Chapter 2067: One by One Elimination

~7 min read 1,313 words

"Do you want to deal with Murong Tian?"

Li Xingrou then proactively asked Ye Liuyun.

"Oh?"

"Why should I deal with Murong Tian?"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

"Murong Tian is regarded as the First Holy Son within the Sect, and his word is law."

"Fengchen is his man."

"Fengchen died because of you this time; he definitely won't be satisfied letting it pass."

"I think you should strike first!"

Li Xingrou suggested.

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that Li Xingrou would actually take the initiative to go after Murong Tian.

"Then what method do you have?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"First eliminate the people around Murong Tian, leaving him isolated and helpless.

Aren't you an Alchemist?

I'll send them wine and food, and you poison it inside."

Li Xingrou suggested.

Ye Liuyun laughed, "Do you think the Steward Hall won't investigate?

Won't Murong Tian notice that you and I are working together?"

"Besides, Liu Zimo and Xing Baiyu are just two thugs; it's not worth expending so much effort on them."

"Then what method do you have?"

Li Xingrou retorted.

Ye Liuyun laid out a plan for her: "You first provide the money, have someone invite Liu Zimo and Xing Baiyu out of the Sect, and secretly assassinate the two outsiders."

"Once the two have left the Sect, arrange for your guards to kill them."

"Then have someone spread the news, exposing the collaboration between Fengchen and Li Xingrou."

"When this rumor spreads, Murong Tian's popularity will naturally decline."

"Then you loudly promote that I am the one fit to be the First Holy Son."

"I'll give you some of my test information; you disseminate it."

"Then you also leak rumors of a romance between you and me, drawing Murong Tian's attention to me."

"When that time comes and Murong Tian has no one usable, he'll send his personal guards to deal with me."

"As long as those two guards leave Murong Tian to stalk me, I can get rid of them."

"Are you sure you want to use yourself as bait?"

"Those two guards of his are Eighth Realm Martial Cultivators!"

Li Xingrou also worries that Ye Liuyun might get into trouble, fearing she will have no alchemical pills later.

"Don't worry, since I dare to make this arrangement, I naturally have a way to deal with them!"

Ye Liuyun didn't give her much explanation, just said he was confident and told her to follow his plan.

Li Xingrou immediately went to make arrangements.

Liu Zimo and Xing Baiyu were both easy to deceive; lured by a large amount of Crystal Stones, they fell for it, left the Sect, and were killed by the guards arranged by Li Xingrou.

Afterwards, rumors of various dealings between Fengchen and Murong Tian spread throughout the academy.

Murong Tian now tries to suppress the rumors, but cannot.

Those Holy Sons, a few are controlled by Ye Liuyun; the remaining few have no one voluntarily reporting news to him.

By the time he learns of it, the news has already spread everywhere.

He wants to send someone to handle it, but suddenly finds he has no one left to use.

So he recalls Li Xingrou's usefulness and wants to make peace with her.

But at this moment, rumors flare up again.

Within the Sect, people are talking about Ye Liuyun's test results, making his popularity very high.

Moreover, many disciples secretly spread that Li Xingrou, whenever she has nothing to do, runs to Ye Liuyun and stays for a long time.

The ambiguous implication is, of course, self‑evident.

Li Xingrou again follows Ye Liuyun's orders, arranging people to guard beneath Murong Tian's mountain peak.

When Murong Tian emerges, Li Xingrou immediately notifies Ye Liuyun and then rushes toward Ye Liuyun.

The maid attending Murong Tian is also one she arranged in advance.

She stammered, saying that Li Xingrou had gone to Ye Liuyun's place.

Murong Tian, enraged beyond control, rushed straight to Ye Liuyun's residence in pursuit.

"Murong Tian is coming.

You better be ready to perform!"

When Murong Tian entered the Dan Hall, Ye Liuyun donned the Invisibility Cloak and vanished.

Li Xingrou deliberately messed up her hair and clothing, appearing somewhat disheveled.

Murong Tian stormed in, seeking Ye Liuyun; the Dan Hall Steward naturally followed immediately and also reported to Jin Qing Song.

Recently, rumors about his disciple Chen Feng, Jin Qing Song also heard from his subordinate Steward.

Thus he hurried over, fearing Murong Tian and Chen Feng might clash.

On Murong Tian's side, he ordered the guards to knock, and when Qing Yan opened the door, Murong Tian immediately charged inside.

The Lion‑Tiger Beast and some Elders of Dan Hall hurriedly blocked him.

Murong Tian, helpless, said to Qing Yan, "Let Li Xingrou and Chen Feng come out to see me!"

Qing Yan hadn't even waited to report back when Li Xingrou opened the living‑room door and stuck out her head.

As soon as she saw Murong Tian, she instantly recoiled.

But Murong Tian caught a glimpse of her disheveled clothing.

"Li Xingrou, you actually stole a man behind my back!"

Murong Tian shouted loudly, could no longer hold back, and immediately lunged inside.

At that moment, Jin Qing Song arrived here.

"Stop! Murong Tian, do you think the Profound Heaven Sect is your own home?"

"And Dan Hall is also a place you can just barge into whenever you say so?"

Jin Qing Song rebuked Murong Tian.

"Hmph! Your disciple did a good deed, luring my woman! Are you afraid I'll catch them in the act in bed?"

Murong Tian, still angry, even to Jin Qing Song, spoke without courtesy.

"You speak so harshly, but do you have any evidence?"

Jin Qing Song didn't know the situation inside, but he could not let Murong Tian storm in directly.

"You want evidence?

Fine, I'll give you evidence.

Charge in!"

Murong Tian immediately ordered two guards to charge straight in.

He feared that a delay would prevent catching the two in the act.

The two guards had previously seen Li Xingrou, so they instantly exerted a threatening pressure, pushing the Elders of Dan Hall back, and rushed in.

They slapped the door open with one hand and were about to go inside.

"How daring!"

Jin Qing Song shouted, trying to block, but it was too late.

With two "Bang, Bang" sounds, the two guards were flung backward.

The whole living‑room of Ye Liuyun was blasted apart.

At that moment, everyone saw that there were three women inside, not just Li Xingrou.

The other two turned out to be Bai Feng and Zhang Minghui.

The one who acted was Bai Feng.

Bai Feng's realm was higher than theirs; both guards were caught off guard and severely injured by Bai Feng—one instantly lost consciousness, the other's Physical Body was smashed open, tendons torn and bones broken, spitting blood onto the ground, barely staying conscious.

"Murong Tian, what do you want to do?"

Bai Feng coldly asked Murong Tian.

Murong Tian was also stunned.

"Why are you here?

Where is Chen Feng?"

"What Chen Feng?"

Chen Feng isn't here at all; he went to Dan Hall to fetch medicinal herbs.

We women were trying this Youth‑Preserving Pill together; why did you let someone barge in?"

Li Xingrou retorted.

"What?"

Murong Tian also realized his own recklessness.

At this moment, Chen Feng ran over from afar, saw Jin Qing Song, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened?"

"How did my residence become like this?"

With that, everyone understood that Murong Tian had caused a blunder.

Jin Qing Song, unable to explain to Ye Liuyun, immediately asked Murong Tian, "Is this the 'catching adultery in bed' you spoke of?"

"Give me an explanation, or you won't be able to leave Dan Hall today."

Now Murong Tian's guards are all knocked down; on his own, he certainly can't match the Elders of Dan Hall.
