335: Chapter 333: Swallow Sect!
Three hundred li southwest of Guangling City lies a county town called Yan City.
During the era of the Republic, the Swallow Sect was renowned in this region.
However, since Swallow Li San was blasted to death by warlord cannons, the Swallow Sect’s status in the worldly society plumted to that of a minor faction.
Now, in these peaceful and prosperous tis, the business of robbing the rich to aid the poor is not very lucrative, and the days for the Swallow Sect are even more difficult.
It has co down to Sect Leader Yan the sixth, who only has three adopted orphans left, essentially rendering the sect existent in na only.
Misfortune never cos singly, as just recently, the sect’s pillar, Yan the sixth, was injured by enemies and has been lying in bed for over a month.
His breathing is so weak it appears he might pass away at any mont.
Shen Xingchen had rushed back last night and is currently attending to his master’s sickbed.
Yan the sixth struggled to open his eyes and took great comfort in watching Shen Xingchen, Du Danian, and Wang Ling’er.
“Xingchen, Danian, Ling’er, my ti is near.
After my death, let the Swallow Sect disband.
However, the three of you siblings must support each other and survive, just survive..ahem, ahem…”
As he spoke, he began to cough violently.
Wang Ling’er quickly stepped forward and patted Yan the sixth’s back.
Shen Xingchen passed a cup of water and, with tears in her eyes, said: “Master, you won’t die.
Immortal Master Li said he would co to save you.”
Yan the sixth managed a weak smile and said, “Xingchen, among you three siblings, you are the youngest and the most innocent, and do not understand the dangers of worldly society.
After I’m gone, continue going to school and find a good family to marry into, then lead a commoner’s life and never enter the worldly society again!”
Hearing her master instruct her to find a good family to marry into, Shen Xingchen’s pretty face blushed intensely.
“Master, what are you saying?
You are not going to die, and I don’t want to get married!”
Yan the sixth looked at Shen Xingchen affectionately and smiled, saying: “What a silly girl!”
Then, he turned his gaze towards Du Danian and Wang Ling’er: “Ling’er, Danian, there is one more thing you must rember, your martial uncle is not a good man, stay away from him!”
“Brother, speaking ill of fellow sect mbers behind their back can lead to retribution.” Before Yan the sixth could finish, a man’s voice suddenly ca from outside.
Imdiately after, the door was pushed open, and two figures walked in slowly under the cold moonlight.
The leader was a middle-aged man nad Li Chongg, also a descendant of Swallow Li San, and Yan the sixth’s younger martial brother.
Following him was a sinister man in black clothes and a black hat, revealing only his eyes.
Seeing the visitors, Yan the sixth’s already pallid face turned even paler.
“Junior brother, why have you co?”
Li Chongg sneered, “Of course, to see you!”
After saying that, he shifted his gaze to Shen Xingchen and the others, asking, “Where is the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant?”
Both Wang Ling’er and Du Danian seed sowhat afraid of Li Chongg and dared not answer.
Shen Xingchen, though, was not so fearful and lifted her head to say, “The Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant is not with us; it’s with Immortal Master Li.
If you want it, go get it from him!”
Hearing the words “Immortal Master Li”, Li Chongg stumbled with fright, nearly falling to the ground.
“Little girl, are you playing with ?
Immortal Master Li is an immortal from heaven, how could he possibly care about a re pendant?”
Shen Xingchen shrugged and said, “I don’t know about that.
I just know that not only did he take a liking to the pendant, but he also ntioned he would be looking for you.
Uncle, Immortal Master Li is not soone easy to talk to, I suggest you look out for yourself!”
Li Chongg’s legs trembled uncontrollably as he tried to calm himself, then raised his voice slightly and yelled, “Shen Xingchen, you little brat, stop bluffing .
I have neither grievances nor grudges with Immortal Master Li, why would he possibly co looking for ?”
Shen Xingchen said, “How would I know?
He’s a very eccentric person and doesn’t need a reason to kill soone!”
Li Chongg narrowed his eyes and asked, “So, you are quite familiar with him?”
Hearing this question, Shen Xingchen didn’t quite know how to respond.
Am I familiar with Li Chen?
