495: Chapter 512 Take the Blame, Take Action!

Yin Leici knelt on one knee on the ground, thunderous light flickering all over his body, his aura withered.

Yue Qingyao stared at him for a moment, then cast a glance at Hua Nongying.

Her lips moved, but she didn't make a sound, instead communicating with Xuan Zhenzi via Divine Soul.

"Hua Nongying must have a problem."

Xuan Zhenzi's voice resonated in her mind simultaneously: "You think so too?"

"It's been wrong from the very beginning."

Yue Qingyao's transmission was very calm, as if stating a fact.

"Previously, she proposed dealing with Yin Leici first, but we didn't agree, and then accidents kept happening.

First, this group of guys went crazy and attacked us. Now Yin Leici is having issues. To say this has nothing to do with Hua Nongying, I don't quite believe it."

"But her explanation just now wasn't without reason. Such crude methods don't look like her style."

Although Xuan Zhenzi felt that what Yue Qingyao said had some merit, he still felt something was wrong.

Would Hua Nongying really go to such great lengths for a problem that even a layman could see?

Is she really not afraid of becoming the target of everyone?

If she failed, she would face the hostility and targeting of four people. Is this risk really worth taking?

"That is precisely why it is even more suspicious!"

Yue Qingyao's tone didn't change, but her meaning was very firm.

"Don't forget what kind of person she is! Can a demoness from the Six Desires Demonic Sect be a good person?

It's entirely possible she did this on purpose to make us think it wasn't her, effectively clearing her name."

This was a stereotype, and Xuan Zhenzi was silent for a moment before speaking.

"You mean she intentionally used crude methods to cover up her true intentions?"

"Isn't that the case?" Yue Qingyao asked back.

After speaking, the two looked at each other, stopped transmitting, and no longer needed to discuss anything.

They had already read each other's thoughts!

Hua Nongying cannot be left behind!

Even if they couldn't kill her, they had to force her away; otherwise, leaving her behind would be a disaster!

It wasn't that the two had any deep hatred for Hua Nongying—after all, Yin Leici didn't have much to do with them—it was just that the Righteous Path side naturally banded together.

When it came to the distribution of benefits, who cared about these things?

However, before this, the three of them were considered allies, and their numerical advantage could suppress the Demonic Path's momentum.

But now, Yin Leici had fallen first. Although he hadn't perished, he had lost most of his combat power and was effectively useless. The situation suddenly became balanced again.

This was also Yue Qingyao's main basis for concluding that Hua Nongying was the mastermind.

Wasn't this intentionally weakening their combat power to make things balanced, so there would be one less obstacle for her to scheme for the Opportunity later!

Her mind was truly vicious!

Therefore, the two were unwilling to let this sole variable exist.

As long as she was kicked out, Yuan Tu was nothing to worry about.

This person had always been a follower, hmm, a fence-sitter.

Once Hua Nongying was dealt with, the rest would be easy to handle.

So the two didn't waste any words, acting with zero hesitation.

As Yue Qingyao raised her hand, countless moonlight threads shot out silently.

This time they weren't flying toward the crowd, but wrapping around Hua Nongying's ankles.

Xuan Zhenzi also made a move simultaneously, pushing the scabbard in his arms forward.

The sword hadn't left the scabbard, but an invisible Sword Intent suddenly shot out, piercing directly at Hua Nongying's exposed back.

In the blink of an eye, the two attacked with tacit understanding.

At this moment, Hua Nongying was dealing with the Cultivators rushing over. The tail feathers of the Illusory Colorful Peacock had just spread when she felt her ankles being wrapped by something.

It was cold and flexible, but it made her back feel cold, as if something was approaching her, yet it was invisible and intangible.

However, Hua Nongying's spiritual sense was frantically warning her, as if reminding her to leave immediately.

She didn't hesitate and trusted her instinct.

The Illusory Colorful Peacock behind her suddenly contracted, and the light on the tail feathers no longer shot toward the Cultivators, but exploded around her, turning into a colorful mist.

This was a life-saving method of the Six Desires Demonic Sect; it wasn't known for attacking, but it was perfect for escaping.

The moment the mist exploded, the moonlight threads slipped out of the mist, and the Sword Intent grazed her side, cutting off a strand of her hair.

The black hair drifted down, was eroded by the colorful light in the air, and turned into a wisp of blue smoke.

Hua Nongying retreated dozens of feet, looked down at the red marks left on her ankles by the moonlight threads, and then touched her shortened hair, her eye twitching.

"Two, what is the meaning of this?"

She didn't scream hysterically, but her voice was very low, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

The two she asked had no intention of answering.

