Chapter 197 Qingbao gets caught red-handed after causing trouble.

The purple-gold gourd was put away.

The treasures in the secret room were instantly swept away, along with a pile of messy things and a small flame.

"Useless thing." Qingbao picked up the wisp of fire and threw it under the pillar.

boom--

Flames erupted instantly, and thick smoke billowed out.

Tang Chen waved his hand, and a barrier was erected, keeping Qing Xuan and the others outside.

She gathered Qingbao and the others under the umbrella and then slipped away.

*

Qingxuan slammed his head against the barrier, his eyes wide with fury.

"How dare you trespass into my territory!"

He pushed hard with his palm.

moment.

The barrier shattered instantly.

Qingxuan stared blankly as his bedchamber was engulfed in flames and burned fiercely.

The secret room has been smashed up.

The fire spread inside, burning everything that could be ignited.

It devours things extremely quickly.

By the time he reached out and put out the fire, his magnificent bedroom was nothing but a shell.

The roof was burned through, letting in the moonlight.

"My baby! My baby!!!"

Qingxuan was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot and his whole body was writhing with crimson fury.

"Second, Second Elder..."

Seeing Qingxuan like this, the disciples guarding the palace mustered their courage and came over.

Qingxuan's bloodshot eyes locked onto him instantly. "Who did this! Who did it!"

His mirror of cause and effect had not yet been taken out, and now even the ashes had disappeared.

For the first time in its thousand-year history, Tianxian has suffered such an undeserved calamity!

The disciple trembled violently, "I...I...we don't know...we were knocked unconscious and thrown out..."

"Second Elder, aren't you good at fortune telling? Can you tell us who's behind this? Let's find out who he is and grind him to dust!" Someone immediately suggested.

Qingxuan gritted his teeth, tears welling in his eyes.

"Without the books, how will I perform divination..."

Without any books on divination, he simply wouldn't know how to follow the steps in a book...

Damn it, this wave is aimed at him!

"what happened?"

At that moment, a cold, sharp voice came from outside the door.

The disciples quickly made way, their faces full of respect, "Sect Leader."

Zhu Yi landed on the ground, frowning as he looked at the mess.

Qingxuan looked at him with surprise, "Disciple, your injury healed so quickly?"

Despite the life-threatening injury, it has recovered to this extent in just a few months.

The Grand Elder's strength is truly terrifying.

Zhu Yi looked at him coldly, "Qing Xuan, you've gone too far."

That tone.

Qingxuan was startled for a moment.

*

Tang Chen returned to the dungeon.

The disciple guarding the dungeon gate nodded respectfully to her.

"Senior sister! Why are you here again?"

Tang Chen remained calm. "Do I need to explain to you?"

The disciple shrank back, not daring to ask any more questions.

In any case, in this place where status is determined by cultivation level, Tang Chen, as a top expert, naturally has no need to explain to him.

However, he still asked, "If someone from above comes to inquire, I dare not fail to report the truth."

"I came here just now because Qingbao threatened me, wanting me to let her out," Tang Chen sighed.

The disciple's eyes widened. "Such a thing is true?"

Tang Chen nodded, "Yes, fortunately the Second Elder helped me break the formation and I am no longer under Qingbao's control. Just now, the library and the Second Elder's bedroom were burned down. I was worried that you were not watching over her properly and that Qingbao escaped."

The disciple panicked, "How is this possible, Senior Sister? I've been guarding this place the whole time, and I haven't been negligent at all!"

"Take me to see if Qingbao is there. If it really was her, you'll lose your life."

Tang Chen looked like she was doing it for his own good.

The disciple was extremely grateful and quickly led Tang Chen into the dungeon.

Just as the black mist inside the umbrella burst forth and surged towards the dungeon.

call out--

A white ribbon suddenly appeared and tightly bound the two streams of black energy.

Dressed in white, Xuan Yue emerged from the dark dungeon, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"I never imagined that the arson attack on the library was orchestrated by my senior sister."

The words were spoken.

Qingbao cried out "Ouch!" as she was thrown to the ground and landed on her bottom.

Tang Chen glanced helplessly at Qing Bao, then frowned and looked at Xuan Yue.

Xuan Yue slowly approached Tang Chen and asked, "Senior Sister, if I tell the Second Elder about this, how will he deal with you?"

"I will leave him a complete corpse." Tang Chen said each word with icy coldness.

Xuan Yue was startled by her gaze and shivered.

"As the senior disciple of the Tianxian Sect, you should have taken it upon yourself to protect Tianxian. How dare you collude with Qingbao and set fire to Tianxian's library!"

Xuan Yue adopted the air of a sect leader's wife, her face fierce, "Senior Sister, if you gouge out Qing Bao's eyes for me, I'll pretend this never happened."

Tang Chen replied calmly, "No."

She couldn't bring herself to gouge out a child's eyes.

Her daughter was also three years old when she died, the same age as Qingbao.

Every time I see Qingbao, I can't help but think of her child.

Tang Chen felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart.

She has not yet reached the Mahayana level because she is trapped by this obsession.

"Then I'm going to tell the Second Elder that you've colluded with Qingbao!" Xuan Yue glared at her angrily.

Tang Chen raised her chin slightly, "Qingbao forced me to."

"With your cultivation level so high, how could she possibly force you? Instead of stopping her, you're helping her. You've clearly betrayed Tianxian! You traitor!"

Xuan Yue raised the white silk in her hand, actually preparing to make a move.

Tang Chen frowned. "It really was her who threatened me."

Xuan Yue sneered: "With your cultivation level so high, how could she threaten you? Why doesn't she threaten me?"

boom--

Tang Chen knocked her unconscious with a single palm strike.

"Ugh, so annoying! Since you're so eager to be threatened, then go ahead and experience what it's like to be threatened, Qingbao!"

Qingbao revealed two small, snow-white milk teeth and called out Futu.

"Quickly, let's plant an array in Xuan Yue's dantian as well."

Tang Chen, holding an umbrella, said coldly, "I don't want a third person to know about this."

Qingbao nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling like a little coal.

The gatekeeper, who witnessed all of this, put his hand into his mouth in horror.

Tang Chen looked at him, "Understand?"

Just as the gatekeeper was about to shout, the next moment...

He collapsed to the ground.

Tang Chen erased his memory and threw him out of the dungeon to continue guarding the gate.

*

When Xuan Yue woke up.

She found herself in complete darkness; the primordial energy in her dantian had vanished, and she had returned to her Nascent Soul cultivation level.

There was still a slight pain, for some reason.

Qingbao's ghostly voice rang in her ear:

"Xiaoyue, you're awake."

Xuan Yue was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she threw out a white silk ribbon to kill Qing Bao.

Fu Tu gently pinched it and crushed it.

A sharp pain shot through my lower abdomen, and I felt like I was about to explode.

Xuan Yue collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely.

"What...what did you do to me?"

Why does it feel like her dantian is about to explode whenever it stirs?

A faint array appeared in Qingbao's palm.

"It's simple. From this moment on, you are my subordinate. I will threaten you to do things."

"You don't need to be jealous of Xiao Chen. From now on, you are no longer a wild child who has no one to threaten you."