We’ve only known each other for a few days; it’s just a passing acquaintance, not really familiar, right?
But I’ve had physical contact with him, been held by him, and on the train, we even shared the sa blanket.
If that doesn’t count as familiar, then what does?
Li Chongg saw that Shen Xingchen did not reply, and assud that she was deceiving him, unable to provide an explanation for herself, so he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“You, a greenhorn still wet behind the ears, try to deceive ?
You’re still too tender!”
“Why waste words on a little girl?
The Witch Master is still waiting for the other Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant!” The man in black, who had been silent, said in a hoarse and chilling voice.
Li Chongg responded and imdiately grabbed Shen Xingchen’s fair neck.
“Girl, where is the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant?”
Shen Xingchen’s face turned red from being choked as she stamred: “The Jade Pendant is with Immortal Master Li, if you have the ability, go ask him for it.
Bullying a weak woman like , what kind of man does that make you?”
Li Chongg was furious and shouted: “Hmph, you little brat, you’re about to die and you still try to scare with Immortal Master Li?
Do you really think your uncle is easily frightened?”
“Not afraid to tell you the truth, this person next to is an Elder from the Bai Family of the Miao Territory, even if Immortal Master Li’s Taoist Technique reaches the skies, he wouldn’t dare set foot in the Miao Territory!”
“Li Chongg, let Xingchen go, the Jade Pendant is really not with her!” As he spoke, Yan the sixth tried to stand up and snatch her from under Li Chongg’s grasp.
However, before he could even stand up, the man in black struck him with a palm.
Yan the sixth spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and collapsed heavily on the ground.
Seeing this, Wang Ling’er and Du Danian also rushed over.
However, they were simply too weak.
In just one encounter, they were sent flying out.
“Talk fast, where is the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant exactly?
If you don’t tell, I will kill them all?” The sinister man said with a hoarse and furious voice.
“The Jade Pendant is really with Immortal Master Li, if you want it, go ask him!” Shen Xingchen cried out.
“You’re still lying to , you really think I dare not kill?” The sinister man beca enraged and raised his hand to kill Yan the sixth.
Just then, the door suddenly “creaked” open.
Subsequently, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes entered, holding a Jade Pendant and striding forward confidently.
“She didn’t lie to you, the Jade Pendant you ntioned is indeed in my hands!”
Upon seeing the newcor, the hearts of the sinister man, Li Chongg, Shen Xingchen, and others, all skipped a beat.
Instantly, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, the sinister man bowed to Li Chen, saying, “I am Bai Changyuan from the Bai Family of the Miao Territory, I have seen Immortal Master Li!”
Li Chen casually smiled, lifted the Jade Pendant in his hand, and asked: “There are two of these pendants, right?”
Bai Changyuan was silent for a mont, then nodded and replied: “Yes, this object is a treasured relic of our Bai Family.
If Immortal Master Li is willing to return it, my Bai Family is willing to pay handsoly for it!”
Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked coldly: “Do I look like soone who needs money?”
Bai Changyuan didn’t dare to respond, and after weighing his words, said: “Whatever Immortal Master Li needs, as long as my Bai Family has it, we will definitely offer it!”
Li Chen firmly stated: “I want the other Jade Pendant!”
Before Li Chen’s words even finished, Bai Changyuan flatly refused: “That’s impossible, this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant is the treasured relic of our Bai Family, how could we possibly hand it over so easily?”
Li Chen scornfully chuckled: “If the Bai Family is gone, what use will you have for this treasured relic?”
Bai Changyuan was taken aback by this remark, montarily not understanding the implication in Li Chen’s words.
Li Chen coldly looked at him and said: “Now, I give you two choices.
First, hand over the other Jade Pendant quietly so we can all live in peace.
The second option, I will go to the Miao Territory to annihilate the Bai Family and take away the Jade Pendant.
You are all smart people, you should know how to choose, right?”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Bai Changyuan furiously retorted: “Immortal Master Li, don’t be too excessive; do you really think the Bai Family is casual prey that can be easily manipulated?”
Li Chen continued to scoff: “In these past few months, have the heinous things I’ve done been few?
I don’t mind adding one more to the list, right?”
