Chapter 88: Hun Tiandi's Intention to Kill
🕑 Added 2023-06-07 16:06:43 +0000 UTCThis elder's statement quickly received agreement and nods from many other elders.
"That's right! I saw it too. When Yun Yun, the Sect Master, returned to the sect today, she brought two people with her. Those two people might be powerful individuals with extraordinary identities."
"I also think so."
"... "
More and more people spoke up, acknowledging the elder's words. After all, who could be considered insignificant if personally greeted by Yun Yun, the Sect Master?
The important figures mentioned by Yun Yun might indeed be the two people she brought back, and it was likely that Gu He offended them and was subsequently dealt with.
Their speculations were getting closer to the truth.
As expected, there was only one truth, which anyone with a brain could deduce.
However, there were still some people who remained silent. It wasn't that they insisted on doubting Yun Yun as the culprit; rather, they had heard some rumors and gossip.
At this moment, Grand Elder Yun Ling spoke up, "I admit that what you all said makes sense, and it could be the truth. However, let's not forget about the rumors spreading throughout Misty Cloud Sect."
"One of those two individuals is said to be Yun Yun's lover, a gigolo. As for the other person, we can all see that she is not even a cultivator. What kind of important figures could they be?"
"What kind of strength do they possess to kill Elder Gu He?" In the living room, many people fell into silence again.
The elder who had spoken before spoke up once more, "No way! Grand Elder, you don't really believe those rumors, do you? Yun Yun is an extraordinary and outstanding woman. Does she really need to keep a gigolo?"
"Furthermore, how can we determine that the man she brought back is a gigolo? Just because he is handsome? We can perceive the woman's strength, but we cannot see the man's. Who dares to insist that he is a gigolo and not a true powerful individual, an important figure?"
"So, Grand Elder, please don't blindly follow the crowd. We must use our own eyes to observe. Don't forget that when Elder Gu He perished, he said, 'Rumors have mislead me.' The entire Misty Cloud Sect heard it."
After finishing his words, the elder bowed to Grand Elder Yun Ling and said, "Grand Elder, I have something else to attend to. I'll take my leave." Saying so, he left the living room. People began to leave one after another.
The elders in the living room looked at each other, and in the end, they all bowed to the Grand Elder and took their leave.
What was the truth behind Gu He's fall? They all had a weighing scale in their hearts, knowing how to measure and consider.
Only a few elders remained in the living room. They were all on good terms with the Grand Elder, all his people.
They hoped that the Grand Elder would replace Yun Yun as the Sect Master.
Grand Elder Yun Ling watched the departing figures of the elders with an unpleasant expression on his face.
...
The soul power of Hun Tiandi enveloped the entire Misty Cloud Sect. Every move of the sect was within his sensing range, and naturally, the events in the Grand Elder's mansion didn't escape his perception.
Hun Tiandi murmured in his heart, "This continent is always full of ambitious individuals. It's a pity. His ambition doesn't match his strength at all. Trying to covet greater power without the strength, the end result won't be good."
...
Hun Tiandi looked at Xiao Yi Xian beside him and said, "Xiao Yi Xian."
Xiao Yi Xian turned to Hun Tiandi and asked, "Master, what do you need?"
At the beginning, it felt somewhat strange and inappropriate to address him as "Master," but as time went on, it felt normal. Clearly, Xiao Yi Xian had grown accustomed to it.
It had to be said that Xiao Yi Xian's talent was quite astonishing.
Swish!
Hun Tiandi waved his hand, and a pitch-black storage ring appeared in front of Xiao Yi Xian.
"What is this?" the curious Xiao Yi Xian asked.
Hun Tiandi said, "This storage ring contains the top-grade poisons from the continent. From today onwards, you will cultivate by devouring these poisons. With your innate Woeful Poison Body, you don't need to invest too much in cultivation. Devouring these poisons will enhance your strength."
"If you consume all the poisons in the storage ring, it will be enough to make you a strong individual in a short period of time."
"This...," Xiao Yi Xian hesitated and looked at the floating black storage ring in front of her.
She didn't reach out to take it and looked at Hun Tiandi, saying, "Master, if I cultivate by consuming these poisons, my Woeful Poison Body will accelerate its awakening.”
“When it fully erupts, it will... result in my complete demise, turning into poisonous mist, destroying all life within a thousand miles."
As she reached this point, Xiao Yi Xian didn't continue speaking.
Once her Woeful Poison Body fully awakened, it would erupt completely, resulting in her death. She would turn into toxic mist, annihilating all life within a thousand miles.
Without finishing her sentence, Hun Tiandi interjected, "So, if it fully erupts, you will die, right?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yi Xian nodded.
She didn't want to die. The reason she chose to follow Hun Tiandi was that he promised to suppress her Woeful Poison Body and provide her with a home. That's why she chose to follow him.
Now he wants her to consume the poisons and cultivate, isn't that wanting her Woeful Poison Body to fully awaken?
It's different from what she had imagined before. The promise of suppressing her Woeful Poison Body didn't mean fully awakening it.
Swish!
Hun Tiandi appeared in front of Xiao Yi Xian, lifting her snow-white chin with his hand. Their eyes met, and Hun Tiandi spoke, "Woman, with me here, what are you afraid of?"
"With me here, you can't even die if you want to."
“These poisons, you can confidently consume and refine them. Your Woeful Poison Body won't take your life."
After finishing speaking, Hun Tiandi released Xiao Yi Xian's chin and disappeared from the living room.
After Hun Tiandi had left for a long time, Xiao Yi Xian finally regained her senses. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her face was rosy like a red apple.
It made people unable to resist the urge to take a bite.
Xiao Yi Xian murmured, "Why is this guy so domineering?"
She reached out and grabbed the storage ring left behind by Hun Tiandi, tightly holding it in her hands, and gradually placed it in the middle of her relatively small chest, feeling a bit shy.
...
Hun Tiandi left Misty Cloud Sect and arrived in front of a mansion in the city of Jia Ma.
The mansion was spacious.
Above the plaque of the mansion's gate were three shining golden characters: Nalan Mansion.
There was only one Nalan Mansion in the city of Jia Ma.
It was the mansion of Nalan Jie, the Grand Marshal of the Jia Ma Empire, and also the mansion where Nalan Yanran, the mastermind behind the destruction of the Soul Clan, resided.
The reason why Hun Tiandi appeared in front of the Nalan Mansion was self-evident—to kill someone.
With his power, even with just a trace of his soul power in Misty Cloud Sect, a single thought could annihilate the entire Nalan Mansion.
However, to show respect for that person, Hun Tiandi personally appeared.
