Chapter 540: Disciplining Jing Yuheng, Zhuge Ruolan's Plan

~7 min read 1,261 words

Chen Chuyang raised his eyebrows, despising Jing Yuheng before him.

Jing Yuheng felt uneasy inside, not daring to meet Chen Chuyang's gaze, nor daring to say anything.

The atmosphere froze in place.

Staring like that for a long time, Jing Yuheng spoke: "Tianlian Zhenren, you cannot take her away; she must stay here."

This person must die here; otherwise, don't take her away.

What Chen Chuyang would do by taking her away, Jing Yuheng couldn't control, but she couldn't watch the plan finish, just one step away—if Tianlian Zhenren returned to the Heavenly Heart Sect, then their actions would be discovered, then……exposed, the Heavenly Heart Sect's retaliation, the Great Qi Dynasty couldn't bear it, nor could she, Jing Yuheng.

She could not bring disaster to Your Majesty; that was her principle—even if it was Chen Chuyang, she had to come out to stop him.

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master dared not appear or act rashly; he could only stand far away, watching, his heart in his throat, fearing Chen Chuyang would turn hostile and not recognize him, which would be troublesome.

"Her death concerns Your Majesty, concerns the Great Qi Dynasty, also concerns the Yin Gui Sect; not just me, others won't let you take her away."

"Unless."

Jing Yuheng pointed at Tianlian Zhenren, killing intent thick in her eyes to the extreme, she lightly said: "Unless, you kill her face-to-face, then you can take her away."

Saying this, Jing Yuheng summoned great courage to speak it; she didn't want to do this, nor dared, but she still did—this was her duty; Chen Chuyang was not an unreasonable person, she believed he would understand her.

"Oh?" Chen Chuyang looked at her with amusement, his smile thick.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Jing Yuheng."

Jing Yuheng gulped, with difficulty swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

She knew Chen Chuyang's temperament; this meant he was angry.

"Chen Chuyang, it's not that I won't let you take her; it's that her life or death concerns many lives—she can only die here."

"You can take her away, unless you guarantee she cannot return alive to the Heavenly Heart Sect."

She was truly afraid.

The words fell, Jing Yuheng hadn't yet had time to lift her head.

"Bang."

The whole person flew out, embedded in the mountain peak, the entire mountain peak collapsed.

Burying Jing Yuheng, Chen Chuyang slowly waved his palm, disdainfully saying: "Ignorant of life and death, I'm taking people away, yet you still dare to block me."

"And you? Do you also want to block me?"

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master hurriedly left, not daring to block Chen Chuyang's path.

Chen Chuyang then nodded in satisfaction, taking Tianlian Zhenren away.

After they left, the White Wolf Vice Hall Master then returned, hurriedly bringing people to dig open the mountain peak, found Jing Yuheng, unconscious.

"Good, the Hall Master isn't dead yet."

"Panting, Hall Master, you say why you went to provoke him? That person just takes Tianlian Zhenren away—why would you……make things difficult for him? Isn't that courting death? If he doesn't kill you, consider yourself lucky."

"Next time, don't do such foolish things."

Fortunately the Hall Master and Chen Chuyang had some acquaintance; otherwise, she would have ascended right there.

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master dared not think: if the one blocking Chen Chuyang were him instead of Jing Yuheng, he might have died.

The Black Dragon Guard beside him collectively dared not speak, silently watching, waiting in place.

After a long while, Jing Yuheng woke up, saw her miserable state, gave a bitter smile: "As expected, he's still the same."

Their acquaintance was based on cooperation; as for other matters, sorry, Chen Chuyang won't indulge her.

Nor would he give her a pleasant look; and Chen Chuyang, indeed, took action.

"Cough cough cough."

Coughing up a mouthful of fresh blood, Jing Yuheng lowered her head: "Forget it, we can't control Tianlian Zhenren's life or death; hope Your Majesty won't blame us."

She was a hair's breadth from death, fortunately Chen Chuyang held back.

Otherwise, she would now be a corpse.

The White Wolf Vice Hall Master nodded, things that cannot be done, don't do them.

Elsewhere.

Yin Gui Zhenren noticed this scene, shook his head: "Jing Yuheng, Jing Yuheng, you really are daring beyond measure, daring to provoke that person—truly fearless of death."

"Chen Chuyang just needs to move his hand slightly to instantly kill you; a mere Tianlian Zhenren—no need to risk your own life."

"Tianlian Zhenren taken by him, in the short term won't leave Longshe Shan."

"This point, he feels relieved."

Chen Chuyang also won't let Tianlian Zhenren leave; at least, he'll trap her for a period—how long exactly depends on the Heavenly Heart Sect and the situation's changes.

"Chen Chuyang makes a move, Tianlian Zhenren's side is fine; Heavenly Heart Sect, Tianxin Lao Gui, how should you respond?"

"Heavenly Sword Daoist died here; Tianxin Lao Gui will certainly take action."

"Tianlian Zhenren missing, Heavenly Heart Sect—what should they do now?"

"\"Fourth Elder, give the order: quickly set up the formation, just in case. \""

"\"Yes. \""

The Fourth Elder also knew the importance of rebuilding the Yin Gui Sect; the formation, as well as the Yin Gui Sect's main hall, needed rapid construction.

Soon people will come here; the Heavenly Heart Sect lost so many, they won't let it rest.

Also, the Monster Race eyes tigers.

The Yin Gui Sect experienced this disaster, achieved unity, yet suffered huge losses, its strength weakened by at least two-thirds.

These people, each injured, need time to recover, especially the Sect Master, whose wounds are most severe.

The reconstruction work of the Yin Gui Sect began.

Meanwhile.

Somewhere.

Inside the cave.

Zhuge Ruolan gave a cold laugh: "The Heavenly Ghost True Person is dead, the Heavenly Ghost is dead."

"The Yin Dragon Holy Son, and those Elders, are all dead."

"Yin Gui Sect has completed unification; this is a good thing, and likewise, also a bad thing."

Li Shenghong worriedly said: "Holy Maiden, I fear our future days won't be easy; the Sect Leader won't let us stay outside."

"Soon the Sect Leader will summon us back; then, should we go back?"

Yin Gui Sect's strength has weakened; this time, provoking the Heavenly Heart Sect is tantamount to declaring war on it.

The Heavenly Heart Sect will surely dump all the blame on Yin Gui Sect; other forces, however, won't act so quickly.

If we go back, we will have to face the Heavenly Heart Sect's great army pressing the border; then, life will not be easy.

Also, the Monster Race side, this time they took action, it's obvious they are very interested in human territory.

"Don't rush for now; we'll talk later."

Zhuge Ruolan stared toward Yin Gui Sect; at present, Yin Gui Sect's main task is reconstruction, not seeking trouble for her.

As for whether the Sect Leader will summon them back, it's still hard to say.

The unified Yin Gui Sect will undergo a transformation.

It just needs time.

And she does not want to return to Yin Gui Sect, nor become their pawn; having escaped the board, she certainly does not want to go back.

"Holy Maiden, we still need to prepare in advance."

Li Shenghong reminded them, their existence will be disliked by everyone.

Before, when Yin Gui Sect was in internal turmoil, no one paid attention to them, which was fine.

Now, the Heavenly Heart Sect is moving against Yin Gui Sect; they will surely be the first to bear the brunt.
