“It seems you’ve already sensed my cultivation level!” Seeing Ye Qingcheng’s shocked face, Du Guyun felt immensely satisfied inside and said coldly, “All thanks to you. If it weren’t for your actions back then, I might not have reached this level so quickly!”
“The humiliation you gave me back then, and your determination to kill me, I’ve always remembered!”
“During this time, I’ve constantly thought of killing you, stepping on your face, and letting you, this proud woman, know what humiliation is!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you so easily. I will humiliate you to death, returning the humiliation you gave me a hundredfold, a thousandfold!”
Like finding an outlet, the long-suppressed anger and humiliation burst forth. After the events at Heaven Piercing Sect and the inner door competition, Du Guyun had suppressed his anger and humiliation, waiting for a day to erupt.
Initially, it was directed at Jiang Chen. But now seeing Ye Qingcheng, recalling the past events, Du Guyun couldn’t hold back anymore. Like opening a floodgate, he erupted completely.
Boom.
A terrifying pressure swept out, directly enveloping Ye Qingcheng. Feeling this pressure, Ye Qingcheng sensed a tremendous oppressive force.
Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath and said coldly, “All of this is just the consequences of your own actions! When we first met, did you think I didn’t know all of it was your doing?” Ye Qingcheng sneered.
“You knew?” Du Guyun’s expression changed slightly, seemingly surprised that Ye Qingcheng actually knew about his schemes.
“Did you think your methods were so clever?” she challenged him.
“How could such petty schemes escape my notice? If you hadn’t been of some use to me back then, I would have slain you on the spot! It seems I should have done just that, instead of showing mercy,” Ye Qingcheng said coldly.
“So what if you knew?” Du Guyun retorted. “Even if you regret it now, you can’t change the current situation! To me now, you are nothing but an ant—an ant that I can crush at will!”
With those words, Du Guyun suddenly made his move, his massive hand reaching out towards Ye Qingcheng in an attempt to grab her.
“Over my dead body!” A glint of cold light flashed in Ye Qingcheng’s eyes.
Clang.
A burst of cold light transformed into a sweeping sword light, slashing towards his arm. Unexpectedly, the sword light only left a faint mark on his arm, failing to cause significant damage.
After numerous absorptions, Du Guyun had reached an unimaginable level of physical toughness; his body had become impervious, even to divine weapons, let alone Ye Qingcheng’s sword qi.
Seeing her attack prove ineffective, Ye Qingcheng’s expression subtly changed, and she quickly moved away from her original position. Like a butterfly, she gracefully avoided Du Guyun’s assault.
With a loud bang, his massive hand struck the ground, causing a huge disturbance that made the entire island shake.
“Where do you think you’re going!” Du Guyun, with eyes red with madness as if losing all reason, was driven by vengeance.
He desired nothing more than to capture Ye Qingcheng, to torment her until she regretted her actions and begged for mercy, intending to crush her pride thoroughly.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a sword light carrying immense might, like a reversed galaxy, surged towards Du Guyun.
“Who’s there?” Sensing the presence from behind, Du Guyun quickly dodged.
The next moment, the void parted, revealing Qin Ershi and Qin Yao stepping forward.
“Qin Ershi!” Upon seeing Qin Ershi, Du Guyun’s surprise turned into elation.
He had been searching for Qin Ershi, but without success. Now, fate had not only brought Ye Qingcheng into his path but also Qin Ershi himself.
“This is Du Guyun?” Qin Yao observed Du Guyun from a distance, her brow furrowing, a look of disgust appearing in her eyes.
Despite Du Guyun’s handsome appearance, long-term repression and his cultivation practice had given him a somber and even sinister demeanor, negatively impacting first impressions.
“Why would I become interested in him?” she pondered, unfavorably comparing Du Guyun to Jiang Chen in every aspect—appearance, temperament, and cultivation. In her eyes, Du Guyun was thoroughly outclassed.
“Primordial Holy Land’s Ye Qingcheng?” Qin Ershi inquired, turning his gaze to Ye Qingcheng.
“Yes, I am Ye Qingcheng. Thank you, Young Master Qin, for your assistance,” Ye Qingcheng responded, still feeling the aftershocks of the confrontation.
If it hadn’t been for Qin Ershi’s arrival, her situation would indeed have been dire. In the worst case, she might have fallen here.
“You should thank my sister for this!” Qin Ershi spoke indifferently.
“We were passing by coincidentally, and my sister recognized you as the junior sister of Jiang Chen, so she specifically made a move to help. Now, as the Great Qin Dynasty and the Primordial Holy Land are allies, this also counts as mutual assistance.”
Qin Ershi’s personality is somewhat unique; aside from exceptional talents that defy the heavens, he hardly pays attention to anything else.
By his own admission, he only focuses on those who might stand in his way in the future. Everything else is outside his scope of interest. Clearly, Ye Qingcheng doesn’t fall into this category.
“Miss Ye, I’m Qin Yao!” Qin Yao waved to Ye Qingcheng.
“Hello!” Ye Qingcheng’s voice was a bit stiff, and her face somewhat strained.
She hadn’t expected that in the end, she would still need her senior brother’s help to survive. Ye Qingcheng felt an overwhelming sense of bitterness and regret.
She had to admit that her current position was entirely thanks to Jiang Chen. Without him, she would have died long ago.
Without Jiang Chen, she couldn’t have become a disciple of the Primordial Holy Master. Without Jiang Chen, she would have just self-destructed rather than fall into Du Guyun’s hands.
“You’re also a disciple of the Primordial Holy Land, why would you attack Miss Ye?” Qin Yao looked up at Du Guyun, slightly puzzled.
Qin Ershi was surprised, having not anticipated this layer of connection between them. He had thought the other was from a different force. It turns out both were from the Primordial Holy Land.
“That was in the past!” Du Guyun sneered. “I’m no longer a person of the Primordial Holy Land. It doesn’t matter to me anymore!”
Knowing that his actions against Ye Qingcheng would make it impossible to retain his position as a disciple of the Primordial Holy Land, Du Guyun acknowledged that if he returned, he would surely be stripped of his cultivation and expelled from the Holy Land, or even directly annihilated.
With these thoughts, Du Guyun simply renounced his identity as a disciple of the Primordial Holy Land, as he no longer needed it.
“Qin Ershi, you had a path to heaven but you didn’t take it, and there’s no door to hell yet you barged in!” Du Guyun stared at Qin Ershi, his eyes revealing a greedy gleam.
Then, a light flickered, and the Heavenly Demon’s God Son Mozi Moyuan appeared beside Du Guyun.
