Singular Sword to Multitude

Chapter 280 Wrong Is Wrong

The pressure not only pinned Su Mei'er down, rendering her immobile, but also affected the fox tribe in Qing Qiu!

Su Mei'er realized she might have made a grave mistake the moment she saw the Human Emperor Sword, but she never expected the consequences to arrive so swiftly!

"Audacious fox demon, how dare you bewitch the Human Emperor? What crime do you deserve?"

A majestic voice boomed like thunder across the skies of Qing Qiu. Su Mei'er's face turned pale. Anyone addressed by the title of "Emperor" must be extraordinary. She hadn't expected Xuanyuan to possess such a status and instantly regretted her actions!

As the voice faded, the figure of the Demon Saint Nuwa appeared in the sky above Qing Qiu.

Neither Su Mei'er nor the Qing Qiu fox tribe had anticipated Nuwa's sacred presence!

The Qing Qiu fox tribe immediately knelt respectfully on the ground:

"We welcome the sacred presence of Empress Nuwa!"

Nuwa glanced at Su Mei'er on the ground and reprimanded, "Wicked creature, do you know your crime!"

Su Mei'er was so terrified she dared not breathe. She quickly kowtowed and pleaded, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This humble fox did not know he was the Human Emperor. I beg Your Highness to quell your anger!"

The Qing Qiu fox tribe had not expected Su Mei'er's outing to result in such a serious offense, drawing the attention of a Saint. Seeing Nuwa's anger, not a single one dared to intercede for Su Mei'er!

Nuwa let out a cold snort and pointed a finger at Su Mei'er. A green light shot from her fingertip towards Su Mei'er!

As Su Mei'er looked up, she saw a streak of green light hurtling towards her, aimed directly at her brow.

As the green light entered her body, Su Mei'er felt her remaining cultivation, which had been diminished by the Human Emperor Sword, slowly dissipate.

Su Mei'er never imagined that her cultivation of thousands of years would vanish completely because of Xuanyuan, to the point where she could barely maintain her human form!

Gradually, Su Mei'er felt her consciousness fading, and soon she lost consciousness!

Nuwa looked at the unconscious Su Mei'er and addressed the Qing Qiu fox tribe:

"Su Mei'er of the Qing Qiu fox tribe, for bewitching the Human Emperor, her cultivation is hereby dispersed, and she is banished from Qing Qiu!"

Upon hearing this, the Qing Qiu fox tribe dared not disobey and nodded repeatedly:

"We respectfully obey Your Highness's sacred decree!"

Nuwa looked at the fox tribe members expressionlessly and then continued:

"The patriarch of the fox tribe has failed to discipline his subordinates. His position is hereby revoked, and Qing Qiu shall be sealed for a thousand years. There shall be no exceptions!"

After speaking, Nuwa returned to Wa Huang Palace on her own accord!

As soon as Nuwa departed, the Qing Qiu fox tribe members dared to stand up. The patriarch of the fox tribe immediately issued the order to seal the mountain for a thousand years, forbidding any fox tribe member from venturing even half a step outside. Then, they began to select the next patriarch from within the tribe.

In the Xuanyuan tribe, Xuanyuan stared blankly at the six fox tails on the ground, lost in thought.

Seeing Xuanyuan in such a state, the members of the Xuanyuan tribe immediately spoke:

"Leader, we should quickly invite the four Madams back!"

Xuanyuan heard this and snapped back to reality, looking at everyone with a despondent expression:

"Will my Madams still be willing to return with me?"

Everyone fell silent. An elder said, "Leader, there's no point guessing here. Whether the Madams are willing to return or not, you must go. Only by going will you know!"

Xuanyuan nodded upon hearing this and then, holding the Human Emperor Sword, strode out of the tribe!

Watching Xuanyuan depart, the onlookers felt a mix of emotions. They never expected their leader to bring such trouble upon the tribe because of a fox spirit!

They sighed, all hoping that Xuanyuan could bring back the four Madams.

After leaving, Xuanyuan first arrived at Mo Mu's Jing Guang tribe!

Mo Mu looked at Xuanyuan's arrival with a mix of feelings. How could the couple who once shared their lives be so estranged now?

Mo Mu looked at Xuanyuan, and before he could even speak, she said, "Xuanyuan, if you've come to persuade me to return, save your breath. Since I left, I have no intention of going back. Go and live your own life!"

After speaking, Mo Mu turned to go back inside without looking back. Xuanyuan, seeing this, quickly grabbed her:

"Mo Mu, you have always been virtuous. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. I promise it will never happen again!"

Hearing this, Mo Mu replied, "Very well. If you say so, then come back to see me after you have brought Sister Lei Zu back to the tribe!"

After speaking, Mo Mu sent Xuanyuan away!

Seeing that Mo Mu was not welcoming, Xuanyuan then went to Tong Yu Shi's Shan Shi tribe!

Upon seeing Xuanyuan's arrival, Tong Yu Shi refused to meet him, only sending a message through her tribespeople.

"Come find us when the sisters are back. We don't want to see you now!"

Xuanyuan smiled bitterly at this. Among his four Madams, apart from Lei Zu, Tong Yu Shi had the worst temper!

This outcome was entirely within Xuanyuan's expectations!

Helpless, Xuanyuan then headed for Mu Jie's Liu Shu tribe, only to be met with a closed door.

Xuanyuan pinned all his hopes on Lei Zu's Can Sang tribe. As long as he could persuade Lei Zu to return, he believed the other three would forgive him.

In the Can Sang tribe, Lei Zu's face immediately fell when she saw Xuanyuan arrive.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ah Lei, I'm so sorry. I was truly wrong. Will you forgive me?"

Lei Zu scoffed at this:

"Forgive? Forgive me for what? Sister Nü Jie owes you a life-saving debt, so I can overlook it.

"Sister Tong Yu Shi has made great contributions to the tribe, so I haven't said anything about that either!"

"Sister Mo Mu acted out of great righteousness, so I have nothing to say. But what about Su Mei'er? Do you think I'm a fool just because I don't say anything?"

Xuanyuan was speechless under Lei Zu's questioning. This matter was indeed his fault.

Lei Zu looked at the silent Xuanyuan and grew angrier the more she looked at him. She immediately roared, "Get out!"

Lei Zu was Xuanyuan's last hope. Xuanyuan refused to give up and quickly said, "Ah Lei, all the mistakes are mine. I wronged you. I have nothing to say, no matter how you wish to deal with me. Will you come back to the tribe with me!"

The members of the Can Sang tribe, seeing Xuanyuan's demeanor, wanted to persuade Lei Zu. However, seeing Lei Zu's anger, none dared to step forward!

Both Lei Zu and Xuanyuan were their leaders. It was best not to interfere in their marital affairs, especially since Lei Zu had a rather bad temper!

Seeing Xuanyuan cling to her, Lei Zu, in her rage, drew the Human Emperor Sword and placed it at Xuanyuan's neck:

"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll chop you!"

Xuanyuan looked at Lei Zu's angry expression and sighed with a sense of release:

"Ah Lei, if chopping me can vent your anger, then chop me."

The tribal members, witnessing this scene, quickly began to intercede:

"Leader, although Leader Xuanyuan has erred, his crime does not warrant death. Leader, please reconsider!"
