Chapter 242: Chapter 123: Flowing Water in the Pitcher, Zhongzhou Lin Family!_4
They descended and attacked on the ground. Their targets, without exception, were the demonic creatures currently ruthlessly slaughtering on the ground!
Next instant, a one-sided massacre began.
"Roar~!"
"Ao~!"
Under the attack of these flying swords, not a single demonic creature could resist.
One by one, they were instantly killed on contact.
True instantaneous killing.
The kind where their bodies were abruptly severed into several sections upon contact.
Roar~!
Awooo~!
Under this all-encompassing killing intent, the surviving demonic creatures instantly became terrified.
Particularly after witnessing the tragic fate of their peers, they all recoiled.
They howled in despair, glanced fearfully at the sky, then turned and ran into the forest without a second look back.
The speed at which the horde of demons fled was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they completely disappeared from sight on the ground.
At this moment, all that was left on the ground was an expanse of bloodiness.
"This?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Xinxue was horrified; the Lin Family’s guards and the old housekeeper were all similarly stunned.
Turning one’s energy into a sword, and using the sword to vanquish a horde of demons... this... this strength, isn’t it a bit too great?
Who is this person?
The group had no idea that the person who had taken action was Chen Chang’an who, after seeing the situation here, decided to come over.
At this moment, the three of them had just reached the ground.
"I am Lin Qingxue. I am grateful for your heroic help."
The instant Chen Chang’an’s group appeared, Lin Qingxue was the first to react. She quickly walked over, and respectfully saluted them.
"Miss Lin, you need not be so polite. We cultivators cultivate precisely to drive away demons and protect the Righteous Path."
"Now that we’ve encountered you being harassed by demonic creatures, taking action is only natural. You don’t need to feel so constrained."
Before Chen Chang’an spoke, Mao Ruxue stepped forward to respond.
However, although she said this, after speaking, she still looked at her senior brother, Chen Chang’an, and not until he had slightly nodded in agreement, did she then reaffirm the previous words.
At this time, Chen Chang’an also spoke, looking at Lin Qingxue and saying:
"Miss Lin, you really don’t need to be so formal. As my junior sister said, driving off demons and protecting the Dao are indeed the duties of us cultivators."
"It’s just something minor, and you don’t need to take it to heart."
However, Lin Qingxue just shook her head at Chen Chang’an, stating:
"No, dear Sir, your life-saving grace is not something I would dare to forget. I am truly grateful for your help."
Even after hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Lin Qingxue still continued to show her respect.
In this world, nobody would help you without expecting some return.
Chen Chang’an just happened to pass by and see their plight and he helped — such an immense favor. If she did not remember such kindness, then how would she differ from those demonic creatures?
All right then.
Seeing Lin Qingxue so insistent, Chen Chang’an didn’t say anything more.
Fulfilling an act of kindness to the end, Chen Chang’an then led Mao Ruxue to help the Lin Family’s caravan tidy up the aftermath.
After about half an hour of busyness, the caravan was finally reorganized.
The deceased were buried on the spot, and the wounded who had survived were treated and cared for.
"Miss Lin, I see your group is heading to the Holy City?" After getting everything done, Chen Chang’an glanced at the bustling caravan and asked Lin Qingxue who was by his side.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, Sir, we are here to transport a batch of goods back to the Holy City, and we are just about to set off."
"To be honest, Sir, my Lin Family has been entrusted by the bigwigs of the Jixia Academy to help them customize and purchase goods for transport back to the Holy City."
"We have to complete the delivery by today."
"Before coming here, we had checked that there were no demonic creatures, but we have no idea why we suffered this sudden calamity."
"If it weren’t for your help, Sir, we might all be beheaded by now."
As she said this, a touch of lingering fear appeared in Lin Qingxue’s eyes.
She really was close to death this time.
If it weren’t for Chen Chang’an’s timely intervention, she might have really been killed by now.
"So that’s how it is."
Hearing her words, Chen Chang’an immediately nodded.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the goods that Lin Qingxue and her group were delivering were likely the supplies for the Qu Shang Meeting at Jixia Academy.
This didn’t even need to be guessed; he could confirm it just by looking at some of the goods revealed in the carriages behind.
