CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 248: EVERYONE SNEAKS AWAY

Yue Zhilan couldn’t help feeling resentful as she blurted out, "Senior Mo has already chosen me, are you trying to snatch me away by force? Just because you’re stronger, does that really mean you can do whatever you want? Does the Cultivation World have no laws at all?"

Shi Nian’s eyebrows raised slightly, and before she could speak, Old Mo sternly rebuked, "You, a mere mortal girl, what nonsense are you spouting! Someone like you, who doesn’t even possess a Spirit Root, worthy of my assistance? I have already made arrangements with Miss Mu, from now on, I shall only heed her commands. As for you, go back to where you came from."

A flash of shock crossed Yue Zhilan’s eyes, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

Is this...

Rejection?

So what if I’m a mortal?

Can’t mortals become immortals?

Yue Zhilan clenched her teeth tightly.

This Old Mo, she remembered him.

With such opportunistic eyes, she would definitely make him pay the price.

With gritted teeth, Yue Zhilan’s sense of injustice continued to swell as she glared at Shi Nian, "Nanfeng is like this, Old Mo is like this too, snatching things from others, do you find it particularly amusing?"

Snatching things from others?

Shi Nian nearly laughed aloud.

She indeed let out a slight smile.

"Yue Zhilan," Shi Nian said with a light chuckle, "Be it Li Nanfeng or Old Mo, what do you think is on them that’s worth my taking?"

"Then you..." Yue Zhilan was still not convinced and wanted to say something.

The next moment.

Her eyes locked on Shi Nian, with nothing left but fear.

She saw Shi Nian, with an expressionless face, grasping Old Mo in the palm of her hand and then slightly exerting force.

Old Mo, who had been so arrogant before her, didn’t even let out a scream; he was thoroughly obliterated from the world on the spot!

Yue Zhilan watched this sudden change with her mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.

This old monster, Old Mo, who had lived for thousands of years... was just exterminated like that?

A faint smile lingered on the corners of Shi Nian’s lips as she approached Yue Zhilan step by step.

Yue Zhilan’s voice shattered with terror, "What... what do you want to do?"

Shi Nian chuckled lightly: "Yue Zhilan, I just want you to understand that which you can’t even beg for can be easily destroyed by me. The difference between us is like that between clouds and mud. Do you understand?"

Yue Zhilan’s face twisted.

She was resentful.

She was angry.

But after witnessing Shi Nian’s ruthlessness, Yue Zhilan did not dare to retort a single word.

"Today I will not kill you." Shi Nian looked at her with amused interest, "You are but a mere mortal, aren’t you trying to defy the heavens to achieve greatness? Go on then, I want to see whether this piece of rotten mud can pick itself up."

Shi Nian’s words were filled with mockery.

Yue Zhilan glared at her with rage-filled eyes.

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow: "What? Would you prefer I kill you with a single slap rather than live a life of cowardice?"

Yue Zhilan shuddered and dared not hesitate any longer.

She rolled and scrambled away, heading down the mountain.

Shi Nian watched from behind without any intention of stopping her.

These words she had just said were all nonsense.

If she could kill Yue Zhilan with a slap, she would have done it on the spot.

Unfortunately, the main character’s fortune still lingered; she needed to wait for the fortune to dissipate completely before she could eliminate this main character.

"Little Tong, keep track of her whereabouts," Shi Nian instructed.

"Understood. Ten top-grade Spirit Crystals," Little Tong stretched out his hand.

"Take them yourself," Shi Nian said indifferently.

Now that Li Nanfeng is dead, the only choice left for Yue Zhilan is the Yin Yang Demon Venerable.

This Yin Yang Demon Venerable, according to her previous prophecy, has obediently gone into hiding in the Human Clan’s city.

I believe the two of them, one human and one demon, will be able to meet each other very soon.

And by then, we can bring this first book to a complete end.

This is the world within the book created by the eldest apprentice sister, so let’s let her personally bring things to a conclusion.

The next day.

Shi Nian made a special trip to find Mu Nanqing.

She made a suggestion.

