After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 266 - Do You Know That’s My Fiancé?!

Mu Yanli’s plan in the Fox Clan territory was actually very simple.

She just wanted to get a Moon Origin from Xia Zhiyue.

As for the Ghost Controlling Sect’s war against the Fox Clan, Mu Yanli had absolutely no interest.

What benefit would she gain from destroying the Fox Clan?

To be honest, if Li Xuan hadn’t helped her scheme against Xia Zhiyue, Mu Yanli would have parted ways with him long ago. She had no time to waste on invading a Fox Clan that was no longer valuable to her.

In Mu Yanli’s opinion, she would rather return to the Abyssal Cliff in the northern secret realm and settle her grudges with her fiancé from the Spirit Phoenix Sect.

Thus, during the two weeks of conflict in the Fox Clan territory, Mu Yanli had already grown impatient with Li Xuan. She wasn’t his bodyguard and didn’t have time to waste on him.

As everyone knew, Mu Yanli was an opportunist.

She had even betrayed He Ange, so why would she care about Li Xuan, a minor player from the Ghost Controlling Sect?

In the Fox Clan territory, Li Xuan had wasted Mu Yanli’s time, so naturally, she wanted to collect her dues. fгeewebnovёl.com

The only reason she hadn’t turned on him earlier was that she was waiting for the right moment.

But today, that moment had finally come.

Now, the Ghost Controlling Sect was in full retreat at the Fox Clan border, and its Holy Son, Li Xuan, was on the run. This was the perfect opportunity for Mu Yanli to strike.

Halfway through the battle, Mu Yanli had sensed an ominous feeling in the air and predicted Li Xuan’s downfall.

So, she had left the battlefield early and returned to the secret base, which had a teleportation array, ready to escape at any moment.

Moreover, while Li Xuan was away, Mu Yanli had secretly ordered the Blood Refining Sect’s protectors to kill all the Ghost Controlling Sect members in the base.

Thus, the secret base was now entirely under Mu Yanli’s control.

After killing the Ghost Controlling Sect members, she sat on the throne, waiting with interest for Li Xuan to return and beg for help.

During this time, Li Xuan had repeatedly called for help, but Mu Yanli ignored him.

The battlefield on the Fox Clan border was chaotic, and Mu Yanli didn’t need to see it to know how fierce the battle was just by the earth-shaking sounds.

Mu Yanli guessed that the Empress must have sent several first-grade Dragon Generals to the Fox Clan territory, and Li Xuan’s Corpse Puppet Army had finally met its match.

Mu Yanli wasn’t stupid. Though she was a villain, her relationship with the Dragon Dynasty wasn’t bad. She had no reason to offend the Dragon Dynasty for the Ghost Controlling Sect. If the Empress wanted to colonize the Fox Clan’s land, so be it. Why should Mu Yanli oppose her?

So, when Li Xuan returned, Mu Yanli wasn’t worried or scared but instead smiled meaningfully.

She planned to kill Li Xuan, take his head and the resources from the Ghost Controlling Sect’s base, and make a deal with the Dragon Dynasty’s higher-ups.

Betraying the Ghost Controlling Sect wouldn’t hurt Mu Yanli.

First, she didn’t care about the Ghost Controlling Sect’s feelings.

Second, Mu Yanli had killed all the Ghost Controlling Sect members in the base. With no witnesses, how would the Ghost Controlling Sect know that Li Xuan had been killed by Mu Yanli?

This time in the Fox Clan war, Mu Yanli had planned to make a huge profit.

But when she heard Li Xuan explain the situation, Mu Yanli’s smug expression froze.

“The one chasing me is—it’s the Holy Son of the Spirit Phoenix Sect, He Yuan—”

Upon hearing He Yuan’s name, the white-haired Saintess on the throne shuddered, her blood-red eyes narrowing.

He Yuan? Why is he here?

Isn’t the Spirit Phoenix Sect in the northern icy plains? Why would He Ange come all the way to the Fox Clan to kill Li Xuan?

Boom!

Just as Mu Yanli thought she must have misheard, the base’s door was blown open.

In the next moment, a young man in moon-white robes with a handsome face and tall posture stepped into the base, meeting the gaze of the white-haired Saintess on the high platform.

She looked at him, and he looked at her.

