Villain: Let Go of the Girl of Luck, Let Me Take Over!!

28: Changes in Tianyang, the emergence of the demon clanMu Wuchen hadn’t gone far from the cultivation room when his maid, Lin Wanqing, hurried over.

”Sir, someone at the entrance delivered an Elder’s summons. The summons states that a large number of demons have appeared in Tianyang Valley to the north, and have even infected many humans. We and several surrounding major sects need to send Elders and disciples to quell the chaos.”

Upon hearing Lin Wanqing’s explanation, Mu Wuchen was stunned. Demons had actually appeared.

Demonic creatures, compared to humans, often possess stronger vitality and are mostly fierce, cruel, and kill without blinking an eye. For so many sects to unite and go, it seems the situation is quite serious.

It’s just unknown which faction of demons has appeared this time, and what caused their emergence—whether it’s an invasion by demons from other places, a rebellion by demons hidden among humans, or demons sealed in certain places breaking through their seals.

Mu Wuchen didn’t hesitate. He immediately took a token from Lin Wanqing’s hand and left the mansion.

Within Tianxuan Sect, in a secret area surrounded by mountains.

On a high platform, an old man with white hair trailing to the ground sat on a meditation cushion. This was Su Yuan, an Elder of Tianxuan Sect at the Celestial Human Realm.

Su Yuan’s eyes were slightly closed, as if he wasn’t breathing. Beside him were two young disciples.

At this time, many Tianxuan Sect disciples had already gathered below the high platform, approximately a hundred of them. Most were at the Linghai Realm, with a few having broken through Linghai to reach Mystic Infant.

These were mostly core disciples of Tianxuan Sect; ordinary disciples apparently hadn’t been notified.

”Quiet.”

Su Yuan glanced below, and then his aged yet majestic voice rang out.

Upon hearing the old man speak, everyone quickly straightened up, quieted down, and looked up at the high platform.

”A large number of demons have recently emerged in Tianyang Valley. Various parties are sending aid. Our Tianxuan Sect plans to dispatch one hundred core disciples and one thousand ordinary disciples to assist in the investigation and demon extermination. You are the chosen ones.”

Saying this, he looked at the two young men:

”Everyone is familiar with this one; he is Chu Tiange, one of our Tianxuan Sect’s current Holy Sons. He is at Mystic Infant eighth-level cultivation. The other is my grandson, Su Qingyun, at Mystic Infant third-level. This operation will be led by these two. Do any of you have objections?”

Everyone quickly agreed after hearing this.

”You all go back and prepare first. Three days from now, you will depart with the main force on the sect’s spiritual boat or on your own. When you return, rewards will be distributed according to the quantity, quality, and contributions of the demon crystals you acquire. You may all leave.”

Demon crystals are the source of power for demons. After a demon dies, its demon crystal can be extracted.

After being refined and purified through special methods, demon crystals can be used for human cultivation. Generally speaking, the more powerful the demon hunted, the stronger the power of its demon crystal. However, particularly powerful demon crystals are often more difficult to refine.

The two people Su Yuan chose clearly had some selfish motives. The young man named Chu Tiange was one of the top ten Holy Sons from the previous selection, so his strength goes without saying.

But arranging for his grandson to be the other captain was quite intriguing.

This move was clearly intended to give his grandson some ’gold plating,’ likely to boost his prestige and resume for the next Holy Son selection.

However, this was not inexcusable; as long as one’s character and strength were sufficient, it was not impossible.

Mu Wuchen activated his Heavenly Eye, sweeping over the two young men, and their information appeared in his mind.

[Su Qingyun, Mystic Infant third-level, Qingyun Blade Intent, Qingyun Nine-Layer Blade Art, Azure Sky Body Protection Art]

However, just as Mu Wuchen’s Heavenly Eye swept over the Holy Son named Chu Tiange, his expression became somewhat strange.

Because the name in the introduction was not Chu Tiange, and his identity...

[Batu, Hundred-Faced Demon Race, Mystic Infant Peak, skilled in shapeshifting, concealment, and mimicking the aura of other races]

The person leading the demon extermination team was actually a demon himself.

A demon had infiltrated Tianxuan Sect, evaded the eyes of numerous Elders, and ultimately even personally led people to exterminate demons. This was clearly a trap.

Mu Wuchen instinctively sensed something unusual. There was likely a larger conspiracy at play. If his guess was correct, this group of people was very likely to encounter danger.

Although he knew Chu Tiange was problematic, Mu Wuchen still didn’t alert anyone. While exposing Chu Tiange’s identity now could indeed kill him, it would alert the enemy. Secondly, he also wanted to see what the situation was like in Tianyang Valley.

He believed that in places where demons emerged, the probability of encountering Sons of Destiny would not be low.

Just as Mu Wu was about to turn and leave, he felt a familiar aura.

Turning his head, he saw a cold and ethereal woman in a green dress stepping on colorful clouds, preparing to leave. This woman was Yun Li; she had also been notified to go to Tianyang Valley.

Seeming to sense the gaze behind her, Yun Li also turned her head and met Mu Wuchen’s eyes.

Upon seeing Mu Wuchen, Yun Li, who was usually cold and aloof, devoted to cultivation, and rarely appeared before others, suddenly froze.

Today’s Mu Wuchen seemed a little different.

A strange feeling arose in her heart, and her heartbeat even accelerated...

What was going on?

She had never experienced this before, not even when facing the Holy Sons of Tianxuan Sect. What was wrong with her?

Yun Li reached out and touched her forehead.

Had she been cultivating too much recently, causing a problem with her body?

”Oh, Senior Sister Yun Li, why is your face a little red? Did you not sleep well last night?”

Mu Wuchen’s voice rang out.

And upon hearing Mu Wuchen’s voice, Yun Li’s body even softened a little.

To prevent Mu Wuchen from noticing her abnormality, Yun Li pursed her lips, straightened her body, adjusted her breathing, and continued to maintain her cold demeanor.

”Uh... yes, I didn’t sleep well last night...”

Yun Li felt a bit strange now, even feeling a sense of closeness when looking at Mu Wuchen.

Yun Li was secretly alarmed, thinking she must really be ill.

Mu Wuchen chuckled. He hadn’t expected the effect of absorbing that feather to be so significant.

”Oh, Senior Sister Yun Li, doesn’t your inheritance possess the power of the sun and moon, so you don’t need to sleep?”

Upon hearing Mu Wuchen’s words, Yun Li froze, and a faint blush appeared on her usually placid face. However, she controlled it well, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

”Uh, yes... I seem to... not need to sleep...”

Mu Wuchen hadn’t expected Celestial Fairy Yun Li, who was cold and aloof in the eyes of outsiders, to show such a side. He decided to strike while the iron was hot.

”Senior Sister Yun, it seems the condition I mentioned about you coming to find me in twenty days will be difficult to achieve. How about we go together this time? Otherwise, my pirate ship...”

Mu Wuchen blurted out, then paused, clearing his throat.

”Otherwise, it’s just me and my maid on my spirit beast, and it’s too boring.”
