Liang Xingcheng was so angry that he shoved them aside and then shouted angrily at the entrance of the herb garden.

"You brat, I'm not done with you about this."

After saying that, he left with a resentful expression.

After they left, Meng Yu expressed her sincere gratitude to Su Chun.

"Senior Sister Su, you saved me again. I really don't know how to repay you."

Su Chun gently shook her head.

"Did they deliberately lure you to the herb garden?"

Su Chun's reminder made Meng Yu realize quickly that, indeed, with her cultivation level, how could she possibly escape?

"This? Me?"

Meng Yu knew that she was probably being used as a pawn by Liang Xingcheng.

“Junior Sister Meng, if you really don’t want to cultivate with this Liang Xingcheng, I suggest you leave the Xuan Yue Sect. Otherwise, given his current status, you can’t keep refusing him, and I can’t keep protecting you.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Yu revealed a bitter expression.

"If I leave the Xuan Yue Sect, where can I go?"

Su Chun had no choice but to accept this.

“Senior Sister Su, I took advantage of you three years ago, but three years later, you forgive me and save me again. I was really naive back then. Don’t worry, if he comes looking for trouble again, I’d rather commit suicide than cause you any more trouble.”

After sighing, Meng Yu solemnly assured Su Chun.

Looking at Meng Yu's expression, Su Chun understood that Meng Yu was serious and was no longer using the same rhetoric as before.

Over the past three years, only Meng Yu has had frequent contact with her. Even if they are not friends, they are still acquaintances with whom she has a good relationship.

She couldn't stand by and watch Meng Yu be humiliated by Liang Xingcheng. She felt that since she had already completely fallen out with Liang Xingcheng, she might as well go all the way.

Without evidence, what could Liang Xuance do to her given her status? After all, she still had Xiao Mei as a trump card.

“Junior Sister Meng, there’s no need to say any more. I understand. You should go back. If Liang Xingcheng causes you any more trouble, contact me immediately. I’m already at odds with him and can no longer extricate myself from the situation.”

These words made Meng Yu feel even more guilty and ashamed.

"Alright, then I'll stand with Senior Sister Su through thick and thin."

Meng Yu outwardly agreed with Su Chun's idea, but inwardly she had other options.

Chapter 12 Solo Rescue

Meanwhile, Liang Xingcheng, having been humiliated by Su Chun, angrily went to a cave dwelling of the Xuan Yue Sect.

"Uncle-Master Gu, are you there?"

Looks like this guy's come to call for reinforcements.

As his voice faded, a woman's voice echoed from inside the cave.

"Oh, it's Xingcheng. What brings you here?"

Liang Xingcheng immediately embellished his story and told the woman about what had just happened.

After listening, the woman did not give an immediate reply. She was not an idiot; she knew Liang Xingcheng's character very well.

If the other party dares to disrespect him and oppose him, it means that the other party also has powerful backers.

Therefore, she definitely needs to ask clearly before she can just stick her neck out for someone else.

Although her master asked her to take care of Liang Xingcheng, these are two different things.

She certainly couldn't afford to offend someone she couldn't afford to offend, all for the sake of others.

After a moment of silence, the cave door opened, and a female cultivator in her twenties strolled out and came to Liang Xingcheng's side.

This female cultivator is Gu Xiaoyue, the disciple of the Grand Elder Liang Xuance, and is a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Upon seeing Gu Xiaoyue emerge, Liang Xingcheng adopted an even more humble posture.

"Xingcheng, it's not impossible for me to help you get revenge, but the problem is you have to tell me the truth. She shouldn't be a disciple without a background, right?"

Liang Xingcheng was embarrassed. He knew that Gu Xiaoyue could see through his thoughts, so he honestly told her about Su Chun's situation.

Gu Xiaoyue's expression changed after hearing this.

"This Su Chun, was he brought into the sect by Senior Uncle Yue? How come you dare to offend just anyone?"

Although Yue Ningxuan has gone into seclusion, she may not be able to come out alive.

But what if the other party successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage? In that case, neither she nor Liang Xuance would be able to withstand the other party's wrath.

"Uncle Gu, I didn't provoke her. She was just being nosy and ruining my plans. I..."

Gu Xiaoyue immediately raised her hand to interrupt Liang Xingcheng.

"There's no need to bring this up again. There are so many female cultivators in the sect, why does it have to be that Meng Yu? Let's find someone else. Don't give her to us, or Master will get into trouble. Go back."

