61: Am I the center of attention?

Seeing Chen Xian approach, Liu Ruyan felt as if she had found a savior!

Now, only Chen Xian could turn the tide.

However, just as he was about to speak, Zi Yun very skillfully linked her arm through Chen Xian's!

This scene stung her eyes deeply.

It was more explosive than anything Zi Yun could have said.

“Chen Xian, what is your relationship with her?”

Facing Liu Ruyan's dejected and disappointed expression,

Chen Xian suddenly felt the guilty conscience of a legitimate wife facing a mistress.

But on second thought,

Liu Ruyan didn't seem to have much to do with him.

He immediately straightened his back and said, “This doesn't seem to concern you!”

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan felt as if her heart was bleeding.

But seeing how the two of them seemed to be in love,

She still gritted her teeth and said coldly, “Chen Xian, I am the Fiancée personally designated by your father!”

“After your father passed away, I have a responsibility to look after you and prevent you from going astray!”

Originally, Chen Xian's heart was calm.

But hearing Liu Ruyan's words, he instantly became furious!

He walked forward.

Zi Yun's heart skipped a beat; surely Chen Xian wouldn't waver, would he?

However, Chen Xian's next words allowed Zi Yun to set her mind at ease.

Chen Xian put his hands on his hips and said angrily, “You still have the nerve to mention my father?”

“Liu Ruyan, how has our Chen family treated you? In the entire Jubei City, even a dog knows!”

Da Huang even subconsciously nodded his head!

“And what about you? You treated my previous feelings for you like dog shit. My Cheap Old Father has been dead for a year, and what have you been doing?”

“Exchanging love letters with your good younger brother in the capital? Or constantly trying to distance yourself from me?”

“Liu Ruyan, what kind of good person are you trying to pretend to be at a time like this?”

“I have no relationship with you, none at all!”

Chen Xian's words

caused all the color to drain from Liu Ruyan's face!

If Zi Yun's words had made Liu Ruyan's heart uneasy,

then Chen Xian's speech

was equivalent to sentencing Liu Ruyan to death.

“I...”

She even wanted to defend herself,

but she found she had no way to start!

Because it seemed all of this was caused by her!

No one else could be blamed for this.

If anyone was to be blamed, it was herself!

After Chen Xian finished speaking, he said with a cold gaze, “Liu Ruyan, we owe each other nothing!”

“You should leave!”

He turned back and put his arm around Zi Yun's waist.

This action deeply wounded Liu Ruyan's heart.

As for Zi Yun, she was overjoyed at this moment.

Even if it gave her the image of a 'bad woman', she simply didn't want Chen Xian and Liu Ruyan to get too close!

Compared to Liu Ruyan's despondency,

Zi Yun was in high spirits!

However, just then,

a sharp voice suddenly came from the center of the city.

“Alarm! Alarm! An army of Demonic Cultivators is attacking the city! Citizens of Jubei City are not to enter or leave as they please. All combat-capable Cultivators must immediately follow this General's command! Resist the Demonic Cultivators!”

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's sadness was instantly diverted!

“Not good!”

She glanced at Chen Xian.

“Do not leave the residence!”

After saying that, she vanished from the spot.

Zi Yun also looked at the jade pendant at her waist.

“Oh no, my Revered Master is also summoning me!”

“Then go quickly!”

Zi Yun also quickly left the Marquis Jubeis Residence!

Chen Xian's expression also became somewhat solemn.

“Demonic Cultivators... why have they returned?”

“And this time, it's actually an all-out attack!”

He looked at Night Fiend and the others.

“Do you have any thoughts on this?”

Night Fiend and the others had thought Chen Xian would suspect them, but seeing that this man had no such intention at all,

they were momentarily moved.

“Young Master, I advise you to hurry and hide!”

“Hide? What do you mean?”

Chen Xian asked in confusion, “Does this have something to do with your previous mission to capture me?”

Night Fiend and the other Demonic Cultivators looked at each other.

Finally, Night Fiend stepped forward and said awkwardly, “Young Master, you may not know how much your identity is worth in the eyes of us Demonic Cultivators!”

“I... am very valuable in the eyes of you Demonic Cultivators?”

“Right, I forgot to ask you about this. Why exactly were you trying so hard to capture me?”

Night Fiend scratched his head.

He said in a low voice, “Young Master! In the camp of Demonic Cultivators, you are the stepping stone to awaken the Ancient Moon Demon, and even more so, you are the vessel for Lord Moon Demon!”

Hiss!

Speaking of a vessel, the other night, those Demonic Cultivators had indeed said so!

“I am a vessel?”

“A vessel to awaken the Ancient Moon Demon?”

Chen Xian was completely bewildered.

He had some understanding of the Ancient Moon Demon; it was the strongest existence among ancient Demonic Cultivators.

Legend had it that as long as it was night and the moon came out, the Moon Demon would appear with it.

Especially on the night of a full moon, the Moon Demon was incredibly powerful.

To the point where even the orthodox sects joined together could do nothing against him.

How could he be involved with such a malevolent person?

“Although I don't know the specific details, the North Continent Demon Lord has been monitoring you from the shadows! As long as Spiritual Qi can flow within your body and you can cultivate, then we Demonic Cultivators must capture you!”

“To be used to resurrect or even awaken Lord Moon Demon, provoke a great war, and take control of the North Continent!”

After Chen Xian finished listening,

His heart skipped a beat.

Holy shit, after all this time,

I've become their target?

He had initially thought the Demonic Cultivators were targeting him because of his Cheap Old Father.

After all, from Chen Buyu's mouth, Chen Xian knew his Cheap Old Father had killed many Demonic Cultivators in his youth!

They were even irreconcilable enemies!

But now it seemed,

everything had a traceable cause.

Could it be that he could cultivate, but his Spiritual Root was sealed by his father? If not, he likely would have become the vessel in the eyes of the Demonic Cultivators.

In the end, his father died, and he accidentally transmigrated and obtained the Invincible Sword Body.

Once he could cultivate, the Demonic Cultivators who had been silent for hundreds of years began to emerge constantly.

So that's it!

So that's how it is!

The reason for everything lies with him!

“Furthermore, we don't know the reason, but the Demon Lord is very anxious, saying that if we miss this opportunity, we might have to wait another hundred years!”

“So Young Master, we should stay honestly in the residence!”

At this time, Zhao Hu also said, “Young Master, Night Fiend is right. Outside there are the General and the brothers of the Divine Strategy Army, so surely nothing will happen!”

Chen Xian stroked his chin.

Hmm... since he was the flashpoint of the conflict, hiding in the residence was indeed the safest choice.

However, just then,

the System's voice rang in his mind.

【Ding! Today's intelligence has been reorganized!】

【Daily Intelligence 1: The demonic elephant bone sword will become stronger if it is stained with demon blood.】

demonic elephant bone sword?

Chen Xian subconsciously looked at the long sword at his waist. Was the elephant bone sword stained with the blood of the Ancient Demonic Elephant called the demonic elephant bone sword?

It would become stronger if stained with demon blood?

He immediately looked toward Night Fiend!
