The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Chapter 171 Cutting off all possibilities of Lin Xuan accepting disciples

After dealing with Ye Bufan, Gu Qing raised his hand and slapped all of Ye Bufan's followers to death.

Ignoring the prodigies who tried to get close to him, he left the Star Sea Secret Realm and flashed into the boundless starry sky.

Zhi Meng rolled her eyes at him, her expression helpless and somewhat resentful.

Gu Qing chuckled awkwardly.

Somewhat embarrassed.

Zhi Meng asked him to sow discord between Luo Rou and Lin Xuan, but he ended up taking Lin Chuqing out for fun and entertainment.

But you can't blame him for that.

Who would have thought that Luo Rou, a Venerable Realm expert, would still retain mortal habits?

He eats and sleeps all day long, like a little piglet.

Occasionally, when the mood strikes, he'll hurl insults at Zhimeng from afar, then continue eating, drinking, and sleeping—his mental state is simply too beautiful.

Every time he invited Luo Rou out, she would either make up some excuse to decline or she would be sleeping.

What can he do?

He was helpless to have such a terrible teammate.

“Gu Qing…”

When Lin Xuan saw Gu Qing, his face contorted with rage, and his eyes flashed with piercing hatred.

If you were to ask who he most wanted to kill at this moment, it wouldn't be Zhi Meng in front of him, nor Jiang Yu who was aiding and abetting evil, but Gu Qing.

Lin Xuan wasn't stupid; he knew very well that he had ended up in this predicament because of Gu Qing.

Although Jiang Yu had long since changed her mind, she was still polite and courteous to him at first, out of consideration for their past relationship.

However, Gu Qing interfered and sowed discord, making him mistakenly believe that Jiang Yu had fallen in love with someone else, thus causing him to fall out with Jiang Yu.

If he hadn't fallen out with Jiang Yu, he wouldn't have been isolated and helpless in the Star God Temple, bound by the rules.

This led to the deaths of his brothers and disciples one by one.

Thinking about this, Lin Xuan understood.

His greatest enemy in this life is not Zhi Meng, but the ant in front of him that he wants to get rid of but can't.

"Master, he's trying to bully the weak again. You must protect me." Gu Qing tugged at Zhi Meng's long sleeve, his heart filled with doubt.

Lin Xuan, that bastard, has lost all his disciples and has no more scruples. Why hasn't he made a move against Zhi Meng yet?

Does he want to go back to his ex?

It should be impossible.

After the protagonist awakens, he will definitely no longer be a simp.

Then there's only one possibility: Lin Xuan is no match for Zhi Meng; the two of them just fought.

Or perhaps Lin Xuan had ulterior motives at the Star God Temple.

Here we go again… Lin Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot, and he was so angry that his chest felt like it was about to explode.

He was initially deceived by Gu Qing's witty remarks. Her seemingly intimate actions, yet always maintaining a proper distance, led him to mistakenly believe that Jiang Yu and Gu Qing were having an affair.

Now they're trying to use the same old trick again? Do they think he'll fall for it again? What a joke.

Lin Xuan snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Gu Qing guessed correctly; he did indeed exchange blows with Zhi Meng, though only for two moves, but he managed to probe each other's strengths and weaknesses.

The two are evenly matched, and neither can gain the upper hand.

If they really fought, it would take hundreds of years to determine a winner.

Therefore, now is not the time to turn against Zhimeng.

Lin Xuan possesses a disciple-recruiting system; if he recruits a few more exceptionally talented disciples, he will surely become invincible.

It can't be received at the Temple of Stars, but the coronation ceremony of the divine child is about to take place.

The Starry Sky Temple invited immortal lineages from all realms to celebrate, including many peerless geniuses and even chosen ones of destiny.

Lin Xuan wanted to take them as disciples, and when they received the system reward and broke through to the peak of the Divine Fire Realm, that would be the day Gu Qing and Zhi Meng died.

Therefore, for the sake of the greater plan, Lin Xuan chose to endure today's humiliation.

Upon returning to the Starry Temple, Lin Xuan went directly to pay a visit to the mountain peak that hosted the Immortal Dao lineage.

"They've started jumping around again."

Gu Qing took in all of this, her expression filled with worry.

The most terrifying protagonists are those with a system.

Because the system can ignore the rules, once the task is completed, a huge reward can be obtained, and the cultivation level will increase dramatically.

"How long are you going to keep grabbing my sleeve?" Zhi Meng asked quietly, her face expressionless.

"Oh." Gu Qing released his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Master, Lin Xuan is going too far. He doesn't take you seriously at all and has attacked me time and time again. Shouldn't we retaliate?"

That bastard Lin Xuan, relying on his higher cultivation level, has been jumping around in front of him all this time.

Gu Qing couldn't rest easy without retaliating.

If Gu Qing weren't unsure whether he could completely kill Lin Xuan, he would have wanted Zhi Meng to fight Lin Xuan to the death.

Thinking it over, Gu Qing added, "Master, Lin Xuan is eager to take on disciples. Why don't we let him not be able to take on any disciples at all?"

