Chapter 179 If Everything Goes as Expected
Ning Wan'er, leading Li Muyang and his sister, quickly passed through the corridors and courtyards, finally arriving outside the main banquet hall.
Within the banquet hall were important figures of Tianjiao City—high officials, powerful elites, and personages such as the Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley.
Even Ning Wan'er, the direct disciple of Elder Yan, did not have the qualifications to participate in the banquet in the main hall at this time.
Ning Wan'er came outside with the Li siblings and had someone notify about her request to see her master.
Soon, Yan Xiaoru arrived before them with her personal maid.
Looking at the young siblings before her, Yan Xiaoru's gaze was cold.
"What is it?"
In front of others, the Law Enforcement Elder was always so aloof and indifferent.
Even when facing her own direct disciple, her tone could not be considered gentle.
To the uninitiated, it might seem that Yan Xiaoru was angry.
But Ning Wan'er, having followed her master for so long, naturally understood her master's temperament.
She quickly conveyed through a whisper transmission all that had transpired, including her and the Li siblings' conjectures and concerns.
When Yan Xiaoru heard that Li Muyang was directly threatened by the young Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley, a hint of chill flashed in her eyes.
"… Did Nangong Ting really speak in such a manner?" Yan Xiaoru asked Li Muyang with an indifferent look.
The young Valley Master Nangong Ting of Chaotic Soul Valley possessed cultivation in the Spirit Travel Realm, making her a renowned expert among the younger generation.
When compared to her father, Nangong Xuan, who had been stagnant in the Spirit Travel Realm for many years, Nangong Ting's cultivation talent was clearly much more formidable.
In the foreseeable future, Nangong Ting was bound to become a powerhouse of the Purple Mansion Realm, and at that time, Chaotic Soul Valley would rise to new heights under her lead.
This was why Chaotic Soul Valley was determined at any cost to bail out the young Valley Master Nangong Ting.
With a powerhouse of the Purple Mansion Realm at its helm in the future, Chaotic Soul Valley's power would surely surge.
—Even the Refinement Demon Sect, a top-tier sect on the Demon Path, did not boast that all its Elders possessed Purple Mansion Realm cultivation.
The deterrence of the Purple Mansion Realm was evident.
But no matter how promising Nangong Ting's future might be, she was still but a Demon Cultivator in the Spirit Travel Realm at the moment, and her Chaotic Soul Valley was merely a medium-sized power under the Demon Sect, with no qualifications to challenge the Sect.
Nangong Ting's provocative behavior carried an air of strangeness and impropriety.
After asking in detail about the situation and pondering a short while, Yan Xiaoru looked at the young siblings before her, her gaze lingered on Li Muyang for a moment, then silently shifted away.
"Wan'er, have them stay in a separate residence tonight."
"Although Nangong Ting's actions are somewhat peculiar, the Sect Master and the Elders will be able to arrive at Tianjiao City by tomorrow."
"Before the Sect Master and the others arrive, you three must not go out. Wait for everything until after their arrival!"
Yan Xiaoru's expression was serious as she informed the three.
Upon hearing this, Li Muyang and his party were extremely surprised.
"The Sect Master and the others will arrive tomorrow?"
Wasn't the letter just sent to the Sect yesterday? How could they arrive so quickly by tomorrow?
Logically, the process should take at least three to five days for the Refinement Demon Sect's reinforcements to reach Tianjiao City, right?
Now, seeing Yan Xiaoru's cold demeanor, Li Muyang was suddenly speechless.
It seemed that he had underestimated Yan Xiaoru.
This Law Enforcement Elder of the Refinement Demon Sect might act naive and gluttonous, but that was only in front of Li Muyang.
When handling the Sect's affairs, she was still as strong-willed as any other Elder of the Demon Sect. She wasn't clouded by the sudden victories, although she had triumphed all the way, capturing an Ancient Immortal Artifact, earning such a tremendous achievement.
Yet, Yan Xiaoru remained calm and wise, perceiving the potential threats that might be hidden within, not attempting to monopolize the great feat of capturing the Immortal Artifact, but instead sending for help from the Sect headquarters immediately, requesting the Sect Master to personally lead the Elders to rush to Tianjiao City at the fastest secret speed.