Mu Yanli hadn’t expected He Ange to be here, but on the other hand, He Ange couldn’t have anticipated that the infamous Blood Moon Witch would appear in the Ghost Controlling Sect’s base.

Wait.

Besides that, He Ange noticed something strange.

If he remembered correctly, while the Ghost Controlling Sect had committed war crimes in the Fox Clan, the two masterminds behind the plot against Xia Zhiyue were the Blood Refining Sect’s Saintess and the Ghost Controlling Sect’s Holy Son.

And looking at this white-haired witch’s attire—a red dress, gemstone necklace, blood-silver phoenix hairpin, and bare feet with a veil...

This was undoubtedly an exotic fashion!

At this thought, a terrifying idea struck He Ange.

Could Mu Yanli, this villainous woman, have a second identity?

On the surface, she was the Blood Moon Witch, a once-in-a-thousand-years prodigy of the Moon Sect. But in secret, was she also the Blood Refining Sect’s Saintess, inheritor of an evil god?

This matched the two ancient god inheritances Mu Yanli possessed!

Hiss...

He Ange sucked in a cold breath, his expression no longer calm.

He was indeed a cautious villain, but today he had miscalculated.

If Li Xuan had called for ordinary demonic sect protectors, He Ange wouldn’t have been too worried. But if Li Xuan had brought Mu Yanli, this old demon, with two ancient god inheritances, a monster on par with An Luo Yi...

He Ange wasn’t afraid to scheme against Mu Yanli, but in a sudden encounter, he didn’t think he could gain any advantage.

To deal with Mu Yanli safely, He Ange would need some preparation.

“It’s you.”

Just as He Ange and Mu Yanli stared at each other, neither daring to speak first, An Luo Yi, who had arrived behind them, recognized the white-haired Saintess on the throne.

How could she not recognize her?

Mu Yanli was the biggest shadow in An Luo Yi’s life. Besides He Ange, An Luo Yi had never been so thoroughly defeated by any villain!

Back in the northern border, when An Luo Yi fought Mu Yanli, even though An Luo Yi had taken advantage of her, she hadn’t gained any real advantage from Mu Yanli.

An Luo Yi acknowledged Mu Yanli’s strength, but she hated Mu Yanli’s character. Their grudge had been planted during that trial in the northern secret realm.

The Chosen Heroine and the Chosen Witch were born to be incompatible.

Clang!

Immediately, An Luo Yi summoned her sword.

The silver-haired fairy glared at the red-robed Saintess, her cold eyes filled with hostility and vigilance.

Although they were old enemies, without prior preparation, and with Mu Yanli not making the first move, An Luo Yi didn’t dare to charge forward recklessly.

Who knew if Mu Yanli and Li Xuan had set up an ambush in the base?

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense.

But strangely, An Luo Yi noticed that unlike their previous encounters in the northern border, this time Mu Yanli wasn’t focusing on her but was instead staring at He Ange with a meaningful, mysterious look.

He Ange, being stared at by Mu Yanli, naturally felt uncomfortable.

Honestly, no matter how well he calculated, he couldn’t guess Mu Yanli’s thoughts. She was eccentric and mysterious, acting solely on her whims.

If Mu Yanli had shown hostility or killing intent toward He Ange, it would have been normal.

But now, the weird thing was that Mu Yanli didn’t seem hostile toward him.

The last time, He Ange had defeated her and taken a lot of her cultivation. She had vowed to take revenge on him.

Yet, in less than a few months, when they met again, the coldness and malice in her eyes had diminished.

Not only that, but after staring at He Ange for a while, Mu Yanli composed herself and smiled meaningfully, as if she had thought of something.

“It’s not the enemy knocking on your door that you should fear, but the enemy smiling silently at you.”

This was how He Ange felt.

The more Mu Yanli smiled silently at him, the more uneasy He Ange became. He felt that this treacherous witch was probably planning some underhanded revenge.

The two looked at each other, their faces calm but their minds racing.

“...?”

Seeing both sides standing still, Li Xuan, kneeling at Mu Yanli’s feet, felt confused.

He had run all the way back to this base in the depths of the forest to seek help from his demonic allies.

But now, the entire base was filled with a strange atmosphere.

