At this moment, the sect master of Tianmen Sect arrived at the back mountain of the sect, seeking an immediate audience with the reclusive Supreme Sect Master.
"Master Sect Leader, there's no need to wait. The Supreme Sect Master is currently in a critical moment of closed-door cultivation and won't awaken until at least tomorrow," a young attendant said indifferently after the sect master had waited for several hours.
"Thank you for your trouble." The sect master of Tianmen Sect handed over a few spirit pills to the attendant, who then smiled with delight.
"Hmph, just a mere attendant, yet so arrogant before me." After leaving, the sect master's expression turned grim.
Meanwhile, Murong Bingyun, who was imprisoned in the chamber of Tianmen Sect, finally woke up.
"Where am I?" She looked around in confusion, momentarily dazed. Along the way, she had been knocked unconscious by Qin Chen and only felt immense pain in her head, as if her forehead was about to split open. This was a side effect of the technique used by Shangguan Xi'er’s doppelganger.
"That's right, wasn't I kidnapped?" Suddenly, she regained her senses and tried to leap up, but before she could stand, the sound of chains rang out, and she realized she was bound to an iron bed. Black runes entwined the chains, their aura deep and oppressive, sealing her true essence within.
"Ah!" Murong Bingyun felt excruciating pain all over her body. It was the result of her earlier battle with Qin Chen in the Holy Medicine Garden. Yet, besides that, there was a vague pain throughout her entire body. She looked down and saw her bruised body beneath her cloak, her white skin mottled with bruises, a shocking sight.
"Ah!" For the first time, Murong Bingyun's normally composed face showed an expression of extreme fear. Had she been violated while unconscious? Being a maiden, inexperienced in worldly matters, she naturally didn't know what it truly felt like to be violated. The sight of her bruised body caused an understandable terror and panic within her.
"I've been violated, no..."
She screamed, tears streaming down her face as her fingernails dug deeply into her palms. She recalled Qin Chen's aura and appearance in her mind.
It was that man, it was that man who violated her! She shook with anger, her heart filled with despair and fear. At this moment, she thought of death. As the Young Master of Piao Miao Palace, the idea of being violated was intolerable. If the palace master knew, she would surely be killed. Moreover, she couldn't forgive herself.
Murong Bingyun gave a desperate howl.
"What are you yelling for? Shut up!" The commotion immediately alerted the person guarding nearby. A sect disciple came over and shouted sternly. Then, he glimpsed Murong Bingyun's perfect thighs and fair, jade-like arms beneath her cloak, his eyes nearly bulging with lasciviousness, and drool dripped uncontrollably from his mouth.
Such a perfect body! If he could spend one night, he would die happy!
"Ah, I'm going to kill you!" Murong Bingyun, already in a state of panic and fear, was now enraged by the disciple's expression. Murderous intent soared, and she charged forward with unprecedented momentum, intent on killing the disciple. But before she could reach him, countless chains of suppression bound her, rooting her in place, unable to break free.
The disciple, startled, cursed angrily, "Tied up and still so arrogant. Believe it or not, I'll defile you!"
"You court death!" Murong Bingyun calmed down instead, coldly staring at the disciple and saying, "Do you know who I am? Release me immediately, or I'll annihilate your entire clan."
"I spit!" The disciple sneered, spitting on the ground. "Stop talking big. Here at Tianmen Sect, even if you’re a tiger, you have to crouch for me, and if you're a dragon, you have to coil. No matter your background, even the Heavenly King has to behave here."
"Tianmen Sect? Is this the Xuanyuan Empire?" Murong Bingyun's eyes narrowed, filled with icy coldness. She should have thought of it sooner. Under the heavens, which other force besides the Xuanyuan Empire would dare oppose her Piao Miao Palace?