Yue Qingyao's hands didn't stop, and the moonlight threads shot out again. Dozens of threads wrapped toward Hua Nongying from different directions simultaneously, weaving into an airtight net.

Hua Nongying's figure turned sharply, the illusory colorful mist swirling around her, corroding the approaching threads one by one.

But there were too many threads; she cut one, and two more wrapped around.

She fought while retreating, anger surging in her eyes.

"What exactly did I do to make you treat me like this? Shouldn't you two give me an explanation!"

"Is it still about the previous matter? But haven't I already explained it!"

Yue Qingyao still didn't speak, and the threads didn't stop.

And this time, Xuan Zhenzi attacked again. His Flying Sword finally left its sheath, "dao gives birth to one" turning into a golden rainbow.

The Flying Sword drew a circle in mid-air, which happened to enclose Hua Nongying.

The Sword Qi didn't just come from the Flying Sword, but expanded outward from every point of that circle, like a bubble compressed to the extreme suddenly bursting.

Hua Nongying's face changed, and she condensed the Illusory Colorful Peacock in front of her to take the hit.

The peacock shattered and dissipated into colorful light spots.

She was shaken back several steps, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

She read something in the eyes of the two.

It was determination, a vow not to stop!

Hua Nongying's heart sank, but she stopped arguing.

She knew that no matter how much she explained, the other party wouldn't believe her.

Since that was the case, then let's fight!

Anyway, with the Nascent Soul trump card, she wasn't afraid of what they could do to her; at worst, she would just retreat in a sorry state.

With this thought, Hua Nongying bit the tip of her tongue hard and sprayed Essence Blood onto the remaining colorful light spots.

Those light spots suddenly lit up, turning into nine Illusory Colorful Peacocks, pouncing toward Yue Qingyao and Xuan Zhenzi from nine directions.

However, she didn't forget to use words to distract them.

"You two, doing this is not very nice!"

"Hmph, what's not nice about it? I think you are the one with ulterior motives!"

Yue Qingyao's voice was still cold, pointing out Hua Nongying's schemes.

"You proposed kicking Yin Leici out not long ago, and then an accident happened. Now Yin Leici is in trouble. Don't you think that's too coincidental?"

Hua Nongying's eyelids twitched, her mouth muttered, but she couldn't speak.

She had indeed proposed dealing with Yin Leici first, but that was before, a normal strategy to divide opponents. What did that have to do with Yin Leici's Qi Deviation now?

These people were truly sick, pinning every blame on her. What did they take her for!

But she couldn't explain it clearly.

It could only be said that the world had too deep a prejudice against their Demonic Path, forming an inherent stereotype. No matter how she explained it, it was just sophistry in others' eyes!

Hua Nongying knew that more talk was useless. She took a deep breath, stopped arguing, and calmed down to deal with their airtight offensive.

Xuan Zhenzi's sword Dao was extremely sharp. Although "dao gives birth to one" was just one Flying Sword, and Xuan Zhenzi was only one person, his Sword Qi was everywhere.

And Yue Qingyao's taiyin Law was just the right complement.

The moonlight threads wrapped around Hua Nongying's ankles, wrists, and neck silently.

The threads weren't sharp, but they were tough. They weren't fast, but they were precise.

You dodge the first one, the second one is already waiting at your landing spot.

You cut the third one, the fourth one has already wrapped around your wrist.

The power of taiyin wasn't known for being fierce, but for its density. Wherever the moonlight went, cold air followed.

It not only froze the Physical Body but also froze the magic power.

Hua Nongying's magic power circulation became more and more sluggish, and every step required twice as much strength as usual.

But the seven emotions and six desires Dao of the Six Desires Demonic Sect was no pushover.

Hua Nongying's illusion didn't just confuse the eyes; it could confuse the heart. It wasn't because those colors were so brilliant, but because those colors would turn into what you desired most, feared most, and were most unwilling to face in your heart.

The illusion struck, making the two's eyes dazed for a moment, but their Dao Heart had long since reached Perfection, and they quickly broke free.

But the situation in a battle changes in an instant, and just a moment was enough for Hua Nongying to escape.

Hua Nongying fought more and more wretchedly. The two's strength was not inferior to hers, and two-on-one made her even more overwhelmed.

Her magic power consumption was twice as fast as usual, and she had more wounds than usual. She couldn't remember the last time she had been this wretched.

At this time, she glanced at Yuan Tu, who had stood aside since the beginning.

He stood in the distance, arms crossed, watching quietly, as if watching a good show.

"Yuan Tu, if you don't make a move, once they finish me, you'll be next! Do you think you can stay out of this?"

