Chapter 482: Nameless Appears
"The ancient evil veins must be severed! Otherwise, misfortune will be endless!"
The icy voice of the Mysterious Sword Sect's sword cultivator exploded like thunder in Li Muyang's ears.
He looked at the little girl beside him in astonishment, almost doubting what he had heard.
Damn... the ancient evil veins again?
This little girl is also an ancient evil vein?
Fuck!
Is she a descendant of the Black Cloud Fort?
So, the power she uses to control puppets... Is it actually the power of the evil veins awakening and controlling the Evil God's power?
Realizing this, Li Muyang was shocked.
Was the hint really that obvious?
He had not expected that the little girl beside him would be an ancient evil vein.
But even if Nie Yubing is an ancient evil vein, what of it?
What kind of madness has possessed these three sword cultivators from the Mysterious Sword Sect to come here to kill those with ancient evil veins?
Weren't you supposed to go and exterminate the monsters in the Capital City?
Li Muyang frowned as he looked at the three sword cultivators in front of him, slightly puzzled.
And facing the stern attitude of the three sword cultivators, the two young masters of the Nie family, including Tang Mengchen, all seemed somewhat evasive in their gazes.
It seemed as though they had no real rebuttal to the accusations of the three sword cultivators.
It was the little girl, Nie Yubing, who spoke in astonishment, "What ancient evil vein?"
"Big brother, second brother, why do the immortals from the Mysterious Sword Sect say that I am an ancient evil vein... What even is an ancient evil vein?"
The little girl asked her two brothers as if seeking salvation.
But the two young masters of the Nie family hesitated and sighed. Eventually, the eldest young master of the Nie family stepped forward and said, "Three immortals, my little sister is kind-hearted and pure by nature, she is definitely not the type to commit evil deeds..."
The second young master of the Nie family also said, "We hope the three immortals can show mercy. My brother and I are willing to guarantee with our lives that our little sister will not commit evil."
The eldest young master added, "We were about to leave Heiyuan Pass and head south, to seek refuge with our uncles in the Ever-Victorious Army, and leave the contentious place of the Capital..."
The eyes of the two young masters of the Nie family were filled with pleading.
But as they pleaded, they also silently gripped their swords.
The sons of Nie Ming, the Governor of the River District, were naturally not frail scholars, but martial cultivators with strong martial arts and vigorous vitality.
When the monsters from the Capital City had attacked previously, the two young masters of the Nie family had also demonstrated considerable combat power.
Now facing the blockade of the Mysterious Sword Sect's sword cultivators, they were not willing to step back even half a step, protecting their little sister behind them without making any sound.
Tang Mengchen, leading the band of righteous soldiers, also silently stood up, their hands quietly resting on their blades.
This place was not far from Heiyuan Pass, and if a battle were to break out, it could very likely draw the attention of the large army at Heiyuan Pass.
The atmosphere on the mountain path at this moment was rigid, cold, and deadly silent.
The three sword cultivators from the Mysterious Sword Sect watched everyone's subtle movements with cold eyes, showing minimal reaction.
They simply observed the people before them and said, "The ancient evil veins bring disaster and poison life. Even if this little girl has not yet done evil, her bloodline can still invite catastrophe as long as it exists in this world."
"Since you know she is an ancient evil vein and yet deliberately obstruct... Hmph!"
The sword cultivator snorted coldly and took a step forward.
It seemed like they did nothing, yet ten icy talismans had already spread underground from beneath their feet.
The world's nature's spiritual energy started to become somewhat disordered.
But the martial cultivators, despite being present, were oblivious to the changes in nature's spiritual energy.
Seeing that the ten talismans had already drifted along the earth's veins, Li Muyang, who had been merely watching, finally made his move.
The painted-skin monster beside the little girl, without any instructions from her, suddenly burst forth.
A ghastly green monster's Qi exploded among the crowd, instantly transforming into a Nether Demon Seal blasting towards the ground.
The curse reversal technique recorded in the "Nether Demon Manual" was now being used by Li Muyang.
The enormous Nether Demon Seal crashed onto the ground, colliding precisely with the ten talismans that had burrowed up from beneath.
Two utterly different forces collided, creating a powerful shockwave that erupted from the ground, sending everyone standing on it flying.
And the ten talismans were directly shaken back by the curse reversal technique, flying along their original path toward the three Sword Cultivators in front.
The faces of the three Mysterious Sword Sect cultivators drastically changed.
"Who is secretly assisting us?!"
They immediately soared into the air, their flying swords evolving into a sky full of Sword Qi, which shattered the returning talismans.
At the same time, they vigilantly turned toward the painted-skin puppet's corpse in the crowd, subtly forming a triangular formation among themselves.
Faced with the group of Martial Cultivators blocking the way, they had not intended to kill, only to use the charm spells to stun the few in front of them.
Yet they had never expected that among these Martial Cultivators, there was actually a cultivator?
And observing the aura and gestures... a Demon Cultivator?!
The faces of the three Mysterious Sword Sect Sword Cultivators turned exceedingly grim, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Demon Cultivators had vanished from this land a thousand years ago; any who dared to emerge were not to be trifled with.
The three Sword Cultivators' alarmed reactions, along with the talismans flying back, astounded everyone.
In their understanding, the painted-skin puppet was controlled by the little girl Nie Yubing.
However, at this moment, Nie Yubing, assumed to be the puppet's controller, looked utterly bewildered and shocked, clearly also not expecting such a development to unfold.
At this moment, all eyes landed on the eerie painted-skin puppet.
The painted-skin puppet, now the focus of everyone's gaze, made no further attempt to hide its existence and directly stepped forward, arriving in front of the three Mysterious Sword Sect Sword Cultivators.
"Loose Cultivator, Nameless."
Li Muyang spoke calmly, "Glass Immortal Maiden, she should have received the sword scabbard I sent her, right?"
Those simple words caused the faces of the three Mysterious Sword Sect Sword Cultivators to drastically change.
"Are you Nameless?"
"Nameless again?!"
The three Sword Cultivators looked at Li Muyang with uncertain surprise.
A zombie of a magical creature uttering such words, they should not have believed it.
But Li Muyang had accurately spoken of the scabbard affair... the Little Sister's scabbard, which had only been delivered a few hours ago!
Being able to mention this... Li Muyang's identity was now beyond doubt. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
After a brief silence, the three Sword Cultivators bowed their respects one after another.
"Mysterious Sword Sect, Dugu Ji."
"Mysterious Sword Sect, Chou Yinjie."
"Mysterious Sword Sect, Zhuo Jiansheng."
The three introduced themselves, then turned their gaze toward the little girl standing behind Li Muyang.
"Fellow Daoist, your rescue of this girl from the Capital City... do you have any special plans?"
Dugu Ji, acting as the leader of the trio, inquired.
Li Muyang fell silent for a moment, then said, "Gentlemen, may I have a word in private..."
Controlling the painted-skin puppet, he led the three Mysterious Sword Sect Sword Cultivators aside and spoke frankly, "I was unaware that Nie Yubing was of the ancient evil lineage, but her power is indeed an important medium for my descent this time."
"Should she die, I would have to return beyond the Misty Sea, unable to descend to Tianyuan again anytime soon."
Li Muyang's background was already explained to Chu Qingxue.
The Mysterious Sword Sect's three Sword Cultivators should also be aware, and there was nothing left to hide.
