530: White is black

“You stinking Immortal King, cough cough, I didn’t see you here just now. It was my fault for being blind. Please don’t be angry. I’ll leave now!”

With that, Lu Tu Immortal King intended to slip away, but his speed was far inferior to Maggot Celestial King’s. Maggot Celestial King took a step forward, grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him back.

“What? Weren’t you just spouting nonsense, saying you’d swallow a handful of maggots? Why are you trying to escape now?”

Maggot Celestial King asked coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“This… this… this was just my impulsive nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart! It’s my fault. I apologize to you here and hope you can forgive me!” Lu Tu Immortal King quickly said with a forced smile, secretly lamenting in his heart.

In the Immortal Realm, the one person least to be provoked was this Maggot Celestial King, who had achieved the Dao through ‘stench’.

He didn’t want to explain anything about this; the reason for it all could be summarized in eight words:

A broomstick stained with shit, Lu Bu in the world!

This Maggot Celestial King was the most troublesome existence for all Immortal Kings and even Immortal Emperors, besides the three supreme gods. Relying on his Dao of Stench, he made all the immortals in the Immortal Realm tremble with fear, and no one dared to provoke him.

It’s just that, Time Immortal Venerable clearly found this person disgusting, so why did it call him over? Could it be just to disgust Chen Xuan?

“Hmph, apologize? If apologizing worked, what would we need heavenly principles for?”

Maggot Celestial King sneered and continued:

“However, seeing as you’re somewhat sensible, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you can complete a task I assign, I’ll let you go.”

“What task? Please tell me, I will do my best to complete it!” Lu Tu Immortal King quickly replied, his heart filled with unease.

“It’s simple. Either you formally apologize to the Maggot clan in front of all of us and compensate my clan for our losses. Or… you bring me Chen Xuan’s head, otherwise, your fate will be the same as theirs!”

With that, Maggot Celestial King pointed into the distance, where a group of Lu Tu Immortal King’s subordinates, tightly bound, appeared. At this moment, their faces were filled with terror and despair.

It’s over! It’s completely over! Today, I’ve truly stepped in it!

When Lu Tu Immortal King saw this scene, his heart trembled. He knew that this time, he had truly gotten into big trouble.

“I… I’ll go do it right away. Don’t worry, I will do my best to get this done as quickly as possible!” Lu Tu Immortal King quickly agreed, then prepared to perform this arduous apology in front of everyone.

Only after he finished apologizing did Maggot Celestial King let out a cold laugh, then turned to look at Yu Qingcheng and the others beside him.

“Young Miss Yu, I’ve made you laugh. Now you can rest assured and search for Chen Xuan. With my help here, I believe you will find him very soon…”

As Maggot Celestial King spoke, he suddenly found no one in front of him.

“…”

In a more distant part of the mine, Yu Qingcheng, who had originally disappeared, suddenly reappeared like a ghost.

Appearing with her were Mu Qingfeng and Zheng Yaqin, who was in a coma.

At this moment, Yu Qingcheng’s beautiful face was slightly pale. Her slender, jade-white hands were gently caressing her chest, as if she had just experienced an extremely terrifying nightmare.

“Damn it! I was really scared to death! I almost… almost had to see that… that so-called Maggot Celestial King with my own eyes!” Yu Qingcheng said with lingering fear, her words revealing unconcealable terror.

In her heart, just thinking about taking a look at that nauseating Maggot Celestial King made her feel it was a great blasphemy and disrespect to her beautiful eyes.

“Alright, Revered Master, while there are no outsiders here, let me report the situation to you. Chen Xuan… I found him.”

“What? You found him? Then why didn’t you teleport him here?”

“Alas, Revered Master, you don’t know! The situation was extremely urgent at the time. I originally wanted to safely teleport him here, but he mistakenly thought I had ulterior motives and ill intentions, and without a word, he fiercely attacked me, as if he wanted to put me to death.

Moreover, this guy is very cunning! He actually launched a surprise attack when I was completely unprepared, which really caught me off guard!”

“Ah? How could Chen Xuan’s character be so bad?” Yu Qingcheng’s face was filled with astonishment.

“Isn’t that right! Revered Master, I was hit by his sudden sneak attack and was disoriented, completely unable to react. In that instant, Chen Xuan frantically absorbed my essence blood, as if he wanted to drain all the Life Qi from my body!

And what’s more hateful is that he used the large amount of essence blood he took from me…” At this point, Mu Qingfeng deliberately paused, creating suspense.

As expected, Yu Qingcheng was already fuming with anger, her delicate brows tightly furrowed, and she pouted, “Continue, Feng’er, don’t keep your Revered Master in suspense!”

Seeing this, Mu Qingfeng secretly rejoiced and continued to describe, “He used the essence blood plundered from me to greatly increase his strength, and after that, he became even more reckless. Not only that, he even tried to kill me. If it weren’t for my good fortune, I’m afraid I would have died in Yellow Springs by now!”

After Mu Qingfeng’s exaggerated account, Yu Qingcheng gritted her teeth in anger and said indignantly:

“So that Chen Xuan is such a despicable, shameless, insidious, and cunning person! Hmph, for someone so morally corrupt, it’s better not to save him! It just so happens that your mother just came up the mountain to visit us, we should hurry over to welcome her!”

Before her words fell, Yu Qingcheng gently waved her jade hand, and a dazzling ray of light instantly shone forth, enveloping Mu Qingfeng and his group.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from their original spot, leaving the area via spatial teleportation.

As for how to explain this matter to Purple Spirit Goddess, Yu Qingcheng naturally already had a plan in mind.
