Seeing the situation unfold, Tang Yaoyao thought that mentioning her Master’s name would scare this Female Demon Head. So she quickly added,
“My Master is the greatest genius of the Eternal Immortal Sect, Luo Qingwu! The most powerful Immortal Emperor known in the North Cold Immortal Domain!”
“Do you even think about the consequences of wanting to kill me?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Chunlian’s expression changed. The hand gripping her neck tightened even more out of nervousness, “Is that true?”
“You… can you just let me down first…” Tang Yaoyao’s face was turning the color of liver from being choked.
“Hmph, as if you’d dare pull any tricks!” Xu Chunlian scoffed, loosening her grip while keeping her gaze snapped on her.
“Cough, cough,” Tang Yaoyao patted her chest, finally feeling a bit better. She then pulled out a uniquely ancient token.
This not only proved her affiliation to the Eternal Immortal Sect but also confirmed that she was the one and only direct disciple of Luo Qingwu.
In the sect, seeing this token was like seeing her Master!
Xu Chunlian, being observant herself, stared at the token for quite a while, mumbling, “So it really is…”
Tang Yaoyao let out a sigh of relief and put the token away, “Alright, if that’s the case, I’m leaving now. You all take care!”
At that moment, her heart felt unburdened, as though she had walked a tightrope right on the edge of life and death. However, her feelings for Luo Qingwu became increasingly complicated.
On one hand, she was grateful for escaping with her life thanks to her Master, but on the other hand, she felt a pang of sadness. After all, her Master was sleeping with the person she had feelings for.
But all in all, her ability to turn danger into safety and escape from the Heart-Eating Twin Ghosts was largely thanks to her Master’s reputation.
One couldn’t deny that having a powerful Master while out in the world made her much safer!
With a heavy heart, Tang Yaoyao was ready to leave this place of turmoil.
Suddenly,
Xu Chunlian’s voice rang out behind her, filled with disbelief, “Did I say I would let you go?”
“Huh?”
Tang Yaoyao froze, and before she could react, Xu Chunlian’s figure appeared again in front of her.
With a cold grin, Xu Chunlian slapped her hand out.
Slap!
The crisp sound of the slap echoed.
Tang Yaoyao was sent flying, half her face nearly deformed, blood gushing from the corner of her mouth.
She landed heavily on the ground, her mind blank.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I supposed to do?
At that moment, Tang Yaoyao was genuinely bewildered.
Was it wrong to mention her Master’s name?
Why didn’t anyone say that earlier!
Learning the reason, regret flooded Tang Yaoyao’s heart. She thought dropping her Master’s name would pull her back from the brink, unaware that what awaited her was an even more grim fate!
“If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have said anything. Now I’m not just going to die; I’m going to die a terrible death. Wuwu, why am I so unlucky…”
After all those shocks, Tang Yaoyao finally couldn’t keep the breakdown at bay, tears streaming down her face.
Master, being your disciple is something I truly can’t handle!
“Madam, after we kill her, we need to wipe the scene clean. After all, even if she is a thorn in our side, she’s still Luo Qingwu’s disciple.” Zhou Dalang said in a deep voice.
Truthfully, his instinct was to avoid involvement once he learned Tang Yaoyao was Luo Qingwu’s disciple, but since his partner insisted, he had to go along with her will.
“Do I need you to tell me that? I’m not stupid!”
Xu Chunlian rolled her eyes.
Then, with a sinister grin, she approached Tang Yaoyao slowly, “Let me see where to start. You do have a rather pretty face, so let’s start by peeling off your skin!”
As she spoke, she reached out her hand, ready to tear Tang Yaoyao’s delicate face apart.
Suddenly,
A playful male voice echoed from above.
“Yo, this is quite the lively scene.”
Whoosh, a man dressed in a black and white outfit, handsome and donning a jade crown, landed with his hands behind his back.
His gaze first settled on Tang Yaoyao, then swept over the bizarre couple, his lips curling into a cryptic smile.
“Madam, be careful!”
Zhou Dalang instinctively shielded Xu Chunlian, his expression wary.
Because this uninvited guest gave him an overwhelming sense of power. When it came to one-on-one combat, neither of them stood a chance against him.
“Who are you?!”
Xu Chunlian also sensed his strength and immediately shouted.
“I am Lu Tianming from the Void Truth View.” He chuckled coldly.
“What? You’re Lu from the Void Truth View!” Zhou Dalang was startled and quickly looked around to see if there were any strong members of the Void Truth View surrounding them.
After all, the Void Truth View was a top power in the Azure Sky Domain, and the founder was known as the strongest Immortal Sovereign in the Azure Sky Domain. Not everyone could bring this kind of pressure.
Realizing Lu Tianming had personally arrived made him think that the Void Truth View was going after the Heart-Eating Twin Ghosts.
“So you’re the Lu.”
Seeing this, Xu Chunlian looked at the man in surprise, her mind racing to the recent buzz surrounding him, a hint of intrigue appearing at the corners of her lips.
Rumor has it, he’s short and small!
What a pathetic guy!
But little did she know, she would soon regret her thoughts…
