The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 189 : The Adorably Naive Little Pagoda Spirit

Mo Qingchen said coldly, "This sword strike is the consequence of your own actions. You can't blame others. If you hadn't done these unconscionable things, I naturally wouldn't have struck you. If you could truly turn back, I might spare your life once more."

"Turn back? Hahaha, can I go back now? Can I go back now? My reputation and status are gone!" Her eyes were venomous, aggressive. "And all of this is because of Chu Sang. If not for her, how could I have fallen to such a state?"

Such people never find fault in themselves but instead harbor resentment to the extreme, pushing all their misfortunes onto others. "There can only be one chosen woman in this world. One of us, me or her, must die!"

Seeing the person before him becoming increasingly brazen, the temperature in Mo Qingchen's eyes completely cooled. "Then I only wish for her to live."

Qin Xixue's face stiffened. Soon, she laughed again, "Such noble words. Brother Qingchen, do you think you haven't killed her?"

Mo Qingchen's mind shook, not knowing where this statement of hers came from. At that moment, Qin Xixue's figure suddenly vanished.

A blood-stained cloth doll fell to the ground.

It was... a substitution spirit tool!

Mo Qingchen twitched the corner of his mouth. She indeed had many treasures.

"You can't kill her."

He looked towards the voice. The air behind a tree rippled, and Chu Sang's figure appeared before his eyes.

She had been eavesdropping for an unknown length of time but hadn't revealed herself.

"Qin Xixue has plenty of life-saving magical tools. She won't let herself perish here so easily." Not to mention that she was the heaven's chosen woman. The heavenly dao was protecting her and wouldn't let her die so easily.

Chu Sang had deliberately not appeared earlier, secretly observing. Sure enough, at Qin Xixue's moment of life and death, another mysterious aura flashed by instantaneously. She immediately sent out her spiritual sense to pursue it but was repelled almost instantly, her sea of consciousness experiencing intense pain. It was a warning from the person behind the scenes, also indicating that the strength of that person far exceeded what she could currently reach.

Indeed, someone was secretly helping Qin Xixue in the background...

This female protagonist was truly like a cockroach, unkillable no matter how you tried, with someone always coming to her rescue when in danger...

Seeing Chu Sang, Mo Qingchen recalled Qin Xixue's words. He moved his lips but didn't ask, only saying, "Perhaps I know where those magical tools in her possession came from."

"That bracelet." Mo Qingchen paused, then said lightly, "She's always worn that bracelet. I always thought it was just an ordinary storage bracelet, but now I realize it might not be so simple."

"Those heaven and earth treasures of hers were taken out of the bracelet. That bracelet is very likely a Sumeru space left behind by a great expert of the past, containing countless treasures within a heavenly mansion."

"And there's a mark on the bracelet, which is the mysterious mark we accidentally saw when we fell off the cliff last time." He looked at Chu Sang.

Chu Sang narrowed her eyes, deep in thought, but the clues they currently had were too few to form any good ideas.

She asked again, "What else did Qin Xixue say to you?"

Seeing Mo Qingchen's hesitant expression, Chu Sang knew he must have learned something but was holding back. She hated this kind of dawdling the most. "Just say what you have to say. Everyone's time is precious."

"I... I don't know what she meant by that statement." He pressed his lips together and said, "She said I killed you."

Chu Sang's heart shook. Wasn't this content from the original story?

In the original story, she turned evil and fell into demonic ways, so she was killed by Mo Qingchen with one sword strike. Qin Xixue even knew about this?

This made Chu Sang somewhat suspicious of Qin Xixue. Could it be that she, like herself, had been reborn with the script, or had someone else told her about this?

It was all unknown.

Interesting.

"Just treat it as her talking nonsense. I'm alive and well here. How could you possibly kill me?"

Chu Sang showed no intention of explaining further to him and turned to leave.

Mo Qingchen followed her steps, "But I have a feeling that statement of hers wasn't a joke. It's as if it really happened."

Chu Sang stopped, still with her back to him, and spoke lightly, "Then you can treat what she said as true. Perhaps the thing she spoke of really could have happened... Mo Qingchen, let me ask you something. If one day I fell into demonic ways, would you kill me with your own hands?"

He was stunned but didn't directly answer this question. Instead, he insisted, "You would never fall into demonic ways."

