Chapter 502: Chapter 250: Blood-robed Saintess

"By the way, the Profound Celestial Sect must have the same speculation over there, right?" The woman in yellow looked towards the head seat and said.

Madam Ying He nodded indifferently, "Speculation is ultimately just speculation. Shangguan Yu wouldn’t risk the increased power of the ’Five Declines of Heaven and Man’ to go and kill. What if Chu Xuan isn’t there?"

"Even if Shangguan Yu can’t find him and then immediately rushes back to the Great Void Heaven, suppressing the already active and raging disaster again will be a big trouble, and he won’t be able to go out for a long time."

"So he either doesn’t make a move, or if he does, he’ll make sure to kill Chu Xuan without giving him the slightest chance to turn the tables."

Since it takes time to gather internal intelligence from the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion, Wugen Ping’s side first heard about Shangguan Yu’s matter from external rumors and then learned about Pei Shurou’s departure.

"Speaking of which," the woman in yellow reported:

"There are rumors circulating now that Shangguan Yu has been relying on a certain demonic secret technique for years, devouring the bloodline of direct descendants to combat the disaster, making him a complete cannibal demon."

"It is also said that the Shangguan family supports evil and acts as accomplices, not worthy of calling themselves righteous."

"The news has spread and once again stirred up public opinion outside, and we don’t know if it’s true or false."

Even Ying He was surprised when she heard this latest intelligence, "Let me see, where did the source come from?"

The woman in yellow sent the jade slip up across the air and said, "There are multiple sources, all released at the same time, making it difficult to trace back. However, one source is from Qingxu Temple. I suspect it’s Yao Yufei’s handiwork."

Madam Ying He finished reading and thought for a moment, "Interesting. If it’s true, it would disrupt the enemy’s morale. I think such a top secret isn’t known to everyone within the Shangguan family."

"If those young ones, who have grown up with a proper upbringing in righteousness, find out they are just snacks in the eyes of their ancestor, what would they think?"

"Even if it’s false, it’ll make them flustered—a good strategy."

The woman in yellow nodded, "We are constantly tracking the latest intelligence on the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable, and we assure that it will be delivered to the leader promptly, but..."

She looked somewhat puzzled and even uneasy, "I don’t know why you’re so interested in him?"

Actually, the woman had wanted to ask this question for a long time. In earlier years, the leader showed significant interest in the up-and-coming genius disciple of the Dao Palace, Chu Xuan. The organization always had dedicated people collecting his intelligence.

Even when Chu Xuan purchased intelligence about his senior sister from Wugen Ping, the leader gave it significant importance, personally handling the response, even writing the reply herself.

Chu Xuan also suspected Bai Xiaosheng of being someone from Wugen Ping, prompting the organization to warn him, which the leader indeed sent someone to do.

In the end, she even offered Chu Xuan a twenty percent discount! Oh, goodness, when did Wugen Ping ever give discounts to customers?

The woman in yellow knew full well that saying the leader was a penny pincher was an understatement. It wasn’t that she lacked ’money,’ but that she enjoyed the feeling of amassing wealth and the sense of achievement as a miser.

Anyway, it was the first time the woman had known the leader to offer a discount proactively.

She had asked for the reason that time, but the leader had casually given an excuse, saying that befriending this young talent would benefit the organization and called it "advance investment."

The woman accepted it with skepticism until ten years ago, during the Gui Xu Grotto Heaven battle, when it suddenly emerged that Chu Xuan was the reincarnation of the Celestial Evil Demon, which indeed startled her!

Because, as far as she knew, during the third righteous and demonic war, the leader was quite active and seemed well-versed in the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable.

Originally, she could comfort herself by saying that Wugen Ping’s main job was gathering intelligence, so it was normal for the leader to know about the Celestial Evil since she seized complete power during that period.

But learning that Chu Xuan and the Celestial Evil were essentially the same person, all of this made it hard for the woman in yellow not to overthink:

Could it be... the leader and the Celestial Evil Demon Venerable knew each other?

If it’s just a past acquaintance, that’s fine. She’s just worried the leader would be bewitched by the damn Celestial Evil, or that there’s some unspeakable relationship between them...

Hearing the diligent "Water Envoy’s" question, Madam Ying He smiled playfully, "Why, do you care so much?"

"Subordinate is just worried for the leader. The Celestial Evil is such a notorious lecher, it really isn’t advisable to have too much contact with him. Otherwise, I’m afraid you might fall prey to his wiles." The woman in yellow had sword-like brows and her eyes expressed a hint of determination."

Madam Ying He lazily waved her hand, "Do you really think I’m that easy to win over?"

"Or are you saying you’ve also believed in the external rumors about the ’Hearts Enchanting Evil Technique’?"

"Yun’er, you have a prejudice against the Celestial Evil, that’s not good. He has his merits. Otherwise, why would those women fall head over heels for him?"

"Including the Pei Shurou you don’t understand. You’ve only heard a rough story from me. Even I don’t know the details, let alone you. ’A fish isn’t aware of the joy of another fish.’"

The woman addressed as "Yun’er" said with a stern face, "Prejudice it may be, but I have no fondness for such people and don’t want to have any relation to him."

Madam Ying He chuckled lightly and said nothing more, but softly hummed a lyric: "With mercy, let’s write off the past affair."

"With joy, her beauty gradually unfolds, her beauty gradually unfolds. It’s fortunate I reclaim golden coins beside her knee."

"Please loosen your robe, fear not shame, hasten to extinguish the lamp, don’t linger..."
