Chapter 258 Huang Muyang's Anguish



"Yue-er!!!" Huang Muyang cried in anguish.

Ming Yue was his latest collection in his harem. She was cute and very coquettish. He pampered her since he got his hooks into her. He always treated her gently and acquised all her demands. Seeing her die like this in front of his eyes, and that too by the woman he trusted most, hurt him more than anything.

"Hmph! Are you crying over not being able to lay with that bitch after she died? Don't worry, you will soon be with your Yue-er in the afterlife. Not just her, I will send all these bitches who embarrassed me with you to the afterlife," Jing Youlan sneered at Huang Muyang.

Hearing her words, the surrounding women started to panic and cry for help. Huang Muyang was still reeling from the heavy-handed attack from Jing Youlan. So, help from him was not going to come anytime soon.

Moreover, Jing Youlan was already at the Nascent Soul realm. She was the strongest one in Huang Muyang's harem. The other women didn't have the courage to go against her. They only felt deep fear and despair.

Just then, Jing Youlan spoke.

"Sisters, it is time for us to clean up these bitches. What are you waiting for?" Jing Youlan asked causing Huang Muyang's eyes to widen in disbelief.

In the next moment, three more women started attacking the women who were near them with more brutality. One cut the heads of three women in front of her. Another one stabbed two women in the heart in quick succession. The last one was the most brutal one of them all.

That woman looked like an amicable middle-aged woman. Near to her was a younger woman who looked almost similar to her. The middle-aged-looking woman grabbed the younger woman and scratched her face with fierce hatred.

After that, she ripped the dress of the younger woman amidst her screams of pain and cries for help. Following that, she took a small dagger from her space ring and stabbed the younger woman right in the spine causing her to go limp.

The younger woman was still alive, but she couldn't move anymore. Her entire naked body was visible to everyone present in the vicinity. The middle-aged woman didn't just stop there. She then bent over and started carving the young woman's face with her dagger viciously.

"Stop them!!!" Huang Muyang cried desperately.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Let's not be hasty everyone. You better see if you can manage to escape this formation before I deal with Huang Muyang instead of wasting your time trying to stop these women. After all, this is their personal issue, isn't it?" Liang Tianye spoke jovially and started walking toward the cultivators who were staring at the unfolding events in shock.

Even if Liang Tianye didn't remind them, they didn't plan on interfering with the actions of those women at all. After all, all three women who attacked Huang Muyang and his harem were already at the Nascent Soul realm.

Even the Nascent Soul elders felt that this wasn't something they could step into. Let alone the Golden Core cultivators. So, no one wanted to make a move until now. Furthermore, the brutality shown by the middle-aged women made them transfixed in place.

"Huang Muyang! Huang Muyang! Where do I even begin? Didn't anyone tell you to manage your women properly? By the way, they all are Nascent Soul experts for heaven's sake. Do you have to humiliate them by laying with Foundational Realm cultivators right before their eyes?" Liang Tianye shook his head in disappointment.

"You may have had the cultivation level of Spirit Severance realm, but you should have also taken their feelings into consideration. Or," Liang Tianye paused and looked at Huang Muyang mockingly, "you should have at least fucked them all properly. See, how your shoddy performance has resulted in this massacre."

Liang Tianye gestured to the side and everyone saw that Jing Youlan and the other two Nascent Soul experts mowing through the other women with purpose. As for that middle-aged woman, she had no one else in her eyes other than the young woman who had looked similar to her.

Huang Muyang felt his heart aching to see his harem being murdered brutally by his own women right in front of his eyes. He could care less about the accusations and veiled insults that Liang Tianye sprayed at him. What he couldn't digest was how his perfect life had such a hidden danger that he wasn't aware of.

He could only watch and cry helplessly as Jian Youlan and the other two killed all his harem with such vehemence. He couldn't fathom why he had never seen this much hatred present in these three women when it came to his harem. If he had known, he would have taken steps earlier to cull this threat.

Looking over at the middle-aged woman, he felt complex emotions rising in his heart. That was Su Xiaomo, who was one of his favorite harem members when she still had her beautiful figure. Unfortunately, she lost her beauty after getting injured in a fight to save him. If there was one woman whose anger he could understand, it was hers.

When Su Xiaomao got injured in her core and lost her lifespan in order to save him during a fight, he was initially saddened. But, she hadn't taken it to heart. She had truly loved him and was willing to die for him. So, he in turn helped her break into the Nascent Soul realm after that.

He didn't know when he stopped caring for her that much after that. It was probably the time when he laid eyes on Su Xiaomao's cousin. She looked mostly similar to Su Xiaomao and it caused his heart to oscillate. He had taken her in and replaced Su Xiaomao with her.

He understood Su Xiaomao's anger. But, he didn't think her hatred for her cousin ran this deep. He didn't know when her love for her turned into such hatred. Not just her, even Jian Youlan and the other two who were committing the massacre at the moment were willing to give their lives for him at one point in time.

But today, they had turned against him and were filled with such hatred for him and his women. This caused him to question himself. When he was young and struggling, he had been true to his lovers. He had taken care of them and they had taken care of him in turn. They had fought back to back against enemies and even saved each other multiple times.

However, once his cultivation began to eclipse them and he began to grow at an exponential rate, he stopped caring about their feelings too much. He was being showered with praise and gifts. Many women whom he took into his harem were girls sent over by affiliate families to forge good relationships with him.

He had always been a lustful person. But, he had controlled his lust in the early days. However, when his strength began to increase, his lust also increased. The limits he put upon himself had vanished into smoke. There wasn't anyone to gainsay him. Everyone wanted to please him.

From then on, he took every woman who caught his eye. He didn't care how the other women whom he had been with for years felt about it. All four of them were people who were with him before he became strong. They had been with him for most of his cultivation journey.

The latecomers came to occupy most of his time these days that he didn't have enough time to enquire about how these women who stood with him during tough times felt. And it has now come to bite him in the back. Truly, their timing couldn't be more worse.

At this moment, Huang Muyang realized that this was indeed a trap for him. Someone has meticulously planned and even suborned the women close to him to turn on him. With such elaborate schemes, he didn't know what their motives were. But, he felt that this wasn't a simple thing at all.

Moreover, now that he thought about it, the elder who sent him to check out the situation and these four women of his were in good terms. Was the elder aware of the trap or was he also hoodwinked by these women? After all, it was Jian Youlan who first suggested for him to come here.

If the elder was aware, then the entire Seven Clouds Sect was in grave danger. If that elder was in cahoots with the Heavenly Demon Sect, then the consequences would be disastrous for the entire Dragon Scale Continent as a whole. He felt that the Heavenly Demon Sect was going to make a big move soon. He didn't think they would show their hands without enough reason.

Huang Muyang looked over at Liang Tianye who was standing in front of him and looking at him mockingly. He wanted to ask if the elder knew about the trap, but he knew that none of this mattered anymore.

At this moment, Huang Muyang suddenly felt enlightened. He had always been troubled recently that his cultivation hadn't progressed much after entering the Spirit Severance realm. He thought that this was because of the location he was in. But now, he understood that even if he had gone to the Central Continent, he wouldn't have progressed much.

He didn't have the same drive or motivation to cultivate anymore. He was already one of the strongest cultivators in the Dragon Scale Continent. He had gotten used to the accolades and other benefits it brought him. He had lost himself in worldly pleasures.

How can his cultivation progress further when his dao heart was filled with dust?
