The next day.
Su Mu was waiting for Mi Hongling above the valley on time.
Mi Hongling didn't keep him waiting long. A moment later, she appeared in front of Su Mu and then, without saying a word, took Su Mu and flew away into the distance.
The two flew for a full three hours before stopping in an open area.
" Nascent Soul Cultivator have extremely wide-ranging divine senses, making it difficult for us to conceal our presence from them. We'll wait here until they enter the circle before we proceed."
Mi Hongling sat cross-legged to one side and began to recover her Spiritual Power.
Su Mu didn't say anything more upon hearing this, but looked into the distance and didn't see anything unusual ahead.
However, Su Mu also knew that the area he could see was probably not within the range of Nascent Soul Cultivator's divine sense.
After Su Mu sat down to rest and recuperate for an hour, his brow twitched slightly.
He sensed a surge of Spiritual Power ahead.
When Su Mu opened her eyes, she found that Mi Hongling was already gazing into the distance.
It seems that the other party noticed the movement ahead even earlier than he did.
"It looks like the two sides have clashed; it's our turn to step in."
As soon as Mi Hongling finished speaking, she led the way and flew swiftly forward.
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly followed.
Mi Hongling's escape technique was extremely fast; in an instant, she had already flown to the front.
Su Mu's brows twitched as he watched. This Holy Maiden was truly no pushover; her strength was unfathomable.
Not only was his spiritual power stronger than his, but his escape technique was also far superior.
Noticing that Su Mu wasn't following immediately, Mi Hongling raised an eyebrow slightly and slowed down a bit.
After about half an incense stick's time, Su Mu and his companion finally arrived at the scene.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively.
Above, the Nascent Soul Cultivator from both sides were facing off. Even before the battle began, their overwhelming pressure was already sweeping out in all directions.
At the very bottom were the Core Formation Cultivator, who had almost landed on the ground.
Because if they were to fly, they would have to endure the pressure of Nascent Soul Cultivator, a pressure that would be unbearable for them, and it would also constantly deplete their Spiritual Power.
The only person suspended in mid-air was a woman in a white dress in front of her, whose exquisite figure was completely covered, and even her slender hands were protected by a thin veil.
The only part of her exposed neck was her stunningly white skin.
"Oh, I didn't expect even the righteous saintess to show up. I thought you, saintess, were preparing to cultivate the Severed Mallow Art and wouldn't come out until you reached the Great Perfection!"
The moment Mi Hongling saw the woman in white, she immediately began to sow discord between them.
Perhaps because both were saintesses, and they had only just met, Su Mu immediately sensed the intense tension between them.
Although he knew that Mi Hongling had a very sharp tongue, he still couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard these words.
"Severed Mallow Art"? Isn't that just menstrual blood? Does that imply the cessation of menstruation?
Many of the cultivators below twitched at these words.
But when they saw Mi Hongling, they all lowered their heads again.
The other party is the infamous Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect; we absolutely must not attract her attention.
The righteous saintess Ruan Wenyou raised an eyebrow, a barely perceptible hint of mild anger flashing in her eyes.
It seems that Mi Hongling's words really touched her heartstrings.
Seeing this, Mi Hongling was overjoyed. As long as she could stir up the opponent's emotions, she would have a way to gain the upper hand in the battle!
"Long time no see. Have you emerged from seclusion because you've mastered your Cultivation Method?"
Ruan Wenyou seemed to take a deep breath, her face covered with a layer of frost, no longer angered by the other party's words.
Mi Hongling was somewhat disappointed. She had finally managed to get the other party to show even a little emotion, but how could they challenge her so quickly?
"Being with you, riding on a three-ringed flying boat, it seems you are the recently emerged holy son of the Demonic Sect."
Ruan Wenyou's voice was clear and cool, with a crisp quality reminiscent of jade beads falling onto a plate, making it incredibly pleasant to listen to.
However, when the other person looked at Su Mu with bright eyes, there was a hint of coldness and disgust, which made Su Mu unable to feel any goodwill towards them.
"Yes, it's me."
Su Mu readily admitted it.
Upon seeing Su Mu's admission, Ruan Wenyou's eyes grew even colder, her disgust deepening—a disgust from the righteous sects towards the Demonic Sect, a contempt ingrained in their very bones.
"What a despicable person! All you do is engage in shady dealings. The Land of the Five Elements is nothing more than a training ground for poor cultivators, yet you shamelessly went to compete with those cultivators for resources and even wiped them out."
Now, they're doing the things that bandits and cultivators do here, and their reputation has truly spread far and wide!
Is this the Holy Son of the Demonic Sect? He truly is a man of immense renown lately, someone even the Holy Maiden despises.
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators from the Green Bamboo Sect turned to look at Su Mu, making no attempt to hide their disgust.
Lately, Su Mu's reputation has become truly repulsive. No matter what, as a dignified Holy Son of the Demonic Sect, he does things like a commoner. If we're talking about despicable behavior, it's truly despicable to the extreme.
Su Mu's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this; he simply smiled and replied.
"I see that many of you are ill, and I imagine you feel the same way about me."
Um?
Su Mu showed no anger; on the contrary, his words caused Mi Hongling, who was standing to the side, to glance at him.
This guy, he speaks with such nonchalance!
I see that many of you are ill, and I imagine that you see me the same way.
Ha, this level of artistic conception is comparable to mine. Don't ask me what I think; I think you're about the same.
Mi Hongling eyes curved slightly, turning into a beautiful crescent shape.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Wenyou was taken aback. A strange light flashed in her clear, cold eyes before she returned to her icy demeanor.
"Members of the Demonic Sect are masters of eloquence and persuasion."
"A silver tongue? The Holy Maiden has tested my tongue, otherwise how would she know my prowess?"
Su Mu seemed taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and asked.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators were taken aback for a moment, and after carefully considering what Su Mu meant, they immediately showed strange expressions.
As expected of the Holy Son of the Demonic Sect, he even dares to flirt with the Holy Maiden like this.
Aren't you afraid of attracting their ambush and killing?
You must understand, Han Feiyu is far inferior to the other Holy Maidens and Holy Sons.
Ruan Wenyou bit her red lips with her silver teeth. She didn't quite understand what Han Feiyu meant, but she knew it was definitely not something nice.
"Truly worthy of being a member of the Demonic Dao, everyone has the right to kill him!"
Su Mu rolled her eyes. This guy's words were far inferior to Mi Hongling's!
Mi Hongling's beautiful eyes gradually curved upwards, revealing a rather happy expression. Perhaps she was particularly pleased to see her nemesis suffer such a setback.
Incidentally, my impression of Su Mu has improved considerably.
Hmm, when we kill Han Feiyu later, let him die a little more easily.
