Chapter 196: Is My Aura That Strong?
Qi Huang remembered very clearly that the spiritual sense came from the south. However, when she investigated in that direction, she found no suspicious individuals within three miles. There were only some minor followers of the sects, the closest being more than a mile away, and spiritual sense could not possibly probe that far.
“This is truly strange. Did I have a hallucination?”
Qi Huang muttered, and coupled with the arrow that had descended from the sky earlier, she felt a little uneasy.
Qi Huang had no time to waste, so she prepared to leave. But the little black cat looked at her pitifully, refusing to let her go.
“If I leave, what if it runs back into the Yuxiao Sect?”
Qi Huang sighed helplessly and finally decided to see it through. She gathered some vines and quickly wove a cage with her spiritual sense.
Qi Huang placed the little black cat in the cage, brought it to a secluded spot, and kindly threw a fish into it.
Qi Huang patted her hands with satisfaction and then took off again, heading towards the Yuxiao Sect.
For the next half day, Qi Huang searched for the Nine Nether Demonic Cat in the ruins of the Yuxiao Sect. The result was laughable. She didn’t find the Nine Nether Demonic Cat, but she did rescue four or five stray cats from the clutches of the HuXiao Sect disciples and then unceremoniously locked them in the cage she had made earlier to feed them.
“Stay here properly, and I’ll let you out after those bad guys leave.”
Qi Huang threw two fish in, put her hands on her hips, and felt incredibly accomplished.
“Wait! Didn’t I come here to find the Nine Nether Demonic Cat? Why have I inexplicably become a ‘cat owner’?”
Qi Huang suddenly realized something was wrong, but what could she do? Now that she had brought them here, she couldn’t just abandon them!
“Forget it! I’ll just consider it good deeds!”
Qi Huang gave a self-deprecating smile, but in the next moment, a strange spiritual sense scanned her again.
Qi Huang felt as if she had been struck by lightning and immediately released her spiritual sense to investigate. However, the result was the same as before; she found nothing.
“I’ll dig three feet into the ground to find you!”
Qi Huang was furious. She simply flew directly in that direction, but along the way, she saw nothing but some small animals.
“This is really uncanny.”
Qi Huang cursed under her breath. Since she had cultivated her spiritual sense, she had never encountered an enemy she couldn’t detect. She felt a little uneasy.
Qi Huang dared not delay any longer. She casually flew towards the Yuxiao Sect. The most important thing now was the safety of her main body.
Not long after, Qi Huang arrived near the HuXiao Sect’s camp. To avoid being discovered, she did not directly use her spiritual sense to investigate. Instead, she had her main body activate the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device.
At this moment, in the HuXiao Sect’s camp, their own personnel were still at a loss for what to do next regarding the plan.
Cheng Hong Ling’s jade-like hands had been gripping her sword hilt without loosening. She knew that once they fell out, these people would target the chubby one beside her first.
“If you ask me, we should have the Saintess of Shuiyu Valley continue to use Mullinglong, trying it on all the plants and trees still alive in the Yuxiao Sect. Since Cheng Hong Ling is here, she has plenty of blood to supplement her.”
The Protector, Ma, proposed a terrible idea.
“This is indeed a good method. A carpet search will always yield some clues.”
Elder Zhou also agreed.
“In that case, let’s get started quickly. I think Cheng Hong Ling is well-endowed, with plenty of blood.”
A Huashen Realm master from the Northern Great Sect, Chongyan Sect, also chimed in.
Thus, the three factions, which had been hostile to each other, actually reached an agreement.
“Don’t even think about it. I will not cooperate with you.”
Mu Ruoyi refused without hesitation.
“Then hand over the Nine Nether Demonic Cat from Shuiyu Valley. We can’t have come all this way for nothing.”
Protector Ma demanded again.
“How about I chop off your legs? That way, you won’t have come all this way for nothing in the future!”
Cheng Hong Ling retorted coldly.
“How dare you, a mere young girl, speak such arrogant words? Let me chop off your legs first. As long as there is enough blood, Mu Ruoyi can continue to use Mullinglong.”
Protector Ma’s gaze was sharp, and his killing intent was evident.
“You’re dreaming. I’ve already said that I won’t cooperate with you.”
