Zou Shengshui?

Minglu followed Bai Xiaobai's gaze and looked at the man on the ground.

She had a strong feeling about this man just now; she could vaguely sense the threshold of immortality emanating from him.

It turns out that he was Zou Shengshui.

Mingluo remembered this name.

Previously, she had placed an order with the Fan family.

Fan Yanran from the Fan family fell in love with Zou Shengshui and became pregnant with his child.

As a result, Fan Yanran suffered a miscarriage, ran away from home to find Zou Shengshui, and never returned.

Afterwards, the Fan family received Bai Xiaobai's fox pelt and a cursed letter, and from then on, they were plagued by misfortune.

The person behind all this was Zou Shengshui.

But she had assumed that a great beauty like Fan Yanran would fall in love with a handsome young man.

But now, what appeared in front of her was a decrepit old man.

Is this some kind of grandfather-granddaughter relationship?

That's absolutely outrageous!

She glanced coldly at Zou Shengshui, noticing the subtle movements he was making with his hands.

Without saying a word, she swung her knife, pinning Zou Shengshui's hand firmly to the ground.

"Don't move. I'm in a bad mood right now. Whoever touches me will be in trouble."

Zou Shengshui groaned, his face contorted in pain.

He was clearly taken aback when he saw Bai Xiaobai.

Immediately, his eyes flickered with uncertainty, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Bai Xiaobai stared intently at Zou Shengshui, looking as if she wanted to tear him apart.

It was eager to try, and it looked like it wanted to go up and slap Zou Shengshui to death.

Mingluo comforted it.

"Wait a little longer, there are still people to save down there. After we've saved them, we'll deal with your matter. For the sake of your ancestors, I'll avenge you."

Bai Xiaobai's ruffled fur softened, and it nestled on Mingluo's shoulder like a pitiful dog.

Not long after.

All the members of the Xuanmen Association came forward and began to treat the wounded.

Nie Yuchen also saved the other two elders.

The Golden Silkworm Gu also drove those evil creatures over; several foxes, weasels, rats, and hedgehogs huddled together, trembling.

There were not many casualties in the whole incident; the only one who was unlucky was Master Lin.

He was under a spell and was driven to the rooftop, where he actually jumped off.

Fortunately, with the help of the magical artifact given to him by Mingluo, Master Gu and more than a dozen other elders used their magic power to weave a large net of spiritual energy, which caught Master Lin.

Although Master Lin did not die, he still broke one leg after falling from a building over a hundred meters high.

He lay on the stretcher, cursing and swearing, his heart filled with resentment.

That's so weird!

Last time, Zhao Youde kidnapped him.

This time, he was the one who fell under the illusion spell.

Why is he so unlucky?

Once a person starts making associations, their thinking becomes uncontrollable.

He quickly recalled how much money he had lost at the auction to buy magical artifacts for Mingluo.

Further on, in Zou Jinnian's courtyard, he got into a fight with Mingluo, who then snatched the paper from him.

Further back, the wooden figure was tricked by Mingluo.

His face grew increasingly dark; he finally understood.

Ever since he met Mingluo, nothing good has happened to him.

Just then, Minglu came to visit him.

Minglu smiled and said, "Master Lin, are you alright? I treated your leg; would you like to give me something to thank me?"

Master Lin looked at him strangely and hurriedly called out, "Don't come any closer. My leg isn't in a hurry; let it grow slowly."

Mingluo: "??"

That old geezer is really strange.

Mingluo captured the person, and the interrogation was handled by Zou Zhengqi and Master Gu.

After several rounds, the matter became clear.

Over thousands of years, the Xuanmen (Taoist school) has never been unified.

During this period, Mingluo's work undoubtedly involved unifying the loosely organized Xuanmen sect.

These established sects are used to being loosely organized and will not accept being governed. They find it laughable that Mingluo, a young girl in her early twenties, would attempt to do such a groundbreaking thing.

They wanted to teach Mingluo a lesson.

I also heard that Mingluo was called an unparalleled genius by Master Gu, and praised by Zou Zhengqi as the number one person in the Xuanmen sect in a thousand years.

Several powerful families in the Xuanmen sect did not dare to underestimate Mingluo, so they wanted to take advantage of this Xuanmen Conference to embarrass Mingluo and seize control of the Xuanmen Association.

They had made good progress so far: they easily took down a large group of Xuanmen Association disciples, dealt with Master Lin and others who came to investigate, and lured Mingluo in.

The scheme was about to succeed.

Unexpectedly, Mingluo was able to break the deadlock.

The combined age of these men was over five hundred years, yet none of them could defeat Mingluo.

At that moment, they were so ashamed they wanted to bang their heads against the wall.

After Master Gu finished his interrogation, he asked Mingluo what to do.

Mingluo asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Master Gu's expression was solemn.

"All sects under heaven are one family. However, they used such methods to deal with young disciples and even forced Master Lin to jump off a building. If they succeed today, I think our fate will not be good either. The Xuanmen Association will not accept such people."

Minglu remained silent for a moment.

That's what she thought too.

The Xuanmen Association is composed of people, so scumbags should absolutely not be accepted.

She then looked at Fang Zhengqi.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Zhengqi sighed deeply, his gaze full of meaning, and said meaningfully:

“I come from a long-established Xuanmen family, so I should speak up for them in principle. But not all families are the same. Some families do things behind the scenes, and it is only right to exterminate the entire clan.”

Minglu nodded.

"Since that's the case, then let's waste all our magical power and hand it over to the Celestial Master's Mansion, which is in charge of the Xuanmen (Taoist sects), for investigation."

It was only during this time that she learned that above the Xuanmen Association was an official Celestial Master's Mansion, which was specifically responsible for matters concerning members of the Xuanmen: both law-abiding and law-breaking individuals were under their jurisdiction.

The Xuanmen Association sometimes cooperates with them on certain tasks.

In short, the more Mingluo learned, the more she realized that the world was far from simple!

Once Mingluo made up her mind, she immediately crippled those old men's magical powers.

These old men were all founding ancestors of their respective families, figures revered by all.

Even Mingluo couldn't withstand more than two blows.

They grimaced in pain, and were filled with deep bewilderment.

You should know that they often talk about abolishing a person's power, but in practice, abolishing power is an extremely difficult thing.

If things go wrong, someone might die, or it might never be abolished at all.

But Mingluo only moved her hands lightly above their heads a few times, and they could clearly feel that the power they had cultivated for decades vanished in an instant.

This level of skill is unprecedented and unparalleled, even more shocking than the backlash they suffered previously.

They felt bitter inside, and only now did they vaguely understand what kind of being they had offended.

If only I had known...

Why!

I truly regret my actions.

Soon, it was Zou Shengshui's turn.

Zou Shengshui looked at Mingluo with his shrewd eyes and said coldly, "Let me go, and I'll tell you the secret about that kid surnamed Nie."
