FVN Chapter 178 I Will Remember You
Chapter 178 I Will Remember You
In the dimly lit courtyard by the lake, the air fell silent for a moment.
Li Muyang cast a glance at the spirited, masculine-dressed woman before him, furrowing his brows slightly.
Lately, he had been busy cracking down on the followers of the Blood Lotus Cult and had almost forgotten about the affairs of Chaotic Soul Valley.
After all, before the crackdown on the Blood Lotus Cult, the old Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley had already knelt and surrendered, retrieving his daughter from the prison.
Since her release, the young Valley Mistress of Chaotic Soul Valley and her father had been quiet and inconspicuous for the past month.
Li Muyang, a middle-ranking member of the Demon Sect, didn't have the opportunity to interact with her on normal days and had almost forgotten about her.
Yet, to his surprise, they met again at this victory banquet.
And she even took the initiative to strike up a conversation...
Li Muyang felt that something was amiss.
But upon hearing Li Muyang's questioning, the woman chuckled coldly.
She scrutinized Li Muyang from head to toe as though sizing up a corpse.
"Master Li, I said I would remember you."
"I greatly appreciate the care you've shown me during my time in prison. If there's a chance in the future, I will certainly repay your kindness and not disappoint you," she said.
Having said that, the woman left with a cold laugh.
Her strange attitude left Li Muyang frozen.
What is going on with this madwoman... You're that bold?
It was bad enough that she made such an unexpected and confrontational appearance, but then she left behind such a veiled threat... What is this woman trying to do?
Something is not right!
Totally not right!
This madwoman's confidence surely doesn't stem from insanity — even madness has its own principles!
After pondering with furrowed brows for a moment, Li Muyang left the courtyard and headed towards the inner court.
By this time, the victory banquet had entered its latter half, with guests and hosts intermingling in a lively atmosphere.
Ning Wan'er and her younger sister, Li Yuechan, were in the inner court, where Ning Wan'er had gathered some female disciples and the ladies of Tianjiao City officials. The girls were happily sipping tea and sharing amusing stories.
While the men of the front hall were making a ruckus, the inner court was filled with the laughter of the women.
Until Li Muyang's abrupt arrival disrupted the merriment.
And with the loss of three city territories and such a heavy price paid, it was impossible for Chaotic Soul Valley to be without resentment.
But on the Demon Path, it is the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. Chaotic Soul Valley was weak and gave others leverage; Refinement Demon Sect taking advantage during their misfortune was considered natural and justified.
Even if the Demon Sect bullies you, what can you do? Does Chaotic Soul Valley dare to rebel?
If Chaotic Soul Valley were to rebel, the Demon Sect might be even happier.
After all, the flesh, tendons, bones, and even souls of Demon Path cultivators are all high-quality materials for refining demons!
Exterminating a Chaotic Soul Valley, the Sect would not know how many benefits it could reap.
Theoretically, Chaotic Soul Valley should not dare to rebel.
But that is only in theory.
Upon hearing Li Yuechan's reminder, Ning Wan'er's eyes suddenly grew sharp.
"Does Chaotic Soul Valley dare to be so brazen?"
The old Valley Master of Chaotic Soul Valley was only in the Spirit Travel Realm and did not possess any top-tier demonic cultivation techniques.
He simply did not have the qualifications or the ability to rebel!
Yet, Li Muyang slowly said, "I remember Chaotic Soul Valley had contact with the followers of the Blood Lotus Sect before."
"And this time, the conspiracy of the Blood Lotus Sect was thwarted too easily..."
Li Muyang had felt something was odd all along.
The Blood Lotus Sect, a notorious force in this world, stirring up trouble in the territory of the Refinement Demon Sect, and even bringing out an Ancient Immortal Artifact.
Yet, with just Yan Xiaoru and the City Lord of Tianjiao City, two in the Spirit Travel Realm, the Demon Sect managed to thwart the conspiracy of the Blood Lotus Sect and successfully captured the Ancient Immortal Artifact.
——If the Blood Lotus Sect was so weak, how could it possibly cause such headaches for the various powers in both the immortal and demonic paths!?
That's an Ancient Immortal Artifact; the Refinement Demon Sect facing such a level of treasure would have all elders out in force, fearful of the slightest mishap.
Yet the Blood Lotus Sect only dispatched a single Spirit Travel Realm master to take charge of the affairs in Tianjiao City... Now looking back, everything seemed amiss.
Ning Wan'er's expression changed slightly, "Could it be that the Blood Lotus Sect and Chaotic Soul Valley had colluded long ago, and the easy breakdown of the Blood Lotus Sect is part of their scheme?"
The specifics of the conspiracy were unclear, but the situation indeed seemed odd.
As everything linked together, Ning Wan'er couldn't help feeling anxious.
"I'll go meet with Master and inform her of this matter!"
Although the likelihood of Chaotic Soul Valley and the Blood Lotus Sect truly conspiring together and setting a trap was low, they could not be careless.
