As Ye Wu Shuang watched Wang Jianmu’s body explode and meet a violent end, he too slowly descended and stood firmly on the ground. Qing Shiyu and Wang Kun hurriedly approached him.
“Ye Wu Shuang, how are you?” Qing Shiyu asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been terrified that Ye Wu Shuang might collapse at any moment. He had already lost a significant amount of vital blood while rescuing Ye Yun Zhe, and then he had successively employed the Fusion Puppet Technique, the Transformation Puppet Technique, and the Integration Puppet Technique. After such intense combat, she feared he might faint at any moment.
“I won’t die,” Ye Wu Shuang replied with a dismissive wave of his hand. He then turned to Tang Chuyi, who was not far away, and said, “Elder Tang, if any of the Tianji Mansion’s people here escape and the news leaks out, Tianji Mansion will surely hold Qingyun Academy accountable.”
Tianji Mansion was a force in Qingzhou, undoubtedly stronger than Qingyun Academy. Tang Chuyi nodded and said, “I understand. Not a single warrior from Tianji Mansion will escape.”
“Good,” Ye Wu Shuang continued. “In that case, I’ll leave the aftermath here to you, Elder Tang. I’ll take my clan members back first.”
“Alright!” Tang Chuyi replied, gazing at the devastated underground palace with a heavy sigh. The Cloud-Treading Ranking trial for the Inner Court disciples had been going well until it was disrupted by such a colossal disaster. The trial would likely have to be abandoned.
“Back? Where do you think you’re going?” At that moment, a cold snort suddenly rang out. Among the dozens of figures from Qingyun Academy, an elder dressed in the robes of a Heavenly Court elder stepped forward. He had a robust figure and an imposing aura, appearing to be in his sixties, yet his energy was as vibrant as that of a young man.
Seeing this, Tang Chuyi frowned and said, “Chu Rongxuan, what do you think you’re doing?”
“For centuries, Tianji Mansion has been secretly capturing and studying the bloodlines of the children of various major clans here. Look around; even your Chu clan has lost children who were killed and had their bloodline secrets probed,” Tang Chuyi explained.
“Now that we’ve discovered this place and eradicated these monstrous villains, the matter should be over!” he declared.
“Over?” Chu Rongxuan sneered. “The issues between Qingyun Academy and Tianji Mansion are indeed over. None of those Tianji Mansion people will escape; we’ve already sealed off the exits.”
“But the problem with Ye Wu Shuang has only just begun!”
Hearing this, Tang Chuyi’s face darkened. He knew all too well that Wang Jianmu’s dying words had taken effect.
As Chu Rongxuan finished speaking, another Heavenly Court elder stepped forward, his gaze cold and menacing as he glared at Ye Wu Shuang. “In front of everyone here, this boy has killed dozens of Qingyun Academy’s elder mentors and disciples, including Chu Mingjie, Qin Lizhe, Liu Jing, Shang Wanjun, and Xiao Shangyu. His crime is unforgivable; he must be executed!”
Executed?
Execute my sister!
Tang Chuyi cursed, “Stop pretending here. It was Chu Mingjie and the others who wanted to kill Ye Wu Shuang. I can vouch for that; Ye Wu Shuang was acting in self-defense!”
“Regarding the accusation that he killed Qingyun Academy’s elder mentors, we’ll report back to the academy and let the authorities decide. But if you try to do anything to Ye Wu Shuang now, I won’t allow it!”
No matter what, if it weren’t for Ye Wu Shuang’s heroic actions in killing Li Cun, Wang Jianmu, and the others, they would have been slaughtered by Wang Jianmu long ago. Now that Chu Rongxuan and the others wanted to harm Ye Wu Shuang, Tang Chuyi naturally wouldn’t permit it.
The other Heavenly Court elder sneered again, “Tang Chuyi, although we are both Heavenly Court elders, your authority isn’t that great!”
“Qin Honghou, do you even have any shame left? If you want Ye Wu Shuang’s treasure, just say it. Why beat around the bush?”
“Back then, you were shameless enough to gang up on the Ye Clan. Now that the Ye Clan has fallen and only these old, weak, and infirm remain, do you still want to exterminate them completely?”
“Leave some room for others, or when your Qin Clan faces such a desperate situation in the future, I’ll see how you’ll survive!”
Tang Chuyi was a hot-tempered man and couldn’t bear such injustice.
But then, another Heavenly Court elder stepped forward with a smug smile. “Tang Chuyi, why meddle in other people’s affairs?”
“You should know that if you don’t eradicate the weeds completely, they’ll grow back when the spring breeze blows.”
“Today, if we let Ye Wu Shuang and these more than thirty Ye Clan members leave alive, in the future, one of them might come back to take our lives!”
Tang Chuyi sneered, “Xiao Xiuyuan, as a Tiangang realm strongman, you lack even the most basic magnanimity. I’m truly ashamed for you!”
“Enough!”
At this moment, Chu Rongxuan spoke up. “No matter what, Ye Wu Shuang must die today. And these Ye Clan members need to be taken back for interrogation. Who knows if any of them have been turned into human puppets by Tianji Mansion? We need to check them thoroughly!”
Hearing this, Tang Chuyi was furious. How shameless!
“Take them away!” Chu Rongxuan snorted.
“Who dares!”
At that moment, a voice echoed loudly. Ye Wu Shuang, holding the Tian Ya Sword, took a step forward and faced Chu Rongxuan, Qin Honghou, Xiao Xiuyuan, and the others.
“Anyone who wants to test the sharpness of my sword, come on!”
