Starting with summoning the succubus

For example, you, Li Chengwen… Sigh, Li Chengwen, you didn't have to die.”

Shangguan Xue looked at Li Chengwen on the ground and said helplessly, "After all, I don't really have many followers like you who are willing to spend money. I feel bad about losing you... but there's nothing I can do. Yun Muzhi just won't take the bait."

The original plan was very simple: all that was needed was for Zhang Shi to die.

Li Chengwen, you really have terrible luck. If Yun Muzhi had killed Zhang Shi under my guidance at the beginning, you wouldn't have had to die.

After all, Yun Muzhi, who personally killed Zhang Shi, will be branded as a traitor for murdering his fellow disciples under my influence, and will never be able to return to the sect in this lifetime.

Unfortunately, the plan failed.

So I have no choice but to activate the backup plan, which is to kill you, Li Chengwen.

After I return to the sect, I will report to Elder Jiang that Yun Muzhi, that scum who once defiled my master's wife, has not changed his ways and suddenly attacked me after the Qingshui Village incident ended, attempting to rape me... and the injury to my leg is the most powerful evidence.

Earlier in the cave, Yun Muzhi stabbed my right leg with his sword. Although I had temporarily healed the injury, I deliberately left a wisp of sword energy remaining on the wound.

Yun Mu's master was Xuan Cang Daoist, and he used the Xuan Cang Sword Technique. That wisp of Xuan Cang sword energy was almost impossible to fake.

Therefore, this sword wound on my right leg will be the most powerful evidence that Yun Muzhi injured me and attempted to rape me.

However, Yun Muzhi did not actually get what he wanted.

Shangguan Xue smiled at Li Chengwen on the ground as she said this, "Because I have you, my good senior brother. When Yun Muzhi stabbed my leg and tried to rape me, you stood up and fought a life-or-death battle with Yun Muzhi. In the end, you sacrificed yourself to stop Yun Muzhi's scumbag behavior and allowed me to escape Qingshui Village successfully... Senior Brother Li Chengwen~ You died at Yun Muzhi's hands, and I will definitely beg the sect to avenge you. You're welcome, hehe."

"You, you?!"

Li Chengwen looked desperate, his face had turned almost completely purple, and blackish-purple blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, I've explained it clearly enough. You can die knowing the truth now."

Shangguan Xue stood up, her eyelids lowered, and looked down at Li Chengwen. She chuckled and said, "However, your body certainly can't go home. After all, if your body is left, it's not easy to give false testimony. Goodbye, Li Chengwen. I will miss you... well, until I find the next follower who is willing to spend a lot of money."

After saying that, Shangguan Xue drew a jade-green dagger from her waist, preparing to slash Li Chengwen's neck.

"bass--"

Suddenly, a white sword light appeared out of thin air, directly knocking the dagger out of Shangguan Xue's hand!

"Um?!"

Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Xue was so frightened that her face turned pale and her pupils shrank sharply.

Because along with the white sword light that appeared out of thin air in front of her was Yun Muzhi, dressed in white, holding a sword in his right hand.

Moreover, at this moment, Yun Muzhi's left hand was already tightly gripping her neck!

"Senior Sister Shangguan, how have you been?"

Yun Muzhi remained expressionless, raised the Vajra Sword in his right hand, and gently grazed Shangguan Xue's cheek with the sharp tip, cutting through the skin. Strands of blood seeped out, creating a stark contrast with Shangguan Xue's fair and beautiful face.

"..."

Shangguan Xue's face was deathly pale, and her delicate body trembled incessantly.

"Buzz!"

Yun Muzhi released her neck, then quickly cast a spell, conjuring a golden rope that bound her up.

This is the "Binding Yuan Rope" Taoist technique, which can bind the body and imprison the primordial energy, making her unable to resist.

"Oh shit!"

At this moment, Li Chengwen got up from the ground, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Then, he angrily walked up to Shangguan Xue and slapped her hard across the face. "Damn it! You bitch! I've been chasing you for so long, and you've already turned into a Daoist!"

"..."

A red handprint instantly swelled up on Shangguan Xue's right cheek.

But she didn't say anything to Li Chengwen. She just looked at the woods not far away, her face showing increasing fear.

Because from the woods, the figures of Qi Lin, Elena, and Catherine slowly walked out.

The key point is that at this moment, Elena was still holding a black bead in her hand.

Those are memory beads.

For Qi Lin and the others, this thing was also known as the camera of the Yuanqi Realm!

"Hey, Master Yun, I recorded everything that just happened."

Elena tossed the memo bead in her hand, smiled, and walked to Yun Muzhi's side, handing the bead to him. "Look at this, my photography skills are amazing! I even took beautiful pictures of this woman's face as she exposed her crimes!"

"Thank you for your help, Miss Irene."

Yun Muzhi nodded slightly, then took the memory bead and examined it briefly. "Hmm, very well taken."

Although the Memory Bead is a magical artifact, it only requires the input of Yuan Qi when it is activated and deactivated. Therefore, after Yun Muzhi activates the Memory Bead, he can simply hand it over to someone like Elena, who does not possess Yuan Qi, to record the event.

"Li Chengwen betrayed me! And you, you've been secretly following us all along?!"

Bound by the glittering golden Binding Rope, Shangguan Xue looked at Yun Muzhi in front of her with an extremely ugly expression, "When did you start recording?!"

"Very early."

Yun Muzhi carefully put the memory bead into his sleeve and smiled, "I asked Miss Elena to start using the memory bead when we caught up with you and Li Chengwen earlier. So, Senior Sister Shangguan, don't worry, the memory bead clearly recorded the scene when you exposed your crimes. When we arrive at the Enforcement Hall, I will ask the elders to take a good look. Your dealings with Daozi will definitely shock everyone in the Dao Sect."

