MTL NOVEL Chapter 22
Chapter 22: You Cut Off Their Water Supply, I Steal Their Chicken
The spectacular master-apprentice ceremony was reaching its end.
Although it wasn’t the kind of exciting event that everyone envisioned, it had a unique charm of its own.
Everyone was satisfied, except for those from the Jade Purity Sect.
This was supposed to be their moment of authority, but Zhou Tong, the abandoned disciple, had repeatedly humiliated them, causing them to lose both face and dignity!
Tang Qi was even more furious, watching Zhou Tong surrounded by beautiful women, his demonic power nearly bursting forth.
His own failure was already frustrating enough, and Zhou Tong’s perfection was even harder to accept.
“Waste will always be waste; even if they can be proud for a moment, they will ultimately become my stepping stone because I am the master of this world!”
“It’s getting late; we should head back.”
Mu Ran Ya smiled broadly, dressed in a wide-sleeved long gown, carefully protecting her three beloved disciples as they prepared to leave.
“You can’t go yet!”
Mo Liushu suddenly spoke up, causing everyone about to leave to pause.
“Return the Seven-Star Crimson Lotus…”
“Pah!”
Mu Ran Ya spat in her face and left without looking back!
The air in the universe suddenly froze!
…
“Master, you’re so handsome! I like you so much!”
Long Lingyun was whisked through the void, her eyes filled with little stars as she looked up at Mu Ran Ya in admiration.
“What a naive little girl, this is just the beginning; there are more handsome people to come!”
“Hahaha…”
Zhou Tong couldn’t help but laugh. He exchanged a glance with Mu Ran Ya, like two foxes who had successfully stolen a chicken.
“Oh my, you two are so in sync! I didn’t expect someone to be so fickle; having a new disciple, you’ve forgotten about the old one!”
The Little Demoness said sourly.
“Behave, Yue’er, there’s a big surprise; you’ll know when we return to the sect.”
The four flew through space and soon returned to Red Dust Mountain.
“I never expected that the once-mighty Joyful Union Sect would be reduced to this state.”
Looking at the desolate mountain peak, Long Lingyun couldn’t help but sigh.
Before long, they arrived at the sect, which only had a tattered plaque fluttering in the wind.
Long Lingyun suddenly stopped, staring at the three characters on the plaque, feeling a surge of beauty and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“What a fitting phrase: Heaven rewards diligence!”
“That is the Joyful Union Sect! You truly are illiterate. Even if you can’t read, at least you should know your numbers!”
The Little Demoness was shocked; even though Zhou Tong had introduced her to the Wordless Wisdom Root, seeing it in person was still quite astonishing.
“Could she be faking it?”
“Not at all; I’ve seen people with worse conditions.”
As soon as they stepped into the sect, the Little Demoness and Long Lingyun became alert.
“Be careful, there’s a strange presence; someone has been here!”
The Little Demoness’s expression changed dramatically as she rushed out first, heading straight for the sect’s treasury.
Zhou Tong and Mu Ran Ya exchanged a glance and followed suit.
With a loud bang, the treasury door was smashed open, and it was empty inside—nothing left!
“These damn robbers!”
The Little Demoness’s face turned pale, and the joy in her heart disappeared completely.
This was the last bit of the Joyful Union Sect’s assets, and more importantly, the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Bodhi Pill had also been taken away. Without them, they couldn’t heal their master’s heart demon.
“Don’t panic; I know who did it.”
Zhou Tong said calmly. With a wave of his hand, countless tiny formations flew in from all directions, forming an image.
“I forgot you were a formation master!” The Little Demoness exclaimed with excitement, her anxious heart gradually settling.
Since Zhou Tong had been prepared, there would be no problems.
Unknowingly, she had begun to rely on Zhou Tong subconsciously.
As they were talking, figures appeared in the image.
They saw several middle-aged men move quickly, clearing out the treasury in the blink of an eye, only taking ten breaths of time.
“Heh… old acquaintances. The Jade Purity Sect has stooped so low!”
Long Lingyun said angrily. These men were elders from the Jade Purity Sect who took advantage of Mu Ran Ya’s absence to plunder the Joyful Union Sect!
“How outrageous! I’m going to get back at them!”
The Little Demoness was about to act when Zhou Tong grabbed her wrist.
“Don’t worry; if they want something, we might as well give it to them!”
“When did you become so generous?”
“That’s because someone is even more generous than us!”
Zhou Tong looked at Mu Ran Ya and said, “Master, give them a little something!”
“Alright!”
With a wave of her elegant sleeves, it was as if a sky full of stars had fallen, with countless treasures flying out from her sleeves, piling up into small mountains.
The other two were dumbfounded, staring incredulously at this scene.
Among these treasures were pills, spiritual herbs, and spiritual stones, worth dozens of times more than what they had lost.
“Baddie, who did you rob?” The Little Demoness asked instinctively.
“Don’t say it so harshly; this is simply returning a favor. If they dare to cut off our water supply, they should be prepared for a payback!”
Mu Ran Ya raised her exquisite chin. “While you were confronting the Jade Purity Sect, I had already gone ahead and took something back!”
“Master is mighty!”
The three said in unison, bowing in worship—it seemed they had hit the jackpot!
…
Xuanhuang Mountain, Jade Purity Sect.
Once everyone from the other sects had left, there was nothing left but a mess.
“Mo Liushu, this is all your doing!”
The White Crane Fairy directly accused, “I want to impeach you for abusing your position as sect master. If you hadn’t driven Zhou Tong away, we wouldn’t have suffered such humiliation today!”
The other elders remained silent, but each wore a serious expression, with hints of blame in their eyes.
“Calm down; everything is under my control.”
Mo Liushu replied coolly. “It won’t be long before the Joyful Union Sect is completely wiped out!”
As soon as she finished speaking, several elders walked out from the crowd, presenting the plundered treasures.
“Did you get these from the Joyful Union Sect?”
The others exchanged glances, and many of them displayed joyful expressions, as these treasures were quite valuable.
They felt there was nothing wrong with this; under the rule of survival of the fittest, if they couldn’t even protect their own treasures, they deserved to be exterminated.
“This will make up for our losses!” Several elders said with satisfaction.
“Not good, not good!”
At this moment, a disciple rushed in, looking terrified.
“Calm down; this is the Jade Purity Sect. Even if the sky falls, someone will hold it up.”
Mo Liushu said discontentedly.
“Master Mo, the sky really has fallen! Our sect’s treasury has been raided by someone!”
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt as if struck by lightning.
“You must be lying!”
“I wouldn’t dare! If you don’t believe me, look for yourself!”
The disciple trembled as he handed over a piece of paper. Mo Liushu took it, glanced at it, and her face rapidly turned pale. It read: Mu Ran Ya has visited!
“Bitch, I will not let you off this time!”
She ground her teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood!
“I’m going to find the Enforcers and report the Joyful Union Sect’s insufficient merits, demanding that they revoke the Joyful Union Sect’s name!”
