Chapter 201: Chapter 200 Little Profiteer Encounters Big Trouble

"It’s her! She trespassed into my master’s..."

The young girl pointed at Xie Jiuniang and warned loudly, her eyes filled with malice.

Xie Jiuniang was quickly surrounded by people.

Among them, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Eh, is that the Little Profiteer?"

"The Little Profiteer? The one from the rumors before?" A disciple from Danfeng expressed astonishment.

"Could this be some kind of misunderstanding?"

The disciple who recognized Xie Jiuniang suggested.

Xie Jiuniang looked at the disciple, only to see him wink at her. She silently recalled when she had met this person, and after a while, she realized she had been thinking in vain; she didn’t recognize him at all.

Seeing the situation wasn’t going her way, the young girl hurriedly said, "What are you all hesitating for? Quickly capture her and send her to the Discipline Hall."

Xie Jiuniang sneered, "What’s this woman’s name?"

Someone was intentionally targeting her from behind the scenes.

The girl didn’t speak, but someone else did, "She is a registered disciple of True Lord Muhong, named Gongsun Yun."

From the Gongsun Family?

Xie Jiuniang understood—it must be related to the Gongsun Family.

Over the years, she had offended both the Gongsun Family and the Wu Family. It took them so long to trouble her, not because they didn’t want to but because they hadn’t found the opportunity. After all, she spent most of her time in the Sect’s Zhengyang Peak.

The only time she left was to visit the Secret Realm.

There were people eager to speak up for Xie Jiuniang, yet disciples aligned with Gongsun Yun followed her order and moved to capture Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t know what they were trying to pull.

But she certainly wasn’t going to let herself be caught easily.

As a hand reached out to capture her, she raised her own hand and swatted the other’s arm away.

"Ah—"

A disciple shrieked loudly.

Their entire body flew backwards, as if struck by a Technique, heavily smashing into the ground and immediately spat out blood.

The whole sequence of actions was executed with fluid naturalness.

Xie Jiuniang watched, dumbfounded.

Had she even exerted any force just now?

The other disciples were also stunned; the situation had taken an unexpectedly turn.

Gongsun Yun immediately jumped out to accuse, "You disregard the Sect’s rules and dare to injure a fellow disciple! Despicable!"

Xie Jiuniang looked at her as if she were an imbecile.

Didn’t she think the act was a bit too obvious?

Jian Lingyan was dumbstruck, "This tactic is too superficial, even a three-year-old kid wouldn’t use it."

"I didn’t even give them the chance to plot against me, and they already started acting out of desperation, didn’t they?" Xie Jiuniang didn’t think Gongsun Yun was a real fool to come up with this trouble after seeing the disciple lying on the ground, vomiting blood without getting up.

Now she understood.

It was a false accusation that she broke into True Lord Muhong’s library, and this severely injured disciple was their trump card.

They didn’t even give her the chance to defend herself before someone already fell to the ground.

Even if it turned out to be a misunderstanding afterward, the fact that she injured someone was undeniable, and if that disciple died from further assault, then the situation would be even more difficult to explain.

At this moment, people from the Discipline Hall actually arrived.

Such fast timing was obviously prearranged.

The arrival was True Person Wang from the Discipline Hall, followed by two disciples.

True Person Wang looked at Xie Jiuniang with a cold gaze, then scanned the surroundings, "Sect members are forbidden from harming one another, what are you doing?"

"Uncle-Master Wang, this person trespassed onto our mountain and then started injuring people," Gongsun Yun said, pointing at Xie Jiuniang.

When Xie Jiuniang saw this person coming over, what else was there not to understand?

As for this True Person Wang, last time her master mentioned that he had some connections with the Wu Family.

Did the Wu Family and the Gongsun Family join forces to set a trap for her?

True Person Wang looked towards Xie Jiuniang, about to issue an order to capture someone.

