Chapter 758: Chapter 758: Catch a Ready-Made One
Unable to discern Wei Ruo’s true intentions, Zhong Niangyao did not ask any questions, and left directly after bidding farewell.
Lu Yichen was still handling affairs, so she didn’t plan to return so quickly. Therefore, she slowly made her way back.
It was halfway there that she suddenly saw a shadow flash by. A glimr of perplexity crossed her eyes as she imdiately followed it.
Chasing the shadow, Zhong Niangyao arrived at a secluded place. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed the shadow. However, just as her hand touched the shadow, it vanished like dust, dissipating into thin air.
At the sa ti, she saw a figure lying on the ground not far away, which seed to be no longer moving.
Ordinary people would have hurried away from such a scene. Otherwise, if soone were to see them later, they would be unable to clear their na even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
But Zhong Niangyao was no ordinary person. After looking around, the corners of her mouth curved upward in a significant arc, as if she had thought of sothing amusing, and her Bead eyes rotated slightly.
Thereupon, she leisurely walked to the figure lying on the ground.
Upon seeing the fallen figure, a piercing light flashed in her eyes, and a chilly aura emanated from her being.
It was because she saw the Little Immortal on the ground, shriveled and devoid of any immortal energy. Clearly, soone had drained all cultivation from them.
She didn’t have to guess to know it was the perpetrator’s doing.
Before, she and Lu Yichen had theorized that the culprit had abducted so many Little Immortals to perform so Forbidden Technique. Now seeing this Little Immortal’s tragic state, what else could she be confused about? The culprit had taken so many Little Immortals to suck away their immortal power. Without thinking, she could guess the fate of those who had disappeared.
“Ah—”
A sharp scream rang out, and soon, a crowd of people gathered.
Zhong Niangyao looked at the newcors and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Among them were Yuan Hao and Wei Ruo, all familiar faces.
Seeing this, what else could she be confused about? This was a trap set for her! She previously didn’t understand why Wei Ruo had suddenly called her out, what it really was about.
Now what else could be unclear? However, she did beco sowhat curious.
Why would Wei Ruo do such a thing? Could it be that Wei Ruo was the mastermind behind this? Then, the question arises again. Why would she do this?
Wei Ruo was now an Upper God, and her forr fiancé was a hero in the Divine World, sacrificed in the God Demon War. Ten thousand years ago, her status in the Divine World was already high.
Afterward, when Emperor Yichen reincarnated, she was in charge of managing so affairs in the Divine World, becoming unparalleled in status.
Considering Wei Ruo’s identity and position in the Divine World, why would she commit such acts?
“Lady Yaoxi, what exactly are you doing?” Wei Ruo stepped forward and looked at Zhong Niangyao with an expression filled with anguished disbelief, “Could it be that the recent disappearances of the Little Immortals in the Divine World are all related to you?”
With these words, all eyes turned to Zhong Niangyao, filled with suspicion and wariness.
Facing these doubts, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged, and a faint smile played upon her lips as she stood there and spoke lightly, “Oh, it has nothing to do with .”
“How could that be possible?” Supre Hua Rui, who had just scread, imdiately spoke up, “If it wasn’t you, then why were you here? This place is so remote, you surely won’t say you were just passing by, will you?”
“No,” Zhong Niangyao shrugged, her expression still indifferent, “I followed a shadow here.”
“Then where is that shadow now?” Hua Rui continued aggressively, “Lady Yaoxi, you surely wouldn’t say you couldn’t catch it! Your cultivation is acknowledged by all in the Divine World. To escape from your grasp, just how powerful it must’ve been!”
Hua Rui had always harbored deep envy towards Zhong Niangyao. She couldn’t understand why she, also an Upper God, couldn’t surpass Lady Yaoxi in any aspect.
Most importantly, Emperor Yichen actually took a fancy to Zhong Niangyao, even going to the extent of doing so many crazed things for her.
If it hadn’t been for Lady Yaoxi, Emperor Yichen wouldn’t have reincarnated and lived as a mortal for so many years.
In her eyes, Lady Yaoxi was a scourge, bringing disaster to the Divine World.
She was overjoyed at the return of Emperor Yichen. However, Lady Yaoxi’s return was indeed a disaster for her.
Even though she was an Upper God, her status in the Divine World was not high. Besides, with Emperor Yichen’s protection of Lady Yaoxi, there was nothing she could do. Now that she had caught Lady Yaoxi in the act, she would definitely not let go of this opportunity to suppress her.
“Anyway, what I’ve said is the truth, believe it or not,” Zhong Niangyao said indifferently.
“You—” Hua Rui was so angry she could hardly speak.
“Lady Yaoxi, do you have any difficulties?” Wei Ruo looked worried, “If you do, just tell us. We can all understand. However, the things you’ve done in the past still need to be atoned for by yourself.”
That understanding deanor made everyone present involuntarily admire her.
“Oh, have I done sothing intolerable by heaven?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Wei Ruo and asked with a smile, “Did you witness doing it with your own eyes? If not, then please shut your mouth.”
“Lady Yaoxi, you still have the audacity to spout nonsense here,” Hua Rui said angrily, “You hurt the Little Immortals, we’ve all seen it with our own eyes, what else do you have to argue?”
Zhong Niangyao still stood there, her expression unchanged, “I’ve already said, it’s unrelated to . Whether you believe it or not, it’s unrelated to .”
Hua Rui wanted to say sothing else, but was interrupted by Yuan Hao.
“Enough, let the Emperor decide on this matter!” Yuan Hao directly imposed a conclusion, “Let’s go back now.”
To tell the truth, he didn’t believe Lady Yaoxi would do such a thing. However, with so many people watching, he couldn’t be seen as bending the law for personal gain. Therefore, the best course of action was to let the Emperor pass judgnt. Then, who would dare to object.
“But the relationship between the Emperor and Lady Yaoxi—” Hua Rui began to speak, only to be cut off.
“So, you’re suggesting the Emperor would be partial.”
Yuan Hao’s voice was cold as it rang out.
