Chapter 349: Lingxiang Regrets It Too Late

Although Nanshan Jun had developed a heart, he was still a member of the Demon Race by nature, so no one could be certain whether the child he had with Zhen Yiniang was human or demon.

Furthermore, Chiyanzi was still young at that time, and his soul was not yet stable; who could guarantee whether he could withstand that Daoist Technique?

According to what Wumin Jun said, Tumi Xianzi had used the Substitute Spirit Technique to deceive Baili Wudao's Golden Array in order to protect Chiyanzi.

The reason Tumi Xianzi did not let Chiyanzi see Wumin Jun was that she did not want him to be dragged into the disputes of the Demon Race; after all, the Demon Realm at that time could be considered turbulent beyond measure.

Under Tumi Xianzi's careful guidance, Chiyanzi developed a sincere heart, which could be considered as not failing her painstaking efforts.

Lingxiang suddenly remembered that when Chiyanzi visited the Yuanqing Sect three years ago, he had said he saw a ghost-faced person in Manzhou, but that ghost-faced person did not seem to have any ill intent; he had merely blocked his path.

Looking at it now, it turned out that Wumin Jun had been feeling sorry for his brother.

Not only that, what Lingxiang did not expect was that she had actually seen Sangmu as well.

It turned out that many years ago, during the wars between Tianchao and Manzhou, Sangmu had suffered extremely severe injuries, and his entire chin had been sliced off. When his life was hanging by a thread, he was fortunate enough to meet Wumin Jun, and only then did he manage to save his life.

The reason Sangmu took the alias "Wolf Head" was to repay Wumin Jun for saving his life. Moreover, Wumin Jun had once promised that he would let him reunite with his beloved in the future.

However, in his current state of mind, Sangmu dared not harbor such extravagant hopes for Miss Liu Lan anymore; after all, his current face looked more like a demon creature.

Miss Liu Lan had spent her best years waiting for him, yet he had dismissed it all with a single "I am not worthy," which was truly a great betrayal of Miss Liu Lan's feelings.

Lingxiang had wanted to say something, but upon thinking of Miss Liu Lan's resolute gaze, she gave up. Because she believed that Sangmu would definitely change his mind in the future.

As for Sangmu being with Bai Wuchang, it was an intentional arrangement by Wumin Jun.

Bai Wuchang was cunning and treacherous, with a vicious heart; the fact that Demon Lord Boyan occupied Manzhou was something he had secretly fueled. Moreover, this person's thoughts were extremely difficult to fathom, so one had to place a pawn by his side.

The men in black who had chased Chiyanzi and Xiaobai back then were also Sangmu, acting under Wumin Jun's orders. Firstly, it was for their safety, to prevent them from falling into danger, and secondly, it was to ensure they could bring the news to Yuanqing.

Speaking of Manzhou, one must mention Boluohui.

The reason Boluohui went to the Central Plains to seek the Dao was because Wumin Jun had disguised himself as a Shaman and gone to his father, the Shanyu.

At first, Boluohui thought Wumin Jun was bewitching the old Shanyu, and later, after he descended the mountain from his sect for training, he went back to plot an assassination, only to be caught red-handed by Wumin Jun.

Only then did Boluohui realize Wumin Jun's true intentions, and the reason he followed Wumin Jun to this Youming Land was, firstly, to assist him in his cause, and secondly, because this matter involved Yuanqing.

Boluohui was someone who knew how to repay kindness; he did not want his sect to fall into danger.

And Wumin Jun's goal was to take the Demon Race to the Xuwu Land!

The Xuwu Land!

A place that belonged neither to the Human Realm nor to the Netherworld, a place that even the Heavenly Realm had no power to govern.

It is said that someone once stumbled upon that place by accident, only to discover that apart from wind and sand, there were no living things there; it was a barren land that no one had cared about for thousands of years.

That person later wrote the "Records of Mountains and Seas," but from ancient times to the present, no one has known who that person actually was—

Who could record such a magnificent ancient world on paper.

Lingxiang had read the "Records of Mountains and Seas" since she was a child; she had to admit, it was a strange book, but it only contained a few sparse words about the Xuwu Land.

One who could retreat unscathed from the Xuwu Land must surely not be a mortal!

