The Hero of a Cool Novel? I, the Villain, Will Kill You!

16: Martial virtue? Morality? That’s just an excuse for the weak!Chu Mengqin had been in seclusion for nearly thirty years.

Yesterday, she emerged from seclusion and heard that her childhood sweetheart had been poisoned by the Jade Pool Empress and demoted to a mining slave in the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain.

Upon receiving this news, she reacted like a startled cat, furious, and descended upon the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain with two Half-step Immortal King Elders.

Lin Fan was Chu Mengqin’s childhood sweetheart from the Lower Realm a hundred years ago.

A century ago, she and Lin Fan ascended to the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain of the Immortal Realm together, where they were both captured and forced to work as miners.

One night, she and Lin Fan attempted to escape the mine, but Lin Fan was caught.

Only she managed to escape and was later rescued by a Loose Immortal, following that Loose Immortal to the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain and joining the Profound Maiden Palace together.

Her talent was exceptional; in just seventy short years, she broke through from a Mortal World Immortal to a Golden Immortal, which caused a sensation throughout the entire Immortal Realm, and she was appointed as the successor by the Profound Maiden Palace Revered Master.

After thirty years of seclusion, her cultivation reached the Middle Stage of Golden Immortal, firmly solidifying her status as the Profound Maiden Palace successor.

Upon emerging from seclusion, she had originally intended to come to the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain to bring Lin Fan back to the Eastern Cold Immortal Domain, so they could Cultivate together and pursue the Great Dao.

But good times were short-lived; she suddenly received news that Lin Fan was being tormented by poison from her Revered Master, the Jade Pool Empress, and had been demoted to a mining slave once again.

She could not swallow this insult and, without delay, brought the Half-step Immortal King Elders to the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain for revenge.

”Who did this Empress think it was? So it’s you, little girl!”

Mu Bingxuan appeared from the Jade Pool above the mountain gate, her beautiful eyes indifferently scanning the red-dressed woman and the two Half-step Immortal Kings on the boat.

”Hmph, you are unworthy of being the leader of many female Immortals! Poisoning your own Disciple—has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”

Chu Mengqin roared in anger; she did not know what wrong Lin Fan had committed, nor did she have the mind to investigate.

Her temper was somewhat volatile, and now she only wanted to seek justice for Lin Fan.

”Heh heh, conscience? What’s conscience worth?!”

Mu Bingxuan’s voice was frighteningly cold as she instantly descended upon the boat, raising her hand and delivering a slap.

”Pfft!” Chu Mengqin flew back, spitting blood, like a kite with a broken string.

”Jade Pool Empress, you’re going too far!”

The two Half-step Immortal Kings on the boat wanted to act but dared not, looking utterly ridiculous.

The commotion here attracted the attention of many forces in the Primordial Beginning Immortal Domain; Immortal King magnates from various major forces extended their Divine Sense to investigate what was happening.

Even the Immortal Official scions from Penglai Immortal Island were drawn in, steering their flying ships away from the Penglai Immortal Sea and flying towards the Jade Pool Immortal Palace.

Mu Bingxuan ignored the two Half-step Immortal Kings, and even more so, she ignored everyone else.

She instantly caught up to Chu Mengqin again, reaching out to grip her neck, and said coldly:

”Lin Fan went from a Mortal World Immortal to a Golden Immortal in a hundred years. Out of appreciation for his talent, this Empress took him as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Jade Pool.”

”He constantly stirred up trouble, provoked Young Masters from Immortal King families, and offended Imperial Princes from other Immortal Courts.”

”If it weren’t for this Empress acting as his mediator, he would have died without a burial place long ago.”

”Do you know that scoundrel Lin Fan, three months ago, even defied the Primordial Emperor Son at the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly!”

”This Empress saved him, sent him back to the Lower Realm for refuge, and this Empress was captured and humiliated by Primordial Emperor Son Wang Qing.”

”Even if this Empress committed suicide and her Primordial Spirit escaped into the River of Time, Wang Qing still reversed the River of Time and dragged her back.”

”Wang Qing not only collected this Empress’s Physical Body in front of her, but also occupied this Empress’s Primordial Spirit for Dual Cultivation for three months.”

”This Empress suffered unbearable pain and became Wang Qing’s woman!”

At this point, Mu Bingxuan became hysterical, angrily rebuking: ”Three months in the Immortal Realm, ninety years in the Lower Realm!”

”That Rebellious Disciple Lin Fan lived a carefree and happy life in the Mortal Realm for ninety years, never once thinking of coming to rescue this Empress.”

”He even boasted everywhere, saying the Immortal Realm was his home, and the Jade Pool Immortal Palace was his backyard.”

”He started a family in the Mortal Realm, and a few days ago, when the once-in-a-century Ascension Gate opened, he even wanted to bring over thirty confidantes from the Mortal Realm back to the Immortal Realm, to join the Jade Pool, and turn the Jade Pool into his harem.”