"Eldest apprentice sister, you haven’t returned to the Mu Family for quite a few years now. With the teleportation function of the baldy, commuting is convenient. Why not take a trip back to the Mu Family and see how things are?"

When Shi Nian suddenly mentioned the Mu Family, Mu Nanqing was startled for a moment, and then said: "Little Nian, the baldy’s teleportation function is precious; you should use it for more worthy purposes. We’ve always been in touch with the Mu Family. Besides, with the All-Worlds Communication, staying in contact has become even more convenient."

"Eldest apprentice sister." Shi Nian acted coquettishly: "I’ve heard that Luoxia City where the Mu Family is located is incredibly beautiful. Why not take me there for a visit?"

Mu Nanqing flicked Shi Nian’s nose affectionately: "So you wanted to go for fun. Alright, then the elder sister will take you for a trip to Luoxia City. Indeed, the sunset clouds in Luoxia City are second to none."

"You’re the best, apprentice sister," Shi Nian said with a sweet smile.

Mu Nanqing just gently patted Shi Nian’s head.

Inside, she felt a little heartache.

She felt that something must have happened between Shi Nian and the little uncle last night.

With the little uncle leaving like that, Little Nian’s heart must be suffering, and that’s why she wanted to go out for a distraction.

Since that was the case, as the eldest apprentice sister, it was naturally her duty to cheer up Shi Nian again.

Shi Nian and Mu Nanqing had just finished their discussion.

Suddenly. A majestic voice echoed from the sky.

Several Supreme Elders of the Divine Martial Sect emerged from seclusion, intending to summon all disciples for a grand sect assembly.

"What big event has happened?" Mu Nanqing was also surprised.

"Eldest apprentice sister, you go ahead," Shi Nian said.

She, along with Yun Jian and Lin Tiantian, theoretically should not be part of the Divine Martial Sect, so they didn’t plan to show themselves.

Ling Tian Sword Master took Mu Nanqing and Lu Xingzhi to the grand assembly of the sect.

When they all returned, Ling Tian Sword Master had a worried and bitter look on his face.

"What happened??" Yun Jian asked Lu Xingzhi quietly.

Lu Xingzhi lowered his voice: "The Supreme Elders have handed the Teaching Authority staff over to the Master."

Yun Jian: "??"

Isn’t that a good thing?

Why does Sect Leader’s face look so grave.

"Being the Sect Leader, to hell with being a Sect Leader." Ling Tian Sword Master said irritably as he tossed the staff aside: "I still need to go find Ruoshui! With this staff in hand, would I even be able to leave?"

It turns out it was all for his wife.

Everyone understood at once.

Shi Nian started to come up with mischievous plans: "Master, isn’t this simple? Just appoint an acting Sect Leader. Throw the staff into their room and then run for it. Could that person possibly come after you to beat you up?"

Mu Nanqing was more sensible; she instinctively felt that something was not right about this and was about to speak up.

But Ling Tian Sword Master’s eyes brightened, and he agreed on the spot: "This is a great idea! The candidates can only be chosen from among the Peak Masters. Huo Lie, that lad, is definitely out of the question. Both Bai Hua and Chaofang are sensible, but Bai Hua has more prestige. Very well, she’s the one! You all just wait and see, tonight at midnight, I’ll toss the staff into her room and then make my nighttime escape!"

Lu Xingzhi was dumbfounded: "Master! If you do this, once Fairy Bai Hua realizes, she will beat us up!"

Shi Nian immediately said: "I’ll send the third apprentice brother and the little apprentice sister back to Mei City later, Fairy Bai Hua can’t beat them there."

Lu Xingzhi: "... Then she’ll beat up me and the eldest apprentice sister."

Mu Nanqing revealed a gentle smile: "I have to go back to the Mu Family with Little Nian."

Lu Xingzhi: "???"

So, am I the only one who’s going to get beaten up?

Ling Tian Sword Master patted Lu Xingzhi’s shoulder sympathetically: "You’re the foundation of this home now!"

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

Maybe I should make a run for it too?
