Qian Ye’s status was unquestionable.
As the leader of Ling Yun Tower and one of the strongest people in the Holy Region, why did she choose to move together with Fang Zhengzhi like the rest of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples?
No one could believe what they were seeing, just like how they couldn’t believe a three-legged toad could only jump as high as a two-legged toad.
After all, it was an undisputed fact that the former had one extra leg than the latter.
Fang Zhengzhi didn’t know if Qian Ye was a three-legged toad, but since she chose to ‘jump’… No, since she chose to ‘move’, Fang Zhengzhi felt responsible to remind that her that as a three-legged… As the leader of Ling Yun Tower, she needed to be more reserved.
As a result, the eerie silence was eventually broken by Fang Zhengzhi’s unrestrained laughter.

Hahaha…
His laughter echoed in the air, piercing the hearts of the disciples of Ling Yun Tower, including Cang Yue, like a bunch of razor-sharp needles.
He didn’t care, because he didn’t need to. Truth be told, if he wasn’t as powerful, he would have been killed more than a thousand times for what he had done.
In that case, let’s keep going.
Since Qian Ye was already moving like the rest of Ling Yun Tower’s disciples, Fang Zhengzhi was going to treat her equally.

Seems like the leader is interested in joining us as well!


Why don’t you make some noise too?


Your disciples are already on the verge of collapsing. If you don’t start ‘moving’, all of them would be goners. Do you really want all of them to die?


Oh, let me guess what you are thinking… Are you trying to use their lives to test the number of Dao techniques that I have acquired?


You don’t have to do that, because you could simply ask me if you wanted to know. You can ask me as loudly as possible, because I won’t tell you anyway!


There is definitely another way of doing this. You can choose to beg for it sincerely if you are bold enough to do that. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t tell you the answer. However, since you would have already tried and enjoyed the process of begging me, the result doesn’t matter anymore, does it?





That’s enough!
A cold voice interrupted and stopped Fang Zhengzhi from babbling. The red light in front of Ling Yun Tower also disappeared at the same time.

Leader!


We weren’t good enough!


Please punish us!

All the disciples knelt down almost instantaneously. Their faces were almost touching the ground, but no one dared to raise her head.
This wasn’t a spectacular scene, because almost half of the disciples had already collapsed. It looked messy and uneven rather than being a uniform formation.
Qian Ye glanced at the disciples kneeling on the ground in a messy manner, and her chest was going up and down slightly. Instead of scolding them right away, she stood quietly on the spot, but her expression was cold as ice.
This wasn’t a long fight.
However, since the test began, more than two hours had already passed, so it was already approaching noon.
The warm mind blew past her golden dress as the golden light shone on her body. She looked like a saint.
The only pity was the fact that she didn’t look too pleased. In fact, her face was extremely black. Even though her face was supposed to be as white as snow, it looked like an inkstone at the moment.
As the leader of Ling Yun Tower, she had never felt so humiliated before!
Even though Qian Ye lived by the principle of endurance and constantly told herself to stay calm, that she must stay calm, she was almost losing it.
She clenched her fists tightly, making a cracking sound as she crushed the air in her palms. The golden light screen on top of her head also started flowing and gathering like they were streams of water, eventually forming giant and vortex-like light spots.
Nine gigantic and revolving light spots appeared above her head almost instantly, looking like stars in the sky.
Nine stars were aligned in a single line!

Leader, are you going to break your promise?
Said Fang Zhengzhi as he looked towards the nine rotating ‘golden stars’ in the air.

So what if I am?
Qian Ye replied coldly, and the nine golden starts started shining more brightly than before.

Seems like I’m right that the leader of Ling Yun Tower doesn’t care about the lives of her disciples at all, apart from being a dishonest bastard.
Fang Zhengzhi said that with a smile, completely unfazed by Qian Ye’s anger.

Hmph, are you trying to provoke me?
The golden light in Qian Ye’s eyes looked like it was going to flow out.

I’m not really provoking you. I’m just guessing… Why would you rather sacrifice so many disciples than tell me the truth instead? Is there a huge hidden secret involved? Let me take a guess, did Yu Er find out about the unspeakable things that you had done?
Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and said.

I won’t answer these questions.
Qian Ye knew what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do, so she dodged the questions easily.

It seems like she really has something on you. I wonder what does she have on you? Oh… I know it, did you commit adultery?
Fang Zhengzhi asked again.

Watch your mouth!


Haha, don’t be so mad. I’m just guessing. Seeing how heartless and cruel you are, I doubt any man would fall for you anyway, so you will eventually end up as an old… Lesbian?


Die!
Qian Ye moved.

Wait a minute! Fine, I admit that I guessed wrong. I’ll take it seriously from now on. Since the emperor had seen Leader Lan wielding the Ling Yun Realm about a dozen years ago, it means that you have not taken over as the leader for a long time yet, am I right?
Fang Zhengzhi took a step back and put on a sincere and apologetic expression.



Qian Ye didn’t say a word, but the nine golden stars above her head grew increasingly brighter.

