Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 188: Defection

The old man’s expression shifted, his eyes clouded and uncertain. After a brief hesitation, he made up his mind, "You just wait!"

After he finished speaking, his fingers moved slightly, and a Sound Transmission Talisman instantly formed. The old man whispered something into it before it vanished into thin air.

Moments later, a ripple spread through the air, and the old man looked up at Ding Cheng and the others, his gaze deep and complex.

His eyes rested on Xia Mian’s face for a long time, as if something came to mind, but he said nothing.

"You may enter! The young lady is waiting for you in the Divine Manor." The old man waved towards Ding Cheng and the others, not giving them another glance.

Ding Cheng didn’t mind the old man’s attitude. The Divine Clan people always prided themselves on being noble and only took notice of the former Wood Clan leader.

Unfortunately, times have changed, the Wood Clan has long since perished, and now the Divine Clan dominates the whole Mystical World.

Ding Cheng walked gracefully towards the Divine House, the stronghold of the Divine Clan.

The Divine Manor was the most prominent building in the village, grand and well-designed.

However, Xia Mian’s heart was preoccupied with Song Juan, and he had no interest in admiring these things.

There were still guards at the Divine Manor’s entrance, but this time, they did not stop Ding Cheng and the others.

Ding Cheng led Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan into the Divine Manor unimpeded, seeing guards at intervals patrolling.

Yet, everyone chose to ignore Ding Cheng and the others’ arrival.

With a calm demeanor, Ding Cheng, familiar with the place, led Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian through the corridors of the Divine Manor, taking them left and right, finally stopping in front of a quaint courtyard.

The yard was filled with green bamboo, which swayed in the breeze, presenting a natural scenery.

When they left the present world, it was night, but here it was evening.

The flow of time here differed from the outside world.

The time here passed much slower than outside.

Moreover, the spiritual energy was more abundant than outside; practicing here would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Ding Cheng had barely stood at the entrance of the courtyard for two minutes when there was a commotion from a finely decorated cabin within.

The next moment, the door creaked open from the inside.

A woman in a red dress pushed the door open and walked out, the evening light casting on her, outlining her graceful figure.

The woman in the red dress was alluring, with cascading hair reaching her waist and enchanting black eyes full of arrogance and dominance as she slowly approached Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan.

The woman’s gaze was aggressive, openly sizing up Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian.

After a long while, she suddenly curled her lips into a smile, "This young master of the Wood Clan is indeed quite good-looking!"

The woman’s eyes were loose as she lightly raised her hand, intending to place it on Lu Zechuan’s shoulder.

However, before her hand could touch Lu Zechuan’s shoulder, he had already sidestepped to evade her.

He belonged to someone, and he couldn’t let a wildflower taint him with any undesired scent.

As Lu Zechuan dodged, the woman’s eyes instantly turned cold, "Do you really see yourself as the Young Master of the Wood Clan? You’re nothing more than a stray dog who survived by luck! Why put on airs with me?"

Lu Zechuan narrowed his eyes, and the next moment, the bamboo stalks swayed in the wind, bending uniformly towards the woman, like spears ready to strike...

The woman squinted her eyes, mockingly curling her lips, "Oh! Are you angry? Do you want to fight me?"

Just as the woman finished speaking, a shuffle of footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard. The Divine Clan members who had been patrolling nearby suddenly appeared behind the three, pointing long sticks at Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan with hostility on their faces.

"Acting tough on my turf without considering your current status!" The woman lifted her chin slightly, her face full of arrogance.

Lu Zechuan narrowed his eyes, and the next moment, his fingers moved slightly. The bamboo stalks instantly left the ground, like arrows ready to strike at the woman.

The sound of breaking wind reached them, and the woman’s face darkened. With a wave of her sleeve, the powerful spiritual energy swept the bamboo stalks to the ground.

The woman’s expression turned extremely grim at that moment, "Wood Clan boy, you’ve successfully angered me."

Lu Zechuan lightly curled his lips, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Wasn’t it you who first provoked me?"

He didn’t know this woman, but she had repeatedly sent people to trouble him!

Now that he knew who was behind the scenes, he certainly wouldn’t let the other party have it easy!

The woman sneered coldly, casting a playful look at Lu Zechuan, and the next moment, she waved her hand lightly, "Kill them for me!"

Following the woman’s words, the Divine Clan members behind Ding Cheng and the others immediately charged.

Ding Cheng’s face slightly changed, "Lady, I brought them here for you, and you haven’t given me my reward!"

The woman sneered, "What are you to negotiate with me?"

The woman’s expression was chilly. For various reasons, she couldn’t leave the Divine Clan, but upon learning that Xia Mian and Song Juan existed in the present world, she felt a thorn in her side, unable to sleep peacefully!

She had sent so many people over, yet they couldn’t kill these two. She was getting impatient, and now, they came to her!

Indeed, there’s a path to heaven he didn’t take, but no gate to hell he barged into!

The woman’s words changed Ding Cheng’s expression.

Ding Cheng knew the young lady of the Divine Clan to be arrogant, but she had been trustworthy in their previous collaborations. So why the sudden change of heart today?

"If the young lady cannot keep her promise and acts contrary to her words, then don’t blame me. I’ll take them away!" Ding Cheng’s face turned colder.

Having experienced life’s harsh realities from a young age and growing up in this chaotic world, Ding Cheng was no pushover.

"Take them away? You can try!" The woman raised her eyebrows, her face showing unabashed pride.

This was the Divine Clan’s territory, their headquarters. Could they leave just because they wanted to?

Ding Cheng’s expression grew more somber; this young lady of the Divine Clan was completely disregarding any form of morality!

As soon as the thought crossed Ding Cheng’s mind, the Divine Clan members swarmed in.

Their long sticks were their usual weapons, and with the addition of Taoist Techniques, they could transform into various shapes, giving them the upper hand in battle.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were initially unaware and nearly suffered a loss.

However, once they understood these people’s tactics, they had a better grasp of the situation.

This was indeed the Divine Clan’s headquarters, but the guards here weren’t particularly strong.
