CHAPTER 183: CHAPTER 179: YOU CAN BUY YOUR LIFE!

"Chen Xuan, he cannot die!"

Even if I don’t want to, I have to speak up now.

"Then buy his life!"

Chen Xuan said coldly. Since Zhou Zheng wanted to make friends with him, he’d give him this face.

Of course, the real reason is still sensing that Zhou Zheng’s strength is not weak.

Coupled with having the National Spirit, Chen Xuan wasn’t confident.

"Buy his life!"

Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Luo Tian’s life was not at stake, everything else could be negotiated. Of course, how to buy and how much was needed, he didn’t care. After all, the Sanqing Sect had plenty of good things.

So he asked, "What do you want?"

"I want ’Luohe’!"

To want, of course, is to want the best. He had vivid memories of ’Luohe,’ for that day, Luo Tian was incredibly arrogant in Celestial Water Commandery, relying solely on it.

Otherwise, just with his mediocre first rank, Gu Xiu could crush him with one hand.

"No! Don’t even think about it!"

As soon as he heard the demand for ’Luohe,’ Luo Tian went berserk and roared.

At this moment, he completely forgot how strong Chen Xuan was!

The fear in his heart also vanished without a trace.

His eyes turned bloodthirsty once again, staring intently at Chen Xuan in front of him. "’Luohe’ is Sanqing Sect’s most powerful Spiritual Treasure. You—dream on!"

Without ’Luohe,’ the Sanqing Sect would be nothing more than second-rate!

It was only with it that he could stand out among the many first ranks with no one to provoke him.

Without it, he’d just be an ordinary first rank.

"Luo Tian, think clearly, this is to save your life. No matter how powerful ’Luohe’ is, if you’re dead, the Sanqing Sect is finished. Think carefully!"

Zhou Yi hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to immediately demand ’Luohe’!

But thinking about it, it made sense. With his strength, what else could interest him but that?

At this point, he could only try to persuade Luo Tian, since if he didn’t agree, he’d have to die, and if he died, Great Zhou’s National Spirit would be affected.

One link connects to another!

"Damn it!"

Even though he’d received royal education since childhood, he couldn’t help but swear at that moment.

"Exactly, it’s just ’Luohe,’ a broken thing, trading for your life. You’re the Young Master of Sanqing Sect, a first rank. I still think it’s a fair trade!"

Si Hong also joined the persuasion.

Of course, he wasn’t being kind; he wished Luo Tian would hand over ’Luohe’!

Without it, Luo Tian would be a useless first rank, only elevated by pills, not worth worrying about.

In the future, the title of the top Sect would belong to the Blood Pool Sect.

Although there were a few Sects whose strength wasn’t weaker than the Blood Pool Sect, he’d deal with Sanqing Sect first.

"Nonsense! Si Hong, don’t think I don’t know your schemes. Dream on!" Luo Tian roared in fury.

"But do you have any alternatives?"

Si Hong sneered.

If he didn’t hand it over, Chen Xuan would take his life! If he did, he stayed alive! It was that simple!

Who told him to court death, even trying to plant ’Meng Hua’ on Chen Xuan and his group!

He really didn’t know the meaning of the word "death."

"Yes, Luo Tian, hand it over. Life is still important, after all, keeping a green mountain intact, not afraid of..." At this moment, a square-faced, blue-clad middle-aged man spoke, but suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Because right now, Chen Xuan was watching him with an amused yet scrutinizing look.

Suddenly he realized his words were inappropriate.

Not afraid?

Not afraid of what! Was he thinking of avenging Chen Xuan!

Really....

He quickly plastered a smile on his face, "A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, haha!"

Seeing this,

Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze, looking back at Luo Tian, "My patience is limited, are you giving or not! Give a clear answer!"

Phrasing done, the aura of the Five Layers of Purity surged over him like a tidal wave.

"Bang!"

Kneeling on both knees!

Having already sustained a severe injury from a palm strike by Xuan Er, he couldn’t withstand the overwhelming pressure any longer.

"Give in, living is always best!"

Zhou Yi shook his head, speaking again.

At this moment, Luo Tian’s firm resolve wavered with the kneel, and with Zhou Yi’s persistent persuasion, he was more inclined to hand over Luohe.

Of course, he knew none of these people had good intentions.

But Zhou Yi said a true thing: living is always best.

Moreover,

If he died, Sanqing Sect would be without a first rank master and would soon be divided up.

However, that was ’Luohe’!

An ancient Spiritual Treasure.

Even though, in his heart, he was willing to hand it over, he still couldn’t bring himself to speak.

"Give it to him, Tian’Er!"

At this point, Yue Qi endured the intense pain, speaking with difficulty.

Instantly, Luo Tian could hold on no longer.

With a trembling right hand, he slowly took ’Luohe’ from his chest, staring at it intensely, finally forcefully suppressing his reluctance, injecting Spiritual Power into it,

"Poof!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out! His face grew paler still,

From a young age, he had nurtured ’Luohe,’ and forcefully severing it only added to his injuries.

With a pained smile, he looked at it, full of reluctance, but—

Gritting his teeth, he threw it over.

Chen Xuan caught ’Luohe,’ the aura instantly receding!

But Luo Tian, who was kneeling, remained motionless, deeply hunched over, seemingly completely drained.

"This is ’Luohe’!"

Chen Xuan felt its antiquated aura as he touched it, a feeling he couldn’t quite describe, and then he tucked it into his chest, planning to study it later.

"Bring everyone out!"

