34: Chapter 34 I have retired from evil deeds and will no longer commit evil.
Deep in a dead end, Xie Wantang suddenly realized that everything had started when the grand Formation was broken.
"Wait, Xie Wenyang, after you defected from the Xie Family, the protective Formation of Liuyun Market was changed. How did you break it?"
Xie Wenyang chuckled. "Did I ever say I was the one who broke the Formation?"
"Fellow Daoist Huang, things have come to this. Why not come out and let your former master die with some understanding?"
"Sigh, I, Huang, am used to keeping a low profile. It has been a long time since I have stood out like this. Since Fellow Daoist Xie is so insistent, I will reluctantly come out to meet."
Huang Laifu walked forward with his beer belly, looking smugly at the two daughters of the Xie Family.
"Huang Laifu, it's you?"
Xie Wantang's pale face first froze, then her pupils shrank. "Impossible! Huang Laifu, how could you obtain such core secrets of the market?"
"Nothing is impossible. Money makes the world go round. As long as enough Spirit Stones are paid, loyalty? Conscience? All can be bought."
Xie Yuzhu pointed her slender finger and cursed, "To think my Second Sister wanted to betroth me to you. I really didn't misjudge you, you lewd, bottomless fat pig!"
Xie Wantang was much calmer. Having thought through the sequence of events, she guessed at the few people who could have leaked the secret.
She sighed softly. "Grandfather, you were right. I, Tanger, still underestimated the dangers of the cultivation world."
Seeing that the two women were already subdued,
Huang Laifu, with his hands behind his back, was a bit carried away. "The market treasury is broken. Where is the twenty percent reward you promised? I plan to go get it now."
"Thirty miles to the northeast. Fellow Daoist Huang is really impatient. Why not stay and watch the good show?" Liao Lüyun suggested with a light laugh.
"No, I became brothers with you for money, so naturally we end it with money. From now on, our paths diverge, and we shall not recognize each other!"
Huang Laifu's figure disappeared among the thick green vines.
The next moment,
Xie Wantang flicked her finger, condensing a Water Blade.
"Yuzhu, let's go!"
Having finally recovered some spiritual power, Xie Wantang swung the Water Blade. The green vines were like weeds, being harvested one after another.
She pulled Xie Yuzhu into the gaps between the green vines.
However, the next instant,
Countless green vines climbed onto her and Xie Yuzhu's limbs, sealing their spiritual power.
Then, an unusual flush appeared on the two women's faces.
"Giggle, you can't get away."
Liao Lüyun walked forward, swaying her slender waist.
Xie Wantang's heart sank to the bottom. "What did you do?"
"Hee hee, just added a little aphrodisiac medicine."
Xie Yuzhu said angrily, "You despicable, shameless, lowly bitch! You deserved to have your face ruined by Second Sister back then!"
"Slap!"
Liao Lüyun manipulated a green vine to slap her. "Noisy. You're just an incidental slave girl."
She took a mirror from her armpit and looked at Xie Wantang.
"Giggle, to see the Second Miss of the Xie Family looking like a bitch in heat soon, I am truly fortunate. Fellow Daoist Xie, your plan is really good."
"Don't worry, I will record this image for outsiders to admire."
Xie Wenyang clapped in delight. "Fellow Daoist Liao, good work. Why did my dull brain only think of half of it? If this gets out, where will the Xie Family's face be?"
Wulu was unaffected by their words, pondering in silence.
Their vision became increasingly blurred, and their hearts grew more restless.
Xie Yuzhu's blood was already boiling, heat swallowing her senses. Her skirt brushed against the dusty ground, making a rustling sound.
Xie Wantang didn't give up, trying hard to control her consciousness, but her eyes were also turning grey, unable to find a way to break the situation.
Just as the two women were in despair,
A sudden intervention occurred!
A streak of green light turned direction, passing through the green vines like a phantom shadow.
"What's going on?"
Xie Wenyang, Wulu, and Liao Lüyun discovered the anomaly.
Not just the suddenly changing green light;
The Formation Plates in their hands also stopped obeying them and began to shake violently.
"Whoosh!"
Finally unable to hold on, the plates flew out of their hands, spinning in mid-air.
"Something's wrong!"
Xie Wenyang, with his keen senses, realized the danger.
He suddenly rushed towards the outside of the Formation, so fast that his feet were three feet off the ground.
Wulu was also very alert and followed closely.
However, as they approached the edge of the Formation, several green vines rose from the ground, firmly blocking their path.
At the same time,
The green vines on Xie Wantang and Xie Yuzhu loosened, turning into dots of spiritual power that nourished their limbs and bones.
Xie Wantang was exceptionally clever; the gloom in her beautiful eyes vanished, replaced by a flowing glow.
"Yuzhu, get up quickly, someone has come to save us!"
Simultaneously, she took out a handful of detoxifying Medicinal Pills from her Storage Pouch and threw them into her and Xie Yuzhu's mouths.
The effect was immediate; the scarlet on their faces faded.
Xie Yuzhu wiped her tears and was helped up. Seeing the others frustrated, she felt a sense of unreality.
"This... this isn't a dream, is it?"
"Of course not!"
Xu Changsheng, wearing Lu Yuanze's painted skin, stood on the highest green vine, looking down at everyone.
"It's you, Lu Yuanze!"
"Leader, what are you doing?"
Liao Lüyun and Xie Wenyang's eyes widened, their mouths slightly open, showing expressions of disbelief.
By now, how could they not realize they had fallen into a trap set by Lu Yuanze?
Wulu said nothing, lost in thought.
"Are they having internal strife?" Xie Yuzhu asked Xie Wantang tremulously.
The latter lightly adjusted her hair. "I'm not sure, we need to see more. Once I recover some magic power, we'll take the chance to escape."
"Okay." Xie Yuzhu nodded heavily.
Xu Changsheng ignored everyone's questions and accusations, reaching out to take the green vine sword into his hand.
Feeling the powerful fluctuations from the hilt, his mouth quirked into a roguishly handsome smile.
Xie Wenyang's face was bitter. "First Leader, what are you doing?"
Wulu saw a possibility of turning things around. "If Fellow Daoist Lu likes this green vine sword, just take it. Why bother fighting with us?"
Xu Changsheng was in a great mood.
Grinning to show his pearly white teeth, the scar on his face twitching, he said, "No reason, just that I, Lu, have had a change of heart and decided to wash my hands of this and turn over a new leaf from now on!"
Hearing this,
The group of evil cultivators was completely dumbfounded, as if they had heard the most absurd sentence of their lives.
Liao Lüyun couldn't hold back and roared,
"Lu Yuanze, what nonsense are you talking? The bad things you've done are beyond our reach. You're heinous, heartless, and known as a role model for us Robber Cultivators. Turning over a new leaf? Are you kidding me!"
Xie Wenyang tried to persuade him, "First Leader, there's no going back. We must take down the Xie Family to rebuild the Black Wolf Gang."
Xu Changsheng did not respond, and the green vine sword he held slashed down.
Everyone dared not be careless. Seeing Xu Changsheng really taking action, they all summoned their Magical Artifacts to fight back.
Suddenly, colorful lights exploded among the green vines and the sky full of green swords.
"You two go."
Xu Changsheng controlled the green vines to make a path for the two daughters of the Xie Family.
Xie Wantang's expression was strange as she pulled Xie Yuzhu and gave a deep bow.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for saving our lives. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me!"
