The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 780 - 432: Elder He’s Counterattack2

More importantly, such testimony imdiately brings to mind the allegation made so days ago by the elder from Tianya Sea Pavilion against Jiu Mo: colluding with external enemies and harming Hidden Stream. Many people initially scoffed at the accusation, but now have to give it more thought. After all, gossip inherently possesses the "Three n Make a Tiger" phenonon, where if false information is repeated enough, it can seem true.

For a long ti, everyone in Hidden Stream, from top to bottom, has been indulging in gossip. Surprisingly, even Ning Xiaoxian did not anticipate that what most people relished was the news of Jiu Mo detaining Li Jianming. Li actually has quite an impressive appearance, so after the rumors were passed around, they sohow got twisted into a romantic scandal between Lord Jiu Mo and the Human Clan’s envoy Li Jianming. This led to many in the demon crowd discussing the struggle between Jiu Mo and Elder He almost with indecent glee, their faces practically blazoned with lewd and petty words as they gleefully start their stories with an unspeakable tale about the Master... Who could bla them when Jiu Mo’s private life was indeed rather unrestrained?

"Turns out n love gossip just as much!" Ning Xiaoxian almost collapsed into Changtian’s arms laughing when she received the news. "And here we are in warti. If it were peaceti, who knows how many versions of rumors would be made up."

"These versions might as well have been released by Elder He himself," Changtian said as he pinched her cheek, hmm, very smooth, nice to the touch, "As you said, a scandalous news can strike a huge blow to the credibility of those in power. Elder He can’t wait to boil the frog in warm water anymore; he needs to defeat his opponent with a heavy punch as soon as possible. If he wants our support, he must first demonstrate his own capabilities."

Hmm, Elder He’s thinking is quite advanced, using tricks commonly employed by Earthlings. However, if his power is only at this level, it won’t be enough to bring Jiu Mo down.

While she pondered, she casually doodled with her finger on Changtian’s collarbone. Who says only won can have "beautiful bones"? Without an undergarnt, the appearance of a man’s collarbone under a black robe can be enticingly discernible. Suddenly, Changtian pressed down on her hand, and the color in his eyes rapidly darkened while the skin her fingertips touched felt hot—Changtian’s body temperature is normally very low, low enough to cool her off in sumr, but it only becos scorching when he’s aroused. From this perspective, his body is much more honest than his mouth.

She chuckled with her head lowered, unaware of the palpitations in Changtian’s eyes.

As the years passed, a touch of allure would inadvertently flash across the bright apricot eyes of the girl who was nearing twenty, elusive upon closer inspection yet tantalizingly itchy. She’s grown from the green young girl from the small village four years ago, to a young woman blooming into maturity, her every smile and frown as she grew into an exquisite allure of a grown woman. Even in the opulent and enchanting Ba Snake Mountain Range, her appeal to male demons was no less significant than that of the dazzling banshees. In fact, lately, quite a few demons had been showing their affection in their own ways, but she rejected them all, both verbally and physically. Not long ago, she threw a would-be thief, who attempted to break the Barrier and sneak into her territory, high up into the air.

Over these four years, only he has stayed with her day and night, watching as she slowly matured like a rose blossoming. He enjoys the look in her eyes when she mischievously smiles at him, as well as the blurred longing in her eyes during tender monts, hence he detests the way other males look at her. He yearns for her desperately, but does not wish to practice the rites of Zhou Gong in the God Demon Prison; she deserves better.

Alas, when will he be able to proudly stand before her and declare his ownership of her?

Suddenly, he bent down and fiercely bit her shoulder.

"Ouch!" It hurt. What sudden madness had taken him? Ning Xiaoxian’s eyes instantly welled with tears, it’s a good thing she was well-practiced; had this bite been on a mortal, it would likely have torn off flesh. This guy is getting increasingly fond of biting, when did he pick up this bad habit?!

Qiongqi kept his head down, silent: "Can I pretend I’m not here?"

=======

Elder He actually faced two problems: one, how to pull Jiu Mo down; and two, how to lift himself up. These were distinct issues; even if he could dethrone Jiu Mo from the position of Sect Leader, what gave him the right to sit there himself? Within Hidden Stream, people vie for the spot and it doesn’t just go to the most virtuous.

Jiu Mo wasn’t just a puppet who could only take hits; her team also followed suit and spread nurous rumors about Elder He within Hidden Stream, the most significant of which accused him of blowing up the Immortal Plant Garden.

It must be said that sotis the truth is in the hands of the few. Unfortunately for Elder He, he has dedicated hundreds of years to building personal reputation with his ticulous and sincere approach to life and work ingrained in people’s hearts. Based on his industriousness at work and the fact that he toils night and day over the care of the Blood Parasol trees, who could believe that he would have the heart to destroy the Immortal Plant Garden that had been by his side for hundreds of years? Is there a more unreliable rumor than this out there?(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to cast your recomndation ticket and monthly ticket on Qidian (qidian).
