Chapter 188: Feng Feifei and Zhuge Ruolan

Yin Gui Sect Feng Feifei.

Spirit Sword Sect Xinran Zhanglao, how did you end up here?

Inside the inn, Feng Feifei, who was drinking a little liquor, looked up and saw a woman at the opposite table, instantly frightened.

Her expression turned grim; she did not flee immediately but forced a smile. The woman before her was a terrifying one—she could not act, for if she did, her fate would be dire.

Within the Yin Gui Sect, countless people gritted their teeth at this person, hating yet fearing him; the sect has a saying: when out in the world, no matter whom you meet, you always have a chance to flee; if you can't win, you can run, and with the Yin Gui Sect's secret arts, escaping is no problem—others from other sects cannot stop them.

Once you encounter Xinran Zhanglao, sorry, you have no chance to run.

Remember, do not act; under no circumstances should you strike first—anyone who dares to act against her ends up as a handful of yellow earth.

"How can I not be here? As for you, the Holy Maiden of the grand Yin Gui Sect, you shouldn't be appearing in Longshe Cheng; could it be that you've come for the Wild Dragon Snake?"

"Hmph, you're no different."

Xinran Zhanglao did not answer, sipping his drink lightly, his voice calm yet full of authority.

"Chen Clan, you must not move."

A single sentence caused Feng Feifei's heart to sink.

"You want to protect the Chen Clan?"

Xinran Zhanglao glanced at her coldly and said, "I, Elder, am informing you, not consulting you."

"Hum."

A surge of Technique locked onto her.

At that moment, Feng Feifei felt she was going to die.

She looked up again, and Xinran Zhanglao had left.

And her back was soaked through.

"Gurgle, what terrifying Technique, what a terrifying woman."

"Damn it, with this woman present, the Chen Clan, I cannot move; no wonder Dharma Protector Jiangming died—with such a woman guarding the Chen Clan, who would dare act?"

"Zhuge Ruolan, you bastard, you didn't tell me about this—you want to harm me."

Feng Feifei couldn't stomach it anymore, turned and left.

Leaving Longshe Cheng, this place is too dangerous; if she doesn't leave now, provoking Xinran Zhanglao's anger, she wouldn't know how she'd die.

Far from Longshe Cheng, Feng Feifei ran far and far before stopping.

"Huff huff huff, Longshe Cheng is off-limits; I must go find Zhuge Ruolan that wretch to settle scores."

……

On the other side.

Zhuge Ruolan was waiting in the cave when Li Shenghong came to report.

"Holy Maiden, Feng Feifei the Holy Maiden is coming our way—should we?"

"Oh?" Zhuge Ruolan laughed, "Did she go to Longshe Cheng?"

"She did, and she even encountered Xinran Zhanglao; she's likely frightened and now heading our way."

"I understand; wait, I'll go out to meet her."

"Yes."

This place must not be leaked for now.

Also, Feng Feifei must not be allowed in.

Zhuge Ruolan went out, waited a moment, and Feng Feifei arrived.

"Zhuge Ruolan, are you scheming against this Holy Maiden?"

Feng Feifei, puffing with anger, had no good temper upon meeting.

Just as she was about to act, Zhuge Ruolan raised her right hand and soothed, "Don't be angry, Feng Feifei; I've told you before—don't go to Longshe Cheng, that place is off-limits, you can't approach it; the Chen Clan isn't something you can move—if you could, I would have acted already; why wait until now?"

"It's you who insisted on going; I can't be blamed."

"You..." Feng Feifei exploded in rage; this woman actually turned the tables—clearly she hadn't told Feng Feifei these things, causing her to really go to Longshe Cheng, and before she could act, she ran into that ruthless Xinran Zhanglao.

No one told her about this; could the Yin Gui Sect people be unaware? Impossible—they surely know, yet they withheld it from her; as for who's behind it, besides the person before her, who else could it be?

"Zhuge Ruolan, we are both members of the Yin Gui Sect; although we don't get along, this time the Wild Dragon Snake has appeared—we should set aside our grudges, jointly seize the Wild Dragon Snake, repay the sect, rather than fight internally."

"Dharma Protector Jiangming is dead; here, only you and I remain; moreover, before coming, the Holy Son and the Grand Elder instructed that everything must prioritize the Wild Dragon Snake."

"I suppose you also don't want to offend the Holy Son, right?"

The Holy Son of the Yin Gui Sect holds a status far higher than theirs.

The Holy Maiden is merely someone who serves the sect's future sect leader.

In short, she is the future sect leader's wife.

The Holy Son is the true future of the Yin Gui Sect and the actual wielder of power.

Of course, it's not absolute; there have been Holy Maidens who sat in that position.

"Feng Feifei, if you want to be a dog, fine, but don't make me one too—I, Zhuge Ruolan, have no intention of being anyone's dog."

"You..." Feng Feifei exploded again.

"Zhuge Ruolan, don't be smug; if the Holy Son finds out, your fate will be dire."

"Hehe."

Zhuge Ruolan is utterly unflustered; within the Yin Gui Sect, there is no one she fears.

Neither the Holy Son nor the Elders can do anything to her.

As long as she obtains the corpse of the Wild Dragon Snake, even just some vital parts, she is confident she can surpass them.

By then, who will be whose master remains uncertain.

Moreover, she is now outside, and those people cannot control her.

Come on, you didn't come looking for me for this, did you? If that's the case, you can go.

The eviction order has been given; Zhuge Ruolan certainly doesn't want the secret here to be discovered.

This morning I drove her away, so she wouldn't notice anything.

Feng Feifei was not angry but pleased.

Zhuge Ruolan, the Wild Dragon Snake is something we both need; let's cooperate and split it evenly, how about that?

Feng Feifei is not a lackey; she also has ambition.

As for the Wild Dragon Snake, she also has no intention of handing it over.

You can't fool Zhuge Ruolan; cooperation is the only option.

Hmph, Feng Feifei, the Wild Dragon Snake isn't obtained so easily; we have many opponents, and just the Chen Clan alone is something you can't handle.

As far as I know, the Chen Clan has a treasure land in that direction, containing all of the Chen Clan's wealth; unfortunately, that mountain is covered with formations, ordinary people cannot enter.

If I weren't ignorant of formations, the Holy Maiden would have already taken Longshe Shan.

On Longshe Shan are Chen Yuan's two most beloved sons; controlling Longshe Shan, capturing Chen Yuan would be easy.

His words carried regret, and also a hint of… a smile.

This news, however, is good news.

Zhuge Ruolan knows Feng Feifei doubts her, yet she still said that.

I've heard that Longshe Shan has many spiritual herbs; among them are some of the ones you're seeking.

Feng Feifei narrowed her eyes, staring at Zhuge Ruolan; she could tell this person before her wasn't so kind-hearted.

There is an explosion here.

Zhuge Ruolan, are you trying to get someone else to do your dirty work?

You may think so, but the Holy Maiden has no time to waste on your nonsense; please leave.

Feng Feifei gave Zhuge Ruolan a deep look, then left angrily.

Zhuge Ruolan turned and went back into the mountain peak; the formation activated, sealing everything off.

Li Shenghong, keep watch; don't let that woman approach. If she does, notify me immediately.

Yes, Holy Maiden Princess.

Li Shenghong knows the importance of the matter; Feng Feifei, this woman, cannot be unprepared; this place is not yet the time to be exposed.

Their future, too, lies within this.
