He had even looked down on them, as if they weren't worth his time!
The coldness and disgust in his eyes made everyone's scalp tingle. They had no idea what they'd done to draw the Demonic Sect's attention.
Ji Yifan looked at Lin Fan, who was now gravely injured, and was just about to speak...
Suddenly!
A large group of Dao Yi Sacred Sect disciples arrived!
"This man is someone our Saintess personally ordered us to kill. He's wanted by the Dao Yi Sacred Sect!"
"Attack!"
They loudly explained why they were there, then immediately joined the ranks of those attacking Lin Fan!
Seeing yet another group arrive,
Lin Fan's eyes widened. He was utterly stunned!
"What?!"
His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. He hadn't expected the Dao Yi Sacred Sect to have a warrant out for him too!
Under the relentless pursuit of the Demonic Sect disciples and the Dao Yi Sacred Sect disciples, even with all his Divine Abilities, he couldn't help spitting blood as he desperately dodged their attacks!
At that moment, he had no chance to strike back at all!
Seeing that he couldn't hold out,
Lin Fan immediately looked toward Ji Yifan, who stood above Taixu Sacred Land, and hurriedly called, "Holy Son, save me!"
Seeing the situation before him,
Ji Yifan's eyes widened, and all thoughts of trying to mediate vanished.
"There's nothing I can do about this..."
As Lin Fan shouted for help, he immediately shook his head.
Though Taixu Sacred Land was no weakling, it couldn't afford to offend both the Demonic Sect and the Dao Yi Sacred Sect at once.
Besides, Lin Fan wasn't even truly a disciple of Taixu Sacred Land.
When he saw that Ji Yifan wasn't going to help,
Lin Fan failed to dodge in time, and a Dao Yi Sacred Sect disciple's longsword pierced through his chest!
"Pfft!!"
His pupils contracted, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
His aura was now feeble beyond words. If this went on, he was as good as dead!
A powerful sense of impending death rose within him, and he let out an anguished roar!
Right then,
"Boom!!!"
A thunderous rumble rang out!
Inside the ring on Lin Fan's hand, Old Yu's expression turned complicated. He sighed.
"Fine..."
He shook his head helplessly and began to burn his soul to save Lin Fan!
The next second,
A vast aura erupted from Lin Fan, and streaks of light enveloped him.
"I, Lin Fan, will avenge this one day!!!"
In the next instant, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light and fled at breakneck speed!
It all happened too suddenly. The disciples of the two sects failed to stop him in time and could only watch as their target escaped into the distance!
Seeing this,
"Who's helping him?!"
Murong Dieyi frowned too. The terrifying aura had made her lose focus for a moment, and by the time she recovered, Lin Fan had already fled!
As the crowd erupted into an uproar,
Su Changqing looked at Lin Fan, who'd been gravely wounded and had even burned his essence blood to escape, and smiled.
"Wonderful, wonderful..."
He couldn't help applauding.
And yet, it had all been far too easy.
Did he need to step in?
No!
Just then,
Murong Dieyi returned, her expression somewhat uneasy.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't kill him. But he's badly wounded, and Demonic Sect disciples have already gone after him..."
She glanced at Su Changqing, whose expression was calm, and spoke in a cold voice.
The killing intent in her heart was now more overwhelming than ever.
She hadn't expected that man to escape!
Hearing this,
Su Changqing looked at Murong Dieyi's troubled expression and paid it little mind.
"Dieyi, don't let it bother you. Sit."
He spoke calmly, his manner quite gentlemanly.
He wasn't concerned because Lin Fan was, after all, the original novel's male lead and a child of fortune. It was only natural that he wouldn't die so easily.
Watching Su Changqing's nonchalant attitude,
The Demoness gritted her teeth. But when she heard him address her so intimately despite this being their first meeting, her cheeks flushed faintly.
"Has this man really learned to take everything in stride...?"
After sitting down, she studied Su Changqing again, musing to herself.
By rights, no one could stay calm when faced with how detestable Lin Fan would become in the future.
But Su Changqing was just like he was in the diary. He wasn't particularly ruffled.
Just then,
The Diary Instance appeared before her.
[It's just Lin Fan. I don't care whether he lives or dies. Compared to the future War of All Heavens, what does he even matter?]
[By comparison, being here with Dieyi right now, enjoying a moment of peace, is what I want.]
[In this lifetime, I only hope there'll be no regrets between us.]
[It's nice not having to go through the whole "fighting before we become friends" routine again.]
[I vaguely remember that the first time I met Dieyi, she attacked me without a word. She really does have a fiery temper...]
[But once you've spent enough time together, you realize that Dieyi's heart is nothing like her outward appearance. Sometimes, she's actually quite cute...]
[Dieyi, let's make this lifetime count...]
As Murong Dieyi watched Su Changqing update his diary, the words appearing in the Diary Instance made her face grow hotter and hotter.
"This guy...!"
She kept her expression composed, but inside, she felt a sweetness spreading through her.
In the future, she and Su Changqing would meet and fall in love—and they'd start out fighting before they became friends.
After reading the diary,
Murong Dieyi's cheeks reddened, and she felt even more nervous.
"Did... did he just call me cute???"
She blinked. When Su Changqing turned toward her, she quickly averted her eyes.
No one had ever called her that before.
Cute?
She was a Demoness, after all!
Hmph!
It seemed...
She really would fall in love with Su Changqing in the future!
