Chapter 897: Chapter 883: Night Drink in the Bamboo Sea

“The second request is simple. I just want to know, who informed the Sun and Moon Divine Sect in advance about the deaths of Branch Tower Master Yan Cong and several tributors from our Stars Tower?”

Just as this question was raised, Jian Qianxiong wanted to argue, but Yan Wuji stopped him with a hand, “Sect Leader Jian, don’t rush to deny it!”

“Never underestimate the intelligence and IQ of Stars Tower. Regarding the complete annihilation of the branch tower high-level, the Main Building has conducted the most detailed investigation!

The investigation found that even before the people in the branch tower realized anything was wrong, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect had already taken action!

This only means one thing: either the Sun and Moon Divine Sect organized the assassination of our branch tower high-level, or the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is in contact with the assassin targeting our branch tower high-level!”

Saying this, Yan Wuji leaned forward slightly, giving a sinister smile, “Sect Leader Jian, how do you explain this to me?”

Jian Qianxiong waved dismissively, “Elder Yan, you at Stars Tower are overthinking it!

Honestly, there just happened to be an informant placed by us within your branch tower, who, by coincidence, discovered this incident first…..”

“Very good!”

Faced with Jian Qianxiong’s denial, Yan Wuji instead smiled and nodded, smiling very happily, but his expression was very sinister, “Very good, since that’s the case, under happenstance, some people will probably need to disappear from this world, hahaha!”

“Certain people?” Jian Qianxiong’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, piercing towards Yan Wuji like a sword, trying hard to discern something from Yan Wuji’s eyes.

“Yes, certain people, for example, a pretty girl, and a capable young person…..hahahaha…..” Yan Wuji laughed loudly.

Jian Qianxiong’s face instantly turned extremely ugly.

He’s not stupid; within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, the only pretty girl who could threaten Jian Qianxiong is his daughter, Fengh Qingyue!

As for the capable young person, the first person Jian Qianxiong thought of was Ye Zhen!

Almost instantly, four Talisman Communications flew out from Jian Qianxiong’s hands!

Yan Wuji, however, leisurely sipped his tea, smiling as he watched Jian Qianxiong, looking like he had everything under control.

As time ticked away, Jian Qianxiong’s forehead began to sweat uncontrollably.

He had just sent two Talisman Communications each to his daughter Fengh Qingyue and Ye Zhen, all with the same urgent content: “Extremely urgent, reply with your location immediately!”

But five to ten breaths passed, and no Talisman Communication returned!

Under normal circumstances, Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue should still be within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, receiving the Talisman Communication should take just a breath or two, and replying only needs one or two breaths. By logic, he should have received a response by now!

“Something’s happened!”

This was Jian Qianxiong’s first reaction.

After fifteen breaths, Jian Qianxiong decisively sent out more Talisman Communications, these directed to the commanders of the Sun and Moon Divine Guards and the Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, asking them to report on the recent whereabouts of Fengh Qingyue and Ye Zhen.

This reaction was swift, as a hundred breaths later, Jian Qianxiong received two Talisman Communications consecutively.

The first Sealed Talisman communication was simple; about over an hour ago, the City Lord of Red Fire Martial City, Lord Ye, and Hall Master Fengh left the Main Temple of the sect together.

Upon seeing this message, Jian Qianxiong felt slightly relieved. With Fengh Qingyue and Ye Zhen departing together, considering Ye Zhen’s terrifying combat power, even one or two Establishment Realm Kings couldn’t hold him back.

Jian Qianxiong had confidence in Ye Zhen’s capabilities.

But in the next instant, upon seeing the contents of the second Talisman Communication, Jian Qianxiong turned icy cold all over.

“Half an hour ago, City Lord Ye left the headquarters of the sect alone, his whereabouts unknown!”

The emergence of two Ye Zhens, leaving one after the other, even a fool could see something was amiss.

Instantly, cold sweat poured down Jian Qianxiong’s forehead like a waterfall.

Seeing this, Yan Wuji’s smile deepened, “Haha, Sect Leader Jian, you have half a quarter-hour to consider how to answer these two questions for me.

If they don’t receive my Talisman Communication within half a quarter-hour, the consequences will need no further elaboration!” With that, Yan Wuji sipped his now-cold tea again, as if it were a delicacy.

Jian Qianxiong’s expression suddenly turned cold, a terrifyingly intense aura began to emanate from him, unprecedented Killing Qi surged towards Yan Wuji!

Bang!

Under the impact of the Killing Qi, the teacup in Yan Wuji’s hand shattered into dust.

“Elder Yan, if you dare mess with my daughter, then this Sect Leader can’t help but take Elder Yan….”

At the same moment, Yan Wuji suddenly stood up, and his aura, along with that of the two black-clad Yama Little Ghosts behind him, exploded forth.

Three auras!

Three Establishment Realm King-level auras!

The two Yama Little Ghosts who never left Yan Wuji’s side were also Kings in the Establishment Realm.

The most critical part was, Yan Wuji’s power along with his two Yama Little Ghosts’ energy fluctuated mysteriously together, all three breathing in unison at this moment!

The moment these three auras combined, the force around them pressed Jian Qianxiong and several high-level leaders of their Divine Sect to retreat step by step!

After retreating three steps, Jian Qianxiong shouted, an invisible wave of Formation arose, and a majestic, indescribable aura abruptly merged with Jian Qianxiong, finally resisting the pressure of Yan Wuji and his forces.

“Sect Leader Jian, since I dare to come, I’m not afraid! If Sect Leader Jian has the ability to keep me here forever, I’ll accept it!

However, regardless of whether you have that ability, the plan over there will not pause for a moment!”

