Chapter 170: Chapter 124 Sensitive Topics [4K]_2

"Are you sure the two of us are enough for your senior brother to handle?"

He sighed.

Originally, he thought that with Cen Yueyue’s Cultivation Realm, she could easily overpower that traitor, but after arriving, he discovered that there was such a large Taoist Temple, and what scared him the most was that god knows how many more people or monsters were inside.

But this actually ended up provoking a fiery-tempered, malicious female cultivator. She jumped down from the tree, hands on her hips, puffing up with indignation to retort.

"Can’t you have a little faith in me?"

"When we spar at home, I’m the one who wins. No one of my Cultivation Realm has beaten me yet. Didn’t that crazy hag from your family try to lay a hand on me and Zhuang Zhuang last time? She still got blocked by me in the end."

"Don’t underestimate me. I wasn’t serious back in Yi Village. If I were, that Jakie would’ve been pulverized by me long ago!"

She said, brandishing her claws.

The saying goes: "The appearance reflects the heart." It’s not false, both Cen Yueyue and Cen Zhuangzhuang have decent looks. The former has the appearance of a spoiled... no, more like a pampered young miss.

The latter has the image of an honest and devoted family hound.

Thus, Jiang Feng could only helplessly shake his head, hesitated for a few seconds, then tentatively asked a question.

"Can I ask you about a rather sensitive matter? It’s about you."

He sneakily glanced around to make sure no one was nearby. With a smile mixed with a bit of shyness on his young face, his question made Cen Yueyue’s heart skip a beat.

"...What?"

Confused expression.

Staring blankly at the boy next to her who, despite being younger, was a good half-head taller than herself. Although this bratty kid has a sharp tongue, he seems to be decent. His looks...

Are also passable.

It’s just his realm that is a bit too low, but with such talent, catching up is just a matter of time... What the hell is this old lady thinking about!

She took a deep breath.

Putting on an air of nonchalance, she then smoothed her long hair by her temples.

"Ask away."

Although she’s not particularly interested in younger annoying brothers, a girl ultimately has some vanity. Being pursued is a testament to one’s allure.

She straightened up forcefully, with her plump contours appearing quite tempting. The boy then leaned in closer, lowered his voice, and asked his sensitive question.

"Can you really beat your cousin? He seems to give off a safer vibe. Otherwise, think about it, is there any way to call him over? That way, we’d have a better chance of winning."

"..."

Deep breath.

"Don’t get angry, don’t get angry."

Her chest rose and fell, for a cultivator, eighteen years old is only a fledgling not yet fully grown, but in the secular world, she’s already a young woman, and nearly old enough to have a kid learning to walk.

She had thought about what sensitive question Jiang Feng might ask. It could be asking if she has a sweetheart, or her age this year, or about her family problems, or whether the Cen Family is hiring...

But she never expected it to be this sensitive.

Sensitive enough to make Cen Yueyue’s cheeks flush red, her blood boiling, her fists clenched.

"Let’s go."

She coldly spat out a word.

Before he could react, her slender hand grasped Jiang Feng’s wrist, yanked it, and an unstoppable force dragged him onto the flying sword.

"Wait, you should call your cousin..."

Without giving Jiang Feng any chance to speak, she initiated Sword Flight, shooting across the sky towards Red Flower Temple atop the mountain like a meteor.

In just a brief moment, they soared above, shocking the nearby civilians and those sitting at the Taoist Temple’s entrance into shouts of surprise.

Some screamed about Immortals, others fell to their knees and worshiped, but Cen Yueyue remained expressionless, only to shout down at her feet.

"Hou Zhongxiao, come out!"

The voice was piercing and grating, seemingly capable of shaking one’s soul. The summons caused the robed figures in the Taoist Temple to emerge one after another, their expressions changing instantly upon seeing the sword-wielding woman.

Yet they still yelled towards the woman in the sky.

"How dare such vile scum directly call out the name of an Upper Immortal! Come down here!"

