Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

180 The Treacherous Winds and Clouds Rise Again

In the Misty Illusory Manor.

Several strange peaks stood tall, surrounded by clouds and mist. It was like a paradise on earth. From a distance, it looked like jade embedded in the auspicious clouds. The pavilions were suspended in the air. If one looked carefully, one would find that the peaks were supported by exquisite arrays.

All the peaks had disciples going in and out, but it was silent. Everyone knew that the sect master He Tianguang had been in a bad mood recently. He had lost his beloved disciple, Bai Haoyu, and almost all of his disciples had been wiped out in the secret realm.

Out of the Seven Great Sects, only the Misty Illusory Manor had suffered heavy losses. Ever since He Tianguang returned from the secret realm that day, he had locked himself up on the main peak, and no one dared to disturb him.

He Tianguang sat cross-legged with his brows tightly furrowed. A deep voice kept ringing in his mind.

“Do you really think you can just swallow this? Ye Xuan killed your disciple in front of everyone, went against the Misty Illusory Manor time and time again, and even snatched the Penglai Immortal Stone. As the sect master of the Misty Illusory Manor, you can’t even take revenge for your beloved disciple. How pitiful.”

He Tianguang suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes, which looked extremely terrifying. At a glance, one could tell that he had not closed his eyes for a few days.

“What demon is causing trouble here? Hurry up and get out here.”

Ever since he returned from the secret realm, this voice would ring out in his mind from time to time.

Ye Xuan never thought that the black mist would be like an unkillable cockroach. Not only did it survive the heavenly lightning, but it even used He Tianguang to leave the secret realm. It was enough to show its power.

Anger, hatred, unwillingness, and all kinds of negative emotions intertwined and became the best nourishment for the black mist. It quickly made a comeback and allowed him to bewitch people again, just like how he lured the Penglai Immortal Beasts.

He Tianguang played an important role in this.

“How could I not know what you’re talking about? It’s just that Ye Xuan is in the limelight now, and the Seven Great Sects are on good terms with him. I can’t deal with him at the moment.”

The voice was low and evil, and it suddenly burst into strange laughter. It was like a demonic sound that drilled into He Tianguang’s heart.

“In the end, you’re useless. That’s why you’re being stepped on by a kid who just stepped into the earth rank.”

He Tianguang subconsciously clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He gritted his teeth and said, “What did you just say? How could I be stepped on by someone like that?”

“He has the Penglai Immortal Stone, which is related to the mystery of the Penglai Immortal Island. Don’t you want to become immortal? Don’t you want to get the medicine of immortality...”

The voice seemed to understand He Tianguang very well, and every word hit He Tianguang’s heart.

The red light in He Tianguang’s eyes brightened, and if one looked carefully, there was still a faint black Qi. Seeing that He Tianguang was moved, the voice continued to bewitch him.

He hadn’t completely lost his mind and coldly said, “What the hell are you? You don’t even dare to transform. Why should I believe you?”

The black mist slowly revealed itself, and the facial features it formed were exactly the same as He Tianguang’s. The only difference was the eyes. It was as if the greatest evil in the world had gathered here.

“I’m you, and you’re me. Why don’t you believe your own words?”

The pitch-black mouth opened and closed like a bottomless abyss.

He Tianguang felt a chill in his heart, but he was soon confused by what he said.

“As long as you want it, I can help you. Be it revenge, the Penglai Immortal Stone, immortal ascension, or the medicine of immortality secrets. It will all be yours as well as that supreme position and glory. Don’t you want the Misty Illusory Manor to be above all the other sects?”

He was well aware of the weakness of all living things in the world. No matter if it was a demonic beast or a human, they would all have something to ask for, and all species were no exception.

At this point, He Tianguang’s last line of defense had been broken. “Alright, tell me. What should I do?”

A strange laughter echoed in the space.

At this moment, He Tianguang’s body was already surrounded by a faint black mist. Then, all the things entered his body as if nothing had happened.

...

With the conclusion of the sect returning ceremony, the sects that had come from other places were also preparing to leave. The usually lively Jingdu gradually returned to its calm.

However, because Han Yue’s whereabouts were unknown and Ye Xuan was in Jingdu, the Tai Qing Sect had been delayed for a while, and it was impossible to let everyone waste time here.

Ye Xuan decided to let most of the people go back. He would stay in Jingdu to see if he could unravel the secret of the crystal coffin and find Han Yue.

Now that Shen Hai and Xie Yixuan had been dealt with by him, there was no need to worry about the vile characters in the sect causing trouble. However, the others were a little worried.

“Elder Ye, will you be fine by yourself in Jingdu?”

“Don’t worry. No one in Jingdu dares to touch me.”

Ye Xuan wasn’t bragging. Right now, he was a guest of honor in almost all of the major sects in Jingdu. After all, he had saved so many disciples and avoided a disaster, so which one of them didn’t treat him with respect?

Although there were some people who he didn’t like, such as those from the Misty Illusory Manor, they really didn’t dare to do anything to him in the open.

Thinking of Ye Xuan’s actions and his mysterious life-saving means, everyone felt that it was quite reasonable.

“If that’s the case, then we’ll be making a move first.”

Ye Xuan nodded. “I’ll go back after I’m done with the matters in Jingdu. I’ll leave the sect’s matters in your hands.”

The fourth and sixth elders were more reliable, so Ye Xuan was more at ease teaching them.

A large group of people set off, including people from the Sword Sect and other sects. It was quite a spectacular sight. In the entire Jingdu, perhaps only Tai Qing Sect enjoyed such treatment.

After all, at the sect returning ceremony, Tai Qing Sect had been in the limelight and had gained a lot of things. In addition to the gifts from other sects, Ye Xuan was worried that on their way back, there would be people with evil intentions who would rob them.

These people were also obliged to ask a few sects with good relationships to escort them. After all, Ye Xuan had done them a great favor.
