Yang Jian's purple-green robe floated down from the sky. His resolute words echoed in the sky along with the robe.
When he heard this, Ye Zichen's hands trembled violently. His eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Yang Jian's resolute expression.
Even though this was all a prearranged show, Ye Zichen was still somewhat moved.
"Are you serious?"
"Since we don't trust each other, there's no point in being brothers."
Yang Jian snorted coldly, his lance glinting with cold light.
"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You go your own way, and I'll go mine. I hope your future is bright, and that you'll accomplish great things. Hah, let's part ways here. "
Suddenly, Yang Jian turned around and put away his three-pointed, double-edged sword.
With his back to Ye Zichen and the Great Sage, he waved, then dashed off into the distance without so much as a backward glance.
"Stop right there."
To Yang Jian's surprise, before he'd even taken a few steps, Ye Zichen's trembling hands steadied his expression. His eyes were undisguisable indifference.
When Yang Jian heard this, he turned around and looked into Ye Zichen's icy eyes.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
"It seems our brotherhood isn't all that important to you," said Ye Zichen with a cold smile, then cracked his neck. "You're heartless, so don't blame me for being heartless. You've been with me for so long. You know far too much top-secret information that I can't divulge to outsiders. "
"Explain yourself!" said Yang Jian.
"You took the initiative to cut ties with us, which resolves my hesitation. You and I are no longer brothers, so I no longer need to worry about our relationship. "
Ye Zichen's expression was as cold as ice, and his aura surged.
Behind him, the Great Sage gripped his staff tightly. Boundless divine power wove a tight net around Yang Jian, trapping him within.
Fierce winds howled in the sky, causing the clouds to churn.
Thunder rumbled incessantly, and lightning flashed between the clouds.
The howling winds caused Yang Jian, Ye Zichen, and the Great Sage's robes to flap wildly. They stood proudly at the center of the storm ….
"Capture him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Great Sage swung the Jingu Bang in his hand.
The Erlang Lance that Yang Jian had just put away was once again summoned out. With a crisp clang, a raging storm rolled up the clouds and shook the entire void.
The collision of divine power created an explosion that caused even a Sovereign expert's heart to clench involuntarily.
"Why haven't they come down yet?"
Inside the Upheaval Alliance, Xiao Yumei and the others looked up at the sky, but the mist was too thick. Even with their eyesight, they couldn't see through it.
At this moment, the loud noise in the sky caused the hearts of the people waiting below to tremble.
"Is it the alliance leader and the others?" Wei Jie exclaimed.
Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei furrowed their brows. Before long, they glanced at each other, then leapt into the sky.
"Wait here, we'll go up and take a look."
Up in the sky, Yang Jian's eyes grew sharp as he resisted the Great Sage's staff.
He gnashed his teeth, his eyes flashing with resentment and disbelief as he stared at Ye Zichen. His expression was indescribably rich.
"Ye-zi, are you trying to get rid of me?"
"Don't blame me," said Ye Zichen. "You know too much. I can't just let you go," said Ye Zichen.
"I swear I won't tell anyone. Even if we're done with each other, I won't be so despicable as to expose your secrets to the world," said Yang Jian solemnly.
"I'm sorry, I don't trust you, and I can't afford to gamble." Ye Zichen smiled coldly at him, then turned to the Great Sage and roared, "Great Sage, capture him!"
"Ye-zi!" Yang Jian roared.
"Do it!"
Ye Zichen had completely immersed himself in this drama. His gaze didn't contain even the slightest hint of hesitation. Yang Jian truly understood what it meant to be discouraged.
He nodded repeatedly, his lips trembling, but for a long time, he didn't say a single word.
In the face of the Great Sage's thunderous attacks, he just dealt with them absentmindedly. He'd taken who knew how many blows, but his gaze never left Ye Zichen's.
He looked at Ye Zichen's single eye peeking out from beneath his mask, and saw his indifference.
The Great Sage's rolling shadows slammed into Yang Jian's back, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood. Yet, Ye Zichen's expression didn't change in the slightest. Yang Jian's heart was truly cold.
"Die!"
The Great Sage gripped the Ruyi Jingu Bang with both hands and swung it viciously at Yang Jian's head.
At that moment, a hint of a smile flashed through Yang Jian's eyes. Suddenly, he transformed into a shadow and merged with the sky. When he reappeared, he was right behind Ye Zichen.
"It's finally over."
The Great Sage's pupils constricted, but his eyes were filled with panic. He reached out and grabbed Ye Zichen.
When he sensed Yang Jian's appearance, Ye Zichen was terrified as well, but inwardly, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Yang Jian was just about to put an end to this drama, but his hand, gripping his lance, trembled slightly.
The person in front of him was one of his best friends, but now he was going to personally chop off his arm with his three-pointed, double-edged sword.
Even though he knew this was just a show to trick the Xiao Family, he ….
"What are you waiting for? Do it!"
Ye Zichen's divine sense transmission exploded in Yang Jian's sea of consciousness. Yang Jian's hand trembled even more violently, then his expression froze.
There was a flash of silver light.
Yang Jian ruthlessly cut off the Hermit Emperor's lotus-like arm. He coughed up so much blood that his eyes turned red.
He reached out and grabbed the arm, his eyes filled with savagery, but tears trickled down the corners of his eyes.
"You owe me this arm. I'm taking it back now! I was truly blind back then to call you my brother! Die! "
The halberd pierced through Ye Zichen's collarbone. At that moment, Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei arrived.
"Yang Jian!"
Pu Jingwan's eyes widened as she charged forward. Yang Jian glanced at the people in the sky, then turned tail and fled. The Great Sage and Pu Jingwan chased after him. Meanwhile, Xiao Yumei clung to Ye Zichen tightly and sealed the veins in his arm and collarbone. She bit her lip and landed within the Upheaval Alliance's courtyard.
Wei Jie and the others were horrified when they saw this. Xiao Yumei bit her lip and shouted, "Yang Jian betrayed the alliance!
"Yang Jian betrayed the alliance and tried to kill the alliance leader. Send people … kill him! Kill him!"
She screamed hysterically. She was a woman who'd just seen her lover gravely injured. She'd gone completely mad. Wei Jie didn't doubt her. He led Xiao Yan and Xiao Hu to contact the Alliance's ruler-level experts.
Xiao Yumei bit her lip, took out a pill, and shoved it into Ye Zichen's mouth.
"Do you have to go this far?"
A divine sense transmission rang out in Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness. He feigned an expression of unbearable pain and sighed inwardly.
"It has to be like this. Otherwise, how could Yang Jian have a reasonable excuse to go to the Xiao Family? By injuring me, we've pushed him completely against us. That's the only way he can live in relative safety. "
