Chapter 305: The Traitor’s Fate, Chen Changsheng: Get Me a Glass of Honey Water
In the face of Gu Zhengyi’s words, Lin Lang could hardly pay attention anymore.
He abruptly pulled out Gu Zhengyi’s heart and shouted loudly, “With Gu Zhengyi dead, I am the new leader of the Xuanwu Alliance.”
“The thief who stole the Demon Clan’s treasures has been captured, everyone stand down.”
Seeing this sudden turn of events, both the human and demon clans halted their actions.
Immediately after, Wu Yi had Chen Changsheng and Potato brought up.
“Old Hu, these two are the masterminds behind the theft of the Demon Clan’s treasures; please fulfill your promise.”
Saying this, Lin Lang waved to deactivate the city protection formation.
Upon witnessing this, Hu Qiuyue, half reclining on the back of a giant fox, soared towards the city walls.
She landed gently in front of Chen Changsheng and carefully scrutinized the man before her, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
“You’re the one who stole the treasures of the two clans?”
“That’s right.”
“What do you plan to do for compensation?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up and thought for a moment before saying, “What do you want?”
“I want you.”
“Uh-huh!”
“That’s not going to happen. I’m a man you’ll never have; why not ask for something else?”
“You’re really cold-hearted, after all I’ve done for you. Can’t you at least give me a little reward?”
As she spoke, Hu Qiuyue feigned weakness and began to lean into Chen Changsheng’s embrace.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng helplessly said, “You’re all grown-up foxes, how are you still playing this game?”
“If you do it like this, others will misunderstand.”
“Let them misunderstand; who caught hold of my heart anyway?”
“If you don’t agree, I’ll just cling to you like this until you do.”
“Is there anywhere better in this world than Qingqiu?”
Faced with Hu Qiuyue’s antics, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes and said.
“One thousand!”
“Ten thousand!”
“One thousand five.”
“Three thousand, it can’t be lower; or I’ll get angry.”
“Alright, three thousand it is, but I hope you won’t regret it later.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s agreement, Hu Qiuyue immediately beamed with joy, “Of course, I won’t regret it; no matter what happens, Qiuyue won’t regret it.”
“As long as you won’t regret it, now let’s handle the aftermath.”
“Also, don’t let this guy d*e just yet. For the sake of his master, I’ll let him become a white ghost.”
After saying that, the restraints and ropes on Chen Changsheng automatically fell away.
Then, Chen Changsheng grabbed Potato nearby and flew towards the Demon Clan’s camp.
He landed steadily on the back of the giant fox, adjusted to a comfortable reclined position, and then waved at the Human-faced Bee Queen.
“Hey, can you prepare a cup of honey water for me? My stomach hasn’t been great lately; I need to soothe my digestive system.”
Both clans, human and demon, were somewhat at a loss for how to react to Chen Changsheng’s behavior.
However, the Human-faced Bee Queen hesitated for a moment and really prepared a cup of honey water for Chen Changsheng, respectfully handing it over.
Seeing this scene, Hu Qiuyue smiled and approached Lin Lang, then took Gu Zhengyi’s heart from his hands.
Placing Gu Zhengyi’s heart in her chest, Hu Qiuyue began, “Gu Zhengyi! Gu Zhengyi!”
“Years ago, you came to Qingqiu seeking help, and seeing your nature was pure, I taught you the law.”
“When I taught you the law, I also said that if one day you stood against the Demon Clan, I would undoubtedly take your heart and show it to the world.”
“Now, this vow has truly come to pass.”
As she spoke, Hu Qiuyue cast a law spell, and the supposedly dead Gu Zhengyi suddenly began to cough violently.
Now that Gu Zhengyi had been revived, Hu Qiuyue turned back to Lin Lang.
“A little reminder: The turtle hibernates during winter, commonly known as ‘turtle breath.'”
“Your master practices a technique called the Xuanwu Return to Origin Method; why didn’t you think of having a fake d*ath technique?”
“But it’s also normal that you didn’t think of it; I never taught this technique even to your master.”
After saying that, Hu Qiuyue shot out a golden light that struck Lin Lang’s dantian, instantly stripping him of all his cultivation.
Having done everything, Hu Qiuyue stood up and announced, “The human cultivator who stole the Demon Clan’s treasures will be sealed in Qingqiu for three thousand years as punishment.”
Having announced the result, Hu Qiuyue looked at the severely injured Li Zhengyi and said with a smile.
“Zhengyi, it’s all over now. Do remember to visit Qingqiu sometime.”
“As for your disciple, the order has already been given to keep him alive.”
“I hope that after you finish your business, you can hand him over to us.”
“After all, you two have a master-disciple bond; I believe you won’t have the heart to k*ll your beloved disciple.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the weak Lin Lang immediately panicked.
“Old Hu, you can’t go back on your word! We had an agreement!”
Facing Lin Lang’s plea, Hu Qiuyue didn’t even glance at him.
Seeing that Hu Qiuyue was ignoring him, Lin Lang turned again to plead with Li Zhengyi.
“Master, save me!”
“I’m also a member of the human clan; you can’t hand me over to the Demon Clan!”
Watching the constantly pleading Lin Lang, Li Zhengyi, after glancing over at Hu Qiuyue, trembled as he said.
“Lin Lang has betrayed his master and ancestors. From today onwards, he is no longer a member of the Xuanwu Alliance; all matters of life and d*ath have nothing to do with the Xuanwu Alliance or the human clan.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Lang appeared dazed and collapsed to the ground.
Meanwhile, many humans on the city walls looked at Lin Lang with expressions filled with disdain and contempt.
As a member of the human clan, you can make mistakes, and you can stand by and watch; those things everyone can understand.
But you can’t be a traitor at a critical moment; this is something everyone cannot tolerate.
“Since Lin Lang is no longer related to the human clan, I will take him away now.”
Hu Qiuyue said with a smile, then took the completely depleted Lin Lang away.
Thus, the great battle between the human and demon clans fell absurdly to a close.
…
Demon Clan’s army.
“Oh dear~”
“Don’t be annoying, or I won’t pay attention to you anymore.”
The sounds of laughter between Chen Changsheng and Hu Qiuyue reached Lin Lang’s ears.
At this moment, Lin Lang had long lost his previous charming demeanor.
“Alright, there’s still a lot of time ahead; we have time to chat. But let’s get to the important business first.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng pushed away the clingy Hu Qiuyue and walked toward the destitute Lin Lang.
“Kid, you’re about to d*e; is there anything you want to say?”
“I can let you be a clear ghost as much as possible.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Lang looked at Chen Changsheng with bloodshot eyes.
“Survival of the fittest, there’s nothing more to say.”
“Being schemed against by you, I can only blame my skills for being insufficient.”
“Schemed against?”
“Hahaha!”
“Do you really think you’re worthy of scheming against me? You think too highly of yourself; everything today is self-inflicted.”
“Shut up!”
“If it weren’t for you instigating conflict between the human and demon clans, would I have ended up like this?”
Lin Lang screamed, hurling insults at Chen Changsheng, while Hu Qiuyue leaned against Chen Changsheng again.
“Darling, this person has a really foul mouth. Should I cut off his tongue?”
