Chapter 75
Chapter 75: She is the One Who Needs Protection Now!
In these past years, Lan Yue’er had seen no hope in her heart.
Because she had no strength, and could not escape the surveillance of the 36th Immortal Palace.
She was forever under their house arrest.
She couldn’t leave the 36th Immortal Palace, nor could she confide in anyone about her and her mother’s innocence.
Nor could she ask anyone for help!
But now, an opportunity had come.
Ling Xue… was the opportunity!
When Ling Xue became the new Demon Lord, his sharpness was immediately noticeable, and of course, Lan Yue’er had heard about it within the 36th Immortal Palace.
Therefore, when Ling Xue arrived at the 36th Immortal Palace, it would be her chance to prove her innocence.
Lan Yue’er gazed at the vast 36th Immortal Palace, recalling the past of Ling Xue.
She was a year or two younger than Ling Xue.
She remembered the last time she met Ling Xue, which had been many years ago.
Back then, both she and Ling Xue were just little kids, always following the young master of their family.
At that time, Ling Xue was still the Demon Lord’s young master with no cultivation.
Whenever they encountered any issues, it was she who had to take action.
Back then, she even jokingly said that she would protect the young master for life.
But now, Ling Xue was not only no longer a congenital useless body, but his strength was incredibly terrifying!
There was no need to protect him now.
What needed protection now, was her!
“You don’t need to think too much! He won’t find this place, and no one can save you!”
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
A middle-aged man with an ambiguous gender slowly approached.
His skin was as pale as paper, his face between that of a man and a woman, and his voice was sharp, like that of a eunuch.
He was the current Grand Master of the 36th Immortal Palace.
He was also the leader of the betrayal of the Demon Sect.
Sun Gui Bai!
After Lan Yue’er’s mother passed away, he took over as the leader of the 36th Immortal Palace.
“This place… has never been known to anyone. Even the people of the 36th Immortal Palace only knew about it among the core high-ranking members!”
Sun Gui Bai’s eerie voice continued: “No one will find this place, and he is no exception!”
This place was their secret stronghold.
No one outside knew about it.
No one would ever think that there was a hidden paradise here.
They felt safe hiding here.
At least, in their eyes, they were safe.
The world was vast, and when the Demon Sect came to the former location of the 36th Immortal Palace, they would think that the people of the 36th Immortal Palace had already fled.
They would never imagine that they were hiding in this Yangyang Gorge.
“One can hide for a time, but not for a lifetime!”
Lan Yue’er’s cold voice rang out: “He will find you sooner or later! You will pay the price!”
“Price? Heh!”
Sun Gui Bai sneered: “You seem very confident in that useless young master?”
Back then, when they learned that the forces of the world were about to besiege the Demon Sect, they betrayed the Demon Sect.
The world’s strongest forces teamed up, and Ling Xue’s father was undoubtedly doomed to die.
And Ling Xue, a congenital useless body, obviously couldn’t support the Demon Sect.
At that time, they could no longer see a future for the Demon Sect.
So, at the crucial moment, they fled.
But they didn’t expect that the result of that battle was mutual destruction, both sides suffering heavy losses!
They also didn’t expect that Ling Xue, the Demon Lord’s young master… was not a useless body, and his power was incredibly terrifying.
“Are you scared, like a turtle shrinking into its shell because of that so-called useless person?” Lan Yue’er said coldly.
“He really… exceeded everyone’s expectations!”
Sun Gui Bai took a deep breath: “But that doesn’t change anything! There are many forces outside that will deal with him! By then… he won’t have the time to look for us in the 36th Immortal Palace!”
Upon hearing this, Lan Yue’er said nothing more.
She believed that Ling Xue would eventually conquer the entire world.
In the end… he would not spare anyone who should not be spared!
Ling Xue would eventually find this place; it was only a matter of time!
“You want to leave here, right? You want to return to the Demon Sect?” Sun Gui Bai’s voice continued.
Lan Yue’er didn’t answer.
This question didn’t need an answer.
“As long as you hand over the Dragon Controlling Secret Tome, I will let you go! I will let you leave the Immortal Palace!” Sun Gui Bai sneered.
“Why waste your breath?” Lan Yue’er snorted coldly.
Let her leave the Immortal Palace?
Once she handed over the Dragon Controlling Secret Tome, she would no longer be of any value.
By then, would Sun Gui Bai let her leave?
Since she knew the new location of the 36th Immortal Palace, Sun Gui Bai would surely kill her to silence her.
He would never let her expose their secret!
“Then just wait and see. Let’s see who runs out of time first, and who will suffer more!”
Sun Gui Bai said no more, turned and left.
Leaving Lan Yue’er standing alone on the high tower, lost in thought…
…
Yangyang Gorge was indeed an isolated paradise, cut off from the world.
No one would ever guess that within this Yangyang Gorge, there was a new world.
Therefore, everyone in the 36th Immortal Palace felt at ease.
At least, for the time being, they believed that Ling Xue would not be able to find them.
Once Ling Xue discovered that they were no longer at the old location, he would naturally turn to deal with other forces.
He wouldn’t immediately try to find them.
So, they were safe here.
At least, that was what they thought.
But the next day, their thoughts… would change!
The next day, the guard who was watching the barrier hurriedly reported: “Reporting to the Palace Master, someone… someone is coming!”
“Someone’s coming? Who?”
Sun Gui Bai’s face immediately changed slightly.
The guard’s trembling voice replied: “The Demon Sect! Ling Xue!”
Upon hearing this, Sun Gui Bai’s pupils shrank suddenly!
His already pale face became even more bloodless!
The Demon Sect? Ling Xue?
How could that be?
How could he find them so quickly?
How did Ling Xue know they were here!?