"Why? Are you so certain that my nature is steadfast and I won't fall into demonic ways?"

"......"

It wasn't that he didn't believe she wouldn't fall into demonic ways, but rather, he had never considered this possibility.

Any cultivator on the entire continent could possibly fall into demonic ways. Even his Heartless Sword Dao wasn't stable and had the possibility of falling into demonic ways. But Mo Qingchen had an inexplicable firm belief that Chu Sang absolutely could not fall into demonic ways.

That girl who had saved him in the icy, bloody land, in red clothes like fire, bright and passionate, how could she possibly... fall into demonic ways?

"Suppose there was a person who was adopted from childhood merely to be used as a blood bank for someone else. She was lured and harmed by those closest to her, her spirit root dug out, her heart blood taken. Everything she had was gone. She suddenly realized her entire life was just to pave the way for another person, a disposable pawn to be discarded after use. She fell from the peak into the mud, then had to endure endless mockery from those around her, forcing a genius to accept becoming useless, and in the end, even her body was to be destroyed without a trace..." Her tone was very calm, as if narrating someone else's story.

In fact, for the current Chu Sang, it really was like narrating an unrelated story.

She raised her eyes and smiled at the black-clad youth before her, "Do you think she would fall into demonic ways after experiencing all this?"

Mo Qingchen made no comment. No one's nature is as firm as a rock, able to maintain their original heart after truly experiencing such horrific events.

What surprised him more was, could such things really happen in the righteous cultivation world he held in his heart? Arbitrarily digging out a disciple's spirit root, wasn't that the doing of evil cultivators?!

If anyone else had said this, Mo Qingchen would have thought they were probably mentally ill, fabricating such a horrifying story. But this was spoken by Chu Sang herself. Anyone with a brain could hear that the "person" she spoke of referred to whom.

"Your spirit root was previously accidentally damaged, dug out by Master Chang Yu... and Qin Xixue, who entered the sect not long after, also had a rare heaven-grade fire spirit root that appears only once in a hundred years. That spirit root..." His voice was somewhat hoarse. Even if he couldn't believe all this, he finally said the words, "That spirit root was yours, wasn't it?"

"Ai ai ai, don't make that expression. It really doesn't suit you at all. Don't worry, the spirit root has now been returned to its rightful owner. Qin Xixue has also been expelled from Tianyan Sect. Without her spirit root, her cultivation is now difficult to breakthrough. She can't gain any advantage from me anymore." Chu Sang crossed her arms, smiling sincerely and earnestly, "I've also long since cut ties with Tianyan Sect. Past matters are settled. So now you know everything, right? Don't ask me about it again in the future."

So... this was the real reason she left Tianyan Sect.

How could anyone who had been treated like this possibly return to the place that brought them such pain?

Thinking of how he had foolishly tried to persuade her to return to the sect before, it now seemed truly laughable.

So the truth of everything was like this. It was really... unspeakable...

Mo Qingchen still found it hard to believe. He didn't want to ask Chu Sang how she knew all this because asking now would be meaningless.

Chang Yu, as his life-saving benefactor who had taught him for over a decade, someone he had always deeply respected, could actually do such an unconscionable thing.

Mo Qingchen recalled seeing Chang Yu do those things to Lou Qing in the sect last time. Judging from Chu Sang's reaction afterwards, he must have used some evil techniques to erase certain memories of Lou Qing.

Why would a cultivator, an elder of the Eight Great Immortal Sects, know so many evil techniques?

While Mo Qingchen's thoughts were in turmoil, Chu Sang was actually observing his attitude.

Mo Qingchen had been in Tianyan Sect for over a decade. In other words, the sect had long been his second home.

And Chang Yu, as his master and life-saving benefactor, naturally earned his respect. Even if he encountered some rumors, he would definitely stand on Chang Yu's side. So initially, Chu Sang hadn't planned to tell Mo Qingchen these things.

But now it seemed that this plot was far more complex than she had imagined. Perhaps starting from Mo Qingchen, the male protagonist, might have some unexpected effects.

She had said so much, also wanting to see Mo Qingchen's psychological endurance. If he could accept it, they might even become partners. If not, they could only continue to go their separate ways. After all, she had no connection with Tianyan Sect now.

"Mo Qingchen, can I trust you?"

