White lotus petals floated down, ethereal and holy, as if a deity had descended. Ze Luoju tightened his grip on the knife, his remaining eye solemnly saying, "The Saintess of the Luo Denomination?"
The Luo Denomination was one of the Nine Evil Paths and had been secretly passed down for many years. It was not something the Crying Elder could compare with. Not to mention that the Luo Denomination still had a Dharmakaya. Even the Ashura Temple, the strongest sect in the Western Region, had to respect them. How could Ze Luoju take them lightly?
Although he had never met Gu Xiaosang, he had heard all kinds of rumors. From the scene of her descent, her peerless appearance, and her ethereal temperament, he could roughly guess who she was.
"She's also an Exterior master?
She's an Exterior master without anyone knowing! "
Gu Xiaosang stood beside Meng Qi, her dress fluttering in the wind. She looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world. She said with a faint smile, "So it's the Evil Blade of the Crying Elder. How dare you attack my husband."
"Husband?" Ze Luoju looked at Gu Xiaosang and Mengqi in surprise.
"It's over, my reputation is ruined …" This was the only thought that flashed in Mengqi's mind.
But it was still okay. Ze Luoju was a Heterodox Evil Spirit and had a grudge against him. Even if he spread the news, others would only think that he was deliberately framing him. If he didn't expose himself to spread the news, it would naturally dissipate after a while.
At the same time, he seized the opportunity to secretly take a Recover Pill.
Gu Xiaosang smiled and said in a clear and melodious voice, "I'm going to take him back to be my husband."
After a pause, she said with a slightly mocking smile, "You've been famous for many years, but you still haven't crossed the first Celestial Ladder. Hey, people say that the Crying Elder is cruel to his disciples. But now I see that he's just like that. If it were me, I would've killed a piece of trash like you and fed you to the dogs to avoid making a fool of myself."
Her words without profanity hit Ze Luoju's sore spot. Blue veins popped on his forehead and his one eye was full of hatred. He slightly lost his calm and had the urge to draw his knife.
Gu Xiaosang blinked. "If it weren't for my husband taking revenge in the future, I would've left you here today. If not now, when?"
Her casual words were a blatant threat, as if she didn't take Ze Luoju's "Vast Sea Evil Blade" seriously at all.
Ze Luo Jufei was an inexperienced young man. He had already restrained his resentment and anger. After a moment of consideration, his expression became calm again. Without a word, he turned around and left.
Even though Gu Xiaosang had just made her breakthrough, she was a practitioner of Peerless Godly Kung Fu. He had yet to cross the First Celestial Ladder, so it would be difficult for him to defeat her in a hurry. If he continued to fight, the people from Eastsea Sword Village would return. If that happened, he might not be able to leave today!
Moreover, with the appearance of the Luo Denomination Saintess, there might be other Cultivators and Oracles nearby. It was not a wise choice to confront them head-on.
Watching Ze Luoju leave, Mengqi, whose Sacrifice Formula had already lost its effect, felt weak. As if he was seriously ill, he could not support his body and fell backward.
Unbeknownst to him, Gu Xiaosang was standing behind Mengqi. Her hands passed under his ribs and clasped in front of his chest. A unique fragrance enveloped Mengqi.
"Demoness, what are you doing?" Mengqi struggled to shout.
Since he felt that he was still useful to the demoness, he decided not to sacrifice himself for the time being.
Gu Xiaosang chuckled and said, "I'm taking you home, of course."
She tiptoed and half carried and half dragged Mengqi into the void. Their surroundings gradually darkened.
"Husband, I know you look easy-going, but you're actually proud and arrogant. You're sure to be willing to kill your enemies with your own hands. That's why you didn't stop Wolf King and let go of the Evil Blade to give you a chance to sharpen your skills." Gu Xiaosang showed off as if she was seeking praise. "When you open Nine Acupores, you can go all the way north. Just like Wolf King, you can sharpen your skills along the way. Finally, in his grassland hometown, you can kill him under the many dangers. Only then can you be considered a real man's revenge."
Mengqi had never expected Gu Xiaosang to help him kill his enemies. He had thought about it before. When he recovered and cultivated for half a year, he would quietly go north, sneak into the grassland, overcome all the difficulties, and kill Wolf King!
Such a journey of pursuing revenge alone would be the polishing of his soul and Kung Fu. It would be immeasurably helpful to his Oneness of Heaven and Men and his search for his own path.
