Chapter 954 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

Seeing there was no way to stop the mysterious figure in a black robe from escaping, the elders stationed in the City of All Tribes immediately rushed towards the fire. Incredibly... "Where's Elder Tang?" They searched through the ruins but couldn't find any trace of Elder Tang! "Could it be," someone speculated, "that Elder Tang perished in the sea of flames, leaving no remains behind?" "How could that be? It's said that he could survive even when faced with formidable opponents in the Dao fusion stage. Was the attack just now really that powerful..." "Stop guessing and hurry up to find him! If we can't find him, what are we supposed to report to the people in the City of All Tribes tomorrow!" Of course, Elder Tang could not have just perished so easily. Not to mention, in the last moments before the explosion, Qian Qian transformed into a gelatinous state, enveloping him inside. Even if Tang Xin was to face such a level of attack directly, she could easily defend herself. The reason she didn't appear at the scene was that she had secretly followed the figure in the black robe, wanting to see what they were really up to. "How wonderful! I actually merged with the divine envoy!" The beauty following her muttered to herself with a look of bliss. "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet," Tang Xin's mouth twitched, "I'm happy you could protect me...but why did you have to dissolve my clothes after engulfing me?" "I'm sorry, my divine envoy," Qian Qian explained earnestly, "I'm still imperfect in my skills, sometimes there can be some problems with my abilities." "The problem seems to be with your head." Not only do the members of the Gel Tribe have strong defenses, surviving high-level explosions, but their stealth tracking ability is also top-notch, completely erasing their own aura. Thus, even when she was secretly perched on the rooftop, the sect’s eldest sister taking a bath below could not detect her... After tracking the black-robed figure for a while, they slowed down, looking around cautiously before entering a mountain. Tang Xin and Qian Qian followed closely, and not long after, a deeply hidden base appeared before them. "There are a lot of people inside," Qian Qian whispered, "If the divine envoy doesn't mind, I can create a protective layer with my body to cover you so that you won't be detected." "That's fine...but keep it professional, don’t get handsy." The two women followed the black-robed figure, sneakily entering the base. Unexpectedly, there were not only humans but also non-human races, and quite a number of them too. How could an "old-fashioned" group that upheld human supremacy mix with non-human races? Hadn’t he been vehemently denouncing the cultivation sects for lowering themselves just a while ago? The black-robed person took off his cloak, revealing his true face—a perfectly ordinary human. After exchanging a few words with his companion, the base quieted down after a while. "How did the mission go?" A voice, seemingly born with pride and unnervingly unpleasant, filled the room. Looking towards the source of the voice, the speaker was a woman dressed in fiery red feathered robes, full-bodied and exuding a powerful aura. Her realm surpassed everyone present, even the sect’s eldest sister felt a hint of threat. "The residence of Tang Xin has been destroyed by my own hands," the black-robed person replied respectfully, "but I cannot guarantee that she was fatally wounded." "Normal," the woman said indifferently, "After all, she's a notorious figure. Without some means of protecting her life, she would have been taken out long ago. No matter, we just need to spread the message that 'the divine envoy is disliked by human cultivators' to everyone." "Will that really be effective?" A member with eagle claws asked. "Never underestimate people's desire for revenge," the woman sneered, "It's only been a decade or so since the non-human races officially returned to the cultivator world. How could they possibly forget their mutual hatreds so quickly?" "Brilliant, truly brilliant!" "Such is the wisdom of Lady Feng Xian!" Flattering voices erupted, and the woman, surrounded by a crowd, slowly departed. Hiding in a dark corner, the two exchanged glances, confirming the information. "This person named Feng Xian, she isn’t human, right?" "Right," Qian Qian nodded, "She indeed has an aura that doesn't belong to humans. But it seems she’s using some secret technique to conceal her true identity. I can't tell which race she belongs to..." "Unexpected," Tang Xin pondered, stroking her chin, "The culprit behind the chaos in the City of All Tribes turns out to be a non-human race." "Divine envoy," Qian Qian spoke earnestly, "Shall we call for backup? Reporting this to the super sects or the large races, they should send someone to deal with it." The sect’s eldest sister thought for a moment and then slowly shook her head. "Wait, let’s not alert the enemy just yet. I have a feeling that there’s more to this... Speaking of which, why do I feel itchy all over? Are you sure you're not up to something?" "Cough cough, my lord, let’s infiltrate Feng Xian's residence. I have a feeling there’s something odd about that place!" ... Lady Feng Xian, having stirred up the emotions of her subordinates, letting them revel in the excitement of successful vengeance, returned to her own estate. "What a bunch of fools brainwashed by the Blood Sovereign Temple." Removing her guise, she scoffed to herself in cold laughter. "Really think the large races and super sects are that easy to provoke? The Blood Sovereign Temple’s influence on the Jiuzhou Continent is waning, and its remnants will soon be rooted out. When that happens, none of you will escape!" Biting her teeth, she continued in a resentful tone. "Damn it, even though I managed to lure Tang Xin here, I can't make my move personally! With her rumored strength, unless I reveal my true form, I have no chance of defeating her! But if I do that, my identity would be exposed, and I’d face endless pursuit and assassination!" "I need to find a way to quietly eliminate her!" All these musings were overheard by the two hidden behind the tree trunk. "They're targeting me?" Tang Xin was surprised. "Do you know her, my divine envoy?" Qian Qian inquired. "Not at all." The sect’s eldest sister shook her head. "Have you made any enemies then?" "What kind of question is that... The list of my enemies could stretch from the Xuanling Sect to the Sacred Immortal Mountains," Tang Xin pondered, "She mentioned that those outside are the remnants of the Blood Sovereign Temple? During the crisis with the Soul-devouring Insects, the Blood Sovereign Temple indeed gathered some non-human races. What happened to them afterward, I'm not sure. Now it seems, they were probably never considered real partners by the Blood Sovereign Temple, merely tools to be used and discarded." But from "Feng Xian's" tone, she, herself, doesn’t seem to be a core member of the Blood Sovereign Temple. If not, where could this person have crossed paths with the sect’s eldest sister to become enemies? "Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Yells of fury echoed from the room. "Why did she get to meet the Ancestral God? Why would the Ancestral God acknowledge a human? The one to become the divine envoy should have been me!"
