Chapter 676: Chapter 666: Assault on the Xuantian Sect!
"Master!"
Su Miaoyin quickly stood up.
Her beautiful eyes swept over Chu Lisu, trying to discern something from her.
Chu Lisu felt a bit unnatural under her gaze, and suddenly felt a bit nervous.
Could it be that this girl has discovered something?
She felt Su Miaoyin also had a favorable impression towards Chen Xiao, her behavior...
Does it count as competing with her disciple for a man?
This intense sense of betrayal made her feel both ashamed and indescribable.
However, she initially didn’t know Chen Xiao’s physique was so special, it was just that she didn’t want Su Miaoyin’s Qingyuan Jade Girl Skill to be ruined, which led her to make such a decision.
Now, having discovered Chen Xiao’s secret, doesn’t she have no reason to obstruct Su Miaoyin anymore? No, then she and Su Miaoyin would have to...
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic her heart became.
"Master, what’s wrong?"
Seeing her dazed expression, Su Miaoyin rushed to ask worriedly, Miaoqu Palace had encountered such a calamity, Chu Lisu could not avoid being hit, she feared Chu Lisu might lose her mind.
"Master, though Miaoqu Palace suffered heavy losses, we still have the green hills, unafraid of lacking firewood, please don’t blame yourself too much, you’ve done your best."
Chu Lisu came back to her senses and nodded slightly.
Speaking of Miaoqu Palace’s situation, her expression became serious again.
Now, with the Wushen Sect suffering a great loss at Miaoqu Palace, even having two Shuras exterminated, they definitely won’t let it go!
This time, with Chen Xiao helping them resolve the crisis, but what about next time?
If the Wushen Sect is determined and relentless, insisting on taking Miaoqu Palace, what should they do?
Thinking of this, Chu Lisu frowned slightly, "It seems, Miaoqu Palace also needs to find a place of refuge, the Wushen Sect’s power is too strong, and a direct confrontation would make us absolutely no match for them."
"Even Xuantian Sect might find it difficult to withstand them with their own power. Likely, various forces in the Outer Domain have to unite again to oppose the Wushen Sect this time."
"Seeking refuge?" Su Miaoyin knitted her brows, "Who can protect us?"
Miaoqu Palace is originally special, these female disciples are all of exquisite beauty. Although other forces appear upright on the surface, they wouldn’t act excessively, but in reality, they’re similar to the likes of Wushen Sect and the Kao Shan Sect, all coveting their beauty!
Now, the only ones with the strength to fend off the Wushen Sect’s attack are the Three Ancient Royal Families and the Xuantian Sect.
The Three Ancient Royal Families rule over vast territories, forming a massive nation with a strict hierarchy, including the royal family, nobles, various Martial Dao families, and more.
If they seek protection from the Ancient Dynasty, most of Miaoqu Palace’s female disciples would unavoidably become mere playthings.
Thus, the only possible refuge is the Xuantian Sect.
The Xuantian Sect, head of the Eight Sects, is still considered a refreshing stream, if we must find a guardian, it’s the only choice.
Thinking of this, Su Miaoyin felt troubled, "Master, the Three Ancient Royal Families are unreliable, our only refuge is the Xuantian Sect. But previously in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, I offended the Xuantian Sect, and I don’t know if they’d be willing to accept us."
Chu Lisu also felt distressed, "The circumstances are pressing, we have no other choice."
"However, Young Master Chen has a good relationship with the Xuantian Sect, perhaps he can help us plead our case. He came to take the Snow Spirit Holy Spring to irrigate the White Jade Snow Ganoderma within Xuantian Sect."
Su Miaoyin was secretly startled, how could her master know Chen Xiao better than she does?
Even though they met for the first time yesterday!
Even if they had a brief conversation last night, they shouldn’t have talked much.
Why does Master know so much about Chen Xiao?
"It’s true, Young Master Chen is upright and broad-minded, I believe he will be willing to help us, I’ll find an opportunity to persuade him later."
Su Miaoyin thought quietly.
Why is Master so confident that Chen Xiao will help? Their relationship should not be that deep yet, right?
At that moment, her eyes fell on Chu Lisu’s jade neck, under the palace dress there seemed to be a faint redden mark, she had seen such a mark on some Miaoqu Palace disciples.
It’s the kind of mark that appears only after being intimate with a man.
But when she looked again, that faint reddish mark was already hidden under the palace dress.
Could she have seen it wrong?
When Chu Lisu found Chen Xiao again, he was studying the Snow Spirit Holy Spring in his hand.
Upon seeing Chu Lisu come in, he smiled slightly, "Lisu, why are you back again?"
Chu Lisu’s beautiful eyes bore a pathetic charm, "Miaoqu Palace is facing a crisis now, and the Wushen Sect surely won’t let us off, I want to take the Miaoqu Palace disciples to the Xuantian Sect to seek refuge."
"The disciples of Miaoqu Palace are innocent, if they fall into the hands of the Wushen Sect, their fate will certainly be tragic. Husband, please help us."
Her lotus-like arms shook Chen Xiao’s arm, her charming demeanor making Chen Xiao’s heart flutter.
