Chapter 277: The Primordial Witch Also Wants to Use Public Transportation for Private Purposes?! |
The Primordial Witch… was Wei Mengrou?
Hearing her words, Mu Zhi’an’s mind went blank.
He stared at the woman in the black robe, a sense of absurdity washing over him.
If you’re Wei Mengrou, then what is my maid…?
“You’re Wei Mengrou…?”
Mu Zhi’an stared at the Primordial Witch, her figure gradually fading, as if about to disappear. “If what you’re saying is true, and Wei Mengrou is the Primordial Witch, then you’re just a fragment of her will?!”
But if that was the case, why didn’t Mengrou have any memories of her past life?
Could it be that… like Lingxuan, the Primordial Witch was a ‘puppet’ created by Wei Mengrou?
However, the Primordial Witch didn’t answer. Or rather, her figure was becoming too faint for her words to be heard clearly.
The woman in the black robe, her alluring figure outlined by the fabric as it fluttered in the wind, slowly rose into the air.
She turned to look at him, a beautiful smile curving her lips. Her lips moved, as if she were saying something.
Although he couldn’t hear her voice, Mu Zhi’an could read her lips.
—I’ve always loved you.
The Primordial Witch’s will transformed into a wisp of dark Spiritual Energy, drifting away with the wind.
However, even Mu Zhi’an didn’t notice that this dark energy didn’t dissipate. It flew towards a certain direction in another zone…
…
Mu Zhi’an looked at the spot where the Primordial Witch had disappeared, a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
If what she said was true, then his maid was also one of the ‘protagonists’, and she had been connected to him from the very beginning.
Wei Mengrou had been by his side because of a promise she made to his parents. If so, did his parents know something?
This was a disturbing thought.
“Although I like Mengrou, her face, her personality, and her long legs… I feel like the Primordial Witch is playing a long game here…”
And it might even involve his parents.
As Mu Zhi’an sat by the sea, watching the sunset, lost in thought, two figures were chasing him and the Primordial Witch, but they had lost their trail.
Wei Mengrou looked up at the sky, the black mist that had filled the air now gone, the two figures nowhere to be seen. She fell into a deep silence.
“It seems the senior noticed us and deliberately shook us off,” Tang Sufei said, breaking the silence, a hint of frustration in her voice.
“Was that woman the Primordial Witch?” Wei Mengrou asked softly, her brows furrowing slightly. “But why would the Primordial Witch seek him out?”
“Didn’t you hear, Miss Wei?” Tang Sufei looked at her with a knowing smile.
“And Young Master Mu even said something like a confession to that senior…”
She couldn’t help but feel a sense of amusement.
For some reason, she had been able to hear the conversation between Mu Zhi’an and the Primordial Witch. Naturally, Wei Mengrou must have heard it too.
Wei Mengrou scoffed. “He probably used some trick to deceive the Primordial Witch.”
Tang Sufei shook her head, disagreeing. “If it was that senior’s decision, then Young Master Mu must have something that attracted her.”
“That guy has nothing but good looks,” the maid said coldly.
No matter how cunning the Primordial Witch was, when it came to matters of the heart, she was probably just a naive girl. And for someone inexperienced in love, it wouldn’t be difficult for Mu Zhi’an to win her over.
However, a Dao Integration expert should be able to use ‘mind-reading’ techniques… Could it be that… the Primordial Witch hadn’t used it on Mu Zhi’an?
Otherwise, how could she still be interested in him after seeing through his thoughts?
Was it simply because of his good looks?
Tang Sufei could only smile wryly.
She couldn’t understand the relationship between these two.
They were master and servant, yet the maid showed no respect for her master, often speaking to him sarcastically.
Tang Sufei sighed softly.
It seemed the Primordial Witch had no intention of reclaiming the World Sea.
She had clearly noticed them earlier, and as the World Sea’s Holy Maiden, Tang Sufei was someone she wouldn’t miss.
But she hadn’t bothered to greet them and had simply left with Mu Zhi’an… This spoke volumes.
As she thought about this, Tang Sufei suddenly sensed something and instinctively looked up at the sky.