Having said this, Yan Wuji sat down by himself, brewing another pot of tea carefreely and sipping it again!

Jian Qianxiong’s expression turned ashen, and his hands began to tremble slightly!

This was truly an incredibly difficult, possibly even impossible, choice to make!

There’s no chance of fooling Stars Tower!

If he reveals Ye Zhen to save his daughter, then even if he rescues her, he will lose her forever!

If he betrays Ye Zhen to save Fengh Qingyue, she will never forgive him.

If he doesn’t cooperate, then his daughter and Ye Zhen might be….

In such a situation, even if he uses the Soul Artifact Sun and Moon Divine Altar to kill Yan Wuji, it would be futile. Moreover, with the confidence Yan Wuji has shown, it seems very, very difficult to kill him!

In that instant, Jian Qianxiong wished that he was the one tied up. He fell into an extreme and contradictory torment….

…..

Half an hour earlier, when Ye Zhen received the invitation Talisman Communication from Fengh Qingyue, although he was slightly surprised, he still gladly accepted.

After tensely refining artifacts for more than ten days, having a drink in the Bamboo Sea with a lady he fondly admires was surely one of life’s great pleasures.

The Lanshan Bamboo Sea is over three hundred miles away from Qinglan Martial City, but at the speed of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, it takes only about a hundred breaths to get there — very fast!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen saw the vast Bamboo Sea covering dozens of miles on the shady side of Lanshan. Under the moonlight, it was swaying gracefully, the bamboo shadows dancing as if it were the ethereal realm of the Moon Palace!

Descending from the sky, with a thought, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten shrunk to a palm size and burrowed into Ye Zhen’s arms.

Ye Zhen stepped on the rustling bamboo leaves, advancing towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

“Qingyue!”

Seeing no one around, Ye Zhen called out softly.

“I’m here!” Fengh Qingyue’s voice echoed from the depths of the bamboo forest.

Ye Zhen chuckled lightly and swiftly darted over, “Qingyue, why did you suddenly think of drinking in this Bamboo Sea tonight?”

“Don’t you think drinking in this bamboo-shadowed sea feels like being an immortal in a painting?” Fengh Qingyue’s moon-white long dress fluttered gently in the night wind.

“An immortal in a painting?”

“Indeed so!”

Ye Zhen responded and casually laughed, “Where’s the wine?”

“Why the rush?”

With a glance, Fengh Qingyue set up a delicate small table and brought out a jar of aged wine!

“Qingye Inn’s Century-old Intoxication, how about this wine?”

Fengh Qingyue gently popped open the mud seal, immediately releasing a tantalizing aroma of wine, and with a flip of her hand, two exquisite jade cups appeared on the small table.

Looking at this jar of Century-old Intoxication and the two delicate jade cups, a hint of imperceptible doubt flashed in Ye Zhen’s eyes.

Something’s off!

The situation today felt very off!

This jar of Century-old Intoxication and two jade cups completely stirred up the suspicions Ye Zhen had previously suppressed.

Whenever Fengh Qingyue drank with him, it was always the Eighteen Spirit Brew. Drinking? When did they ever use these throat-moistening jade cups?

They always used bowls to drink!

Moreover, Fengh Qingyue knew Ye Zhen’s habits; he needed dishes with his drinks!

Therefore, whenever Fengh Qingyue drank with Ye Zhen, she always prepared some tasteful side dishes in advance.

But none of this appeared today.

Especially these small details, they were private matters between Fengh Qingyue and Ye Zhen, something that no one else could possibly know.

Most importantly, this Fengh Qingyue before his eyes, even down to the scent she emanated, was identical to Fengh Qingyue, but from the moment Ye Zhen arrived until now, she had only shown him her profile, never her full face.

While Ye Zhen was filled with doubt, with a thought, he immediately entered the Sword Heart Enlightenment state!

The moment he entered Sword Heart Enlightenment, a flash of Evil Qi appeared in Ye Zhen’s eyes!

At this moment, the ‘Fengh Qingyue’ before him had already poured the wine, holding up a cup delicately and offering it to Ye Zhen, “Drinking by the Bamboo Sea at night, please!”

Ye Zhen took the cup without a hint of emotion, but did not drink, staring straight at this ‘Fengh Qingyue’ before him!

This look made the ‘Fengh Qingyue’ in front of him freeze, the script hadn’t gone this way, at this moment, the other party should have downed the drink in one go.

Trying again, ‘Fengh Qingyue’ raised her cup, “Please!” At the same time, her eyes sneaked a glance at Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen secretly sneered, stepping forward lightly, warmly wrapping an arm around ‘Fengh Qingyue,’ “Come, Qingyue, let’s drink together!”

A flash of tension appeared on ‘Fengh Qingyue’s’ face, her slender waist turning a bit rigid, but she still responded, “Okay!”

“Cheers!”

However, though speaking of cheers, ‘Fengh Qingyue’ made no move to drink.

Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on Ye Zhen’s face, “If you won’t drink, I’ll help you drink!”

With a flick of his fingers, the wine in the cup shot out, like a water arrow, racing towards ‘Fengh Qingyue’s’ lips!

‘Fengh Qingyue’ was utterly shocked, instinctively closing her mouth!

But she underestimated Ye Zhen’s determination; before she could shut her mouth, the wine arrow had already entered it. At the same time, Ye Zhen’s palm pressed against her throat, and with a gulp, the wine was swallowed down.

‘Fengh Shenyue’s’ expression immediately turned pale, filled with incredible shock!

“Damn, he found out, force it, activate the formation!” At that instant, a stern shout erupted from the perimeter, and in a flash, everything turned into a white mist! (To be continued.