Mu Ruoyi sneered, unaware that she had exposed her weakness.
“It seems you care a lot about her. That’s good. Let’s chop off one of her legs first, and then you’ll obediently listen.”
Protector Ma said maliciously.
“You can try it if you want.”
Cheng Hong Ling retorted sharply, completely unfazed.
“You’d better not resist and cooperate obediently. We might spare your life! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”
The strongman from the Northern Great Sect also spoke up, clearly agreeing with Protector Ma’s method.
Mu Ruoyi saw that things were not going well and quickly shielded Cheng Hong Ling behind her.
“I knew it! There’s definitely a stage for me to perform! But you’re pressuring me to appear before I’ve even found the Nine Nether Demonic Cat. Can you afford my appearance fee?”
Qi Huang closed the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device with a gloomy expression and suddenly disappeared from her original spot.
Qi Huang was angry for a reason. She had originally planned to appear as the finale after finding the demonic cat, and then demand everything. This way, she could achieve her goal with a very small risk of exposure. But now, she couldn’t even see a shadow of the Nine Nether Demonic Cat, and she had to go save her main body. Who could tolerate this?
In the blink of an eye, Qi Huang angrily appeared outside the HuXiao Sect’s camp, looking as if she had come to claim her appearance fee.
“Who are you? State your name!”
A HuXiao Sect disciple, without any sense, rushed forward to question her.
Qi Huang calmly took out a pill and swallowed it. This was something she had bought specifically for disguise. It could temporarily stimulate her vocal cords, making her voice hoarse and androgynous.
“You’re still taking medicine even when you’re about to die. Is cramming useful?”
The disciple raised the sword in his hand and slashed.
“You? You are not qualified to know who I am!”
Qi Huang’s hoarse voice emerged, and her powerful spiritual sense immediately suppressed him.
The HuXiao Sect disciple’s legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground. Due to the immense force, his knees shattered instantly, emitting clear cracking sounds.
“Ah!”
The disciple let out a miserable scream and then rolled on the ground, clutching his legs.
Qi Huang knew that she had attracted the attention of the group in the tent, so she flew back into the air. Because the scent of the Golden Life Flower on her body was too obvious, she couldn’t get too close.
…
The people in the large tent looked at each other after hearing the commotion and quickly walked out. The scene outside had already descended into chaos.
Cheng Hong Ling looked around and saw a slender figure in black standing proudly in the air not far away. “He” was completely wrapped up and his appearance was completely obscured. However, compared to ordinary men, he was too thin, with slender arms and legs, making it difficult to connect him with a master.
“What is going on?”
Elder Zhou inquired, as he noticed that one of his disciples had broken his legs and was bleeding profusely.
“Elder Zhou, this person suddenly intruded and injured Junior Brother Huang.”
Another disciple explained.
“Elder Zhou, you must avenge me!”
The disciple with broken legs pleaded with a snotty and tearful face.
Elder Zhou frowned. Not knowing the opponent’s identity and strength, he dared not act rashly and decided to probe first.
“May I know who you are, sir? And why did you injure my HuXiao Sect disciple?”
Elder Zhou asked, suppressing his anger.
“You don’t need to know who I am! You only need to know that from now on, this Yuxiao Sect belongs to me. Who agrees? Who opposes?”
Qi Huang said unceremoniously.
“What a bold statement! Do you think you are a Shentong Realm expert?”
Elder Zhou sneered.
“Oh dear! How did you know I was a Shentong Realm expert? Is my aura that strong? I can’t even keep a low profile.”
Qi Huang said with feigned surprise.
“Stop acting! Your acting is too exaggerated! There are only two or three Shentong Realm experts in the Xihui Dynasty, and I have met them all, including you.”
Protector Ma’s eyes gradually turned cold.
‘Acting?’
Hearing the word ‘acting’, Cheng Hong Ling, for some reason, suddenly thought of the shadow of that clone. Perhaps she was already traumatized, and had developed a reflex.
“~l&iu Ling ② 陾 傘 ⑷ 紦 % ba Si Ling Meng, are you sure you’ve met them all?”
Qi Huang sneered repeatedly and unleashed her vast spiritual sense, suppressing the Protector Ma below with a direct force.
