Chapter 167: Ye Sanjian's Secret Agent Exposed, It Was Him Who Poisoned Back Then!

Liu Qingtian's mood was extremely complicated.

He did not speak the truth.

One reason was that even if Sima Cheng knew, he could not help.

The strongest person the Jiangnan Prefecture Military Department could spare, Sima Kong, was only a Half-step Martial King...

Other powerhouses were all being held back by the Dimensional Gate!

The second reason was that Li Qingqing was still here!

"Hiccup."

But at this moment, a drunken hiccup sounded.

The figure of Zui Xiaoyao suddenly appeared here.

The whole person was lying on the floor, the kind who had just finished drinking a mouthful of wine with great satisfaction.

"Hehe, my disciple actually has SSSS-ji talent.

Not bad, truly not bad, worthy of the person I took a fancy to~"

"This person is that instructor from Qingshan Martial Arts University, Zui Xiaoyao?" Liu Qingtian saw Zui Xiaoyao clearly and let out an even longer sigh.

He had not known Zui Xiaoyao before.

He only knew Zui Xiaoyao's name from Haiboxi and the other three.

He also knew the evaluation Haiboxi and the other three had for Zui Xiaoyao: unreliable, extremely unreliable!

Now that he saw him, he felt even more that meeting in person was not as good as hearing the reputation!

Such an existence, even if their strength was a bit stronger than Haiboxi and the other three, at most they had just entered the Grandmaster Realm.

But Ye Bai's talent grade after the mutation was so high.

Plus the upgrade from the Mending Heaven Stone, he was expected to be the First Genius in a hundred years.

Unless a Martial King Realm powerhouse could protect Ye Bai at all times, otherwise Ye Bai could be in mortal danger at any moment!

However.

"He, is he the senior Wine Sword King?!"

"Student Li Qingqing, Ye Bai chose Qingshan Martial Arts University?!"

Sima Cheng also saw Zui Xiaoyao clearly at this time.

Realizing something, he turned his head abruptly to ask Li Qingqing.

"Yes," Li Qingqing said.

"Ah, this...

Although senior Wine Sword King is a Martial King Realm powerhouse...

But he has no reason to run to Qingshan Martial Arts University, right?!"

Sima Cheng's expression was even more peculiar.

"Officer Sima, you just said, who is this again?

Senior Wine Sword King? A Seventh Grade Martial King powerhouse?"

Liu Qingtian heard what Sima Cheng said, but his eyes widened abruptly.

"That's right, you didn't know?"

"Zui Xiaoyao of Qingshan Martial Arts University, a famously powerful Martial King, once used his Wine Sword Art to behead a Half-step Martial Saint, but he is also famously unreliable..."

Sima Cheng did not dare to discuss Zui Xiaoyao to his face and transmitted his voice.

"Once beheaded, a Half-step Martial Saint?!"

Liu Qingtian, however, only heard the information he wanted to hear.

"Haha, good, very good!"

"Young Friend Ye's choice of Qingshan Martial Arts University was a good one!"

"This talent upgrade is even more wonderful!"

Regaining his senses, he could not help but laugh heartily in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up!

He had originally thought that this upgrade for Ye Bai was a blessing, not a curse.

He never expected it to be a pure surprise!

With Zui Xiaoyao as Ye Bai's teacher—no, master—

even if it were exposed that Ye Bai was a genius with the potential for the Emperor-level, Ye Sanjian and the people behind him would not dare to act rashly!

"Director Liu, why are you frowning one moment and laughing so happily the next?" Sima Cheng's gaze was strange.

"Ahem, it's nothing, I just remembered that the sow at home is about to give birth..."

Liu Qingtian hurriedly coughed, not wanting the two, especially Li Qingqing, to see the problem.

"That, senior Wine Sword King, are you planning to personally take Ye Bai to Qingshan Martial Arts University after his upgrade is successful?" He then rubbed his hands and ran in front of Zui Xiaoyao to ask.

"Of course." Zui Xiaoyao's eyes were meaningful.

Liu Qingtian was even more relieved.

"Officer Sima, I wonder how much longer Young Friend Ye's talent upgrade will take?" He asked about Ye Bai's situation.

"Hmm, I estimate, at most another ten-plus hours?"

Sima Cheng said in a deep voice.

He did not dare to speak too definitively.

He was truly a bit afraid.

