"Are we just going to let Bai Mumu run rampant like this?" Song Weiyan was seething with anger.

In the past, those evil cultivators at least made their evil out in the open, so you could just take action and beat them to your heart's content when you saw them.

Bai Mumu pretends to be a weak and innocent girl on the surface, but secretly she colludes with evil spirits and does all sorts of inhuman things.

Unfortunately, those two fools, Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren, trusted her completely and protected her with all their might.

That's what disgusts them the most.

If Ninghua Sect were still the same Ninghua Sect as before, what would Feiyun Sect or Lingxiao Zhenren matter? Why bother with such things? Why suffer this humiliation like swallowing a fly?

“Bai Mumu has already implicated others. This time it’s Linglong Pavilion, next time it might be the entire cultivation world.” A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Sangruo’s eyes.

Originally, she didn't think much of Bai Mumu, but Bai Mumu insisted on harming the people around her. So, she clearly added another item to her future plans: to take Bai Mumu's life.

"The evil spirits surrounding her are too powerful and bizarre, and she will surely become a major threat to the cultivation world. We can no longer tolerate her reckless behavior. If we have the chance, we should kill her directly."

We will surely find evidence of evil spirits on her body.

"I'm afraid she won't leave Feiyun Sect easily now. So let's wait until Ninghua Sect surpasses Feiyun Sect and then go directly to Feiyun Sect."

In short, Bai Mumu must be eliminated.

"But she has evil spirits on her, can we really kill her?" Su Xiyu was a little worried. Last time in the secret realm, even so, Bai Mumu managed to escape.

“Although she didn’t die last time, she was seriously injured. The fact that she hasn’t made a move for so long shows that her evil spirit is not invincible.” Shen Sanruo gave Su Xiyu a reassuring look. “If it doesn’t work the first time, we’ll kill her a few more times. We’ll eventually take her life.”

If that evil spirit were truly that powerful, Bai Mumu would have already been a dominant figure in the cultivation world.

Why bother pretending to be pitiful and trying to gain favor in front of those people from the Flying Cloud Sect?

In truth, Bai Mumu truly cultivates the "Path of Ruthlessness." Her initial purpose upon returning to the Flying Cloud Sect was to kill those six people to attain enlightenment and plunder their cultivation.

Unfortunately, Feng Heyun and the other three now hate Bai Mumu to the core, and Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren's attitudes toward her have also changed somewhat.

If Bai Mumu hadn't messed with Linglong Pavilion, she really would have liked to watch them die at Bai Mumu's hands and see how they would react when they discovered Bai Mumu's true colors.

After the discussion ended, a brief silence fell over the room.

Their attention returned to the Linglong Pavilion.

With the treasure hunt just around the corner, this incident at Linglong Pavilion has occurred. It has to be said, Bai Mumu really knows how to manipulate emotions.

Everyone at Linglong Pavilion had poured countless efforts into bringing it to this top-tier auction house, only to have it all destroyed in less than a day.

The damaged treasures even saddled them with a huge debt of spirit stones.

If it were other sects, they would most likely no longer be willing to have any connection with Linglong Pavilion.

Even if there is an opportunity to enter the Starry Plains, no one can guarantee how many treasures they can find there.

“Linglong Pavilion can no longer operate, so Fellow Daoist Sang Ruo, please send the treasures to other auction houses.” Li Qingwen seemed to have aged several decades in an instant. “The opportunity to go to Xingchen Plain is a gift from Linglong Pavilion to Ninghua Sect, and it will not be considered as a cooperation between us.”

Even if we obtain more treasures from the Starry Plains, the Linglong Pavilion can never return to what it was before.

Once Ziwei Pavilion finds out, they will definitely kick you while you're down, and Linglong Pavilion won't even have the chance to make a comeback.

At this moment, Li Qingwen was utterly despondent and clearly intended to give up on Linglong Pavilion.

Before Shangguan Rong fell into a coma, he foresaw the fate of Linglong Pavilion and told him that they should also get some rest.

“Bai Mumu holds a grudge against Linglong Pavilion because of me. Since that’s the case, I can’t just ignore Linglong Pavilion. There might still be a chance for the treasure hunt.” Chen Sangruo said solemnly.

Bai Mumu wanted to achieve her goals of making Linglong Pavilion resent her and making Ninghua Sect abandon Linglong Pavilion.

Li Qingwen did not do that, so Ninghua Sect naturally would not sit idly by.

"Ninghua Sect will assist in the reconstruction of Linglong Pavilion. During this period, you should stay at Ninghua Sect and leave things here to our sect."

Before leaving Ninghua Sect, she instructed Fang Yu to bring more people to help, and they should be arriving soon.

"Hmm." Li Qingwen nodded bitterly. Although he didn't have much hope, there was no better way at the moment.

Immortal Lord Changli first took Li Qingwen back to Ninghua Sect for treatment.

Shen Sanruo and the others stayed behind and joined up with the people Fang Yu brought, and then began to clear the ruins.

The search is ongoing, and efforts are being made to recover as much of the treasures as possible.

The atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Looking at the corpses, everyone's hatred for Bai Mumu reached its peak.

Shen Sanruo's eyes flashed with a chilling light. Did she think that because she was hiding behind her back, she couldn't find any fault with her and therefore had no way to deal with her?

"Junior Sister, do you have an idea to punish Bai Mumu?" Su Xiyu knew she was in the bag as soon as she saw her expression.

“Bai Mumu forgot that rumors don’t need solid evidence to spread.” Her gaze was deep.

Just like the suggestions Bai Mumu gave to Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren during the sect competition, she could even turn black into white and easily smear her reputation.

Moreover, the fact that Bai Mumu was possessed by evil spirits had already been foreshadowed before.

"This fire will only burn brighter." She looked at the flames on her fingertips and sneered, "Bai Mumu doesn't have the ability. Be careful not to play with fire and get burned."

The news that Linglong Pavilion had been inexplicably slaughtered by evil spirits spread rapidly throughout the cultivation world, causing widespread shock and panic.

But more people noticed the word "evil spirit." The incident at the sect competition had caused quite a stir, and they subconsciously thought of Bai Mumu.

Moreover, the Flying Cloud Sect had already targeted the Ninghua Sect because the Linglong Pavilion had sided with them.

Isn't this all correct?

The people in the cultivation world instantly felt that they had discovered the truth.

So much so that Shen Sangruo did not mention the Flying Cloud Sect at all in the messages he sent out, but in the end, every word of the rumors pointed directly to the Flying Cloud Sect.

And it's getting worse.

"What?! The evil spirit that slaughtered Linglong Pavilion came from Bai Mumu of Feiyun Sect?!"

"What?! Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren knew all along that Bai Mumu was involved with evil spirits, and deliberately protected her?!"

"What?! It was Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren who instructed Bai Mumu to use evil spirits to massacre Linglong Pavilion?!"

"What?! Shen Daochen and Lingxiao Zhenren are involved with evil spirits?!"

"What? The Flying Cloud Sect is a den of heretics?"

"..."

When Shen Daochen heard the news of Linglong Pavilion's troubles, he was still mocking Linglong Pavilion. This is the consequence of opposing him.

He even drank several more cups of tea to thank the evil spirit who had cleaned up the Linglong Pavilion for him.

But later on, he gradually realized that the rumors were not true, and the teacup in his hand shattered on the ground.
