Chapter 276 I Have No Conscience
Chapter 276 I Have No Conscience
"I may be inexperienced, but I'm no fool!" the girl exclaimed, her eyes wide with discontent as she glared at Li Muyang. She felt insulted.
Facing the young spirit girl's dissatisfaction, Li Muyang chuckled nervously, but a sense of relief washed over him.
"So, you're saying this is your own conjecture, and not something your sister or Sect Hierarch Fang told you?"
"They are unaware of this matter?"
Li Muyang asked.
Shen Miao naturally nodded. "Of course, you swore a blood oath in front of them. The blood oaths of the Refinement Demon Sect are unbreakable."
"Once someone betrays the sect or harbors a change of heart, they will meet a gruesome death."
"They are not me; only I know your blood oath did not enter the Sifang Cauldron..."
Shen Miao said, then reassured Li Muyang. "Alright, brother-in-law, don't be nervous. This is known only to heaven, you, and me; my sister and the others don't know."
"Rest for a while. We'll try again. This time, don't be distracted."
Li Muyang looked at her, somewhat surprised. "So, you knew all along that I was an undercover agent from the Demon Sect, yet you treat me so kindly..."
Shen Miao said, "Earlier, I was bound by my father's sorcery, happy even if you had violated me, let alone you being just a Demon Sect undercover."
The young girl fiercely spoke such terrifying words.
"Later, as the Four Symbols Great Array was continuously breached, my emotions grew richer and I grew even less likely to despise you."
"Compared to my greedy, inhuman, scumbag father, you are much more pleasant to my eyes, brother-in-law."
"I'd rather you lead the Refinement Demon Sect into Tianjiao City tomorrow and slaughter all the people of the Refinement Demon Sect."
The young girl continued with her radical statements.
Li Muyang was left speechless by the quick-witted young spirit girl.
"Aren't you worried about your sister's safety, though..."
But the young spirit girl shook her head. "What's there to worry about? My sister is as cunning as a ghost."
"It might seem like she's being pushed around by Fang Yingtian, but she's actually already preparing an exit plan. If something really happens, she'd be the first to run."
"The interesting part will be after my sister leaves and finds out you're a Demon Sect undercover..."
The young spirit girl grinned at Li Muyang, clearly amused. "That will definitely be fun."
"My sister treats you so well, yet you betray her. I wonder if your conscience will hurt."
Li Muyang followed Shen Yan's command without any objections.
Soon, they entered a tunnel secretly excavated inside the mansion under the guidance of a maid sent by Shen Yan. The group passed through the tunnel to another courtyard, where they disguised themselves as a mundane merchant caravan.
Finally, amidst the torrential rain, Li Muyang and his group, disguised as a mundane merchant caravan, began their journey.
Li Muyang sat in the carriage, sharing the space with the unconscious Ruan Mei, silently observing the outside streets through the gaps in the curtains.
Tianjiao City was bustling with commerce. Caravans like theirs braving the rain were not many, but they were not absent either.
The caravan, braving the heavy rain, left the city gate and headed in the predetermined direction.
Bu Hongsheng, Liu Fu, and other law-enforcing disciples almost all followed closely by Li Muyang's side.
"Flag-bearer, is this trip really for treating Elder Ruan's illness..." Liu Fu asked in a low voice, riding his horse alongside the carriage.
Liu Fu, among Li Muyang's law-enforcing disciples, had the keenest sense of smell.
He too had sensed the abnormality of this trip.
Shen Yan was unlikely to undertake something so high-risk and low-reward. Being fiercely loyal, she was even less likely to gamble with her close relatives.
But by this time, Li Muyang had already seen it all too clearly.
Probably since coming back to life, Shen Yan had been planning this escape.
That's why she specifically arranged for Li Muyang, her strongest fighter, to protect Ruan Mei, just for today.
Having Li Muyang guarding the unconscious Ruan Mei was the safest transfer.
Considering this, Li Muyang chuckled and shook his head, "Why bother with so many questions, just follow orders."
Shen Yan escaping brought Li Muyang a certain joy.
Fang Yingtian's aggressive moves in the Blood Lotus Sect left his top strategist utterly disheartened and fleeing.
Although this seemed of no loss to Fang Yingtian, perhaps this was what he had wanted.
Shen Yan's massive prestige within the sect also posed an obstacle to Fang Yingtian's consolidation of power.
By driving Shen Yan away and powerfully subduing other troublemakers, as long as Fang Yingtian still held the miraculous power of the Four Directions Cauldron to bring followers back from the dead, as well as the authority to strip any member of their sect status, his Blood Lotus Sect would continue to thrive.
Unfortunately, Fang Yingtian had not anticipated that the two fundamental pillars of his sect—the ability of the Four Directions Cauldron to resurrect adherents and its power to strip cultivation from the land—were already teetering in the shadows.
Li Muyang closed his eyes, no longer responding to Liu Fu's question.
He entered the game, taking the well-rested Infant Spirit girl once more into the secret terrain, facing the demonized shadows in the sea of blood.
Just by clearing this game, releasing the Infant Spirit girl, the Blood Lotus Sect would lose its most crucial support pillar!
