Chapter 1186 - Chapter 1186 Chapter 1190 Autumn Gifts Fate

Chapter 1186: Chapter 1190: Autumn Gift’s Fate Chapter 1186: Chapter 1190: Autumn Gift’s Fate After pondering for a while, Zhu Minglang suddenly realized that the main reason he was able to make a full retreat was because of the appearance of Linghu Ling.

So it seems that as long as he found Linghu Ling and got her to deal with Lu Wu, who was hiding in the sandy area, or let Linghu Ling arrive a bit earlier.

In conversation with Linghu Ling, Zhu Minglang learned that she had been following Lu Wu these days.

Lu Wu’s actions were suspicious, Linghu Ling had realized this when they were dealing with the Evil Sword Sect, so after leaving Yuheng Star Palace, Linghu Ling had been investigating these people from Lu Wu’s faction.

It turned out that the Yuheng Star Goddess was really too indolent, which led to her sword immortals having their own ideas long ago.

There was still plenty of time, and knowing everyone’s trajectory, Zhu Minglang only needed to intercept them on the way before going to bring Zheng Yu back. But first, he had to find Linghu Ling.

…

He went to the border between White Earth and Green Water where Tian Shu and Yuheng now bordered each other completely. This area had become exceedingly prosperous in a short time. Many cities had been established on the original borders, and the various resources of the two divine territories were traded here, also resulting in an overall increase in strength for the cultivators.

Zhu Minglang arrived at Green Water and found Linghu Ling in a Green Water Town.

Linghu Ling was wearing very simple clothing, indistinguishable from any ordinary female sword cultivator. Such a great sword immortal hid among the common folk and ended up being teased by cultivators from prestigious factions.

Zhu Minglang approached her, and before he could even show his manliness, Linghu Ling had already demonstrated her superior swordsmanship, scaring those male cultivators into a scatter.

“Zhu Minglang, why are you here?” Linghu Ling looked at him puzzled, a glint of joy and surprise in her eyes.

Even in plain clothes, Linghu Ling’s appearance was pleasing to the eyes. Recalling how unyieldingly she carried herself in Tian Shu God City, Zhu Minglang felt a mixture of pity and bitterness in his heart.

Ultimately, it was his lack of strength and caution that led many outstanding women to perish with him in Tian Shu God City.

“What’s wrong, is… is there something on my face?” Linghu Ling noticed Zhu Minglang’s odd look and subconsciously wiped her cheeks with her sleeve.

“Are you tracking Lu Wu?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Yes, since you’ve also found your way here, you must be aware that the Evil Sword Sect we were initially tracking is not just a hidden part within the Earth Sword Sect,” Linghu Ling said.

“Oh?” Zhu Minglang raised an eyebrow.

“Our Yuheng Star Palace has probably been heavily infiltrated by the Evil Sword Sect. It’s not just Lu Wu; most of the other sword immortals are likely involved… Even our Yuheng Star Palace might have become an old den of the Evil Sword Sect without our knowledge,” Linghu Ling revealed her speculation.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

Linghu Ling’s speculation was entirely correct.

Originally, when members of Yuheng Star Palace led by Meng Bingci came to assist and considering they couldn’t just wait to die in Xuange Country Capital, they changed their strategy and went directly to Tian Shu God City to assassinate Hua Chou.

The sword masters of Yuheng Star Palace were supposed to provide them with strong support. The loose gods recruited by Hua Chou could not possibly be a match for Yuheng Star Palace, but their whereabouts in the god city were known clearly by the enemy, and some disciples under Meng Bingci also exhibited rebellious behavior. This caused the sword masters of Yuheng Star Palace, led by Meng Bingci, to suffer greatly in the god city!

Even Linghu Ling herself was wounded by her own sect mates, leading to their eventual dead-end situation.

The Evil Sword Sect was not just a small parasite in the territory of God Yuheng. Its true leader was among the Four Great Sword Immortals.

The black-robed sword master who appeared outside Nan Lingsha’s painting realm with the North Palace Sword Immortal Xi Ji was the Black Sect Hierarch, one of the three main hierarchs of the Evil Sword Sect.

The other two were the Red Sect Hierarch and the Green Sect Hierarch.

Their strength was no less than that of the Four Great Sword Immortals, and they were the terrible leaders controlling the dark forces within Yuheng Star Palace!

The emergence of these powerful members of the Evil Sword Sect dealt a heavy blow to those going to assassinate Hua Chou, and Zhu Minglang also needed to find a way to deal with them in the days to come.

“Although the Yuheng Star Goddess may have perished, we can’t help but criticize her. She indeed was not a wise goddess in management. The power of the Evil Sword Sect grew right under her nose, infiltrating most of the sword sects and palaces. They have three hierarchs, each with strength comparable to a sword immortal…” Zhu Minglang no longer kept it a secret and told Linghu Ling about the Evil Sword Sect.

In the past, when the Yuheng Star Goddess was alive, the Evil Sword Sect could only hide in the shadows because as a being of the God King Level, no matter how powerful the Evil Sword Sect became, they could not withstand the wrath of the Yuheng Star Goddess.

But the Extinguish God Sect had long plotted to eliminate the North Dipper Seven Star Gods, so naturally, after the Yuheng Star Goddess perished, they began to take over the territory of God Yuheng.

Meng Bingci had too short a tenure as the god head. She tried her best to control and realized the internal problems of Yuheng Star Palace, but ultimately it was difficult to change, as the Evil Sword Sect had been too deeply rooted for many years!

