MTL NOVEL Chapter 32
Chapter 32: The Chief Enforcer’s Token Shattered
“Be careful.”
Zhou Tong spread out his spiritual power, reminding the two girls beside him.
“I’ve spotted it.”
Long Lingyun was the first to respond. With the Wordless Wisdom Root’s insight, she was about to swing her sword and cleave the insect in half.
“Don’t move, let me handle it.”
The Little Demoness smiled like a little fox, too familiar with the Infatuation Insect; this was a signature technique of the Joyful Union Sect. Tang Qi flaunting himself in front of her was like courting death.
With a flick of her jade-like fingers, the Little Demoness pinched the two insects between her fingertips.
Zhou Tong simultaneously unleashed his spiritual power to provide cover, leading the opponent to mistakenly believe they had succeeded.
The cooperation of the two was seamless.
Tang Qi immediately showed a pleased smile, grinning unabashedly.
He greedily looked at the Little Demoness and Long Lingyun, wanting these two stunning women to become his possessions.
“What are you staring at? Shut your dog eyes!”
Zhou Tong sneered, his two fingers plunging towards Tang Qi’s eyes like two dragons playing with pearls.
“Ah, ah, ah… my eyes, my eyes! I’ll ruin you, you piece of trash!”
“Still daring to shout!”
Zhou Tong became even more ruthless, gathering strength to kick him in the groin.
“Ah!!!!”
Tang Qi was kicked up into the air, his body curling into a shrimp-like shape as he fell heavily to the ground.
He covered his groin with both hands, kicking wildly, his face turning pale, veins bulging on his neck, looking as if he was about to die.
Zhou Tong’s eyes narrowed slightly. If he wanted to eliminate the opponent, this was a perfect opportunity.
Shangguan Wuhui was right beside him, and with the favor of the Chief Enforcer, as long as he made a decision, it seemed he could leave the members of the Jade Purity Sect here.
But he still resisted; this matter was not that simple.
In his past life, whenever he was about to kill Tang Qi, unexpected incidents would always occur, allowing the opponent to prolong his life.
This was the protection of incredible luck, mysterious yet very real.
To truly obliterate the opponent, he could only continuously wear down his spirit, deplete his will, torment his mind, and suppress his dignity, making the luck no longer favor him.
By that time, Tang Qi would be a real ant, easily squashed at will.
“You’ve gone too far!”
Mo Liushu watched Zhou Tong take action and couldn’t help but shout in anger, “You dare to harm your junior apprentice brother in front of me? It seems I must teach you a lesson!”
She raised her arm, preparing to strike Zhou Tong.
“Mo Zhenren… you’ve gone too far!”
Shangguan Wuhui was quick to react, blocking her attack.
He gazed at Mo Liushu with an unfriendly expression, “Zhou Tong is no longer your apprentice. If you dare to be fierce again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Hmph!”
Mo Liushu’s chest heaved, but she could do nothing but back down.
“We’re leaving.”
She grabbed Tang Qi and Chen Ling’er, turning back to Zhou Tong, “Don’t think that just because you’ve achieved something, you can act so high and mighty. There are many geniuses in this world better than you; you’re just a bit luckier. Once you’ve caused enough trouble, come back and I’ll improve your treatment!”
After saying this, she soared away, disappearing at the end of the sky.
“I’ll take my leave as well. Young brother, if you need anything in the future, I won’t refuse.”
Shangguan Wuhui cupped his fists in salutation and parted ways with Zhou Tong and the others.
“We should also head back. We’ve been gone for three days and nights; Master must be anxious.”
The Little Demoness took out a jade amulet for messaging, intending to report safety to Mu Ran Ya.
Before she could send the message, the amulet lit up first, emanating an unusual wave.
After reading it, the Little Demoness’s expression turned very grim.
“These bastards!”
“What’s wrong?” Zhou Tong asked.
“The situation is urgent; we’ll talk while we hurry.”
The three wasted no time and pushed themselves to their limits, rushing towards Red Dust Mountain.
“The Righteous Path Alliance has gathered over a hundred people, intending to attack Master. They have already launched an assault on Red Dust Mountain.”
On the way, the Little Demoness said concisely.
“The Righteous Path Alliance… what is that? I’ve never heard of it before,” Zhou Tong responded curiously.
“That’s normal; you used to be a disciple of a major sect, so you wouldn’t know much about these minor characters.”
The Little Demoness replied sarcastically, “They are all rogue cultivators who united to keep warm in a cold world. It started as an inconspicuous force, but as their numbers grew, they’ve donned a grand cloak of righteousness. Since labeling themselves as righteous, they have begun forcibly absorbing other rogue cultivators. Those who dare to resist will be directly hunted down.”
“Indeed a bunch of lowly rodents. But why did they target the Joyful Union Sect? Do they not fear Master?”
Zhou Tong asked in confusion. Mu Ran Ya’s reputation as a demon was widely known, and ordinary people wouldn’t dare approach her.
He didn’t believe that these petty individuals would actually dare to carry out justice and hunt down a true demon, but the audacity to profit under the guise of punishing a demon must surely be there, and quite substantial!
“Master has exterminated over a dozen sects. There are always some fish that slipped through the net who have joined the Righteous Path Alliance, constantly seeking revenge.”
“Oh, that makes sense.”
Zhou Tong suddenly understood and quickened his pace.
Though he understood their motives, he really wanted to know where the Righteous Path Alliance’s confidence lay; if Mu Ran Ya could annihilate them once, couldn’t she do it a second time?
…
On Red Dust Mountain, outside the Joyful Union Sect, the area was already stained blood-red.
Mu Ran Ya stood alone in the air, holding her ground, preventing the Righteous Path Alliance from moving forward.
“Red Dust Sea.”
She parted her thin lips, unleashing endless red dust that enveloped everyone.
“Qiluo Dreamscape!”
With a single move, she captured most of the people with her charm, causing them to fight fiercely amongst themselves, resulting in heavy casualties!
“Are you all here to die? I’ll fulfill that for you.”
Mu Ran Ya formed seals with her hands, preparing an even more powerful killing move.
“Demoness, don’t be too complacent. No matter how strong you are today, you only have one path to death.”
The leader of the Righteous Path Alliance had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes gleamed with insane hatred.
He spread his palm, revealing four jade amulets that emitted intense fluctuations.
“What is this…”
Mu Ran Ya frowned, recognizing the origins of these jade amulets.
They were clearly communication amulets from the Jade Purity Sect, the Supreme Clarity Sect, the Grand Clarity Sect, and the Enforcers, capable of summoning powerful members from each faction.
She never expected that the Righteous Path Alliance could deceive these four forces into placing their trust in them.
“Crack!”
The four jade amulets were crushed simultaneously, and a strong fluctuation suddenly reverberated through the space, as four figures appeared at the same time, each one incredibly formidable.
“Submit or perish!”
The four attacked simultaneously, shattering the Red Dust Sea, and Mu Ran Ya was sent flying, blood spilling from her mouth, sustaining light injuries.
“Prepare to die, demoness.”
The leader of the Righteous Path Alliance laughed maniacally, his eyes flashing with wild delight.
“Stop!”
At this moment, Zhou Tong and the other two arrived just in time, standing in front of Mu Ran Ya.
“You three little pests dare to block the path!” the leader scoffed.
“Look at this!”
Zhou Tong drew out a token, prominently labeled “Han Ye.”
“What bullshit Han Ye, is that your name? No rush, I’ll write it on your tombstone soon!”
With a flick of his hand, the leader shattered the token.
However, he didn’t notice that the faces of the Enforcers nearby had turned the color of pig liver.
