The head of the Kenzō sucked in a cold breath!
He never expected Long Fei Ye to say such things to him. Over the years, he'd treated Long Fei Ye as well as his own child!
Aside from Duanmu Yao, he'd treated the boy unconditionally.
But today, Feiye had turned against him for the sake of a woman?
Feiye, do you know what you're saying?
The head of the Kenzō seemed to have suffered a heavy blow as he backed up a few steps. "Feiye, you … you actually want to kill your master?"
"Your lordship won't spare a single one of those who hurt her!"
The Profound Frost Sword seemed to sense its master's rage as it clanged with Long Fei Ye's words. It was itching to attack the head of the Kenzō at any moment.
The head of the Kenzō grew angry. "Feiye, do you know who this woman is?"
Who is she?
Of course Long Fei Ye knew. He not only knew that Han Yunxi was a descendant of the Poison Sect, but also that Han Yunxi was the orphan of Western Qin's imperial clan!
The descendants of the Poison Sect were feared and suppressed by various powers in Cloud Realm Continent. Every single one of them would try to kill them, while the orphan of Western Qin's imperial clan had an irreconcilable grudge against him.
But so what?
What did any of this have to do with Han Yunxi? Han Yunxi had never participated in the Poison Sect's ambitions to poison the world. Han Yunxi had no idea about the enmity between Western Qin and East Qin! Even now, she didn't know about her other identity.
What wrong had she done?
She was the same as him, unable to choose her parents or birth. But neither of them had accepted their fates, had they?
No matter who she was, he only knew that she was the unyielding bride who'd walked into the Duke of Qin's estate in the face of ridicule. She was the weak woman who'd single-handedly fought against the entire Tianning imperial clan. She was the doctor who'd taken over Medicine City with her bare hands and helped countless people in the world. She was the woman he'd cherished for four years, the one he couldn't bear to hurt. She was his wife, his one and only!
How could she be injured like this?
How could this be!
"She's a descendant of the Poison Sect!" Long Fei Ye said.
The stone wall cracked. He had heard everything that Elder Kenzō and the four Elders had said when they were attacking Han Yunxi.
Even though he had yet to fully control the Lustbite power, he still came out of seclusion in advance.
Separated by a wall, the woman he loved was being bullied outside, but he couldn't save her. No one could understand how painful that feeling was!
This was the first time in his life that he had lost his cool. He didn't want to calm down at all.
"You! You … "Kenzō was furious, but he still tried his best to cover for Long Fei Ye." Feiye, it's not too late for you to find out now! Everyone has the right to punish the remnants of the Poison Sect. I, Tianshan Kenzō, will never shield them! After I kill her, I'll bring you to Medicine City to beg for forgiveness! The ignorant are not guilty. Academy Head Gu will definitely show leniency! "
Kenzō was saying this on purpose. He was hinting at the severity of Long Fei Ye's situation. He trusted that Feiye was smart enough to pick up on his good intentions.
He knew that Han Yunxi hadn't poisoned any of the Celestial Mountain disciples. He also knew that Han Yunxi hadn't done anything outrageous for the Poison Sect, but Han Yunxi had to die!
Once Han Yunxi's identity as a Poison Sect descendant was exposed, it would definitely implicate Feiye. Forget about the position of Tianshan Kenzō's sect head, even his influence in the secular imperial court would be greatly affected. Feiye's own reputation would be ruined as well.
As soon as word got out, Medical City would be the first to make trouble for him. Both the martial arts circles and the imperial court would band together to pressure him. When that happened, the various aristocratic families in South Ning's commander-in-chief's estate would seize the chance to make a fuss.
Long Fei Ye had worked so hard to set up a perfect trap in Cloud Realm Continent's imperial court, but it was very likely that Han Yunxi would ruin it all! His decade's worth of hard work would all go down the drain! Even the powers within the East Qin Imperial Clan would oppose him.
He couldn't lose everything for the sake of a woman. He couldn't bear the infamy of the world for her sake!
Long Fei Ye laughed out loud. Of course he understood his master's words, but he never thought that the old man in Kenzō, who was as important as a father in his heart, didn't understand him at all.
He'd said it a long time ago: Han Yunxi, I won't trade away my country!
To betray an innocent woman for the sake of power, power, and the world, he could not do such a thing!
"The so-called righteous sects and righteous paths are nothing more than this!"
Long Fei Ye's mouth revealed endless ridicule. He didn't want to listen to the old man in Kenzō's nonsense anymore. He held his sword with both hands and suddenly soared into the sky.
No one knew what kind of power he'd given the Profound Frost Treasure Sword, but everyone present could feel the surging waves of power from his Profound Frost Treasure Sword. It was extremely terrifying!
Only now did the old man in Kenzō accept the fact that Long Fei Ye really wanted to kill him!
He reached out and grabbed the air, causing the Scorching Ice Treasure Sword to fly into his hand. He tapped his foot lightly and easily flew into the sky. Standing against the wind, his cold eyes stared at Long Fei Ye.
"You've disappointed your master too much!" The old man in Kenzō deliberately lowered his voice, wanting to persuade Long Fei Ye.
As long as Long Fei Ye changed his mind and killed Han Yunxi, the situation wouldn't be so serious.
