After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 159 - "Jue Wuqing Colluded with the Evil Sect! Irrefutable Evidence! "

To the followers under Feng Yuan, Xuanque might just be a cute and timid little green bird. But to the rest of the world, Xuanque was a colossal bird spirit, stretching dozens of meters in length with a wingspan nearing a hundred feet!

And this wasn’t just any bird spirit. Xuanque, now shrouded in illusionary magic, had phoenix eyes glowing with a sinister crimson light. Her wings emanated abyssal demonic energy, trailing long black flames, like a devil descending from hell to the mortal world.

Not only that,

Wherever the black bird soared, no grass grew. Even the skies above the plains turned into a doomsday abyssal scene.

This sight alone left the dozens of black-clad swordsmen utterly petrified.

As the abyssal green bird descended from the heavens,

The leading swordsman shouted in panic—

“Quick! The Abyss Apostle is coming! If you don’t want to die, form up around me immediately!”

At his command, the other swordsmen snapped out of their abyss-induced terror.

They hurriedly formed ranks, each drawing their swords, their blades glowing with spiritual light. Following their sect’s training, they activated the Nine-Turn Sword Star Formation, preparing to face the incoming threat.

“Everyone, don’t be afraid!”

“Our formation is the Nine-Turn Sword Star Formation! With our dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, this formation can at least hold its own against a mid-Divine Transformation expert!”

The senior brother’s voice was firm, his sword-like gaze filled with resolve and confidence as he faced the incoming abyssal green bird.

As a sixth-rank celestial servant of the Dragon Dynasty, he had seen his fair share of battles. He knew that when facing evil sects, fear only led to defeat.

Morale was paramount when confronting such foes.

However, his junior brothers behind him were far less composed—

“But senior brother, what if this abyssal green bird’s cultivation is above Divine Transformation?”

This statement caused the recently stabilized group to waver once more.

And it wasn’t baseless speculation. Judging by the abyssal green bird’s overwhelming presence and its ability to alter the very weather with its demonic energy, its cultivation might very well surpass Divine Transformation.

As time passed, the abyssal green bird closed the distance, now less than a hundred meters away.

Worse still,

It continued its descent, like a meteor hurtling toward the swordsmen’s formation.

At such close range, the abyssal green bird showed no signs of slowing down!

“What… what is it doing?!”

“Is it insane? Even against our Nine-Turn Sword Star Formation, no Divine Transformation expert would recklessly charge in like this!”

“Wait, wait, it’s really coming!”

“We’re doomed! It must be an Apostle above Divine Transformation!!!”

Amid their panicked chatter, the abyssal green bird crashed into them.

The ground was protected by the Nine-Turn Sword Star Formation, but from above, the abyssal green bird descended like a meteor, colliding directly with the formation.

In an instant, the terrifying abyssal energy erupted.

BOOM—!!!

At the cliff’s edge, the white-robed girl covered her mouth with one hand, trembling at the sight of the massive black mushroom cloud. It was as if she were witnessing a nuclear explosion at point-blank range, her body and mind overwhelmed with fear.

The scale of the abyssal explosion continued to expand.

Duan Yuyan, trembling, knelt on the ground, abandoning all hope of escape.

How could anyone survive within a hundred miles of a nuclear blast?

Perhaps she was just unlucky…

Chased by the Heavenly Sword Sect, she could have saved herself by surrendering the Qinglong Sword. But now, out of nowhere, an abyssal green bird had launched a suicide attack.

Now, she had lost both the Qinglong Sword and her life…

How could she face her sister, who was waiting for her rescue? How could she repay Young Master He’s kindness?

But just as despair overwhelmed her, a small hand rested on her shoulder from behind—

“Hey, why are you crying?”

“I flew all this way to save you~”

Amid the abyssal explosion, Duan Yuyan turned against the scorching winds to see a petite green-red-haired girl, barely 1.5 meters tall, raising an eyebrow at her.

And at this moment, though they should have been consumed by the abyssal explosion, both stood unharmed amidst the chaos.

