Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Today… You Must All Die! (First Update)
With those words, Fan Mengxue’s aura soared abruptly, and her eyes turned into a demonic dark red.
A voluptuous Mandala Flower gradually appeared on her slender neck and cheeks.
Xue An watched quietly, a hint of anger concealed in his eyes.
Griffin bowed slightly, his manner dignified and graceful, as he said, “Respected Empress, welcome back!”
The Night Devil Empress’s face bore an extremely cold smile, speaking to Xue An from above.
“Xue An, you killed my Night Demon Valley disciples! Today, I will settle this account with you!”
Xue An looked up at Fan Mengxue, who floated in mid-air like a Demon God, and said indifferently, “Night Demon Valley? So, you are also a member of the Hidden Immortal Sect?”
The Night Devil Empress let out a cold laugh, “That’s right, surely you didn’t think that the power of the Hidden Immortal Sect was limited to so little? Let me tell you the truth, the real Immortal Gates are within Kunlun, any of our elders could descend and crush you with a single finger!”
Then the Night Devil Empress’s eyes flashed with greed, “But this matter is not beyond discussion. As long as you are willing to disclose the secret of Tianyuan, I might consider sparing you!”
The Night Devil Empress stumbled upon a bottle of Tianyuan and, to her amazement, discovered that this potion actually resonated with Spiritual Energy, capable of enhancing one’s Cultivation Level.
This discovery left her ecstatic!
In Kunlun, any elixir that could enhance Cultivation Level was worth a fortune!
She had never expected that such a thing could exist in the mundane world.
That’s why she painstakingly devised a plan to possess Fan Mengxue’s body in order to get close to Xue An and pry out the secret of Tianyuan.
Having heard her words, Griffin understood why the Night Devil Empress had gone to such great lengths to approach Xue An.
He also knew the effects of Tianyuan, thus his face too was filled with greed.
“Xue An, the Empress has already compromised, and I promise that today, as long as you hand over the formula for Tianyuan, I shall let all the people go!”
Griffin’s words incited fierce commotion.
Many people began to agitate.
“Tell them!”
“That’s right! Otherwise, we’re all going to die today!”
This was a pleading tone.
Some even turned their fury towards Xue An, blaming him for their current predicament.
“So you’re the bastard behind all this!”
“Spit it out, or we won’t let you off!”
The venue turned chaotic.
Cries of despair and curses mingled together, but their target was all directed at Xue An.
Mr. Long looked at one of the most eagerly agitating individuals by his side and couldn’t help but shout angrily, “Have you all lost your mind? It’s Griffin who is holding us hostage, yet you hurl such abuse at Mr. Xue, how does that make sense?”
Mr. Long’s words caused some people to shamefacedly shut their mouths, but more still glared at Xue An in anger.
At that moment, the Night Devil Empress laughed coldly, “Xue An, do you see? If you don’t speak up today, not only will I not let you go, but neither will the others present here!”
Under such pressure, Xue An, standing at the eye of the storm, slowly raised his head, his expression neither sad nor joyful.
But the Night Devil Empress suddenly felt tense inside.
Because she noticed that Xue An’s gaze was too calm, disturbingly so.
“When I was in school, I had made a promise to her that if anyone dared to bully her, I would stand up for her.”
Xue An spoke slowly, his tone untouched by emotion.
“She had lost both parents at a young age, leading a difficult childhood, and because she was pretty, she attracted countless troubles after starting school.”
“Yet even so, she never gave up on herself. When those people bullied her, she would just hide away and cry secretly! Because she said no one in this world cared for her anymore!”
From a distance, An Yan, who originally wore a worried look, suddenly felt her eyes turning red.
“In my eyes, she is like a sister to me!”
“And you dared to imprison her soul and torment it day after day?”
Towards the end, Xue An’s tone was filled with a surge of killing intent!
