Eternal Saber

Chapter 594 - 15: Elopement

In twenty days, breaking through four meridians can indeed be considered a great fortune.

However, Chen Tang still couldn’t quite understand the intentions of the Demon Venerable.

"Where is the Demon Venerable?"

Chen Tang asked.

Luo Sha replied, "I don’t know, I haven’t seen the lord Demon Venerable for many days. The lord’s whereabouts are unpredictable, and it’s not unusual for him not to show up for months or years."

Chen Tang asked again, "What is your status in the Demon Sect?"

"We are of low birth, what status could we have?"

Luo Sha said, "Someone like me, who has been here a bit longer, has the chance to serve by the Demon Venerable’s side, which is considered quite lucky."

"How long have you been in the Demon Sect?"

"I was offered by my family when I was five, it’s been almost twenty years now."

"Offered?"

"Yes, the Demon Sect holds the highest status in Xiling, and every few years, the countries of Xiling offer some young girls to the Demon Sect. Only if they catch the sect’s eye do they get to stay."

"How many countries are there in Xiling?"

"Not sure exactly, about thirty or forty."

"Where is your hometown?"

"Da Wan Country."

The name sounded somewhat familiar.

In a previous life, I’d heard that it produces Ferghana Horses.

Luo Sha’s little hand gently wiped Chen Tang’s body, slowly moving from the back to the chest, very proper, quite comfortable.

But for some reason, Chen Tang felt Luo Sha’s gentle fingers brushing over him, triggering an inexplicable evil fire that was hard to suppress!

"Mostly it’s the Demon Blood acting up, birthing a Heart Demon."

Chen Tang thought to himself.

He steadied his mind, saying, "The war horses from your hometown are quite famous, aren’t they?"

"Yes, yes, how does Your Highness know?"

Seeing that Chen Tang knew about Da Wan Country, Luo Sha’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Our Da Wan Horses are the best, whether it’s long-distance marches or rapid assaults with heavy loads, they’re much superior to other breeds!"

"Moreover, our Da Wan Country is also rich in grapes, which are made into delicious wine that can be stored for decades. Every year, Da Wan Country offers some wine to the Demon Venerable, who drinks it from a Nightlight Cup, the wine looks so beautiful and crystal clear."

Saying this, Luo Sha couldn’t help but lick her lips.

Feeling Luo Sha’s little hand finish wiping his abdomen and start moving downward.

Chen Tang shivered all over, quickly grabbing Luo Sha’s wrist, calming his nerves, and said in a deep voice, "I can finish the rest myself."

In his current unstable state, if Luo Sha continued downward, he would have trouble holding back.

In this regard, he had no strict taboos.

But he wouldn’t casually have a fiery encounter with a woman he barely spoke to.

Luo Sha giggled, saying, "As Your Highness wishes."

Chen Tang breathed a sigh of relief, releasing his grip.

A sly look flashed in Luo Sha’s eyes, and she lightly traced her fingers over Chen Tang’s lower abdomen before pulling back.

Sss.

Chen Tang took a sharp breath and reacted instantly.

The women of Xiling are truly bold in their behavior and conduct, without any restraint.

He quickly picked up the towel and pressed it into the water, then continued asking, "How long has it been since you returned home?"

At the mention of this, Luo Sha put away her smile, a hint of loss flashing in her eyes, and said, "Almost twenty years."

"Since joining the Demon Sect, you’ve never gone back?" Chen Tang asked, somewhat surprised.

Luo Sha said softly, "As maids and servants, we don’t have the opportunity to leave. If we’re caught, it’s a death sentence, and the Demon Venerable’s wrath would implicate our families."

Chen Tang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Has the Demon Venerable killed many people?"

A flicker of fear crossed Luo Sha’s eyes, and she said with difficulty, "Your Highness, it’s not for me to speak of the Demon Venerable."

"Then let’s talk about his disciples."

Chen Tang said, "I heard earlier that the Demon Venerable intends to take me as a Closed-door Disciple, how many disciples does the Demon Venerable have?"