“Huh?”

“It’s just a little illusion. Look how scared you are~”

Xuanque smirked, her phoenix eyes narrowing with a hint of smugness.

If it had been another Abyss Apostle, they might have genuinely caused such a devastating explosion. But Xuanque, the weakest under Feng Yuan, couldn’t instantly annihilate dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators. However, she could replicate the abyssal explosion with her illusions.

Don’t believe it?

This was just a small illusion, yet the Heavenly Sword Sect’s true disciples were already on their knees, clutching their heads and screaming as if burned by magma.

They truly believed they had been hit by a suicide attack from an Abyss Apostle.

“You… you’re an Abyss Apostle…”

Duan Yuyan, still confused, looked fearfully at the petite girl. Despite her small stature, her presence was overwhelmingly terrifying.

“But why would you save me?”

“Lord Ange sent me to protect you~”

“Lord Ange? You mean Young Master He?”

“Who else?”

Xuanque shrugged, finding the girl before her a bit troublesome.

But she was far more approachable than other Abyss Apostles.

“Lord Ange was worried the Qinglong Sword you carry would attract trouble, so he sent me to ensure your safety.”

Xuanque explained sincerely.

Of course, this was mostly nonsense.

He Ange had handed over the Qinglong Sword to shift the Heavenly Sword Sect elders’ ire onto Duan Yuyan. But not being heartless, he had sent Xuanque to assist, fearing the elders might send people to hunt her down.

After all, if something happened to Duan Yuyan, the Qinglong Sword would be wasted.

“I see… Young Master He was right. The Evil Phoenix Sect…”

“What did he say?”

Hearing her sect mentioned, Xuanque crossed her arms, raising an eyebrow curiously.

“Young Master He said the followers of the Evil Phoenix Sect are all incredibly powerful, each possessing unique skills… And he also said… my sister’s incurable illness could be healed by the great Spirit Phoenix!”

The girl spoke with innocence and reverence.

Perhaps it was the life-and-death experience or being saved by Xuanque, but Duan Yuyan’s usual cold demeanor had softened considerably.

“Ah…”

The green-red-haired girl was momentarily stunned.

Hearing someone praise her faith, Xuanque couldn’t help but smile, her phoenix eyes glowing with excitement. She nodded vigorously, patting Duan Yuyan’s shoulder—

“Lord Ange is absolutely right! The Evil Phoenix Sect is amazing! Our Spirit Phoenix is not only adorable but also as merciful as a god!”

“All you need to do is bring your sister and join the Evil Phoenix Sect together. Become devout followers of our great Spirit Phoenix… With enough faith, our master will cure any illness!”

The conversation spiraled out of control.

On their journey back, Xuanque, like a devout follower, enthusiastically preached the virtues of the Evil Phoenix Sect, almost portraying Feng Yuan as the omniscient and omnipotent god of the cultivation world.

She was just short of saying, “Believe in Feng Yuan and gain eternal life.”

Xuanque was undoubtedly the most devout and loyal follower of the Evil Phoenix Sect.

And there was no competition.

…

Xuanque successfully rescued the future chosen one, Duan Yuyan.

Though her chatter became excessive, it didn’t trouble He Ange much—at most, it caused Feng Yuan in the abyss to sneeze a few times.

In summary,

Duan Yuyan’s crisis was resolved.

Meanwhile,

He Ange’s troubles were far from over.

The Heavenly Sword Sect elders were relatively easy to appease. He Ange’s statement, “I gave the Qinglong Sword to Duan Yuyan,” effectively redirected their ire.

With the Heavenly Sword Sect pacified,

The sect most hostile to He Ange was now the Feathering Sect.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had only lost a useless Saint Son, and the Qinglong Sword wasn’t truly lost…

But the Feathering Sect?

They had lost their chosen one!

Jue Wuqing, who had risen from Qi Refinement to peak Core Formation in less than a year, was their chosen one!

With such a prodigy dead in the secret realm, how could the Feathering Sect spare He Ange?

