141: Chapter 141 What! Is there a melon?

“That person is dead for sure. How can a Supreme withstand a Saint’s attack?”

Yue Hua’s eyes were ruthless. Today’s events concerned the future of his Lanyue Sect, and he would never allow anyone to cause trouble!

“Whoosh!”

Just then, a white light flashed. Yue Hua’s eyes widened in surprise. Fu You, whom he had expected to be utterly annihilated by his palm, was completely unharmed.

A terrifying saber light had cleaved apart the Saint’s attack he had casually unleashed.

Yue Hua looked closely, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He saw a simple-looking, honest young man, dressed in ordinary clothes, holding a cleaver with several nicks in its blade. He stood in front of Fu You. Was it he who had blocked that attack?

Yue Hua’s expression turned solemn. Although this person’s attire was unremarkable, his strength was at least on par with his own; he was a Saint! No wonder he dared to cause trouble; it turned out he had a Saint backing him. But so what? This was the Lanyue Sect!

With a warning in his gaze, Yue Hua said to Man Dali, “Your Excellency, this person has a life-and-death feud with my Lanyue Sect. He is bound to die today. Your actions now are an act of hostility towards my sect. Do not bring misfortune upon yourself.”

“If you step aside now, you will be a friend of my Lanyue Sect in the future. Otherwise, even if you are a Saint, you will leave your life here today!”

A strong sense of threat entered Man Dali’s ears. The latter’s honest face broke into a grin, his eyes filled with strong Battle Intent. “Hehe, if it’s a fight, I’m not afraid of you. But, if we’re going to fight, we’ll fight a bit later. I need to show you something first; it’s a lot of fun, you know.”

Immediately after, without waiting for Yue Hua to speak, Man Dali threw a ball of light that Jiang Xuan had given him into the Void Realm.

Gradually, a scene began to appear within the ball of light. Below, Yue Ru had already lifted her red veil. Although her appearance and temperament could not compare to the noble Xuan Yuan Jin Xue, she was still a first-rate beauty.

Her gaze fell upon the scene within the light ball, and her face instantly changed drastically. She was about to step forward to stop it when suddenly, her entire body was confined to the spot by some force, unable to move.

It was as if someone was fiercely choking her throat; she couldn’t even speak. A powerful Divine Sense invaded her mind, “Just stay put and watch the show.”

Yue Ru’s expression was terrified. She desperately wanted to call for help, but at this moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to the ball of light, and no one noticed her at all.

Slowly, her eyes filled with despair. “It’s over, everything is over.”

As the scene within the light ball gradually unfolded before everyone’s eyes, the crowd’s gazes began to turn strange. “Oh my, what a huge scandal.”

The expressions of Ling Yu Fan and Ling Ying, the two brothers, were even more terrifyingly grim.

In the scene, Ling Ying lay injured and unconscious in a room, while Yue Ru sat by the bed, her expression somewhat frenzied.

“I didn’t expect to encounter the Second Young Master of Qingxu Valley. Hehe, heaven truly helps me! Once I have you, I’ll slowly reel in your brother, and then I’ll find a way to get rid of you!”

“Hehe, by then, I’ll be the Dao Child’s wife, and in the future, I might even become Empress! The entire continent will prostrate at my feet!”

Yue Ru licked her lips, her eyes full of excitement. She looked at Ling Ying lying on the bed and stuffed a Medicinal Pill into his mouth.

Before long, Ling Ying’s face turned scarlet, and he constantly tore at his shirt, his body burning hot.

Seeing that the Medicinal Pill had taken effect, Yue Ru lightly snorted, “Hmph, you got off easy.”

She knew that to put on a show, one had to go all out, otherwise, it would be easily discovered.

What happened next was not for outsiders to know.

The scene abruptly stopped there, and the surrounding people had lewd expressions, secretly lamenting the missed opportunity.

“Thud.”

Yue Ru collapsed to the ground, her face ashen. Her body had regained its freedom, but now, it was too late to say anything. She knew that today, no one could save her, and she might even implicate the Lanyue Sect.

“Hmph, as expected, no one from the Lanyue Sect is any good!” Fu You sneered, looking at Yue Hua’s grim face, feeling incredibly satisfied.

“Slap!”

A loud slap rang out, and Yue Ru was instantly sent flying, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her hair ornament fell off, and her hair covered half her face, her expression wretched.

