Lu Chen's initial reaction was to turn around and leave. He was prepared to quietly avoid her. After all, Kunlun Mountain was so big and Yi Xin did not seem to have seen him. If he missed this chance, he might not see her again in the future. But the scream that followed was indeed a little frightening. It was as if Yi Xin had suddenly seen the most terrifying thing in the world. Her scream was heart-wrenching.
Lu Chen stopped in his tracks, feeling a little helpless. At that moment, his mind replayed the journey with Yi Xin in the Land of Chaos from beginning to end. He muttered, "It can't be. I don't remember doing anything to you. Are you so afraid to see me … "
But when he turned his head to look in the direction of Yi Xin, he suddenly frowned. He saw that when Yi Xin walked out of the forest, a figure suddenly ran out from behind her and grabbed her hand.
When the figure that appeared from behind appeared in everyone's line of sight, it immediately caused a commotion among the crowd of odd-job disciples who had slowly gathered to watch the show. Even the usually calm Lu Chen's expression changed slightly. At the same time, he instantly understood why Yi Xin would let out such a "tragic" scream.
It was a man wearing the Kunlun Party disciple uniform. But his face was completely destroyed. At least a dozen shocking scars remained on his face. His facial features were terrible. One of his ears was missing, his nose was gone, and there was a big cut on his chin. A terrible scar had slashed across his left eye, leaving a pitted red flesh. It seemed that this eyeball had also been destroyed.
This face looked like it had been slashed countless times by a sharp blade, or had been ruthlessly gnawed on by a terrifying beast. It was completely devoid of human form. It was hard to imagine that a person who had suffered such serious injuries could actually survive that disaster.
At this moment, it was a bright and sunny day. Under the bright sky, the surrounding people all felt a trace of coldness, and a few timid female disciples even closed their eyes and looked away, not daring to look directly at that person.
The terrifying face that resembled a demon from hell suddenly appeared behind Yi Xin. After grabbing her, the face leaned in and let out a deep, furious growl. When she lifted her eyes, the face was already inches away from her. No wonder she let out such a shrill scream.
"Let me go! Let me go! "
However, to Lu Chen's surprise, Yi Xin did not faint from fright. Instead, she screamed in horror and struggled with all her might, trying to break free from the monstrous man's grasp. At the same time, she cried out repeatedly.
"Shut up!" The man with the terrifying face let out a low roar, but that did not calm Yi Xin down. Instead, she struggled even more intensely.
This scene was seen by the surrounding people, and there was a sudden uproar. A beautiful girl was being bullied by such a monster. No one could stand it. Suddenly, seven or eight people from the side came over and shouted to stop it.
Lu Chen also took two steps forward. No matter what, he had some friendship with Yi Xin. At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart. After joining the Kunlun Party for a month, he had gradually learned a little about this famous sect. Although it was not as perfect as the legends said, the Kunlun Party was still a place that followed rules. In general, it was impossible for there to be any public bullying on the Kunlun mountain.
However, the scene in front of him was obviously not right. Just when Lu Chen was hesitating whether he should go forward to help, he suddenly heard Yi Xin's voice crying, "Let go, Senior He! I beg you, don't do this … "
Lu Chen's body trembled. He immediately focused his attention and looked towards that man. As expected, when he looked carefully, he could vaguely make out a little of that handsome Kunlun disciple's appearance that he had met in Crescent City that day from that little bit of residual outline.
He Gang … Didn't he already die on the Black Armor Mountain in the Land of Chaos?
On that day, the scene of a large group of terrible black jackals swarming on the Black Armor Mountain was still fresh in Lu Chen's memory. Then, when he looked at He Gang's face again, those clear and terrifying scars that seemed to have been left behind by sharp claws and terrifying beast teeth, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart.
Yi Xin was crying and shouting in panic. The odd-job disciples next to her obviously did not know He Gang, so they surrounded him with righteous indignation.
But He Gang also seemed to be very emotional and strange. Under the crowd's gaze, he did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and even glared at the people around him with terrible anger.
Seeing that the scene suddenly became tense and on the verge of breaking out, suddenly, a loud shout came from behind the crowd.
"Stop, what do you want!"
This shout was full of momentum, and the tone was loud, instantly suppressing all the other voices. After a moment, a tall man walked quickly to the center. He first glanced at He Gang and Yi Xin, and his face slightly darkened, but he did not lose his temper. Then he turned to look at the crowd around him, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Back off! What are you doing here, do you want to rebel? "
Lu Chen stood in the crowd and glanced at this person. Seeing that he had thick eyebrows and a square face, he was a disciple of the Kunlun Party's Baicao Tang, who was sent to manage the spiritual field. His name was Zhou Kui.
After all, almost all the odd-job disciples were newcomers who knew nothing about cultivation, and planting spiritual fields still needed some tricks, so Baicao Tang would often send some disciples down. About every hundred odd-job disciples would have an official disciple in charge, and at the same time, they would teach the tricks of planting and some of the most basic cultivation methods.
Zhou Kui was such a person. Those who could get such a job were basically in the Foundation Realm, so in the Kunlun Party, he could also be regarded as an elite disciple who had reached a higher level.
Usually, the odd-job disciples naturally respected Zhou Kui very much. Although they only called him senior brother, in reality, his position was like a teacher and a father, and they did not dare to disobey him easily. But today's scene was really infuriating, and a bold person in the crowd shouted loudly, "Senior brother Zhou, it's not that we want to cause trouble, but that person is bullying our junior sister in broad daylight!"
Zhou Kui's face was as dark as water, he slowly turned around and glanced at He Gang's hand that was still tightly gripping Yi Xin's wrist. He snorted and said, "Junior brother He, you're not doing this right?"
Facing this Baicao Tang disciple Zhou Kui, whose cultivation was in the Foundation Realm, He Gang's imposing manner was obviously weaker, but he still raised his head and shouted through gritted teeth, "I didn't do anything, I just wanted to chat with junior sister Yi, what did I do wrong?"
Zhou Kui's gaze fell on Yi Xin's pretty but tear-stained face, a trace of sympathy seemed to flash across his eyes, but he still sighed and said, "Junior sister Yi, is it like this?"
Yi Xin struggled with all her might, perhaps because Zhou Kui was right beside her, He Gang finally did not dare to use force anymore, letting her withdraw her arm, but there was already an obvious red mark on her wrist. Then, Yi Xin glanced at Zhou Kui, a complicated expression flashed across her face, like fear, regret, and also like she was at a loss. In the end, she slowly lowered her head and softly replied, "Yes."
The odd-job disciples in the crowd immediately burst into an uproar, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces, and Lu Chen in the crowd frowned, looking deeply at Yi Xin.
