Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 661 - 212: Who Lifted the Master’s Skirt?

Without the Shadow Hong Saber, the Refining Emotion Cave, once a colorful world of Yin-Yang Convergence, suddenly turned into a somewhat grim, black and white world, bereft of some of its vitality.

Wang Mu slowly dissipated the Protective True Qi surrounding his body as several Magic Treasures circled around him.

The moment he descended, a terrifying energy inexplicably swept over him. It was an explosion capable of destroying everything, and it made Wang Mu dare not make the slightest move. This level of explosion made even Wang Mu, who had just reached the Nascent Soul Realm, feel a shiver. He suspected Mu Hongyuan had already made her move.

The aftermath of the battle had arrived.

So, he could only resist with all his might.

The energy aftermath had just faded when he saw a phantom fly out from the distant center. It sped towards the Demon Blade, cleaved through space, and slipped away in a flash.

In mid-air, only Gu Yuqing’s fallen body remained, surrounded at its center by a faint divine light. And not far away, Mu Hongyuan hovered in mid-air.

Even with Wang Mu’s deductions, he couldn’t quite understand what had just happened. The only thing he could confirm was that Gu Yuqing showed no remaining signs of life.

Dead?

He recalled the terrifying energy from just moments ago...

"A Nascent Soul self-destruct?"

Wang Mu took a deep breath. "Was that Piao Miaoxu’s doing? Impossible. She couldn’t have controlled it to that extent... If she could, she would have killed me back in Li State..."

The power of a Divinity Transformation Realm self-explosion was unimaginable. No wonder he had felt somewhat unable to withstand it.

If Piao Miaoxu hadn’t controlled it, then she must have done it herself...

Wang Mu flew up, looking at the distant spatial rift, and asked, "What happened?"

Mu Hongyuan turned around, looking at Gu Yuqing’s gradually falling body, and sighed softly, "You did arrive just in time."

"What else could have happened? This foolish child..."

Mu Hongyuan gently embraced Gu Yuqing’s body.

After a Nascent Soul self-destruct, the body would theoretically be difficult to preserve. However, Gu Yuqing’s Constitution was special. Plus, with her Master present, she had been protected at the crucial moment.

"She thought that Piao Miaoxu came here to deal with me," Mu Hongyuan said. "But Piao Miaoxu’s soul, using the Six Desires Power, had taken over her Sea of Consciousness. Little Gu was afraid that Piao Miaoxu would harm me, and I, because of Little Gu, dared not act against her...

"Afraid that I would be in danger and unable to think of any other way... with a trace of desperate resolve in her heart, she chose to self-destruct."

Wang Mu was speechless.

He was stunned.

Looking at Gu Yuqing’s body, he hadn’t expected this... She was so incredibly resolute...

The consequences of a Nascent Soul self-destructing in the Cultivation World were extremely severe. Self-destruction meant the complete annihilation of the soul, leaving not even a chance for reincarnation.

"That Piao Miaoxu..." Wang Mu furrowed his brow slightly. "You couldn’t deal with her? Even if you couldn’t eliminate her, you should be able to seal her, right?"

He had long known that Piao Miaoxu surviving until now wasn’t simple; it was likely extremely troublesome...

Initially, in An Qixiu’s Yuhuan Immortal Mansion, the fact that Piao Miaoxu had been sealed for a thousand years proved just how difficult she was to handle. The reason was simple. If even An Qixiu’s methods couldn’t destroy her and only managed to seal her, one could imagine the implications. Although Piao Miaoxu was but a Residual Soul, she was certainly not like an ordinary Cultivator or mortal.

Back then, it was his own use of the Beautiful Fist, a technique created by An Qixiu, that had shattered the ice wall and inadvertently released her...

Not to mention, after the great change in Heaven and Earth, An Qixiu had remained for several hundred years and had met with the other female leads. The fact that they hadn’t combined their efforts to eliminate Piao Miaoxu’s Residual Soul only further emphasized how extraordinary this wisp of a soul truly was! This was especially true considering what Piao Miaoxu had said during their first encounter: during her days of being sealed, she had experienced the passage of at least several thousand years, reliving the cycle of being killed by him thousands of times.

It was simply preposterous.

In fact, the most preposterous thing was that even though he had clearly finished Piao Miaoxu off at the end of the game, she hadn’t died.

But even so, Wang Mu assessed that even if she couldn’t be annihilated, an Ascension Expert should be able to handle her with ease, or at worst, seal her again.

"It is possible," Mu Hongyuan glanced at him, "but then I wouldn’t have been able to save my disciple."

"She can still be saved?" Wang Mu was taken aback.

"With my Realm, naturally I can," Mu Hongyuan said indifferently. "Piao Miaoxu’s schemes run deep. She has been inside Little Gu for so long that she understands her thoroughly. Even though Piao Miaoxu knew the likelihood of Little Gu self-destructing was very low, she calculated that if it did happen, I would undoubtedly be too preoccupied to deal with her.

"Besides, Piao Miaoxu... you’re not unfamiliar with her."

Mu Hongyuan’s eyes flickered. "I was, in a way, her subordinate. Through Little Gu, she could even deduce the Yin Yang Dao I cultivate and the many problems I faced, such as being afflicted by the Emotion Poison.

"She carried something rather troublesome with her... Of course, troublesome as it might be, for me, making a move to seal her wouldn’t have been difficult.

"It’s just that, if I had made a move then, I wouldn’t have been able to preserve Little Gu’s body and soul just now..."

Wang Mu’s heart sank slightly. Piao Miaoxu truly lived up to her reputation.

"Only... I didn’t expect..." Mu Hongyuan furrowed her brows. "Her goal would be your Shadow Hong Saber... What other special qualities does that saber of yours possess?"

"Moreover, I remember that back then, you never used a saber; you always used a sword.

"Later, after you had disappeared for almost a year, it was discovered that your arsenal included an additional weapon, a saber... And yet, you seldom used it."

Wang Mu remained silent.

That saber... it truly was special.

The saber was very strong in the game as well.

However, in the early and mid-game, because the female lead Yan Qingwu was around, the benefits of Lerner Sword were too great. With numerous opponents in the Love Saint ending, being weak in the early and mid-game meant the later stages were unplayable.
