The Devil Prince retreated helplessly, and Xiao Chengming’s death was made clear.
The truth came out when Li Qiu Ran revealed his true strength.
Li Qiu Ran was also a Seventh Level Ascendant, similar in strength to Xiao Cheng Ming. Xiao Chengming was naturally not wary of his own follower, so he was killed by Li Quran’s sudden sword strike.
As for the motive, before the appearance of the Devil Prince, there were still doubts, but after the appearance of the Devil Prince, it became clear to everyone.
This time, the Devil’s Way had to play a part in the Heaven Reckoning Inheritance, and Li Qiu Ran was the Devil’s pawn. By killing Xiao Chengming, he could not only wipe out one of the Zheng Dao’s combatants, but also provoke the Zheng Daoists to crowd out Yuan Jian Yi.
However, the crowd was more curious about the sudden appearance of the “nobody” than the devil’s plot that had already been revealed.
It was unusual to find such a powerful “nobody”. The sword just now had the power to wound the Demon Prince, and for others, there was a great possibility that they would die under this sword attack.
Curiosity, scorn, fear ——
All sorts of emotions, all of them. With the power of the “Turtle Mirror”, Qing Yu could feel their emotions that were about to overflow. And rarely was it with positive thoughts towards Qing Yu.
Even Luo Yan and Bu Lengchuan were very scandalized by Qing Yu’s strength.
During this period of time, Qing Yu’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and had changed drastically from the time when he had worked with the two of them to kill Lin Fujiwara a few months ago.
At that time, Qing Yu needed to work with Luo Yan to kill the severely wounded Lin Tuoyuan. Now, it was probably just a one-man job.
The rapid rate of progress, coupled with Qing Yu’s more and more unknown movements in recent times, raised a deep fear in their hearts.
“Your strength is no less than that of Young Warrior Qiao, who is ranked sixth on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking, and can even enter the top five. One of them is the Demon Prince who has just left, and the other one is the Dragon Head of the Green Dragon a*sociation, the eighth in the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings, Gong Zi Yu!”
When he said the word “Gong Zi Yu”, Qing Xu’s eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to poke through Qing Yu’s exterior to see the truth inside, “Gong Zi Yu has always worn a bronze mask, no one knows Gong Zi Yu’s true face, and like you, they both came out of nowhere.”
“Even, Gong Zi Yu has a sword like your Excellency’s, a sword of yin and yang, dare I ask, what is the relationship between your Excellency and Gong Zi Yu? Or rather, your Excellency is Gong Zi Yu!”
As Qing Xu spoke, he stepped heavily towards Qing Yu, step by step, the powerful aura of a Divine Origin realm martial artist enveloped Qing Yu, as long as Qing Yu’s words were not to his liking, Qing Xu would strike.
It could not be helped that Gong Zi Yu was a great hatred in Qing Xu’s heart, and the extent of his hatred exceeded that of anyone else, including Yuan Jian Yi, who had just made Qing Xu lose face.
While Yuan Jian Yi had caused Qing Xu to lose face, Gong Zi Yu had almost caused Qing Xu to lose his life. Moreover, he had also killed his beloved Qing Zhou. This revenge and this hatred, even if one poured out the water of the four seas and a hundred rivers, it would be difficult to clear it.
”So it was because I saw the similarity in attributes and style between the ‘Ten Thousand Worlds of Enlightenment’ and the ‘Tai Ming Sword’ that I was suspected. But to suspect that I am Gong Zi Yu based on such a suspicion alone, it seems that my senior brother Qingxu has become possessed with Gong Zi Yu. Well — even though I am.”
With this thought in mind, Qing Yu looked calm on the surface, as if Qing Xu’s aura oppression was like a fresh breeze on his face, and laughed lightly: ”Master Qing Xu is joking, the world’s population, I don’t know how many, who dares to say that he sees through everyone in the whole world. Why can’t there be me, Zhao Yun, at the back, if there is Gong Zi Yu at the front? It is absurd to think that I am Gong Zi Yu just because I have this strength.”
“As for my sword, it is even a big joke. Although the sword of Yin and Yang in the world is rare, it is not the only one. At least, if I remember correctly, Daoist Master Qingxu’s ‘Tai Ming Sword’ is also a sword that combines yin and yang, right? Only you and Gong Zi Yu are allowed to have these swords, but not others?”
“Besides, my sword was recently forged, and I met Brother Yuan when it was completed, so it’s not as if Gongsu Yu only recently received the sword that the Master mentioned, is it?”
“This is true, I can testify to it.” Yuan Jian Yi said indifferently.
He had just recently obtained the sword ah—— these words, Qing Xu almost blurted out.
But thinking of the subsequent possible exposure of defeat to Gong Zi Yu, Qing Xu pushed the words, down into his throat.
“Since it was recently newly forged, I think the poor dao has misidentified it. Brother Zhao, please forgive me!” Qing Xu squeezed out a stiff smile and apologised to Qing Yu.
Originally, upon seeing an expert of unknown origin and holding a sword that was somewhat similar in style to the Tai Ming Sword, with the same attributes, Qing Xu subconsciously a*sumed that it was Gong Zi Yu who had made a point of the Tai Ming Sword.
However, from what the other party said, it seemed that he might have misunderstood the other party. After all, who would be foolish enough to melt down an heirloom sword like the Tai Ming Sword and forge a new one.
One must know that a sword that combines both yin and yang, such as the Tai Ming Sword, is not something that can be casually forged. It involves the transformation of yin and yang, and even the world’s master sword makers are rarely able to forge such a sword.
If Gong Zi Yu were to do so, it would be like buying a casket and returning it to the pearl, a foolish act. Qing Xu did not think that Gong Zi Yu would be so stupid.
Having misidentified someone and lost face, Qing Xu could not stay any longer, even if he had a thick skin, so he apologised and left with his disciples.
The rest of them, however, did not leave as Qing Xu did, but came forward to talk to Qing Yu, looking for a chance to find out more about him.
This sudden appearance of Zhao Yun, regardless of his origins, was strong enough, he was friends with Yuan Jian Yi and should help him, and together, they were the strongest enemy. Would they be willing not to take this opportunity to probe the bottom of the barrel.
However, while they wanted to talk, Qing Yu was too lazy to do so. With the “Tortoise Mirror” magic, how could Qing Yu not see the dark thoughts behind the smiling faces of these people? Even Qing Yu’s strong state of mind could not hold it any longer, so he wanted to find an excuse to leave.
”Maybe I can borrow Yuan Jian Yi’s cold air ——”
The cold air of Yuan Jian Yi is the best tool to avoid hara*sment from these people. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the actual website.
If these people dared to risk their sword qi on their faces in order to get a word in edgewise, Qingyu would admit it.
However, he didn’t wait for someone to try his luck, but two people suddenly arrived and diverted attention.
