Qi Tong: [He not only has people in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, but also in the Phoenix Buddha Sect, the Boundless Palace, and the Imperial Palace. Moreover, the Emperor has already been seriously injured by his men and probably won't live much longer.]
Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian subconsciously turned around and stared blankly at Bei Mingchuan.
In less than five years, he has achieved so much.
But how did his people manage to sneak into the imperial palace?
Qi Tong was relieved: [Looking back now, it's fortunate that his corruption level wasn't full, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.]
"Master, what's wrong?" Bei Mingchuan asked worriedly when he saw that her complexion was not good.
"No...it's nothing..." Mu Tiantian turned around and looked at the people from various sects and the imperial court.
If the people in front of you are all from Beimingchuan.
This situation seemed like a setup he had orchestrated.
It was as if, with just a thought from him, this place could become a river of blood.
Moreover, it seems that she was included in this scheme as well.
Bei Mingchuan noticed the change in Mu Tiantian's expression, his eyes shifted slightly, and he tightened his grip on her hand.
Mu Tiantian: [Seventh Commander, can I burn the map this time?]
Seven Commanders: [Burn it.]
Keeping this map is just asking for trouble.
Right now, clearing out the corruption value of Beimingchuan is far more important than this broken map.
"Are you sure you'll let me go?" Ye Ning asked.
"It's true, of course. As long as you loudly tell others who cooperated with you to steal the treasure box, I will let you go."
“It’s Feng Xue.” Ye Ning raised her voice. “Feng Xue came to find me after learning that you had been resurrected, to kill you and steal the treasure map.”
"You're lying!" Feng Xue shouted anxiously. "She's the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect! How can you believe what she says?"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
The Feng family is a prestigious and righteous sect, and is the number one sect in the martial arts world. Now, they are cooperating with the Wan Du Sect, a demonic sect.
They would stop at nothing to find a treasure map.
Mu Tiantian could deduce that Ye Ning was cooperating with people from the Phoenix Buddha Sect.
However, this must be said by Ye Ning herself, so that others can hear it with their own ears.
Mu Tiantian said loudly, "If the Phoenix Buddha Sect would stop at nothing to cooperate with the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect for a treasure map, then if the Phoenix Buddha Sect wants anything else in the future, can they still resort to such trickery and robbery?"
"Or perhaps the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect can gain the protection of the Phoenix Buddha Sect or even the imperial court by burning, killing, and looting in the martial arts world?" As soon as Mu Tiantian said this, the crowd started to discuss.
Mu Tiantian pressed her advantage, "Now that Feng Xue is married to His Highness the Crown Prince, the idea of banning martial arts must have been proposed by the Feng family, right?"
These words caused some sects that had originally supported the Feng family to begin to waver.
"That's not how it is!" Feng Xue looked to Tuoba Qing for help.
Tuoba Qing's expression was quite unpleasant, but he said nothing and did nothing, as if he was waiting for something.
"Mu Tiantian, you said you would let me go." Ye Ning just wants to live now.
If she ever gets the chance in the future, she will definitely repay what she suffered today tenfold!
Mu Tiantian was unfazed by the murderous intent flashing in her eyes and said to Yi Xun, "Let her go."
Yi Xun glanced at Bei Mingchuan, who then gave him a wink.
Yi Xun sheathed his sword, and Ye Ning used her lightness skill to quickly leave.
Seizing the opportunity, Feng Xue quickly said, "You saw it, Mu Tiantian let that demonic cult witch go. This is her way of sowing discord among us. Don't believe it! Our Feng family will never cooperate with the demonic cult."
Seeing that Mu Tiantian had really let Ye Ning go, everyone was wavering in their hearts.
Mu Tiantian didn't refute Feng Xue's words after she finished speaking. In short, she wanted to create discord among the sects that supported the Fengfo Sect.
The objective has been achieved.
Next, it's time to burn the treasure map.
Mu Tiantian: [Could you check if Bu Xiuyi has arrived yet?]
Qi Tong: [I've detected that he's leading his men this way.]
Mu Tiantian nodded, took Bei Mingchuan's hand, and brought the back of his hand to her lips.
Then came a bite.
Her lips were soft and delicate, and the skin touched by them felt slightly itchy, a stark contrast to the stinging sensation of her biting.
This didn't cause Bei Mingchuan any pain; instead, it gave him a strange feeling of excitement.
Mu Tiantian stopped when she saw blood. She placed the treasure box under her hand, and the blood dripped into a groove in the center of the box, where it was instantly absorbed.
Click—
The treasure box was opened, revealing an outer wooden box that contained a very sturdy iron box inside.
The mechanism on the tin box rotated automatically, and finally the tin box opened.
Inside was half a parchment scroll with a map printed on it, and next to it was a hairpin with withered Taihang flowers on it.
Bei Mingchuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the hairpin.
Five years ago, after she returned from meeting Tuoba Qing, her hairpin was gone. He asked her, "Where is your hairpin?"
"It's probably lost."
"I'll pick another flower for you, and then I'll buy you a hairpin."
"No need, I... I don't really like it anyway, so I'll just throw it away. It's not worth it for a flower."
This flower was just something Mu Tiantian glanced at a few more times and praised when she passed by the cliff back then.
Bei Mingchuan picked it and gave it to her, but he was a stubborn person and only said that it was blown up by the wind and picked up on a whim when he gave it to her.
If Qitong hadn't told her the truth, she might have actually believed him after seeing his perfunctory attitude.
Mu Tiantian took out the hairpin and handed it to Bei Mingchuan, smiling sweetly, "Help me put it on."
Seeing that she was staring at him intently, Bei Mingchuan subconsciously agreed, "Okay."
System: [Bei Mingchuan's hatred value decreased by 5, currently at 70.]
After putting on the treasure map, Mu Tiantian took it out.
"You want it, right?" Mu Tiantian's voice wasn't loud, but the crowd that had been discussing it just moments before immediately fell silent.
Seven Commanders: [Bu Xiu has also arrived.]
Mu Tiantian looked up and saw a white figure using light-footed skills to rush towards her in the distance.
Seeing that it was almost time, she raised her arm high and shouted, "First come, first served!"
Most of the people dared not make a sound.
Mu Tiantian was accompanied by Bei Mingchuan and Xing Wusong, as well as a large number of disciples from Wushuang Manor who had rushed back from outside.
Crown Prince Tuoba Qing and the Feng siblings are also here; who would dare to make a move?
Bu Xiu also had a solemn expression, gripping a long sword tightly in his hand.
Mu Tiantian had asked him to help find people before, because the world had never been peaceful since the change of dynasties, and there were many refugees.
Wushuang Manor has taken in many refugees.
Mu Tiantian taught them skills such as crafts and martial arts so that they could survive on their own.
Therefore, many people have benefited from Mu Tiantian's kindness.
All the businesses of Wushuang Manor are managed by these people, and Mu Tiantian receives a share of the profits.
Although many people have left the resort to start families and build careers, they can return at any time if the resort needs them.
So Mu Tiantian asked him to help contact these people.
He was naturally willing to help with these things, but there was one more favor she asked of him that he found difficult to accept, yet he couldn't refuse...
