Chapter 378 The Sacrificed Master Rebelled against the Sect 17
"Sister, do you still remember your two beloved disciples?" Lu Manman's lips curled up slightly, and she looked at Su Lan with a half-smile. At the same time, she slowly took out a delicate storage bag from her body. She closed her eyes lightly, muttering something, and a mysterious and ancient formula echoed with her voice.
Not long after, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, a flash of light appeared, and two figures appeared before her. Upon closer inspection, she saw Duan Qinian and Shen Qing, bound and covered in wounds, breathing their last. Their breaths were so weak, like candles in the wind, their flames of life threatening to go out at any moment.
Lu Manman looked down at the scene in front of her from a high position and said coldly: "Su Lan, as long as you are willing to obediently enter this formation, use your body as a sacrifice, and open the ladder to heaven for Lord Demon, I can spare their lives. Otherwise... hehe!"
Duan Qinian and Shen Qing, tortured for so long, were already losing consciousness and on the brink of death. But when they heard the name "Su Lan," they suddenly opened their eyes, as if infused with a surge of vitality. They looked at Su Lan with eyes filled with pleading and fear, and cried out with difficulty, "Master, save us!"
"I'm sorry, Master, it's all our fault. We, your disciples, shouldn't have harbored evil intentions to harm you. Please save us!" Duan Qinian's face was full of regret, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Shen Qing beside him also echoed: "Master, please agree to her quickly..."
However, facing the two disciples' desperate pleas, Su Lan's face remained sullen, expressionless. She stared at Duan Qinian and Shen Qing silently for a long moment before slowly asking, "Oh? Even if Lu Manman offered to sacrifice my life in exchange for your chance at survival, do you still expect your master to agree to such an unreasonable request?"
Duan Qinian and Shen Qing were both startled when they heard this. After looking at each other, they hesitated for a moment and then gritted their teeth and said, "This...this...Master, after all, we are still so young and have a bright future waiting for us. Moreover, you usually dote on us in every way. Can't you really forgive us again now? We already know we are wrong..."
"Oh, Lan girl, don't pay any attention to those two heartless, ungrateful fellows!" Elder Lin shook his head and sighed, glaring at the two men with an angry face. He wondered to himself: Why did Su Lan accept such unreliable disciples? After this commotion, he finally saw the true colors of these two people.
Let's talk about Lu Manman first. Not only did she betray her master and join the Demon Lord, she also cruelly harmed her own senior brother. She's simply insane! And these two guys in front of us are even worse. They are so shameless that they dare to use the so-called master-disciple relationship to threaten Su Lan. This is really outrageous!
"Yes, yes, my dear granddaughter, let me help you get rid of these two evildoers, so they won't continue to be an eyesore here!" Su Qingcang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward to hit the two men with a palm, sending them to the west. He saw him approaching with great momentum, the wind from his palm whistling, as if he could beat the two men into meat patties in the next moment.
However, at this moment, Su Lan took a step forward and stretched out his hand to stop Su Qingcang.
She said softly, "Grandfather, please calm down for now. There's no need for you to get your hands dirty. In my opinion, judging by their current state, which is neither human nor ghost, they probably won't last much longer."
After saying that, Su Lan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a scornful smile, and swept his eyes coldly over the two trembling guys.
"No, this is absolutely impossible! Su Lan, how can you treat your disciples so cruelly? Watching them die and doing nothing!" Lu Manman widened her eyes, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of her in disbelief.
Although the aura emanating from her could clearly tell him that this person was his sister, the behavior she displayed at this moment was very different from before, making her even more unpredictable.
"Hmph, you want to use my life to save you two ungrateful bastards? That's just wishful thinking! It's not worth it!" Su Lan responded coldly with a frosty face.
Hearing this, Duan Qinian, standing nearby, was utterly distraught. He pleaded, "Master, please have mercy and save our disciples!" However, his pleas failed to move Su Lan's cold heart; instead, they only upset her. Su Lan waved her hand impatiently, and two silence talismans shot out like lightning, landing precisely on the two disciples' mouths. Instantly, they were unable to utter a single sound, leaving them unable to open their mouths in terror, opening and closing them in vain.
At this moment, Lu Manman suddenly woke up, as if from a dream. She trembled and said, "You... you are not my sister at all!" At this moment, her panic reached its peak. If the person before her was not her always conservative sister, then the real Demon Lord must be in dire straits, in great danger. Thinking of this, Lu Manman felt dizzy, as if the whole world was about to collapse.
Su Lan ignored Lu Manman's questioning. With a flick of her wrist, she unleashed a blast of fierce sword energy, blasting directly towards the blood sacrifice formation Lu Manman had painstakingly crafted for an hour. With a resounding bang, the seemingly indestructible formation crumbled under the impact of the sword energy, disintegrating into countless fragments that flew everywhere.
While Lu Manman was still reeling from the shock of the formation's destruction, Su Lan flashed forward like a ghost. His sword gleamed with a cold light, and with lightning speed, it slashed across Lu Manman's fair neck. Instantly, blood gushed out, splattering the ground.
Seeing Lu Manman about to die, Su Lan showed no mercy. She quickly took out another empty bottle, muttered something, and cast a mysterious spell, forcibly pulling Lu Manman's soul from her body and carefully placing it in a bottle and sealing it.
"Old Su, your granddaughter is really impressive!" The ancestor of the Lin family widened his eyes, looking at Su Lan in disbelief, and muttered, "I've lived for so long, but this is the first time I've seen someone act so cleanly and efficiently without any delay!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but raised a thumbs up in the direction of Su Lan to express his sincere admiration.
Su Qingcang, standing nearby, didn't seem as amazed by Su Lan's performance as the others. Instead, he stared intently at Su Lan's elegant figure, lost in thought, unable to regain consciousness for a long time. After a while, a faint, wry smile appeared on his face, as if something had suddenly dawned on him.
Meanwhile, another Grand Elder from the Beast Taming Sect, whose cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Fusion Stage, was completely focused on the long-held aspirations of the crowd: Ascension. He asked solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Su Lan, I heard your grandfather say that if you successfully slay the Demon Lord, you will be able to unlock the ladder to the Immortal Realm. Is this true?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other six people present all turned their gazes towards Su Lan, each one filled with anticipation and nervousness, quietly waiting for her to give a definitive answer. However, facing everyone's expectant gazes, Su Lan simply nodded slightly. Although the movement was gentle, it conveyed a sense of unwavering faith to everyone.
At this time, Su Qingcang had already successfully broken through the bottleneck of the great perfection of the fusion period with the assistance of Wudao Ye, and it was the best time to ascend.
Su Lan's face was solemn, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, and she muttered, "The Phoenix has returned. Goddess Lu Lan has successfully captured the Demon God and the traitorous immortal Lu Manman who fled to the lower realms. I beg Father God to open the gates of heaven!"