However, in Zhu Minglang’s view, this was also related to the Yuheng Star Goddess herself.

One of the sources of the Evil Sword Sect was the God of Evil Wishes, Hong Mo.

Even the Yuheng Star Goddess herself had made deals with Hong Mo, making her complicit with the Evil Sword Sect.

“Is all you’ve said true?” Linghu Ling was greatly shocked after hearing this.

The secrets she had uncovered were just the tip of the iceberg???

Zhu Minglang nodded in confirmation.

At that moment, Zhu Minglang reminisced about those cunning young Sword Masters from the Earth Sword Sect, who had discovered the Earth Sword Sect’s secrets.

Little did they know that like those young Sword Masters, what they had uncovered was merely the tip of the iceberg. If not for the Realm of Foresight, nobody would have imagined the Evil Sword Sect’s secrets to be buried so deep!

“What should we do now?” After a long pause, Linghu Ling finally calmed her emotions. Even knowing the formidable and terrifying enemy they faced this time, Linghu Ling still showed no signs of retreat.

“Hong Mo holds extensive Divine Skills, and he has indeed propelled the entire Evil Sword Sect to its peak. As the leader of the Extinguish God Sect, his methods are hard to prevent. We need to ask someone to confront him… This journey will be perilous. Without the Sword Spirit Dragon by my side, I need you to protect me in the shadows,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Okay, I’ll follow you,” Linghu Ling nodded in agreement.

…

The God Xuange certainly did not anticipate Linghu Ling’s involvement, which led to the failed hunt at the base of Mount Wu Yang.

The changes in Linghu Ling’s actions would not affect the overall course of events.

Moreover, now that the true face of the Evil Sword Sect was known, Linghu Ling’s tracking would just be a waste of time. It would be better to accompany and protect each other in secret.

On his way to Kaiyang, Zhu Minglang used the beads of the Evil Fallen Buddha as a deterrent, entering the crossroads of the Underworld again and boarding the stream of time.

This greatly shortened the travel time, allowing Zhu Minglang to accomplish one more thing – a “carrot and stick” approach!

Truthfully, Zhu Minglang did not hold much affection for Autumn Gift; she was the typical bubble sister. To Zhu Minglang, confronting her would probably be a bit more brutal: intimidation, threats, making her understand the consequences of going against his will, and finally branding her with the Curse of the God Servants, where even the slightest dissent in her heart would lead to only one outcome!

In fact, for Zhu Minglang to go to Tianxuan now and find an opportunity to easily kill Autumn Lu, dealing with someone like Autumn Gift, who had the Divine Monarch Cultivation Base, was even simpler.

Having arrived at the Tian Xuan Divine Church, Zhu Minglang discovered something quite interesting.

Autumn Lu was the God’s Head of the Tian Xuan Divine Church, and the Tian Xuan Divine Church was holding a grand wedding ceremony for the God’s Head Autumn Lu and the young clan leader of the Su Family, Su Yuan.

Tianxuan and Tian Ji had always thought of intermarriage, for instance, Autumn Gift had an engagement with Su Chun, but after Su Chun’s path to immortality was severed by Zhu Minglang, this fellow had been eclipsed by rising talents and no longer appeared in the current surge of gods.

The wedding adhered to very ancient etiquette, where the bride and groom could not meet in front of their marital chamber.

Alas, the young clan leader Su Yuan was quite unrestrained, secretly meeting with someone in Bamboo Forest on the eve of his wedding.

And that person was Autumn Gift.

In the Bamboo Forest, the indecent sounds of the man and woman made Zhu Minglang, hiding aside, curse: “Such beasts, having their way with sisters!”

Linghu Ling had turned her face away, unsure why Zhu Minglang could watch so intently while cursing at the same time.

“Have you seen enough?” Linghu Ling finally couldn’t help but speak up.

“I’m just collecting evidence; I really don’t want to sully my eyes,” Zhu Minglang responded.

“How can this be collecting evidence?” Linghu Ling asked, puzzled.

“I have a Divine Skill that can summon the three souls of heaven, earth, and man of the gods. Clearly, these two have done something shameful to their ancestors. I can capture their Earth Soul for signature and thumbprint; my eyes will be the ironclad evidence in the public trial,” Zhu Minglang explained.

“Oh,” Linghu Ling felt something was off about Zhu Minglang but couldn’t pin down any faults.

It never crossed her mind.

The lives of the Immortal God Clan were so chaotic.

However, from the intimate conversations between the two, Zhu Minglang roughly understood the love affair between Autumn Gift and Su Yuan.

Initially, for the intermarriage, Su Yuan was attracted to the sister Autumn Gift, with whom he had exchanged flirty glances. However, since Autumn Gift’s Cultivation Base was far inferior to her elder sister Autumn Lu, and both families wished for the union between God’s Head and clan leader to help the two great Immortal Houses overcome difficulties together, it resulted in a marriage agreement between sister Autumn Lu and Su Yuan, leaving sister Autumn Gift bound to marry Su Chun.

Autumn Gift held a grudge in her heart but had to comply with the divine church’s arrangements and succumb to her sister Autumn Lu, who had become the God’s Head.

With such a layer of love and hate entanglement, Zhu Minglang felt that turning Autumn Gift would be all too easy.

“Don’t worry, once I become the Tian Ji God, I will marry you for sure. By then, your sister won’t be able to object,” Su Yuan said.

Although Autumn Gift said nothing, one could see from her eyes that she was unwilling to be the lesser.

She was not content with her sister’s domineering love theft.
