Chapter 471: Not Pretending Anymore?
Li Muyang had not expected that the charm of this Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect would be so immense.
Even his own silly little sister was enchanted by it.
And it wasn't just Li Yuechan, everyone in the entire conference hall had fallen under the Young Sect Master's spell.
Despite doing nothing, merely sitting there quietly, she had become the center of attention.
All the young talents present, regardless of gender, focused their eyes and attention on her.
Fortunately, these young talents attending the conference had high cultivation levels, so they managed to maintain their composure in the face of the Hehuan Sect Young Sect Master's allure, albeit with some restlessness and unease, battling to keep their minds calm.
However, the servants and friends who accompanied them were not so composed.
There were several people like Yu Chan who were so bewitched that they secretly drooled, which looked rather comical.
After glancing around for a while, Li Muyang whispered, "You go ahead and leave first, find Elder Yan."
Li Muyang surreptitiously passed a note to Yu Chan, which detailed his discovery of Shen Yan's arrival at the Hehuan Sect and her extraordinary relationship with the Young Sect Master.
Should the situation become urgent, they might have to flee tonight, and Li Muyang was not about to sit around and wait for doom.
Nevertheless, how to escape while on Hehuan Sect's territory, they still had to consult Yan Xiaoru.
After all, as an Elder of the Demon Sect, Yan Xiaoru was more familiar with Hehuan Sect's circumstances than Li Muyang.
As Li Muyang sent his sister away, the young girl immediately pouted unhappily.
"...Kicking me out so you can enjoy the view by yourself, huh? Stinky brother."
Just as the girl was about to get up, she suddenly sensed something, leaned in close to Li Muyang, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Eh? Brother, how can you be so calm?"
Li Yuechan, looking into Li Muyang's eyes, was surprised to see that her brother was clear-eyed and completely unaffected by the Hehuan Sect Young Sect Master.
At the entire conference site, her brother was definitely the calmest and most indifferent person present.
Li Yuechan asked in amazement, "A beauty like the Hehuan Sect Young Sect Master doesn't catch your eye? Brother, you're setting your standards way too high."
The girl muttered under her breath.
Li Muyang waved his hand speechlessly, urging her to hurry and find Yan Xiaoru.
There was a pressing crisis, and she was worried about whether he was enchanted or not... He possessed the Eye of Spiritual Sight, which allowed him to look directly at the Evil God, so how could mere natural charm enchant him?
What a joke.
The skill of the Eye of Spiritual Sight was immune to both charm and illusion techniques.
Sitting in the conference hall, Li Muyang watched the other participants debate and chatter, completely with the mindset of a spectator.
In front of the Hehuan Sect Young Sect Master, all the cultivators in attendance eagerly displayed their strengths and charm, like peacocks spreading their feathers, hoping to win the lady's favor.
Even Mo Bai, the Immortal who had been hostile toward Li Muyang, had no time to glare at him now but instead described her Talisman Dao Arts with a cold face, engaging in debates and conversations with others.
In such a lively atmosphere, Li Muyang, who sat among the crowd silently like an audience member, turned out to be the odd one out.
Li Muyang vaguely sensed that the Young Sect Master in the center of the hall was glancing at him with an imperceptible look.
At first, she was rather restrained.
But in the end, the woman seemed bold enough to look blatantly in his direction and gave him a slight smile.
When their eyes met, Li Muyang's body stiffened abruptly.
He wasn't charmed, but rather, he felt a chill on his back.
Maybe it was because his guard was up, but now the more he looked at this woman, the more he felt she bore ill intentions.
Otherwise, why would she leer at me like that when there are so many handsome men and beautiful women in a hurry to show off?
Definitely she had teamed up with Shen Yan to set some sort of trap for me!
Li Muyang couldn't help but look outside the hall, anxiously waiting for Yan Xiaoru's response.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long; his sister Li Yuechan, whom he had dispatched to deliver the message, swiftly returned.
The girl sat down next to Li Muyang without making a sound and whispered to him.