"Including Your Highness, there are four others."

Luo Sha said, "The eldest is the Celestial Demon, the second is the Yin Demon, the third is the Death Demon, and the fourth is the Charm Demon."

"No need to wipe anymore, help me press my shoulders and neck, please."

Chen Tang said: "The Demon Venerable is hard to discuss, tell me about these four."

Luo Sha, having been at the Demon Sect for nearly twenty years, surely knows quite a bit.

Luo Sha said, "I haven’t seen the eldest, I’ve heard he’s always out fighting, and it’s said that the second originally came from the Divine Land, so Your Highness must get along with him."

"The third hardly speaks, always wearing a stern face. The fourth, I’ve only seen twice from afar, quite beautiful."

Chen Tang asked, "Is the fourth a woman?"

"Yes."

Luo Sha nodded.

Chen Tang asked with a smile, "More beautiful than you?"

Luo Sha was happy to hear this, bursting into laughter, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness, but I’m far less beautiful than the fourth! She’s said to be the most beautiful person in the world, her every move captivating countless people, even women can’t resist her charm."

"Is she that impressive?"

Chen Tang clicked his tongue.

If she only enthralled men to the point of distraction, there are indeed some women like that in the world. But if even women are captivated, then she is truly something special.

"What are these four’s cultivation levels?"

Chen Tang asked again.

Since the Demon Venerable isn’t around, whether he can leave this place depends on these four.

"I don’t know."

Luo Sha shook her head, saying, "I’m not knowledgeable about martial arts."

Chen Tang had observed her before.

Luo Sha lacked Inner Qi but had some martial arts foundation, although she hadn’t reached the Entry Level yet.

Chen Tang had mostly gathered the necessary information about the Demon Sect.

This is a perilous place.

With the Demon Venerable absent, he needed to find a way to leave.

The titles of Demon Monarch and Highness were mere façades that couldn’t fool him.

The Demon Venerable’s actions were unpredictable, the further away, the better.

From what Luo Sha says, the eldest, the Celestial Demon isn’t here, and the fourth, the Charm Demon, seldom shows up.

The only ones possibly present in the Demon Sect are the Yin Demon and the Death Demon.

If he could avoid these two, he could escape!

Chen Tang listened intently for a while, there was no movement outside the secret chamber, it was empty.

Chen Tang jumped out of the wooden barrel, wiped down a bit, then dressed and looked at Luo Sha by his side, asking, "Do you remember the way to Da Wan Country?"

"I kind of remember."

Luo Sha didn’t comprehend Chen Tang’s purpose, instinctively responding.

"Then that’s good."

Chen Tang blinked, asking, "Do you want to go back and see your hometown?"

"I can’t leave."

Luo Sha quickly shook her head.

Chen Tang said, "It’s okay, let’s run away together. I’ll take you to Da Wan Country. If you get caught, just say you were kidnapped by me and had no choice."

Luo Sha, though not of Entry Level, is from Xiling and knows more about this place than he does.

Taking her along should be helpful.

Once they reach Da Wan Country, they could get a Ferghana Horse and head east, escaping Xiling.

"Elopement?"

The term was novel to Luo Sha; she had never heard it, yet could guess its meaning, causing her heart to flutter.

"Is this... feasible?"

Though a bit hesitant, Luo Sha subconsciously clenched her fists, her eyes shining with anticipation and excitement.

"Don’t worry, it’ll be fine!"

Chen Tang said, "Follow me out of here, don’t show any flaws, guide me around this place to familiarize me with the terrain, and then I’ll decide how to leave."

"Okay!"

Luo Sha hesitated for a moment but then nodded vigorously.

Chen Tang, with Luo Sha in tow, headed towards the secret chamber’s entrance.

As they opened the door, Chen Tang froze instantly.

At the door stood a man in a black outfit, around fifty, with a stern face, coldly staring at them.

Luo Sha was so frightened she trembled, quickly bowing her head, and said in a low voice, "Greetings, Third Prince."
