Poison Sage opened his eyes, revealing a faint delight: “Is the news reliable? Where is it from?”
Shang Qiu Clan Patriarch revealed a complicated expression: “It is from a spy we planted at the borders of the two races. He did not know the specifics and the information came out from the demon region; he did not know who passed him the news.”
“However, I believed the news to be likely accurate. After obtaining the information, I visited the Ancestral Hall and saw Meng Qiu’s Soul Lamp that was extinguished in the past lighted up again!”
“Good, the heavens are watching over the Shang Qiu Clan!” The clan elders heaved a sigh of relief.
“Anything else?” Poison Sage discovered that the Patriarch still had more to speak about but seems to be having difficulty.
“There is one more thing along with the news that Meng Qian is alive. He had discovered that Mu Rong Xin Nuo and Lady Fox Charm were colluding when they were inside the Demon God Estate. Just as he was to investigate further, he was discovered by the Bull Demon Emperor and could only self-destruct.” The Clan Patriarch frowned deeply. When Bai Chen Feng came to use the Demon God Command to exchange for Huan Qing Yan, he had mentioned that the person who stole the Demon God Command was Mu Rong Xin Nuo.
However, there had been a lack of evidence and Mu Rong Xin Nuo had firmly denied the allegations. Pn top of that, the Nan Gong Clan were vouching for her. The Half-Sages could only let her go.
Now there was a new piece of information. It looks like what happened at that time was real.
Mu Rong Xin Nuo had indirectly caused the death of Meng Qian. The Shang Qiu Clan would not swallow this debt silently.
Poison Sage’s expression changed upon hearing the news. It was because he had listened to that Mu Rong Lass’s slandering; that had made him act on Huan Qing Yan without holding back.
Resulting in the series of incidents that followed. Now that he thought back, Huan Qing Yan’s eyes of despair, fury, humiliation at that time. And also the incident where she endured the terrible pain of pulling out her Heart Union Knot personally. Even as a Half-Sage, he could not help but shudder.
“If the news about Meng Qian is accurate. Our Shang Qiu Clan will not let Mu Rong Xin Nuo off easily. This sage is only worried that there is another plot hiding behind this. Everyone is to keep this to themselves and act with caution. The Nan Gong Clan’s influence is excellent as of date, if this is mismanaged, it may cause a blood storm. Humanity cannot suffer another setback again.” Poison Sage made the decision and instructed.
“Yes!” although some were unwilling, they had no choice but to accept the instruction as it may impact humanity’s future.
Secret Chamber of the Nan Gong Clan.
Nan Gong Bei Chen looked at Ji Mo Ya impatiently.
“Why did you come to my house again? Can’t stay within the Ji Mo Clan anymore?” After the words were spoken, he realized that he had overstepped and quickly stopped himself.
Ji Mo Ya did not take it to heart and calmly replied: “I am in a rush. I am only here to inform you of the news that has reached Shang Qiu Clan. Shang Qiu Meng Qian discovered that Mu Rong Xin Nuo was colluding with Madam Fox Charm originally. He had wanted to investigate but had no chance. In the end, he was forced to self-destruct due to the Bull Demon Emperor!”
Nan Gong Bei Cheng was startled for a moment but was not surprised, revealing a pondering look instead.
After a moment, he said: “Now that you mention it, she does have many suspicious points now that I recall in detail. Especially after I married her, I had discovered some anomalies. Her face can be considered pretty, but it became more… alluring. Moreover, she used to possess a submissive character, but now, she would reveal some traces of seductive yet deadly aura. I have formed a Hearts Union Knot with her, even if she hid it with all her might, I could still detect traces of impure intentions from her thoughts. From the looks of it, she must have plotted against Little Yan. Just that I do not think things are as simple as it seems, I am afraid she has another plot.”
