Outside Wanren City, Mu Shuangshuang looked at the shocking and bizarre scene in the distant sky, and felt an indescribable sense of guilt and helplessness.
She considered herself to be the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, of noble status and with many methods, and should have been able to provide the greatest assistance to Shen Yunhao in many matters.
Unexpectedly, today's events have become the direct cause of pushing Shen Yunhao to the edge of this precipice...
"No!" Mu Shuangshuang gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes. "I'm going into the city! To help him!"
After saying that, he made a hand seal and actually tried to fly up.
Upon seeing this, Youying's expression changed drastically, and she quickly stepped in to stop her, "Miss! Going in now is tantamount to walking into a trap! It's almost certain death!"
However, faced with Youying's obstruction, Mu Shuangshuang felt extremely angry. She directly slapped him away with her palm, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent: "How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, where would this situation be?"
The palm strike caused Youying's blood to surge. She lowered her head, concealing the turmoil in her eyes, but her tone was extremely earnest: "Given the current situation, the Blood Sect has clearly come prepared. Their core objective is this Dark Abyss Demon Vine, and they are about to succeed... If, at this critical juncture, the Myriad Poisons Sect were to clash head-on with the righteous path, the Blood Sect would be the only one to benefit in the end! I urge you, Miss, to reconsider your actions!"
"Shut up!" Mu Shuangshuang was furious and wouldn't listen to anything. "I'll go alone! You don't need to come along and die!"
As soon as she took to the air again, a strange force appeared out of nowhere, like an invisible net, and gently stopped her.
Mu Shuangshuang was startled, sensing that familiar aura. Instead of panicking, her face lit up with joy: "Mother!"
The space around her rippled slightly, and a beautiful woman dressed in a black gauze dress, with a graceful and alluring figure, and a face that was naturally charming yet carried a hint of sinister majesty, quietly appeared.
The woman's eyes sparkled with an irresistible allure; she was none other than Mu Qingqing, the Hall Master of the Scorpion Hall of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and the birth mother of Mu Shuangshuang.
After Mu Qingqing appeared, she glared at her daughter with annoyance, her voice sweet and seductive, "You really want to go up there and get yourself killed? Have you lost your mind because of dating?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang pouted and said, "But Mother, this whole thing started because of me. I can't just stand by and watch him..."
Mu Qingqing raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on her face, "Then let me ask you, if you go up now, can you help him repel Ouyang Jingfeng, or can you break the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Flow Formation?"
“I…” Mu Shuangshuang was speechless.
Mu Qingqing shook her head, her tone becoming more serious: "Colluding with the Demonic Vine might be debatable to some extent, but if it's confirmed that he's colluding with the Demonic Sect, then the nature of the matter is completely different! Thanks to the relationship between the Guanghan Palace and the North Sea Dragon Palace, this kid might still have a sliver of hope, but if you really go, both of you will face certain death!"
Mu Shuangshuang bit her lip, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes: "Not necessarily! If they really dare to touch my husband, I will... I will poison all the mortal cities nearby! I don't believe that these hypocrites who call themselves righteous would dare to ignore the lives of ordinary people!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingqing laughed in anger, "You're getting more and more outrageous! What's going on in your head all day? Do you think the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is something your mother can control all by herself? Even if I were to risk everything and ruin the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect for you, what would you use to contend with the Seven Righteous Sects?"
After saying that, she sighed again, "I sent you to get close to this kid in the first place so that I could trick you into getting my hands on this demonic vine by his side. Now look what happened, we lost both our daughter and our army. We've really lost everything!"
Mu Shuangshuang lowered her head after being scolded and finally stopped talking, but her face was still full of resentment.
Seeing her like this, Mu Qingqing's tone finally softened a little: "Don't worry, that old Dragon King is known for protecting his own. This kid has the Heart of the Vast Ocean on him, so the North Sea won't ignore him. Protecting his life should be no problem, but from now on... I'm afraid he won't be able to stay on the righteous path."
As she spoke, her gaze returned to the Myriad Swords Returning to Flow Formation in the distance. Looking at the purple figure imprisoned by the lightsabers, a hint of interest flashed in her alluring eyes. She licked her red lips and murmured to herself.
"Tsk tsk tsk... I'm really eyeing the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, which is at the half-step Void Realm... If only I could get my hands on it..."
...
Above Wanren City, within the formation.
After venting his lingering fear and anger, Shen Yunhao looked at Mo Yan, who was lying on his lap no longer struggling, with her ears bright red and her body trembling slightly, and fell into silence.
At first, the girl was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but after hearing his roar, the shame and indignation in her heart were gradually replaced by a bittersweet warmth and guilt.
Ultimately, today's disaster was caused by her outburst of rage; she dragged him down with her... Letting him vent is fine, perhaps... there will never be another chance after today...
Shen Yunhao gently set her down, stood up, straightened his robes, and once again faced the various powerful figures outside the formation with differing expressions. He clasped his hands and said loudly, "Esteemed seniors, I will now truthfully answer all questions regarding my younger sister, Mo Yan, without any falsehoods. If you still do not believe in my relationship with her, you may..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ouyang Jingfeng waved his hand to interrupt him.
The Sword Pavilion Master couldn't help but rub his temples; the scene he had just witnessed was so impactful that he was still somewhat reeling from it.
"Alright, alright, that's enough!" Ouyang Jingfeng's tone was tinged with helplessness. "We already believe you! You don't need to keep repeating it..."
You're kidding! That's a being at the half-step Tai Xu realm!
How many Taixu are there in the entire Tianji Continent? If you pinned one of them down on the spot and spanked him until he didn't dare to fight back or say a word... does that relationship even need proof?
What you did today is truly unprecedented and likely to remain so.
"..."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yunhao took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over all the righteous leaders, including Ouyang Jingfeng, Nie Qingshuang, Murong Xi, and Qiu Hanmo, before finally speaking in a deep voice:
"Esteemed seniors, before answering your questions, I also have a question I would like to ask you!"
Ouyang Jingfeng nodded: "Please speak freely."
Shen Yunhao looked at Mo Yan behind him, who was bowing her head, pursing her lips, and remaining silent. His voice was clear and heavy:
"I would like to ask you seniors... my younger sister, Mo Yan, since she was born into this world, is her very existence... truly a mistake that must be erased?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere, which had been somewhat strange due to the earlier farce, instantly became tense.
All the senior executives looked serious... This question was too big and too sensitive.
It concerns not only the distinction between good and evil, and the principles of heaven and human relations, but also the beliefs and principles that the "right path" has always upheld.