Ling Ying’s cold voice rang out, “Bitch, how dare you deceive me like this! No wonder I felt something was off that day; it turns out all of this was your doing!”

Ling Yu Fan stepped forward at this moment, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. “A heart of vipers, taking advantage of my brother’s sense of responsibility to commit such a despicable act. Do you truly believe you are worthy of entering my Ling family?!”

“Good, good!” Qingxu Valley Master Ling Xiao’s expression was icy. No wonder his usually obedient son suddenly wanted to marry, and with such determination; it turned out he had been framed.

“Yue Hua!” Ling Xiao roared.

“You have indeed raised a fine daughter, what excellent tactics!”

Ling Xiao’s icy gaze was fixed on the other party, and the pressure of a Great Saint surged around him. Yue Hua instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

“If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation today, there will be no more Lanyue Sect in Xuan Province!”

Hearing this, Yue Hua was so frightened that he immediately knelt to the ground. “Sect Master Ling, please calm your anger… I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!”

After speaking, Yue Hua’s expression was grim. At this point, any further sophistry was meaningless. He looked at his own daughter, Yue Ru, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

“Hmph, you fool! You did it, yet you let someone get a handle on you. You’re good for nothing, only capable of failure, bringing the Lanyue Sect to this state!”

He hardened his heart and struck Yue Ru with a palm. Instantly, a cloud of blood mist exploded in the air.

Withdrawing his palm, Yue Hua’s expression was calm. A mere offspring, what did it matter compared to his own life? He could always have another one.

Those around him watched all this, gasping. This Sect Master Yue Hua was truly ruthless; to save his own life, he would kill his own daughter without hesitation.

“Tsk, what’s so strange about that? Saints live for tens of thousands of years; how many are willing to give that up? These important figures are very fond of their lives.”

Yue Hua ignored the discussions of the crowd, bowed, and came before Ling Xiao, carefully asking, “Is Valley Master Ling satisfied?”

Ling Xiao glanced at him, his expression disdainful. He despised cold-blooded and heartless people the most. “Sect Master Yue Hua is quite decisive. Within three days, send half of the Lanyue Sect’s wealth to Qingxu Valley, and this matter will be dropped! Otherwise…”

Yue Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although his heart ached a little, at least his life was saved. Some treasures, he could just plunder for a few days and get them back.

He hurriedly said to Ling Xiao, “Sect Master Ling, rest assured, half of the Lanyue Sect’s treasures will be delivered in three days.”

Ling Xiao seemed not to have heard him, turning his head away, his face cold, about to leave. However, Ling Yu Fan stepped forward and politely said to Man Dali, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist. Otherwise, my Qingxu Valley would likely never have peace.”

Man Dali scratched the back of his head, smiling honestly. He didn’t know how to reply. Brother Jiang Xuan hadn’t said, so he wouldn’t say that this matter wasn’t his doing.

Ling Yu Fan’s expression showed considerable interest in Man Dali. This person was about his age and already possessed Saint cultivation. With the arrival of the Golden Great Era, various unknown Prodigies were emerging.

He clasped his hands towards Man Dali and said, “Fellow Daoist, as a token of my gratitude, I will host a banquet at Qingxu Valley. How about I entertain the two of you?”

Ling Yu Fan included Fu You, who was beside him, not showing any arrogance despite the latter’s Supreme cultivation. This was not his character.

Moreover, from how Man Dali had blocked Yue Hua’s attack just now, he guessed that the two were together.

He then said to Yue Hua, who was in front, “Sect Master Yue, these two are my friends. I want to take them with me. You have no objections, right?”

Yue Hua’s hands behind his back clenched. Although he was unwilling and hated Fu You and the other person intensely, even with ten times his courage, he wouldn’t dare to defy the Profound Plains Dao Child’s command.

He suppressed the resentment in his heart, his face devoid of any expression, and respectfully said to Ling Yu Fan, “Yes, all according to Dao Child’s command.”

However, Fu You stepped forward and said, “Hehe, thank you, Young Master. But I, the Hall Master, have no intention of leaving.”

Saying this, his hateful gaze turned towards Yue Hua. “Old man, you don’t think this matter is over, do you?”

At the guest seats below, Jiang Xuan put down his wine cup, clapped his hands, and a smile played on his lips. “The show is over. Now it’s time for this World Master to make his appearance.”
