Liu Lian’er started acting cute in a deliberately annoying way.
And her intentionally annoying cuteness proved that her words were indeed total nonsense.
At the dining table, Xie Liuyun frowned and looked at Liu Lian’er, saying: “Lian’er, what exactly did Shen Yan’s letter to you say?”
“If the Tianyuan Continent really is the lair of the Evil God, Shen Yan couldn’t have failed to tell you about this, right? Why are you hiding it from us?”
Xie Liuyun frowned and interrogated.
Li Muyang’s eyes widened—so Liu Lian’er had also kept the Hehuan Sect in the dark?
This little demoness didn’t tell the Hehuan Sect everything that was instructed in Shen Yan’s letter?
Facing the gaze of the two Great Cultivators, Li Muyang and Xie Liuyun, the seemingly innocent and harmless Liu Lian’er shrank back timidly, her eyes filled with fear.
“Uncle Xie, don’t stare at me like that,” Liu Lian’er began to act coquettishly and continued her annoyingly cute act: “In Ah Yan’s letter, there was indeed no mention of the Evil God’s lair being on the Tianyuan Continent.”
“I’ve only just learned about this matter as well, and I too find it strange that Ah Yan didn’t tell me.”
“How about this—to the next time Ah Yan replies to my letter, I will ask her properly about this matter, okay?”
Liu Lian’er put on an innocent face and shifted all the blame to Shen Yan from the neighboring Tianyuan Continent.
Since Shen Yan was not here, it was equivalent to her being dead—it was a case of no witness, no proof, allowing her to say whatever she wanted.
Unfortunately, it seemed Xie Liuyun wasn’t buying her act.
Facing the girl’s twisting words, Xie Liuyun smiled and shook his head, saying: “You’re not my disciple, I can’t control you, go back and explain to your master.”
After speaking, Xie Liuyun stood up and reached out to grab Liu Lian’er, intending to take her away.
At the same time, he turned to Li Muyang, saying: “Cang Su San, sorry to have amused you. I’ll take this girl back and leave her to her master to deal with.”
“Your intelligence is very important. If you are willing, you can come to the Secluded Valley with me.”
“Of course, you can also stay here and wait. Once there is any news, I will come out and inform you immediately.”
Ghost Mansion Seven Xie Liuyun was already treating Li Muyang as an equal peer.
Although their ages and seniority differed greatly, both of them were Masters of Immortal Artifacts, one in the Heavenly Eternal Realm and the other possessed the combat power of the Heavenly Eternal Realm.
Though young, Li Muyang had already earned the respect of these old monsters.
But after Xie Liuyun’s polite words, the hand he had stretched out froze.
Because the hand he reached out to grab the girl beside him had grasped at nothing.
As the martial partner and master of Liu Lian’er, he never expected that Liu Lian’er, the junior Sect Master, would actually dare to dodge.
As Xie Liuyun reached out to grab Liu Lian’er, she reacted violently by swiftly retreating, directly taking refuge beside Li Muyang.
She grabbed Li Muyang’s arm and urged nervously, “Senior Brother Li, you must take me away quickly! Didn’t you say you would take me with you? We had an agreement! I can’t go back! If I go back, my master will break my legs!”
As soon as Liu Lian’er spoke these words, both Li Muyang and Xie Liuyun were stunned.
Xie Liuyun looked at the young man and woman in shock, his expression as if he’d seen a ghost: “Cang Su San! Are you really here to abduct the junior Sect Master of my Hehuan Sect? When did you two get together?”
Li Muyang, completely bewildered, instinctively wanted to refute: “I didn’t…”
However, Liu Lian’er, huddled beside him, secretively transmitted her voice: “Ascendant! Take me away! I cannot go back! If I’m taken back for a Soul Search, we are both as good as dead!”
It was rumored that within the Hehuan Sect, there was a secret technique for Soul Searching that differed from the commonly seen Soul Searching Technique of the Demon Path, and those who were subjected to the Hehuan Sect’s version wouldn’t turn into idiots.
