Chapter 312: 312: The Goddess is Mighty (Four Chapters Today)
"Dare to bully my husband, who’s not letting go of whom is still uncertain!"
After Mu Qiuniang finished her fierce words, she wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. She used her brush to draw a dozen Light Tigers, released them all, and played with the man in black like a cat teasing a mouse.
As for herself, she drew a set of tea tables, tea sets, and snacks, then sat leisurely in a bamboo chair, drinking tea and eating snacks.
"Ah..."
"Ah, help!"
"My arm!"
"My leg, no!"
...
The poor man in black was either caught by a Light Tiger by the arm or by another Light Tiger by the leg. Worse yet, at one point, his entire head was bitten into a tiger’s mouth, and the barbed tongue licked his face, which made him wet his pants.
"I surrender, I surrender..." The man in black, legs weak, knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Mu Qiuniang frowned. She thought she could play for a long time; she didn’t expect the other party to give in so quickly. Wasn’t this Yun Sect said to be one of the three sects and five clans? How come the disciples are so afraid of death, what’s going on?
"Are you going to confess honestly now?" Mu Qiuniang glanced at him disdainfully.
Such a big man still wets his pants; if she hadn’t sealed her sense of smell, wouldn’t she have to smell his urine while eating snacks?
Ugh! So disgusting!
The man in black glanced at the glaring Light Tigers surrounding him, not daring to show any discontent, eagerly saying, "I’ll confess, I’ll confess, I’ll tell you everything!"
"Alright, then tell me, what are you doing here?"
"I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything. It’s like this, the Sect Leader received a message saying that a senior sister from our sect was poisoned based on clues. She died while on a mission recently, so I followed the trail to Lian Nicang, disguised myself as a man in black, and tried to get information from her..."
"Why disguise as a man in black?"
"Because..." The man in black hesitated.
"Hmm?"
Mu Qiuniang just hummed lightly, and a few Light Tigers impatiently clawed and sharpened their claws.
The man in black quickly said, "I’m not quite sure, but there are two kinds of tasks in the sect; one is a sect task, and the other is a man-in-black task. The reward for a man-in-black task is very generous, and most of them are to gather information, so I took this task... I-I really only know this much, Immortal, I’m just here to investigate the cause of the senior sister’s death!"
"Then why did you kill Lian Nicang?"
"It was a task requirement; after getting the information, regardless of whether the person knew the truth, they must be killed."
"Doesn’t your Yun Sect claim to be a reputable sect? Yet, killing innocent people so wantonly." Although Lian Nicang wasn’t entirely innocent, wasn’t it arbitrary to kill without even establishing a crime first?
From what she knew, hadn’t the Cultivation Alliance set a rule that cultivators can’t interfere casually in the mortal world, let alone slaughter ordinary people at will?
Why did she see that Yun Sect people seemed to completely disregard this?
Moreover, that so-called cultivation family young master from the Lei Family even sent people to collect ordinary beauties, aren’t these forbidden deeds?
What on earth is the Cultivation Alliance up to? There are so many sects and families making small moves behind its back, yet it remains unresponsive?
As for this Cultivation Alliance, which she had only heard about and never seen, Mu Qiuniang expressed disdain.
"This..." The man in black lowered his head, aggrieved, "It’s a sect task, I have no choice."
"It seemed like you were quite enjoying the killing, doesn’t seem like your first time."
The man in black stayed silent.
Mu Qiuniang laughed coldly, "Not your first time, yet you dare say you have no choice? Must have killed so many that you’re numb to it."
Mu Qiuniang considered herself not a good person, but she did not have the inexplicable habit of killing.
The man in black didn’t answer, and Mu Qiuniang didn’t need him to. She directly asked, "What task did that deceased senior sister take?"
She hadn’t forgotten that female cultivator who attacked Jiang Nuo.
"I don’t know..."
"Truly don’t know, or pretending not to know?"
The man in black was about to explain when Mu Qiuniang’s expression suddenly changed, not waiting for his response. With a wave of her hand, a gust of wind slapped the man in black into the White Rose bush.
"Ah..." The man in black screamed miserably as the White Rose Vine wrapped around him, and within seconds, he turned into a pile of bones.
Mu Qiuniang acted swiftly, tapping on the tea table, causing it and the items on it to turn into light and disappear into the air.
And the White Rose Vine around her, along with the previously summoned Light Tigers, also turned into Light Fragments and vanished into the air.
Subsequently, Mu Qiuniang transformed into White Rose petals and disappeared.

Where is this place?
Jiang Nuo slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he did, he was startled, for he found himself bound like a mummy, tied to a cross like Jesus, and this cross was erected inside a golden array.
He knew it was a golden array because the person casting the spell was chanting, and the array beneath his feet was glowing.
A looming sense of loss gripped Jiang Nuo’s heart, making him feel very uneasy, as if—losing whatever it was would surely bring misfortune.
Outside the entire array stood twelve men in black, wearing black hats and black cloaks, each holding a book, chanting: "￥#￥%￥#@%...￥@#!￥*&%@*..."
The ancient Sanskrit sounded as if it came from a distant past, heavy yet historical, worn yet mysterious.
As the array brightened, Jiang Nuo felt a tearing pain transmitting from his body.
What he couldn’t see was the powerful Purple Energy in his body being absorbed by something like a Furnace, attempting to strip it away.
It was this thing that induced the sensation of pain.
"Ah..." He cried out in pain.
Just then, his ring emitted a burst of white light, forming a cocoon-like Light Shield that enveloped him.
The tearing pain gradually faded away.
Jiang Nuo breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, his wife left him good stuff; otherwise, he would really have been in trouble!
Damn, wasn’t he with Gong Leitian and them on a mission? How did he go from being in an abandoned factory before passing out to waking up in a place surrounded by pitch-black walls, not knowing where he was at all?
"What’s going on?"
A gender-neutral voice sounded, and Jiang Nuo realized that there was another man in black standing in the darkness where he could not see.
"He has a Defensive Array on him," one of the twelve men in black answered.
"Didn’t I tell you to remove everything from his body?"
"We did strip him completely, even took away his triangular briefs," one of the twelve men in black replied with grievance, indicating that he even stripped him completely, so how would they know where the stuff was hidden?
If Jiang Nuo heard, he would also feel aggrieved: "I didn’t hide anything, I don’t know why it cloaked itself after I passed out."
"Then where did the Defensive Array on him come from?" the boss asked angrily.
"We don’t know either."
"Useless!"
