Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Known to All

The Sect Master of the Mountain Gazing Sect was handling official business when he suddenly heard a loud shout.

He immediately looked up and gazed outside.

”What’s all the commotion about? Is there some trouble in the market square?”

A Golden Core Disciple hurried to the center of the grand hall, cupped his fist in salute, and said, ”Sect Master, it’s... it’s about True Monarch Liu Yao! Something’s happened!”

”Liu Yao?”

The moment the name was mentioned, the Mountain Gazing Sect’s Sect Master became displeased.

’What kind of trouble has that Liu Yao stirred up now?’

He had sent Liu Yao into the fray back then, first to clear Liu Yiyi of suspicion, and second because he valued Liu Yao’s high cultivation and believed his combat prowess should be considerable.

Who would have thought he’d go up there and disgrace himself so utterly!

Even now, people from other sects still occasionally used the incident to mock him.

”What’s happened with him this time?”

’How long has it been quiet?’

’He’s so much trouble.’

Several theories flashed through the Mountain Gazing Sect Master’s mind, but his face remained a mask of calm composure.

”True Monarch... Liu Yao... he, uh... a young boy...”

The Golden Core Disciple stammered, the sickening images he had just seen flashing through his mind.

He shuddered violently.

’True Monarch Liu Yao looks so honest and simple, but to think he’s secretly a beast in human clothing.’

’How could he bring himself to lay a hand on such a young child!’

”’Uh’ what?”

The Mountain Gazing Sect Master frowned, looking at him with some displeasure. ”Can you speak properly?”

Hearing this, the Golden Core Disciple gave a wry smile and could only lean in to whisper in his ear.

”You said what?!!!”

The Mountain Gazing Sect Master nearly jumped out of his seat, his voice suddenly screeching.

”Say that again!!”

He grabbed the Golden Core Disciple by the collar, his face pale with alarm.

”I... I saw it with my own eyes. The... the footage from the Memory Stone... I made a copy, and I’m afraid almost everyone has a copy by now...”

After all, the main character was a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Mountain Gazing Sect, a powerhouse just one step away from advancing to the Divinity Transformation realm!

The Mountain Gazing Sect Master’s hands trembled with rage. He held out a hand toward the disciple. ”Give me the Memory Stone!”

”Yes.”

The Memory Stone was handed to the Sect Master.

WHOOSH—

The Memory Stone was tossed into the air, and in the next second, the images within began to play.

Watching the sickening scene, the Mountain Gazing Sect Master’s eyes bulged like brass bells.

Who else could the person in the footage be but Liu Yao?

A surge of blood rushed to his head. The Mountain Gazing Sect Master’s vision went black as he raised a hand and crushed the armrest beside him to dust.

He asked in a trembling voice, ”You’re saying... this has already spread everywhere?”

”Yes...”

The Golden Core Disciple lowered his head. As disciples of the Mountain Gazing Sect, they shared in the disgrace.

At these words, the Mountain Gazing Sect Master slumped back into his seat, completely overcome by a state of extreme exhaustion.

Managing the Sect’s daily affairs was already a tedious and headache-inducing task.

And now, a bombshell like this!

If the other person in the footage had been different, this would at most be a romantic scandal. The worst-case scenario would be Liu Yao getting mocked by the world, and the impact on the Mountain Gazing Sect would be much smaller.

But it just had to be a child, which instantly made the matter far more severe.

How was this beastly behavior any different from the actions of an Evil Cultivator?

Right now, he was afraid that Liu Yao would be branded an Evil Cultivator. If that happened, the entire Mountain Gazing Sect would suffer the consequences.

Coincidentally, the Sect’s new disciple recruitment was in a few months. If this wasn’t handled properly, this year’s recruitment would be in jeopardy!

”This is infuriating!!”

The Mountain Gazing Sect Master slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

”I’ll summon him back for a confrontation immediately! He must give an explanation for this!”

With that, he took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message to Liu Yao.

”Get your ass back here right now! You have to explain the matter that’s spreading everywhere outside, or don’t blame the Sect for being ruthless!”

He had practically roared the message.

Liu Yao was a Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Mountain Gazing Sect!

The higher the cultivation, the greater the impact. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were watching them now!

But the Sound Transmission Talisman disappeared like a stone in the ocean; there was no reply at all.

This made the Mountain Gazing Sect Master even more furious. He immediately issued an order to all disciples of the Sect: find any trace of Liu Yao at all costs!

’That brat... did he get scared of this blowing up and decide to hide?’

While he was lost in thought, Senior Sister Wu arrived.

”Sect Master, Liu Yiyi ran away too!”

”She actually had a Thousand Miles Transmission Talisman!”

Senior Sister Wu stormed into the grand hall, her expression extremely grim.

”What? Liu Yiyi ran away too?”

The Sect Master felt a knot tighten in his chest, and he nearly couldn’t catch his breath.

He had just been thinking of having Liu Yiyi contact her brother, but now she had run away too!

”Why did she run? Could it be that she knew about this?”

He asked in frustration.

Senior Sister Wu nodded with a grave expression. ”She must have known. The moment I brought it up, she risked her life to flee, even using a Thousand Miles Transmission Talisman. That’s enough to show how guilty she feels.”

”I’m afraid... this wasn’t the first or second time Liu Yao has done this!”

Otherwise, Liu Yiyi shouldn’t have reacted that way.

Senior Sister Wu felt she had guessed the truth.

As soon as she said this, the Mountain Gazing Sect Master’s face turned deathly pale.

If that were true, then the nature of this incident was severe.

He immediately said, ”This matter is of grave importance. I will go consult the Divinity Transformation Ancestor at once!”

If Liu Yao really was an Evil Cultivator, then this matter was no longer something he could decide on his own.

With that, he rushed off in a great hurry to find the Divinity Transformation Ancestor.

Senior Sister Wu’s brow furrowed, and she left with the Golden Core Disciple.

For now, everyone’s main task was to find Liu Yao first. The other matters were not for them to consider.

In less than an hour, all the disciples within the Mountain Gazing Sect knew about the matter, and discussions erupted everywhere.

Disciples far outside the Sect also received the message and began searching for any sign of Liu Yao with all their might.

The incident caused a tremendous uproar throughout the entire Cultivation World.

The sickening, horrifying footage was circulating everywhere. But since the Hundred Ghosts Sect had not yet started spreading related ”rumors,” the public was mostly enjoying the drama, speculating on Liu Yao’s motive for doing such a thing.

”Hiss... I’m telling you, you really can’t judge a book by its cover with this True Monarch Liu Yao! He looked so honest, dutiful, and simple before, but it turns out he’s been doing such depraved things behind everyone’s back!”

”That kid looked like he was only five or six, right? Ptui! What a fucking animal!”

”And from the looks of it, that beast even drugged the kid. He’s not human!”

”Do you guys think this is just a twisted fetish, or...?”

”Are you saying Liu Yao is an Evil—”

”Shh, it’s just a guess. Don’t you dare spread it around! The Mountain Gazing Sect hasn’t responded yet!”

Most people who mentioned the incident cursed him endlessly.

But there were also some cultivators with more peculiar tastes and unconventional ways of thinking.

Their focus, surprisingly, was on Liu Yao’s physique and combat prowess.

”Tsk, this Liu Yao looks pretty thin, but who knew he’d be so ripped!”
