Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Ye Xuan Caught Red-handed

Ye Yu frowned, instantly understanding. It seemed there was a problem within the Zi Xiao Sword Sect. He then nodded.

Seeing Liu Qi, the person’s expression changed slightly. They said in a deep voice, “So it’s Senior Liu Qi. May I ask why Senior Liu Qi injured my sect’s disciple? ”

“Mo Tong, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect you to have achieved Transformation God. ” Liu Qi looked at Mo Tong and smiled faintly.

“It was just fortunate. Senior Liu should give me an explanation. Otherwise, this matter will not be easily resolved today. ” Mo Tong’s face darkened.

Although facing Liu Qi, the Number One Below Void Refinement, Mo Tong had no means to defeat him, but concerning the Zi Xiao Sword Sect’s reputation, he did not intend to let it go so lightly.

“This person stole things from my Young Master’s servants and refused to return them. Teaching him a lesson was reasonable. ” Liu Qi shrugged indifferently.

Mo Tong glanced at the speechless disciples and understood.

This matter was his sect’s fault; Liu Qi’s actions were reasonable.

What surprised Mo Tong was Liu Qi’s address of Ye Yu. He had never heard of Liu Qi being taken in by anyone.

In recent decades, countless forces had extended olive branches to Liu Qi, but due to his high price, they had to give up.

Now, however, he had been taken in, immediately making Mo Tong realize that Ye Yu’s identity was not simple.

“In that case, Senior Liu’s actions were reasonable. It was the Zi Xiao Sword Sect’s fault. Let’s let this matter go. ” Mo Tong took a deep breath and said, “May I ask this Young Master’s name? ”

“Ye. ” Ye Yu replied.

Mo Tong pondered for a moment. Leizhou didn’t seem to have any large Ye clans. Could it be from Other States?

At this thought, Mo Tong’s face changed drastically. He remembered that there was a Legacy Clan in Central State with the surname Ye!

Upon realizing this, Mo Tong clasped his fists and said, “There’s no better time than the present. Today happens to be the Zi Xiao Sword Sect’s apprentice recruitment ceremony. Would you two like to come and take a look? ”

Ye Yu and the others’ purpose was to go up the mountain, so they didn’t refuse. They brought Xu Yan’s siblings and leisurely went up the mountain.

Before leaving, Ye Yu looked at the fallen Wu Yan. Xu Xuan hadn’t done anything to him, so he sighed.

On the way up the mountain, Liu Qi also used voice transmission to explain what had happened to Ye Yu.

The Zi Xiao Sword Sect was not monolithic; at least, there were disagreements about the Zi Xiao Sword.

Sect Master Qingxuzi and Lingyunzi’s faction firmly supported the Zi Xiao Sword’s chosen Legacy.

However, the many Elders led by Second Elder Gu Yue believed that after finding the Zi Xiao Sword, they should bring it back and have the sect select a suitable disciple to inherit it.

Mo Tong belonged to the Second Elder’s faction. If Ye Yu rashly revealed the Zi Xiao Sword, it would likely cause some trouble.

It wouldn’t threaten Ye Yu’s life, but now that Ye Yu was the Zi Xiao Saint Son, any impact on the Zi Xiao Sword Sect would naturally weaken Ye Yu’s strength.

After learning about this, Ye Yu suddenly understood why Mo Tong didn’t recognize him.

It seemed that Lingyunzi had suppressed the news.

As for the Nine Spirits Sword Sect, they wouldn’t spread the news of the Zi Xiao Sword’s return. That wouldn’t be good for them.

Soon, several people arrived at Zi Xiao Peak. On a platform on Zi Xiao Peak, nine youths stood.

These nine were the nine Direct Disciples of Zi Xiao Peak this time. Those down the mountain would be arranged for after these nine youths were placed.

Seeing Liu Qi arrive, many high-ranking Elders stood up and bowed.

Liu Qi nodded in return. What surprised Liu Qi was that he didn’t see Qingxuzi and Lingyunzi.

“Haha, Liu Qi, it’s been a long time. Come, come, have a seat. ” Gu Yue laughed. As fellow Transformation God Late Stage cultivators, Gu Yue naturally wasn’t as wary of Liu Qi as Mo Tong was.

Liu Qi exchanged pleasantries with him, then found a seat. After Ye Yu sat down, he quietly stood behind him.

Gu Yue noticed this small action and was also surprised by Ye Yu’s identity, but this wasn’t the time to dwell on it. He immediately began arranging the nine youths’ placements.

Just as Ye Yu reached Zi Xiao Peak, Ye Qingqing returned to the Great Yan Imperial Palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Ye Qingqing went to the East Palace with an angry face. She wanted to confront Ye Xuan about deceiving her.

However, she found no one. Ye Xuan wasn’t in the East Palace; he had returned to the Nine Spirits Sword Sect with Ren Xiaoyao and others.

Xue Li hid on the eaves, watching Ye Qingqing wreaking havoc in the East Palace. He pondered for a moment, then tapped his finger. The spiritual energy in the East Palace scattered, and the seemingly ordinary floor disappeared, revealing a downward staircase.

Ye Xuan went to the Nine Spirits Sword Sect. That place didn’t have the Bl00d Demon Clan’s pre-arranged methods. With Xue Li’s current cultivation base, if he went, he wouldn’t know how he would die.

Another Bl00d Demon Clan member would be responsible for following him temporarily.

After her tantrum, Ye Qingqing discovered the dark entrance. For some reason, looking at the dark entrance, she felt a sudden palpitation; there was even a faint smell of bl00d in the air.

Ye Qingqing took a few steps back. She wanted to leave, but finally gritted her teeth and turned back, slowly descending the stairs.

The stronger the bl00d smell became, the further she went.

Later, Ye Qingqing felt that the world had turned bl00d-red.

Ye Qingqing endured the urge to vomit and walked to the bottom, only to see a scene she would never forget.

There was a huge bl00d pool, nearly thirty zhang across, constantly churning. Bl00d-colored Qi was constantly rising.

Above the bl00d pool, an elderly woman with white hair was hung there, pierced by iron chains inscribed with strange runes. Her whole body was stained with bl00d, and fresh bl00d dripped continuously.

The elderly woman seemed to sense someone’s arrival. She trembled, slowly raising her head.

Seeing Ye Qingqing, the elderly woman seemed very surprised and struggled, causing the chains to clang loudly.

Ye Qingqing’s face changed, and she turned to run.

The elderly woman opened her mouth, and a hoarse voice rang out, “Sister Qingqing… save me… save me… I’m Ruyun… ”

Ye Qingqing, who had been running away, stopped in her tracks and turned back in disbelief to look at Liu Ruyun.

Although the elderly woman was covered in bl00d and most of her hair had fallen out, Ye Qingqing did recognize some of Liu Ruyun’s features.

“R… Ruyun… how is this possible! How could you be Ruyun! ” Ye Qingqing widened her eyes, full of disbelief.

She had seen Liu Ruyun at the Apprenticeship Ceremony just a month ago! How could she have become like this in just a month!
