The Villain Pleads With the Heroine To Kill Him

Chapter 42: The Man Behind Ye Qingcheng

“Haha, Xiao Yichen, Ye Qingcheng, what do you think of the gift I’ve prepared for you?”

Hearing Ji Lie’s question, everyone from the Righteous Faction looked gloomy.

“Yichen, what should we do?”

“Their group has become too strong for us to directly fight them.” A disciple of the Xiao Clan asked in a low voice.

“There’s no other way. Use the secret method and run.”

“Yes, they have more people in the late Gold Elixir Realm. If we continue to fight, all of us will definitely be wiped out.”

Where there’s life, there’s hope.

This time he came out with 50 disciples of the Xiao Clan. Now there were only 20 left. He couldn’t let all the disciples of the Xiao Clan die here. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to his father and the clan when he returned.

The other cultivators heard Xiao Yichen say retreat, so they also followed and left. As for Ye Qingcheng, she was thinking about what to do next. Should she fight desperately and use her secret method to kill for a while?

After all, she was no longer suppressed and could use her secret method properly, she would be able to kill at least a dozen or 20 demonic cultivators in the late Gold Elixir Realm.

However, before she could make up her mind, those Righteous Faction cultivators had already turned around and fled.

Xiao Yichen also quickly came to her side. “Junior Sister Qingcheng, let’s retreat.”

“Senior Brother Yichen, in fact, if we fight with all our strength, we can still fight!”

“Junior Sister Qingcheng, it’s too risky. Let’s retreat! We can leave the ancient battlefield in two days.”

“We may have a way to survive these two days fighting with these demonic sect cultivators!”

When Ji Lie found that the Righteous Faction cultivators were retreating, he sent some demons to chase after them and left 40 of them to surround Ye Qingcheng. His main target was Ye Qingcheng, so the others were not important.

On the Holy Maiden Sect’s side, Ye Qingcheng did not give the order to retreat. The remaining 50 people of the Holy Maiden Sect did not retreat but waited quietly.

Seeing that Ye Qingcheng was still hesitating, Xiao Yichen let out a long sigh. “Junior Sister Qingcheng, let’s go. It’ll be too late if we don’t go now!”

“Senior Sister, we’re not leaving. They killed many of our disciples. We must fight with them.”

“Yes, let’s fight to the death,” the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect shouted in unison. They might not be able to defeat these demonic experts, but they didn’t want to escape either.

Even if they died in the end, they would drag a few of them down with them.

“Senior Brother Yichen, you should leave.”

“Well, in that case, be careful.” Xiao Yichen sighed helplessly, then turned and left.

As a result, only Ye Qingcheng and the fifty disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect were the only ones left from the Righteous Faction.

The Holy Maiden Sect had sent out a hundred people this time, but half of them had met their demise. This was the biggest loss they had suffered in all the times they had gone out to train. She felt a little ashamed to face the elders of the sect.

Therefore, her junior sisters didn’t want to retreat, and she also didn’t want to retreat. At worst, she would perish with the demons.

Ji Lie was surprised to find that Ye Qingcheng and the people from the Holy Maiden Sect had not left, even though the other Righteous Faction cultivators had all left.

“Ye Qingcheng, you’re not running away?”

“Run? Why should I run? You’ve killed so many disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect. As the leader of this team, I, Ye Qingcheng, will not retreat even if I die in battle.”

“Hey, why are you so stubborn? You should know that I don’t want to kill you. Why do you have to seek death!”

“Great demon, don’t you dare have designs on my mother, or else my father will skin you alive.”

Hearing a tender voice, Ji Lie’s expression changed.

That thing could actually speak! He had found that this little thing could gather spiritual qi for Ye Qingcheng, but he didn’t expect it to be able to speak.

He had sent people to investigate before. Ye Qingcheng was a disciple of the Holy Maiden Sect and had never been betrothed. This little beast actually called Ye Qingcheng a mother and even had a father. In other words, there was a man behind Ye Qingcheng.

Who was it that beat him to it?

“Ye Qingcheng, when did you have a man? Why haven’t I heard of him?”

She originally had no close relationship with Qin Lu, but Xiao Gu’s sudden appearance caused some changes in her relationship with him. Now that Ji Lie had suddenly asked about her man, Ye Qingcheng couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

How should she answer this question? Should she say that she did have a man?

She didn’t have one at all, in truth.

Moreover, once she said that she did, not only would the people of the Demonic Sect misunderstand, but the disciples of the sect would also think that something had happened between her and Qin Lu.

If she said that she didn’t, who would believe that there was nothing between her and Qin Lu? Xiao Gu kept on calling her mother and calling Qin Lu it’s father. Who would believe that there was nothing between her and Qin Lu?

She couldn’t say that she had a man, but she couldn’t deny it either. It was really torturous. However, just as Ye Qingcheng was struggling with how to answer, a lazy voice sounded.

“Hey, how could this be? Didn’t you say that you were on the righteous path? Each of you ran faster than a rabbit. It’s really shameful!”

Hearing this voice, everyone turned their heads and saw Qin Lu slowly flying over on his sword.

Seeing Qin Lu, Xiao Gu immediately revealed an excited smile.

“Father, why did you come so late?! Last time, it was this big demon who injured Mother. Quick, hit him.”
