Chapter 336: Chapter 335 The secret can no longer be concealed

The fall of three Divinity Transformation cultivators.

The Su Family and the Nangong Family couldn’t cover it up even if they wanted to.

It didn’t take long for the news to spread throughout the entire Cultivation World, with the Northern Region being the most intense in gossip.

In the Northern Region, the Su Family and the Nangong Family had significant power, and they had many competitors. Especially the Su Family, which suddenly lost two Divinity Transformation cultivators, saw a great decrease in strength. It was said that not long after, a Divinity Transformation from the Tianxu Sect made a visit.

The Su Family compensated with a large amount of resources.

Among them was a major Spirit Vein.

Some powerful individuals from various Sects were green with envy, and there were rumors about something Su Buchen had said that day, wishing for a major Spirit Vein to exchange for his brothers’ lives. Yet, they died, and the Spirit Vein of the Su Family was not preserved.

After the Divinity Transformation from the Tianxu Sect left.

That very night, the Su family estate suffered an attack from some people.

The Su Family had been in the Northern Region for many years and didn’t lack hostile forces. However, these people underestimated the Su Family’s strength. The Su Family was thought to currently have only one Divinity Transformation defending their household, but no one expected that there was another hidden Divinity Transformation.

The attackers that night did not fare well.

Instead, this battle calmed things down for the Su Family.

"The Su Family really keeps its cards close to the chest," Xie Jiuniang was quite surprised when she received this news.

Bai Mudan nodded, "No one saw it coming."

The Su Family had five Divinity Transformation cultivators but claimed to have only four. The unexpected death of two forced the hidden one out.

Now, the Su Family in the Northern Region was protected by two Divinity Transformation cultivators.

The other one had gone to the borders.

Xie Jiuniang gave some cultivation resources to Bai Mudan.

She also wrote a letter and asked Bai Mudan to deliver it to Bai Ruiting.

Over the years, information about several families was generally collected by Bai Ruiting while outside. At the same time, Xie Jiuniang also entrusted him with a task.

That was to spare no effort in spreading the transgressions of those aristocratic families.

Once they caught a mistake, they would relentlessly publicize it.

To tarnish the reputation of these families.

It seemed to have little effect, but actually had a profound impact.

Especially since Xie Jiuniang asked Bai Ruiting to spread rumors that these families specialized in stealing chances from those with great destiny. For example, if a disciple from one of these families befriended someone, nine times out of ten, it was for opportunity.

The most damning part was that this was true without any need for investigation.

Once someone looked into it, suspicions arose everywhere.

Who wouldn’t worry about this?

Who would dare associate with people from those families?

This time, Medical Immortal Valley and the Mo Family were also implicated.

The strongest evidence was that the Mo Family had close dealings with those families.

All crows under the sun are black.

If those families were tainted, could the Mo Family remain spotless?

Even without evidence, the Mo Family could be stained, and its previously good reputation in the Cultivation World was also covered in a layer of grime.

Xie Jiuniang cautioned, "These families may become desperate and make rash moves. Tell your brother to be extra cautious in his actions and not to give anyone handle against him."

Bai Mudan nodded seriously.

After some more reminders, she dismissed the attendant.

Xie Jiuniang gestured toward the Great Sun Golden Flames, "Little Jianjian, which do you think is more powerful, the South Ming Li Fire or the Great Sun Golden Flames?"

"They’re both more powerful than you," Jian Lingyan answered resolutely.

Xie Jiuniang was annoyed.

Forget it, no point in asking.

Just like that dog thing said, they were both more powerful than she was.

With no one to disturb her in the cave dwelling, she started tinkering with some items, all things she learned to preserve her life. Outside the sect hold was too dangerous, and she needed enough sense of security.

Those people had also suffered the loss of three Divinity Transformation cultivators.

But her foresight told her that the plot to kill her had not yet been thwarted.

How persistent!

Because of Xie Jiuniang’s donation of two hundred million,

her prestige among the Sect Disciples soared to an unprecedented level. Accessing information at various peaks, purchasing materials, and more all became smoother, opening a convenient path for her.

This time, Xie Jiuniang went to the Artifact Peak again to purchase artifact refining materials.

"Xiaojiu?"

Song Baobao’s voice came through.

Xie Jiuniang stopped in her tracks and looked back, only to see Song Baobao.

