The Quest for Immortality

In the blurry vision of Divine Sense, within the bedchamber of the Wang family’s mistress, there were two figures, their actions unknown.

Mo Hua wanted to enter and drag out the Flower Gentleman, but Murong Caiyun forbade him from entering.

”You’re still young; don’t sully your eyes.”

Mo Hua blinked, not quite understanding, but obediently did not go inside.

Thus, Ouyang Feng and Shangguan Xu stood guard outside.

Murong Caiyun and Hua Qianqian entered the bedchamber.

Shortly afterward, a woman’s scream echoed from the room, followed by a disheveled man, who, struck by spells and Spirit Needles, spat blood and fled desperately through the broken window.

Mo Hua was still a bit curious, so he stealthily peeked into the chamber through the broken window.

Inside the chamber, there was a mess, with robes and skirts strewn about.

A disheveled woman, covering her body with a quilt, yelled furiously:

”How audacious!”

”Who are you?”

”How dare you trespass into the Wang family’s private quarters?”

Outside, the Flower Gentleman was already intercepted by Ouyang Feng and Shangguan Xu.

Murong Caiyun sneered coldly at the woman: ”You’re the Family Head’s wife, yet you lure a rapist into your chambers and have the audacity to show no shame!”

The woman glared arrogantly at Murong Caiyun:

”What rapist?”

”You little girl, what do you know? My gentleman loves me. He said that he only replenishes from other women to enhance his cultivation and has no real feelings for them...”

”And he treats me differently; thus, he is only intimate with me and doesn’t drain my Vital Energy...”

As the woman spoke, jealousy surged within her heart, ”Those cheap women, to be replenished by the gentleman... they’re really getting the better part of the deal...”

Murong Caiyun felt a surge of anger, her teeth itching in fury, momentarily at a loss for words.

Mo Hua was eavesdropping outside and ”kindly” interjected:

”He doesn’t replenish from you because he might be raising you like a ’pig’, waiting for your cultivation to improve, then to deplete you in one go...”

Mo Hua’s words were piercing, yet his face was sympathetic.

After all, the reality was clear; a dog can’t change its eating habits, nor can a rapist stop replenishing.

”Pigs, they’re fattened before being slaughtered...”

The woman was stunned by his words, her defenses shattered.

Blood rushed to her face, turning it red, as she pointed at Mo Hua with trembling fingers, ”You, you this...”

She was about to curse out loud, when she was silenced by Hua Qianqian using a Spirit Needle, pricking an acupoint, causing her to faint.

Although this woman had attained Foundation Establishment, being pampered and privileged, she only knew how to secretly indulge in lovers behind her husband’s back, her strength so weak it was infuriating.

As for how this woman would be dealt with, that was to be decided by the Wang family, and also by the judgment of the Taoist Court.

The urgent matter at hand was to capture the rapist.

The rapist had fled through the window and attempted to escape, only to be caught by Ouyang Feng and Shangguan Xu waiting outside.

Ouyang Feng’s sword was like the wind, and Shangguan Xu’s like a mountain.

The two enclosed the rapist, giving him no chance to escape.

When Mo Hua came out and saw, he recognized the man’s handsome appearance and sickly pale complexion; he was indeed the debauched ”Flower Gentleman.”

Like many rapists, the Flower Gentleman was skilled in movement techniques but mediocre in Taoist skills.

During his fight with Ouyang Feng, he was at a disadvantage, but his movements were as graceful as falling flowers, wrapped in pink mist, allowing him to hold off for the time being without any immediate threat to his life.

Soon, cultivators from the Wang family also gathered, each expressing shock in their own way.

Some sneered, watching as if it were a joke; some covered their faces, feeling disgraced; others were filled with righteous indignation...

A number of Wang family cultivators then joined forces to attack, attempting to catch the Flower Gentleman.

But their ineptitude was a hindrance, inadvertently giving the Flower Gentleman a chance to catch his breath.

Mo Hua was initially upset, but noticing the evasive looks of the Wang family cultivators, he realized something.

Catching the Flower Gentleman solidified the scandal; the Wang family’s reputation would be damaged.

Having a mistress in the family nurturing a rapist would turn into a massive scandal.

The Wang family would become a laughingstock in the entire Luan Mountain City, ridiculed for hundreds of years.

Ideally, the Wang family would capture the Flower Gentleman and kill him on the spot, destroy the body, and deny everything.

Otherwise, letting the Flower Gentleman escape, making the affair nothing more than ”rumors,” would be the second best outcome.

The worst scenario would be if the Flower Gentleman fell into the hands of Mo Hua and his fellow sect disciples and was then brought before the Taoist Court, tried and recorded.

That would turn the affair into irrevocable fact, embarrassing the entire Wang family.

Thus, their primary goal was to capture the Flower Gentleman.

Failing that, they must also prevent the Flower Gentleman from falling into the hands of these few sect disciples...

Understanding this, Mo Hua smiled subtly and chose not to intervene but instead sat back to watch the show.

The actions of the Wang family cultivators did not surprise Mo Hua.

Knowing they couldn’t catch the Flower Gentleman, they began to deliberately trip up Ouyang Feng and Shangguan Xu.

Realizing this, Ouyang Feng and Shangguan Xu became annoyed and began attacking more severely.

Since the Wang family cultivators pretended to help but hindered them, they pretended to ”slip up” and struck a few of them with their swords.

Feeling guilty, the Wang family cultivators dared not complain.

However, this chaos served to benefit the Flower Gentleman, allowing him easier chances to escape, and after a few swift movements, he had managed to put several meters between himself and Ouyang Feng and Shangguan Xu.

This distance was enough for him to make his escape.

Ouyang Feng, slightly angered, whipped up his Spiritual Power and his Sword Qi became fierce, ready to forcefully strike, intending to cut down the intervening Wang family cultivators as well.
