Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 1310 - 778: Again?
Chapter 1310: Chapter 778: Again?
The area of the Four Mansions, adjacent to each other, had already restored its original clear sky curtain.
Back in the Southern Continent, given enough time, even an Ape Demon of the Fifth Grade Taiyi Immortal Realm could destroy three prefecture cities, let alone seven Great Demons that had reached the Six-Six Transformation.
But in this vast Taoist ground, aside from causing intense panic, there were actually no casualties.
The dark cloud summoned by Shen Yi was just a trick to attract attention. Under its shadow, the Southern Emperor and White Deer were able to unleash their full potential.
At this moment, statues of Tai Xu True Monarchs that had been sent in advance were surrounded by the masses in various places, whether they were previously under big trees or among the fields; now, they were voluntarily lifted by the people to the highest point achievable.
A line of figures swept across the horizon.
Taking in these scenes, You Yao placed the back of her hand on her forehead, closed her eyes, and inexplicably felt dizzy.
Everything she had You Miao prepare was now all for others to benefit from instead.
The Tai Xu not only consumed all the Emperor’s Aura from the demon calamity but also planted his work in his own Taoist ground, with no knowing how long it would take to completely eradicate it.
"Reporting to Master Uncle, we just finished making the arrangements and hadn’t started acting yet when a group from Lingxu Cave infiltrated in advance, inciting the public with deceptive words. They were extremely rampant, as if they had precisely timed it. The moment the Great Demon entered the prefecture, the Tai Xu True Monarch appeared, leaving us no time to react at all."
Two disciples knelt on the clouds, replying tremblingly.
Behind You Yao, Lu Tong suddenly stepped forward, lifting these two individuals up with both hands, and angrily shouted, "Where in the world does such a coincidence exist? It must be Yun Miao with hidden malicious intentions, who had pre-arranged matters with Lingxu Cave!"
Hearing this, You Yao opened her eyes, a flashing, undisguised murderous intent sweeping across her narrow eyes.
The two disciples, forced to stand up, though extremely fearful, still tremblingly said, "It should have nothing to do with Senior Yun Miao..."
They swallowed their throats, not daring to hide anything, and truthfully recounted the events that occurred earlier in Zhenning Prefecture.
"..."
Crane Child raised his eyebrows, his expression somewhat complex.
Just from hearing about it, he could feel how humiliating Yun Miao must have been at that time. It’s one thing if the Tai Xu True Monarch had just come from the Southern Continent; even if the person were Yun Miao’s biological father, he wouldn’t pave the way for others at the expense of his own future.
"You mean, he didn’t lift a finger from start to finish, just quietly let it pass?"
Even though Yun Miao’s suspicion was completely cleared, the murderous intent in You Yao’s eyes did not diminish, but rather grew fiercer.
She stepped on the auspicious cloud and charged out again.
The group quickly found the dazed Yun Miao under the mud wall of a village. He leaned wastefully against the wall, and even upon seeing the people from Qingguang Cave, his face remained numb.
Moving quickly forward, You Yao grasped his collar with her long fingers, yanked him up, and slammed him against the mud wall.
"Your entire cultivation and all your magic artifacts were wasted like feeding them to a dog!"
She gritted her teeth, wishing to tear apart this useless person. If only he had been somewhat tough, sparring for a while with that Insect Demon Disciple, she would have had enough time to reach Zhenning Prefecture.
"I... I didn’t have the confidence... to defeat him..." True Master Yun Miao tilted his head, his voice hoarse.
His future was already cut off, his dignity lost, leaving no possibility to continue staying in the North Continent.
"Confidence, confidence, all you know is to calculate these things. From the calamity till now, have you ever done anything respectable? If such perfect opportunities existed, they’d never fall to someone like you!"
Master You Yao disdainfully tossed the Taoist onto the ground: "Blaming others for ending up like this truly makes no sense."
True Master Yun Miao dropped to the ground, the numbness on his face finally faded a bit, he looked blankly at You Yao and suddenly let out a mocking laugh: "Yun Miao became the joke of the North Continent, that’s true, but how are you You Yao any better, what’s the difference between us?"
As he uttered these words, Crane Child’s expression slightly changed, wanting to make him stop talking.
However, You Yao already coldly responded: "Difference? The difference is, anyone who dares to provoke me, even if I lose everything, I will make them pay the price!"
"..."
True Master Yun Miao’s pupils slightly trembled, a bit lost in thought.
You Yao looked down at him: "What do you have left, what do you have to lose? Clearly, you have nothing at all, yet you can only hide in this place, crying like a child, do you think you are worthy to be compared with me?"
These words, like a sword light, completely tore off Yun Miao’s façade.
There was never any caution; no matter how it was phrased, in the end, it was just cowardice.
Once excused as enduring humiliation for a greater cause, now there was no chance, and enduring further, besides not daring, what other reason is there?
"Kill—"
Yun Miao gasped heavily, his features gradually twisted, suddenly letting out a low roar: "Kill him!"
He, a dignified senior disciple of Lingxu Cave, had fallen to the point of being ridiculed by everyone, all because of that Insect Demon Disciple. How could he let the opposite party get away now?
"Shut up!"
Crane Child suddenly kicked Yun Miao over, rolling the Taoist on the ground, covered in dust, yet he didn’t care, eyes fierce, like a beast that had lost its mind.
"You Yao, don’t."
Crane Child had no time to manage this scoundrel; he turned to grasp the arm of the woman in the black skirt and said solemnly: "Although you’re honored as the senior sister, if you keep messing around like this, I can only report it to Immortal Qingguang and let him handle it."
