The moment Feng Bei left, Ming Shu couldn’t 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 didn’t get what he or she wanted. It kept trying to seek something.
The sky started brightening. The heat in Ming Shu’s 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 Bible’s 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 couldn’t 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 didn’t suit their leader’s taste.
They would search harder next time.
…
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 didn’t know which clan she belonged to and could only use “that girl” 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 didn’t have it.
Even if you kill me, I don’t have it.
“Leader, these bastards are going overboard. The Five Treasures Bible belonged to us. How dare they try to snatch it from us.”
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.
“Leader, let’s fight them.”
You all go ahead.
“Leader…” 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, “Let me tell you, as a villain, you can’t be short-sighted. You need to look further.”
The disciples agreed without any hesitation. “Yes.”
Someone who was actually thinking raised his hand and asked, “Leader, why are we the villains?”
“…” 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: “We fit the role of the villains better.”
The disciples accepted this reason and waited for Ming Shu’s far-sighted plan.
Ming Shu said heroically with an amazing aura, “Find a mountain and arrange a fight.”
The disciples: “???”
Didn’t she say that we must be far-sighted?
“Leader, why must we find a mountain? Why not use other locations?”
Ming Shu didn’t even think before replying, “It suits us better.”
“You make sense, Leader.”
“You are right, Leader.”
“…” It is such a strange experience to have such a bunch of disciples.
…
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 Shu’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t 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.
“Miss Nie, has anyone come from the Half Moon Villa?” 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.
“Then… you can come with me.” 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.
“May I ask which clan you belong to?” 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. “Five Treasures Immortal Clan.”
Her clear voice was a spike, stabbing straight into people’s hearts.
Swoosh…
The whole place was silent. You could only hear the sound of the wind.
Nie Shuang froze.
Five Treasures Immortal Clan…
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?
“How can the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan be a lady…” Someone spoke out everyone’s thoughts.
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and sneered. “Did anyone say that the leader of the Five Treasures Immortal Clan is not a girl?”
Everyone: “…” 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!
“What are you all up to!”
“Look at what you’re saying. Aren’t 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?”
I am not going to take this responsibility.
“Five Treasures Immortal Clan is an evil clan…”
“Who says we are evil!” The disciples got angry immediately. “Who said that! Do you know that we will kill you!”
“…” 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 end…
No one could say for sure.
“The Seven Stars Hall is here.”
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.
