Chapter 215: Even Youluo Temple was an Idiot?

Formless Mountain…

Green Mist Peak…

In the extremely luxurious chambers, the sound of bamboo and silk could be heard incessantly. Through the thin red curtains, one could faintly see her graceful figure swaying.

Patriarch Huanxi sat on a chair like a tiger sitting on a dragon.

He was tall and sturdy, his muscles bulging under his thin and loose clothes. He looked like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

Beside him, a few pretty girls were massaging his shoulders.

Dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

A gray-robed old man quickly walked in. “Greetings, Ancestor. I have something important to report.”

The ancestor waved his hand. “You can all leave.”

“Yes.”

The sound of bamboo stopped, and the girls all stood up and left.

Only the two of them remained in the main hall.

The ancestor asked, “Speak. How is the situation?”

The old man swallowed his saliva and said, “The people we sent to kill Qin Ruyan… All of them were wiped out.”

“What did you say?” The ancestor frowned, suspecting that he had misheard.

“The deacons, Cheng Yuzhu, and Xie Brothers are all dead,” the old man said in a low voice.”

Boom!

The entire hall trembled.

The boundless blood energy spread out, and the air was filled with a tyrannical killing intent!

The elder trembled as he laid on the ground, not even daring to raise his head. His eyes were full of fear.

Patriarch Huanxi appeared to be middle-aged, but he was actually an old demon. He was several times older than him.

However, he had always used secret techniques to maintain his appearance, and that secret technique…

To put it bluntly, it was a pile of lives.

The corpses that had died at the ancestor’s hands were almost enough to cover the peak.

“Cheng Yuzhu is dead too?”

“Dead.”

“A bunch of trash!” The Patriarch’s voice was bone-piercingly cold, filled with intense anger.

The old man said with a trembling voice, “I suspect that Qin Ruyan has a helper. Otherwise, Xie Longju wouldn’t have died.”

“Helper?”

“To be able to kill Xie Longju so easily, you have to at least be a Heavenly Tribulation expert. Someone dares to interfere in the affairs of the Joyous Unity Sect… Who could it be?”

The old man said, “The Sect Master is about to come out of seclusion. The most urgent matter right now is to deal with Qin Ruyan. Otherwise, it would be bad if the Sect Master is to find out!”

Ancestor Huanxi’s eyes flickered with fear.

The reason he had moved against Qin Ruyan this time was because of her position.

This matter had long been planned, but there was no suitable candidate.

With great difficulty, she had managed to find Cheng Yuzhu, who was born with a seductive bone, and raised her to the perfection of the Golden Core Realm, allowing her to compete for the position of Holy Maiden.

This time, taking advantage of Liu Xunhuan’s closed door cultivation and Qin Ruyan’s absence from the sect, it was a good opportunity bestowed by the heavens.

Who would have thought that he would actually miss? Even Cheng Yuzhu was dead!

The Ancestor’s eyes were icy cold. “Could it be that you want me to personally make a move?”

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the sect. Any movement would be reported to Liu Xunhuan. This made him dare not act rashly.

Only disciples below the Heavenly Tribulation could avoid these eyes and ears.

Qin Ruyan was only a Golden Core. It was more than enough for the two of them to deal with her. But now, they were completely annihilated.

If he personally made a move, it would definitely reach Liu Xunhuan’s ears.

However, if Qin Ruyan were to return, Liu Xunhuan would also know about this matter.

The ancestor’s eyes flickered as he hesitated.

Kui Feng City…

On the street, a man and woman were walking slowly.

The man was tall and straight, his face handsome. The woman wore a veil, and her figure was graceful.

It was Li Ran and Qin Ruyan.

When they walked together, they looked at each other.

Li Ran asked curiously, “That’s right, you haven’t said anything. Why did Patriarch Huanxi send someone to kill you?”

Qin Ruyan let out a soft sigh. “It’s all because of my position.”

The cultivation methods of the Joyous Unity Sect were very special. There were two completely different cultivation methods.

One type was dual cultivation of life, yin and yang complementing each other, and the other type was forcefully plundering and replenishing oneself.

Liu Xunhuan took the first route.

What was important was that yin and yang complemented each other.

This method needed to be slowly refined, and the advancement was relatively slow.

However, victory was based on a solid foundation, a stable state of mind, and a longer-term future.

Patriarch Huanxi was different.

He had always believed that harvesting and mending was the essence of dual cultivation. Thus, he had abducted women without restraint and committed countless sins.

This method of advancement was indeed fast, and many people in the sect chose to cultivate like this.

The Joyous Unity Sect’s evil reputation had also come from this.

Qin Ruyan said, “Ancestor Huanxi has always wanted to make the method of harvesting and mending orthodox. However, there’s nothing he can do with the Sect Master’s pressure, so he focused his attention on me. If Cheng Yuzhu became the Holy Maiden, more and more people in the sect would choose to plunder…”

Li Ran frowned. “But Liu Xunhuan is an Emperor. Why doesn’t he just kill this old ancestor?”

Qin Ruyan smiled bitterly. “How can it be that easy?”

“Patriarch Huanxi is the Great Elder. In terms of seniority, he’s even higher than the Sect Master. The sect’s power is intertwined. If we touch him, the entire sect will shake violently.

“Even if he killed him, would he be able to kill all the other disciples?”

“Moreover, the conflict between the Righteous Path and Devilish Dao is getting more and more intense, and the Sect Master doesn’t want a huge change to happen inside.”

Li Ran rubbed his forehead.

The matter of the Joyous Unity Sect was quite complicated.

In comparison, the disciples and elders of the Youluo Temple were simply like idiots…

He pondered for a moment before asking, “Then they couldn’t kill you this time. Would Patriarch Huanxi attack directly?”

That was a peak Heavenly Tribulation figure. He was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Qin Ruyan frowned slightly. “I don’t think so. The other elders are all staring at him. If he is to take the initiative to attack, he will immediately turn against the Sect Master.

“Furthermore, the Sect Master is about to come out of seclusion. No matter what, he should restrain himself a bit.”

As the two chatted, they walked to the entrance of the restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw that the two of them were extraordinary, he hastily welcomed them with a brilliant smile.

“Please come in, guests. Would you like to stay in the inn?”

Li Ran tossed out a banknote. “Two upper rooms.”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, this inn only has one room left.”

“One room?”

“Come on, let’s go to another one,” Li Ran said helplessly.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, “There’s no need to bother, guest. There are merchants entering the city these past two days, and the other restaurants are definitely full. I’m the only one who has a vacated room.”

Li Ran frowned slightly.

Li Ran frowned.

The streets were indeed crowded with people. They could see a caravan within a few steps. The boss wasn’t lying.

“But not even one room can accommodate two people.”

Cough, cough.

The boss cleared his throat and said with a smile, “My guest, our bed is very big. Even with the two of you, you can even sleep with two more.”

Li Ran was speechless. “……”