He teased, "Then you will owe me a favor again."
"I am already yours, is it not your decision upon what gains you want from me? How about it? Not satisfied yet after last night and this morning?"
Chu Lisu’s face was filled with a teasing sulk, her eyes like autumn waves.
She lowered her voice, "You’re too formidable, I really can barely handle it, reward, shall I compensate you next time?"
Chen Xiao’s lips curled up, saying, "I’ll come up with a reason to let Xuantian Sect accept all of you. Let the Miaoqu Palace disciples prepare; we are all heading to Xuantian Sect."
"Husband, you’ve agreed?" Chu Lisu exclaimed with delight.
"You’ve already asked; how could I refuse?" Chen Xiao nodded, tapping her nose with indulgence, "Besides, I don’t feel at ease leaving you here alone!"
Chu Lisu planted a kiss on his cheek, her face full of joy.
Ever since she consummated her marriage with Chen Xiao, she felt less burdened than before; she could act like a little girl in front of him, rather than the mighty Palace Master of Miaoqu Palace.
After being strong on her own for thirty years, she now had someone she could rely on.
"Alright, go make the arrangements." Chen Xiao patted her lightly.
Chu Lisu gave a charming laugh, leaning in to whisper softly to him, "Leave the door open tonight!"
Leaving Chen Xiao’s room, Chu Lisu immediately ordered all the Miaoqu Palace disciples to gather, announcing to them the plan to head to Xuantian Sect.
The female disciples, upon hearing this, didn’t hesitate and swiftly sprang into action.
In just one day, they had everything prepared and were ready to set off.
Chen Xiao looked at the now empty shell of Miaoqu Palace, marveling at their speed.
"Since everyone is ready, let’s depart immediately."
He wasn’t one to procrastinate; decisively, he led the members of Miaoqu Palace away.
They marched grandiosely toward Xuantian Sect.
Several hours after they had left,
a black silhouette appeared above Miaoqu Palace, standing in mid-air.
"These guys have already left? How swift their actions are!"
"I can’t let this slide; our recent operations have repeatedly failed. It seems I need to report this to the Sect Leader!"
After saying this, the black silhouette vanished from where it stood, heading into the distance.
——
Wushen Sect, headquarters.
In a space shrouded in black mist, a lean figure sat cross-legged in the void, eyes closed, exuding a chilling aura.
This man was the current Sect Leader of Wushen Sect.
Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes, "Meiying, what news have you brought back this time?"
"Sect Leader, I have some urgent matters to report to you."
Then, he relayed everything he had seen and heard to the Wushen Sect Leader.
This included the significant losses suffered by Wushen Sect outside the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
This included the infiltration of White Emperor City, resulting in Bai Langfeng being slain and the Jade-faced Shura retreating.
This included the incursion into Miaoqu Palace, leading to a total annihilation.
Upon hearing these reports, a terrifying murderous aura erupted from the Wushen Sect Leader!
"Just one Miaoqu Palace, one of the Lower Four Sects, could cause both the Fifth and Sixth Shura to fall there? A bunch of useless fools! They can’t even handle Miaoqu Palace!"
"If such a minor force causes trouble for us Wushen Sect, how can we achieve our ambition to dominate the world?"
Meiying quickly bowed, "Earlier, I heard that the Fifth Shura and Sixth Shura had successfully infiltrated Miaoqu Palace and, along with Kao Shan Sect, controlled the entire Miaoqu Palace."
"It’s been just a day since, and I don’t understand how such a drastic change could occur!"
"I suspect... someone interfered in the shadows."
Hearing this, the Wushen Sect Leader coldly chuckled, "It seems these small fry are planning to gang up against us, but no matter; even if they join forces, they can’t make waves!"
"If they join together, it actually saves me some effort; I can eliminate them all at once."
Upon hearing this, Meiying spoke, "According to the reports from our scouts, the entire group of Miaoqu Palace disciples has left, preparing to seek refuge with Xuantian Sect..."
"Sect Leader, I suspect the ones helping Miaoqu Palace are from Xuantian Sect."
The Wushen Sect Leader snorted coldly, "The forces of Xuantian Sect are hardly comparable even to the Three Ancient Royal Families; do they wish to contend with us Wushen Sect? They must be tired of living!"
"I originally thought about letting Xuantian Sect struggle a bit longer, but now it seems unnecessary."
The Wushen Sect Leader’s sinister face revealed a hint of bloodthirsty brutality.
"Prepare the forces to take down Xuantian Sect!"
"Also, summon the Moon Venerable!"
"Yes." Meiying bowed, and then, with a flash, they disappeared from the Wushen Sect Leader’s sight.
Soon, a seductive figure swayed forward, "Sect Leader, you called for me?"
"Moon Venerate," the Wushen Sect Leader said mildly, "I entrust you with the mission to attack Xuantian Sect, and capture the lad with the Xuanming Fruit, and retrieve the Xuanming Fruit!"
"The Xuanming Fruit is something those adults desire; we cannot let this lad take it away."
"Understood!" Moon Venerable’s cold voice responded.
"Go prepare," the Wushen Sect Leader waved a hand.
