Villain Cultivator

Strangely, Xu Xiuying and Xu Lanying never returned to the sect after they had announced the bounty of Xiong Zhenzhen. Several elders, such as Yao Lan, Qi Hong, Qi Ning, were also missing.

The only elder available was Long Meifang, who ended up tagging along with the wedding convoy as its guardian. The rest of the JY disciples followed after her as witnesses and luggage carriers.

Jiang Lan and Kang Yan rode warhorses and guard the groom's carriage, acting as the groom's maids.

Since the wedding would be held inside the Mountain Goose Sect, Long Meifang led the groom convoy toward the northern district, where the Mountain Goose Sect's entrance was.

At 7.30 AM, as the groom caravan was proceeding toward the mountain, many spectators stood in lines, watching the parade from the sideline. They grinned and sneered at the JY disciples. Some daredevils even whistled and jeered at Long Meifang.

"So many death-seekers," Long Meifang clicked her tongue. The elder turned around and talked to Xu Miao inside the carriage, "Xu Miao, do you mind if I kill those motherfuckers?"

Xu Miao in the carriage could sense Long Meifang's frustration. He, too, wanted to murder these onlookers for leering at his pets and his ex-sex partners.

"I also want to kill them, but that will cause a scene. Keep calm and ignore them for now. Once the wedding is over, you guys can start a promotion for your brothel or something to attract those fools. Then, use your usual drugs and bring them to the underground prison."

"I also had the same thought, but you should look carefully. All of them are at least the 4th stage. I don't think my disciple's hypnosis techniques and our drugs will be effective."

Xu Miao looked outside the window of his carriage to scan through the spectator crowd. Sure enough, he could sense intense essence energy from them.

Something was not right today. The roaming cultivators in this city were too strong.

"Elder Long, do me a favor."

"What is it?"

"Turn the carriage around. We'll return to our sect ASAP!"

"What the heck!?" Long Meifang and all escort women were surprised, "But why? It's your wedding!"

"I have a bad feeling about today's wedding. My mother isn't here, and the crowd is suspicious. I want us to take shelter in our building and erect all protective arrays."

"It's not like these weaklings can be a threat, though."

"I know that ordinary 4th-stage cultivators aren't your match. But what if 6th stage monsters are lurking among the crowd?"

"…"

"I know that I'm being overly paranoid, but trust me for once. It's not safe today."

"This wedding has been arranged by your mother. I can't just suddenly cancel it."

"Then, where is my mother?"

"I don't know."

"Can you contact her?"

"She doesn't even read my message or pick up the phone."

"That means, she doesn't care about us anymore."

"…"

Long Meifang's face darkened. She glared at the spectators as if she wanted to kill them on the spot, but she didn't act.

It would be a lie to say that Long Meifang never sensed something weird about this wedding. Usually, parents of the groom would escort the convoy since this was an auspicious ceremony. Yet, Xu Xiuying disappeared.

The missing people in her sect and the chaotic hunt for Xiong Zhenzhen was also suspicious. Something might have happened to the sect while she was shutting herself in her room.

Better safe than sorry, Long Meifang approved the decision.

"Tsk! GIRLS! WE'RE GOING BACK!"

All disciples looked at Long Meifang in confusion. They were supposed to escort the groom to his wedding, but their elder wanted them to withdraw.

"E-Elder, aren't we supposed to go to the wedding?"

"Something is off about the crowd today! We're going back and rest in our building until the vice master returns!"

"Ehhhh!?"

Not only did the girls were surprised, but the eavesdropping crowd was also shocked. None of them had expected that the groom's party would have suddenly called off the wedding.

All girls turned around, and the carriage driver made the U-turn. They reluctantly traveled back under the watch of the confused spectators.

Unfortunately, they couldn't go far. A group of old men descended from the sky and blocked their path.

Long Meifang stood before her disciples and the convoy. She immediately checked their cultivation strength.

Most of them were 5th-stage masters, and their leader was at the late stage of the 6th rank.

