However, faced with this explanation, Shen Yunhao did not object immediately. Instead, he scratched his head in a pretentious manner and put on a puzzled expression.
"The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect? A lover?"
After thinking for a moment, it suddenly dawned on him, "Senior, could you be referring to the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Poisons? Now that you mention it, I remember! She was indeed a little pet that I casually adopted many years ago on a whim! I never imagined that after so many years, she would have become the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect? Time really flies, it makes me quite emotional..."
Daoist Qianhe: "..."
Mu Shuangshuang: "..."
Everyone: "..."
A flock of invisible crows seemed to be cawing overhead over the entire Wanren City.
I had some doubts about what Daoist Qianhe said before, but now that I heard this, my head is spinning. You brat... will you die if you don't brag?!
...
Meanwhile, outside Wanren City.
Seeing this, Mu Shuangshuang froze for a moment, her pretty face turning pale and then red, before she stomped her foot angrily, her head practically steaming with rage, her eyes blazing with fury.
"Aaaaaah! That bastard! Don't stop me, I'm going in to fight him! It's either him or me today! It's either him or me!"
After saying that, her spiritual energy surged, and she actually took flight, about to rush towards Wanren City...
However, after flying a few steps, Mu Shuangshuang subconsciously turned around and found Mu Qingqing standing there leisurely, even pulling out a bag of sunflower seeds from somewhere and happily cracking them open, showing no intention of stopping her at all.
Mu Shuangshuang was completely dumbfounded, frozen in mid-air: "I...am I your biological daughter? You're really not going to stop me?"
Mu Qingqing slowly spat out a sunflower seed shell, then raised her charming eyes and glanced at her.
"Why are you stopping me? I've been annoyed with this kid for ages! Go and switch with him now, so he won't go around saying you're his pet and embarrass me..."
Mu Shuangshuang: "..."
The girl hesitated in mid-air for a long time, and finally could only angrily wave her little fists and grit her teeth to curse:
"Damn it! He really fooled me today! I'm so angry!!!"
After venting his anger, he flew back dejectedly, snatched the melon seeds from Mu Qingqing's hand, and began to crack them open viciously.
Looking at her daughter's expression, Mu Qingqing's eyes flashed with a mischievous smile. She shook her head, her gaze returning to the distant Wanren City, and muttered to herself, "This kid... his ability to cause trouble is first-rate, and his ability to cover up his lies is even more amazing..."
...
Back above Wanren City, the atmosphere remained delicate.
Shen Yunhao knew that although Meng Qidong had been exposed, he was already dead. There was no direct evidence to definitively prove the relationship between Daoist Qianhe and the Blood Sect. It would be too far-fetched to force the claim that Meng Qidong's demonic vines were obtained from Daoist Qianhe.
Moreover... if we push too hard, and the other party really does everything they can to find Mu Shuangshuang in the city, it will only push the situation to a more uncontrollable point.
Therefore, he stopped insisting on accusing Daoist Qianhe and instead said in a slightly teasing tone, "Senior Qianhe, if you don't have other evidence to prove that my sister killed someone, I think you should head to Baihe Temple as soon as possible to handle the aftermath. Now that the abbot has died suddenly, the temple is bound to be in chaos. I'm afraid you'll need to thoroughly investigate and clear up any remaining culprits..."
"snort!"
Daoist Qianhe snorted coldly, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. "No need for you to worry! The moment this incident occurred, the enforcement elders of my Taixuan Dao Sect led a team to Baihe Temple to take over and handle the aftermath. There's no need for an outsider like you to remind me!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at Shen Yunhao and turned to leave the formation through a crack opened by Ouyang Jingfeng.
However, he did not choose to return to Tai Xuan Dao Sect immediately. Instead, he hovered in mid-air, watching coldly, as if to see how Ouyang Jingfeng would ultimately deal with Shen Yunhao and Mo Yan.
Inside the formation, Shen Yunhao lowered his head and saw Mo Yan staring at the departing figure of Daoist Qianhe, her purple eyes flashing with a complex and unfathomable light.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed the girl's head, secretly transmitting his voice: "Don't worry... there will always be opportunities in the future."
However, Mo Yan shrugged, shook off his hand, snorted, and turned her head away, leaving him with only the back of her head.
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, and after figuring it out, he couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Is this girl angry and dissatisfied because she saw that the biggest crisis had been temporarily averted and started to settle scores afterward, and she was upset about his spanking earlier?
But it's not completely safe right now.
This is ultimately the territory of the Azure Sky Sword Pavilion. He and Mo Yan are still under the suppression of the Myriad Swords Returning to Flow Formation, and the final decision-making power is still firmly in Ouyang Jingfeng's hands.
Shen Yunhao took a deep breath, stood up, and his gaze swept over the various powerful figures present, their expressions differing, before finally settling on Ouyang Jingfeng. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said loudly:
"Sect Leader Ouyang, now that the truth is mostly clear, I wonder if you still believe that my sister killed those fellow cultivators?"
Ouyang Jingfeng's expression was complex. After a moment of contemplation, he did not answer directly, but turned to look at the high-ranking members of each sect and asked in a deep voice:
"Today, representatives from the seven righteous sects are all here. Fellow Daoists, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
The first to speak was once again the mysterious woman in black robes from the Misty Pavilion. She chuckled softly, her voice still carrying a hint of languor:
"Hehe, Pavilion Master Ouyang, since we made a prior agreement, and this demonic vine has indeed not harmed the interests of our Misty Pavilion, we will naturally adhere to our consistent principle and not meddle in other people's business. Pavilion Master Ouyang, please make the decision on this matter!"
Her words were extremely clever; she neither said that Mo Yan had to be released nor that she had to be severely punished, thus subtly passing the decision-making power back to Ouyang Jingfeng.
Immediately afterwards, the woman in black robes abruptly changed the subject, her gaze beneath the hood seemingly mocking as she looked at Shen Yunhao within the formation and asked a "fatal" question that sent chills down Shen Yunhao's spine:
"Little one, I'm quite curious about another question—what exactly is your relationship with our Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Mu Shuangshuang?"
Shen Yunhao was startled upon hearing this, and forced a dry laugh: "Senior is too kind! I am merely a junior cultivator who has just come out to see the world. How could I possibly be worthy of knowing such an important figure as the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect? I only hope... that if Her Highness the Holy Maiden hears my ramblings, she will not take them too seriously..."
Outside the city, Mu Shuangshuang, who was viciously munching on sunflower seeds, was speechless.
"You stinking husband! Just you wait!!!"
The woman in black robes breathed a sigh of relief. "That's excellent... Otherwise, besides the existing Junior Nephew Ning and that Little White Dragon Seventh Princess, if we add Mu Shuangshuang to the mix, wouldn't the Absolute Colors chart founded by my Misty Pavilion become your family tree, little fellow..."
Shen Yunhao: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Mo Yan couldn't help but turn her head and snort sourly, "You're right...tch...men are all big pigs!"