Although other Elders would share in her credit, as long as they made it through tonight, once the Sect Master of Demon Refining Sect arrived at Tianjiao City with the other Elders, it wouldn't matter if Blood Lotus Sect had any conspiracies. Even if Blood Lotus Sect showed all their top combat power, they might not be able to shake Tianjiao City.
This arrangement had been made by Yan Xiaoru immediately after seizing the Immortal Artifact and gaining a major victory.
The Law Enforcement Elder showed no signs of wishful thinking. Despite the tremendous merit, she remained cool and self-controlled, which had truly opened Li Muyang's eyes.
—How could such a calm and rational woman have thought about seeking death in the secret realm just because she ran out of snacks?
Tsk...
Since Yan Xiaoru had made the arrangements, Li Muyang and the other two obediently stepped down.
The news Yan Xiaoru revealed completely set their minds at ease.
As long as the sect's reinforcement arrived tomorrow, no matter what the Blood Lotus Sect and Chaotic Soul Valley were plotting, they wouldn't be able to turn the tide!
Refinement Demon Sect dominated a territory spanning millions of kilometers, naturally possessing formidable strength to match.
Li Muyang and the others obediently left and continued to participate in the banquet.
Li Muyang did not seek out the young Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley but rather chose to lower his presence as much as possible.
When the banquet finally dispersed, Li Muyang and his sister followed Ning Wan'er to the courtyard where she was staying.
Ning Wan'er and her disciples resided in another courtyard mansion, and this was Li Muyang's first visit there.
That night, the three of them kept watch in the courtyard, quietly waiting for dawn.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The most dangerous time was now approaching.
Before the Sect Master and the Elders arrived, if the Blood Lotus Sect's conspiracy came to light, Li Muyang and the others might indeed find themselves in crisis.
But those demons of Blood Lotus Sect probably had no idea that Yan Xiaoru's actions would be so rapid and the reinforcements from the Demon Sect would arrive so swiftly. Find adventures on empire
They made it through the night safely.
Sitting in the courtyard, they remained vigilant to any disturbances in the city, ready to immediately converge with Yan Xiaoru and assemble the Demon Sect disciples in case of any incident.
But even as the morning sunlight pierced the sky, Tianjiao City remained silent and undisturbed.
There was no sign of trouble from the large prison where the Blood Lotus Sect's followers were detained.
Those fiends from Blood Lotus Sect, all with considerable cultivation, had now been captured and imprisoned, to be taken back to the headquarters of the Demon Sect, where they would be flayed and drained of their blood. Every bit of their flesh and even their souls would become resources for the Demon Sect's cultivation.
By noon, a dozen Escaping Lights tore through the sky and rapidly arrived at Tianjiao City.
They eventually landed before the City Lord's Mansion, revealing their identities.
—Led by Sect Master Gong Yanghong, a total of eleven Elders from the Demon Sect arrived simultaneously at Tianjiao City!
Although it wasn't as intimidating as having all the Elders from Magic Sword City show up at once,
the arrival of eleven Elders was still quite a significant display.
Li Muyang, who saw this scene from a distance among the welcoming crowd, finally exhaled in relief.
The weight on his heart was also at last lifted at this moment.
With the big shots from the Demon Sect arriving in Tianjiao City, let's see if Blood Lotus Sect could still make any waves!
Li Muyang took a deep breath, smiling as he was about to talk to his sister beside him.
But in the next second, his expression became intense.
—In the distant welcoming crowd, the father and daughter from Chaotic Soul Valley were present.
Facing the grand scene of the Demon Sect big shots arriving at the same time, the young Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley, Nangong Ting, showed a sinister smile on her handsome and spirited face.
It seemed that all this was what she had been waiting for.
Li Muyang's heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble.
Could it be that Blood Lotus Sect's plot was to wipe out the entire Refinement Demon Sect's top combat power in one fell swoop?
Impossible! Could Blood Lotus Sect really be that fierce?!
What do you think?