Still, Long Meifang was confident that she could take on all of them alone. She glared at the strangers, "Scram! We're in a hurry. Get lost, or else!"

The round-nose fat man walked forward and smiled at Long Meifang, "How pretty. The Silver Phoenix Sect is indeed living up to the rumor! All disciples are as beautiful as fairies while their elders are gorgeous maidens."

All disciples drew their weapons as they found his remarks and demeanor offensive. He behaved the same as lecherous hoodlums that they encountered every day.

Even Long Meifang started circulating her essence and activated her spiritual aura, "I appreciate your kind words, but you're blocking our ways! I'll say this again. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY, OR I'LL FUCKING MURDER YOU!!"

Despite being threatened, the fat man was unperturbed, "That's unfortunate. You can't pass."

"You!"

Long Meifang's energy erupted. She merged her physique with the aura spirit and created a layer of defensive aura around her body. Even if she was hit by Xie Tian's strongest fireball, it wouldn't harm her.

The fat man sneered. He took out a token and revealed himself, "Don't you dare act high and mighty in front of me! I've come here by the order of the emperor! I'm Dong Zhongying, the Imperial Chancellor! I and my subordinates are here to apprehend the practitioner of an evil art, and I have questions to ask you lots! If you wish to make the Imperial Clan your enemies, go ahead and use your pathetic techniques on me!"

Dong Zhongying, the leader of all old men behind him, revealed his ranks and his status as an imperial noble. The Imperial Chancellor served as the mentor for princes. He also acted as the advisor of the Emperor.

A big shot showing up in front of Long Meifang was a bad sign. It signified that powerful cultivators had heard about the time-and-space rumor and got interested in the technique.

Now, they came here for one thing, the practitioner of the space-time technique, Xie Tian!

Moreover, Xie Tian, who should have been in the custody of Xu Xiuying, had disappeared along with many elders and VY disciples. The Silver Phoenix Sect might have to face a serious threat without Xu Xiuying or Xu Lanying's help. Even if they explained to everyone that they went missing, these greedy people would have requested to search through their building and ransack everything.

Long Meifang's face ashen after she glared at Dong Zhongying's subordinates. Ninety-nine 5th stage masters were not her match since Long Meifang's true strength could rival an early 7th-stage grandmaster.

The real problem was the consequence of the aftermath. She was afraid that generals and warriors from the imperial clan, who were a lot stronger than these officials, would mobilize and wage war against the Silver Phoenix Sect.

The elder gritted her teeth. If only Xu Lanying were here, these ugly old men wouldn't dare to disrespect them in front of the crowd. They could have used the strength difference to intimidate the fat man to retreat easily.

Long Meifang dispelled her aura and cupped her fist. She tried to talk her way out, "I didn't know that you were the Emperor Envoy. Please forgive this countryside woman for showing disrespect."

"You should be ashamed of your action! Here I am showing my grace to honor you, but you showed hostility against me without a second thought! I demand compensation!"

Dong Zhongying snorted and leered at Long Meifang's body, "I heard that your sect is running a brothel. I want you to send me a hundred whore to work as my personal maid! Also, I want you to warm my bed tonight!"

"WHAT!?"

Long Meifang, JY disciples, and the bystanders were speechless. This vile man practically demanded her to transfer a hundred disciples to be his concubines. Also, he wanted to bed Long Meifang.

As a proud succubus queen, who had gone through an ordeal when she was a human to obtain the current strength, Long Meifang could easily kill the fat man on bed with her dual-cultivation skill. However, the problem after that would be cumbersome since she had to deal with another 99 5th-stage cultivators alone.

Long Meifang could survive, but all disciples here would be killed, including Xu Miao.

While Long Meifang was at wit's end, a female voice inside the carriage was audible.

"Hey, limp dick Ding Dong. Do you want this mother to suck your yang essence dry like when I did to your father? How dare you block my fucking carriage!?"

Long Meifang and Dong Zhongying widened their eyes. The voice just now belonged to Xu Xiuying!
