338: Taking advantage of the situation

Rumors are like tigers.

This is not only true in the previous life but also in the cultivation world.

Especially concerning major gossip about a Saintess with extremely noble and sensitive status like Ying Caier…

“Master…”

Ying Caier came to Mu Wuchen’s side, looking a bit worried, and suddenly spoke.

“I’ve lost contact with the Youying Immortal Palace people.”

Hearing Ying Caier’s words, Mu Wuchen was slightly startled, but in an instant, he understood what had likely happened.

The Youying Immortal Palace people had likely cut ties with Ying Caier, their Saintess…

Ying Caier had told him before that numerous elders of Youying Immortal Palace had repeatedly tried to contact her.

However, at that time, Ying Caier was always within Mu Wuchen’s System World, so messages could not be transmitted, and thus Ying Caier had not replied.

The Youying Immortal Palace’s transmission secret art was extremely covert; as long as Ying Caier had consciousness and cultivation, she would be able to respond.

After such a long time, if they still hadn’t received a response, there could only be two outcomes.

One was that Ying Caier was already dead.

The other was that Ying Caier might truly have suffered a cruel fate as rumored, had her cultivation crippled, or even become a demon’s plaything…

But no matter what, her status as a Saintess held no value for Youying Immortal Palace anymore.

Mu Wuchen could think of this, and Ying Caier naturally could too.

She lowered her head with a dejected expression, like a child who had made a mistake, looking pitiful.

She had grown up in Youying Immortal Palace since childhood and knew deeply that within Youying Immortal Palace, the Palace’s interests far outweighed her own as a Saintess.

Aside from Youying Immortal Palace’s First Saintess, Fairy Yingyue Ying Youyou, who was indispensable, although she was unwilling to admit it, she, the Second Saintess, and the Third Saintess were most likely just substitutes…

Without her, other female Heaven’s Chosen from Youying Immortal Palace would be selected to become Saintesses…

These rumors not only ruined her reputation but also caused Youying Immortal Palace to lose face completely.

Upon learning of this matter, Youying Immortal Palace would certainly strike the culprit who imprisoned her with thunderous force to establish their might…

But she, as a Saintess, could never go back.

The fact that she could no longer actively contact the Youying Immortal Palace people already proved that Youying Immortal Palace had completely given up on her.

Ying Youyou looked at Mu Wuchen pitifully, like a homeless kitten that had been abandoned.

However, Mu Wuchen’s expression was indifferent, as if he didn’t put these so-called rumors in his eyes at all.

Mu Wuchen sneered.

Weren’t these rumors just trying to target him?

Saying he was a demon practicing evil arts, capturing fairies everywhere to refine them into cauldrons?

Wanting him to be flustered, exhausted by dealing with rumors, and even subjected to Youying Immortal Palace’s endless pursuit?

Dream on!!!

Since you say I’m a lustful demon?

Then I am!!!

Since you say I have three heads, four legs, thirty-six arms, and seventy-two cauldrons?

Then I do!!!

If Yang Yi wanted to pour all the dirty water on him, then he would completely muddy the waters!

Mu Wuchen narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Shuihan beside him.

“Shuihan, do you know any famous fairies, Saintesses, or goddesses nearby? The more outstanding, the better; the more famous, the better!”

“I only want those above the Emperor Realm!”

Hearing Mu Wuchen’s words, Luo Shuihan, who was beside him, was slightly startled.

She didn’t know why Mu Wuchen suddenly asked this…

However, since it was Mu Wuchen’s question, she still nodded with a serious expression.

“Fairies of the Supreme Realm can be counted on one’s fingers in the entire Qianyan Immortal Domain; their whereabouts are mostly elusive…”

“But as for fairies whose strength is above the Emperor Realm nearby, I do know a few. All of them are of delicate appearance and beautiful features…”

“However, with their strength, they probably can’t help Master much. Master, you…”

Mu Wuchen, however, merely nodded slightly towards Luo Shuihan and slowly spoke.

“Lead the way!”

Now the rumors were a foregone conclusion.

He naturally couldn’t go around explaining and refuting them one by one; that would be troublesome, and it wasn’t his character.

At the same time, it would also play right into the hands of the rumor-mongers.

That Yang Yi thought he was a righteous person, and righteous people naturally had no way to explain themselves in such a situation, only able to endure in frustration.

But he, Mu Wuchen, was never a good person to begin with!

Since you won’t let me have an easy time, then no one will!

…

Inside the Taiqing Sect, before a golden giant tower, demonic energy surged, demonic flames raged, utterly terrifying.

“Let Qingxian go! If you have anything, come at this old woman!”

An old Daoist nun in white robes spat out blood, her expression filled with despair and sorrow.

However, all her struggles were in vain. Although she had cultivation at the peak of the Emperor Realm, facing that terrifying demonic energy, she was completely crushed!

“Master!!!”

The startled cry of a young woman rang out, her expression despairing, her eyes filled with tears.

But an evil demon with three heads, four legs, and thirty-six arms suddenly extended a terrifying hand!

The next second, a pair of large hands, overflowing with demonic energy, mercilessly seized the delicate body of Holy Maiden Qingxian Ning Qingxian, who had a cultivation of Emperor Realm third level.

Holy Maiden Qingxian seemed to want to make a final struggle with a white jade sword in her hand.

But the next second, terrifying demonic energy emitted from it drilled into her seven orifices: eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Holy Maiden Qingxian Ning Qingxian let out a muffled groan, fainted, and completely slumped into the large demonic hand…

A few more seconds passed, and Holy Maiden Qingxian opened her eyes.

However, her eyes had lost their previous clarity and instead became hazy, even with a hint of unusual crimson and peach colors.

The cold-natured Holy Maiden Qingxian actually twisted her slender waist within the large demonic hand, whimpering…

“Master…”

Seeing her beloved disciple become like this, the old Daoist nun in white robes opposite her was filled with despair.

She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her aura instantly surged!

“Evil demon, I’ll fight you to the death!!!”

The next moment, the old Daoist nun charged towards the terrifying demonic energy opposite her!

However, her desperate strike was slapped away by a single palm from the massive demonic hand!

It’s over!!!

The next second, the old Daoist nun’s body heavily slammed against the golden pagoda…

“Hmph, to annihilate humans like you, one strike is enough for me!”

A chilling voice emanated from the “evil demon’s” mouth.

As if having absolute confidence in his own strength, after one palm, the evil demon actually didn’t bother with the blood-soaked old Daoist nun anymore…

The next second, the body of the demon with three heads, four legs, and thirty-six arms slowly shrunk, eventually transforming into the appearance of a young man…

The man’s appearance was quite proper, but he was completely bald…

The man was in the likeness of Yang Yi.

“With this Holy Maiden Qingxian as a cauldron, my cultivation will surely advance further!”

“Yang Yi” waved his hand casually, and the Holy Maiden Qingxian beside him was taken into his pocket…

He clapped his hands in satisfaction and turned to leave.

However, “Yang Yi” seemed not to have noticed that the old Daoist nun in the pool of blood still had a faint trace of breath.

In the last moment before she fainted, Yang Yi’s figure was deeply imprinted in the old Daoist nun’s mind…

Ying Youyou looked at Mu Wuchen pitifully, like a homeless kitten that had been abandoned.
