From Liu Zhenguan’s perspective, everything was Purple Star Palace’s plan. As the Palace Master, Pang Huanyin was the mastermind behind it.
He had never expected that Pang Huanyin would be bold enough not only to barge into his Hidden Realm but also take the initiative to flare up. There were no signs of the woman planning to hold him hostage prior to this.
Lu Ye was horrifyingly powerful. If not for the fact that Liu Zhenguan had been injured with only one move, he wouldn’t have been subdued easily.
Pang Huanyin sighed. “You’re getting wrong, Mount Master Liu.”
Things had co to such a point where an explanation was pointless, so she felt helpless.
Liu Zhenguan snorted. “Do you think you can do whatever you want by capturing ? Do not forget that you’re in Mount Suru now!” Suddenly, he ordered sternly, “Listen up, the cultivators of Mount Suru! Do not try to save . Capture all of these people! If I’m killed, send them all to Hell with as well!”
Ying Wuji slightly extended his blade and said grimly, “If you want to die so badly, I can grant your wish now.”
“Do it, then!” Although Liu Zhenguan’s life was in soone else’s hands, he didn’t back down. Instead, he even tried to fan the flas. “Kill if you have the guts!” Seeing that the people from Mount Suru were worried and didn’t dare make a move, he shouted, “What are you waiting for? Attack them right now!”
Pang Huanyin’s face fell. “It would’ve been wonderful if you could also be so firm against the Corpse Race. Unfortunately, your resoluteness is used in the wrong place.”
After the incident, she initially felt guilty for what they had done to Mount Suru. However, she was furious at Liu Zhenguan’s attitude.
If he had the courage and resolution to face death, why didn’t he deal with the Corpse Race? What was the point of him provoking the other Humans? Soone like him would only hide in his own territory.
“Cut the crap!”
Just then, Hua Ci erged from behind Pang Huanyin and glanced at Liu Zhenguan with a gentle smile. “Mount Master Liu, why don’t I make a deal with you?”
Although Liu Zhenguan appeared as if his anger had gotten to his head, it was only his pretence. Upon hearing the woman’s words, he frowned. “What deal do you want?”
Hua Ci replied slowly, “I’d like to trade the lives of the cultivators from Mount Suru in the hall for a chance for us to leave safely. What do you say?”
Liu Zhenguan’s expression darkened. “What do you an?”
“It’ll be difficult for to explain it with words. Why don’t you see it for yourself?” Hua Ci then lifted her hand and activated her power before pointing at a particular cultivator.
Sothing inconceivable happened next. Following her action, the cultivator suddenly grunted, and his power descended into chaos. A green mist soon erged and surrounded him.
The mist was apparently a terrible thing, and it just appeared out of nowhere. In just several breaths of ti, it engulfed the cultivator. Regardless of how hard he tried, he was unable to get rid of it. The mist even seed to thicken by the second.
The cultivators around him quickly leapt away, both shocked and doubtful.
“I’m poisoned!” the cultivator exclaid. He could feel that his power beca sluggish, and his cultivation plunged.
While all of them were stunned, Lan Zi Yi felt a crawling sensation on her scalp.
She had been with Hua Ci for the past few days, but she had never seen the latter making a move on the people from Mount Suru. Although the dical Cultivator appeared demure and harmless, she possessed such mysterious abilities.
The cultivator wouldn’t have been poisoned suddenly. Hua Ci must’ve done sothing in secret.
It was no wonder Hua Ci had never looked anxious. Although she would soon be forced to marry Liu Zhenguan, she was still calm and collected. In actuality, she was well-prepared.
Now, it seed that even without Lu Ye and the others, Hua Ci would still be able to safely leave the Hidden Realm.
Certainly, the people who had been selected by the Heavens were no ordinary cultivators. Lan Zi Yi found herself foolish that she had only considered Hua Ci to be just a dical Cultivator. 𝖗Ａℕ𝖔𝐛ЕŚ
In the hall, standing in front of Pang Huanyin, Hua Ci still donned a harmless smile. “If you haven’t seen it clearly, I can show you another one.”
Upon hearing that, the cultivators from Mount Suru were astounded. No one knew if they had been poisoned in secret.
Liu Zhenguan’s face and eyelids twitched violently. It wasn’t until this mont that he realised he had underestimated Hua Ci. Of the two won, the timid one was actually more cunning.
He found himself ludicrous that he had always believed he could control her.
He then said grimly, “Ever since you arrived in Mount Suru, I’ve been treating you well…”
Hua Ci interrupted him, saying, “We saved the cultivators from Mount Suru and were invited to this place. However, not only have you never repaid our favour, but you even want to force to marry you against my wishes. Is this what you an when you say you’ve been treating us well? Is this what a man is supposed to do? You’re a disgrace to all the n out there!”
The smile disappeared from her face, and her gaze was icy. Certainly, she was concerned as she was the one being forced to marry a man she didn’t love.
