<h4>Chapter 141: Chen Yi’s Death</h4>
Trantor: Cinder Trantions

"Enough!"
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly roared, interrupting Lu Chan''s brutal torture.
Lu Chan turned to Zhang Xiaofan, her eyes filled with mockery.
"What''s wrong? Feeling reluctant? Are you heartbroken?"
"Perhaps I should heal her for you."
Zhang Xiaofan, seemingly under pressure, had his rage dissipate instantly, his resolve weakening.
"I''ve said it many times. My past with her is long over. Why do you keep dwelling on it?"
Lu Chan snorted, "Hmph! Long over, you say? It''s easy to say that. Who knows if you two might rekindle old feelings someday?"
"You..."
Facing Lu Chan''s unreasonable attitude, Zhang Xiaofan''s suppressed anger red up again but was quickly controlled.
He struggled to keep his emotions in check, not wanting to make a regrettable move. Lu Chan was someone he had put a lot of effort into winning over and couldn''t afford to lose easily. He spoke softly.
"Chan''er, there are righteous sect cultivators everywhere around here. It''s not safe for us to stay. Although we have treasures to conceal our presence, Chen Yi has none. If she attracts righteous cultivators, we''ll be in trouble."
Lu Chan disdainfully stared at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "Don''t think that mentioning righteous cultivators will change my mind."
She pointed at Chen Yi on the ground and continued, "So, how do you want to deal with her?"
Zhang Xiaofan looked at Chen Yi''s mutted body and, for a moment, a trace of guilt and reluctance shed across his face.
But it was quickly reced by a stern resolve.
He raised his left hand, and a fierce stream of energy sliced through Chen Yi''s chest.
"Pfft!"
The energy sliced into Chen Yi''s chest.
Her left chest was instantly cut open, exposing her internal organs, with her heart severed in two.
Finally freed from her suffering, Chen Yi''s life gradually faded away.
Seeing Zhang Xiaofan suddenly kill Chen Yi, Lu Chan was very displeased. She roared, "You killed her so easily, and you still say you have no lingering feelings for her!"
Before she could finish, she turned around to see Zhang Xiaofan walking away towards the cave entrance without looking back.
Lu Chan watched Zhang Xiaofan''s receding figure and then nced at Chen Yi''s corpse.
She was unwilling to let Chen Yi die so cheaply. She wanted to extract Chen Yi''s soul and subject it to unimaginable torment.
She turned to the two Qi Refining stage cultivators, who were her senior and junior brothers.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I haven''t practiced soul extraction techniques. Please help me extract her soul."
"I want to refine her soul into a soulmp. I want her to never find peace even in death."
As she spoke, Lu Chan''s voice was filled with endless resentment and hatred.
It was unclear whether she was dissatisfied with how easily Chen Yi died or with Zhang Xiaofan''s abrupt departure.
The two Qi Refining cultivators were Lu Cang''s eldest and second disciples.
They had watched Lu Chan grow up and were very supportive of her, almost always fulfilling her requests.
The eldest brother nced at Chen Yi''s body and then turned to Lu Chan, saying, "Forget it, Junior Sister. Zhang Junior Brother is right. This ce is upied by righteous sect cultivators. Using demonic techniques here might attract their attention."
Lu Chan was about to say something more when the second senior brother suddenly pointed at Zhang Xiaofan, who was now at the cave entrance, and said, "It''s not worth affecting your rtionship with Zhang Junior Brother over a dead person."
Lu Chan red at Chen Yi''s corpse with anger, as if she still had much resentment to vent.
She flicked her hand, sending several streams of spiritual energy to destroy Chen Yi''s body, reducing it to a nearly unrecognizable mess. Only then did she turn and leave the cave.
What she didn''t notice was Zhang Xiaofan''s face, full of anger and brutality, as he stood at the cave entrance with his back to her.
Zhang Xiaofan''s facial muscles twitched uncontrobly, his heart burning with rage that he couldn''t express and dared not unleash.

On the flying ship, Song Wen, who had witnessed everything through the ck-armored insect, felt a pang of sympathy for Chen Yi''s tragic fate.
Losing her life due to her entanglement with Zhang Xiaofan seemed truly unjust. Moreover, the rtionship had initially been forced upon her by Zhang Xiaofan.
In his previous life, Song Wen had endured considerable suffering due to matters of the heart, and after his transmigration, he had no intention of seeking a partner.
To him, finding a partner was akin to inviting someone to dictate his life, which seemed like self-inflicted trouble.
In the world of immortal cultivation, finding a partner was even more dangerous. Wan Rou had been so, and now Chen Yi was simrly afflicted, both having been harmed by their respective partners.
Recalling their past acquaintance, Song Wen had considered intervening to rescue Chen Yi but quickly abandoned the thought.
He knew that rescuing Chen Yi was unrealistic.
First, given his current situation, it would be difficult to find a usible excuse to leave the ship.
Attempting to leave forcibly would likely arouse the suspicion of the Profound Heaven Sword Sect cultivators.
Although he was confident he could defeat everyone on the ship without any escaping, the asional appearance of righteous experts made him hesitant to act.
If he attracted a Golden Core expert, escaping would be nearly impossible.
Second, he wasn''t certain he could handle Zhang Xiaofan and his threepanions, making it challenging to rescue Chen Yi alive.
Song Wen could only watch as the ship flew farther away, witnessing Chen Yi die in endless torment.
However, Chen Yi''s rtively swift death could be seen as a form of relief.

After flying a few hundred miles, there was suddenly a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy and sounds ofbat ahead.
"Everyone, be on high alert. There is something unusual ahead."
Elder Wu, the first to notice the battle, shouted loudly.
The ship gradually approached and stopped two miles from the battle.
Elder Wu saw that more than ten demonic cultivators were attacking several righteous sect cultivators, both sides being Qi Refining stage practitioners.
"All disciples, follow me off the ship. We must eradicate these remnants of the demonic path and ensure none escape."
"Understood!"
Immediately, the more than twenty people on the ship flew into the air and rushed towards the battlefield below.
The righteous sect cultivators below noticed the arrival of reinforcements. Their previously despondent spirits were immediately uplifted, and their attacks became fierce.
The demonic cultivators, on the other hand, fell into chaos and began fleeing in all directions like scattered sand.
