Chapter 192 - 191: It’s All Her Fault

Chapter 192: Chapter 191: It’s All Her Fault

The Lu Yuan Secret Realm had not yet fully closed.

Naturally, people from the various Sects had not left, and some of the events inside inevitably involved the outside.

It was quite a commotion that almost no disciples of the Wuji Sect came out unscathed, so much so that the Wuji Sect nearly came to blows with the Minghua Sect. This was forging a deadly feud. No, perhaps the two Sects had been mortal enemies for hundreds of years.

Wu Yu could not possibly be handed over.

The fury of the Wuji Sect was not easily quelled either. Even though the cause of the conflict was the Wuji Sect disciples ambushing those of the Minghua Sect. Neither side would let the matter rest for the time being.

Xie Jiuniang watched the drama with great interest.

Soon, it was her turn to be involved because she was inexplicably taken by Lord Guangcheng to a place with many powers from the various Sects.

Xie Jiuniang blinked and asked in confusion, "What do all the Elders want with this junior by bringing her here?"

These people saw that it was just a half-grown child.

In that instant, their original intentions of seeking accountability seemed particularly ludicrous.

The most embarrassed were the Sword Sect and the Minghua Sect, to accuse such a child of fleeing the battle, not saving those disciples who were stronger than her—it would be painfully embarrassing for them.

Lord Guangcheng looked at the Sword Sect and Minghua Sect with a sardonic gaze, "If anyone has anything to say, just say it. I too feel this disciple’s actions were inappropriate. She should not have rescued those injured disciples, lest the people of the Sword Sect and Minghua Sect think she saved too few, that it was her fault for not saving everyone."

Was that remark steeped in sarcasm?

It caused many of the present powers to show varied expressions.

Some couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Xie Jiuniang had thought before coming that it was the exposure of her involvement with the great eagle blocking the Secret Realm.

Only now did she realize it was about her leaving everyone behind to escape.

Therefore, Xie Jiuniang widened her eyes and looked incredulously at the powerhouses of the Sword Sect and Minghua Sect.

Her gaze couldn’t be more straightforward.

As if to say, is this really the Sword Sect, is this really the Minghua Sect?

Such unreasonable trouble!

A powerful being from the Sword Sect felt his face grow hot from her stare.

He threw a Storage Bag to Xie Jiuniang, "It’s nothing, we called you here to express our thanks. Thank you for saving a few of our Sect’s disciples. This is a token of our gratitude."

"Thank you, Lord," Xie Jiuniang caught the flying Storage Bag.

Another Storage Bag flew over from the Minghua Sect, and the reason given was the same as the Sword Sect’s.

Xie Jiuniang accepted it with a clear conscience.

Before she could say a word, Lord Guangcheng waved his hand, and she was swept up by a force, sent back to the deck of the Sect’s flying boat.

In her ear, she heard Lord Guangcheng’s psychic voice: "Stay in the flying boat properly. Do not wander around, do not cause trouble."

Xie Jiuniang nodded repeatedly.

Even without Lord Guangcheng’s reminder, she would not wander off.

There were surely many people outside who were looking to cause trouble for her now!

Xuanyuan You slipped to her side and whispered, "What happened? Did someone come looking for trouble with you?"

"Nope, it was the Elders from the Sword Sect and Minghua Sect who wanted to thank me for saving their Sect’s disciples. Look, this is their token of gratitude." Xie Jiuniang feigned pride as she brandished the Storage Bags in her hand.

This caused all those who were paying attention to her to hear.

Lin Wangchen’s side did not miss it.

A disciple said angrily, "They actually weren’t looking to cause her trouble? Does the Elder leading the team think it’s okay for her to abandon her peers?"

"Yeah, she runs away on her own and leaves us behind and yet she gets rewards?"

"Su Songting and the others are faithless and disloyal, they fled without telling us and caused Brother Lin to be seriously injured, and not even an explanation!" Many disciples who had gone through the ordeal were very angry.

Lin Wangchen bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

His injuries seemed to be somewhat better, but in reality, they were very serious. He had sent a message to the clan’s patriarch as soon as he came out...

A disciple asked, puzzled, "Brother Lin, are you not angry?"