"Using the strong to bully the weak, using numbers to bully the few. The two Depositories and Courtyards, as well as you, the Master of Ten Thousand Swords, teamed up to bully a woman who doesn't know martial arts. Your lordship doesn't have a master like you!" Long Fei Ye gave a cold snort.
"You!" the old man in Kenzō was furious, but he couldn't retort.
Long Fei Ye was about to attack when he saw Cang Qiuzi, Second Elder, and Third Elder trying to hurt Han Yunxi.
"You're seeking death!"
Furious, he slashed down viciously right next to Cang Qiuzi.
If they weren't so close to Han Yunxi, he would've killed them long ago for fear of hurting Han Yunxi.
Cang Qiuzi was quick enough to dodge the blow and only received a few superficial wounds. Second and Third Elder were both blasted away to crash to the side with internal injuries.
They were all given a fright. None of them expected Long Fei Ye's martial arts to improve so quickly. Just what level was his internal energy now? Was he at the eighth level like the sect leader?
How could that be possible?
Second Elder and Third Elder grew afraid and didn't dare to advance. Cang Qiuzi retreated to one side as well.
It was fine if he didn't touch Han Yunxi, but let Long Fei Ye and Li Kenshin fight to the death. Then he'd lure the Heretical Sword Sect disciples over and seize the throne.
Although Long Fei Ye's internal energy had improved greatly, he shouldn't emerge until tomorrow. Otherwise, Granny You and Han Yunxi wouldn't have risked their lives to guard the stone door. Cang Qiuzi looked up as a cold smile flitted past his eyes. Long Feiye must be seriously injured!
Let's fight!
Let master and disciple fight it out!
Long Fei Ye blew a sharp whistle to attract the loyal disciples of the various factions at the foot of Celestial Mountain. Then he and the old man in Kenzō began to fight.
The two experts faced off in the air, stirring up winds and clouds as the skies changed color.
Everyone could sense the power of the two treasured swords. Whether it was the old man in Kenzō or Long Fei Ye, each blow was earth-shattering and imposing.
At first, some people thought Long Fei Ye was overestimating himself and would lose.
But after a few moves, Long Fei Ye wasn't defeated. Instead, he was evenly matched with Kenzō.
Sword awns flashed in the air as the two figures flickered in and out of view like dragons and tigers. The young disciples were so engrossed in the fight that they forgot it was a battle for revenge. All they could see was Long Fei Ye.
This man was as dazzling as the sun, moon, and stars!
Cang Qiuying and Duanmu Yao stared blankly as well, forgetting everything else around them.
Soon, several young disciples rushed up. According to the sect's rules, disciples of the branch factions weren't allowed to go up Celestial Mountain. But Long Fei Ye's whistle alerted them to the situation at the top of the mountain. No matter what, they had to rush up.
When they arrived and saw Long Fei Ye and the sect leader fighting, they were all frightened. They didn't know what was going on.
"Quick, protect the princess consort!"
Someone quickly stepped forward. It was a guard at the top of the mountain.
One person stepped forward bravely, and the others behind him all followed suit. They had all seen everything with their own eyes.
They were indignant, but they were still afraid of the sect leader's authority and couldn't help. Now that Long Fei Ye was here, they threw caution to the wind.
There would always be someone who could see what was right and what was wrong.
A few disciples hastily escorted Han Yunxi to the Abstinence Hall. Long Feiye had been distracted by the fight and glanced over, giving the sword sect master the chance to hack down with his sword. Long Feiye blocked the blow with his own.
After exchanging a few blows, master and disciple finally stopped and faced each other.
"Do you want to let Cang Qiuzi off so easily?" Kenzō asked in a low voice.
"He's the second one!" Long Fei Ye said. Kenzō suppressed his anger and said, "You came out of closed door cultivation early, so you're already injured! You can't beat this grandmaster. "
"Unless your lordship dies, Han Yunxi can't die." Long Fei Ye was no fool. He knew that Cang Qiuzi would benefit if they kept fighting.
But he had to keep fighting! He had to kill Kenzō first.
It wasn't that he was heartless or cruel, but that Han Yunxi had no way to live as long as Kenzō didn't die.
"Do you really want her to live?" Kenzō asked word by word.
"Do I have a second choice?" Long Fei Ye retorted.
Kenzō didn't hesitate. "No! As long as your master is alive, I won't let you take the wrong path! "
The sword sect master abruptly exerted strength, forcing Long Feiye out of the way. He was indeed injured, but he could hold on!
Once again, master and disciple were locked in a fierce battle. Everyone was watching their every move. Granny You furrowed her brows anxiously, but didn't know what to do.
Long Fei Ye and Kenzō's battle lasted for three days and three nights without a clear winner.
Tomorrow was Tianshan Kenzō's grand meeting and Kenzō ranking matches, but no one remembered. Everyone was focused on the master and disciple duo.
No matter who won, Tianshan Kenzō was about to face a huge change. Cang Qiuzi was already making preparations.
Granny You hesitated for a long time before sneaking away when no one was looking.
She didn't go far, but entered another secret room through a tunnel that led to Han Yunxi's Abstinence Hall. As soon as she appeared, the disciples grew alarmed and guarded Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was lying on the bed. Over the past three days, she had absorbed plenty of true qi and taken plenty of wondrous medicines. Although she hadn't woken up, her complexion had recovered considerably.
"Auntie You, you-"
The leader of the disciples was about to speak when Auntie You cut him off Coldly. "Let me see Han Yunxi."