He didn’t let Xuan Er stay behind, mainly not wanting him to meet Cosine; this woman was no longer the one in Xuan Er’s heart.

This intervention settled that fate.

And there’s no need for any further meetings.

"Bring out everyone from the Yu Family!" At this moment, Luo Tian had already stood up with Yue Qi’s support, his eyes vacant and his voice hoarse, completely devoid of his usual arrogant demeanor.

Not long after,

Cosine, along with her father and brother, were brought before Chen Xuan.

"Come with me!"

Chen Xuan said coldly, and then strode out of there.

"Chen Xuan, I hope you won’t become an enemy of our Great Zhou in the future!" Zhou Yi suddenly spoke as he watched him leave.

"Whether it’s Great Zhou or Great Xia, I won’t get involved in your matters, but my people, you cannot touch!" Chen Xuan left these words and drifted away with the three people.

"All of you, go back! You, just take a good rest for now, don’t worry about the matters in Jingzhou!"

After saying this, Zhou Yi stepped into the air and headed towards the Imperial Palace.

With his departure, others from the various sects also began to leave one after another.

At this moment, the mansion, which had turned to ruins, was left with only Luo Tian and Yue Qi.

Suddenly—

"Puuu...."

Luo Tian spewed mouthfuls of fresh blood and collapsed with a loud thud....

"The Luo River is gone, and now Jingzhou is gone too!"

His Sanqing Sect, from now on, would become a second-rate sect.

Under such a blow, he could no longer hold on.

"Tian’Er!"

Yue Qi let out a roar!

....

Outside the gates of Yonghe Commandery.

Chen Xuan suddenly stopped, turned around, and his gaze fell on Cosine.

"The people have been saved!"

"From now on, you have no further ties with your master!"

"No matter what happens in the future, I don’t want you seeking out your master again!"

"Otherwise....."

"I understand!"

"That’s good!" Chen Xuan nodded slightly. At least she was tactful, saving him a lot of needless talk.

No matter what, she was once Xuan Er’s woman; some things are better left unsaid.

Consider it saving face for Xuan Er.

"Find a place to live your days in peace!"

Chen Xuan said his final sentence indifferently, then vanished from the sight of the three.

At this moment, Cosine could no longer hold it together and began to sob uncontrollably. All of this was her retribution.

"Xian’Er, it’s all my fault, it’s all my fault! You’ve suffered all these years!"

Yu Kuiyuan, seeing her like this, felt a pang in his heart.

If not for him, Cosine would have long been with Xuan Er, and the outcome would not have been like this.

It’s all the sins committed by the previous generation!

"What’s there to cry about?" Cosine’s brother couldn’t help but murmur at this moment.

"Get lost! You beast! How could I, Yu Kuiyuan, have a son like you!"

Yu Kuiyuan immediately flew into a rage. If not for Cosine, he would have died long ago in the wilderness. He, Yu Kuiyuan, is at least the head of a family; how could he have given birth to such a thing? It would have been better to have died at the hands of the Inspectorate.

"Let’s go!"

Cosine’s voice was very cold, devoid of any emotion. At this moment, she only wanted to find a remote place where no one knew her and live out her life.

"Sigh!"

....

Chen Xuan’s figure suddenly appeared in the carriage, then conveyed a message to Xuan Er.

He simply explained the situation.

Xuan Er, in the carriage, let out a faint sigh, and Cosine’s image resurfaced in his mind.

"Dust to dust, soil to soil! From now on, Cosine is no more."

At this moment, he genuinely let go of Cosine, as if she had died at the hands of the Inspectorate.

In a corner of his heart, there was only the most innocent version of Cosine from that period.

...

In the blink of an eye, several dozen days had passed.

Chen Xuan and his group finally returned to Youlan Mansion.

At the city gate.

"Sister, when you have time, come to Chen Mansion, okay? I will miss you." On the carriage, Su Yun held Ye Jincen’s hand, her face full of reluctance.

"Why don’t you just stay at Chen Mansion, Little Sister Ye!"

Su Wanqiu also suggested.

In her heart, she knew that it was only a matter of time between Ye Jincen and Chen Xuan, so why not just stay at Chen Mansion and save the hassle.

"I think I’ll go back first, I haven’t seen my father for a long time, and I miss him!"

Though she was willing in her heart, she hadn’t yet broken the paper-thin barrier with Chen Xuan. To just move into Chen Mansion like that felt inappropriate to her.

Moreover,

what she said was true; she had never been away from Ye Yilan for such a long time and missed him.

"Alright, let’s go with Little Sister Ye’s idea!"

Pei Yuenan spoke. Though they had all gotten along very well over this time, she was, after all, the eldest miss of Youlan Mansion, and her status was significant.

To suddenly move into Chen Mansion would not reflect well even on Ye Yilan.

They were back in Youlan Mansion anyways, and there would be plenty of time in the future, no rush for the moment.

"Hmm!"

Ye Jincen nodded slightly, gave a glance at Chen Xuan sitting inside, and then got off the carriage.

....

"What’s going on?"

Inside the carriage, Chen Xuan furrowed his brows slightly.

There wasn’t a single soul along the way, and it was broad daylight. Normally, by this time, the streets were bustling!

A squeaking sound,

the carriage came to a stop!

"Finally home! I’ll go knock on the door! Give Sister Xiaozhuzi a surprise! Hehe!"

Su Yun had a mischievous smile on his face.

Such a child, never seems to grow up; Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled!

"Bang bang bang!!!!!!!"

"Who is it?"