A faint, almost imperceptible wisp of dark Spiritual Energy was flying towards them. It seemed deep and mysterious, containing a special energy.
Tang Sufei froze, then realization dawned upon her.
This energy… It’s identical to the Primordial Witch’s!
But where was it going?
Wei Mengrou also noticed it. She looked up, her eyes filled with curiosity as she saw the dark Spiritual Energy.
“It seems to be flying towards us,” Tang Sufei said, her gaze fixed on the sky.
Her eyes held a hint of anticipation.
This dark energy carried the Primordial Witch’s aura. Perhaps it was some kind of inheritance she had left behind?
If so, it was likely searching for a suitable successor…
Wei Mengrou’s eyes narrowed. She saw the dark energy streaking across the sky, heading towards them.
For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity towards it and instinctively reached out her hand.
Then, to Tang Sufei’s astonishment, the dark energy descended from the sky and silently entered Wei Mengrou’s body.
Tang Sufei froze, staring at her in disbelief.
Someone who wasn’t from the World Sea… had received the Primordial Witch’s Spiritual Energy…?
Not only the World Sea’s Holy Maiden, but even Wei Mengrou was confused. She looked down at her hand, feeling a strange sensation within her body.
She closed her eyes and focused.
She had been stuck at the bottleneck of the eighth-grade Core Formation Realm, but with the influx of this seemingly witch-like energy, she felt the bottleneck loosening.
Boom!
As they were still in shock, a deafening roar echoed through the sky.
Dark, leaden clouds gathered above them, their movements slow and heavy.
Even the cultivators in other zones couldn’t help but be drawn to this terrifying Heavenly Tribulation.
Many were filled with fear and uncertainty.
They were all scions of the Primordial Clans and had witnessed their elders undergoing the tribulation for the Nascent Soul Realm.
But even those tribulations hadn’t been this intense!
Boom!
Another deafening roar. A terrifying black mist erupted from Wei Mengrou’s body, and the tribulation clouds in the sky trembled violently. A white lightning bolt flashed within, as if something was brewing.
After a moment of hesitation, some cultivators flew towards Wei Mengrou on their swords.
Such a commotion naturally aroused their curiosity.
Mu Zhi’an also looked up, his heart sinking as he saw the gathering tribulation clouds.
If the Primordial Witch had been telling the truth, then Wei Mengrou was indeed the Primordial Witch.
The Primordial Witch’s will had just disappeared, and now this… It must be related to Wei Mengrou.
“I need to go and see…” Mu Zhi’an thought, his mind made up. He summoned his flying sword and flew towards the tribulation clouds.
The other participants in the Martial Realm trial also headed towards Wei Mengrou’s location.
With everyone gathered in one place, perhaps they could take advantage of the chaos to steal points and pass the trial…
Meanwhile, powerful cultivators throughout the Nine Realms sensed something and opened their eyes, their gazes fixed on the Eastern Realm’s Martial Realm with a mixture of shock and uncertainty.
To those young cultivators, it might seem like an ordinary Heavenly Tribulation.
But only these experts knew that this wasn’t a normal tribulation for advancing in cultivation.
A mere Core Formation cultivator couldn’t trigger a reaction from the Great Dao.
And now, the Heavenly Dao had been stirred.
Because the first person to break the shackles of heaven and earth, a being outside the rules, had appeared.
…
Within a certain zone, the old man inside Ye Yu suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
“Hmm?”
“What’s wrong, Master?” Ye Yu asked mentally.
However, the old man didn’t answer, seemingly focused on something.
Then, he abruptly opened his cloudy eyes, his voice filled with an unprecedented excitement. “Go to the tribulation… We must obtain that thing!”
His tone was urgent, as if he wanted to take over Ye Yu’s body and seize this heavenly opportunity.
Although Ye Yu was confused, he didn’t hesitate. He immediately flew towards the maid’s location.
The attention of all the talented disciples participating in the trial was now focused on the gathering tribulation clouds.
And at the center of it all were Wei Mengrou and Tang Sufei, the Holy Maiden from the World Sea.
