Chapter 275: Chapter 273: Jiang Qingge: "Why Do You Smell Like My Husband?" The Power Behind the Five Poison Sect Leader

"Miss Qingge’s husband and I are also friends, so... he said something to Youluo before he left, that’s why Youluo knows about it."

A moment later, Youluo quickly explained.

This reason seemed quite legitimate. My acquaintance with Ji Youluo was indeed due to Lu Ye.

They knew each other first, so it’s possible they have a good relationship.

Jiang Qingge nodded slightly, the suspicion dissipating quite a bit.

However, soon, sitting across from Youluo, Jiang Qingge’s nose twitched slightly...

Unsure if it was her imagination, Jiang Qingge seemed to catch a whiff of her husband Lu Ye’s scent?

This time, the suspicion in her heart not only didn’t completely go away but even intensified.

"Miss Youluo, how come I smell a hint of something like my husband’s scent on you?"

Jiang Qingge’s expression was certain as she looked at Youluo.

She’s been around Lu Ye a lot lately and is quite familiar with his scent!

Youluo was taken aback, her whole body almost numb.

Uh... huh?!

She carried the scent of the master’s husband on her?!

Could it be because of wearing that black robe...

After all, she only tried it on briefly to help the master with some troubles, just for ten seconds or so, it shouldn’t have picked up the master’s husband’s scent.

"Well... maybe before going out, Young Master Lu came to see Youluo." Youluo explained softly.

At the same time, she took out the cultivation resources she had prepared, changing the subject: "These things were specially prepared for you by Young Master Lu."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingge was indeed distracted, and upon seeing the several cultivation materials Youluo took out, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

Ever since that person stopped calling her mentally ill...

He seemed to be quite good to her!

Though on the surface, he still appeared indifferent, but he didn’t oppose her approaching him.

And now sending cultivation materials...

Is it because he can’t express it, so he lets Miss Youluo do it on his behalf?

Jiang Qingge’s eyes moved slightly, she already had an idea in her heart.

Next time Lu Ye returns... she has a plan!

...

Soon, two days passed by swiftly.

It was not only Wuxiang Mountain who came to celebrate the Red Cloud Sect leader’s apprentice acceptance ceremony.

There were several other forces present too.

And those forces who realized it late, rushed over overnight upon receiving the news, just before the ceremony was about to commence.

This scene made many people sigh...

It’s so competitive!

Even interacting with top-notch sects has become so competitive, being a step behind could mean missing out.

How does the saying go, if everybody goes and you don’t, people might not remember who was there, but who wasn’t is quite obvious.

It’s quite clear.

Sect Leader Peak.

Lu Ye was a bit surprised and said, "So... witnessing the ceremony expanded from just the sect’s own people to multiple Northern Territory forces?"

Red Cloud Fairy also looked a bit helpless, nodding: "This was something I did not anticipate. Last time, when I took Xiao Wan, it wasn’t this grand."

Suddenly, Red Cloud Fairy looked at Lu Ye with an odd gaze: "In fact, I think that these people coming to befriend the sect... was largely due to your own efforts."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, so it was still the butterfly effect from his infiltration of the Five Poison Sect and injuring the Five Poison Sect Leader a few days ago?

Red Cloud stood at the edge of the peak and slowly said: "You injured the Five Poison Sect Leader and exposed that he is already a Grandmaster!"

"Moreover, in recent times, several small sects in the Northern Territory vanished overnight, many forces fear this day could happen to them."

"So, some people started to align with the sect, hoping to avoid disaster. Though other forces might not fully understand the situation, they follow suit, seeking not merit, but no mistakes. Naturally, that can’t be wrong."

Lu Ye nodded, indeed it was a chain reaction, causing Northern Territory forces to flock to Red Cloud Sect to show their rapprochement.

"Tomorrow morning, after the bell rings three times, the ceremony will officially start. You will accompany me," Red Cloud Fairy said clearly while looking at Lu Ye.

...

Inside the Poisonous Beast Miasma Forest, at the Five Poison Sect Headquarters.

The Five Poison Sect Leader stood within a quiet chamber, straightened his black robe, and then twisted a concealed mechanism on the wall.

Soon, an entrance to a secret passage was revealed.

Inside, a sinister wave permeated that was more terrifying than the hint of aura from the Five Poison Sect Leader.

His eyes revealed a flicker of disturbance, a blend of fear and killing intent quickly vanished as the Five Poison Sect Leader stepped into the secret passage...

A moment later, the secret passage closed automatically, hiding that aura capable of inducing infinite evil thoughts.

The path inside was lined with lighting stones on the walls.

The Five Poison Sect Leader proceeded along to an underground chamber, pushed open the door, and entered.

Immediately, the oppressive sinister thoughts overwhelmed him, causing even someone with his strength to feel a momentary daze!

It seemed like a sea of blood and mountains of corpses appeared before him!

Returning to his senses quickly, the Five Poison Sect Leader’s caution intensified.

This old being, whatever his strength was in life, now, just a remnant soul occupying any body, possesses such terrifying means.

"Greetings, Elder Yin."

In the eyes of many outsiders, the high and mighty Five Poison Sect Leader respectfully saluted the figure on a nearby round platform.

The elder known as Elder Yin opened his eyes, his voice ancient: "I heard you successfully reached Grandmaster, why didn’t I know?"

Hearing this, the Five Poison Sect Leader’s heart dropped; the old coot indeed brought up this matter.

After a moment of contemplation, the Five Poison Sect Leader shook his head: "There is no such thing, if I really succeeded, I would have informed Elder Yin first thing."

"Oh? How so?" The elder Yin Wuqing’s gaze turned playful, looking at the Five Poison Sect Leader.

"The invader was also at the Grandmaster Late Stage, but with my Poison Technique at hand, the fully mastered technique reduced the opponent’s combat power significantly before the battle started,"

said the Five Poison Sect Leader. "So, with one strike, the opponent suffered a big loss, creating the misconception that I had ascended to Grandmaster."

After pausing, the Five Poison Sect Leader continued: "However, I’m indeed not far from Grandmaster, you could say I have one foot in it."

These words contained both truth and falsehood. Once the Five Poison Sect Leader finished speaking, Yin Wuqing sat on the round platform, deep in thought.

"Right, Elder Yin, that person possessed a Divine Technique! It seems to be a rare Finger Technique!"

It manifested a Yin Yang Pisces Diagram during its use, very mystical," the Five Poison Sect Leader said with a flash in his eyes, "If it weren’t for that, even with the element of surprise, he wouldn’t have been able to harm me."

Suddenly, the calm face of Yin Wuqing changed dramatically.

"What did you say?!"