He believed that, given Zhi Meng's domineering and ruthless nature, she would definitely not be able to swallow this insult.

As expected, upon hearing this, a sharp glint appeared in Zhi Meng's usually cold and indifferent eyes.

"You're right, it's time to teach him a lesson."

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The villain was indeed a villain. Despite his many flaws, his domineering and ruthless nature had never changed.

By simply stroking Zhi Meng's fur, the goal was easily achieved.

With Zhi Meng's intervention, Lin Xuan is guaranteed not to take on a single disciple.

Without being able to recruit apprentices, Lin Xuan's apprentice recruitment system is just for show.

However, just to be on the safe side, Gu Qing asked, "Master, what do you plan to do?"

"What else can we do?" Zhi Meng was taken aback, then said irritably.

"You don't think your master is going to do what Lin Xuan did and personally step into the fray to compete with him for those ants, do you?"

"No, Master, you've wronged me."

"Hmph, what a precocious brat."

"Don't worry, with a single decree from your master, I guarantee no one will dare to become Lin Xuan's disciple."

"Master is mighty!" Gu Qing was completely relieved.

After all, the geniuses who can come here are not alone; they must all have a lineage or sect.

Zhi Meng is known as one of the two peerless prodigies who are invincible throughout the myriad realms, and is famous for her ruthlessness and heartlessness.

He killed countless people throughout his life, destroying countless lineages.

Even if those prodigies were desperate to become disciples, the elders of their sects who followed them would definitely try their best to stop them.

Thus, Lin Xuan was dealt with effortlessly.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing felt a pang of pity for Lin Xuan.

A dignified master of the Divine Fire Realm condescended to accept disciples, using all sorts of deception and scheming, but ended up not being able to recruit a single one.

All I can say is, serves them right!

"Don't give me that." A hint of a smile appeared in Zhi Meng's eyes.

"Then, Master, I'm going into seclusion."

Having obtained the Supreme Bone containing the Law of Devouring, Gu Qing couldn't wait to refine it.

If you're lucky enough, the Dao Bone might contain an even more powerful Devouring Law.

There are also chances for Ye Bufan and Zhang Xueyuan to win prizes; who knows what treasures they'll get.

"Go on, go on, don't delay the coronation ceremony."

After Gu Qing left, Zhi Meng narrowed her eyes, parted her red lips slightly, and uttered the true words of the law.

"Anyone who dares to become Lin Xuan's disciple will be my enemy, Zhi Meng, and I will destroy their lineage and exterminate their family."

The sound resounded throughout the Starry Temple, converging into a decree that hung high in the sky, exuding an aura of immortal and indestructible laws.

The stunningly beautiful girl, who had already knelt down and was about to kowtow and become his disciple, was speechless.

She blinked, a look of panic appearing in her clear, bright eyes.

Before she could make a move, the old woman behind her, who looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away, instantly lifted her up.

Without saying a word, he seemed to have wheels of fire under his feet, disappearing in a flash.

It wasn't that she was impolite, but at this moment, whatever she said would either offend Zhimeng or Lin Xuan.

To avoid putting Lin Xuan in a difficult position, she decided to leave first.

Lin Xuan: "..."

Lin Xuan froze for half a second, his calm and composed smile gradually twisting into a distorted expression.

"Zhi Meng..." Lin Xuan roared in fury, his voice like rolling thunder, shattering the decree and forming a divine power that attacked Zhi Meng.

"Humph."

Zhi Meng snorted coldly, her sound waves dispelling Lin Xuan's divine power, her eyes icy.

"Lin Xuan, enough nonsense, I can fight alongside you for a hundred years."

"..."

Lin Xuan's eyes were filled with boundless hatred, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"why?"

Killing his disciple is one thing, but why stop him from accepting disciples?

Doing something so tasteless, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?

"If you harm my disciple, you can forget about taking on a single disciple in the future. If you take on one, I will kill one; if you take on two, I will kill both."

Zhi Meng's cold voice echoed throughout the Starry Sky Temple, sending chills down the spines of countless people.

Because they knew that Zhi Meng was absolutely true to her word.

This is a witch who has no taboos.

A woman who dares to wipe out even her fiancé and her own family shows that she has a somewhat evasive, bloodthirsty, and violent nature.

The crowd that came to offer their congratulations immediately issued a stern warning to the younger generation: they were not allowed to have any contact with Lin Xuan, and no matter what conditions were offered, they were not allowed to become his disciples.

Even without warning from their elders, they wouldn't dare.

Zhi Meng made it clear that if she personally took action to kill them, they wouldn't have enough lives to survive.

"It's over..."

"Gu Qing, you deserve to die..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan knew that his scheme was doomed to fail.

Lin Xuan was furious.

Even a fool could tell that this was definitely Gu Qing's idea, a revenge for his repeated attacks on Gu Qing.

At this moment, Lin Xuan's hatred for Gu Qing rose to another level, becoming even stronger than that of a vengeful ghost, wishing he could tear Gu Qing to pieces.

Lin Xuan felt that Gu Qing was his nemesis and vowed to kill Gu Qing at all costs.