First, Li Xuan had noticed that in the base’s front hall, besides the red-robed Saintess sitting on the throne and several Blood Refining Sect protectors around her, there were no Ghost Controlling Sect members to be seen.

This was strange!

Normally, this base should have been guarded by many Ghost Controlling Sect members. Where were they?

Moreover, the situation at the Fox Clan border was critical. Li Xuan had barely managed to lure He Yuan and An Luo Yi into the base, so why wasn’t Mu Yanli ordering an ambush to kill them?

“What are you waiting for? Kill them!”

Seeing Mu Yanli and He Ange exchanging glances, Li Xuan couldn’t wait any longer and shouted.

His voice broke the tense atmosphere in the base.

Immediately, He Ange glanced at Li Xuan, summoned his sword, and prepared for a battle with the Blood Refining Sect’s Saintess and protectors.

An Luo Yi did the same.

But their vigilance didn’t anger the red-robed Saintess on the throne.

Instead, Mu Yanli took a deep breath and turned to Li Xuan, her blood-red eyes narrowing with a disdainful, mocking smile.

“Li Xuan, oh Li Xuan.”

“Do you not know that this Holy Son of the Spirit Phoenix Sect, He Yuan, is my Blood Refining Sect’s future husband?”

She smiled, enjoying the stunned expressions, her legs crossed under her red dress, one foot dangling provocatively.

“To disrespect my future husband...”

“Li Xuan, I think you’ve lived too long.”

With that, the Blood Refining Sect’s Saintess’s smile vanished.

From her throne, she thrust her hand toward Li Xuan.

“Saintess Mu, you—?”

Thud!

Before Li Xuan could finish, a blood spike shot up from the ground, piercing his chest and pinning him to the wall like a rag.

As Li Xuan screamed in pain, blood splattering, Mu Yanli showed no mercy, as if crushing a noisy insect.

“Mu Yanli!”

“You traitor! I trusted you, and you turn against me at the last moment!”

Li Xuan endured the pain, cursing with unprecedented hatred.

He had never imagined that his ally would betray him for such a ridiculous reason.

Mu Yanli claimed that He Yuan, the Holy Son of the Spirit Phoenix Sect, was her fiancé.

What kind of nonsense marriage was this?

Li Xuan knew that the Blood Refining Sect and the Spirit Phoenix Sect were on good terms, but he had never heard of any marriage alliance between them.

But unfortunately, Mu Yanli didn’t care what Li Xuan thought.

To her, Li Xuan was just a disposable pawn.

As such, he had to serve his last purpose for her.

Thinking this, Mu Yanli clenched her teeth, increasing the pressure of the blood spike, causing Li Xuan to convulse in pain, unable to speak.

Then, the white-haired witch smiled sweetly at He Ange.

“He Yuan, how would you like me to deal with this despicable dog, Li Xuan? I’ll listen to you.”

Her voice was gentle and kind, her smile charming and flattering.

Compared to her earlier coldness toward Li Xuan, the red-robed Saintess seemed like a different person!

At this moment, not only were He Ange and An Luo Yi caught off guard, but even Li Xuan, pinned to the wall by the blood spike, was stunned.

Originally, Li Xuan had helped Mu Yanli kill Xia Zhiyue, and Mu Yanli had agreed to help him invade the Fox Clan.

Now, Li Xuan had helped Mu Yanli obtain the Moon Origin, but Mu Yanli had betrayed him to please an enemy.

“You bitch—!”

Li Xuan was so angry he spat blood, but even in death, he wanted to curse Mu Yanli one last time.

But he only managed to say “bitch” before Mu Yanli’s smile turned icy, her blood-red eyes glowing as she clenched her fist.

In front of everyone, Li Xuan exploded into a bloody pulp.

After killing Li Xuan, Mu Yanli took a deep breath to calm her anger.

Then, she put on a bright, graceful smile again.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help but kill that scum Li Xuan without your permission. I hope you don’t mind, He Yuan.”

“But as compensation, I’m willing to give you all the Ghost Controlling Sect’s resources in this base, as a token of—”

Here, the red-robed Saintess paused.

She deliberately looked at the silver-haired fairy and smiled meaningfully.

“As a token of friendship and alliance between our Blood Refining Sect and the Spirit Phoenix Sect.”
