This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 720 - 605: Exposed?

"Shao Du, are you representing the Ghost Travel Sect to provoke Lord Zuo with this move?"
A feeble voice suddenly resonated in the hall, as a grey silhouette abruptly appeared between Liang Yi and the others and the members of the Ghost Travel Sect.
Seeing the hazy figure emerge, those in the hall who had been eager to watch the excitement instantly changed their expressions and rapidly vanished from the hall, leaving their meals uneaten.
This infuriated the server to no end; damn it, these bastards hadn't paid yet!
When the grey shadow appeared, the ghosts that filled the hall simultaneously halted their movements, as if some invisible force had firmly rooted them in place.
At that moment, the Seventh Realm Cultivators of the Ghost Travel Sect also dared not move, respectfully lowering their heads to look at the newcomer.
"Shao Du dares not..."
Hearing the grey figure's query, Shao Du's face turned ugly, and through gritted teeth, he denied it while bowing his head.
After calming down, he realized that anger had clouded his judgment. He glanced at the Qingkong Sect girl who was smiling at him, and Shao Du's teeth were almost crushed in frustration.
"Little twerp, you've played me!"
"Ren Wu, Lord Ren, your timing is impeccable."
Yet, before the grey figure could speak, Wan Tinggui took the initiative and directly questioned:
"It seems your domain has quite the grievance with our Moro Domain, being troubled even while having a meal. I've always believed Lord Zuo had a good relationship with our Lord Qiu Feng."
Wan Tinggui assumed a pained look, as if her full heart of expectations had been let down.
"Lord Zuo Yongning and Lord Qiu Feng indeed have a deep relationship; this was merely a misunderstanding."
The surrounding grey fog around the grey figure dissipated, revealing his true appearance.
A sickly-looking young Cultivator stood smiling between the two groups, observing Liang Yi and the others with a gentle expression, and incidentally explained to Wan Tinggui.
Liang Yi noticed that this sickly young Cultivator also had a ghastly pale face, with strangely grey-white long hair, and an aura as gloomy as the Seventh Realm Cultivators of the Ghost Travel Sect!
Thinking of the path that Zuo Yongning practiced, Liang Yi guessed that the Moro Domain must primarily cultivate Ghost Cultivators, right?
Under Ren Wu's intervention, the farce did not escalate. A Cultivator who had reached Great Perfection of the Eighth Realm and was backed by the Ghost Cultivator Lord Zuo Yongning had no capacity to be provoked by ordinary people.
Normally, other cities in the Abyss forbade killing and strife, but Lord Zuo Yongning, the ruler of the Moro Domain who preferred quiet over chaos, consequently prohibited all Cultivators from fighting within Redfeather City. The existence of Ren Wu was for the purpose of maintaining this order.
Above Ren Wu was a Ninth Realm mid-stage Cultivator, who was also a confidant of Zuo Yongning, but he had already followed Zuo Yongning to the frontline. So now, it was Ren Wu who maintained order in Redfeather City.
"Cough cough, those from Qingkong Sect, please proceed as you like. If you get the chance, convey my regards to Sect Leader Xiao of Qingkong Sect. As for this group of people from the Ghost Travel Sect, I will take them away for a lesson. I will also bear the losses of Riyin Tower today."
After coughing twice, Ren Wu then smiled at Liang Yi and the others, taking Shao Du and the reluctant others with him and vanishing from sight.
"Sigh, what lousy luck..."
Wan Tinggui brushed up some of her disheveled hair and took a deep breath.
Fang Zhi extended his Divine Sense and did a simple sweep, ultimately confirming Shao Du and the others had indeed left before nodding at everyone.
"How unexpected to encounter people from the Ghost Travel Sect here. I remember that most of the Ghost Travel Sect's main force followed that person to the Mystical Mechanism Continent."
Wan Tinggui voiced her speechlessness; it was these completely unreasonable surprises that annoyed her the most.
"Shao Du is just taking advantage while the members of the Ghost Travel Sect who could restrain him are not around, coming out to have his reckless fun. He just arrived in Redfeather City."
The server cleaning up the hall offered an explanation.
"I see, no wonder I was not aware of it."
Wan Tinggui suddenly understood; had they arrived a bit later, this information would have been passed on to her as well. But then, Wan Tinggui stopped dwelling on it, after all, she was not a deity and couldn't predict everything.
"Alright, let's go to the Plum Blossom Private Room then."
"Sure thing, honored guest, right this way!"
The server summoned others to tidy up the aftermath, his smile radiant, and swiftly guided Wan Tinggui and the others up to the loft.
"Senior brother? Senior brother?"
Just as Su Youyi was ready to follow the others, she suddenly realized her senior brother seemed to be in a daze and couldn't help but call out softly twice.
"Hm?"
Hearing his junior sister's voice, Liang Yi finally shifted his gaze from where Ren Wu and Shao Du had departed.
"What's wrong? Was there anything amiss with those two?"
Su Youyi, sensing something off from her senior brother's expression, took the initiative to ask.
Although she was sharper in terms of direct observation, her senior brother always managed to spot certain things she overlooked.
"The relationship between those two... is somewhat off..."
While Liang Yi was not accustomed to speaking in riddles, the place wasn't quite right, so he couldn't be too explicit.
"I'll explain in detail when we get upstairs."
"The relationship... is off?"
As Su Youyi followed closely behind her senior brother, she instinctively replayed all the scenes that had just unfolded in her mind. Since her senior brother mentioned it, there must have been something that caught his attention as off.
