Worldwide Auto Transformation: Invincibility Starts With Ultimate Enhancement-Chapter 300 - 167: The Fear of Public Opinion, Yin Yang Master Clan Treasure
Chapter 300: Chapter 167: The Fear of Public Opinion, Yin Yang Master Clan Treasure
"Is it you?"
As the black smoke dissipated, Maris, who had been successfully whisked away by the mysterious figure, looked at the figure before her with a look of astonishment, completely taken aback.
Having just lingered at the brink of the ghost gate, Maris never imagined that her rescuer would be this person!
This was an astonishingly beautiful woman.
Her features were delicate, and her skin was pale, like that of a porcelain doll.
Her naturally cold demeanor was transformed into one of extreme charm.
She seemed like a ravishing beauty capable of causing the downfall of nations.
Among the already exceptionally beautiful members of the Mage Clan’s Knight Order, standing beside her, they all instantly paled in comparison, becoming utterly ordinary.
This woman was none other than Nangong Lingzi from the Yin Yang Master Clan.
Nangong Lingzi’s eyes were profound, yet her face bore a gentle smile, exuding a calm, composed, and mysteriously inscrutable air: ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Doesn’t everyone have secrets?"
Maris’s eyes suddenly gleamed with covetousness.
Nangong Lingzi, young and of weak strength—having practiced the Yin-Yang Technique since her childhood, yet her Firepower might only be around thirty or forty thousand.
She was less significant than an ant in her presence.
Yet, she was able to save her under the fierce attack of Li Junqing.
She accomplished what some of the elders couldn’t!
Evidently, this woman possessed a treasure!
And an immensely powerful one at that.
It was a Treasure!
Not only did Maris harbor greed, but also the retreating members of the Knight Order hiding here, along with their leader Fang Qingyu, quietly surrounded Nangong Lingzi.
They planned to seize the treasure.
"Truly, someone who can so easily betray their own clan for personal gain," Nangong Lingzi squinted slightly upon noticing everyone’s movements, yet showed no surprise:
"However, you clearly have more important matters at hand right now."
Saying so, she looked towards Ma Yue Mei, who was fighting with Li Junqing.
At the moment, Ma Yue Mei was evidently at a disadvantage. Li Junqing, the Great Sage, truly was the strongest of the Mage Clan; Ma Yue Mei’s defeat was only a matter of time.
The other elders stood by, filled with shock and uncertainty.
Li Junqing, having been the Great Sage for so long, still held his influence.
"This battle, if you lose, then you are utterly finished," Nangong Lingzi said with a smiling expression.
Maris looked at the situation on the field, her expression changing slightly, but she didn’t panic. Instead, she waved her magic wand, and immediately, the world turned into a snowy field as thousands of Ice Wolves pounced to attack.
"Don’t worry, I don’t need much time to kill you; there’s enough time."
"Really?" Nangong Lingzi’s smile remained unchanged, her eyes full of mockery.
In the next instant, a special stone appeared in her hand, glowing and emitting dense smoke that enveloped her instantly.
As Maris’s attack landed, there was already no one left on the field.
She had escaped!
"Damn it! Find her! She can’t get away!"
Maris’s face turned sour, and her mounting frustrations ignited her anger like a volcano on the brink of eruption.
"Your Excellency, Elder Ma Yue Mei is likely to be defeated!" Fang Qingyu inhaled deeply, anxiously speaking.
"I know!" Maris nearly roared out, and rebuked: "Find her! I don’t want to hear it again!"
Saying so, her figure flickered, using magic to grow a pair of wings behind her, rejoining the battlefield.
However, this time, she wasn’t aiding Elder Ma Yue Mei against Li Junqing.
Instead, she turned towards the other elders, filled with indignant fury:
"Honored seniors, what are you waiting for?
"Take action and capture her!
"The Mage Clan under her control is already on the path to destruction over these years! The insurrection of those gray-robed mages is the strongest proof!"
The elders of various clans on the field were emotionally moved.
The revolt of the grey-robed mages indeed proved that Li Junqing’s control over the Mage Clan has waned.
An elder who supported Li Junqing slowly spoke up: "The uprising of the grey-robed mages is a systemic issue, not fault of Junqing’s!"
However, these words did not win the agreement of the other elders.
Previously, male mages, too, were very dissatisfied with the status quo, unwilling to be subordinated to female mages.
But no one dared to revolt!
Seeing this, Maris felt proud and continued to speak: "Our clan was once glorious, now we are on the verge of becoming vassals to another clan!"
"It’s an issue of the times, and has nothing to do with Junqing."
Maris sneered, "Really? The disastrous trial by the Demon Dragon Mechanical Abyss which caused the ruin of our clan’s foundation, does that also have nothing to do with Li Junqing?"
An elder supporting Li Junqing argued strongly, "Victory and defeat are common in warfare! Junqing has already done everything possible to mitigate the damage!"
"What you call doing everything possible, is that in bed?"
Maris’s voice suddenly rose:
"The Human Clan was clearly having the upper hand, capable of capturing our three cities in one fell swoop! Yet why did they suddenly give up the advantage and no longer attack our checkpoints? Because she, Li Junqing, is a capable fighter?
"Because she, Li Junqing, has no shame!
"As a Great Sage of our clan, she has already lost her virtue!"
"How dare you!" This time, not just the elders supporting Li Junqing, but other elders as well couldn’t stand by and shouted angrily.
They all knew about these matters.
However, the teachings of the Mage Clan did not state that a Great Sage must maintain purity and flawless integrity.
Sacrificing Li Junqing in exchange for the Mage Clan’s three cities and saving tens of millions of our people is undoubtedly worthwhile.
Duchess Maris was not surprised and said: "If it’s merely the sacrifice of her alone, even if she becomes Xu Gu’s slave, it would be meritorious!
"Yet she has clearly betrayed our clan!
"Allowing Xu Gu, a great enemy of our clan, to win people’s hearts in the city, indulging Xu Gu in executing those who should be his competitors from the Yin Yang Master Clan Young Master! This is lawlessness!
"Clearly, she wants to hand the Mage Clan over to her lover!"
Speaking, she then projected an image in the air, showing Xu Gu in Holy Light City winning over the support and blind adoration of many from the Mage Clan.
"This..."
Instantly, all the elders were startled, looking extremely solemn and many of their faces even turned dark in an instant.
Because, Xu Gu’s actions had clearly shaken the foundation of the Mage Clan.
A member of the Human Clan, yet having such popularity within the grassroots of the Mage Clan!
What is this leading to?
Moreover, Li Junqing and Xu Gu are very likely intimately involved.
Suddenly, the elders started having unpleasant speculations.
Afraid that Li Junqing, impassioned by lust, was beguiled by Xu Gu’s pretty face, to simply hand over the Mage Clan to the Human Clan!
They didn’t doubt Xu Gu’s charm at all.
Even a glance from him could befuddle them.
Not to mention Li Junqing, who was clearly in a relationship with Xu Gu!
"Junqing, you’ve indeed been very tired lately, you should rest!"
Always silent, the oldest and leader among the elders, Elder Fang Yibing, spoke with an icy and stern expression.
These words were effectively an order!
Commanding Li Junqing to hand over her power!
No longer suitable to be the Great Sage of the Mage Clan!
Li Junqing’s expression remained unchanged, her magic wand glowing in her hand, with numerous halos emerging behind her.
One magic spell after another was cast.
All of them, Taboo Magic.
An incredibly terrifying aura spread instantly, making it seem as if heaven and earth were about to shatter.
Li Junqing: "It’s you who need to rest!"
