Chapter 160: The Bewildered Giant Baby Xuan Shuyu
In the underground closed-door training room of the Jade Purity Sect, a maiden slowly opened her eyes.
This person was Xuan Shuyu, the granddaughter of Xuan Yu and the third disciple of Mo Liushu.
“The heavens do not disappoint those who are devoted; I have finally broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Joyful Union Realm!”
She said joyfully, her eyes shimmering with excitement.
Now, she only needed an opportunity to cross the Transcendent Divide and enter the Heaven-Cutting Realm.
And she was ready for that opportunity.
“Zhou Tong, you insufferable sycophant, it’s time for you to contribute to this young lady!”
She clenched her fists, revealing a fierce expression.
Her pseudo-Saint Body wasn’t born innate; it underwent a mutation by coincidence, allowing her to gain a talent surpassing ordinary people.
However, humans are always greedy.
Not becoming a true Saint Body was an unshakeable regret in her heart.
Therefore, under the temptation of Tang Qi, she had her eyes set on Zhou Tong.
Since then, she had been continuously draining blood from Zhou Tong, using it to refine her origins and make up for her physical shortcomings.
She felt no psychological burden about this.
After all, Zhou Tong was always trying to please them; even if she cut a piece of his flesh, he wouldn’t have a single complaint.
“What a coward!” she cursed inwardly.
“He’s nothing like Junior Brother, who is so kind and innocent; once I become a true Saint Body, I can cultivate with Junior Brother and help him break through to the Heaven-Cutting Realm!”
A flush of color crossed Xuan Shuyu’s face, and just then, someone knocked on the door of the closed training room.
“Who is it?”
“Senior Sister, the Sect Master has exited seclusion and requests to see you immediately.”
“It’s the Sect Master Uncle!”
She was overjoyed; it had been a long time since she last saw the Sect Master. She wondered what gifts she might receive this time?
“I’m on my way!”
Filled with anticipation, she exited her seclusion and arrived at the square, only to be shocked and fall to her knees at the scene before her.
“What… what happened?”
Looking at the swirling demonic aura, Xuan Shuyu’s complexion turned pale, and she instinctively shied away.
“Girl!”
Just then, Wu Zhan’s voice came, causing her to tremble all over.
“Sect Master Uncle, what’s going on? How could you also be…?”
“No need to say anything; the Sect is in a crisis. As a Saint Body, you have the ability to absorb and purify the demonic aura; it’s time for you to contribute to the Sect!”
Upon hearing this, her face went deathly pale!
This was not a meeting gift at all; it was clearly to use her as a tool!
“No… it can’t be like this. My grandfather is the Senior Elder; my status is noble, and I can’t do such a lowly and dangerous job!”
Hearing this, a glimmer of mockery flashed in Wu Zhan’s eyes.
If Xuan Yu were still alive, he wouldn’t force Xuan Shuyu, but unfortunately, that old fool was dead!
“Even if the Senior Elder were here, he would prioritize the Sect; stop being willful!”
Wu Zhan’s tone turned severe, bringing a chilling silence over her.
“No, Sect Master, it shouldn’t fall to me; there’s still that waste Zhou Tong… he is the most suitable tool for dissolving the demonic aura… yes, he should be called over!”
“He has already betrayed the Sect!” someone replied coldly.
“What!”
In an instant, Xuan Shuyu leaped up, her intense rage replacing her fear.
“That fool dares?! I haven’t become a true Saint Body yet! What gives him the right? Has the Sect treated him poorly? What an ungrateful beast!”
Xuan Shuyu completely lost it, regretting the loss of a loyal and useful flatterer, which left her feeling despondent.
More importantly, no one could shield her from disaster now.
“Where is he now?”
Xuan Shuyu asked hatefully, her eyes blood-red, as if she had gone mad.
“Red Dust Mountain, Joyful Union Sect,” someone responded instantly.
“Very well, he’s actually gone there; it seems he’s tired of living!”
“Sect Master, give me some time; I will bring him back. After that, you can use him as you wish!”
As soon as this was said, the crowd exchanged glances.
Sending so many people had been futile against Zhou Tong; what could a cultivator like her, who wasn’t even at the Heaven-Cutting Realm, do?
“Please believe me, I have a hold over Zhou Tong; he wouldn’t dare disobey my words!”
“Alright! I will give you this chance, and I hope you do not disappoint the Sect!”
Wu Zhan thought it over and surprisingly agreed.
After all, Zhou Tong’s physique was much stronger than that pseudo-Saint Body; if she could really deceive him back, not only could the demonic aura in the area be dissolved, but even the calamity on him could be resolved.
At that time, attaining saintly status would be as easy as pie!
“I will go now!”
Without another word, Xuan Shuyu activated her movement technique and set off immediately.
“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate? What if she escapes halfway…”
“Don’t worry; this girl is just a giant baby, spoiled by Xuan Yu, Mo Liushu, and Zhou Tong, making her a useless person. If she leaves the Sect, she wouldn’t even have the ability to survive on her own!”
“To continue enjoying her power in the Sect, she will certainly do her utmost to serve us!”
“Truly worthy of being the Sect Master!”
In an instant, flattery echoed throughout the area.
…
Outside the Joyful Union Sect, a scene of prosperity unfolded.
Countless craftsmen were working on construction, and many young disciples gathered, forming a long queue to take the assessment for joining the Sect.
Just then, a voice full of resentment suddenly rang out.
“Zhou Tong, come out here!”
As soon as these words were uttered, it was like a thunderclap, attracting countless horrified gazes.
To dare be so audacious in front of the Joyful Union Sect, one could only say that this person had a death wish.
“Who is this lowly person, daring to insult the Grand Elder? You’re asking for death!”
The newly appointed guards were not lenient; holding iron rods, they struck down directly at her.
“Ah ah ah…”
Xuan Shuyu was instantly sent staggering back, spitting blood, completely outmatched by two Heaven-Cutting Realm cultivators.
However, instead of begging for mercy, she cursed even louder.
“You two lowly watchdogs, even Zhou Tong would bow and scrape before me. Do you believe that I can order him to cripple you both right now?”
“How dare you insult us!”
The two guards got furious; today was their first day on duty!
Did she know how difficult the Joyful Union Sect’s assessment was? Just being employed here, the benefits and leniency of rules were enough to make others envious.
Now this crazy woman was causing such a scene, utterly disregarding them. If they were dismissed for not upholding their duties, who would they complain to?
In an instant, they struck even harder, directly breaking several of Xuan Shuyu’s bones.
“Stop!”
Just then, a voice rang out, stopping the two guards in their tracks.
“Greetings, Grand Elder!”
“Zhou Tong, you finally dare to come out. These two lackeys have just disrespected me; I order you to punish them severely!”
“Of course.”
Zhou Tong looked at the two, smiling as he said, “You’ve worked hard; you can now go tell the Second Elder that from today on, your reward will be doubled!”
As soon as this was said, Xuan Shuyu’s pupils contracted sharply.
“How dare you disobey me! I have dirt on you!”
“Oh… let’s hear it,” Zhou Tong said, his interest piqued.
“Then don’t blame me for being rude!” Xuan Shuyu arrogantly raised her chin, seemingly confident in her control over Zhou Tong.
“I saw it all; your room is filled with the portraits of Senior Sisters. You have a crush on Senior Sister, don’t you?”
“What a filthy thing; do you think if I tell her this secret, she would grow to hate you even more?”
