Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 120
Chapter 120: Sister Qingqing, Go Find Brother Yu And Save Me!
“Ye Xuan, he took my Essence Bl00d for his cultivation, save me, Sister Qingqing… ” Liu Ruyun’s face was tear-streaked, and she said in a shrill voice.
Ye Qingqing felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. She originally thought that Ye Xuan was only targeting Ye Yu, trying to compete for favor and seize the Imperial Throne.
Now it seems, she had greatly underestimated this younger brother who usually seemed like a lamb.
Such a ruthless person had lived by her side for over ten years. Just thinking about it sent a shiver down Ye Qingqing’s spine.
Immediately, Ye Qingqing gritted her teeth and stepped forward to pry apart the iron chains piercing Liu Ruyun.
But now, she was just an ordinary person without spiritual energy, how could she possibly move these chains?
After several attempts, the chains remained motionless, while her hands were already bloody and mangled.
“Ruyun, Ruyun, wait for me, I’ll go find someone to save you. ” Ye Qingqing said while anxiously rushing out.
“Sister Qingqing, go find Brother Yu to save me, quickly ask Brother Yu to save me!!! ”
Liu Ruyun’s shrill voice echoed throughout the Underground.
Ye Qingqing, disregarding everything else at this moment, quickly ran to the surface.
Seeing Ye Qingqing leave, Xue Li fell silent for a while before reactivating the Concealment Formation, and the Passage disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After running out of the East Palace, Ye Qingqing instinctively ran towards Ye Qingwan, but she stopped halfway.
Ye Qingwan’s previous words echoed in Ye Qingqing’s mind.
Instantly, Ye Qingqing realized that seeking Ye Qingwan was useless, and turned towards the Nurturing Heart Palace.
But soon Ye Qingqing realized that if Ye Qingwan knew, Ye Fan couldn’t possibly know nothing, perhaps this was even tacitly approved by Ye Fan.
Ye Qingxuan had gone mad, Ye Qingshuang was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and Ye Qingling was cultivating at Yueying Sect.
In the vast Imperial Palace, in the vast Great Yan, Ye Qingqing found herself with nowhere to turn.
“Could it be that Little Yu was also unwilling to return because of this? ” Ye Qingqing stood there in a daze, lost in thought. After a long time, a resolute look appeared in Ye Qingqing’s eyes. “Little Yu, sister will help you! ”
While this commotion was happening, the Zi Xiao Sword Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony had also ended.
The two were arranged to rest temporarily at the Zi Xiao Sword Sect.
Late at night, Liu Qi returned with Lingyunzi, but neither of them looked good.
Upon seeing Ye Yu, a flash of shame crossed Lingyunzi’s face. After setting up an Isolation Formation, he bowed to Ye Yu and said, “Lingyunzi greets the Saint Son. ”
“Did something happen? ” Seeing Lingyunzi’s appearance, Ye Yu frowned and asked.
“It’s a matter of shame, there were some unexpected incidents at the Sword Tomb this time. ” Lingyunzi said with a troubled expression.
Liu Qi, on the other hand, snorted in dissatisfaction, clearly displeased.
Seeing Liu Qi’s reaction, Lingyunzi chuckled wryly, took a deep breath, and then recounted the events in detail.
After Lingyunzi returned from Qingzhou, he originally planned to report the discovery of the Saint Son to the Grand Elder.
But upon going there, he discovered that the Grand Elder had been missing for a long time, leaving no trace behind, and he could not contact them through any means.
Grand Elder Gu Yue and his companions then began to attack. Qingxuzi and Lingyunzi, having lost the support of the Grand Elder, could not suppress them and could only let them be for the time being.
“So, this Sword Tomb opening wasn’t just for Zi Xiao Sword Sect disciples, there were also people from other forces? ” Ye Yu frowned and asked.
Lingyunzi chuckled wryly and nodded.
“Such an important Sword Tomb opening could allow Outsiders to participate, your Zi Xiao Sword Sect is probably nearing its end. ” Liu Qi complained. Allowing Outsiders naturally meant greater danger; he didn’t want Ye Yu to be threatened.
Lingyunzi’s face turned pale, but he was helpless; Liu Qi was speaking the truth.
“It seems that quite a few people have ulterior motives. This Saint Son’s position seems difficult to maintain. ” Ye Yu said playfully.
Hearing this, Lingyunzi bowed even lower. After pondering for a long time, he finally said, “Therefore, whether or not the Saint Son goes to the Sword Tomb this time is up to you to decide. ”
After exchanging a few more words, Lingyunzi left.
The next day, Liu Qi took Ye Yu away from the Zi Xiao Sword Sect, while Liu Xuan and the others were temporarily left at the Zi Xiao Sword Sect under the care of Lingyunzi.
Watching Ye Yu leave, Lingyunzi’s face was full of worry, the hope in his eyes gradually fading away, finally becoming dim.
It wasn’t anyone else’s fault, the state of the Zi Xiao Sword Sect was the responsibility of him and the Sect Master.
Seeing Ye Yu leave, Gu Yue and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although they couldn’t yet be sure whether Ye Yu was from the Ye Family of Central State, this person was able to subdue Liu Qi. If he stayed, it would be like placing a time bomb by their side.
What they didn’t know was that not far from Zi Xiao Peak after leaving, Ye Yu pulled out two light and soft veils from his Storage Ring. This item was called Concealing Veil and was a consumable item.
He had obtained them from the Xuantian Cauldron a while ago. They could alter one’s appearance, and most importantly, they could conceal one’s aura. He originally thought they were useless, but who knew they would come in handy today.
Ye Yu put on a Concealing Veil. In the next moment, Ye Yu’s appearance changed, and even his aura changed with it. The spiritual energy fluctuation of Transformation God Initial Stage was now suppressed to Nascent Soul Mid Stage.
Liu Qi exclaimed repeatedly, and after pondering for a while, he put the other one on his face, and his aura also reached Transformation God Initial Stage.
After doing all this, the two changed direction and returned to Zi Xiao Peak.
Five days later, the day the Zi Xiao Sword Tomb opened.
Liu Qi blended into the crowd, looking at the nearly one hundred figures around him, and felt quite emotional. There were well over a hundred people here, and half of them were Transformation God Stage Cultivators.
And without exception, they were all Sword Cultivators. Leizhou hadn’t seen such a grand occasion in a long time.
Ye Yu also felt emotional in his heart. This was just the Sword Cultivators, the gap between the Qinglei Two States was not a little bit! Just from the number of Transformation God Cultivators, it was enough to overwhelm Qingzhou.
It’s fortunate that Qingzhou is barren and doesn’t catch the eyes of these people.
However, what surprised Ye Yu was that he saw figures from the Nine Spirits Sword Sect among these people, and they seemed to have a good relationship with Gu Yue.
As for Sect Master Qingxuzi and Grand Elder Lingyunzi, they never showed up, probably feeling ashamed to appear.
“Brother, are you also going to enter the Zi Xiao Sword Tomb? ” Suddenly a very familiar voice rang out. Ye Yu turned his head, and what greeted him was Ye Xuan with a warm smile.
Seeing that Ye Xuan already had quite a few people behind him, most of whom were at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he immediately understood what Ye Xuan was trying to do.
This guy is still as insidious as ever, these people are all cannon fodder.
With this in mind, Ye Yu was about to nod in agreement, after all, the situation in the Sword Tomb was unknown, and having people act as cannon fodder for him was excellent.
“Hehe, Brother Ye, why are you looking for him? A Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator dares to enter the Zi Xiao Sword Tomb, he must be brainless! ”
