Chapter 777 - 769: Possession (First Update)
Su Muyao smiled and said, "It’s nothing, just a minor injury. Teng Lixuan saved me in time."
In her letter, she explained the situation, and Yue Wuhen and the others were aware of it too.
Although unhappy with Teng Lixuan’s presence beside their wife, they could accept it as long as he wasn’t acting as a Beast Husband.
Moreover, he saved their wife, and naturally, they couldn’t repay kindness with resentment.
Past grudges had to be set aside.
Mei Qingchen looked at Su Muyao, his eyes tinged with red, filled with self-blame.
He tried hard to control his emotions, not wanting their wife to be hurt and then have to comfort him.
He couldn’t be so sensitive.
Shen Ci’an killed many Thorn Flower Beastmen and managed to vent some of his anger.
Seeing their wife safe, he felt slightly at ease.
However, when he looked at Teng Lixuan, his expression remained unfriendly.
Teng Lixuan didn’t care about this; his main goal was to leave here with Su Muyao’s help.
He also wanted to know what method Su Muyao had to save the Vine Clan.
Once they went inside, they began talking and discussed many things.
Now that the Thorn Flower Clan’s leader and elders had been eliminated, and many Beastmen had fled, they didn’t pursue them; their main goal was to acquire the Thorn Flower Illusion Moon Liquid.
Yue Wuhen said, "When using the Witch Clan Seal, I sensed the Dao Rules here; the Taixu Secret Realm might close early."
For this reason, they left the Thorn Flower Clan early without lingering in battle.
"It opened early before; why is it closing early now?"
Yue Wuhen said gravely, "Because the pollution has worsened."
Su Muyao instinctively looked at Mei Qingchen, but Mei Qingchen didn’t want to disappoint Su Muyao and had to shake his head, saying, "This time, my Purification Power is completely useless."
Shen Ci’an knew there were some things they preferred not to tell their wife, to not affect her mood.
Yet it was better to tell their wife at this time.
"To repair the Teleportation Array, the Thorn Flower Clan sacrificed many Beastmen, offering sacrifices to the Holy Tree and the Teleportation Array to repair it, but they only repaired half of it before we destroyed it."
"Even so, it bred much resentment and pollution, causing the Great Dao Rules here to fall into chaos."
"Yue Wuhen felt the change in rules here; the Taixu Secret Realm is likely to close early."
Teng Lixuan listening on the side said, "No wonder the Thorn Flower Clan’s Holy Tree could infiltrate the Spirit Rabbit Clan’s Holy Tree’s Divine Sense; they gained powerful energy this way."
"No wonder some tribes were wiped out; the Beastmen disappeared without a trace, turns out it was the Thorn Flower Clan."
But it’s not surprising; the Thorn Flower Clan excels at Illusion Techniques, making it easy to capture powerful Beastmen.
They don’t need to attack physically, just deploy Illusion Techniques, and those Beastmen will die within them.
"Repairing the Teleportation Array requires a massive sacrifice, even then success is not guaranteed."
The Vine Clan knew this method might work, but no one wanted to use such cruel means.
Besides, even if repaired, returning to their homeland might not be acknowledged.
Because such a method goes against the Heavenly Dao.
Moreover, this method might succeed, but isn’t guaranteed, too risky.
No wonder the Thorn Flower Clan wanted Su Muyao’s Immortal Phoenix Bone.
Probably they’ve repaired most of it and just need the Immortal Phoenix Bone and Blood to truly activate the Teleportation Array.
It would enable the Thorn Flower Beastmen to leave this place.
Fortunately, their conspiracy was thwarted.
Su Muyao then understood what the Thorn Flower Clan Beastman meant by their words.
They indeed wanted to repair the Teleportation Array.
"Too cruel; they actually use such means."
"I want to take a look."
Teng Lixuan’s expression changed, saying, "No, you absolutely cannot go there."
"Who knows if the Thorn Flower Clan has left any tricks; you possess the Immortal Phoenix Bone and Blood, going there might lead to being devoured."
