Chapter 24 Investing in Liu Xinyue

Even though she would soon be forced to marry Wang Meng, whom she had never met, Liu Xinyue could understand Liu Yishui to some extent.

Unfortunately, this was ultimately contrary to Liu Xinyue's ambition to travel among the stars and the sea.

Li Chang'an glanced at Liu Xinyue, feigning extreme grief, but Liu Yishui's death also meant that Cangyun Sect was about to take over the foundation of Qinglan Sect.

But on such a joyous day, it's really putting Li Changzhuang in a difficult position to appear heartbroken.

His appearance was somewhat comical, like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Liu Xinyue, the situation between the Cangyun Sect and the Qinglan Sect is already irreconcilable. If your father doesn't die, then I, the sect master, will be the one to die."

"I, Li Chang'an, do not consider myself a kind person, but I am certainly not an utterly wicked one either, so naturally I do not wish to exterminate them all!"

Immediately, Li Chang'an took out the heavy ancient sword that he had been keeping behind him, and with a forceful flick, threw it in front of Liu Xinyue.

"This sword seems to have a special connection with you. I, the sect leader, welcome you to seek revenge at any time!"

Upon seeing the ancient sword that Li Chang'an had tossed to her, Liu Xinyue was naturally unwilling to accept it.

She did not pick up the ancient sword. Watching her father fall from the sky, she ran over and stared at Li Chang'an.

"Aren't you afraid of the Wang family?"

"What can we do now that things have come to this?"

Liu Xinyue's body trembled slightly, she sighed, and her smile appeared somewhat sad.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating.

"Fine! Although I don't want to marry that scoundrel Wang Meng, what's wrong with sacrificing myself for my father and for the Qinglan Sect!"

Looking at Liu Xinyue, Ning Hanruo, who was standing to the side, was somewhat moved.

Unfortunately, they were on different sides, and Ning Hanruo would never soften her heart.

She knew all too well that keeping someone as talented and hostile as Liu Xinyue alive would one day become a source of trouble for their Cangyun Sect.

Therefore, she moved swiftly and came to Li Chang'an's side, asking the question.

"Sect Leader Li, have you considered keeping such a talented person? Otherwise, why would you keep him around?"

Li Chang'an shook his head. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely eliminate the threat completely, but so far, he has only encountered Liu Xinyue, the chosen one.

So, even with certain risks, he wanted to keep Liu Xinyue as his "chive" (a metaphor for exploitation).

He looked at Ning Hanruo's captivating figure, smiled faintly, and said in a meaningful tone.

"The development of our Cangyun Sect is destined to need some whetstones. I think keeping Su Muxue and Liu Xinyue can also encourage the sect's disciples to cultivate diligently."

"Furthermore, if some disciples within the sect do not diligently cultivate..."

Upon hearing this, a faint glint of anger flashed in Li Chang'an's eyes.

"Our sect will not tolerate these people disrupting the thriving atmosphere of our Cangyun Sect."

After hearing Li Chang'an's explanation, Ning Hanruo knew she could no longer persuade her. She looked at Liu Xinyue, then at Li Chang'an, and sighed inwardly.

"How could Li Chang'an be so soft-hearted? We must take this opportunity to eliminate Liu Xinyue."

In the sky, the original clear sun was gradually obscured by the drifting dark clouds. Inside the Qinglan Sect, the originally bright stone slabs darkened, and the uneven particles on the stone slabs appeared more textured until they were gradually difficult to see.

Li Chang'an, wielding the Desert Sword, his long hair flowing, pointed his sword at Liu Xinyue.

"I'm giving you a chance for revenge, and you don't have to sacrifice yourself."

Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Liu Xinyue was startled. She didn't understand what Li Chang'an intended to do, but she didn't have much affection for him.

Liu Xinyue was surprised that Li Chang'an refused to accept the returned betrothal gifts, but she also had a glimmer of hope for his promise to her.

But now it seems that Li Chang'an is a big liar.

Liu Xinyue cursed inwardly.

"They claim to be helping me, but they want to destroy my sect and kill my father. What kind of help is this, that's worse than an animal!"

However, she did not tell Li Chang'an what was on her mind. Now that she had a chance to live and take revenge, Liu Xinyue naturally did not want to miss it.

"What opportunity?"

Upon hearing Liu Xinyue's question, Li Chang'an's eyes crinkled, revealing a set of white teeth, and he chuckled.

"A chance to spare your life and bestow upon you!"

Immediately, Li Chang'an swung his sword, sending a burst of spiritual energy toward Liu Xinyue.

Seeing this, Liu Xinyue wasn't surprised. She gritted her teeth and cursed loudly.

"You treacherous bastard! My Qinglan Sect should never have formed a marriage alliance with your Cangyun Sect in the first place!"

"I've broken my promise?"

A slight smile appeared on Li Chang'an's lips. If Liu Xinyue in front of him hadn't been a woman of destiny, Li Chang'an would have sent her to meet the King of Hell after she said those words.

"You people of the Qinglan Sect are truly shameless! Wasn't it you who proposed annuling the engagement? Yet you dare to turn around and bite the hand that feeds you, the sect leader!"

His voice had barely faded when his spiritual energy struck Liu Xinyue.

Blood splattered everywhere, and a few drops of blood splashed onto the ancient sword in the air, carried by the wind!

The ancient sword hummed and murmured. Its ancient yellow body gradually cracked open, revealing a deep purple-blue blade. The carvings of stars on the blade seemed to be full of life, faintly glowing.

The blade, originally dull as lead and without luster, was transformed into something new after the sword body cracked.

boom--

The original ancient sword's cracked, yellowish-brown blade began to be absorbed by the newly exposed blade.

Within three breaths, the Wuming Yijian San began to emit an ancient aura, which began to merge with Liu Xinyue's aura.

Seeing the changes in the ancient sword, Liu Xinyue felt a sense of disbelief, but the familiar aura made it seem perfectly natural to her.

"This sword is mine? Why does it feel so familiar?"

Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Li Chang'an chuckled.

"Take this sword, and I, the sect leader, will give you a chance for revenge!"

Liu Xinyue simply channeled her spiritual power, and the Lifeless Sword flew swiftly toward her.

Should she accept it or not? Liu Xinyue was still hesitating in her mind.

But feeling the power emanating from Wuming, Liu Xinyue's body began to stir, and she made up her mind.

If this were applied to Liu Xinyue, but to Liu Yishui and Li Chang'an, they would have already picked up Wuming and fled.

Why not take it if it's free? Who wouldn't want it for free? Especially Liu Xinyue, who has a grudge against Li Chang'an.

What are your conditions?

Liu Xinyue bit her lip lightly. She was unwilling to owe her enemy a favor, as she believed that doing so would damage her Dao heart.

Upon hearing Liu Xinyue's words, Li Chang'an and Ning Hanruo were momentarily stunned, but soon smiles appeared on their faces.

Li Chang'an shook his head, a wicked thought rising in his mind.

"She's beautiful and talented, but unfortunately, she's all show and no substance."

Immediately, he moved and appeared in front of Liu Xinyue, grabbing her and looking her up and down.

He gave a wicked smile and teased her.

"You're willing to name your terms? Then I won't hold back."
