Chapter 2284 - 2284 Complicated and Confusing

2284 Complicated and Confusing 


Lord Vice… Vice Palace Master… It was… It was me…
Huang Zheng stammered with his head lowered. His body trembled as he broke out in cold sweat. He knew that the place where their Palace Master had gone into closed-door cultivation was nearby, therefore, the claps of thunder might have disturbed his cultivation.
At the same time, Yun Fu Ye looked over Huang Zheng’s shoulder. In the next moment…
Swoosh!
Yun Fu Ye lifted his hand and a solidified saber ray appeared before Hou Feng’s eyes and slashed through the air. Hou Feng shut his eyes immediately due to the blinding saber ray.
That saber ray seemed to have turned into the sickle of death as it effortlessly sliced through Huang Zheng’s neck, beheading him.


Before the blood even gushed out, the saber ray suddenly shone even more brilliantly. It seemed as though it could cut through anything!
Bang!
The sound of an explosion rang in the air as Huang Zheng’s corpse was turned into dust. Nothing could be seen apart from a falling Spatial Ring.
Hou Feng was the first one to recover from the shock and gasped. His eyes were filled with awe as he looked at Yun Fu Ye.
It did not take long before the sight of the falling Spatial Ring reminded them of Huang Zheng’s death. They quickly lowered their heads as their bodies trembled in fear. They were afraid Yun Fu Ye might kill them as well!
On the other hand, Yun Fu Ye looked calm as though killing Huang Zheng was of no importance. Indeed, he did not put much thought into killing Huang Zheng.
Yun Fu Ye turned to look at Hou Feng and asked,
Why did he swear on the lightning penalty oath here?

A disciple of the Wandering Saint Palace must have his reason to swear on the lightning penalty oath at this place.

Lord Vice Palace Master, it’s like this…
Hou Feng immediately revealed everything that he was told in detail.
Therefore, Huang Zheng swore on the lightning penalty oath to prove that the new Vice Palace Master looks identical to the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!


They share the same name and look identical?
Yun Fu Ye raised his brows in shock, realizing the severity of the matter.


Would there be such a coincidence in this world where their new Vice Palace Master shared the same name and appearance with the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?
Yun Fu Ye shifted his focus to the other two patrolling disciples and questioned in a low voice,
Do you have the portrait of Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?


Lord Vice Palace Master, here’s the portrait of the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion!
The patrolling disciple in possession of the portrait quickly handed the portrait over respectfully as though any delay might cause him to be killed like Huang Zheng.
Whoosh!
Yun Fu Ye did not seem like he had moved when an invisible force took the portrait from the patrolling disciple. He unrolled the scroll and glanced at it before he asked in a low voice,
Are you certain this is the portrait of Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion?


According to word outside, it is,
the patrolling disciple replied rather anxiously.

Lord Vice Palace Master, that’s what people outside the palace have been saying… There were many Human-Devils who performed the Soul Searching Secret Tactics on humans who had seen the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion. Therefore, we have reason to believe the person in the portrait is Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion!
Hou Feng said with conviction.
Yun Fu Ye narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly. After that, he left like a gust of wind.
Hou Feng heaved a sigh of relief after Yun Fu Ye left. He was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, it was only natural he was pressured by Yun Fu Ye who was at the peak of the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
As for the other two patrolling disciples, they were in a worse state. They had sweat so profusely that it seemed as though they were drenched in water, looking completely exhausted.


When the three sighed in relief, Yun Fu Ye’s thunderous voice rang in the air again, causing their hearts to beat in trepidation.
You must not breathe a word about this to anyone else. Otherwise, you’ll die!
They took his words to heart.
Meanwhile, Yun Fu Ye who had left like a gust of wind returned to the mansion his master was staying in after he warned Hou Feng and the two patrolling disciples. After a while, he thought to himself, ‘Little Junior Sister seems to have seen our new Vice Palace Master before!’
Yun Fu Ye was one of the direct disciples of the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace. Based on his words, it was not difficult to guess that the junior sister he had thought about was Huang Wen Jing, the last direct disciple of the Palace Master of Wandering Saint Palace.
I’ll have to verify this matter with little Junior Sister! If we can confirm that our new Vice Palace Master is Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, we’ll have to come up with a countermeasure with the other Vice Palace Masters!’ Yun Fu Ye thought to himself as his eyes glinted fiercely.
Yun Fu Ye disappeared like a gust of wind again before he reappeared at the other end of the mansion where Huang Wen Jing, his junior sister, was cultivating.

Great Senior Brother.
Huang Wen Jing, a lady with a cold demeanor who was dressed in white, walked out of her cultivation place when she was alerted to Yun Fu Ye’s arrival.
Yun Fu Ye beckoned Huang Wen Jing over. He raised his hand, and a scroll unfurled and hovered in the air before her, allowing her to see it clearly.
Junior Sister… Please take a look at this portrait. Do you know the person in the image?

Huang Wen Jing trembled imperceptibly as her eyes shone.
He…
Two years ago, when she found out this man already had two wives, she had forced herself to forget him. She had been focusing on her cultivation to forget about this man. She did not expect she would feel anxious like she did two years ago when she saw the portrait. She took a deep breath to prevent Yun Fu Ye from noticing the shift in her emotions and said skeptically,
Great Senior Brother, why are you showing me Vice Palace Master Duan’s portrait?

Vice Palace Master Duan?
Yun Fu Ye’s eyes narrowed when he heard this and he muttered to himself,
It seems like they aren’t lying… Indeed. There’s something wrong with Vice Palace Master Duan!


Hmm?
Huang Wen Jing furrowed her brows when she heard Yun Fu Ye’s words.
Great Senior Brother, what do you mean? What’s wrong with Vice Palace Master Duan?




Little Junior Sister, you might not know this… The portrait I just showed you is supposed to be of Duan Ling Tian, the Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion, not Vice Palace Master Duan!
Yun Fu Ye did not hide the matter from his junior sister.

What?!
Huang Wen Jing was shocked.
Senior Brother, what you mean is… Vice Palace Master Duan not only shares a name with the Young Mansion Master from an influential human group, the Azure Cloud Mansion, but they also look identical?!

Yun Fu Ye said with a sneer,
I think it’s more apt to say that they’re the same person!


The same person?
Huang Wen Jing was shocked. When she regained her senses, she shook her head vehemently. She said,
How’s it possible? The Young Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion only left to the Upper Province less than ten years ago. Before he left, he hadn’t even broken through to the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. How could he have broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in less than ten years?
Her voice grew fainter when she recalled that Duan Ling Tian had the ability to improve one’s Innate Spiritual Root.
Huang Wen Jing felt worried as she thought to herself, ‘If he’s able to help me improve my Innate Spiritual Root, this means he’s able to improve his Innate Spiritual Root as well… If he improved his Innate Spiritual Root to a dark violet one and went to the Upper Province, it’s possible for him to grow so strong in less than ten years!

Yun Fu Ye frowned when he heard Huang Wen Jing’s words. He muttered to himself,
That’s true. I didn’t think about this earlier. Even if the cultivation environment in the Upper Province is really good, how could someone who hasn’t even broken through to the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage break through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in less than ten years?!