Hua Nongying's voice was a bit exasperated, no longer the nonchalant tone from before.

She was truly angry. Didn't this person know the principle of 'when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold'?

If she were kicked out, Yuan Tu would definitely not have a good ending and would certainly be driven away by the two of them together!

"Still not making a move!"

Hua Nongying's voice was sharp, shouting at Yuan Tu.

However, Yuan Tu only lifted his head to look at her, and then... there was no then.

His eyes were as calm as an ancient well, without a trace of emotion.

What a joke, he came here just to go through the motions.

Whether he got anything or not was secondary; anyway, the Old Ancestor didn't say he had to get it.

Now, preserving himself and not getting involved was the right thing to do!

After all, fighting them would cost him his own foundation.

If he won, he probably wouldn't get any of the Opportunity.

Conversely, if he lost, he would be injured, and he would also offend the two.

Although he was also from a cave-heaven force, he didn't have the deep background and backing that the other two had.

If he offended the two now, he might be liquidated after leaving the Secret Realm.

He wouldn't do such a losing business.

So, he pretended not to hear.

Seeing this, Hua Nongying was about to suffocate with frustration.

She should have thought earlier that this person couldn't be relied upon.

There was no friendship in the Demonic Path to begin with. Yuan Tu not backstabbing her at the first Opportunity was already benevolent, let alone helping her when he saw injustice.

It was just that when people are in desperate situations, they always hold onto a glimmer of hope.

She stopped counting on Yuan Tu, gritted her teeth, and bore the increasingly fierce offensive of the two.

The Illusory Colorful Peacock could no longer be condensed; she could only barely maintain the mist around her.

The moonlight threads wrapped around her left wrist, and the Sword Qi left a wound on her right arm deep enough to see the bone.

She looked at her bleeding arm, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.

She suddenly took the Seven Emotions Feather from her hair, and Hua Nongying's aura changed.

A strange, demonic feeling began to permeate from her whole body.

This made Yue Qingyao and Xuan Zhenzi stop at the same time.

They felt something in the deepest part of their hearts being hooked.

It was unclear and indescribable, but it was uncomfortable, making people irritable, and unconsciously making them feel like retreating.

But Yue Qingyao and Xuan Zhenzi were, after all, Dao seeds cultivated with the full strength of the cave-heaven, and they quickly stabilized their minds.

The two looked at each other and attacked simultaneously; they couldn't drag this out any longer.

Yue Qingyao took that drop of Taiyin True Blood from between her eyebrows.

Without hesitation, she crushed it.

The Essence Blood turned into a bright moon, not the fist-sized phantom from before, but a complete, real, bright moon radiating cold moonlight.

The bright moon hung above the stone chamber, the moonlight pouring down like silver.

The moon pressed on their shoulders like a mountain, making it impossible for people to move their feet.

Hua Nongying's face was pale, not because of fear, but because that weight was not only pressing on her body but also on her magic power, her Divine Soul, and her dao foundation.

Xuan Zhenzi also moved. He didn't take out anything, just brought two fingers together and gently wiped the blade of the "dao gives birth to one" Flying Sword.

The two characters "Taichu" rose from the sword, as if they were about to detach from the sword body. That was the Taichu Sword Intent personally inscribed by the Dao Lord of the Qingwei Dao Sect with the Sword Dao Law; every stroke contained the ultimate principles of the Dao.

The Sword Intent hadn't been unleashed yet, just appeared, and Hua Nongying felt the Seven Emotions Feather in her hand trembling.

Hua Nongying took a deep breath and held the Seven Emotions Feather horizontally in front of her.

A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, but her voice remained steady: "Have you two thought it through? Do you really want to fight to the death here?"

Yue Qingyao didn't answer, and the bright moon in the sky sank a few more points.

Xuan Zhenzi didn't say anything, but the "Taichu" characters on the sword had already indicated his attitude.

Hua Nongying didn't speak anymore. She closed her eyes and pressed the Seven Emotions Feather against her forehead.

The feather merged into her forehead, and a colorful vertical mark appeared on her forehead.

Colorful colors seeped out from the vertical mark and spread around her forehead.

Hua Nongying's eyes turned into colorful colors, chaotic, blurred, and unclear.

Her body began to become transparent, as if it could dissipate into the air at any time.

The colorful colors swirled and wrapped around Hua Nongying. They were not dazzling, but bright, like seven ribbons of different colors, wrapping her whole body, blurred like a dream.

The corners of Hua Nongying's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile that was not quite a smile.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight. Do you think this lady is afraid of you?"
