544: Blood debt paid with blood

“Ye Lingtian.” Gu Qing muttered to himself.

Such an overbearing name, and with the surname Ye, he was undoubtedly the protagonist of an ancient novel.

He hadn't expected You Kui’s Revered Master to be the protagonist, and to have joined a rival Sect—how interesting.

Gu Qing, with his ten years of experience as a 'Book Emperor,' instantly pieced together a grand drama.

You Kui was oppressed in the Star Dao Sect, then the protagonist returned as a king, blazing a trail with sparks and lightning, and overturning the Star Dao Sect.

He would repeatedly slap Wang Yue, the great villain, and once Wang Yue lost his value, he would be taken out in one swoop.

Thinking this, Gu Qing said, “Continue.”

“Ye Lingtian plotted to kill my Disciple, an Immortal King Elder, and even refined their Origin. This enmity is irreconcilable.”

Miao Yue’s beautiful eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.

This was the second time the Boundless Divine Sect had suffered casualties.

The first time, they were ambushed by several Loose Cultivators and ultimately slain by Liu Ruyan.

This second time, they were lured into a grand formation by Ye Lingtian, who then gathered many Immortal Kings to besiege and kill them.

If Ye Lingtian hadn’t killed her Disciple and Elder, everything would have been fine.

She would have been happy to give You Kui Face.

However, anyone who killed a member of the Boundless Divine Sect must pay with blood.

“That’s right, Ye Lingtian, that scoundrel, must pay his blood debt.”

The women were full of rage, especially those who had shared a friendship of several millennia with the fallen Disciple; the killing intent in their eyes was almost overflowing.

They were indeed aloof, but their intent to kill was genuinely strong.

After all, having Cultivated many powerful Divine Abilities, one could not succeed without a decisive and murderous Dao Heart.

You Kui’s Face was pale.

He also knew that Ye Lingtian had touched the Boundless Divine Sect’s inverse scale, and there would be no forgiveness.

But Ye Lingtian was his Revered Master.

“Don’t meddle.”

Zuo Yuer glared at her father and said, “You’ve sought him out many times over the years, haven’t you?”

You Kui nodded almost imperceptibly.

“You’ve repeatedly urged him to join our Sect, haven’t you?” Zuo Yuer continued to ask.

You Kui nodded again.

He had indeed urged Ye Lingtian many times to let go of his hatred for Wang Yue and join the Boundless Divine Sect.

That’s right, he had learned from Ye Lingtian that it was Wang Yue who had killed his Revered Master and Senior Brother.

“You’ve said all the good things, yet he still plotted to ambush and kill our Sect’s Disciple. This shows the depth of his hatred for our Sect. We cannot accept him, and he must die.”

Zuo Yuer said sternly.

Her words made the other women nod, and their attitude towards Zuo Yuer immediately improved.

Gu Qing looked at her with surprise.

The first time he met Zuo Yuer, his impression was that she was a naive and foolish girl with no schemes, a big sucker.

She was tricked by him and the protagonist, yet still helped him and the protagonist lose money.

How had she become so smart now?

You Kui heard his daughter’s words and saw Gu Qing’s indifferent expression, and his heart turned cold.

It seemed Gu Qing had no intention of sparing Ye Lingtian, despite them both coming from the Barren Ancient Star Domain.

His last shred of hope shattered, You Kui looked at Wang Yue with resentment and sharply questioned, “My Revered Master treated you with immense kindness, and you were even engaged. Why did you resort to such a vicious act?”

At these words, everyone in the palace looked at Wang Yue in unison, their eyes filled with astonishment.

It seemed they hadn't expected Wang Yue to kill her fiancé.

Wang Yue paused, then smoothed her beautiful hair, a gentle smile on her Face, and replied in a soft voice, “He always treated me as a Junior Sister, refused to marry me, and wouldn’t break off the engagement. I could only kill him.”

Hearing this, You Kui’s mind was struck by thunder.

Honestly, he had thought of ten thousand reasons.

Most of them involved Wang Yue coveting his Revered Master’s supreme treasure, or perhaps it was due to jealousy.

He had never, however, considered such an absurd reason.

At this moment, You Kui’s brain stopped functioning; he was completely bewildered.

Not just You Kui, but everyone in the main hall was equally bewildered.

They couldn't understand why Ye Lingtian, if he didn't want to marry Wang Yue, wouldn't break off the engagement.

Everyone said Wang Yue was a pervert, but how did Ye Lingtian seem even more perverse than Wang Yue?

“Tsk, it’s a problem caused by a Junior Sister again!” Gu Qing thought to himself.

He also couldn't understand why the protagonist insisted on treating his wife as a Junior Sister.

