Chapter 362: 201, Demon Sect, Mo Xianxian_2
She had set a trap for him.
Xu Yuan was so angry that his teeth itched.
If he could truly do as he said, with eyes only for her.
Then, the life or death of the others should not matter to him.
That being the case, when the time came, whether to let them go or not would still depend on her mood, wouldn’t it?
Moreover, what would be the basis upon which his accomplishment of the goal was determined?
Wasn’t it still up to her to decide?
“You…”
“What’s wrong with me?”
Tian Liuli tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“Nothing, you just look really beautiful today,”
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said.
“That’s good then.”
Tian Liuli’s expression remained indifferent and very beatable.
Snowflakes began to dance in the air again, seemingly out of nowhere, and after the recent baptism of immortal skills, the entire secret realm settled into a quietude.
Even the spirits of the secret realm seemed to have been frightened, lurking out of sight.
Tian Liuli led him, and the two of them walked from the edge to the core of the secret realm.
Along the way, they did not encounter any more obstacles.
…
“Phew, finally out.”
As the sky’s light shifted and that familiar valley appeared before his eyes, Xu Yuan unexpectedly felt a sense of estrangement from the world.
Tian Liuli, in a white dress, was still stunningly beautiful.
She stood by his side, her expression serene and her tone gentle, “Have you decided where you want to go into hiding?”
“Now that neither the demon races nor the human races have a place for us to hide, there’s only one place left for us on this continent, right?”
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said.
There were actually many other places they could go, such as overseas or islands beyond the sea.
But he wasn’t sure if he could find help in those places.
“The Demon Sect?”
After pondering for a moment, Tian Liuli cast him an indifferent glance, did not speak, but said, “As long as you don’t regret it, let’s go.”
Seeing that she was not suspicious, Xu Yuan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Before they left the secret realm, the two tried to search for Lin Qingque in the place they had left her.
But just as Xu Yuan had predicted, both she and Tao Yaoyao were no longer there.
Xu Yuan did not know where she had gone, but he was very clear.
Lin Qingque was an essential card in his plan to counter Tian Liuli.
He had intended to use the conflict between the two women to create an opportunity for him to rescue the others from Tian Liuli’s clutches.
However, during the time that followed, she seemed to have vanished, always absent.
With no other choice, Xu Yuan had to opt for the next best thing.
To seek out the last leading lady—Mo Xianxian.
Truth be told, although he knew that she was someone he would have to confront sooner or later, he still felt uneasy.
Because that person was a lunatic.
“With me having reservations, Jing Lixue trapped, and Lin Qingque and Tao Yaoyao’s whereabouts unknown, there’s only one person left who would be willing to help me stand against Tian Liuli.”
Xu Yuan’s gaze flickered.
If possible, he truly did not want to seek her out.
But now, it seemed there was no choice.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingque, whom Xu Yuan was constantly thinking about, had a hint of madness in her gaze.
She looked at the sky, furrowing her brows deeply, pondering something unknown.
Tao Yaoyao at her side cast a timid glance.
Lin Qingque had been in this posture for a long time.
Ever since their search for her had been in vain, she had remained like this.
“What’s, what’s wrong, Miss Lin?”
Having no other choice, Tao Yaoyao huddled up and asked softly.
As if awakened by her words, Lin Qingque finally came out of her reverie.
She shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
However, she had finally figured everything out.
She now knew why Tian Liuli was so insistent on ascending with him.
…
Cold sand fluttered down like a shower of stars upon the hurrying passersby.
The core area of the Demon Sect territory, the Black Horn Domain.
That was a region adjacent to the battleground of humans and demons, next to Two Realms Mountain.
In Black Horn City, a skyscraper rose from the ground as if poised to pierce the sky, standing tall and proud.
At the entrance of the tower, there hung a signboard with the glittering golden words “Star Plucking Tower” written on it.
The top floor of the Star Plucking Tower.
This place appeared to be the rooftop, yet it contained another universe within.
A disciple clad in a black robe ascended the staircase, his steps deliberate. When he entered the top floor, his vision flickered.
The elegantly furnished floor vanished in an instant, replaced by a luxurious and exquisite manor.
In the courtyard of the manor, amidst the flowers and trees, a figure in dark attire stood between Black Mountain and White Water, radiating a chilling aura and intent to kill.
The spring breeze caressed the girl’s face, leaving a frosted coolness between her youthful and delicate eyes and brows.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, her aloof gaze flickered with a quick glance.
