Chapter 40 Lan Mi's Responsibility
In a flash, Guo Tianfeng's mind raced. His first thought was to take the person away and become his last disciple.
Then he realized it was impossible, because the little witches of this tribe cultivated witch spirit power, which was completely different from the ordinary spiritual cultivation system.
Then he thought, since she can't be used by me, I might as well destroy her as soon as possible, so that she won't grow up and become a formidable enemy of the Nameless Sect.
But then he remembered a legend: it was said that the little witches of the Holy Witch Clan all knew some kind of magic, and if they were killed for no reason, they would plant a curse on the murderer before they died.
This curse will accompany the murderer for life, and may even be passed down to their descendants from generation to generation. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Thinking of this, he finally suppressed his evil thoughts, walked to the fence gate, and said to the little witch who came out carrying a pot of tea:
"I am Guo Tianfeng, an elder of the Nameless Sect. Please inform him that I have something to discuss with your Holy Maiden and would like to ask her to come here for a talk."
The person carrying the teapot was Wu Xiaoyu, who had come specifically to deliver hot tea to the Feather Fan Saintess and her husband.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Guo Tianfeng. Upon hearing his identity, Wu Xiaoyu's hand trembled, and the teapot fell to the ground.
"It's all over! The Feather Fan Saintess killed their deputy envoy, and this elder has come looking for revenge!" Wu Xiaoyu thought in despair.
At that moment, all she was thinking about was that if the other party wanted her dead, she was willing to die for them, one life for another.
Even if she dies, this person might not be willing to let the Feather Fan Saintess go.
As she trembled, she heard a familiar voice behind her: "Holy Maiden Lan Mi of the Holy Witch Clan greets Elder Guo!"
Since you are a guest from afar, we should invite Elder Guo in to serve tea. However, Elder Guo must have heard of the rules of our Holy Witch Clan.
No outsiders are allowed to enter the tribal territory unless they are the partner of our tribal priestess.
Therefore, I am the only one who can greet the guests. I hope Elder Guo will forgive me!
When Lan Mi said these words, she didn't even glance at the feather fan. She held her head high, looking exactly like a noble white swan.
Yu Shan finally understood that this person was putting on an act in order to prove to her that she, the current Holy Maiden, was far more capable than she, the former Holy Maiden.
In fact, when Guo Tianfeng arrived outside the Holy Witch Clan's territory, he did not conceal his aura at all, which is why Lan Mi was able to sense the arrival of a powerful expert at the Heavenly Inquiry Realm immediately.
Compared to her, who was at the low-level Wentian Realm, the opponent was undoubtedly stronger than her.
However, looking around, she was the only one in the entire Holy Witch Clan at the Heavenly Inquiry Realm. The highest level of the others was only at the Spirit Connection Realm, and the newly returned Feather Fan was only at the Spirit Fusion Realm, with pitifully low cultivation.
It was only because her people gave her the power of faith that she was able to barely break through her isolation barrier and even form a flame totem wrapped in dragon, phoenix, cloud, and bird patterns.
However, when it comes to a real battle, she, at the Spirit Fusion Realm, probably wouldn't even last a single round before being wiped out.
She secretly hoped that Yu Shan would die outside, but she couldn't bear to watch her die in the clan's territory, because she, Lan Mi, was the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan, and protecting every clansman in the clan's territory was a belief etched into her bones.
Shaking like a leaf, Wu Xiaoyu finally saw a glimmer of hope when she saw Saintess Lan Mi arrive.
The man only said he was looking for the Holy Maiden, but he didn't specify that he was looking for the Feather Fan Holy Maiden. Moreover, when he looked at the Feather Fan Holy Maiden just now, he didn't seem to have any intention of questioning her.
Does this mean that he actually didn't know who killed the deputy envoy?
Wu Xiaoyu secretly decided that even if she were beaten to death, she would not reveal a single word of this secret!
This was the first time Guo Tianfeng had met Lan Mi. He felt that the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan was not as mysterious and noble as the legends had described.
It is said that the saintess can communicate with heaven and earth, using their power to protect the weak and punish the wicked.
In his view, the saintess before him was merely bluffing and was actually incredibly fragile.
Thinking of this, he lost his respect and said casually, "Saintess Lanmi, you sent a message to our sect leader saying: Dongyuan Town branch is in danger! Send people to help immediately, and capture important figures."
How did you know that the Dongyuan Town branch was in danger? And who is this important person you mentioned?
Saintess Lanmi was struck by these words. She had previously considered informing on others after being instigated by the Fourth Elder Ruonuan.
But she dismissed the thought after only a fleeting moment. Now, however, Elder Guo was speaking with such conviction that it seemed as if she had truly betrayed him.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the feather fan, hoping that the fan hadn't heard anything and wouldn't suspect that she was the one who did it.
But she knew that such hope was just self-deception. Guo Tianfeng was so close to her, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice. How could she not have heard what he said?
At the same time, Wu Xiaoyu also heard Guo Tianfeng's words. She didn't know if the Feather Fan Saintess had gone to Dongyuan Town, but she knew that the two of them had indeed left for a while before.
When she went to find the Feather Fan Saintess after brewing the tea, she couldn't find her at all. Hua Man told her that the Feather Fan Saintess had gone out.
However, they returned not long afterward. In such a short time, it was impossible for them to make a round trip to Dongyuan Town.
Even if Saintess Lanmi were to inform on the Nameless Sect Master, the person she would inform on wouldn't be Saintess Feather Fan, right?
But what if it really is? Wu Xiaoyu was terrified by this thought, and she trembled even more violently!
In her mind, both Saintess Lanmi and Saintess Yushan were the best people, and they were very kind to all their people.
Especially the Feather Fan Saintess, according to the elders of the clan, five hundred years ago she used time reversal to save her people, but was attacked by the Heavenly Dao, her physical body turned to dust, and her soul almost vanished into nothingness.
Such a wonderful Holy Maiden with a feather fan, surely Holy Maiden Lan Mi wouldn't have the heart to betray her and let the villains of the Nameless Sect capture her?
Saintess Lanmi swayed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
Whether Guo Tianfeng's information is true or false, let's assume it's true; this is the worst-case scenario.
Lan Mi spoke slowly, her tone hesitant: "I sensed that a powerful expert at the Heavenly Inquiry Realm has entered Dongyuan Town, and that he harbors malicious intentions. This is something I, as the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan, can sense."
Although I don't know who the other party is, I am certain that their target must be the branch of the Nameless Sect established in Dongyuan Town.
Because in that town, apart from the two envoys, the highest cultivation level was only at the Fusion Spirit Realm. Such low-level cultivators were not worth the effort of a Heavenly Inquiry Realm expert.
I'm worried that after that person deals with your two envoys, if he senses my presence as a cultivator at the Heavenly Inquiry Realm, he might also attack me.
I am not afraid of death, but I am worried that he will harm my people, so I sent a message to your clan leader to remind him to send people to support us as soon as possible.
Elder Guo, have you caught that person? I want to know who he is and why he would harbor such ill will towards a small town like Dongyuan?
Lan Mi's words sounded reasonable, but Guo Tianfeng felt that something was off, but he couldn't find the flaw.
"That person slipped away too quickly and we didn't catch him. Since the Holy Maiden doesn't know the details either, I won't bother you any longer. Farewell!" Guo Tianfeng said reluctantly.