Clearly, Liu Lian’er was afraid of being taken back for the Soul Search.
And she had just called out Li Muyang’s real identity aloud… Ascendant!
Li Muyang’s heart skipped a beat, and a chilling feeling instantly spread throughout his body.
Now, Ghost Mansion Seven and the rest of the Immortal Artifact Masters are scouring the world in search of the Ascendant’s whereabouts, with the intention of killing the Ascendant.
If they find out Li Muyang is the Ascendant…
Boom!
A tremendous surge of Immortal Spirit Qi, accompanied by the deathly aura of gloomy lifeless beings, thunderously descended upon the teahouse.
Mo Immortal, bearing the Startling Swan Immortal Sword, stepped out from the void behind Li Muyang.
The moment she appeared, the Startling Swan Immortal Sword behind Mo Immortal unsheathed clangorously.
The fierce sword light struck directly at the unsuspecting Xie Liuyun.
Xie Liuyun, who had arrived in haste wielding his sword, was sent flying hundreds of feet away by Mo Immortal’s strike, transforming into a light that soared towards the distance.
“Cang Su San!” The unprepared Xie Liuyun, who was caught off guard and sent flying, cried out this name.
He rapidly retreated through the air, looking utterly disheveled.
His gaze was helpless and exasperated as he watched a man and two women ascend from the teahouse and hastily flee under the protection of Mo Immortal’s Tunneling Light.
Xie Liuyun, holding his forehead said, “Liu Lian’er, that girl, actually eloped with someone? How did she end up with Cang Su San?”
Cang Su San, who was sent flying by that sword strike, eventually crashed into a boulder on the mountainous outskirts of the city, coming to a halt.
Sitting somewhat disheveled amidst the shattered stone, he watched the Tunneling Light fade into the distance from the city, making no move to pursue.
Instead, he stood up resignedly and brushed off the snow from his clothes.
“Ruo Xi really did train a good disciple, who uses all her cunning schemes on her own kind.”
Xie Liuyun, riding his sword light, flew towards the secluded valley of the Hehuan Sect’s mountain gate, shaking his head and saying, “That little demoness who played so many promising young men in her hands on normal days, could she really have fallen for a man genuinely? Bizarre! Truly bizarre!”
“This Cang Su San is indeed strange!”
Xie Liuyun flew towards the Hehuan Sect, intending to inform Sect Master Liu Ruoxi of Liu Lian’er’s elopement.
Meanwhile, far below the sky, Li Muyang and his companions, escorted by Mo Immortal’s Tunneling Light, sped away with extreme velocity.
Soon, they had completely left the mountain gate of the Hehuan Sect, arriving in the mountain forests hundreds of miles away.
Boarding the Flying Boat that was concealed in advance, the three of them embarked and fled towards the distant horizon.
The Third Miss, while steering, took comfort in their narrow escape while simultaneously cursing.
“You two dog men and women, so you were hooking up together all along!”
“What abduction? It turns out to be elopement!”
“You, Mr. Li, indeed never speak a true word!”
The Third Miss was still frightened.
With her cultivation, had she been involved in a battlefield of the Heavenly Eternal Realm, she would have either died or been left crippled.
Now that they had escaped from the dangerous situation, she couldn’t help but burst out cursing.
But this time, after she finished cursing, Li Muyang did not respond by chastising her thoroughly as usual.
Instead, he walked away with Liu Lian’er.
The Third Miss was stunned as she watched the man and woman leave. Li Muyang didn’t scold her, he didn’t even pay her any attention… this left the wild boar demon accustomed to Li Muyang’s verbal lashings feeling confused for a moment.
She felt a strange sense of suffocation, unable to vent the frustration stuck in her chest.
Now, in the cabin of the Flying Boat, Li Muyang, after setting up an enclosing Array, looked at Liu Lian’er with a serious and vigilant stare.
“How do you know I am the Ascendant?”
