Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (34)
Chuzheng found a member of the Demon Clan.

“Deliver this to Ziyun Sect,” Chuzheng handed a small bottle to the Demon Clan member.

“…Demon Monarch, isn’t this, isn’t this the Brahma Spirit Pill?” Wasn’t this the treasured collection of the former Demon Monarch? The former Demon Monarch cherished it deeply. Why was it in the Demon Monarch’s hands?

And she was asking him to deliver it to Ziyun Sect, their sworn enemy!!

Had the Demon Monarch gone mad?

“Yes,” Chuzheng nodded. “You have a good eye.”

The Demon Clan member gave a dry laugh, swallowing hard, “This is… from the former Demon Monarch, does he, does he know about this?”

“I bought it.”

“…”

Had the Demon Monarch also become greedy for money? What about the promise to never sell it no matter what?

The former Demon Monarch, currently hunched somewhere with a bruised face counting Demon Crystals: “…” He was furious, this was robbery!

“Demon Monarch, sending it to Ziyun Sect… what for?”

“Just tell them what the Elixir Pill is for,” Chuzheng said. “Go ahead.”

Demon Clan member: “…”

The Brahma Spirit Pill was so precious because its formula had been lost, and no one knew how to refine it.

And the function of the Brahma Spirit Pill—

It could cleanse any Demonic Qi.

Chuzheng didn’t understand either, why a member of the Demon Clan would collect such a pill.

The Demon Clan member hastened to deliver the Elixir Pill to Ziyun Sect.

The people of Ziyun Sect were naturally suspicious of the Demon Clan’s intentions, but the Elixir Pill was genuine.

Currently, two people urgently needed the Elixir Pill because they had been infected with Demonic Qi.

One was Song Fenglan, the other was Lin Chen.

Thus, deciding whom to give the Elixir Pill became a problem.

The masters of the two disciples lost all their pride from years past, almost resorting to fighting to obtain the Elixir Pill for their disciple.

In the end, the Sect Master decided to administer it to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen possessed a Divine Artifact and was the most talented person in Ziyun Sect. In times of crisis, they needed him.

“Senior Brother,”

Song Fenglan’s eyes brimmed with tears. She had been infected with Demonic Qi earlier than Lin Chen and needed the Elixir Pill more.

She didn’t want to die.

Lin Chen, holding the Elixir Pill, was torn inside: “Junior Sister… I…”

“Chen’er, quickly take the Elixir Pill!” Wan Luo urged Lin Chen.

“Master, Junior Sister…” Lin Chen frowned.

“As long as we capture Chuzheng, we can use a Demon Bone in exchange,” Wan Luo whispered persuasively. “If you give it to Fenglan, are you certain she can capture Chuzheng to save you? Even if she captures her, are you going to turn into a woman?”

The image of himself dressed as a woman flashed through Lin Chen’s mind, sending a shiver down his spine.

“Junior Sister, I’m sorry.” His face filled with sorrow, “Once I’m well, I will definitely find a way to cure you.”

“Senior Brother…”

Song Fenglan watched with wide eyes as Lin Chen swallowed the Elixir Pill, her beautiful eyes shocked.

Hadn’t he said he loved her?

Why wouldn’t he give her the Elixir Pill?

He clearly knew that her time was short, that she wouldn’t last many days.

When one’s life hung by a thread and the other was unwilling to save them, even loved ones could harbor resentment.

“Pfft…” A mouthful of blood sprayed from Song Fenglan.

“Fenglan!” Song Fenglan’s master quickly supported her, glaring at Lin Chen, “Lin Chen, Wan Luo, well done!”

Even the Sect Master received a glare from Song Fenglan’s master.

He left with Song Fenglan, and although Lin Chen wanted to follow, the effect of the Elixir Pill made it impossible for him to catch up.

By the time Lin Chen had metabolized the Elixir Pill, Song Fenglan was no longer in Ziyun Sect.

Lin Chen vowed to capture Chuzheng, but in the areas overrun by the Demon Clan, he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of her.

The captured members of the Demon Clan either said they didn’t know, or they had never seen her.

They were clueless about who the new Demon Monarch was or where she might be. All orders were still given by the former Demon Monarch.

–

In a certain mountain valley.

Li Tang stood under a tree, looking up at the person above, the light in the depths of his eyes dark and profound.

“Why did you save Lin Chen?”

“I didn’t save him,” Chuzheng flatly denied.

Li Tang’s brow furrowed slightly, “You gave him elixir pills.”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t that saving him?”

“No.” Just because she gave him elixir pills didn’t mean she was saving him.

Li Tang: “…”

Now Lin Chen was hopping alive and kicking. If that wasn’t saving, then what was?

Chuzheng jumped down from the tree: “Giving him elixir pills doesn’t mean he can withstand this pill.”

When she sent it to the Ziyun Sect, she wasn’t sure who would take the pill.

But it seemed in the end, Lin Chen had chosen to take it himself.

Li Tang instantly caught on, “Did you tamper with the elixir pills?”

Chuzheng gave no affirmation or denial.

Did she look like the selflessly sacrificing type?

Being soft-hearted towards an enemy was akin to digging one’s own grave.

She was not that foolish.

If it weren’t for Bastard blocking the way, Lin Chen would have already been taken care of by now, saving her all this trouble.

Indeed, the one who most deserved to be dealt with was still Bastard.

[…]What does this have to do with me!!

–

Lin Chen couldn’t find Chuzheng and, gradually, his body began to change again. First, he was unable to recover for a long time after using spiritual power. Then his strength began to decline.

At first, he was able to hide it, but as time passed, others could see it.

Unable to keep it a secret any longer, Lin Chen could only tell Wan Luo and the Sect Master.

However, the entire Sect could not figure out what was wrong with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s abilities became increasingly weaker; even with a divine artifact in hand, he could not exert its true power.

The whispers of the Sect grew louder and more numerous.

They started with a respect for Elder Brother Lin Chen’s status, but as the Demon Clan became more and more rampant, these voices became more unrestrained.

Now, Lin Chen was nearly indistinguishable from a common person.

He smashed everything in his room to pieces.

“Why… Why has it become like this!”

As he smashed, Lin Chen howled in anger.

Why had he ended up like this.

“I am the most formidable person in the Ziyun Sect, it’s me!”

“Why has it turned out like this!”

“Why!”

Lin Chen sat amidst the devastation, disheveled and deranged, in a state of extreme misery.

“Elder Brother?” Someone outside knocked on the door: “The Sect Master and the Elders have come, would you… please come out?”

On hearing this, Lin Chen immediately scrambled up and opened the door to go out.

“Sect Master, Sect Master…” Lin Chen rushed in front of the Sect Master: “Sect Master, please look at me, why… I wasn’t like this, why have I become like this, please save your disciple.”

The Sect Master had a troubled expression: “Lin Chen…”

“Sect Master, you must have a way, right?”

Seeing a good disciple become like this, the Sect Master also felt distressed.

“Lin Chen, first get up, we will definitely find a way for your body,” the Sect Master consoled Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, reassured by the promise, calmed down a bit.

However, the next moment, Lin Chen heard the Sect Master say, “With your current strength, you are unable to wield the divine artifact. It would be better to hand over the divine artifact to combat the Demon Clan.”

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief: “What are you saying, Sect Master?”

The Sect Master quickly reassured: “Don’t be nervous, we’re only borrowing it temporarily. Once your body is better, the divine artifact will be returned to you.”