"Upgrading talent takes almost a whole day..."

"White God, awesome..."

Liu Qingtian was also genuinely excited from the bottom of his heart.

He spoke the one sentence that was currently being spammed across every forum!

……

At the same time.

Jiangcheng, top-tier prestigious family, the Ning Family!

Last night, a riot broke out within the Ning Family.

However, the riot did not spread outside the Ning Family, but was suppressed early on.

But although the riot was suppressed, the matter was far from over!

Early in the morning, all the clan elders and high-level members of the Ning Family received a notice.

A Ning Family clan meeting was to be convened!

Even those who had been guarding the Dimensional Gate for years had to swap shifts and return!

At this moment.

Inside the Ning Family ancestral hall.

"Slap!" The strongest member of the Ning Family, the old patriarch Ning Wande, who spent his years inside the space of the Dimensional Gate, slammed a fierce palm onto the table!

"Ning Zhengrong, you have some nerve!"

"Colluding with an Alien Race, and with the King Bloodline of a Sixth-rank Alien Beast at that!

If I hadn't happened to return and discovered it in time to interrupt your summoning ritual,"

"Forget about our Ning Family, the entire Jiangcheng would have been buried by your own hand!!"

The man named Ning Zhengrong was a middle-aged, burly man with a thick beard.

He was tied up tightly and kneeling in the middle of the ancestral hall.

Facing the old patriarch's interrogation and the angry glares of everyone, the panic in his eyes could not be hidden, and he could never forget what had happened last night.

How could it be like this?!

He had clearly used the secret treasure given by Master Ye to conceal the fluctuations of summoning the Alien Beast.

He only needed three Sixth-rank Alien Beasts to descend upon Jiangcheng, and he could have executed the original plan to kill Ye Bai!

Even if the Ning Family and Jiangcheng were to perish, he could have entered that organization under the protection of Master Ye, and becoming a Grandmaster or even a Martial King would not have been a dream; he could even rebuild the Ning Family in the future!

"Ning Zhengrong, right now, immediately, confess honestly: why on earth did you want to be a traitor to the Human Race!!" The old patriarch questioned him again at this moment.

"If you tell us now, I can let you die within the Ning Family, instead of sending you to the Dragon Guard to suffer a torturous death!"

"Dad, you can't blame me!" Hearing that he was going to die regardless, Ning Zhengrong panicked even more and dared not hide it any longer.

"I... I was acting under the orders of Master Ye, Ye Sanjian, to summon the Alien Race!"

"It was he who told me to kill Ye Bai at all costs!"

He blurted out the truth at top speed.

"What? The number one Grandmaster of Jiangnan Prefecture, Ye Sanjian!?"

"Why would he want to kill Ye Bai?"

"Could it be because Ye Bai caused Shangguan Yijian to lose his eligibility in the Ladder Tournament?!"

"Heh, this Ye Bai really knows how to stir up trouble!

Not long ago he killed two young masters of our Ning Family, killed Nangong Zheng, and in the blink of an eye, he has offended Master Ye to death!"

The members of the Ning Family were shocked upon hearing this, and some sneered.

Long before the second Ranking Tournament began, the Ning Family had already pieced together various clues.

They had concluded that Ning Qi and Nangong Zheng had also died at the hands of Ye Bai!

It was just that Ye Bai's reputation was rising ever higher, and the Ning Family Head could never find an opportunity for revenge!

They even informed the Nangong Family of this news, but the Nangong Family said that since the matter was impossible to pursue, they should let it go.

"Dad, if what my second brother says is true, then we don't need to blow this out of proportion!"

The Ning Family Head's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward.

"Because the Ye Bai that my second brother wanted to kill is already an enemy of our Ning Family! That Ye Bai not only killed Feng'er, but also killed Qi'er, the two Qilin children of our Ning Family!"

"Although my second brother's actions were reckless, I think there was also a desire to avenge the blood feud of our Ning Family! His crime does not warrant death!"

Ning Zhengrong immediately felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. "That's right, Dad! You can't kill me, and you certainly can't hand me over to the Dragon Guard!"

"But..." Ning Wande hesitated.

"Dad, most importantly, only we in the Ning Family know about this right now! If you insist on blowing this out of proportion, you will inevitably have to make it public and let Ye Bai know about it!