To her surprise, Xie Ying was standing next to Song Baobao.

Clutching the Water Kirin and strutting around, Xie Ying’s eyes flashed with envy upon seeing Xie Jiuniang, but it quickly disappeared as she quipped, "Jiuniang, it’s really rare to bump into you."

"Indeed, what a coincidence."

Xie Jiuniang hadn’t expected Song Baobao to buddy up with Xie Ying so quickly.

Upon remembering that Lord Ziyang and Lord Xiaoyuan seemed to share a certain camaraderie, she felt it made sense.

Song Baobao came over, complaining, "You finally decided to come out of seclusion? I rarely get to visit Tianxu Sect for fun, and you just secluded yourself every day, leaving me bored to death."

"Isn’t Xuanyuan with you?"

"Don’t even mention him, his ancestor locked him in a dark room."

Song Baobao’s words left Xie Jiuniang at a loss for words. Seeing Xie Ying walking over, cold and proud, she felt even less inclined to chat, "Song Ershao, I’ve got things to do, so I’ll be going."

"Wait, I’ll come with you."

Song Baobao grabbed her sleeve and stubbornly refused to let go.

Xie Jiuniang said, "I need to buy some materials."

"I’ll accompany you," insisted Song Baobao, clinging like a piece of candy that wouldn’t let go.

This didn’t bode well for Xie Ying’s expression.

She had been treating Song Baobao attentively these past days, even taking her on various excursions, but now it seemed her efforts were hardly appreciated.

Xie Jiuniang went straight to make her purchases with Song Baobao tagging along.

Xie Ying didn’t say anything but followed them from behind.

Then, Xie Jiuniang wanted to return to Zhengyang Peak.

Xie Ying found a reason to leave, no longer wanting to provoke Song Baobao, but then she was dumbfounded. The Water Kirin in her arms suddenly jumped onto Song Baobao’s flying machine.

Was it going to leave with Song Baobao?

Xie Ying said with a stern face, "Shuishui, don’t be capricious."

"Shuishui is so hungry, I never feel full, but I can get full meals with her. I’ll just mingle for a few meals and won’t return to Purple Sun Peak with you for now," the Water Kirin actually spoke.

Yes, it spoke directly.

It had the voice of a small child, soft and milky.

The people around who heard the Water Kirin’s words couldn’t help but cast strange looks toward Xie Ying, causing her cheeks to burn with shame and indignation.

Xie Jiuniang was taken aback, "It can speak the human language now?"

"Yes, yes, Shuishui is awesome now," the Water Kirin’s big eyes shimmered, looking up at Xie Jiuniang with a flattering gaze.

That boot-licking cute demeanor was utterly adorable.

Song Baobao exclaimed in excitement, scooping up the Water Kirin for a round of vigorous kisses, "Xie Ying Senior Sister, let me take Shuishui for some fun for a few days. Once it gets tired of playing, I’ll bring it back to Purple Sun Peak."

Without waiting for Xie Ying’s response, Song Baobao piloted the flying machine away!

Left standing there, Xie Ying’s exquisite face contorted for a moment.

Looking at Xie Jiuniang’s retreating figure, she gritted her teeth in anger.

The Water Kirin sent a telepathic complaint, "Master, that food bowl is glaring at you. She’s hoping for your downfall every day, she’s really too bad, Shuishui doesn’t want to stay by her side anymore."

"If you don’t want to stay, then don’t stay."

Xie Jiuniang was in a good mood.

When the people she disliked were unhappy, it made her happy.

Upon hearing this, the Water Kirin also became happy, "So, can Shuishui return to the master’s side?"

Xie Jiuniang had yet to reply.

Jian Lingyan made an appearance to make his presence known, exuding an aura of two meters eight, "Scheming Beast, what kind of daydream are you having? Stay on Purple Sun Peak for now. Having me by the master’s side is enough."

"Wuwu."

The Water Kirin looked pitifully towards Xie Jiuniang.

Song Baobao, the ignored existence, wore a look of confusion.

The reason was that the Water Kirin, in its excitement a moment ago, had not used telepathy but had spoken its thoughts aloud...

A beast and a sword were communicating.

Xie Jiuniang finally realized there was still someone on the flying machine, and thinking back to what just happened, she suddenly felt like she had been tricked again, this time by her own Contracted Beast.

Was this secret going to be impossible to keep?