Gu Xiaoyue refused to stand up for Liang Xingcheng on the spot.

Having run out of options, Liang Xingcheng immediately went to find other acquaintances.

The result was that neither of Xuan Ce's two disciples stood up for him, mainly because they all felt that the deal was too risky and not worth it.

"Damn it! I refuse to believe that no one is willing to help me."

In the cultivation world, most cultivators are still intelligent, but not everyone weighs the pros and cons.

Liang Xuance's disciple was unwilling to help, so Liang Xingcheng went to find a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had no backing.

He found a Foundation Establishment cultivator named He Lan.

He Lan's residence.

"Oh? A mere Qi Refining Level 12 disciple dares to oppose you, Junior Nephew Liang? Very well, I can stand up for you."

He Lan was talking to Liang Xingcheng with a smile on her face.

"Uncle He, aren't you going to ask if this person has any connections?"

Liang Xingcheng reminded He Lan.

But He Lan shook her head directly.

"No need. He's just a mere Qi Refining disciple. As long as he dies under mysterious circumstances, even if he's related to a senior uncle or master, so what?"

Liang Xingcheng smiled; he had finally found someone to help him.

“Alright, let’s call this person Su Chun. I hope you can capture him and send him to the place I’m designating.”

He Lan nodded, indicating that it was possible, but Liang Xingcheng needed to lure the person out of the sect's territory, as even he couldn't make a move within the sect.

"Of course, He Lan certainly didn't help Liang Xingcheng deal with Su Chun for nothing; he also wanted something in return."

Liang Xingcheng naturally had to pay a certain price.

What he didn't see was that He Lan, who was watching him leave, had a cold look in her eyes.

After the deal was finalized, Liang Xingcheng returned to his residence.

But when he returned, he found someone standing at the door of his residence, and it was Meng Yu.

Meng Yu's arrival puzzled him.

"Oh, Meng Yu? What brings you here all of a sudden?"

When Meng Yu saw Liang Xingcheng return, she took a deep breath and then spoke to Liang Xingcheng.

"Senior Brother Liang, I've made up my mind. I'm willing to offer my primordial yin to you. However, I hope you won't cause any more trouble for Senior Sister Su. She was only trying to help me."

Liang Xingcheng was surprised.

However, on his way back, he was just wondering how to lure Su Chun out of the sect.

Meng Yu's arrival, in fact, gave him an opportunity to lure out Su Chun.

"Hehe! You've come at the right time."

As he spoke, Liang Xingcheng suddenly raised his hand to stop Meng Yu.

The sudden attack caused Meng Yu's expression to change.

"Senior Brother Liang, what are you doing? I've already said I'm willing to offer up my primordial yin."

Liang Xingcheng gave a cold laugh.

"You think I really coveted your primordial yin?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yu's face turned even uglier. She suddenly had a bad feeling that she had done something wrong with good intentions.

She wanted to say something more, but Liang Xingcheng cast a spell that prevented her from saying anything further.

At the same time, he also found a disciple's token on Meng Yu's body, which could be used to communicate with other disciples within a certain range.

Upon seeing the token, Liang Xingcheng revealed a sinister smile.

"Tsk tsk, Su Chun, you are the best vessel for my breakthrough to Foundation Establishment."

The Mysterious Maiden Embracing the Moon Technique that Su Chun cultivates is the best Yang-style cultivation method of the Mysterious Moon Sect. If Liang Xingcheng can absorb Su Chun's essence, then breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage will be a sure thing.

He would stop at nothing to achieve his goal of building a foundation.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Around 11 or 12 at night, Su Chun suddenly received a distress message from Meng Yu.

"Senior Sister Su, come quickly to Stone Forest to save me."

Meng Yu's cries for help came from the token.

Su Chun's expression changed. She quickly stood up and flew away from the herb garden towards the stone forest area outside the Xuan Yue Sect.

But just as they were about to enter the stone forest area, Su Chun suddenly stopped.

"No, why would Meng Yu be in the Stone Forest? If she was captured at the sect and brought to the Stone Forest, how could she have asked me for help? There's something fishy going on."

Su Chun belatedly realized that something was amiss.

She could choose to return to the herb garden and not fall for their trick, but the fact that they were able to obtain Meng Yu's identity token meant that Meng Yu had indeed been captured.
