Chapter 281 The Departure of the Ghost Blood Vine
Chapter 281 The Departure of the Ghost Blood Vine
Zhong Hanshang lowered his head in silence, offering no defense for himself.
He knew that all of this was the retribution he deserved.
Huo Huo's ordeal was indeed caused by him.
If only he had been honest back then... if only he had woken up from his coma sooner...
Countless "what ifs" swirled in his mind, each one like a knife stabbing into his heart.
Ying stood aside, though he was responsible for protecting Zhong Hanshang, he knew that this was not the time for him to intervene.
He could only cough lightly to change the subject: "Where is Huo Huo's clone? Can you take us to see it? Maybe we'll find some clues."
When Zhong Hanshang saw Princess Huo Huo lying there peacefully, his heart clenched instantly.
Especially when he saw that face that looked so much like Gao Huohuo, he was momentarily stunned as if he were seeing her in person.
Princess Huo Huo was secretly and risked her life to bring back by Li Wen and Wang Lei.
Ever since Zhong Hanshang's half-demon identity became known, the Qingyun Sect has become the target of everyone's criticism.
The disciples of the sect couldn't even hold their heads up when walking outside, but the Holy Maiden of the Glazed Tile School always defended Zhong Hanshang.
This action not only won the favor of the Qingyun Sect disciples, but also changed the opinion of Zhong Hanshang's admirers towards the Holy Maiden.
But Zhong Hanshang had no time to pay attention to any of that at the moment.
His only concern was the safety of his master, Dongfang Han.
Upon learning that his master had been summoned back to the sect by Sect Leader Li Qingde, he finally felt a little relieved.
In the Qingyun Sect, apart from his master and the sect leader, everyone else kept their distance from him.
The elders and disciples had expressed their dissatisfaction with him openly and secretly on many occasions, until he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm at the age of sixteen, at which point the situation improved.
Now all he wants to do is find Gao Huohuo, and Zhong Hanshang knows that she has an avatar in the demon race.
To ensure that Ying would not reveal what happened today, he had no choice but to make him swear an oath to Heaven first.
Only after completing the oath to Heaven did he inquire about the demon race's avatars.
Ying never expected that Gao Huohuo, with only a Nascent Soul cultivation level, would actually have two clones.
Moreover, judging from this, the clone's cultivation level is even higher than her original body.
No wonder she was able to smash through his bedchamber all by herself.
Meanwhile, in the territory of the demon race, specifically the Mandala Flower Demon.
A month ago, Manman's sudden return late at night made the chief of the Mandala Flower Clan sense that something was wrong.
When they learned that she had even brought back the unconscious Chen Wan'er, Manman's father panicked.
Chen Wan'er's status among the demon race has risen higher and higher over the past few years.
The mere existence of the Wood Spirit Princess was enough to force all the demon tribes to submit to her.
Later, they even rose to a position of equal standing with the infamous Blood Demon Society of the demon race, which was enough to shock all demons.
Moreover, she single-handedly subdued the Ghost Blood Vine, one of the four most ferocious creatures of the demon race.
Now this legendary figure has appeared in the clan in a coma. If the news leaks out, the Mandala Flower Clan will surely face a great calamity.
But he also worried that a legendary figure like Chen Wan'er would come after him when she woke up.
After weighing the pros and cons, they had no choice but to take Manman and Chen Wan'er to their clan's forbidden area.
They blocked all news and left Manman alone to guard the place.
Just after everything was settled, Manman received a message from Ye Lingyu.
"Manman, how is your sister Chen doing these days?"
What seemed like an ordinary greeting, Manman sensed a hidden meaning.
"Sister Ye, Sister Chen suddenly fell into a coma a few days ago. I have brought her back to our Mandala Flower Clan."
At the same time, Manman realized that Chen Wan'er was just an incarnation of Ye Lingyu and the other junior sister.
Her true self must have encountered danger, which is why her clone fell into a coma.
Today, Manman suddenly noticed that Chen Wan'er's bracelet was missing, so she hurriedly summoned her father.
"Father, Sister Chen is still here, but where did the Ghost Blood Vine suddenly go?"
Upon hearing this, the chief of the Mandala Flower Clan examined the woman from head to toe, his brow furrowed.
"Chen Wan'er is clearly only in a coma, so the Ghost Blood Vine shouldn't abandon its master."
Although over the years, I have never heard of a malevolent creature recognizing a human as its master.
But it is said that the Ghost Blood Vine has always been well tamed by Chen Wan'er, and she has never seen such an obedient Ghost Blood Vine.
No sooner had she finished speaking than she received a message from Ye Lingyu: "Manman, has your sister Chen changed at all today?"
"Sister Ye, the Ghost Blood Vine in Sister Chen's hand has disappeared, and Father doesn't know why either."
Is there anything I can do to help?
Inside the Shadow Moon Sect, everyone hurriedly checked the evil-repelling hairpin on Princess Huo Huo's head and found it to be intact.
It seems that the intelligent Ghost Blood Vine sensed the danger to its host and left on its own.
This news made everyone even more anxious, and they all demanded that Gao Huohuo be found immediately.
"Nonsense!" Shen Cangxuan shouted sharply. "I know you are all worried about Huo Huo, but this is a special time, and there are more important things to do."
Lou Chongxiao muttered to himself, "Junior Sister is missing, what could be more important than her?"
Originally, even if Zhong Hanshang and the others hadn't come today, they were just about to go out to find their junior sister.
Shen Cangxuan glanced at him before continuing:
"When Princess Huohuo was still alive, the Yin spirits could still be controlled."
Now that your junior sister has fallen, the Qingyun Sect has been affected, and the situation of the human race is even more critical than before. Are you all going to abandon this situation?
Upon hearing this, Lou Chongxiao shrank back in embarrassment.
"Don't you know why your junior sister risked her life to send her clone back to the human race?" Shen Cangxuan asked in a deep voice.
It is precisely because they understand this that they are even more eager to save their junior sister.
Zhong Hanshang stepped forward and promptly expressed his opinion.
"Sect Master, perhaps I should return to the Demon Realm to find Huo Huo. With Demon Lord Ying here..."
Before Zhong Hanshang could finish speaking, Ye Lingyu was the first to object.
"I disagree. Junior Sister went missing because of the two of you. I must go in person this time."
“I’ll go too,” Lou Chongxiao said, following closely behind.
Just as Bai He was about to express his opinion, Shen Cangxuan had already made his decision.
"Alright, you two can come along. The rest of you can stay in the human race and wait for news."
Your junior sister's men suffered heavy losses. While you're helping her, also investigate how the news of Han Shang's identity got out.
Ye Lingyu said coldly, "Why should we concern ourselves with other people's affairs? The Holy Maiden of the Glazed Tile School is very attentive every day."
Upon hearing this, everyone who had forgotten about the incident stared at him coldly.
Shen Cangxuan said meaningfully, "Han Shang, although my little apprentice is a bit noisy, he is smart, lively and cute."
"If your heart belongs to someone else, then you don't need to make this trip. We, Shen Cangxuan, will save my own disciple."
Upon hearing this, Ying looked thoughtfully at Zhong Hanshang.
If Zhong Hanshang really had an affair with that saintess, he might be able to take advantage of the situation.
As long as he can cultivate with Huo Huo, his strength will surely increase to a higher level, and he will also gain the support of the Shadow Moon Sect.
Although Gao Huohuo's sect is small in number, each member is a top expert.
Moreover, they were all reasonable and accepted Zhong Hanshang's identity well.