At that ti, she had rely decided to save the cultivators out of goodwill. Much to her surprise, Liu Zhenguan valued her abilities. That wasn’t a big deal. If he sincerely wanted cooperation with her, Hua Ci might agree to it. Unfortunately, Liu Zhenguan wanted more.
In the past few days, Lan Zi Yi thought that Hua Ci had been calm and collected because she had accepted her fate. In fact, she had made so arrangents in secret, and she would deal a heavy blow to them when the ti ca.
Considering the arrangents she had made, coupled with Lan Zi Yi’s incredible power, it wouldn’t be hard for them to leave this place.
The arrival of Lu Ye and the others only made her carry out her plan sooner.
Presently, not only was Liu Zhenguan held hostage, but he was also humiliated by the woman. His life wasn’t even in his control. Furious, he blurted out, saying, “How dare you reproach , b*tch!”
Suddenly, a Saber Cry was heard. Everyone in the hall was shocked as they looked at Lu Ye, who had just made a move.
Disbelief was written all over Liu Zhenguan’s face. He didn’t expect that soone would dare kill him in Mount Suru.
He had provoked them earlier. Even though his life was under soone else’s control, he still wouldn’t back down. That was because he knew that the people from Purple Star Palace wouldn’t kill him. They had been wanting to join forces with him to deal with the Corpse Race. If they killed him, the two Hidden Realms would fall out, and the collaboration would be out of the question.
Although Pang Huanyin was young, she was wise. There was no way she didn’t know the consequences. As such, Liu Zhenguan was fearless, but his fearlessness was now destroyed by Lu Ye’s attack.
“You…” Liu Zhenguan stared fixedly at Lu Ye. He had no idea what was going on with this man. Pang Huanyin hadn’t even spoken yet, but the man had directly made a move without a warning.
If he had wanted to kill Liu Zhenguan, he could’ve done it earlier instead of waiting until now.
Blood spurted from Liu Zhenguan’s neck, causing his head to shoot into the air. Ying Wuji, who had been standing behind Liu Zhenguan, hurriedly leapt away as he looked bitterly at Lu Ye.
[You should’ve told before making a move! I was almost tainted with blood!]
“Since this guy cannot make a decision, get soone who can call the shots to speak to !” Lu Ye flung the blood off his blade and gaped at the cultivators from Mount Suru, who were both shocked and furious. He pointed his saber at them and said, “Or, we’ll fight our way out of here!”
Seeing how determined he was, Hua Ci felt warm in her heart. She could see that Lu Ye didn’t have the intention of killing Liu Zhenguan earlier. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Ying Wuji to subdue him.
He had decided to kill Liu Zhenguan because the latter had scolded her.
The vituperation didn’t bother her one bit, but Lu Ye still decisively ended his life. If Liu Zhenguan found out about it in Hell, he would’ve regretted cursing at the woman.
Now that they had fallen out, Hua Ci naturally wouldn’t hold back anything. She activated her Spiritual Power as a green air blast spread across the place.
The next instant, most of the cultivators from Mount Suru in the hall were astonished as green mists swirled around them, and they found that their Spiritual Powers had beco sluggish.
When Hua Ci showcased her power earlier, these cultivators felt that they might not be the unlucky ones. Now, that notion completely vanished from their minds.
No one knew when this demure woman had poisoned them. Many of them had never even seen the woman before prior to this.
“Since I can dispel poison, I can also use it. My Senior Brother is a bad-tempered person, so you’d better think it through before giving him a response. If even more people are killed, there will be no turning back.” Hua Ci gave them a warning.
Even if she never warned them, no one would dare make a rash move in such a situation.
Even though the people from Mount Suru felt humiliated that Liu Zhenguan was killed, their foundation wasn’t affected. However, if everyone in the hall died, the Hidden Realm would descend into chaos. At that mont, these cultivators stiffened.
Pang Huanyin and Elder Xiao were dumbfounded upon seeing that.
It had only been several dozen breaths of ti since Hua Ci and Lan Zi Yi arrived, but the turn of events caught them off guard.
Liu Zhenguan was killed, and the powerful cultivators from Mount Suru in the hall were subdued. It could be said that Lu Ye and his three companions had easily taken control of the situation.
Those from Purple Star Palace could never pull off such a feat.
Following a sigh, an elderly man stepped forward and saluted Pang Huanyin. “Palace Master Pang, I suppose I can represent Mount Suru.”
Until now, they still believed that Pang Huanyin was the mastermind behind everything. She must’ve instructed these people to do such things.
Pang Huanyin felt helpless. She and Elder Xiao had only been spectators the entire ti.
“If there’s anything you need to say, just speak to Yi Ye,” Pang Huanyin said.
The elderly man was startled for a mont before shifting his attention to the raging Lu Ye. He cut to the chase by saying, “No one could’ve expected today’s incident, and let’s not bla anyone for now. We will accept Miss Hua Ci’s demand, and we’ll make sure all of you will leave safely. However, I also have a demand. If you don’t agree to it, we’ll make all of you stay regardless of what it takes!”