"you you……"

Shangguan Xue looked panicked.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Li Chengwen gave Shangguan Xue another resounding slap.

He just slapped the right cheek, this time he slapped the left cheek.

So, Shangguan Xue is now completely balanced—both sides of her face are swollen with clearly visible red handprints, her face is swollen like a pig's head.

"You just said I betrayed you? Bah!"

Li Chengwen's face turned purplish-black. He spat a mouthful of black blood onto Shangguan Xue's face and then cursed at her, "Who betrayed whom?! You fucking tried to kill me, and you call me the one who betrayed you?! You bitch! I betrayed your ancestors for eight generations!!"

"Forehead……"

Elena stood beside him, seeing his state, hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "Hey, Li, why don't you control the toxins in your body first? I'm afraid you'll just die from all the cursing."

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Li Chengwen clutched his chest, coughing up blood as he walked toward the lakeshore.

He walked to the lakeside and sat down, then took out a handful of white and brown pills from his pocket and stuffed them all into his mouth.

Then, he took out a jade medicine bottle from his pocket, took off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body, and used his fingers to scoop out the greenish-blue medicinal paste from the jade medicine bottle, and began to apply the medicine to his abdominal wound.

"Li Chengwen, he won't die, will he?"

Yun Muzhi looked at him and asked hesitantly.

Chapter 408 A Qi Refiner from the Ziyang Dao Sect

"He won't die; he took an eighth-grade antidote pill beforehand."

Li Chengwen waved his hand, applied the medicine, and replied to Yun Muzhi.

"So, how did you do that?"

Qi Lin walked over to him and asked with interest, "How do you know that Shangguan Xue will definitely use poison to attack you? Doesn't she have any other means? Are you that confident? If anything goes wrong in this matter, I don't know if I can save you in time."

"You're right, that bitch really has no other tricks up her sleeve."

Li Chengwen glanced at Qi Lin and said, "You are an extraterrestrial... cough, uh, you are an extraterrestrial, so you probably don't know that we cultivators of the Yuanqi Realm are extremely sensitive to even the slightest fluctuation of Yuanqi. Therefore, it is impossible for that bitch Shangguan Xue to use magic weapons or Taoist techniques to ambush me."

To use magical artifacts or Taoist techniques, one must mobilize one's vital energy. Whenever she moves her vital energy, I can sense it immediately and take precautions.

So the only way she could kill me was by poison.

In fact, this wretched woman, as a physician, is best at killing with poison. And when I went to town to buy a carriage, I secretly took my best-quality, eighth-grade antidote pill behind her back. With the medicine in my body to protect me, I definitely won't die. So of course I'm confident.”

After saying that, Li Chengwen lowered his head and continued to apply medicine to his abdominal wound.

"Where's the antidote?!"

Yun Muzhi looked at Shangguan Xue, who was bound by the Binding Yuan Rope beside him, and said in a deep voice, "What poison did you just give Li Chengwen? Hand over the antidote!"

"Heh." Shangguan Xue sneered, "Antidote? I'd dare give it to him, but let's see if he dares to use it."

"okay."

Li Chengwen stood up, threw the empty medicine bottle on the ground, and said indifferently, "I don't need her antidote. Who knows if that bitch will try to poison me even more? The eighth-grade antidote pill I took beforehand can suppress these toxins for a while. After I return to the sect, I will go to the Spirit Pill Pavilion to find the Pavilion Master and ask him to help detoxify me."

“That’s true, then let’s return to our sect as soon as possible.”

Yun Muzhi nodded slightly, then glanced at Shangguan Xue with disgust. "You're very tough now, very good. I'd like to see if you can still be this tough after Daozi steps down."

"The foundation of the Dao Child cannot be shaken by a mere memory bead," Shangguan Xue said with a light laugh.

"And what about the framing he made against me six years ago?" Yun Muzhi said coldly.

"..."

Shangguan Xue remained expressionless and silent.

"Just wait, Daozi will soon fall into the dust."

After Yun Muzhi finished speaking, he raised his hand and used his Taoist magic to condense a golden spiritual light, which heavily struck Shangguan Xue's head, knocking her unconscious.

"Let's go, let's return to the sect immediately!"

Yun Muzhi looked at Li Chengwen, Qi Lin, and the others, and said in a deep voice.

"Wait, wait..." Li Chengwen hesitated, "You've been following us all this way, have you dealt with the lingering resentment in Qingshui Village? There's not enough time, is there?"

“Of course it’s too late,” Yun Muzhi said. “After seeing the information about your jade ring, we immediately left the Clear Water Mountains to chase after you. How could we have had time to clear away the resentment?”

"Hmm, then I'd better go back."

Li Chengwen clutched his abdomen, which was covered in medicinal mud, and winced in pain. "It doesn't matter if it takes a little more time. We'll return to Dao Sect after we've cleared away the resentment in Qingshui Village and completely resolved the incident in Qingshui Mountain Range. After all, things have come to this point. If my mission evaluation is lowered and my promotion is affected because of a poorly done cleanup, then I'll be really at a loss."

"Are you sure?" Yun Muzhi was speechless. "After so many things have happened, the Enforcement Hall wouldn't hold you back from your position just because of finishing up, would it? Compared to that, I think the poison in your body is more important."

“It’s always better to be safe than sorry.” Li Chengwen waved his hand. “Besides, as I said, the eighth-grade detoxification pill I took in advance can suppress these toxins for a while. Alright, let’s go. Let’s go back to Qingshui Village first and finish up the remaining work.”

"alright."

Yun Muzhi said no more, made hand seals and cast a spell, condensing a whirlwind beneath everyone's feet, then carrying everyone into the sky and heading back towards the Qingshui Mountains.