Xie Jiuniang couldn’t be bothered to argue with them, a waste of words; she immediately activated a Sound Transmission Talisman and called out cheekily, "Elder Muhong, help me, your peak is too dangerous, anyone can come and go, someone tried to kill me as soon as they arrived, so terrifying, I, I, I won’t dare to come over again..."

The Sound Transmission Talisman vanished.

The people present were dumbstruck.

Yes, what place is this?

This is True Lord Muhong’s territory. Just because he has been in seclusion for decades without dealing with sect affairs, doesn’t mean anyone can freely come and go on his territory.

How did they dare to come in?

No, they were brought in by Gongsun Yun, no need to fear, no need to fear.

True Person Wang’s face changed, and he was about to forcefully seize Xie Jiuniang.

Of course, he wouldn’t strike first but used the pressure of his Golden Core to achieve a deterrent effect. However, the Golden Core pressure seemed to have no effect on Xie Jiuniang; her little face didn’t even change.

Instead, it was the disciple beside her whose face turned a slight pale.

Xie Jiuniang calmly took out another Sound Transmission Talisman.

True Person Wang shouted sternly, "Yuanxi, you attacked and injured someone, and still you do not surrender peacefully!"

He made a move to seize Xie Jiuniang.

A seemingly ordinary action, but it made Xie Jiuniang suddenly feel a strong sense of crisis.

True Person Wang wanted to kill her?!

But she couldn’t detect his killing move at all!

Xie Jiuniang’s heart sank.

There was no time to think further, almost in the blink of an eye, she used her Divine Sense to trigger the defense of the Jade Token at her waist, suddenly forming a Barrier, enveloping Xie Jiuniang.

Bang!

Was something blocked by the Barrier?

The Barrier fluctuated for a moment, and finally, that force dissipated. Had she successfully blocked True Person Wang’s killing move?

Xie Jiuniang retreated several zhang.

Just a few steps, not a hair harmed.

True Person Wang didn’t fare well, his body disturbed by the backlash of the defensive Barrier, he struggled to suppress a mouthful of old blood.

He looked towards Xie Jiuniang in horror.

How could he have been discovered? He had been very covert, someone at the Foundation Establishment shouldn’t have noticed!

"What has happened here?"

A tall figure appeared, a handsome and dignified man, none other than Danfeng’s senior disciple Mo Chuan. He arrived riding a sword, descending from above. Whether intentionally or not, he landed exactly between True Person Wang and Xie Jiuniang.

Mo Chuan looked at True Person Wang with a calm expression, "True Lord Muhong is currently in the Alchemy Room practicing alchemy. He received the Sound Transmission Talisman but couldn’t leave right away, so he sent me instead. True Person Wang, what brings you and your group here?"

"The Discipline Hall received news that someone was harming a fellow disciple." True Person Wang knew today’s plan had failed, but he still put on a facade of justice.

If one move doesn’t succeed, it’s time to retreat.

Even if Xie Jiuniang knew full well what he had done just now, what about it?

She had no evidence to accuse him.

And then a little disciple ran up to Mo Chuan, saying foolishly, "Senior Brother, you’re finally here, the Little Profiteer is in big trouble."

The next moment, the people around fell silent.

Xie Jiuniang said with a smile that did not reach her eyes, "Oh, there are clear-sighted people present, I thought everyone was blind."

"Don’t even think about making excuses, everyone saw you gravely injure Lou Shizhu." Gongsun Yun was livid, her cheeks puffed red with anger, "Senior Brother Mo, she hurt Lou Shizhu without a word. As the senior disciple of Danfeng, you must ensure justice for him and not let outsiders bully us."

Mo Chuan’s starry eyes turned towards the disciple lying on the ground, spitting blood, "Lou Shizhu? I have not seen this person before."

"I, I..."

That disciple hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly he collapsed, fainting away.

Of course, Mo Chuan had never seen him, as he had only entered Danfeng today.