Wumin Jun, however, thought that since someone had been there and left behind a great work, it meant that one could still survive there. Moreover, if the Demon Race could multiply in the Netherworld until now, would they be afraid of a so-called barren land?

The Demon Race was not tolerated by the Three Realms, so the Xuwu Land was not a bad place to settle.

Lingxiang could not deny it, but anyway, this matter had nothing to do with her, so why bother worrying about it?

Only on the way back did Lingxiang think more and more that something was wrong; it wasn't until she reached Shiyang Hall that she slapped her forehead—she had fallen for Wumin Jun's trick!

Shiyang Hall was Guihua's residence, which had now been forcibly occupied by Lingxiang.

Sure enough!

There wasn't a single good thing among the Demon Race!

In front of her, he talked about past connections and pulled at their relationship, playing the victim so well—wasn't it all just to make her heart soften and agree to the bitter task of treating his head?

Hmph!

"Birds of a feather flock together" is a saying that never deceives me!

Tsk!

She only had herself to blame!

She had already made up her mind not to get involved, so why did she soften her heart and offer to do it herself after hearing the inside story from Wumin Jun?!

Is it too late to regret it now?

But at the thought of how smug she had been while giving her word to Wumin Jun, Lingxiang wanted to whip herself with the Thirteen Demon Whips—why did she have to show off for no reason!

After hearing a few lines of nonsensical lofty ambitions, she had become so impassioned that she lost her senses? If Wumin Jun hadn't been soft-hearted and let the Demon Lord go back then, would she have had to come to the Demon Realm all alone to deal with people?!

Lingxiang believed that Wumin Jun had probably developed a heart just like Nanshan Jun, otherwise he wouldn't be so concerned about others.

The Demon Race was cold-blooded by nature; even if they had feelings of affection, it would be like Demon Lord Boyan, only thinking of possession rather than true concern.

But Lingxiang was born rebellious; she just didn't like being manipulated by others, yet as she walked this path, she felt more and more that she had fallen into Wumin Jun's trap!

Or perhaps...

Find some excuse to brush it off and say it couldn't be cured?

Anyway, her mother had no other choice back then, so she had only used Spirit Silk to sew the two halves of the head together.

It wasn't that Lingxiang's medical skills surpassed Tumi Xianzi's, but simply that she had read a few more books from the Demon Realm and knew some things she hadn't known before, whereas Tumi Xianzi disdained using Demon Race methods.

In Lingxiang's view, no matter what the method was, as long as it could be used, it was good; she wouldn't be so pedantic!

But she was regretting it now! Her intestines were turning green with regret!

The more she thought about this, the angrier she got, making Lingxiang find Boluohui an eyesore no matter how she looked at him now.

Although you are a Yuanqing Disciple, who told you to be in cahoots with Wumin Jun? Birds of a feather flock together; you are not a good thing either!

Moreover, your Manzhou tribes have repeatedly invaded the borders of Tianchao; how is that any different from the ways of the Demon Race?

Lingxiang glanced at Boluohui on the side and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Did you learn all the morality taught by Yuanqing in a dog's belly? Do you understand that this is betraying your master and destroying your ancestors?

Lingxiang only thought this in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud; after all, he hadn't actually done anything heinous, and she couldn't do anything about him.

Thinking of this, Lingxiang could only sigh incessantly—it's no use, it's no use! She could no longer throw her weight around like before!

Ever since Boluohui arrived at Shiyang Hall, he had sensed the ill intent in Lingxiang's eyes, yet he racked his brains for a long time and still could not figure out how he had offended her; his large frame stood there, feeling extremely awkward.

Back when he was at Yuanqing, Boluohui had already heard a little about this Fucang Elder, and he constantly kept in mind the warnings from those inner-sect senior brothers—offend anyone you want, but never offend Fucang Elder.

But where on earth had he offended her?

Just as Boluohui was utterly baffled, Lingxiang suddenly became lost in thought, sighing and lamenting incessantly.

Had she encountered some trouble? With such a good opportunity, why not seize it?

Boluohui braced himself, stepped forward with a fawning smile, and asked cautiously, "Has Elder encountered some difficult problem?"

Upon hearing this, Lingxiang glared at Boluohui with bitter resentment, which made Boluohui's heart skip a beat—great! He had offended her after all!