He Ange claimed he didn’t kill Jue Wuqing, but that was just his word. How could a prestigious sect like the Feathering Sect accept such an excuse?

Seeing the Heavenly Sword Sect elders step back, the Feathering Sect elders stepped forward.

For this secret realm trial, the Feathering Sect had sent a Divine Transformation elder to protect Jue Wuqing.

The elder stepped forward, his gaze piercing, as if scrutinizing a petty thief, glaring at the white-robed youth.

The crowd’s mockery pushed He Ange to his limit.

If they were heartless, he wouldn’t hold back. It was time to drop the bombshell…

“Jue Wuqing is dead. Feathering Sect elders, do you still wish to defend him?”

He Ange’s cold eyes narrowed, his tone carrying a warning.

But the leading elder remained unfazed:

“Brat! Hand over all your tokens as compensation, and we, the Feathering Sect elders, will let this matter rest. As for the cost of Jue Wuqing’s death, our sect master will discuss it with your Shengxu Sect leader!”

The elder’s tone was firm.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had the Qinglong Sword to care about, but the Feathering Sect had no room for compromise with their chosen one dead.

Either He Ange handed over his most valuable possessions, or no one would leave today until the Shengxu Sect leader came to negotiate!

The crowd watched, some with sympathy, others with pity for He Ange.

Among his peers, no one dared to stand against the sect elders.

He Ange was the first this year!

Last year, Jue Wuqing, newly awakened to his destiny, had defied the elders. He had rapidly risen, earning their respect, even from the Feathering Sect elders.

But this year, Jue Wuqing was dead.

And everyone knew he had died at He Ange’s hands!

So, who was the true prodigy now?

“Jue Wuqing may not have been killed by me, but I must say, his death was well-deserved!”

He Ange’s bold words openly mocked.

Hearing this, the Feathering Sect elders’ faces turned livid.

“You fucker!!”

The elders erupted in fury.

They were about to suppress He Ange with celestial techniques, but he spoke again—

“Why are you so angry, elders?”

“Could it be you don’t know that your so-called chosen one, Jue Wuqing, was actually an undercover agent for an evil sect?!”

He Ange’s confident declaration echoed, silencing the Feathering Sect elders.

The crowd, hearing this, widened their eyes in disbelief.

“Jue Wuqing, the Feathering Sect’s famed chosen one…”

“Was an evil cultivator?!”

This revelation was enough to shock all of Huaxia!

If true, not only would Jue Wuqing’s reputation be tarnished, but the entire Feathering Sect could face punishment from the Dragon Dynasty Empress for harboring an evil cultivator!

Such a claim could destroy the Feathering Sect’s reputation!

And He Ange had no hesitation in declaring it publicly?

Was he insane?

Wasn’t he afraid of being executed for slander by the Feathering Sect?!

The secret realm’s audience was in an uproar. They lived for such shocking revelations!

For centuries, the major sects controlled the narrative, suppressing smaller sects. No one dared expose their scandals.

Now, He Ange was a hero, a lone warrior standing against the giants!

“He Ange—!!!”

The Divine Transformation elder was furious.

Such baseless accusations were an affront to the Feathering Sect’s honor!

“You insolent brat! How dare you slander our thousand-year sect—”

“I said Jue Wuqing was an evil cultivator, and he is! The evidence is right here!!!”

The elder’s furious rebuke was cut short as the white-robed youth’s voice thundered, silencing the crowd.

At that moment,

The elder’s face turned red with rage, but he held back, waiting to hear He Ange’s claim.

The white-robed youth stepped forward, holding up an abyssal relic strung on a necklace.

The crowd focused on it, sensing a faint but unmistakable abyssal aura!

Even the Divine Transformation elder froze.

With his centuries of experience, he recognized the aura—it was from the abyss beneath the northern secret realm, the Evil Phoenix’s domain!

“Elders, this abyssal relic was found on Jue Wuqing’s corpse!”

“Jue Wuqing’s connection to the Evil Phoenix Sect…”

“I believe there’s no need for me to elaborate further, is there?”
