The moment Feng Bei left, Ming Shu couldnât take it anymore and sit on the ground.
That man was not abducted by the disciples. He either let them abduct him purposely or he swapped himself with the person who was abducted.
Something is amiss!
Ming Shu sank into the cold water and tried to use the Qi in the air to push the rebellious flame in her body down. It was not very effective, but she felt better than before.
She carefully monitored this body. This power was like a child that didnât get what he or she wanted. It kept trying to seek something.
The sky started brightening. The heat in Ming Shuâs body dissipated.
She got up and put on her clothes.
Actually, it was not right to say that this would happen every full moon. It should be a cycle that repeated itself every month. It would sometimes happen before or after the full moon.
She suspected that the Five Treasures Bible was incomplete.
This meant that the Five Treasures Bibleâs technique the Host practiced was incomplete too.
A complete set of skills would not result in this situation. Unless⊠she overdid it and entered the devil realm.
But the Host never entered the devil realm before.
The Host could not see the entire Five Treasures Bible. With her present ability, she could only see the fourth level. The fifth level was blank.
She could only see the fifth level after breaking through the fourth level. Hence, Ming Shu couldnât confirm if the bible was incomplete.
She was troubled.
Where are my snacks!
Ming Shu rushed down angrily and scolded the disciples terribly. She forced every single one of them to swear that they would never abduct any man again or they would become single for life.
The disciples felt wronged.
They were just completing the task the protector assigned to them!
It must be that the one they found didnât suit their leaderâs taste.
They would search harder next time.
âŠ
Ming Shu heard that Nie Shuang and Yue Gan were found at the Dingyun Temple. Nie Shuang said something to those people and they left not long after.
Then, news spread that the Five Treasures Bible was with Ming Shu. Of course, those people didnât know which clan she belonged to and could only use âthat girlâ to refer to her.
Ming Shu brought along a whole bunch of people wherever she went and was an easy target to spot. She was chased by a bunch of people who forced her to give up the Five Treasures Bible.
Ming Shu said that she didnât have it.
Even if you kill me, I donât have it.
âLeader, these bastards are going overboard. The Five Treasures Bible belonged to us. How dare they try to snatch it from us.â
Ming Shu munched on her sweet potato. She gave them a look of disdain in her heart. You are speaking as though I have the bible.
âLeader, letâs fight them.â
You all go ahead.
âLeaderâŠâ Blah blah blah.
By the time Ming Shu finished her sweet potato, the disciples had finished shouting, She clapped her hands and the disciples gathered around.
Ming Shu said earnestly, âLet me tell you, as a villain, you canât be short-sighted. You need to look further.â
The disciples agreed without any hesitation. âYes.â
Someone who was actually thinking raised his hand and asked, âLeader, why are we the villains?â
ââŠâ Why? Because the story says so! With your intellect, you will not be able to be on the righteous side! Ming Shu smiled and talked nonsense: âWe fit the role of the villains better.â
The disciples accepted this reason and waited for Ming Shuâs far-sighted plan.
Ming Shu said heroically with an amazing aura, âFind a mountain and arrange a fight.â
The disciples: â???â
Didnât she say that we must be far-sighted?
âLeader, why must we find a mountain? Why not use other locations?â
Ming Shu didnât even think before replying, âIt suits us better.â
âYou make sense, Leader.â
âYou are right, Leader.â
ââŠâ It is such a strange experience to have such a bunch of disciples.
âŠ
The disciples really found a suitable mountain for the fight. The top of the mountain was flat and there was only one way up. It was the most suitable mountain for them to go to town.
The disciples followed Ming Shuâs instructions and sent out invitations to all the clans to ask them to come and snatch the Five Treasures Bible.
The clans who received the invitation were all stunned.
They didnât say that they wanted to snatch the scripture.
However, they knew that they had thought about it before.
Hence, many clans still sent some people over. Of course, none of them were the core members of the clan.
Everyone looked at each other and knew what they were all here for. They didnât have any interactions and just stood in their groups.
As the number of people got larger, the area got more and more crowded.
There was nothing on the peak of the mountain. There was only a makeshift hut which Ming Shu was sitting in.
The disciples stood outside and guarded the shelter. It looked as though the rumors were real.
âMiss Nie, has anyone come from the Half Moon Villa?â Yue Gan was among the crowd too. He saw people from his own clan so he asked Nie Shuang who was beside him.
Nie Shuang scanned her surroundings and shook her head disappointedly.
âThen⊠you can come with me.â Yue Gan felt bad leaving her alone.
At the Dingyun Temple, Nie Shuang explained that she was afraid Ming Shu would hurt them and that was why she said any location.
Nie Shuang spoke earnestly. Although Yue Gan still had his suspicions, after being with Nie Shuang for a long time, his suspicions slowly died away.
Nie Shuang spent much effort convincing the people who arrived later that the scripture was not with her. Ming Shu said all this purposely to accuse her.
âMay I ask which clan you belong to?â Someone walked toward the hut from the crowd and bowed.
The moment the question was asked, the surroundings became quiet.
Till now, they were still not sure which clan she was the leader of.
Ming Shu sat in the hut and looked up at the people outside. She smiled gently. âFive Treasures Immortal Clan.â
Her clear voice was a spike, stabbing straight into peopleâs hearts.
SwooshâŠ
The whole place was silent. You could only hear the sound of the wind.
Nie Shuang froze.
Five Treasures Immortal ClanâŠ
She was from the Five Treasures Immortal Clan.
She had this thought before, but in her memory, the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan was a man. When did it became a girl?
âHow can the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan be a ladyâŠâ Someone spoke out everyoneâs thoughts.
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and sneered. âDid anyone say that the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan is not a girl?â
Everyone: ââŠâ No.
The Five Treasures Immortal Clan emerged for a while to create trouble and disappeared not long after. Everyone thought that they had returned to their hole.
They never thought that their leader would bring her men out and loiter around in front of them.
They were invited to this secluded area by the Five Treasures Immortal Clan!
âWhat are you all up to!â
âLook at what youâre saying. Arenât you all here for the Five Treasures Bible? Why are you speaking as though I put a knife to your neck and forced you to come here?â
I am not going to take this responsibility.
âFive Treasures Immortal Clan is an evil clanâŠâ
âWho says we are evil!â The disciples got angry immediately. âWho said that! Do you know that we will kill you!â
ââŠâ This is how an evil clan would act.
Ming Shu was the host so the rest did not make too much of a fuss. Their purpose today was not to destroy the evil clan.
Of course, whether that would happen in the endâŠ
No one could say for sure.
âThe Seven Stars Hall is here.â
Someone at the back of the crowd shouted.
Everyone looked at the road leading up to the mountain.
A man in a black cloak walked over slowly. There were mountains and rivers sewed on his cloak. As he walked, different sceneries were portrayed.
The man was beautiful. His skin was fair like a piece of white jade. A man with such a skin tone would normally be mistaken for a lady.
However, from the moment he appeared, no one thought that he was a lady.
He only brought one person along, but when he walked, his stance was stronger than those who brought along many men.
