Chapter 337 Various Families Compete for the Heavenly Spiritual Body
Ming Cang looked out the window with a heavy expression, then turned and strode towards the door to meet the menacing group that had been chasing after him.
"Everyone, please calm down. This was not done by my disciple!"
One of the elderly men in plain robes, his face filled with murderous intent, roared, "Nonsense! Elder Qi saw this with his own eyes! Hand over that demoness now!"
"Yes, I will definitely skin her alive!" One of the old men in black robes had a cold expression and exuded a terrifying aura as he confronted Ming Cang.
Upon hearing the news, Nie Song and his companions rushed over. Seeing the tense situation, they immediately stepped in to stop them, saying urgently, "There's something fishy about this. Can you all calm down first?"
“That’s right, Yu girl has no reason to kill Lao Mu. Don’t fall into the villain’s trap. Let’s investigate first!” Shangguan Lin’s face was full of grief. “Let’s examine Lao Mu’s wounds before we draw any conclusions.”
Ming Cang withdrew his spiritual power and bowed to the crowd. "Everyone, the reason I stayed is to find out the truth! Besides, Lao Mu is a friend of mine for many years, and I have no reason to harm him!"
Looking into the room, everyone realized that Yu Qianling and the others were nowhere to be seen. They angrily shouted, "You let her go!"
Ming Cang said, "You are all so murderous, not even allowing her to say a word. As her master, I naturally have to consider her safety."
"you--!"
"Alright!" Nie Song sighed. "Fellow Daoists, let's go see Old Mu first."
...
On the other end.
Nan Muyin led Yu Qianling and Ye Luo quietly to a Nan family residence. "Alright, let's stay here tonight. I'll go out and find out what's going on."
"Alright, Senior Brother, be careful." Ye Luo watched Nan Muyin leave, then waved his hand to light the lamp, instantly illuminating the room.
At this moment, Yu Qianling seemed to have lost her soul, sitting blankly on the carpet with her head down. Ye Luo saw that she was covered in blood and had many wounds on her face, so she knelt down and began to wipe them for her. "Third Senior Sister, where else are you injured?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qianling looked up at him, then shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "So it was poisoning... It seems that the Soul-Soothing Formula has cured me again."
Hearing her words, Ye Luo checked the spiritual veins to make sure it was safe, and sure enough, as she had said, the poison had been neutralized.
He took out a pill and gave it to her, then sat down beside her and sighed, "Tell me the whole story in detail."
Yu Qianling had recovered her senses and recounted everything that had just happened.
After listening, Ye Luo couldn't help but chuckle. "A series of schemes, it seems she wants to make Peach Blossom Valley the target of everyone's anger."
Yu Qianling angrily punched the ground, "Bastard! I'll kill her sooner or later!"
Ye Luo sighed, "She's in the shadows while we're in the open; this is really a tricky situation."
His expression was grave; the situation was truly dire. If they had been stronger later, they wouldn't have been so afraid of this predicament.
But now...
Qi Jun is currently in seclusion cultivating his Earth Soul, and there is no sign of success yet. Jun Yi is in the Upper Realm and cannot help him at this time.
"Tsk, we're both really racing against time..."
Yu Qianling asked, "You mean she's also buying time?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Luo speculated, "Hmm, the fact that she collected so many souls recently couldn't have been for nothing. She obviously intended to use them for soul refining. I reckon she was planning to fuse with a body and was afraid that we would interfere and ruin things, so she pulled this stunt to keep us occupied."
"Hmph, they're really desperate!"
“But she succeeded.” Ye Luo shrugged. “We are indeed tied down now and have no time to cause her any trouble.”
Just as the two were talking, Nan Muyin ran back with a serious expression and waved to them, "Come on, let's leave here right away!"
Seeing his expression, Yu Qianling's heart tightened. "Has something happened to Master?"
"No!" Nan Muyin said, "It's my junior brother! For some reason, the news that he possesses the Heavenly Spirit Physique has been confirmed. Now, all the cultivators in the city are like madmen, using the pretext of avenging the Alliance Leader to arrest us!"
"Tsk, I underestimated her." Ye Luo sneered coldly with a gloomy expression: "So the ultimate target of the Soul Guide is me. It seems that I am coveted by all parties, who are eager to devour me."
The preceding series of events made Peach Blossom Valley the target of everyone's hatred. Then, the murder of the alliance leader was framed against the Third Senior Sister, giving those who had been eager to make a move a legitimate reason to commit the crime.
To avenge the leader?
This is absolutely ridiculous!
Nan Muyin said seriously, "This woman is very good at manipulating human nature, and now she has become a great help to him."
Ye Luo sighed, "Let's go. We should hurry back to Peach Blossom Valley. It will be safer back at the sect."
"What about Master?" Yu Qianling asked anxiously. "We can wait for Master to explain things clearly. As long as the truth is found out, those people might not dare to act recklessly!"
“The truth is no longer important,” Nan Muyin said solemnly. “The Immortal Alliance is actually a gathering place for various forces. Driven by such tempting interests, this matter will never be thoroughly investigated.”
"Let's go, Senior Brother." Ye Luo took out some invisibility talismans. "Take some with you all. Avoid those cultivators if you can, and if you really can't, just kill them to silence them!"
After sending a message to the Nan family, Nan Muyin, along with Ye Luo and Yu Qianling, took advantage of the night and ran towards the outskirts of Nancheng.
The three of them had barely stepped out of the courtyard when they ran into two or three groups of people. Fortunately, with the cover of the invisibility talisman, they successfully avoided a lot of trouble.
Ye Luo had anticipated the consequences of being exposed, but seeing such a crazy scene still made her feel nauseous. Being treated as someone's meal was not a pleasant experience.
"Haha, everyone in the world is driven by profit. It must be really tough for them to get up in the middle of the night and search so diligently."
"Junior brother, you're still in the mood for jokes." Yu Qianling looked around warily. "It seems like someone is watching us from above. Let's sneak out through the city gate."
"Hmm." Ye Luo sensed it all the way through with her divine sense. There were many high-level cultivators hiding in the shadows, including not only the elders of the Immortal Alliance, but also high-level cultivators from other forces.
Watching the people searching everywhere on the street, wave after wave passed by.
Nan Muyin looked up at the horizon and said, "We can't keep going like this. If we wait until it's fully light, it will be even harder for us to move. I'll give them a feint later, and you guys can seize the opportunity to rush out of the city."
Ye Luo: "Senior Brother..."
Nan Muyin patted the top of his head. "Their target is you, and with my current cultivation level, it won't be difficult for me to escape on my own. So don't worry."
"Um!"
