Chapter 316: Bai Mu Mu Completely Exposed

The scene was just like when Shen Sang Ruo once saw Bai Mu Mu kill Tian Hao Tian, who had Attained the Dao.

But this time it was different: the gap in cultivation between Bai Mu Mu and Master Ling Xiao was too big. Even though he was caught off guard, he reacted at once and flung her away.

The broken porcelain shard stopped an inch from his heart.

Ignoring his wound, Master Ling Xiao stared hard at Bai Mu Mu. His face looked like it might shatter, and his voice trembled as he demanded: “You actually tried to kill me?”

He cried out in grief: “From the moment you came to Thunder-Scale Peak, I treated you as my most beloved Disciple. I taught you to cultivate and searched for techniques for you.”

He went on, voice raw: “Even now, I risked my life to protect you. You died, and I pulled you back from the Gates of Hell.”

He nearly roared: “Why? Why did you try to kill me? I treated you with a true heart. How did I ever wrong you?”

Master Ling Xiao was close to breaking down.

Shen Dao Chen looked like the sky had fallen as he shouted: “Bai Mu Mu, you are insane! He is your Master!”

Furious and shaking, he added: “Malevolent Spirit, you really are a Malevolent Spirit. Do you plan to kill us too?”

The two men who had sworn Bai Mu Mu was kind and pure felt like a bucket of cold water had slammed into them. [Only when pain hit their own bodies did they finally wake up.]

The chill soaked them to the bone, as if they were standing in an ice cellar. They were heartsick.

At this point Bai Mu Mu stopped pretending. [She had long been done with this act.] She tore off the mask right there.

She snapped: “Who wants your favor? What are you two anyway? I have disliked you for a long time.”

She sneered: “Everyone in Flying Cloud Sect is a fool. If not for my strategy task, why would I even look at you?”

With pride she said: “All I had to do was play the victim and move a finger, and I made you dance. You turned your blame on Shen Sang Ruo and even drove her out of the sect.”

She finished coldly: “You made Shen Sang Ruo, who should have been close to you, give up on you completely.”

Master Ling Xiao and Shen Dao Chen looked sick. This was Bai Mu Mu’s true face. They had been fooled by her act for years.

Bai Mu Mu threw Shen Sang Ruo a taunting look and asked: “How does it feel to watch me steal the love that should have been yours? How does it feel to be wronged by the people you trusted and not be able to defend yourself?”

[What she regretted most was not killing Shen Sang Ruo.] Her strategy task had been ruined by Shen Sang Ruo, and lately her plans kept getting broken.

She could not touch Shen Sang Ruo, so she tried to stab her with old so-called victories.

Too bad Shen Sang Ruo was not angry like she imagined. Shen Sang Ruo only looked at her with cold eyes, as if watching a joke. Bai Mu Mu was already doomed.

Bai Mu Mu gritted her teeth and turned her attack back to Master Ling Xiao and Shen Dao Chen.

She laughed wildly and mocked them: “You are so stupid, unbelievably stupid.”

In the next moment she suddenly changed into that weak, gentle look from before. The speed of that switch was shocking.

Acting pitiful, she cooed: “Master, did you not say you loved me the most? Then you will not mind if Mu Mu takes some of your cultivation, right?”

Master Ling Xiao’s face changed. A moment ago he had still been drowning in grief that she tried to kill him.

Now, hearing this, he finally felt his cultivation leaking away. Very soon he would fall from the Void Refinement Stage.

Shen Sang Ruo raised a brow. Through the System, she already knew Bai Mu Mu’s strategy task, and she knew Master Ling Xiao had met the conditions. [His loss of cultivation could count as his penance for misjudging people.] All that they had done made them Bai Mu Mu’s helpers.

Master Ling Xiao truly panicked then. He shouted in a harsh voice: “Monster, what did you do to me?”

He no longer called her Mu Mu. He called her monster. The love from before had turned into pure rage.

Bai Mu Mu looked pleased with his reaction and curled her lips: “It is only a pity I could not kill you, Master. If I had, all your cultivation would be mine.”

Shen Dao Chen looked hurt as he asked: “Did you come to Flying Cloud Sect just to kill us and steal our cultivation?” His eyes even held a faint glimmer of tears.

After all, Bai Mu Mu was his biological daughter. He still had a little hope for her.

He pleaded: “Mu Mu, you are my daughter. How can you do this to us?”

Bai Mu Mu cut him off with a roar: “Shut up.”

She spat: “Who wants to be the daughter of a hypocrite like you? You are so fake. I even admire Shen Sang Ruo for putting up with you for so many years.”

Shen Dao Chen felt like he had been struck by lightning. Bai Mu Mu threw his pride on the ground and stomped on it. The last trace of hope in his heart vanished.

Bai Mu Mu still did not think the blow was hard enough. [She had come ready to die and wanted to repay every bit of humiliation.] She went on without mercy.

She said with a cold smile: “Your daughter died long ago.”

She added, using words he could understand: “Do you know what Body Seizure is? I was never your daughter.”

She twisted the knife: “I killed your daughter, and you still treated me like your own and spoiled me. Tell me, if your daughter knew, would she be so mad she came back to life?”

Shen Dao Chen’s eyes went wide. He froze, then rage filled his face.

His chest heaved as he roared: “Monster, I will kill you. I will kill you.”

On the other side, Master Ling Xiao had fallen below Void Refinement. He had risked half his life to reach the Void Refinement Stage. Now his heart was like ashes, and he had only one thought, which was to kill Bai Mu Mu.

Two Divine Transformation Stage experts struck at her at the same time. How could Bai Mu Mu resist?

Even Feng He Yun and Lu Shi Qing used killing moves on her.

Shen Sang Ruo and her two companions stood quietly and watched, their eyes mostly on Bai Mu Mu. [Even if the System was gone from her, she might have left herself a back door.]

Bai Mu Mu took a deep breath and forced down the fear of death. With vicious eyes she declared: “Even if I die, I will bury the whole Flying Cloud Sect with me.”

As soon as she said it, the four attacks slammed toward her together.

She formed hand seals, and a beam of light shot straight into the sky, as if she had activated a formation.

Then she poured in the cultivation she had just stolen from Master Ling Xiao. No one knew what she did, but Shen Sang Ruo felt the System in her hand shake violently. Even her Divine Soul Power could barely hold it down.

The four attacks then landed on Bai Mu Mu, and she died on the spot.

To everyone else, that was all they saw. But Shen Sang Ruo saw Bai Mu Mu’s spirit rushing toward the System in her hand.

The two pulled at each other, creating a powerful suction.

If Bai Mu Mu’s spirit merged with the System again, it would surely find a new body for a Corpse-borrowed Rebirth.

Shen Sang Ruo at once used her Divine Soul Power to bind Bai Mu Mu’s spirit.
