Exposed
Why had the Holy Maiden suddenly appeared here?
Shouldn't she have returned to the demons by now?
Murong Xue and the others all wondered the same thing, but for the Holy Maiden to suddenly appear in the vicinity of the Upheaval Alliance, they were certain ….
She was definitely going to find Ye Zichen!
The other races of the God Realm might not want internal strife, but the demons …. They'd been waiting for this opportunity.
They'd planned everything.
Whether it was Xuan Ji or Xue Yang, they'd done everything they could. In order to keep Ye Zichen in the dark, they'd colluded with multiple factions and lied to him.
They'd never have guessed that the Holy Maiden would appear at a time like this.
"Xue 'er, hurry up and contact Beibei. Tell her what's going on. We're going to stop the Holy Maiden. Whether or not we can stop her, we have to let Great Emperor Xue Yang know. "
"Understood."
Murong Xue stayed behind and started contacting Xue Beibei. Jiang Yong and the others sped off as fast as they could.
They had to stop the Holy Maiden before she reached the Upheaval Alliance.
Little did they know, just as they sensed something strange, the black-robed man they'd met earlier chuckled.
"It seems …. We'll have to hurry."
Ye Zichen watched Jiang Yong and the others leave, then returned to the reception hall.
To his disbelief, Liu Jing's tone had clearly been filled with impatience. Yet, she'd forced herself to use that impatient tone to chat with him for almost an hour.
Ye Zichen could be said to be overly suspicious. Even in his conversation with Liu Jing, he'd mentioned Anti-Upheaval.
The results were more or less the same. They'd all gone to a secret realm, and Ye Zichen felt a bit more at ease.
They all came to the same conclusion. Only then did Ye Zichen feel a bit more at ease. Jiang Yong and the others were acting too strangely, which was why he had no choice but to seek confirmation from them.
When he felt they'd had enough, Ye Zichen was just about to talk to Liu Jing about sending more people ….
"Heh, we meet again."
A chuckle suddenly rang out in the hall. When he looked up, he saw that the black-robed Holy Maiden had already taken off her hat. Her purple eyes were smiling.
A few Upheaval Alliance members chased after her. When Ye Zichen saw her, he frowned and placed the jade slip on the table, then waved at the pursuers.
Ye Zichen spoke up after the members bowed and retreated.
"What are you doing here? Don't tell me you're also here to visit."
"Can't I?" The Holy Maiden didn't hesitate at all. She sat down on a chair and smiled. "I came here in advance to familiarize myself with the situation. It'll be easier to deal with enemies in the future."
"Then that's even more reason not to show you around. I'm truly sorry," said Ye Zichen.
"You're really decisive. How could Sun Yige like someone like you? I really don't understand." The Holy Maiden couldn't help but shake her head. Then she smiled. "Actually, I was just joking with you. I'm a person of character, and the unknown is the most exciting and exciting thing to do. I'm not in the mood to test your strength. Besides, your small faction isn't enough for me to test your strength. Hey, do you have anything to drink? Give me some. I'm quite thirsty after such a long journey. "
He waved his hand and threw the wine on the table in front of the Holy Maiden …
"If you're not afraid of death, then drink."
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Without any hesitation, the Holy Maiden poured the wine into her mouth. She drank it warmly and carefully covered her mouth with her sleeves. She looked like a young lady from a noble family.
When she returned the wine to the table, it was empty.
Ye Zichen watched her vigilantly. From the moment he'd first met her, he knew she was no ordinary woman.
It was hard to see through her motives, her thoughts, and her purpose in doing things.
Now, all of a sudden, she'd run over to the Upheaval Alliance ….
"You don't need to worry about the Battle of Geniuses?"
The Holy Maiden covered her mouth and laughed. Her deep purple eyes were playful and pitiful.
"It seems you really were kept in the dark. If I hadn't come, who knows how long you'd have been kept in the dark? What a pitiful little thing."
He frowned.
Ye Zichen frowned. "What do you mean?"
"You're still talking about the Battle of Geniuses? Don't you know that it stopped half a month ago?" laughed the Holy Maiden.
"It stopped? Why?"
"Why? Don't you know?" The Holy Maiden laughed, then came to a sudden realization. "That's right. You didn't even know that the Battle of Geniuses had stopped. How could you possibly know why?"
"What exactly are you trying to say? Just say it!" said Ye Zichen.
"I'm afraid your heart won't be able to take it." The Holy Maiden chuckled, walked up to Ye Zichen, and whispered into his ear, "Xue Mo was almost beaten to death. Did you … know about that?"
Boom!
Instantly, a violent aura burst forth from Ye Zichen's body.
Ye Zichen's aura wreaked havoc throughout the entire reception area, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack under his weight.
Ye Zichen forced himself to look away, then glared at the Holy Maiden.
"I dare you to say that again!"
"I told you there was no way you could accept it."
The Holy Maiden giggled and retreated to the side. She ran her fingers through her hair, which Ye Zichen had messed up.
"A few days ago, your Anti-Upheaval Society's Xue Mo, the Second Princess of the Northern Divine Mountain's Sea of Innocence, was almost beaten to death. Even now, we don't know if she's still alive or not. Xue Yang and the Central Divine Mountain suppressed this matter. All participants are forbidden from leaving the Divine Martial Academy, and no one is allowed to leak this information.
"As for why they're doing this, I'm sure you know. They just don't want you to know. As for me, I just don't like seeing you kept in the dark. You look so sullen, as if the entire world is playing you. "
"Little Sun likes you so much, how could I just watch you get tricked? In order to let you know the truth, I came all the way from the Jiuli to tell you. What do you think? Compared to them, I've treated you much better, haven't I? "
"Is that so?"
Ye Zichen smiled indifferently, but beneath his silence, anyone could sense the towering rage hidden within.
No wonder Jiang Yong and the others had acted so strangely.
No wonder they'd tried to stop him from going to the Divine Martial Academy.
They'd done all this to keep him in the dark!
To keep it a secret.
They'd gone so far as to lie to the heavens. Auntie Xuan Ji was involved, and so was the Four Directions Palace ….
"Brother Ye."
At that moment, Jiang Wei arrived at the Upheaval Alliance's headquarters. He'd been flying on his sword the entire time, so he was several times faster than Pang Zheng and the others.
He hadn't seen a single Holy Maiden along the way, and he'd even wondered if they were seeing things.
Regardless of whether he was seeing things or not, he made a beeline for the Upheaval Alliance's headquarters. Ignoring his fellow disciples' attempts to stop him, he headed straight for the Upheaval Alliance's guest room.
He looked forward to not seeing even a shadow of the Holy Maiden. They'd been too nervous.
Until ….
He saw ….
The Holy Maiden stood by Ye Zichen's side with a faint smile. When Jiang Wei arrived, she even smiled back.
Ye Zichen sat upright in his chair and looked at him coldly. His voice was so deep, it was suffocating. He spoke softly, as if he were passing judgment.