She stared at him.

The black-clad youth gripped the scabbard of his sword tightly. After a long while, he said, "You forget, you saved my life..."

"Little Junior Sister, where did you go just now?" After dealing with those frenzied rogue cultivators, Tantai Ming turned his head to find Little Junior Sister had disappeared!

Not long after, she returned, but she came out with that top disciple from Tianyan Sect. Tantai Ming immediately became somewhat defensive. After all, in his eyes, there were few good people in Tianyan Sect.

Although prejudice can be hurtful, Tantai Ming just couldn't help being prejudiced.

Chu Sang said, "Qin Xixue ran away. We just went to chase her, but unfortunately, she escaped after being severely injured."

Her gaze swept over the rogue cultivators lying scattered on the ground, and she frowned slightly. She had previously instructed Big Senior Brother and the others not to kill these rogue cultivators yet, to keep them alive, as they might be able to extract some clues.

Now they were all dead.

They hadn't been killed but had withered away after their flesh and blood were consumed, their physical bodies and souls exhausted.

Their manner of death was extremely miserable. They had almost turned into mummies, shocking to behold.

"Qin Xixue gave them Blood Imprint Pills mixed with several other potent drugs, causing them to burn their essence blood to greatly increase their strength. Not only did it not stop after a quarter of an hour, but it became increasingly intense, completely burning the essence blood in their bodies until death," Mu Chihuai said calmly. "She brought these rogue cultivators here without any intention of letting them leave alive. As soon as she encountered danger, she would immediately push these rogue cultivators out as shields. To silence them, she even made so many modifications to the pills."

"This person is too unconscionable. This already counts as evil techniques. She was a disciple of the Eight Great Immortal Sects after all. When did she secretly learn these evil techniques? And she even used them on cultivators! How is this any different from those despised evil cultivators?"

"The difference is that evil cultivators at least do bad things openly. She, on the other hand, hid it for so many years. Who knows how many unspeakable things she's done with these things behind people's backs? It's fortunate she was expelled from the immortal sect. Otherwise, we would have been the ones harmed."

"It's utterly unconscionable. Has she gone completely mad......"

All the disciples present were filled with indignation and contempt.

Chu Sang couldn't help but comment that the evil techniques of this pair of dog master and disciple, Qin Xixue and Chang Yu, were truly surpassing the master. For Qin Xixue to use evil techniques so proficiently, it definitely wasn't her first time.

It's just that previously, when she was in the sect, she had to consider her identity as a sect disciple, so at most she only dared to use them secretly, not letting people discover.

Now that she no longer had the identity of a sect disciple, she could use them openly.

Honestly, with the female protagonist's talent, she really shouldn't have applied to the eight great sects, wasting her abilities. If she had gone to the neighboring evil cultivation sects, she could have at least become a true disciple. She wouldn't have needed to rack her brains to steal others' achievements. This was her own genuine talent.

"How did you subdue that pagoda? You scared me to death! I almost sacrificed myself to save you!" Mu Changqing came over and said softly, "This Demon-Locking Pagoda is a legendary ancient divine artifact. It wouldn't submit to a mere Nascent Soul stage cultivator."

Qin Xixue couldn't subdue the Demon-Locking Pagoda because she was just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. But, Little Junior Sister was also just a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Forceful coercion. Even a forced melon can be sweet. If it doesn't submit, it's fine. Burn it a few more times, and it will naturally submit." Chu Sang's main approach was domineering.

During that half hour in the pagoda, she had inflicted quite a bit of horrific torture on the Demon-Locking Pagoda. She blasted it with talismans, bombarded it with fire, had her three tool spirits attack it together, slashing and chopping. The key was that this unconscionable woman could also draw talismans. She threatened that if it didn't open for her, she would seal the pagoda on the spot... This ancient divine artifact, which had finally seen the light of day after being sealed for ten thousand years, feared nothing more than being sealed again in a lightless place. It immediately yielded.

The Demon-Locking Pagoda hadn't submitted at all. It had been forced to show weakness under her tyranny.

She opened her palm, and a nine-storied pointed little pagoda appeared in her palm. When several senior brothers and sisters gathered to look, it even retreated a bit, showing social anxiety, and emitted a human voice!

It was an adorably naive childish voice,

"I... I said I'd only help you once!"