Lin Wangchen lowered his gaze and said, "That matter is not Yuanxi’s fault. We did not discuss it with her in advance. If she escaped first when we encountered danger, she did nothing wrong. As for the matter with the Sword Sect disciples, the Cultivation World is inherently cruel. It’s better to rely on strengthening oneself and strive to live longer than to expect others to abide by morality..."

From the beginning, he had never intended to cause trouble.

The reason was that the argument didn’t hold water.

It was simply that some disciples felt disgruntled and took the matter to the Elders.

If this fuss were to continue, it would only add to the ridicule.

Lin Wangchen suppressed the disciples who were flocking to his side, preventing them from causing any more disturbances.

Xie Jiuniang paid no mind to what others thought.

She and Xuanyuan You entered inside the flying boat and came to Xing Luan’s side.

Behind Xing Luan were Dashan and Xiaojin.

Xing Luan shifted a bit and said, "Come and sit."

"Sister Xing, are you getting used to this?" Xie Jiuniang took out a cushion and sat next to Xing Luan.

Xuanyuan You then sat on the other side of her.

Xing Luan said with a faint smile, "It’s like a dream; I never thought we’d really make it out. We owe our survival to Yuanxi and brother Xuanyuan."

"Sister, you don’t need to say that, we just stumbled upon success," Xie Jiuniang certainly wouldn’t admit it.

Xuanyuan You chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, we got lost, and we should thank sister Xing for introducing us to the Spiritual Monkey Clan Leader. Otherwise, just searching for the way would have taken us a lot of time, and we might have missed the timing to leave the secret realm."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Xie Jiuniang’s mouth.

Others were modestly downplaying their actions; did Xuanyuan You actually take it seriously?

She did not think that without the Spiritual Monkey’s guidance, she would have been trapped and died in the secret realm. With Jian Lingyan’s presence, it wouldn’t have been difficult to find a way out. The Spiritual Monkey merely saved her the hassle of searching.

The Nascent Soul Elders leading the Tianxu Sect crowd were gathered together, discussing the lively affairs of this secret realm.

This trip to the Lu Yuan Secret Realm was particularly eventful, making it unforgettable. Not to mention the quarrel between the Minghua Sect and Wuji Sect, there was also the peculiar smell each disciple inadvertently carried as they left the secret realm.

"Hahaha, this incident, I heard, was yet another doing of Chaoyan’s disciple," a Nascent Soul laughed nonstop.

Another said resignedly, "That girl is restless wherever she goes."

"But you just can’t do anything about her."

"Indeed, without her causing a fuss, the high-level Demonic Beasts at the entrance of the secret realm wouldn’t have withdrawn; the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"But her tactics were rather malicious..."

"That’s so like Chaoyan; as the teacher is, so is the disciple."

"Would you dare to say that in front of Chaoyan? I heard he’s broken through to the late stage."

The Nascent Souls were getting into the swing of their conversation, which eventually turned to Xing Luan.

Upon mentioning Xing Luan, they were all quite surprised at the initial encounter.

The Danfeng disciple who had been trapped in the secret realm for a hundred years had actually come out alive this time, the disciple Muhong had been longing for a century.

A Nascent Soul said, "I heard she made it out thanks to Chaoyan’s disciple and Lord Guangcheng’s boy who stumbled upon her by accident."

"Those two really have some good fortune," someone praised.

"Muhong now owes them a big favor; those two kids won’t have to worry about elixirs in the future," another one expressed envy.

It wasn’t just the Nascent Soul Elders discussing them.

On the flying boats of various Sects, numerous disciples all knew of Xie Jiuniang’s deeds as if they were thunder—both loved and hated.

Even Wu Yu defeating a disciple of the Wuji Sect alone couldn’t overshadow Xie Jiuniang’s prominence.

There was one thing everyone was reluctant to acknowledge but couldn’t deny: they all owed Xie Jiuniang a favor regarding the Black Feather Dadiao. Even though the method she used to handle the Dadiao was quite bizarre, it didn’t change the fact.

The only vexing thing was that they were forced to endure the torture that was inhuman.

Not even the most elaborate Dust Cleansing Technique could help.

Whenever they remembered the moment that disgusted them, they couldn’t help but feel like vomiting.

It wasn’t their bodies that were sullied, it was their souls!

Considering the large psychological shadow it cast, what could they do about it?