”He even betrayed his Revered Master for glory, wanting to introduce this Empress to the Northern Cold Immortal Lord’s illegitimate son, Ye Chen. This Empress wishes she could kill him, then revive him, and make him taste the sensation of dying and living again.”

With that, Mu Bingxuan’s eyes were somewhat red, as she vented the suppression of these three months.

Her fair hand surged with Grandmist Law, and it seemed she was about to crush Chu Mengqin to death.

”Whoosh...”

A sudden white mist appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it rescued Chu Mengqin from Mu Bingxuan’s grasp.

The Immortal King magnates from various major forces had been observing with their Divine Sense, and when they heard of Mu Bingxuan’s plight, they couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

Wang Qing was the most handsome man in the Immortal Realm, with a graceful and refined appearance, like an exiled Immortal on earth.

But no one would have imagined that he would be so fanatical towards the Jade Pool Empress.

Those Immortal Official scions on the flying ships were all dumbfounded, completely unable to imagine that His Highness the Emperor Son played such elaborate games in private.

”Jade Pool Empress, killing is not the only solution; do not be too extreme in all matters!”

”No matter how much Lin Fan erred, he is still your Disciple. You should not be so ruthless towards him; you could have simply banished him to the Lower Realm.”

An old man in a white Daoist robe emerged from the white mist, his face grim.

”Cough...” Chu Mengqin coughed, her face full of fear; she had thought she was going to die just now.

”Immortal King Gu Xuan, do you intend to stand up for Lin Fan?” Mu Bingxuan composed herself and looked at the old Daoist coldly.

”Stand up? No, this old man merely cannot tolerate your conduct. Hand over the antidote, and this old man will naturally leave!”

Old Daoist Gu Xuan shook his head, calmly scanning Mu Bingxuan, not putting her in his eyes.

”Heh, what if this Empress doesn’t hand over the antidote?” Mu Bingxuan sneered coldly.

”If you don’t hand over the antidote, then don’t blame this old man for being ruthless!”

With that, Old Daoist Gu Xuan’s hand surged with a whisk, and a trace of the Great Dao’s Qi emanated from his body, causing the winds and clouds to change, and the sky instantly darkened.

”What a ’hand over the antidote,’ standing on the moral high ground!” Mu Bingxuan’s eyes suddenly sharpened, piercing Immortal King Gu Xuan like a blade, ”This Empress will kill you!”

The once aloof and frosty Empress no longer existed; in her place was a blackened queen, driven to the brink of collapse by betrayal, humiliation, and torment.

Three months of suffering, and Lin Fan’s ninety years of inaction, had long since crushed the kindness and tolerance in her heart into powder.

Old Daoist Gu Xuan frowned slightly, still weighing whether to go all out, but saw that Mu Bingxuan had already made the first move.

Mu Bingxuan waved her fair hand, and a wisp of purple mist condensed out of thin air, rapidly spreading across the entire world like a living entity.

Wherever it passed, space twisted and shattered, revealing the brilliant star sea outside, and Laws became chaotic.

If it weren’t for Wang Zhennan controlling the Immortal Realm’s Heavenly Dao to suppress the Immortal Realm, how could this world withstand the pressure of the Grandmist Law?

”Grandmist Law?!” Immortal King Gu Xuan’s pupils contracted, and he struck out in horror, but it was already too late.

Mu Bingxuan’s figure flashed like a ghost before the old Daoist, her jade-like finger raised lightly, and an exquisite jade bottle appeared in her palm. The bottle’s mouth tilted slightly, and a drop of ink-black venom dripped out.

”No!” Immortal King Gu Xuan’s face changed drastically; he tried to dodge but it was too late.

The venom splattered onto his Daoist robe, instantly corroding it with wisps of green smoke, and an agonizing pain, like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart, spread throughout his body.

”Ah—!”

Immortal King Gu Xuan let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the whisk in his hand fell to the ground with a ”clatter.”

He rolled and struggled on the ground, his Daoist robe corroded with gruesome holes, revealing his bloody and mangled skin beneath.

”You... you have no martial virtue! To use such evil poison!” Immortal King Gu Xuan’s face was contorted.

While rolling in pain on the ground, he roared angrily, ”You are unworthy of being a Righteous Path Empress!”

Mu Bingxuan looked down coldly, a chilling smile curling on her lips: ”Martial virtue? Morality?”

She repeated these words with contempt, ”When Wang Qing imprisoned this Empress’s Primordial Spirit and Dual Cultivated for three months, did these morals ever protect this Empress in the slightest?”

She flipped her wrist, and two Immortal Binding Ropes emitting Immortal light shot out, tearing through the air.

The ropes, like spiritual snakes, precisely wrapped around Immortal King Gu Xuan, who was wailing on the ground, and the dumbfounded Chu Mengqin.

”Today, this Empress will not only kill you, you meddlesome old fool, but also make certain ignorant girls understand.”

”In this Immortal Realm where the strong prey on the weak, so-called justice and morality are merely playthings in the hands of the powerful!”

Mu Bingxuan approached step by step, her eyes gleaming with madness and hatred.
