Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: The Backlash Begins, The Tragic Liu Ruyun

As the words fell, Liu Qi’s Domain dissipated. He choked up, approaching the nearly transparent Liu Ying, weeping uncontrollably.

“It’s Grandfather’s fault. Grandfather failed to protect you. ”

Liu Ying watched Liu Qi’s distraught state, her expression anxious. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

“Senior, Liu Ying’s Soul is still weak and needs careful nurturing,” Ye Yu said upon seeing this.

Liu Qi then snapped back to reality. Looking at Ye Yu, he bowed deeply. “Thank you, young friend. ”

“Junior is unworthy of such thanks. I could only use this method to retain Liu Ying. As long as Liu Ying bathes in this Green Light for an hour each day, her Soul will remain intact. There might be a chance to find a suitable Physical Body in the future. ”

Ye Yu’s words gave Liu Qi hope.

Liu Qi nodded heavily, carefully reaching out to touch Liu Ying’s head, but his hand passed right through.

“The Soul has just left the body and needs to rest,” Ye Yu said. With a wave of his hand, the Green Light dissipated, and Liu Ying’s figure vanished.

Ren Xiaoyao, watching from the side, had a livid expression, a far cry from his previous mocking of Lingyunzi.

Now he knew that Liu Qi had been completely controlled by Ye Yu.

“Thank you,” Liu Qi said to Ye Yu, then turned, his gaze sweeping over Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan felt a bone-chilling coldness sweep through his body, like being targeted by a prehistoric beast. He involuntarily shrank behind Ren Xiaoyao.

“Daoist Friend Liu… this matter…” Ren Xiaoyao sensed Liu Qi’s Killing Intent and wanted to intercede for Ye Xuan, but before he could finish, Liu Qi interrupted.

“I, Liu Qi, will remember today’s events. This debt will be repaid! ”

The last four words were gritted out, the intense Killing Intent needing no further explanation.

Ren Xiaoyao’s face changed slightly, but the other party was Liu Qi. Their brief clash proved he was no match for Liu Qi. To prevent Liu Qi’s outburst, he could only remain silent.

Having said that, Liu Qi snorted coldly and walked towards the Great Qin people.

Seeing Liu Qi approaching, Lingyunzi politely greeted him, and Liu Qi responded politely, showing more courtesy than he had towards Ren Xiaoyao.

Ye Yu’s gaze swept across the People, a faint smile playing on his lips, before he rose into the air, transforming into a stream of light and departing.

The others quickly followed.

The farce ended, with no casualties. However, everyone present knew.

In this confrontation, Great Yan and the Nine Spirits Sword Sect had lost, and lost decisively.

Ye Qingqing watched Ye Yu’s departing back, trying several times to call out, but her injuries were too severe, and she had lost too much bl00d. Finally, she fainted on the spot.

Night fell. Because of the events of the day, the Great Yan Imperial Palace, which should have been bustling, was now deathly silent.

After bidding farewell to Ren Xiaoyao, Ye Xuan intended to discuss the establishment of a Nine Spirits Sword Sect branch with Ye Fan, only to find Ye Fan standing silently before Ye Zhentian’s memorial tablet.

Although Ye Fan said nothing, Ye Xuan knew that Ye Fan’s heart had begun to waver.

At this thought, a flash of madness crossed Ye Xuan’s eyes. He didn’t go to Ye Fan, but turned and left.

In the East Palace, Liu Ruyun felt a wave of powerlessness wash over her. Her vision blurred, her legs buckled, and she collapsed to the ground. She then discovered that her once jade-like hands were instantly covered in wrinkles.

Liu Ruyun was startled. She quickly looked again, and her hands had returned to normal.

Liu Ruyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had been mistaken. She smiled and patted her forehead, dismissing it as overthinking.

However, this pat dislodged several strands of silver hair.

Liu Ruyun was startled and finally realized something was wrong. She quickly got up and headed out, intending to find an Alchemist for a thorough examination.

Unexpectedly, as she reached the door, she encountered Ye Xuan, who had just returned.

“Where are you going? ” Seeing Liu Ruyun about to leave, Ye Xuan asked coldly, his mind filled with the image of Liu Ruyun’s muttering from earlier that day.

Seeing Ye Xuan, Liu Ruyun’s panic subsided slightly. She quickly said, “Little Xuan, something’s wrong with my body. I need to find…”

“Find what? You also want to find Ye Yu, don’t you?! You regret it, don’t you?! You look down on me, don’t you?!” Ye Xuan shouted hysterically.

Liu Ruyun was stunned, completely unable to comprehend the situation.

The next moment, a sharp pain shot across her face. Ye Xuan had slapped her, sending her flying.

“Little Xuan… you…” Liu Ruyun clutched her cheek, looking at Ye Xuan in disbelief. She couldn’t understand why he had suddenly become like this.

“Let me tell you, Liu Ruyun, I’m not that idiot Ye Yu. You betrayed him and you’re still alive. I won’t allow betrayal. The only consequence for betraying me is death! ” Ye Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Liu Ruyun, who lay on the ground.

Liu Ruyun stared in shock at the almost peak Ye Xuan before her. She had never seen him like this.

The Ye Xuan she knew always acted like a docile younger brother in front of her. How could he be so terrifying now?

“Little Xuan, you’ve gone mad! How could you do this to me? I’m your Sister Ruyun! ”

“Sister Ruyun? Hehe, yes, you’re Qingzhou’s top Female Cultivator. But do you know? I gave you all this! I gave you everything! ”

“And yet you’re trying to find Ye Yu now? Do you think I’m that idiot Ye Yu? I absolutely won’t allow anyone to betray me, absolutely! ” Ye Xuan’s hysterical demeanor frightened Liu Ruyun.

The Nascent Soul Late Stage Pressure emanating from Ye Xuan made Liu Ruyun tremble. She quickly explained, “I… I didn’t. I just felt something strange with my body, so I wanted to…”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Liu Ruyun, and a sinister smile curled his lips.

Being stared at like that by Ye Xuan, Liu Ruyun felt a chill run down her spine.

“You discovered it? Then you can’t leave. ” Ye Xuan sneered, then stepped in front of Liu Ruyun and lifted her chin. “You are the Pill I cultivated. Your Essence Bl00d is mine! ”

Liu Ruyun was struck as if by lightning, completely stunned. “You… what do you mean? ”

Not only Liu Ruyun was stunned, but also Ye Qingqing outside the door.

Having regained consciousness, she had intended to confirm with Ye Xuan if the younger brother who had always been by her side was him.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving, she heard Liu Ruyun’s screams.

She instinctively hid, then overheard their conversation. Upon hearing “Essence Bl00d,” Ye Qingqing instantly understood!

The person who had extracted her Essence Bl00d, preventing her cultivation, wasn’t Ye Yu, but Ye Xuan!