“Is there something?”
Her voice was cool and clear, devoid of major inflections.
Yet, it caused the black-robed disciple to break out in cold sweat on his forehead.
No wonder he was nervous, for the girl before him was unpredictable in her moods, having committed innumerable unthinkable deeds in her pursuit of the Young Master position, with her hands stained with more blood than all the disciples who had died at the hands of the Immortal Sects and the demon race over the years combined.
“Young Master, we have found the person you were looking for,” declared the disciple.
The light from the sky spilled in the distance, casting a radiant glow on her charming face.
With her eyes shimmering brightly, the girl tilted her head slightly, her lips curling into a captivating smile.
The sight momentarily stupefied the black-robed disciple.
Having been by this calamitous figure’s side for so long, it was the first time he had witnessed the Young Master display such a charming expression.
Previously, her expressions had always carried a touch of murderous intent, but this one seemed to hold only joy.
The black-robed disciple reached this conclusion when suddenly a sense of alarm screamed in his mind, and an intense murderous aura began to burst forth from the Young Master before him.
“Oh? Where is he now? Is he accompanied by a few women?” she asked with a lazy demeanor, half-jokingly.
“Was he brought along by someone? Or did he come with broken hands and feet?”
“Subordinate… Subordinate doesn’t know…”
The black-robed disciple hastily knelt and knocked his head on the ground, begging for mercy.
“Hmm?”
The girl let out a sound from her lofty nose, her tone gentle and her smile brimming, “Are you playing me?”
“No! It’s not like that, your subordinate isn’t!”
The black-robed disciple promptly knocked his head, adding, “This news comes from spies within the demon race, they say someone saw a person suspected to be the one the Young Master is looking for at an auction.”
“Oh? An auction?”
The girl in the ink-hued dress nibbled on her tender fingertips, her eyes slightly curved: “A human, appearing so openly at a demon race’s auction?”
“Are you playing me? Huh!?”
“No, not at all. It is said that he was accompanied to the auction by the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox’s Return to Void ancestor from the demon race.”
“The demon race? The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox? Ancestor of Return to Void?”
Annoyance flickered in Mo Xianxian’s eyes: “Sounds like trouble. Is she pretty?”
“…”
The black-robed disciple was initially stunned, then nodded and shook his head, obsequiously uttering, “Very pretty, but not as pretty as the Young Master.”
The smile on Mo Xianxian’s face froze for a moment as she gave him a cold look, sending a chill down his spine, unsure of what he had just said wrong.
Fortunately, Mo Xianxian quickly moved past the topic, saying, “Continue, what happened next?”
“After that, the Nine-tailed Fox Lord broke with the Dragon Lord and defected from the demon race. It’s said it was all because of him,” the disciple continued.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xianxian’s originally bright and spring-like face instantly turned cold.
The surrounding spring warmth suddenly became as biting as a harsh winter wind.
“Continue.”
He heard the undisguised disgust in the girl’s voice rise.
“Later, the Nine-tailed Fox Lord’s whereabouts became unknown, but it was rumored that the Dragon Lord and Tiger Lord among the five great Monster Lords entered a special secret realm together in their incarnations and returned with nothing. It’s said that within the secret realm is where the Nine-tailed Fox Lord hid.”
Seeing no change in the girl’s expression, the black-robed disciple went on, “After that, they went into the realm personally and came out later. The Nine-tailed tribe, as well as those who still exist among the Ten Holy Tribes…”
Mo Xianxian made an acknowledging sound.@@novelbin@@
She understood what this meant.
As long as the Nine-tailed Fox Lord was not eliminated, the position within the Ten Holy Demon Races would always have to be reserved for it.
“But logically, with the capabilities of a Monster Lord, as long as the Nine-tailed Fox Lord is still within the demon territory, they wouldn’t give up so easily. Yet, according to the spy’s report, the search only lasted for a short while before it ended.
And the gentleman you’re looking for, Young Master, has also offended the Immortal Sects.”
After finishing his report, the black-robed disciple placed his forehead on the ground tiles, his heart pounding with excitement, he said:
“Therefore, your subordinate boldly surmises that the gentleman you seek, my lord, is now within the Holy Sect’s realm.”
The ideal gentleman?
The glimmer of pleasure that had once subtly filled Mo Xianxian’s eyes now turned obscure and dim.
She gazed at the bowing disciple, her voice expressing neither joy nor anger: “Repeat that?”
