Chapter 1726 - 786: Venomous Man

Chapter 1726: Chapter 786: Venomous Man

Yue Mei landed, no longer moving.

Inside the arena, a deathly silence reigned.

In just a quarter of an hour, Yue Mei had the upper hand early on, with great momentum. But later, the storm clouds arrived, leading to Yue Mei’s inexplicable defeat.

"Meimei, are you okay?"

Chen Mu "exclaimed" and lifted Yue Mei, noticing her severe injuries, but she was not dead. A strange light flashed in his eyes.

Alliance Leader Ning quickly stepped forward, glanced at Yue Mei, and frowned.

All members of the Jiu Provinces Representative Team were Ning Que’s personal guards.

Ning Que had spent considerable effort cultivating Yue Mei.

Seeing her in such a state, she probably wouldn’t recover quickly. Moreover, Yue Mei was Chen Mu’s dual cultivation partner, and with her in this condition, Chen Mu would certainly be displeased.

Especially since the opponent knew full well that the Jiu Provinces Representative Team was his people, yet attacked anyway, blatantly disregarding him as the alliance hierarch. Thinking of this, Alliance Leader Ning’s tone became severe.

"Captain Ye, you went too far. Earlier, I clearly heard Vice Captain Yue had already conceded."

"Alliance Leader Ning, my apologies, the wind was strong up there, and I didn’t hear clearly. I was simply following the rules of the Fengyun Platform competition, thinking that only upon landing was the outcome decided." Ye Lingyue shrugged, her gaze lingering on Chen Mu for a moment, before slowly moving away.

"You!"

Alliance Leader Ning’s neck reddened, ready to reprimand, but Chen Mu beside him "anxiously" said.

"Hierarch, Meimei’s situation isn’t great. Let’s discuss this later. I’ll take her back for treatment first."

With Chen Mu saying so, Alliance Leader Ning had no choice but to let it go. He cast a warning glare at Ye Lingyue and then ordered someone to find Nian Wu Venerable. Chen Mu carried Yue Mei and swiftly left.

"Captain, well done. Liu Yun’s grudge is finally avenged."

The Huangquan Team members cheered and gathered around."

"And there’s still Chen Mu to deal with." Ye Lingyue smiled. Although she won the match, she felt as though she’d been tricked.

Clearly, Chen Mu had the opportunity to save Yue Mei before her, or did she see wrong?

"Ling Yue, it’s enough. You’ve done a lot for me. Truth be told, the person who truly harmed me that day was Yue Mei. Seeing her like that, her meridians completely severed, she likely won’t be able to commit any evil again." Ye Liuyun felt greatly relieved.

For a person as proud as Yue Mei, becoming a cripple is far more painful than death.

What’s more, Yue Mei exposed the secret of the sub-god beast, Gu Huang, during the match.

If news of the sub-god beast’s murder reaches the Yaochi Immortal Pavilion, Yue Mei’s status as a master disciple will surely be lost. The Yaochi Immortal Pavilion won’t spare her.

What’s waiting for her is a punishment a hundred times more painful than death.

"By the way, I’ve just broken through the Small Divine Power Realm. My cultivation is still unstable. There’s about half a month before going to the Demon World, and I need to go into seclusion during this time. You all should start preparing too; this trip to the Demon World is more dangerous than the Tongtian Tribe."

When Ye Lingyue broke through, she unexpectedly glimpsed some bizarre visions that seemed to be a new divine power skill.

She wanted to seize the opportunity while those thoughts were still present to intensify her insights. Maybe she could comprehend a divine skill.

Everyone thus said no more and dispersed.

That night, Ye Lingyue began her retreat in Hong Meng Heaven.

Meanwhile, Chen Mu returned with Yue Mei to the Jiu Provinces Representative Team’s camp.

Nian Wu Venerable came to diagnose and his brow furrowed deeply.

"Nian Wu Venerable, speak freely."

Seeing this, Chen Mu directly asked.

"To be honest, Captain Chen, Vice Captain Yue’s situation isn’t looking good. Her body is riddled with wounds inflicted by an extremely evil acupuncture technique. Over a hundred of her meridians are severed. Even I am powerless. The best I can do is keep her breathing and preserve her life, but henceforth, Vice Captain Yue’s cultivation..."

Nian Wu Venerable, upon examining the wounds, was secretly shocked.

He had heard that Yue Mei ended up like this after a match with the Huangquan Team’s captain.

He originally thought that Captain Ye didn’t have much ability, but upon seeing this, he realized the methods of this woman were quite vicious.

With over a hundred severed meridians, even a Fang Immortal from the Divine Realm would be powerless.

Chen Mu remained silent.

Seeing this, Nian Wu Venerable also shook his head and sighed, leaving a bottle of elixir pills before departing.

Chen Mu took the elixir pills to the bedside; Yue Mei was completely bandaged, unable to move, still seemingly unconscious, but her already wet eyelashes revealed that she had indeed woken.

"Stop pretending; I know you’re awake."

She opened her eyes and, upon seeing Chen Mu, struggled to open her mouth.

"Why?"

At the moment Yue Mei was heavily injured by Ye Lingyue, she saw clearly that Chen Mu had the means to save her.

She fell from high above, her injuries compounded. If Chen Mu had intervened, she wouldn’t have been hurt so severely.

Chen Mu tipped an elixir pill out, seemingly gentle, raised Yue Mei’s chin with apparent tenderness, as if to administer the medicine.

"She’s coming; what’s the point of keeping you?"

The single word "she" didn’t specify who it was, but Yue Mei understood immediately.

She glared angrily, struggling to sit up.

"For her? Are you still not over that vixen, Chen Mu? Do you forget, without me, there wouldn’t be the you today! If it weren’t for you, why would I hide it from the master and kill Gu Huang!"

Yue Mei felt she had done so much for Chen Mu. What was good about that vixen, that Chen Mu hadn’t forgotten her all these years?

"Indeed, you’ve done a lot for me. But all of it was voluntary, wasn’t it? For me, you’ve done so much. Now that you lack any further value, for my sake, you might as well die."

Chen Mu’s voice was gentle, like tender words between lovers, but his gaze was ice-cold.

Each word, each sentence, like a sharp spike, pierced Yue Mei’s heart, leaving it bloody and mangled.

She finally understood, her years of infatuation amounted to nothing.

"Chen Mu, you ungrateful creature, that vixen doesn’t love you, you’ll never get her. I’ll tell everyone you devoured..."

Yue Mei’s voice sharpened.

Just as she attempted to shout loudly, Chen Mu grasped Yue Mei’s chin, exerting slight force, reducing the elixir pill and Yue Mei’s chin simultaneously to powder.

Chen Mu’s hand moved lower, his finger "snicked," piercing into Yue Mei’s body.

Terror suddenly emerged in Yue Mei’s eyes.

Beads of sweat rolled down her pale face as she seemed to realize what Chen Mu was about to do.

Blood splattered, accompanied by a sound like meat grinding.

On the bed, Yue Mei was gutted, her eyes wide open, an expression of dying unease.
