<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just now, Lin Ying had no choice but to make this move.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It could be considered as a gamble on her part, but unfortunately, she lost the bet.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Lin Ying's face turned pale.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I... I... Fellow Daoist Zou, it's not what you think."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She wanted to explain, but her words felt weak and powerless.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once the deed was done, she had to bear the consequences.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang's soul was sealed by Su Jingzhen, and he could see the changes happening between Su Jingzhen and Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, he didn't know exactly what had transpired, and his anxiety grew.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Zou, it seems that you've also had some unpleasant dealings with this woman Lin Ying. She's nothing but a treacherous vase.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Fellow Daoist Zu is willing to cooperate with me, the Chen Clan can offer you much more than what the Lin Clan can offer you.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Moreover, if Fellow Daoist Zu has any requests, the Chen Clan is even willing to help you wipe out the Lin Clan.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Everything the Lin Clan has will be yours, Fellow Daoist Zu."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang's eyes once again shone with anticipation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He continued to tempt Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the mocking smile still on Su Jingzhen's lips, Chen Lang felt a surge of excitement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He knew that he had gambled correctly - there was indeed a rift between Su Jingzhen and Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, before his words could fully settle, a strange and eerie sword energy pierced through his soul.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang's expression instantly froze.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He struggled to turn his gaze toward Lin Ying, only to see a look of determination on her face.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Naturally, the sword strike had come from her.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang's soul opened its mouth, but no words came out. Instead, it dissipated in a burst of energy, vanishing into the void.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just like that, he was dead!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying had no choice. She knew that if she didn't act quickly to kill Chen Lang, and if Su Jingzhen were truly swayed by Chen Lang's words to turn against her, then all her efforts would have been in vain.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The dynamic between her and Su Jingzhen had shifted the moment Su Jingzhen annihilated the Chen Clan members.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If she didn't submit to Su Jingzhen now, even if her life was spared, she would lose her chance at obtaining the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body forever.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Zou, are you satisfied now?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying looked at Su Jingzhen and spoke, her smile bitter.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Hong Yu, who was still locked in a fierce battle with Qiu Yaoyao and was clearly at a disadvantage, was utterly shocked to see that Lin Ying had actually dared to kill Chen Lang.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"How... how could you dare?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hong Yu muttered to herself, but then her expression shifted to one of delight.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You killed Chen Lang, hahaha, Chen Lang is dead. You're finished.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Not only will you lose your position as one of the Ten Holy Maidens, but your life may also be in danger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time my goal has been achieved.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Junior Sister Lin, cherish the time you have left in this world."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After letting out a maniacal laugh, Hong Yu didn't hesitate. She pulled out a black jade token and crushed it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the next moment, the space around her distorted and a powerful force enveloped her, pulling her away.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was the life-saving trump card that all the core disciples of Sword Land possessed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang had one too, but he hadn't had a chance to use it before things escalated to this point.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow and then reached out, summoning Chen Lang's storage ring and other belongings into his hand.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When his divine consciousness probed inside, Su Jingzhen couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the only grandson of the Third Elder, Chen Lang was incredibly wealthy.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There were too many valuable items inside.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After rummaging through the contents, Su Jingzhen also pulled out a jade token similar to the one Hong Yu had used.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It actually emitted a strong spatial fluctuation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As Su Jingzhen toyed with the token, Qiu Yaoyao returned to his side with a frown.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If she didn't have that life-saving token, I could have killed her in just a few more moves."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There was a hint of frustration in Qiu Yaoyao's voice.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then, she glanced around at the current situation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She was truly impressed by Su Jingzhen's performance.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, a line of golden text once again appeared before Su Jingzhen's eyes.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Both Qiu Yaoyao and Shengana had once again provided Su Jingzhen with a five hit combo.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, considering what Su Jingzhen had done, the five-hit combo wasn't that impressive.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's gaze returned to Lin Ying.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It seems Miss Lin is far too fixated on obtaining the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">You could have used that lifesaving token to escape the Sword Qi Corridor just now, couldn't you?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's tone remained mocking.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, Lin Ying replied with a bitter smile, "What other choice do I have?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if I use the token to escape, you are all still my accomplices. Chen Lang's death would still be a huge karmic burden for me.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At that time, not only would I lose my chance at the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body, but I would also lose my position as a holy maiden.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In addition, the Chen Clan would take revenge on me. I must admit, with the Third Elder backing them up, the Chen Clan is far stronger than the Lin Clan.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Lin Clan would inevitably be crushed under their pressure.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But if I can obtain the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body, my position in the Sword Land will remain secure, and the Chen Clan wouldn't dare to act too recklessly."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She laid all her cards on the table, fully submitting to the situation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By personally killing Chen Lang, the karmic burden was indeed greater, but whether she killed him or Su Jingzhen did it, the difference wasn't significant for Lin Ying anymore.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen nodded and smiled again, "Originally, if Miss Lin had followed my initial suggestion and not played these unpleasant little games, things could have turned out as you hoped.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But now, do you really think that's still possible?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's tone remained calm, but Lin Ying's face grew pale.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even her Mid Mystic Immortal Realm cultivation, which was nearing the late stage, seemed unstable. Her figure wavered, and her eyes were filled with despair.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Given the strength Su Jingzhen had displayed, Lin Ying knew that she was no match for him in a direct fight.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Su Jingzhen forced her out of the Sword Qi Corridor, it would mean the end for her and the Lin clan.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Everyone has to pay the price for their actions, but in Lin Ying's eyes, the price this time was far too high.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Fellow Daoist Zou, what do I have to do to earn your forgiveness, or rather, how can I convince you to spare me?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After taking a deep breath, Lin Ying looked at Su Jingzhen and asked.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She knew that since Su Jingzhen hadn't acted yet, he must have some demands.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying had already made up her mind - whatever Su Jingzhen wanted, she would give it to him!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As long as he didn't strip her of her hope of obtaining the Shadow Immortal Spirit Body.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to kill you outright because of your scheming nature.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, since you possess the lifesaving token, I can't kill you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's words were blunt.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, upon hearing this, Lin Ying's expression actually brightened slightly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This statement confirmed her guess - Su Jingzhen indeed had demands and wasn't willing to kill her.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen continued, "So let's try a different approach. Open your sea of consciousness."