"Brother, Elder Yan says not to act rashly. Just finish attending the conference and don't startle the snake in the grass," she said.
Receiving this message from Yan Xiaoru, Li Muyang sighed.
"Alright..."
This response was pretty much what he had expected.
Currently, they were on the Hehuan Sect's ground and at the mercy of others.
In the absence of a clear understanding regarding how good the relationship between the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Lotus Cult was, it was not wise to act rashly.
If the Hehuan Sect really wanted to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, then Li Muyang and Yan Xiaoru's early departure would definitely drive the Hehuan Sect to desperation.
The Hehuan Sect was not some minor faction; their sect's power was not inferior to that of the Refinement Demon Sect.
Given the substantial disparity in strength between friends and foes, escape was only an option if it could be done with utmost secrecy.
Yan Xiaoru had to make thorough preparations.
In the meantime, Li Muyang, as the obvious target, had to stabilize the situation with the Hehuan Sect and Shen Yan, ensuring she wouldn't discover that he was aware of her presence here.
Watching the cultivators heatedly discussing and even beginning to fight again, Li Muyang sighed helplessly.
"When will the Youth Preserving Pill finally be distributed..."
For the sake of this Youth Preserving Pill, he had traveled from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere, a long journey that ended up in a den of thieves.
If he ended up with nothing in the end, it would be a major loss.
Yu Chan whispered, "I just heard from others that we have to wait until after the Dao Debate Conference ends before the Hehuan Sect will distribute the Youth Preserving Pill to everyone."
"Hey brother, aren't you going to say something, make a showing?"
"Everyone is eagerly speaking out, but you alone are playing dumb... You're making yourself quite a target."
Li Yuechan, already aware of the dangerous situation, had no time to admire the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect's stunning beauty anymore.
Instead, she began to remind her brother to be cautious with his disguise.
Li Muyang, seeing the lively atmosphere on-site, felt a headache coming on.
"They're all so passionate, almost ready to fight at the drop of a hat... I've got nothing to say."
Mainly because Li Muyang was different from this group of people.
All of these individuals had been taught by reputable masters from a young age and had a deep understanding of the Dao of cultivation and cultivation techniques; they were all experts in Dao debates.
But Li Muyang was a slack student who rose through ranks by cheating.
Even though the existence of the gaming system had maxed out his practical combat experience, even allowing him to slay beings at the level of Immortals,
theoretical knowledge was always Li Muyang's weak point. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
To ask him to speak on theoretical knowledge was exceedingly difficult.
Li Muyang shook his head, saying, "Let's wait until the real fight begins."
Theoretical knowledge and Dao debates were Li Muyang's weaknesses.
But when it came to actual combat, Li Muyang was confident he could beat everyone present.
His cultivation had reached the Spirit Travel Realm, already on par with some of the older generation of cultivators.
In terms of seniority based on cultivation levels, all these brilliant young talents were just youngsters in his eyes.
The strongest among them were merely at the Profound Mystery Realm, far below his own level.
Li Muyang, continuing to watch the spectacle unfold, speculated that if the current trajectory continued, a full-on brawl would break out by the latter half of the night.
After all, this group was getting more and more agitated, and wouldn't be able to stop without a fight.
Now, what Li Muyang was wary of was the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.
This woman kept looking at him, occasionally flashing him a smile.
Such blatant attention had already drawn frowns from many others present.
— Is this woman trying to use others to get rid of me by turning them against me?
Li Muyang furrowed his brow, on the alert.
But at that moment, someone suddenly arrived from outside.
Dressed in fine attire, adorned in a Blood Lotus robe, followed by six maids,
this flamboyant entrance at the Hehuan Sect's Dao Debate Conference absolutely stole the spotlight.
For a moment, all eyes were on this newcomer.
And Li Muyang, upon seeing this person, had an expression akin to seeing a ghost.
What the fuck... Shen Yan?
She's actually showing up?
Giving up the disguise?
Coming forward to confront?
