129: Chapter 129 In a fit of rage, Situ E rushed to the Hehuan Sect

Seeing Situ E fly into a rage, Liu Rurao struck while the iron was hot, continuing to fan the flames: "Cult Leader, you don't know this, but that male Disciple... is not simple."

"Oh?" Situ E suppressed his anger. "How is he not simple?"

"Although he only has a Qi Refinement Stage cultivation base, his combat power... is extremely bizarre." A flicker of genuine dread flashed in Liu Rurao's eyes. "The ten Core Disciples I brought this time were all elites at the Foundation Establishment Stage or higher, and three of them were even at the Foundation Establishment Stage Late Stage..."

She paused, her voice tinged with "heartache": "Yet, the ten of them joined forces, only to be... completely wiped out by that male Disciple in a single move."

"Completely wiped out in a single move?" Situ E furrowed his brows. "Qi Refinement Stage? Liu Rurao, do you take me for a fool?"

"How would I dare to deceive the Cult Leader?" Liu Rurao said solemnly. "That male Disciple learned a bizarre Formation from somewhere, known as the 'Acetylene Great Array'. Once activated, cyan flames shoot into the sky, and the temperature is terrifyingly high. My ten Disciples... didn't even have time to resist before they turned into ash."

She looked at Fairy Caidie: "Caidie, show Cult Leader Situ the scene at that time using the recording Jade Slip."

Fairy Caidie hurriedly took out a Jade Slip and infused it with spiritual power.

The Jade Slip projected an image—it was precisely the scene on the Law Execution Platform where Xu Ruyu activated the Acetylene Great Array, and the cyan flames instantly engulfed the ten Meiying Sect Disciples!

Although the image was somewhat blurry, the terrifying might of the flames and the ten figures instantly burned to charcoal were clearly visible!

Situ E stared fixedly at the image, his expression shifting uncertainly.

After a long while, he spoke slowly: "This flame... is indeed strange. To be able to unleash a Formation of this power at the Qi Refinement Stage... that little bastard must have a great secret."

"That's not all." Liu Rurao lowered her voice. "Does the Cult Leader know what that male Disciple's name is?"

"What name?"

"Xu, Ru, Yu." Liu Rurao said each word distinctly. "It is said... that Xiao Nianyin named him herself. The 'Ruyu' from 'like a fish in water'."

"Boom—!" The Evil Qi around Situ E erupted completely!

The entire Jile Palace shook violently, and countless white bones fell down with a rustle!

"Like a fish in water... like a fish in water... Good! What a 'like a fish in water'!"

Situ E laughed wildly towards the sky, his laughter filled with violence.

"Xiao Nianyin! You bitch! Back then, when I gave you the Nine Nether Profound Ice Jade, you said 'it is cold and piercing, I'd rather not have it'! Now, you give a little bastard the name 'Ruyu'?! Are you trying to be 'like a fish in water' with him?!"

He looked fiercely at Liu Rurao, the blood-red light in his eyes surging: "Where is that brat now?!"

Liu Rurao was secretly delighted, but she feigned hesitation: "He should... still be at the Hehuan Sect. However, Cult Leader, I advise you to think twice before acting. The Hehuan Sect is, after all, a major sect of the Demonic Path, and Xiao Nianyin is at the Saint Realm. If you rush there rashly..."

"Saint Realm?" Situ E sneered. "If that bitch Xiao Nianyin were in her prime, I might fear her three parts. But now..."

A trace of shrewdness flashed in his eyes: "Liu Rurao, tell me honestly—has something gone wrong with Xiao Nianyin?"

Liu Rurao was startled; she hadn't expected this madman to have moments of careful observation.

She pondered for a moment, then waved her hand, signaling Fairy Caidie and the others to withdraw.

Once only she and Situ E remained in the hall, she lowered her voice and said: "Cult Leader, please take note. Although I suffered a setback at the Hehuan Sect this time, one thing... is very wrong."

"Speak!"

"Xiao Nianyin..." A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Rurao's eyes. "From beginning to end, she did not show herself."

Situ E's pupils constricted.

"Logically, since I visited personally, given Xiao Nianyin's temperament, even if she disliked me, she should have come out to meet me, at least to maintain superficial courtesy," Liu Rurao said slowly. "But this time, she didn't appear from start to finish. Everything was being handled by that male Disciple of hers and a few Elders."

She looked at Situ E, her tone firm: "I am certain—something must have happened to Xiao Nianyin. Either something went wrong with her Cultivation, or... she is seriously injured and unable to see anyone."

The blood-red light in Situ E's eyes flickered, and his breathing grew heavy.

Xiao Nianyin had a problem... unable to see anyone... The obsession of several hundred years instantly burned through his entire body like a wildfire!

"If... if I go to the Hehuan Sect now..." Situ E's voice was hoarse. "Would I be able to... 'bring the beauty home'?"

Liu Rurao sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she feigned concern: "Cult Leader, this matter requires careful consideration. Xiao Nianyin is, after all, of the Saint Realm. If by any chance..."

"If by any chance what?" Situ E interrupted her, a ferocious smile appearing on his face. "Even if nothing happened to her, I still want to go and meet that 'like a fish in water' little bastard!"

"As for Xiao Nianyin..." He licked his lips, his eyes filled with pathological possessiveness. "I have chased her for three hundred years; I have waited long enough. This time, either she obediently follows me back to the Jile Sect to be my mountain stronghold wife... or..."

The Evil Qi around Situ E surged, and he said word by word: "I will destroy her Hehuan Sect and destroy everything she cares about! Including that precious Disciple of hers who is 'like a fish in water'!"

As his voice fell, he turned abruptly and roared at the outside of the hall: "Someone! Muster the troops! Follow me to the Hehuan Sect!"

"I want to see how that bitch Xiao Nianyin hides this time!"

In the Jile Palace, a chorus of responses immediately rang out, and the Evil Qi soared to the heavens.

Liu Rurao stood in the hall, watching Situ E's manic back, a cold smile of success curling at the corners of her mouth.

Xiao Nianyin... Xu Ruyu... You caused my Meiying Sect to suffer heavy losses and lose all face. Now, retribution has arrived.

She turned and quietly exited the Jile Palace with Fairy Caidie and the others.

As for the show that follows, let the madman Situ E sing it.

As for her, Liu Rurao, she only needs to watch from afar... and quietly observe how the Hehuan Sect falls apart in this storm.