What benefit would that bring to our Ning Family? We are already a top-tier prestigious family; we don't lack that bit of reputation!"

"Ye Sanjian is the number one Grandmaster of Jiangnan. If Ye Bai doesn't know he has offended that person, he surely won't live much longer! We cannot let the blood of Feng'er and Qi'er be shed in vain!"

The Ning Family Head's words completely swayed Ning Wande!

Although he was dissatisfied with Ning Zhengrong for almost destroying the Ning Family, what fault did Ning Feng and Ning Qi have?

However.

"I disagree!" A voice suddenly rang out!

"Ning Yuan, don't be ridiculous!" The Ning Family Head scolded coldly.

The person speaking was none other than Ning Yuan, who had been at odds with Ye Bai since the start of Martial Arts High School!

As the only surviving son of the current Ning Family Head, he naturally had to attend this clan meeting!

"I am not being ridiculous..." Ning Yuan said again, his expression even more complex.

"Although I don't know what Ye Sanjian is plotting, if I'm not mistaken, this isn't the first time Second Uncle has colluded with an Alien Race, is it?

That Second Grade Evil Spirit that descended upon the Wilderness, and the incident during the first Ranking Tournament—those were all done by Second Uncle, right?"

No one knew how much Ning Yuan had suffered during this period.

In the first Ranking Tournament, he was saved by Li Qingqing.

In the second Ranking Tournament, he witnessed Ye Bai's heaven-defying points.

During the Ladder Tournament, he was also one of the few who did not give their points to Ye Bai.

Because the young girl had only warned him that he could no longer be enemies with Ye Bai.

He also did not want to sacrifice himself to help Ye Bai!

As a result, not only did he fail to enter the top fifty, but even someone like Zhuge Yun made it in.

He even witnessed with his own eyes Ye Bai reaching the summit of Jiangnan Prefecture!

That feeling of being unwilling in his heart, yet being unable to do anything, only able to watch helplessly as Ye Bai became increasingly dazzling, once caused Ning Yuan to collapse!

Li Qingqing was also ranked in the top five.

Even without Ye Bai, the gap between him and the young girl was not as simple as Third High School's first place versus second place, but rather like a natural chasm!

"You all think that as long as we, the Ning Family, don't speak of this matter, Ye Bai won't know, and he will sooner or later die at the hands of Ye Sanjian..."

"But I know how monstrous Ye Bai is; he won't die. There are plenty of people willing to protect him, especially now that he has enrolled in Martial University."

"If he stays alive, even if he doesn't know about Second Uncle's actions this time, sooner or later, he will investigate what Second Uncle did in the past!"

The reason Ning Yuan spoke up at this moment was also simple.

Reason told him he should not get involved in this matter, and he also wanted to see Ye Bai die.

Yet intuition told him that with that youth's monstrous nature, the Ning Family choosing to remain silent would only bring a massive catastrophe upon the Ning Family!

"Ning Yuan, what kind of joke are you telling?"

"Ye Sanjian is the number one Grandmaster of Jiangnan Prefecture; if he wants to kill Ye Bai, can Ye Bai survive?"

"If you ask me, you were just intimidated by Ye Bai during the month of training in the Genius Camp. No matter what, he is just a genius who hasn't fully grown yet!"

Most of the Ning Family did not take what Ning Yuan said seriously.

"Then what if I tell you that the reason Ye Bai was able to take first place in the Ladder Tournament, and the reason he reached the Fourth Grade of Mind and Martial Arts in half a year, is because everyone underestimated his talent grade?"

"What if he is actually SSS-level, or even SSSS-ji in Martial Arts Talent? And his talent is still upgrading right now?"

Ning Yuan said with an even more complicated tone.

"What kind of international joke is this?"

"Clatter."

Ning Yuan took out his phone and threw it into the middle of the ancestral hall.

On the screen was the Jiangcheng Martial Artist Association app forum.

Ning Yuan did not want to admit it either.

But the facts told him that the extent of Ye Bai's monstrous nature exceeded anyone's imagination!

"Hiss!"

"How is that possible?!"

At this moment, the entire Ning Family was shocked!

"Someone, take Ning Zhengrong away...

Find someone to keep watch at Wangxing Pavilion, and the moment Ye Bai's talent upgrade ends, go to Ye Bai to offer a humble apology!!"

Ning Wande let out a long, lingering sigh!
