The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud
Chapter 1100

<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1100: Lin Ying's Decision

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I thought that as the grandson of the Third Elder of Sword Land, Fellow Daoist Chen would have some special life-saving skills. As it turns out, it's nothing special after all."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked at Chen Lang's soul, which was now firmly grasped in his hand.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, the fear on Chen Lang's face was indescribable.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">From a young age, he had never suffered a major setback, thanks to his extraordinary talent and nearly invincible background. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Whatever he wanted, he always got it. Just like how he desired Lin Ying, the Chen Clan had fully supported him in his pursuit.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He had brought ten of the clan's most elite youths with him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although Chen Lang was still part of the Chen Clan and hadn't officially joined Sword Land, his grandfather being the third elder of Sword Land meant that he was practically on par with any core disciple of Sword Land. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In some aspects, he even had more advantages than them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even when entering the Sword Qi Corridor, he had never imagined that something like this could happen to him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In his original plan, if nothing went wrong, Lin Ying would become his plaything after the events in the Sword Qi Corridor concluded.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And indeed, he did have some life-saving measures. But everything had happened too fast. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His physical body was destroyed almost instantly, leaving him no time to use any of his trump cards.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Let Young Master Lang go, and maybe there'll be some room for negotiation today."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If you don't want to offend the Chen clan, if you don't want to provoke Sword Land, releasing Young Master Lang is your only option."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, the remaining five Chen Clan disciples who had been severely injured after their battle formation was shattered by Su Jingzhen's brick were filled with terror. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, instead of begging for mercy, they decided to threaten him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In their eyes, the combined power of the Chen Clan and the Sword Land Third Elder was more than enough to intimidate anyone.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if Saintess Qing Yue were in Su Jingzhen's position, she would likely think twice or perhaps not dare to kill Chen Lang outright.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Therefore, they had never been overly concerned about Chen Lang's safety.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As for the destruction of his physical body, with Chen Lang's background, there were plenty of opportunities for him to reform it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And revenge? That would be even easier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing their threats, Su Jingzhen didn't hesitate. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He took another step forward with his brick, and in an instant, the five peak Mystic Immortal Realm experts from the Chen Clan were reduced to headless corpses lying on the ground.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I don't like too much noise."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen smirked, his expression calm and even gentle.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But for Chen Lang, that smile was more terrifying than any demon's.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When his companions had spoken up earlier, Chen Lang's fear had subsided slightly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thinking of his family's immense influence, he had even considered joining in on the threats. He had never expected Su Jingzhen to act so decisively.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now, his fear was infinitely magnified.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He could almost smell death.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, since Chen Lang had been reduced to a soul state, the Qiankun Fan he had placed in front of the Shadow Sword Immortal's tombstone shrank and fell to the ground.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although it still contained immense energy, it could no longer maintain its sealing power.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Lin Ying's expression lit up with excitement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She glanced at Su Jingzhen who was not far away, and then quietly began to move towards the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's strength had far exceeded her expectations.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Su Jingzhen were to hold her accountable now, she would be in a difficult position.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But if she could enter the Shadow Sword Immortal's tomb before that, the protective formations outside would keep Su Jingzhen at bay.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By the time she emerged, she might have fully inherited the Shadow Sword Immortal's Shadow Immortal physique.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At that point, her status in Sword Land would rise significantly, and even if Su Jingzhen had an extraordinary background, he wouldn't be able to implicate her.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, before she could act on this plan, another sword flew out from Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It landed right between the Shadow Sword Immortal's tombstone and Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Miss Lin, isn't it a bit too early for you to go in alone? The matter isn't completely resolved yet. Your two old rivals are still alive, aren't they?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You are the one who brought this trouble upon us. I, Zou, have no grudge against them. Surely you don't expect me to clean up this mess for you?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After blocking Lin Ying's path, Su Jingzhen spoke mockingly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then he sealed Chen Lang's soul and tossed it toward Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His meaning couldn't be clearer.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Let's talk about this, fellow Daoist Zou! Let's talk this out! I can give you twice as much as you want, just spare my life!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Zou is right. We've never had any enmity. Killing me won't benefit you in any way. I, Chen Lang, swear by heaven that if you spare my life, I will let bygones be bygones.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The Chen Clan and Sword Land will not take revenge on you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Feeling the killing intent emanating from Su Jingzhen, Chen Lang panicked and began pleading for his life.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Revenge was only possible if he survived.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Right now, he could almost taste death.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing Su Jingzhen's actions, Lin Ying's brow furrowed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her expression became slightly fierce.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She hated Chen Lang and wished for his death, but she didn't want to be the one to kill him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The consequences would be too severe.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Don't forget, we're only here to help you this time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Do you expect us to bear all the karma? The trouble you have brought upon yourself should be your responsibility to solve."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen looked at the hesitant Lin Ying, his lips curling into another mocking smile.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying had hoped that Su Jingzhen and Chen Lang would destroy each other, or that Su Jingzhen would take all the blame. But that wasn't going to happen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">No matter what happened, Lin Ying would be bound to their fate.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying's expression shifted uncertainly. She truly didn't want to be responsible for Chen Lang's death.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But sensing the aura from the sword that Su Jingzhen had placed between her and the tombstone, she couldn't help but feel a chill.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She was caught between a rock and a hard place.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, a fierce internal struggle raged within Lin Ying. But after a few breaths, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, instead of choosing to kill Chen Lang outright, she quietly activated the mark she had left on Su Jingzhen and the others earlier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang's side had already been wiped out. If Su Jingzhen and his group were also killed, Lin Ying could wash her hands of the entire affair.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She would be the sole victor, completely unscathed!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But at that moment, Su Jingzhen's eyes narrowed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The killing intent around him became even more intense.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Naturally, he had sensed her actions and felt a pang of disappointment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Fortunately, he had prepared himself for this earlier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under the protection of Little Green's world power, Lin Ying's plan had no effect.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen looked at Lin Ying, his lips curling into a mocking smile.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It could have all ended happily. It's too bad Miss Lin chose the wrong path."
