.
Chen Qingluan of the Demon-Slaying Department!
Chen Qingluan descended from the sky and walked to the side silently. She hugged her sword and looked as if she was keeping strangers away.
The righteous path people were excited.
Although she was from the Imperial Court, she was also considered a prodigy of the righteous path. With her around, the demonic path would not dare to be arrogant!
Only the people from the Heavenly Sect had a strange expression on their faces.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly became restless.
"It's Fairy Zhan!"
"Fairy Zhan is here!"
A Daoist nun in a moon-white Daoist robe slowly walked over.
Her expression was cold and her eyes were calm, like the bright moon in the sky.
It was Zhan Qingchen.
When Chen Qingluan saw her, she couldn't help but smile.
"Qingchen!"
"Blue Luan? You're here too!"
The two of them smiled and hugged each other. Their stunning looks reflected each other, and even the sunlight seemed to dim a little.
