Chapter 347: Chapter 211: Are the Young Master-in-law and the Young Miss Playing Me?
In an instant, the three of them felt a pressure as if a mountain was crashing down on them, their breathing catching in their throats.
They had no idea what this great personage intended to do.
They didn’t even know who he was.
Why had he suddenly visited the Wuyun Sect, and for what purpose?
Had they done something wrong?
But there was no one to tell them.
The only one who could have, Immortal Chong Guang, had been sent away.
TAP, TAP.
True Master Tai Hua’s fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest, each slow, distinct sound landing heavily on their hearts.
No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long moment, the tapping came to an abrupt halt. True Master Tai Hua’s voice finally sounded, "Was it you who requested the Evil God Record?"
Hearing this, the three of them froze, their first instinct to deny it.
But then Red Eagle remembered something.
’The Evil God Record?’
’They hadn’t requested it, but Zui Fusheng must have.’
Seeing their reaction, True Master Tai Hua understood that this matter had nothing to do with them.
Before they could answer, he shook his head slightly and said, "There is no need to answer my question."
Red Eagle and the others were momentarily stunned.
True Master Tai Hua leaned back and said slowly, "The Evil God Record is not a book in the traditional sense. It cannot be viewed like an ordinary book, and it is difficult to carry.
"Furthermore, a text like this cannot be shown to just anyone. It must be viewed in an environment free of outsiders."
Before his voice had even faded, he raised a hand and waved it lightly.
The four black-robed figures standing behind him instantly moved to the four corners of the grand hall.
Then, the four of them formed hand seals and activated an array. In an instant, the arrays around their bodies linked together, seeming to seal off an independent space.
Countless points of light coalesced within it, forming illusory, floating volumes.
A gateway of light opened within the array, directly facing Red Eagle and the other two.
They stared, dumbfounded, at the scene before them.
"All texts related to the Evil God Record are presented here in the form of traditional books. For the duration of my stay, the three of you are free to consult them," True Master Tai Hua said.
He looked at the three stunned figures and continued, "Do you have any other questions?"
The three finally snapped back to their senses. He opened his mouth but, for a moment, didn’t know what to say.
In the end, he just lowered his head and said he had none.
At that, True Master Tai Hua told them they could either leave on their own or begin consulting the Evil God Record.
In the end, the three of them didn’t know how they managed to walk out of the grand hall.
But they soon found a place to sit down in the corridor.
All three sat in silence.
No one spoke.
From the very beginning, they had been waiting for the result of Zui Fusheng’s request, calculating who they should send to the Immortal Sect to borrow the text.
They had always personally traveled to the Immortal Sect to borrow it. When had anyone ever seen someone bring the Evil God Record directly to them?
You Yu couldn’t help but look at Red Eagle and ask, "What is happening right now?"
Red Eagle shook his head without a word.
A matter like this was already beyond his comprehension.
At first, they thought Zui Fusheng’s instruction to "wait" meant to go through the normal procedures.
But now it seemed...
They had been too short-sighted.
There was far more weight to that single word "wait" than they had ever imagined.
Now, the situation had been reversed once again.
As for the demands Zui Fusheng had made, as long as they didn’t harm the living beings of this world, they would find it very difficult to refuse.
The confidence they had built up from underestimating him...
Was gone!

「On the other side.」
Qing Dai was a little surprised after receiving the news.
"Who came?" Meng Qiewei asked calmly, taking a light sip of plain water.
"True Master Tai Hua," Qing Dai said.
The hand Meng Qiewei was using to hold her cup paused slightly. "The Immortal Sect is taking this so seriously?"
Qing Dai was also puzzled. "It is rather strange. Why would Tai Hua come? Could he be here for you, Miss?
"I wonder if he knows your whereabouts, Miss. Logically, he shouldn’t.
"He isn’t responsible for the people on the list.
"Then what is he doing here?
"Could there really be a New Evil God?"
Meng Qiewei set down her teacup and said, "Never mind that. Has there been any news from the clan recently?"
"Yes. They found out about the young master being mistakenly accused of colluding with an Evil God. Now some are proposing to recall the five people sent for the marriage alliance and cancel it," Qing Dai said.
