Chapter 115: Child, It Is Mother Who Has Failed You

Boom~

Puchi~

It pierced right through Zhangsun Wuji's left shoulder on the spot.

Blood sprayed out, and Zhangsun Wuji's eyes widened, as if he had never expected Youming to dare to launch a sneak attack behind his back.

He turned his head with difficulty to look at the ferocious-looking Youming, a smear of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and trembling, he pointed a finger at him and said sternly, "Traitor, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

After speaking, the Great Elder fell heavily to the ground.

This scene happened in the blink of an eye, and the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect had not yet reacted.

Other Elders shielded the heavily injured Zhangsun Wuji behind them and began to treat his wounds.

A white-haired old man, his eyes slightly narrowed, stepped out.

He was the Second Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Qingkong.

"Youming, Qiushan, Changjian, Moyuan, you all deserve to die!"

Qingkong swept his gaze across the four men, filled with murderous intent, and said coldly, "I didn't expect you to betray the sect. Today, I will clear the sect of its traitors."

Not only that, they had actually contacted the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Refining Hall.

The only thing she could do now was one word—stall.

She took a deep breath, tried her best to remain calm, and said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

"Kill Youming and all the other traitors!"

"Sect Master Mu, didn't expect this, did you?"

Speaking of this, he paused, then continued, "Women, you know, just spread your legs and obediently bear children for us men; why bother being a Sect Master? It's so much effort and thankless."

Seeing her speak, Qingkong and the others dared not disobey and retreated to the side one after another, vigilantly watching every move of Youming and his group inside the hall.

Upon hearing this, the heavily injured Great Elder Zhangsun Wuji endured the pain, struggled to get up, and roared angrily, "You bunch of animals, you won't have a good death!"

Just at this moment, a voice filled with majesty suddenly rang out.

"Pah! Don't even think about it."

Kongxu Gongzi let out a weird, cackling laugh, licked his dry lips, and said obscenely, "As long as Sect Master Mu and the Saintess Lan Xiaoyou marry our two Sect Masters as concubines, everything is negotiable."

"All of you, stand down!"

"You..."

"It's very simple!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mu Yuqing on the main seat, her face as dark as water, her eyes flashing with icy light, her whole body exuding a monstrous baleful aura, like a female emperor descending into the world.

Mu Yuqing was so angry that her pretty face turned livid, and her chest heaved violently.

"That's right, even if we all die in battle, we won't allow you to insult our Heavenly Demon Sect!"

However, she also knew that this was not the time for a reckoning; she could not move these four people for the time being, otherwise, the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Refining Hall would definitely launch their siege early.

Upon hearing this, Youming glanced at Qingkong with a detached expression and mocked, "Qingkong, stop being hypocritical. The grievances between us should come to an end."

Mu Yuqing looked at the four men, including Youming, with a complex expression; she had not expected that her four great Elders would actually betray the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Looking at Mu Yuqing, a trace of mockery appeared at the corner of Kongxu Gongzi's mouth, and he said sinisterly, "Hehe, these are just the tip of the iceberg for us, so Sect Master Mu had better agree to our demands, so as not to hurt the harmony between the three houses."

"Even if I die, I will not leave the Heavenly Demon Sect!"

Qingkong and the other Elders were also filled with righteous indignation, looking as if they were ready to die heroically; they would rather die at the hands of the enemy than have their dignity defiled.

For their Heavenly Demon Sect's Sect Master and Saintess to marry into other sects as concubines was simply a slap in their faces, a naked humiliation.

Seeing this, Kongxu Gongzi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, then you can all go to hell."

As his voice fell, three Signal Arrows appeared abruptly in his hand.

It was clear that as soon as these three Signal Arrows rose into the sky, the armies of the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Refining Hall would immediately attack the Heavenly Demon Sect.

By then, the entire Heavenly Demon Sect would face a catastrophe.

"Wait!"

At this critical moment, Mu Yuqing spoke, her pretty face solemn as she said, "This Sect Master agrees to your demands!"

Hearing this, Kongxu Gongzi and Xuesha looked at each other, and expressions of joy appeared on both their faces.

They had not expected Mu Yuqing to compromise so quickly.

Taking down the Heavenly Demon Sect without a fight was a great achievement for both of them.

"Haha, Sect Master Mu is truly a heroine; those who know the times are heroes. I admire you greatly."

Kongxu Gongzi said with a smile on his face.

Hearing Mu Yuqing's words, everyone in the Heavenly Demon Sect was stunned; no one had expected Mu Yuqing to agree to such an absurd condition.

"Sect Master, absolutely not!"

Zhangsun Wuji struggled to crawl to Mu Yuqing's side, his voice pleading, "Sect Master, if you marry those animals, wouldn't you become their plaything? You are a Sect Master; how can you submit and endure this humiliation? I..."

"Puh~"

Before he could finish, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Qingkong and the other Elders also chimed in one after another.

"Please reconsider, Sect Master!"

"Sect Master, you cannot agree to them!"

"Even if I have to give up this old life, I will definitely protect the Sect Master!"

Seeing Zhangsun Wuji and the others trying to persuade Mu Yuqing so emotionally, a flash of murderous intent crossed Kongxu Gongzi's brow.

Seeing Zhangsun Wuji and the other loyal Elders, Mu Yuqing was deeply moved, but in the end, she bit her red lips tightly and shook her head resolutely, saying, "Elders, say no more; this Sect Master's mind is made up."

Upon hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji and the others all showed sorrowful expressions, feeling extremely miserable in their hearts, and at the same time, they hated themselves even more.

Why couldn't they protect the sect well, letting the Sect Master bear such humiliation alone?

In this instant, Qingkong and the others all fell into self-reproach, even feeling some regret; they felt they had failed the ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Sect and let down the predecessors of the sect.

Beside them, Mu Yuqing's beautiful eyes were brimming with tears, her red lips pressed tightly together, her pearly white teeth gnashing with a *crack* sound.

Although she had appeared peerlessly elegant and noble all these years, in reality, she had been carrying a great deal of pressure alone behind the scenes.

Now, facing this certain-death situation, she suddenly felt how insignificant she was.

When all was said and done, she was still a woman, a woman who needed a man's protection.

Thinking of this, she remembered that little thief and his wicked smile, her jade hand unconsciously moving toward her lower abdomen.

Gently closing her beautiful eyes, crystal-clear teardrops slid down her exquisite face; she knew the Heavenly Demon Sect was in imminent danger, and the one she had failed the most was the child in her womb.

She could not help but whisper in her heart: "Child, it is Mother who has failed you; I did not protect you well. I hope that in your next life, you can forget everything and be an ordinary person."

As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

At this moment, Mu Yuqing's heart was dim.

Deep in her heart, she knew that the day of her grand wedding would be the moment she bid farewell to this world.
