Chapter 576: Chapter 570 Tearing Faces Off (3rd Update)

"One month from now, the daughter of Du Xuan Sect’s Sect Leader, Zhang Xingxiao will come to Leiming Sect to challenge you; the challenge has been issued," Wei Wuqiu said indifferently, a hint of mockery flickering in her aged eyes.

As these words were uttered, Mo Qingwu’s expression subtly changed, while Little Luo’s face immediately turned deathly pale.

"Second Elder, can I refuse?" Mo Qingwu met Wei Wuqiu’s gaze and asked.

"You cannot, the Sect has already accepted the challenge on your behalf!"

Mo Qingwu’s breath suddenly turned cold, "The Sect can accept such a challenge on my behalf?"

"Ordinary people wishing to challenge you, naturally, you have the right to refuse. But not Zhang Xingxiao!" Wei Wuqiu snorted, "She is the sole daughter of Du Xuan Sect’s Sect Leader; Leiming Sect cannot afford to offend her! Furthermore, I must remind you, on the day of the challenge, you must lose to Zhang Xingxiao!"

"Why?" Mo Qingwu was furious!!! Her voice was cold and questioning!

"Why? Miss Zhang simply wants to teach you a lesson. You just need to cooperate and give her a chance to vent. Then you would have completed the task," Wei Wuqiu snorted again, "You really thought this was a challenge?"

"I refuse!" Mo Qingwu’s voice was utterly devoid of emotion as if it were entombed in ice.

"There is no room for refusal, this is an order from the Sect," Wei Wuqiu stated and then turned to leave, adding, "And don’t try any tricks, or else if you bring disaster upon Leiming Sect, you will wish you were dead!"

After Wei Wuqiu left.

Mo Qingwu’s expression was extremely ugly as she remained silent.

Little Luo started to cry, "Saintess, how could this happen?"

Mo Qingwu had only just become a Saintess!

Why then...

Within a Sect, a Saintess already held an extremely high position.

"Just before I embarked on the Holy Path, my Master passed away!" Mo Qingwu took a deep breath and suddenly spoke out.

If her Master had not died, at least she would have had his protection; the Sect would not have forced her into such a brutal marriage arrangement so soon, and she might have had some time before having to take the life-threatening risk of entering the Holy Path.

Unexpectedly, she had successfully braved the Holy Path and become a Saintess, but...

"What?" Little Luo staggered, almost falling to the ground.

So that was it, Mo Qingwu’s Master was one of the three great Grand Elders of the Leiming Sect; originally a significant backing.

Now...

No wonder the Second Elder and the Sect dared to oppress and compel the Saintess, even after she had become a Saintess!

"Saintess, why don’t we run away?" Little Luo suddenly said, "Otherwise, you’re definitely not going to have a good end. Today, the Sect dares to force you to intentionally lose to that shameless woman, tomorrow they might force you to marry someone..."

"We can’t run away!" Mo Qingwu shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling somewhat desperate. Did they think all the people in Leiming Sect were blind? Just run away like that? Besides, even if they did manage to escape, with the power of the Leiming Sect, it wouldn’t take a day before they were apprehended.

The most critical point was, once captured, the consequences would be very severe; those who betrayed their Sect would have their Dantian destroyed and be sent to the Meridian Mine in the back mountain to become slaves.

That would be her fate, and Little Luo’s would be even worse, almost certainly leading to death, and even Little Luo’s family might be exterminated.

On the Divine Martial Continent, the major forces were always extremely cruel and domineering.

"Saintess, then... what will you do? Are you really going to deliberately lose to that shameless woman?" Little Luo had bitten her lips until they bled.

"Let’s take one step at a time!" Mo Qingwu didn’t know what to do either, as she stood there dazed.

Just at that moment.

"Junior Sister Wu!" Out of the blue, another voice came from outside the door.

Zheng Xu!!!

"What is he here for?" Little Luo got mad on the spot. It could be said that the Saintess was forced into a corner right now, and half of it was because of Zheng Xu. She was about to start cursing when she was stopped by Mo Qingwu.

Mo Qingwu said indifferently, "What business does the Saint Heir have?"

Standing outside the door, Zheng Xu said with a smile, "Junior Sister Wu, you’ve successfully traversed the Holy Path and have become the Saintess. Your Senior Brother has come to congratulate you!"

"Thank you!" There was no emotion in Mo Qingwu’s voice.

"Has Junior Sister Wu encountered some troubling matters?" Zheng Xu suddenly said with some amusement, "Your Senior Brother can help you solve them."

"No."

"Junior Sister Wu, don’t keep things from your Senior Brother. I’ve heard all about it. Miss Zhang from the Du Xuan Sect will come to challenge you in a month!" Zheng Xu laughed, "You certainly can’t win. If you win, what about the face of the Du Xuan Sect? The Leiming Sect would definitely be remembered and resented by the Du Xuan Sect. So, if I’m not mistaken, the Sect Leader and others want you to lose. However, Junior Sister Wu, you should also know that Miss Zhang has a liking for me. She will listen to what I say. If I speak up, she will voluntarily cancel the challenge in a month. It all depends on what Junior Sister Wu will do, right?"

Mo Qingwu remained silent.

As if she hadn’t heard a thing.

Zheng Xu, however, continued, "Junior Sister Wu, as long as you agree to be my woman, your Senior Brother will treat you well, for a lifetime."

A threat!

A blatant threat.

Could he be using this as leverage?

With those words from Zheng Xu, Mo Qingwu nearly lost control of her breath in anger. She shouted furiously, "Scram! You shameless scoundrel!"

"Hmph, Mo Qingwu, to tell you the truth, it was I who let Miss Zhang challenge you. Mo Qingwu, either I have you, or I destroy you. There is no third option. Agree to me, and as the Saint Heir and Saintess, we will be the Golden Boy and Jade Girl. If you don’t agree to me, your fate in a month will be pitiable. After you’re taught a lesson by Miss Zhang, you’ll still want to be the Saintess? Heh... wishful thinking," Zheng Xu cruelly sneered.

"Get out!!!" Mo Qingwu’s voice now contained the undertones of Mysterious Qi.

"You’re ignorant of what’s good for you... you’ll regret this..." Zheng Xu huffed and then left, "This young master knows you have a tiny ant in your heart, some Su... what’s-his-name. Humph, let me tell you, not only will I destroy you, but the day I come across that little ant, I will squash him to death."

This was a complete falling-out.

He had pursued Mu Tingyun for several years and failed to win her over.

He then pursued Mo Qingwu for so long, still without success, and now he had completely run out of patience.

Thus, he resorted to such despicable methods.

Why not choose Mu Tingyun? Because Mu Tingyun had been the Saintess for several years, stronger in power, and moreover, her Master was the Great Elder of the Leiyun Sect, in the prime of his life, whom even Zheng Xu did not dare to provoke.

On the contrary, Mo Qingwu, whose patron, the Great Elder, had just passed away, now had no backing at all.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Mo Qingwu was so angry her breathing became erratic, her face ghastly pale. How could she ever have expected Zheng Xu to be so shameless?

"Saintess, go tell the Sect Leader!" Little Luo’s voice was filled with a murderous intent.

Mo Qingwu shook her head, "Will Zheng Xu admit to it? No. And even if he did, his grandfather is the Third Elder. So what if he admits it?"