I’ll take your silence as consent. Then let me guess again… Ping Yang is 16 years old currently. This means that Yu Er had left Great Xia dynasty more than 16 years ago. The timing of her departure seems to match the timing of the war that took place over 10 years ago. I wonder if this is a coincidence?



Qian Ye remained silent. Her expression became more chilling, but it contained a hint of surprise as well.

Are you not going to deny it? Then I shall keep guessing. If I’m right, Leader Lan stepped down after the war, in other words, Yu Er was beside Leader Lan when she stepped down. Yup… You were there too!


What are you trying to say?
Qian Ye finally replied, she placed her hand behind her back casually at the same time.
Apart from Cang Yue, no one noticed that Qian was holding a ball of light, which appeared to be a scroll painting, behind her back.

If I’m right, Yu Er isn’t even in the Ling Yun Tower right now! Rather, she isn’t in the Ling Yun Tower that is standing before us!
Fang Zhengzhi’s tone suddenly changed, and he unleashed his intense murderous intent.

What?!
Cang Yue replied subconsciously, but she quickly shut her mouth afterward. However, she seemed to be unexplainably frightened.
Qian Ye’s expression also changed as soon as she heard Fang Zhengzhi, and she seemed extremely surprised for a split second.

Fang Zhengzhi, what are you talking about? How do you know that Yu Er isn’t in the Ling Yun Tower?
Lin Mubai chimed in. He couldn’t believe what he heard either.

She isn’t in the tower?
Ping Yang glanced at Fang Zhengzhi, then at Qian Ye and Cang Yue. She seemed stunned as well.
Ping Yang and Lin Mubai weren’t the only ones that reacted to Fang Zhengzhi’s words. The disciples kneeling on the ground trembled as well. Although none of them raised their heads, it was obvious that something was wrong.
Fang Zhengzhi’s lips curled into a smile again. He glimpsed at Cang Yue and said,
It seems like I hit the bullseye. Am I right, Cang Yue?


Nonsense! Fang Zhengzhi, you have nothing to do with my master’s business. What happens between master and Ping Yang is none of your concern!
Cang Yue glanced at Qian Ye before she took a step forward and shouted at Fang Zhengzhi.

It is none of my concern indeed. However, don’t you have something to do with it? As Yu Er’s servant, you should have sworn on your life to remain loyal to your master forever. Why did you betray your master after Qian Ye became the leader, and even worked with her to sabotage Yu Er?!


Shut up! I’d never sabotage my master. You… you are entrapping me?!
Cang Yue finally realized what Fang Zhengzhi was doing.

Really? Do you think that we can believe what you have just said? If you didn’t sabotage Yu Er and help Qian Ye become the leader, why could Qian Ye give you such an important position?
Fang Zhengzhi continued. He didn’t care if Cang Yue realized what he was doing.

I didn’t sabotage my master, I’d never do that, even if it costs my life!
Cang Yue’s expression changed, and she couldn’t stop herself from replying.

Why would Qian Ye trust you then? Yu Er was obviously contesting against her to become the leader of Ling Yun Tower, and she even lost to her. Why would anyone employ the servant of her enemy?


I don’t know either, I’ve never felt that Qian Ye, no… I mean I’ve never felt that the leader trusted me…


Shut up!
Qian Ye stopped Cang Yue before she could continue speaking.
The dazzling golden radiance fell from the sky at the same time and engulfed Qian Ye.

Leader, I…
Cang Yue’s expression changed dramatically. She then turned towards Fang Zhengzhi and exclaimed,
Fang Zhengzhi, how… How dare you deceive me…


I didn’t deceive you. However, what you’ve just said was equivalent to admitting that Yu Er and Qian Ye had competed against each other over the position of Ling Yun Tower’s leader. In that case, it’s easy to guess what happened next. After Yu Er failed to take over as the leader, there are normally two possible outcomes. She either leaves Ling Yun Tower or becomes an elder. However, Ling Yun Tower seems different from other sects, because I don’t think that there are any elders in Ling Yun Tower.

Fang Zhengzhi glimpsed at Cang Yue before he turned towards the nine streams of golden rays falling from the sky. There were four lights of different colors glowing in his eyes as well.

Fang Zhengzhi, you’re courting death!
Qian Ye finally moved towards him.

Let me keep guessing. Since there are no elders in Ling Yun Tower, Yu Er would have left Ling Yun Tower… However, if she left Ling Yun Tower, Cang Yue wouldn’t possibly be here. This is contradicting. In other words, the conclusion is that you have imprisoned Yu Er!
Fang Zhengzhi said that calmly while keeping his eyes on Qian Ye.

You…
Cang Yue seemed to be extremely shocked. Apart from that, there was an unconcealable hint of pain in her expression.

However, it shouldn’t be as simple as that. If Yu Er was imprisoned in a normal cell, those disciples who supported her would have tried to rescue her. Most importantly, Cang Yue wouldn’t be working for you in that case. Am I right, leader?

As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he raised his Traceless Sword and pointed its tip at Cang Yue’s throat.
