The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!

Since she said the allies would handle it, they could only believe her.

No one spoke again.

Everyone silently waited for the battle that could begin at any moment.

Just then, the elder responsible for intelligence quietly approached Song Meilin.

Keeping his voice low, he reported, "Elder Song. I’ve just received Great Elder’s signal."

"He wants us to prepare."

Song Meilin’s brows knitted together.

"So soon... This is earlier than we expected."

After a brief pause, she asked, "How many disciples are still inside the sect?"

The elder’s expression became heavy.

"About half the number we have here."

Song Meilin silently clenched her fists. A shadow loomed over her face.

Standing beside her, Shen Xing softly spoke, "Sister Qingxi told me... that they’ll save as many people as they can during the battle."

Song Meilin slowly loosened her clenched fists.

After remaining silent for a long moment, she softly said,

"...I can only place my hope in them."

As Wu Taeyong continued his carpet search throughout the entire White Moon Sect, the last bit of patience he had left was gradually wearing thin. For a brief moment, he even considered releasing his Pishacha army to sweep through the sect and drag those escaped rats out of hiding.

He wasn’t worried about them escaping.

At this very moment, countless Pishachas from every corner of the Frostspine Mountains were already making their way toward the White Moon Sect. As long as any one of them discovered Su Mo and the others, he would immediately know their location.

’Where could they possibly be?’

Wu Taeyong frowned in annoyance. Looking back now, allowing the sect to establish so many formations and barriers had truly been an unnecessary decision. Had those formations not existed, his spiritual sense would have covered every corner of the sect without obstruction, leaving those rats with nowhere to hide.

Still carrying that irritation, Wu Taeyong stepped into the sect prison.

At almost the same time, another confrontation had already begun elsewhere within the White Moon Sect.

Wu Haruto stood facing Shen Kai.

Behind him stood his trusted guards and supporters. Opposite them were Shen Kai and the elders who had chosen to stand at the Great Elder’s side. The atmosphere between the two factions had become so heavy that even the falling snow seemed unusually silent.

Looking at the familiar faces standing against him, Wu Haruto couldn’t hide the disappointment and anger in his eyes.

He slowly took a deep breath before speaking.

"Shen Kai... why must you go to such great lengths?"

"I’ve already told you that everything involving your relatives was simply a misunderstanding. We can all sit down and talk this through. There is no need to let things reach this point."

Shen Kai let out a cold sneer.

"Haruto."

"Are you pretending to be ignorant, or are you truly an idiot?"

Wu Haruto’s expression instantly darkened.

"What did you just say?" His voice rose with suppressed anger.

"Mind your words. You are making such a huge issue out of such a small matter."

"A small matter?" Shen Kai looked at him with unconcealed disappointment.

"That old monster is playing you, and you still call this a small matter?"

Wu Haruto’s pupils suddenly contracted.

"How do you..."

Before finishing his sentence, he immediately realised what had happened.

Shen Kai... Had somehow discovered the existence of Ancestor Taeyong.

His expression gradually became solemn.

"Shen Kai. Some things are better left unsaid."

"Take everyone back and end this matter here. I won’t pursue your rebellious actions."

Instead of answering, Shen Kai looked at him as though he were looking at a complete fool.

"Left unsaid? Do you mean all the sacrifices made by our comrades and predecessors should remain meaningless forever?"

Wu Haruto frowned.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What does that have to do with this?"

Shen Kai narrowed his eyes.

For the first time, he began to suspect that Wu Haruto genuinely knew nothing.

"...Don’t tell me."

"You really don’t know the truth about your ancestor."

"The truth?" Wu Haruto’s face immediately filled with anger.

"I know exactly how much he has sacrificed for this sect while remaining in the shadows."

"You should show some respect towards him, Shen Kai."

"If not for that lord suppressing those powerful Pishachas all these years, the White Moon Sect would never have survived until today."

He gritted his teeth before continuing,

"Even your relatives, we asked their help here because that lord needed their assistance in suppressing the Pishachas."

Shen Kai’s eyes widened for a brief moment before he shook his head.

"Idiot... You’ve been fooled."

Wu Haruto finally lost his patience.

"Why do you keep calling me an idiot?"

"What do you mean I’ve been fooled? Explain yourself!"

Although his anger was already on the verge of erupting, he still restrained himself. He understood that once either side made the first move, there would be no turning back.

Shen Kai looked straight into his eyes.

"Because that old monster is—"

Before he could finish speaking, every cultivator present felt their expressions change.

A terrifying aura suddenly spread across the sect.

The next instant—

BOOM!!

A deafening explosion shook the ground beneath their feet.

Before anyone could react—

BOOM!!

Another explosion echoed through the sect.

Then another.

BOOM!!

BOOM!!

The continuous explosions shattered the tense silence.

Wu Haruto’s pupils contracted.

"That direction..."

"It’s the sect prison!"

"What is going on?"

Shen Kai slowly looked toward the source of the explosions. His expression became grave.

"...It has finally started."

Wu Haruto immediately turned toward him with bloodshot eyes.

"Was this your doing, Shen Kai?!" He grabbed Shen Kai by the collar.

"Do you really intend to destroy this sect, you bastard?!"

Despite being grabbed, Shen Kai remained calm. Looking directly into Wu Haruto’s furious eyes, he slowly said, "Your old ancestor...is the very source of the Pishachas."

Wu Haruto froze for a heartbeat.

The next moment, his anger burned even fiercer than before.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"You traitor!"