Would he die without a Junior Sister?

“Then… then why did you kill Revered Master, Senior Sister, and Junior Sister?” You Kui’s voice trembled, as if he feared hearing an even more shocking truth, yet he had no choice but to ask.

If he didn’t get a clear answer, his Dao Heart would be flawed.

Wang Yue’s smile remained, and she softly said, “All who betray me must die.”

She spoke the cruelest words in the gentlest tone.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Although Cultivators sought unhindered Dao, exterminating one’s Sect was truly heinous.

You Kui sat back in his seat, speechless.

As a witness, he naturally understood Wang Yue’s situation back then.

Wang Yue was indeed heinous, but everything had a cause and a responsible party.

“Let’s go!”

Seeing this, Gu Qing abruptly stood up and led everyone directly towards the Star Divine Sect… within the Star Divine Sect.

A handsome young man stood in the main hall, facing a room full of Elders and Grand Elders. His eyes were resolute, and he calmly said, “What wrong have I done?”

“Bastard!”

Sect Revered Master Fu Xinghan’s beard bristled with rage, and his Aura erupted.

“Ye Lingtian, who gave you permission to kill members of the Boundless Divine Sect?”

“The Boundless Divine Sect has been hunting down our Sect’s Disciples everywhere. What’s wrong with me killing them?”

Ye Lingtian’s voice was firm. Facing Fu Xinghan’s terrifying pressure, he stood proudly, unafraid, and enunciated each word.

“How many Disciples and Elders of our Divine Sect has the Boundless Divine Sect killed over the years? Such a deep blood feud must be repaid with blood.”

“Killing a few Disciples and Elders of the Boundless Divine Sect is merely collecting some interest.”

“You, you, you… do you know you’ve caused a monstrous disaster?”

Fu Xinghan’s fingers trembled with anger, furious at his lack of concern.

“Sect Revered Master, more talk is useless. The urgent matter is to find a way to make amends.”

“That’s right, the Boundless Divine Sect is full of Prodigies, with unparalleled combat power. Since the Dao Child has touched the Boundless Divine Sect’s inverse scale, they will surely Face their furious retaliation.”

“In my opinion, it would be better to hand over Ye Lingtian to appease the Boundless Divine Sect’s wrath.”

“Yes, if Ye Lingtian doesn’t die, we will once again go to war with the Boundless Divine Sect, and by then, the casualties will be severe.”

Many Elders spoke with grave concern.

Speaking of the Boundless Divine Sect, everyone’s eyes were filled with fear; they had truly been chased to the point of terror.

They inherited the Dao lineage of the Star Saint Mother, and over countless years, they had accumulated countless Immortal Emperor Legacies.

It could be said that the Star Divine Sect was the undisputed overlord of the Eternal Universe.

Every Disciple, when placed in the outside world, was an unbeatable Prodigy.

However, when they encountered the women of the Boundless Divine Sect, they instantly became fragile.

Most of the Elders present had their Physical Bodies shattered by the Disciples or Elders of the Boundless Divine Sect and were chased like dogs.

Just thinking of the Boundless Divine Sect filled them with fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Now, they had finally restored peace with the Boundless Divine Sect, and only ten years had passed, yet Ye Lingtian had actively broken it.

Was he implying they weren’t dying fast enough?

Many people looked at Ye Lingtian with murderous eyes, coldly, and directly suggested handing him over.

And Ye Lingtian’s Senior Martial Uncle, who was Fu Xinghan, heard these words, and his expression changed erratically.

Hmm?

Everyone was stunned by this.

It was known that Fu Xinghan was very overbearing and protective, especially of Ye Lingtian.

They had all prepared to argue to the death.

If Fu Xinghan disagreed, they would pull him from the Sect Revered Master’s throne.

In short, Ye Lingtian had to die.

Because if Ye Lingtian didn’t die, they would.

What’s going on… Ye Lingtian was also stunned, staring blankly at Fu Xinghan, who had always cared for him.

Why wasn’t Fu Xinghan on his side this time?

Had he misjudged him? Was Fu Xinghan not a righteous and upright Elder? Was Fu Xinghan also afraid of the Boundless Divine Sect, and also afraid of death?

Thinking this, Ye Lingtian’s heart grew cold.

He had originally thought that returning from hunting down the Disciples and Elders of the Boundless Divine Sect this time would earn him the worship of the entire Sect and astonishing rewards.

After all, he had achieved the first kill against the Boundless Divine Sect, severely blunting their edge and avenging the Star Divine Sect.

Who would have thought that everyone in the Star Divine Sect was afraid of death? Not only would they not reward him, but they also wanted to hand him over.

It truly made his heart turn cold.