Some sacrifices are voluntary; some Beastmen, even if not sacrificing, due to their special traits, going there would lead to involuntary sacrifice and being devoured.
Yue Wuhen gently patted Su Muyao’s hair, saying, "Yes, you shouldn’t go there."
Through the interrogation of the Thorn Flower Clan elders, they learned that capturing Su Muyao was indeed aimed at her Immortal Phoenix Bone and Heart Blood.
This thought stirred killing intent in Yue Wuhen’s eyes.
In the Thorn Flower Clan, he couldn’t contain his inner killing intent.
He wasn’t as calm and collected as he appeared.
When matters concern their wife, he too becomes enraged.
Su Muyao nodded, "Alright then."
"But can the pollution truly affect the Great Dao Rules?"
Yue Wuhen explained softly, "It indeed can, blinding the Heavenly Dao Rules."
"Or, pollution being severe, the Heavenly Dao must suppress it, weakening other rules’ suppression."
"Once the Taixu Secret Realm ejects everyone, this place will repair itself."
"Beastmen should continue to survive, but..."
The pollution still has effects.
Su Muyao said with a lively expression, "Then we must hurry and plant the Purification Tea Tree now."
She planned to enter the space and continuously catalyze the tea tree with superpower.
These could purify the pollution.
Mei Qingchen and the others nodded; indeed they needed to plan early, the Golden Leopard Tribe couldn’t have problems.
They had no idea when they might suddenly be ejected from the Taixu Secret Realm, needing contingency preparations.
Teng Lixuan listened to talk of tea trees and purification in shock.
He suspected he misheard.
Only when Yue Wuhen and the others were about to take Su Muyao from the Vine Clan to the Golden Leopard Tribe did Teng Lixuan react.
His heart raced excitedly; seeing Su Muyao about to leave, he reached out impulsively to grab her.
A purely anxious, instinctive action.
But Mei Qingchen’s sword quickly unsheathed, nearly severing Teng Lixuan’s arm.
"Mei Qingchen, what are you doing!"
"Take your hand away; don’t dream of touching my wife."
Mei Qingchen pulled Su Muyao into his arms possessively, refusing to let Teng Lixuan touch even the hem of her sleeve.
Mei Qingchen had strong opinions of Teng Lixuan.
Back then, this guy even tried to disguise as a female to become his wife.
He was disgusted; just thinking about it now made him draw his sword against Teng Lixuan.
"Mei Qingchen, I just want to ask Miss Su about the tea tree."
"However, your actions remind me, back when Miss Su was gravely injured, I fed her mouthful by mouthful."
Once Teng Lixuan spoke, not only did Mei Qingchen angrily draw his sword, but even Shen Ci’an rushed blood-colored superpower towards Teng Lixuan.
Su Muyao just wanted to stop them, but Yue Wuhen stepped in front of her, coincidentally blocking her view.
He patted Su Muyao’s hair, saying, "No need to worry, wife, they’re just sparring."
Su Muyao raised her head to look at Yue Wuhen’s expression, a deep purple fog swirled within; just one glance made her want to sink into it.
Yue Wuhen coughed softly.
Upon hearing Yue Wuhen cough, Su Muyao naturally focused on him, "Are you hurt? Let me check you first."
In view of Yue Wuhen’s injuries, everything else became secondary.
"Don’t worry, it’s just a minor injury."
Yue Wuhen didn’t want their wife to worry about his injuries, but since Teng Lixuan dared have designs on their wife, though he saved her, they still needed to suppress him. Otherwise, if the Plant-type Beastman had other thoughts, it’d be hard to control.
Furthermore, the Plant-type Beastman’s Secret Technique is numerous, they must guard against it.
Of course, Teng Lixuan saved their wife’s life; Mei Qingchen and the others understood that, wouldn’t take his life.
Just probing his depths.
These matters needn’t trouble their wife.
Their wife only needs to be happy.
