Elder Liu finally realized that he was just Liu Xiu's tool! While Liu Xiu was busy having secret rendezvous with her lover, he single-handedly did everything, and then had to take the blame when things went wrong.
[How could he be so silly, hahaha.]
His colleagues were living carefree lives, while he was working himself to the bone, doing two jobs. He was diligent and conscientious, yet he felt valued. In Liu Xiu's eyes, he was just a hardworking ox who would do any work that needed to be done. Meanwhile, Liu Xiu always had other things to do, apparently busy enjoying his leisure time!
However, the credit was split equally between the two.
He's a complete traitor!
Elder Liu finally understood what was going on, Elder Liu was furious!
He's going to settle scores with Liu Xiu!
The moment he took a step, a sea-blue barrier blocked his way. Liu Yu looked at him coldly, "Elder, where are you going?"
Elder Liu's expression froze.
In my anger, I almost forgot that this difficult saintess was still here.
In Elder Bing and Liu Xiu's plan, Saintess Liu Yu was also part of the scheme. They even planned to pin the blame on Saintess if the truth came out.
Unexpectedly, before the plan could even be implemented, it was thwarted by a small mirror in Qiaoqiao's hands.
The rat demon never expected to be cleared of suspicion so easily. Although he was pinned down by the scale spear and unable to move, he had a look of schadenfreude on his face. Who doesn't love a good show? Even Demon Race are no exception.
He enjoys watching Human Race cultivators fight amongst themselves!
Elder Liu's face was ashen. Today's plan had gone awry, and he was already seething with anger. He had been tracking the rat demon all the way here, only to find that the cave's tight barrier had been breached. None of the people present had the ability to break through several layers of the barrier!
Once the barrier was broken, their secret was exposed to the disciples of both sects!
And this unassuming Flowing Cloud Sect disciple, Qiaoqiao, actually exposed Elder Bing and Liu Xiu's secret plot to the public!
Elder Liu was furious, his eyelids trembling with rage.
[Huh, why is Elder Liu looking at me like that?]
Look at his touched eyes! He must be so grateful to me! If it weren't for me, how would he have realized he'd been working two jobs?
Xiao Tingyu stared for a long time but couldn't see any emotion in Elder Liu's eyes. They were clearly dead fish eyes twitching uncontrollably! The elder was about to be driven mad with anger.
Qiaoqiao said, "Elder Liu, no need to thank me, it's all I should do."
Elder Liu was so angry that smoke was practically rising from his forehead.
"Oh dear, why is Elder Liu so angry?" Qiaoqiao blinked. "I know, you must be angry at Liu Xiu, right? If he hadn't brought you up, you wouldn't have been exposed! Not only did he use you, but he also betrayed you! Ugh, even I can't stand it, it's just too infuriating!"
Elder Liu:...
Upon closer reflection, Qiaoqiao's words actually made some sense.
But the one who truly ruined him was Liu Xiu!
Not only did she use him to do things, but she was also so careless that several disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect discovered her secret rendezvous with Elder Bing, exposing him. It's all Liu Xiu's fault!
If it weren't for Qiaoqiao, he wouldn't have known Liu Xiu's true colors.
"You're right," Elder Liu said in a hoarse voice.
Shen Ji:?
Xiao Tingyu:?
Are you out of your mind? How could you be fooled like that?!
Elder Liu's face darkened, and he flicked his whisk, unleashing a burst of Spiritual Qi that shattered Liu Yu's blue barrier. The shockwave sent the surrounding disciples flying, transforming them into streaks of light that hurtled towards the inn.
"Wow, he's going to seek revenge on Hall Master Liu!"
"Isn't this like catching someone in the act of adultery?!"
"That's exciting! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and catch up!"
Qiaoqiao Qiao stared longingly at Shen Ji, Shen Ji summoned his spirit sword and, with his junior sisters, sped off after Elder Liu.
At a time like this, we really can't just stand by and watch Elder Liu run away.
Qiaoqiao's shout brought everyone to their senses. If Hall Master Liu and Elder Bing's situation hadn't ended yet, and Elder Liu rushed over now, the scene would definitely be quite spectacular!
The term "catching someone in the act of adultery" doesn't seem to be used like that, does it?
Who cares!
If not now, when?
Charge!
A group of the Profound Heaven Sect disciples followed Flowing Cloud Sect as they rushed out of the cave.
Liu Yu:...
She glanced at the restless disciples of the Glazed Sea and said, "First, settle these civilians and Demon Race, then take them back for treatment."
The disciples replied, "Yes."
Actually, she was also somewhat interested in going to see it.
The elders had taught her for many years, but she never knew that the elders had this side to them.
Was that really the Elder Bing she knew?
but...
She looked up at the enormous Pill Furnace in the cave. She needed to first uncover the secrets of this place—what kind of elixir was being refined in that Pill Furnace?
Outside the inn's courtyard, Shen Ji rode his sword, leading his junior sisters to catch up with Elder Liu and arrive at the courtyard. By then, the sky was beginning to lighten, the sun was about to rise, and the rosy clouds were casting their glow.
At the same time, several streaks of light fell from the sky.
The light fell into the courtyard, revealing several highly skilled cultivators.
Shen Ji glanced around and saw that the group consisted of several leaders— Commandant Feng of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and Protector Cheng of the Profound Heaven Sect. Behind them, on the flying boat, were many disciples dressed in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion uniforms.
It seems the commotion caused by the Demon Devouring explosion last night was too great, alarming them, and the cultivators in Heavenly Secrets City all rushed over to check the situation.
Shen Ji: But why are these the people who came...?
[Wow, Hall Master Liu's lovers have arrived!]
Elder Liu, charge!
