Chapter 184: The Toxic Love Obsession in Xianxia (46)

Bai Mufeng dared to point his sword at Tie Wei, shocking everyone present!

"Bai Mufeng, so you do have an improper relationship with this woman!"

Tie Wei roared again, blatantly exposing the relationship between Bai Mufeng and Tang Qing.

"Junior Mufeng, put down your sword at once!" Seeing this, Cang Jing sprang into action, landing beside Bai Mufeng in an attempt to knock the Army Breaker Sword from his grasp.

Unexpectedly, the strike failed—the Army Breaker Sword remained firmly in Bai Mufeng's hand.

His patience wearing thin, Cang Jing raised his voice, "Put it down now!"

"Or do you intend to turn against your master and sect?"

The words "turn against your master and sect" seemed to resonate deeply with Bai Mufeng. Finally, the Army Breaker Sword in his hand lowered slightly.

Standing at the center of the tense standoff, Tang Qing observed the bizarre atmosphere in the room without a trace of nervousness. Instead, she let out a mocking laugh. "Bai Mufeng, you're really being polite to me."

"Can't stomach killing me yourself?"

"Didn't you keep insisting you had no feelings for me?"

The stubborn fool!

Didn’t she realize how dire things were? She still couldn’t keep her mouth shut!

The white-bearded elder kept signaling with his eyes, but Tang Qing pretended not to notice. Arms crossed, she stood boldly in the room, her face devoid of any fear or tension.

To Tie Wei, Tang Qing's demeanor was nothing short of flagrant defiance!

Truly a demoness!

Killing in public and spouting such arrogance!

"Bai Mufeng, this is the woman you fancy! Just moments ago, she slaughtered a disciple of our Cloud Ripple Sect in front of everyone!"

"How will you explain this?"

Words failed him. From the very beginning, he had repeatedly urged Tang Qing to hand over the antidote, hoping to send her away quickly...

Now, Tang Qing couldn’t leave.

His gaze slowly drifted toward Tang Qing, the figure he had tried so hard to erase from his mind now seared into his mind.

According to his master’s words...

He was to cut down Tang Qing with his own hands.

At this thought, the usually expressionless Taoist Soldier, his face twisted in bitterness.

Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Bai Mufeng dropped to his knees with a crash!

Tang Qing was also startled! With a heavy thud, Bai Mufeng’s knees struck the ground. "Master," he implored, "I beg you to spare her life."

"The fault... is mine alone."

"Master, I will redouble my cultivation efforts in the future... After decades of service, I ask only for this single boon. I humbly beseech you."

Bai Mufeng’s words came as a complete shock!

Everyone had long grown accustomed to the aloofness of this Taoist Soldier. This was the first—and last—time he had ever pleaded for someone else.

Once untouchable and revered, he had now crashed from his pedestal.

...

Under the crowd’s scrutiny, He Yong remained silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Mufeng, I’ve told you before—enlightenment is the only true path for us cultivators."

"And yet you kneel before me, begging for something as petty as love!"

"Look at what you’ve reduced yourself to!"

His final words rang out like a hammer blow!

This disciple of his had never given him cause for worry before. A natural for the Heartless Way, his progress had been swift—yet in the end, he had succumbed to mere mortal affections.

How could such fleeting emotions ever rival the Heartless Way?

"If you are dissatisfied with my arrangements, the marriage can be called off."

Believing his master would show mercy to Tang Qing, Bai Mufeng abruptly raised his head, "Thank—"

Before his gratitude could fully form, He Yong’s next words sent Bai Mufeng’s heart plummeting into ice, "Everyone here witnessed it—your beloved murdered someone in cold blood."

"Disgraced our sect and conspired with demons! In three days, you’ll execute her with your own hands!"

Bai Mufeng’s eyes widened in shock, "Master!"

"Mufeng, the greater good calls for ruthlessness." He Yong no longer looked at his disciple, speaking slowly, "Once you’ve attained the Dao, Mufeng... you’ll be grateful."

"Tie Wei, seize her at once!"

Finally receiving the order, Tie Wei bared his teeth in a vicious grin, "As you command!"

"Xingfa Hall, to arms!"

"All disciples, heed my order!"

"Take down this witch!"

With the command, multiple fighters rushed Tang Qing at once!

Right as they were closing in—

A sudden, thunderous crash!

Da Mao exploded onto the scene, blocking the first wave of attacks!

"What the hell—?"

The Cloud Ripple cultivators gaped—this was their first glimpse of Tang Qing’s puppet. Da Mao’s massive frame and defenses stunned them all!

Tie Wei recovered first, growling, "Just a puppet! Don’t falter!"

"Raging Sand Palm!"

Tie Wei swiftly formed hand seals, and a faint golden giant palm abruptly materialized before him, hurtling toward Tang Qing!

"Da Mao, go!"

Facing the infamous Iron-faced Executioner of the Cloud Ripple Sect, Tang Qing's eyes showed not a trace of fear—instead, they blazed with unsettling frenzy. "From the very start, you've been nothing but noise."

"What Xingfa Hall, what Ruthless Great Dao—ha! Your Cloud Ripple Sect is just a bunch of hypocrites!"

Seated on Da Mao's shoulder, the puppet moved with astonishing speed!

It charged straight toward Tie Wei's Blasting Sand Palm!

Was this girl out of her mind?

With only early-stage Qi Refining cultivation, how could she possibly face an attack from Xingfa Hall's Elder Tie Wei?

After all, Elder Tie Wei was at the late Golden Core stage!

Cang Jing was also startled by Tang Qing's recklessness. Acting on instinct, he outpaced even Bai Mufeng, arriving beside Tang Qing in an instant.

Just as he was about to pull her out of the attack's range, Tang Qing unexpectedly spurred the puppet to lunge forward even faster!

"You’ve got a death wish?!"

Cang Jing's shout was drowned out as Da Mao slammed into Tie Wei with brutal force!

Everyone expected the puppet to be shattered to pieces—yet again, the impossible happened.

"That thing’s defense is insane!"

A full-force strike from a late Golden Core cultivator, and the puppet didn’t even get a scratch!

How was this possible?

Amidst the crowd's shock, Tie Wei seethed at the humiliation. Failing to eliminate even an early-stage Qi Refining cultivator—what humiliation!

Forming seals once more, Tie Wei roared, "You pathetic brat—"

Before he could finish, something shot into his mouth—

There was no time to react—the pellet had already slid down his throat.

"What is this?!"

Startled, Tie Wei looked up to meet Tang Qing, who smirked down at him, eyes glinting. "Weren't you just accusing me of killing your Cloud Ripple Sect disciple?"

"This is what really happened. Yan Wang Demands Life—thirty minutes, and you’re dead, your power crumbling to dust."

As Tang Qing spoke, a shadow of doubt flashed across Tie Wei's previously arrogant face. "What the hell are you—?"

"I am a late Golden Core cultivator! Do you think some back-alley toxin can—"

Tang Qing’s voice dripped ice: "Guess you’ll see—won't you?"