"Upper Immortal?"

Her eyes grew colder as she looked down from above. Filth of all sorts pervaded the Taoist Temple below, including misshapen gu creatures and consumed skeletal remains. Even the marks of Xu Huoyao could be seen on the bodies of the people emerging from within.

Yet unlike those from Yi Village, these marks hadn’t erupted but rather grew freely inside their bodies in a more stable form.

Her gaze remained fixed on those below, and it was evident that the mood of this particular mistress was quite foul. Seeing no response from Hou Zhongxiao, she simply raised her hands, cradling the delicate crown in her palm.

Finally, she uttered a few words without expression.

"Heavenly Gang Beidou Seal!"

"Damn!"

Ducking his head.

Huge logs and broken bricks swept past just above his scalp.

The terrifying blast destroyed the entire perimeter wall and the gate, the self-proclaimed Immortal Envoys volunteering to serve the limit were directly blown away by the shockwave.

The surrounding commoners fled in terror, for mortals could not bear the brunt of battling deities. With Cen Yueyue as the epicenter, a radius of twenty meters was practically leveled, the burst of formidable Spiritual Energy left some people completely dumbstruck.

"Seriously, does this woman have such a strong desire to win?"

"All I did was ask if your strong and burly brother could come over and help, is there any need for this? The key thing is, that bro is brawny and rough, ripping apart gu creatures by hand, he indeed looks safer compared to your slender arms and legs."

"You truly are my ancestor, your realm is high, you can forcefully barge in, I can’t keep up with that!"

He shrank his head, taking the opportunity to bail when Cen Yueyue had pulled him down just moments ago.

Having personally experienced cases of women being unreasonably provocative in the past, he could completely guess this woman’s line of thinking. Sure enough, the little miss resorted to the stupidest method of frontal assault, full of confidence in her own strength.

He realized it was probably because of his earlier remarks that were somewhat unpleasant, which made the little ancestor erupt on the spot, causing Spiritual Energy to surge, and with that single strike, those seven or eight Immortal Envoys were killed on the spot...

"No, that’s not right."

His face turned serious, and soon those in white began to twist their bodies and stand up from the rubble. Some were completely twisted like rope, others had their heads broken and bathed in blood.

However, they showed no signs of death, their wounds healing at a visible rate and even the twisted bones made crackling sounds as they rejoined, their recovery power even more terrifying than that of the escaping gu creature!

"The hell, I knew you were feigning treatment here just to tinker with that Xu Huoyao... Hou Zhongxiao, when did your uncle ever teach you to cultivate gu using common folk?"

Her cold, stern shout carried an unmistakable rage.

Even herself and her father would never use such a thing on humans, for it was far too malicious. Not to mention, it could lead to loss of humanity or turning into zombies, just the fact that Xu Huoyao fed on flesh was enough to sentence Hou Zhongxiao to death.

No matter how honest he seemed in the family before, now the southern part of the state was in chaos because of him, especially causing disgrace to his family and the Southern Border.

"Ravings of an Enchantress!"

"The Upper Immortal saves all beings; it’s thanks to the Upper Immortal’s compassion that we brothers survive to this day."

"Capture her, capture her! Drug her!"

"Drug her, drug her, drug her..."

Murmuring something repeatedly, these eight individuals seemed to have changed completely after experiencing the powerful shockwave just now, their bodies overtaken by the spread of bright red Gu Worms. Only Cen Yueyue was unsurprised by any of these changes.

Because that’s just what Xu Huoyao is like.

Under normal conditions, it could lie dormant in the host body, but once stimulated by external forces or if it sensed hunger, it would erupt at a terrifying speed.

Regardless of the host’s willpower, once Xu Huoyao erupted inside the body, one would turn into a mindless zombie, driven only to consume flesh to feed the internal Gu Worms.

Their expressions were ferocious, the clarity in their eyes fading, but the next moment, a deep male voice came from afar.

"Junior sister, long time no see, yet your fiery temper hasn’t changed."
