Chapter 122: Ling Long(Spirit Dragon): Aaa? p2
“Master, do you think Bai Ruoxi is really a demon cultivator?”
In the distance high above, a white-robed youth with his hands behind his back turned his head to ask the Vice Chief of Metamorphic Jewel Peak beside him.
Ning Shuwen slowly shook his head and smiled, “If she’s a demon cultivator, then she is. If not, we’ll step forward later to prove her innocence.”
“As for now… Let Third Prince make a fuss on his own first.”
“Of course, if we want to rope her in later, we have to act quickly.” Ning Shuwen added.
With Third Prince making such a big commotion, naturally all the cultivators in the sect who weren’t in seclusion noticed.
Right now, not only the cultivators of Metamorphic Jewel Peak but also many high-level members of the sect were probably secretly observing this scene under the sky.
If she really was a demon cultivator, they would suppress her.
If not, this matter was just a small squabble between sect disciples. They, as elders, didn’t need to intervene.
The Third Prince raised his head, staring at Mu Zhi’an, and said in a deep voice, “Young Master Mu, can you let us enter the Garden of Heavenly Harmony to investigate now?”
“If that demon cultivator notices our movements here and escapes, neither you nor I can bear such a crime.”
Mu Zhi’an raised his head, looking at the tribulation clouds gradually disappearing under the sky, and suddenly said, “It seems the vow has already taken effect…”
The Third Prince frowned slightly, about to speak.
At this moment, Mu Zhi’an slightly nodded and said, “Third Prince, please go ahead.”
Seeing Mu Zhi’an’s somewhat calm appearance, for some reason, the Third Prince inexplicably felt that something wasn’t quite right.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring, so naturally, he couldn’t back down now.
Moreover, the reaction of the Demon-Detecting Ruler had become more and more intense since earlier.
There was definitely a demon cultivator in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony!
The Third Prince raised his hand to take the Demon-Detecting Ruler into his palm. Turning his head to scan the crowd, he cupped his fists and said, “I invite everyone present to be witnesses. If there really is a demon cultivator here, let’s capture them together.”
With that, he strode towards the direction the Demon-Detecting Ruler was pointing.
Behind him, the crowd of cultivators followed the Third Prince one after another. In the sky above, Ning Shuwen and his disciple glanced at each other and secretly followed.
The moment the Third Prince stepped into the Garden of Heavenly Harmony, the surface of the Demon-Detecting Ruler lit up with an even more intense pink light.
Crack.
A crisp shattering sound rang out, causing the Third Prince’s expression to change slightly.
Ning Shuwen strode over, glancing at the Demon-Detecting Ruler in the Third Prince’s hand that had developed a crack. His expression changed slightly as he said, “All of you, retreat.”
Not only was there a demon cultivator in this Garden of Heavenly Harmony, but it was also a demon cultivator with terrifyingly powerful cultivation. Otherwise, this Demon-Detecting Ruler wouldn’t have shattered!
Those sect disciples recognized Ning Shuwen’s identity. Seeing this Vice Chief’s solemn expression, they couldn’t help but tremble in their hearts.
Just how horrifyingly powerful was the demon cultivator in this Garden of Heavenly Harmony?
The Third Prince looked at this scene and inwardly sneered.
Ye Yu’s brows unintentionally furrowed.
He always felt that something wasn’t quite right.
Was Bai Ruoxi’s cultivation really strong enough to make even this Vice Chief treat it so seriously?
Ning Shuwen turned his head to look at Mu Zhi’an and said sternly, “Do you know what a great crime it is to privately shelter a demon cultivator?”
Mu Zhi’an didn’t say anything, cupping his hands. “Replying to the Chief, this junior really didn’t know there was a demon cultivator in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony.”
The Third Prince immediately attacked, “Even the Demon-Detecting Ruler can’t withstand such vast demonic energy. You live in the Garden of Heavenly Harmony every day, yet you say you don’t know. You probably don’t even believe your own words, right, Young Master Mu?”
“Harboring a demon cultivator is a capital offense. But if you can actively hand over the demon cultivator, I can report to the sect and give you some leniency, only requiring you to be confined in the back mountains for a hundred years.” Ning Shuwen said.
Mu Zhi’an helplessly said, “But this junior really doesn’t know anything about a demon cultivator…”
He paused, looking at the Demon-Detecting Ruler pointing at a certain room. Seeming to recall something, he suddenly said, “Come to think of it, a friend just moved into the Garden of Heavenly Harmony a few days ago… The person the Demon-Detecting Ruler is pointing at seems to be her.”
“But this junior doesn’t think she’s a demon cultivator.” Mu Zhi’an continued.
“Whether she’s a demon cultivator is for the Chief to decide, not you.” The Third Prince coldly sneered.
“Does Senior also think so?” Mu Zhi’an raised his head to respectfully ask Ning Shuwen.
Ning Shuwen slightly nodded.
“Since even Senior says so… Then alright.”
Mu Zhi’an walked to the front of the courtyard house and slightly opened his mouth, uttering a strange syllable that no one could understand: “Aaa!”
The moment the sound fell, people suddenly seemed to vaguely hear a “creak” of a door opening.
The commotion in the crowd instantly quieted down. Countless gazes tightly focused on the direction of the opening door.
From that door, a silver-haired beauty who moved like a startled swan walked out.
Her face was free of makeup. Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her figure was just right. Her pair of bright red eyes carried a curious gaze towards everything in the world, pure and clear, as she confusedly observed the crowd present.
“Who is she?!”
“So beautiful…”
A commotion arose from the crowd.
Even the Third Prince was a bit dazed.
Then, seeing the Demon-Detecting Ruler pointing straight at the silver-haired beauty, he suddenly came to a realization. Turning his head to look at Mu Zhi’an, he said in a deep voice,
“Young Master Mu, you’re lying through your teeth. With such thick demonic energy, you still dare say she’s not a demon cultivator?!”
On this silver-haired beauty’s neck, one could vaguely see some scales covering it. Plus the spiritual energy emanating from her body that was different from human cultivators, if she wasn’t a demon cultivator, what else could she be?
Mu Zhi’an didn’t answer. He only turned his head to look at Ning Shuwen, respectfully cupping his hands:
“Vice Chief, actually I think demon cultivators and demons should be distinguished. However, if you still think she’s a demon cultivator-”
“Then this junior has brought her here now.”
“Chief-”
The Third Prince was about to speak but found Ning Shuwen staring at the silver-haired beauty. After a brief moment of stupor, he seemed to recall something. His pupils suddenly contracted.
Senior Ling Long(Spirit Dragon)?!
In mid-air, the Demon-Detecting Ruler quietly floated. It emitted an unprecedented strong pink light, its arrow pointing straight at Lin Ling.
Finally, the Demon-Detecting Ruler could no longer withstand such vast demonic energy and completely shattered into powder.
Lin Ling seemed to not understand what was happening. She blankly looked around, confusedly glancing at Mu Zhi’an. Noticing Ning Shuwen’s gaze, she slightly tilted her head:
“Aaa?”
TN:
Lin Long means Spirit Dragon and Lin Ling is her name.
