The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Tang Rao didn't swagger in; instead, he first pinpointed Tao Muyun's position, then directly tore through space to get there.

Now that he had reached Great Perfection, those spatial sealing arrays outside posed no obstacle to Tang Rao at all.

To be precise, in the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains, except for the outlier bug Li Shengxuan, Tang Rao was already the strongest. He was confident that he could take down Tao Muyun, Xiao Xiangruo, and the Ten-winged Demon Dragon all together.

After all, aside from achieving Great Perfection, his soul realm had reached the Ninth Layer of the Immortal Plane.

"Whoa there, who is it? You scared the hell out of me." Tang Rao's sudden appearance genuinely startled Tao Muyun, who was currently reading a book and sipping tea, looking utterly at ease.

"Hello, Master Tao." Tang Rao greeted.

Tao Muyun looked at Tang Rao somewhat surprised, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Who are you?" asked Tao Muyun. Obviously, he didn't recognize Tang Rao.

Tang Rao: "..."

You have to understand, this is my real face, and yet Tao Muyun doesn't recognize me.

Damn it, to be honest, there really aren't many in the Nine Realms and the Seventy-two Domains who wouldn't recognize my face by now.

"Tang Rao."

"Tang Rao... Tang Rao? Oh, you're Tang Rao!" Tao Muyun suddenly slapped the table, finally recalling information about Tang Rao from his memory.

Tang Rao: "..."

"I've heard you're quite formidable. Oh right, what's the matter you wanted to discuss? My name is Tao Muyun, uh, you seem to already know who I am. Ah, it seems like there's some friction between you and the Soul Capture Pavilion, but this... I'm not saying it's a misunderstanding, but I certainly didn't instigate it. I convince people through virtue and reasoning, I definitely wouldn't be involved in those deeds. If you're here for revenge, then, well, you should look for Cui Baiyi; he's the one messing things up in the Soul Capture Pavilion, making a terrible mess of it." Tao Muyun babbled on.

Even Li Shengxuan was almost unable to bear listening anymore, if not for Tang Rao holding her back, she would probably have smacked Tao Muyun by now.

We haven't even spoken yet, and here you are jabbering on non-stop.

"Mr. Tang Rao, I see you're a civilized person, we should stay civil. How about this, I'll call Cui Baiyi over so you can confront each other directly, that should be better. Oh yes, I will absolutely not get involved, no matter who is right or wrong, or who is stronger or weaker, I'll just stand by and watch, okay?" Tao Muyun went on.

"Sure, then call him over." Tang Rao replied. Tao Muyun's proposal wasn't bad at all.

"Alrighty, just give me a moment." Tao Muyun said to Tang Rao and then started contacting Cui Baiyi.

It took less than two minutes for Cui Baiyi to arrive.

"Pavilion Master, you wanted to see me for..." Cui Baiyi walked into the courtyard, stopping mid-sentence as he frowned at the sight of Tang Rao and Li Shengxuan inside.

"Hello, Judge Cui." Tang Rao waved at Cui Baiyi.

"Pavilion Master, this man is Tang Rao, who has repeatedly opposed our Soul Capture Pavilion! He has killed our high-level members and obstructed our future, a gravely sinful man." Cui Baiyi immediately reported.

"I don't care, you two sort it out," Tao Muyun waved his hands, looking as if he had nothing to do with the matter.

Of course, what Tao Muyun was thinking was: I'm not stupid, for Tang Rao to arrive here silently, without achieving the Great Perfection Realm, it's impossible. Either he has entered Great Perfection or the woman with him has. Regardless of which, I don't want to meddle; if they are powerful, wouldn't I just be making a fool of myself and get slapped instead...

Cui Baiyi looked somewhat helpless. What are you doing, Tao Muyun? You're at least the Pavilion Master of the Soul Capture Pavilion, can't you manage something?

"Judge Cui, I've come this time mainly for two things," said Tang Rao.

"Two things? Tang Rao, you've repeatedly harmed our Soul Capture Pavilion, today, I will ensure you won't leave alive."

"Let me finish talking."

"Ha ha ha, Tang Rao, if there's no door to hell, you insist on courting death, you can't blame me for what happens."

"Can you shut up first?"

"By this time next year, it will be the anniversary of your death!"

"..."

"Xiao Xuan!"

"Slap!" As soon as Tang Rao finished speaking, Li Shengxuan appeared in front of Cui Baiyi and delivered two resounding slaps to his face.

"Annoying as hell, babbling nonsense. When I tell you to listen, you listen. Say one more word, and I'll beat you to a cripple!" Li Shengxuan glared viciously at Cui Baiyi.

Cui Baiyi was slapped silly. What on Earth… What's with this woman?

He's already reached the Great Perfection Realm. Why couldn't he even see how she managed to approach? Impossible!

Even Tao Muyun, even the Ten-winged Demon Dragon, they couldn't possibly have this kind of strength.

Could it be the way of immortals!

It wasn't only Cui Baiyi who was stunned, Tao Muyun was too.

Tao Muyun reached out a hand and gently patted his chest.

Thank goodness he hadn't acted rashly just now. Look at her strength, it's simply too brutal, too abnormal...

"The first thing, when Bai Ze and Mei Fanghua plotted against me, was it your doing?" Tang Rao looked at Cui Baiyi.

"No! It wasn't me!" Cui Baiyi came to his senses and immediately shook his head.

Tang Rao was clearly here for revenge. Admitting it would be asking for death.

"I don't like liars. Shall I call Bai Ze to confront you?" Tang Rao's gaze was icy; the old thief was actually denying it. Bai Ze already told me that it was you who ordered it.

"I... I... was also ordered by someone else, just like Bai Ze. I only did it because I was instructed," Cui Baiyi swallowed hard, "There was this person called Qi Yun Taoist. It was he who made me do it."

Qi Yun Taoist?

A buzz went through Tang Rao's brain—Qi Yun Taoist, he actually remembered from Zhou Shengdian's memories.

The Land of Immortals' Qi Yun Taoist!

Could it be a split incarnation of Qi Yun Taoist?

"He told you to kill me?" Tang Rao asked.

"He… he said to deal with you. But his real goal… his real goal has always been Chen Ajiu," Cui Baiyi said.

"Why did he want to find Chen Ajiu?" Tang Rao continued to ask.

"I don't know, Tang Rao, I really don't know. Afterwards, Qi Yun Taoist took Chen Ajiu away. I don't know where to, and he never showed up again."

"So, Ajiu isn't dead?"

"No, I've seen her once..."

Tang Rao fell silent, Qi Yun Taoist...

Why would someone from the Land of Immortals want Chen Ajiu? It doesn't make sense. Is there some secret about Ajiu?

Or could it be that Ajiu is Chen Tuan's descendant, and because Qi Yun Taoist had a score to settle with Chen Tuan, he wanted to capture Ajiu.

Without evidence, Tang Rao could only speculate.

"Moreover, as far as I know, at that time, Qi Yun Taoist had already stepped into the Great Perfection and could even break through towards immortality," Cui Baiyi added.

Tang Rao nodded.

In that case, Qi Yun Taoist probably took Ajiu to the Land of Immortals.

One can take people to the Land of Immortals!
