Chapter 336: Chapter 169: If You Have the Guts to Steal a Man, Then Open the Door
What’s more, if these things are discovered by others, Chu Xuan’s reputation will be completely ruined.
Xi Hongzhuang held Chu Xuan’s arm and led him down the mountain, with many female disciples coming to watch as usual during the process.
However, Xi Hongzhuang held considerable authority in this sect, so those female disciples were all sneaking glances, whispering among themselves, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
They probably all thought that the Sect Leader and Guardian had already squeezed Chu Xuan dry, yet it was rare that he still looked so spirited and full of vigor, which proved he truly possessed the Innate Furnace and Cauldron Holy Body.
Chu Xuan was somewhat puzzled, "Why haven’t I seen a single male disciple?"
"There they are." Xi Hongzhuang pointed to a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
There, a few elderly men, all in their seventies and eighties with white hair, were either playing chess or practicing a set of health-preserving moves called Five Animals Play, looking quite "mystically ethereal."
"Look, they are almost thirty, but their spirits are still good."
Chu Xuan watched in shock, "They’ve almost become useless, right? Why don’t you let them go?"
Xi Hongzhuang shook her head, "It’s not that we won’t let them go; it’s that they refuse to leave. After tasting that kind of pleasure, they want to taste it again; it’s addictive, and some even come seeking it themselves."
Chu Xuan shook his head, said no more, and upon exiting the mountain gate, he flew away controlling his sword.
...
Chu Xuan first visited a nearby market, hoping to find the latest news about his senior sister. Although only six or seven days had passed, he still hoped for some information.
Ji Mingyu and her servant naturally followed along. Ming Yu was already tired of cursing the Hehuan Sect women for their despicable, shameless, lascivious, and lowly actions, but Chu Xuan felt a stronger emotional connection after spending a day and night in front of Chen Mengdie’s tomb.
She didn’t know what Chu Xuan saw in the Treasure Pearl. Was it that woman’s last words?
In Ji Mingyu’s impression, the Sect Leader of Hehuan Sect was not a significant person for Chu Xuan during the Celestial Evil Period.
The few he truly liked, Ming Yu had noted down, but fortunately, by now, most of them were dead.
Naturally, Chen Mengdie’s name was not among them, yet surprisingly, she brought such a strong emotional impact to Chu Xuan.
Ji Mingyu felt deeply regretful again. Compared to Chen Mengdie, who didn’t even know Chu Xuan’s name, she was clearly favored by him, but things had ended up like this.
...
At Yu Yan Square, Chu Xuan arrived at the Wugen Ping base, presenting a token to a disciple on duty, watching him place the token along with a blank jade slip into a square jade stone magic tool, and casting spells for a while.
Originally, Chu Xuan didn’t have much hope, but unexpectedly, the jade slip flashed, seeming to have received some information.
The disciple’s expression changed slightly after picking up the token, and then he respectfully handed over the jade slip, "It’s a total of eighty top-grade Spirit Stones, with twenty percent off already applied."
Chu Xuan was both delighted and surprised, having never heard of Wugen Ping offering discounts like this. Usually, even if the king of heavens came, he would have to pay obediently.
Though there were also people who didn’t pay after receiving information, even if you fled immediately, the disciples at the base wouldn’t chase after you.
But later, someone would come to hunt you down, and in just a few days, your head would be neatly placed at your doorstep.
Some even suspected that Wugen Ping secretly nurtured a group of elite assassins specifically for these dirty jobs, and they also accepted outside contracts, but the threshold was quite high.
Chu Xuan didn’t dwell on it, immediately paid the Spirit Stones, and explored the jade slip with his Divine Sense.
The first line was unexpectedly:
Honored Guest: The matter regarding Bai Xiaosheng has been concluded, and after this, silence must be maintained.
...
The general meaning was: The matter with Bai Xiaosheng is settled, and from now on, he will keep his mouth shut. The following content began discussing Qin Mengyao’s whereabouts.
This was another point that surprised Chu Xuan. Shouldn’t unreasonable demands like this be ignored? Is Bai Xiaosheng really one of their people?
Regardless, Chu Xuan continued reading.
According to Wugen Ping, the Seven Kills Demoness appeared in the northern region three days ago, engaged in combat with a group of pursuers, and then disappeared again.
The letter also included a specific location. Due to the northern region’s desolation, with constant wind and snow, there were no specific place names, so most of the markings were mountain names, mountain shapes, or lakes, and it thoughtfully included a hand-drawn map.
Having spent more than eight years in the Land of the Far North, Chu Xuan found the map increasingly familiar, and he began sketching the specific scene in his mind...
After a while, Chu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes! He had indeed been to this place, right near the Broken Sword Mountain Ancient Battlefield.
This made Chu Xuan both surprised and suspicious. Was it a coincidence? Why would his senior sister go to that place? Was she originally heading for the Ancient Battlefield?
This tightened Chu Xuan’s heart; he hadn’t forgotten how dangerous that battlefield was. Not only did he fish up a magic fish there, but even Ji Mingyu’s [Immortal Devil Crystal] was obtained there.
Since Qin Mengyao had already fallen to the demonic path, if she were further corrupted by other demonic thoughts, wouldn’t that be disastrous?
Thinking of this, Chu Xuan immediately left the market, rushing towards the northern region with all his strength, leaving the strange matters of Wugen Ping behind.
Once the jade slip received the message, Ji Mingyu sneaked a glance and, seeing Chu Xuan heading for the northern region, felt anxious.
"Little guy, what do you say we find a chance to take Chu Xuan back to Langhuan Grotto Heaven?"
Little Xue shook her head, "Now is not a suitable time. Even if you manage to lure him back, it will only make him angrier."
"Let’s wait until Chu Xuan finds his senior sister, then decide what to do."
Ming Yu felt helpless; she desperately wanted to talk face-to-face with Chu Xuan again; after ten years, surely his anger had faded somewhat?
Then she glanced at Qingqing and Gu Haitang over there. As expected, the two girls were quickly heading for the Hehuan Sect.
Hehe, you two have already lost.
Ji Mingyu silently recited to herself, then pursued Chu Xuan’s direction.
...
Two days later, Qingqing and Gu Haitang rushed and finally arrived at the Hehuan Sect gate, one after the other.
Originally, Qingqing shouldn’t have been this slow, but after Yao Yufei learned that her daughter was heading to find Chu Xuan again, she detained her daughter’s magic dragon, claiming the sect needed this battle power.
This left Qingqing furious; she tried to control the magic dragon directly, but Yao Yufei indeed had backup, immediately reciting the secret spell to control the dragon.
For a while, the two began contesting control over the Abyssal Devourer, ultimately neither could win over the other, torturing the dragon into agony, causing it to flail its tail and collapse several mountain peaks.
Seeing this, Yao Yufei took a step back, allowing the dragon to spit out a mini-version little dragon for her daughter to take away.
Honestly, she feared Qingqing, possessing such battle power, would completely slip out of her control and elope directly with Chu Xuan, never returning.
Anxious to find her beloved, Qingqing glared at her mother and immediately left.
Honestly, she also feared Yao Yufei would truly have the heart to stop her. Her mother’s reluctance to keep her this time showed a softening of heart.
Gu Haitang actually arrived at the Hehuan Sect earlier than Qingqing, but after yelling at the gate for a while, there was no response?? Her temper began to flare.
Just then, Qingqing appeared, and the two enemies met, red with emotional tension. However, being smart, in the face of a common "threat," they exchanged a knowing look and began whispering in secret.
Soon, the two women shouted in unison, "Open the gate! You have the guts to steal a man, but do you have the guts to open the gate!"