Things don't happen more than three times. The next time will be the end of your life!
As for Ze Luoju, he would definitely have to wait until he reached the Exterior level. However, he had also taught him a lesson: Jianghu is dangerous. It's best not to let your whereabouts be known by others one or two months in advance. You can't ignore any enemies, no matter how far away they are.
"Why do I feel that you're encouraging me to go to the grassland?" Although Mengqi had similar thoughts in his mind, he would never admit it in front of the demoness.
Gu Xiaosang said proudly, "I can still somewhat understand my husband's thoughts!"
She gossiped as if she were a harmless and pretty girl.
…
Not long after the two of them left, He Jiu, who had changed into green robes, appeared in midair.
Looking at the few courtyards that were dead silent, the patio filled with lightning, and the broken bricks, He Jiu raised his eyebrows. "Killing Blade is stronger than I thought."
As soon as they arrived at Misty Rain Mountain, the members of "The Myths" had retreated in advance, leaving no chance for any of them. Of course, thanks to this, Crown Prince Zhao Qian had also survived. Currently, under the protection of eunuch Wei Gao, Slivery-badge Arrester Qian Kai, and the divine monk Hua Yan, he was living in the Six Fan School of Ying City.
They had originally planned to split up to chase after the members of "The Myths", but when they saw the Thunder Punishment descending from the sky towards Happycloud Heights, they had no choice but to come back to check.
"What on earth are they trying to do?" Not expecting Mengqi to be one of the targets of "The Myths", Gyanghao was rather puzzled. He could not figure out their true intentions.
He Jiu shook his head, indicating that he could not figure it out either. "Uncle Gyanghao, let's look around. Su Meng was attacked in the village. As the master, we can't just ignore it."
"Alright." Gyanghao had no objections.
As He Jiu secretly searched for clues, he sighed with emotion. "'The Myths' has always been operating in secret, and only a few people know about it. Now that they've suddenly launched a large-scale operation and revealed it to the world, it's really incredible. Could it be that chaos is really coming?"
When it came to chaos, he did not feel the slightest bit of fear or dread. Instead, he was confident and bold, as if it was a paradise for him to hone himself!
Not long after the two of them left Happycloud Heights, Jiang Zhiwei turned back halfway. Her expression was still firm, but her worry was evident in her words.
She and Hong Qian had not even crossed Tianxiu River when they noticed what had happened in Misty Rain Mountain, so they went back to investigate. When they discovered the strange phenomenon of the Five Thunder Bombardment of Sky in Happycloud Heights, they understood that Mengqi had been attacked. Feeling nervous, they hurried over to help. With Hong Qian's help, it did not take much effort.
After carefully observing the place where the fight had taken place, she felt slightly relieved. There was no sign of Mengqi's death. He seemed to have left calmly …
"Uncle Hong, let's go after him," Jiang Zhiwei said in a low voice. It was not a request, but a decision. Even if Hong Qian did not chase after him, she would.
Hong Qian nodded gently and did not say anything.
…
In the county government of Ying City of Six Fan School, eunuch Wei Gao watched nervously as Qian Kai and Hua Yan treated the Crown Prince.
Hua Yan had a secret method. He transferred his genuine Qi into Zhao Qian's body and turned it into Blood Essence to heal his weakness, while Qian Kai dispelled the Devil Qi.
Wisps of black Qi evaporated, and after a while, it finally disappeared.
Zhao Qian's face was pale, but he was not afraid or furious. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, my two subjects."
His smile was peaceful, as if he was facing his doom calmly. This made Hua Yan nod slightly. The Crown Prince's temperament was indeed extraordinary.
…
In a secret place, the members of The Myths, who wore the masks of Star of Northern Dipper, Mountain God, Queen Mother of the West, and Demon of Self, gathered together again.
"The mission is basically completed, except for the True Emperor Seal." Star of Northern Dipper looked around.
Mountain God's voice was deep and rough. "If it wasn't for the demoness' interference, we would have gotten the True Emperor Seal long ago!"
"Sikong Tu did not appear again. It seems that the True Emperor Seal has fallen into the demoness' hands," Queen Mother of the West said emotionlessly.
Demon of Self looked around and said darkly, "Why didn't Wolf King come?"
He was hungry and thirsty. All he wanted was to devour flesh and blood.
Queen Mother of the West glanced at him and said calmly, "Wolf King is a lone wolf. Whether he succeeds or not, he will choose to escape."
…
Lying in a warm and fragrant bed, looking at the curtain embroidered with a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, Mengqi felt delicate fingers gently rubbing his temples, relieving the throbbing pain caused by the depletion of his spirit and the backlash of the Sacrifice Formula.
"Husband, do you feel better now?" Gu Xiaosang sat cross-legged and let Mengqi lean against her. She massaged his temples as if she was serving a master.
The carriage traveled on the official road, but there was only a slight tremor in the carriage.
Mengqi gritted his teeth. "As an Exterior master, you should have dozens of Dharma Access to help me recover my spirit and relieve my headache. What's so special about massaging my temples?"
Gu Xiaosang laughed softly. "Aren't all virtuous wives like this?"
"You sure had fun …" Meng Qi was speechless. He changed the topic and said, "You've already made use of the spoils from the ruins of the Ninth Heaven to reach the Exterior. How did you let Sikong Tu escape?"
Gu Xiaosang massaged Meng Qi's temples as she said with a smile, "That's because I had no intention of capturing him. If it weren't for me and the Cultivator restraining the members of 'The Myths', how could he have escaped from the Valley of Unkempt Tombs? As for the True Emperor Seal, it belongs to the fated one. "
"Fated one … what are you trying to do?" Mengqi did not believe that Gu Xiaosang would be so kind.
Gu Xiaosang massaged his temples gently and smiled charmingly. "Nothing much. I just wanted to see if I could use the True Emperor Seal to catch a big fish."
"Big fish?" Mengqi was puzzled.
Gu Xiaosang pretended to be chatting casually. "During the last years of the Kang Dynasty, Emperor Ai cooperated with the Luo Denomination, so we know many secrets. For example, several promising disciples of the Han family were sent to places like the Destruction Sect and the Plain Girl Sect before the city was breached. Because of this, we suspect that the Evil Master of the Destruction Sect, Han Guang, is a remnant of the Kang Dynasty."
"Evil Master Han Guang?" "The Heterodox Emperor who condensed his Devil Body before the age of 50?" Mengqi was shocked. "Wasn't he suppressed by Abbot Kong Wen?"
Gu Xiaosang chuckled. "The Evil Master disappeared without a trace after his battle with Abbot Kong Wen. It's normal to suspect that he was suppressed. However, it's also possible that he's seriously injured and has been recuperating for many years. Now that the secret treasure left by his ancestors has appeared, I naturally have to confirm his condition. Unfortunately, perhaps the True Emperor Seal is too worthless to be of much use to him, or perhaps he's really suppressed."
"Confirm the condition of the Evil Master? "Gu Xiaosang and the Luo Denomination are after something big …" Mengqi mused.
"However, the True Emperor Seal and I are really fated to be obtained by my husband. Doesn't that mean that my husband has obtained it?" Gu Xiaosang had naturally discovered the True Emperor Seal hidden on Mengqi's body when he fell into her hands.
Mengqi took a light breath and did not dwell on the matter of the True Emperor Seal. "Where are you taking me?"
"Didn't I say we're going home?" Gu Xiaosang smiled. "My daughter is waiting for my parents."
She was very tight-lipped and did not reveal her purpose at all.
The corner of Mengqi's mouth twitched. He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a knock on the window.
The window was opened and the curtain was lifted. A tall man with a beard poked his head in and smiled leisurely. "Little lady, I want to borrow your husband."
The carriage was running wildly, but the man seemed to be nailed to the window.
"Who?" Mengqi subconsciously turned his head to look at Gu Xiaosang. It was the first time he saw the demoness panicking.
This expression disappeared in a flash. The moonlight shone in through the window and sprinkled on Gu Xiaosang's face and body. Her white dress was dyed with a clear light, making her skin seem transparent and a little weak.
She gently bit her lip and then smiled sweetly. "How can I refuse if you want me to borrow him? I just don't know what you want me to do with my husband. I'll be worried. "
"Don't worry. If I say there's no danger, then there's definitely no danger." The bearded man reached out and grabbed Mengqi. It was as if he was riding on a cloud and followed him.
In the short span of one night, there were so many changes that Mengqi felt like he was in a dream.
The window was empty. The curtain slowly fell and Gu Xiaosang sat quietly in the carriage. Her expression was dark and unpredictable.
"He actually came …"
