My Disciple Died Yet Again Chapter 328-332

Chapter 328: Female Lead's Night Assault

In a blink of an eye, the fury, darkness and tyrannical aura exuding from Fa Yu's body retracted completely. Even his pair of reddened eyes had begun to clear up and sparkle. He anxiously sprinted over to hold Ling Tian girly, his eyes were filled with unease.

"Tiantian, is it you? You're still here?" He carefully held up Ling Tian girly. He seemed to be overly anxious, as even his hands were trembling. "Your soul wasn't taken over!"

"Little Yu…" Ling Tian looked at him dazedly, and then grabbed onto him in return. "I didn't harm that lady with the surname Fan, she's not…"

"I know." Unexpectedly, Fa Yu actually did not refute her, and was nodding his head strongly instead. Frowning, as though he had just recalled something, his face began to contort darkly. "With that face of hers alone, she dares to say that it's on par to yours. I simply wish to puke from her ugliness! She even dares to spout that you're twins given birth by the same mother! Does she really think everyone is blind? To think an indecent woman with loose morals actually dares to covet the position of Sect Master of Spirit Heaven Palace!"

Eh?

What happened to the promised brain-dead fanatic of the female lead? There's something wrong with this opening sequence!

"Tiantian, don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. I will aid you in recovering the position of Sect Master." Fa Yu immediately turned back his head towards her, reverting back to that youth with clear eyes as he guaranteed with a serious look.

"Then, earlier…" Ling Tian girly was stunned as well.

"Though Fan Zhishan alone isn't to be feared, the forces she has behind her are complicated, it would be unwise to fight them head-on. Those words of mine earlier… I simply wished to gain her trust, please… don't be angry." Fa Yu explained. Recalling everything that happened in the hall earlier, his face once again revealed a disgusted expression, as though he had eaten a housefly.

This development was happening too quickly, as if a tornado had descended. To think this Fa Yu was actually a double agent!

"Oh right, how are you? You're not injured from earlier, right?" Fa Yu anxiously held onto Ling Tian girly and began to inspect her. He pulled here, and then glanced over there. After realizing that she was clean without a scratch, he then heaved a sigh of relief. Immediately after, as though he had just recalled his improper actions, he hurriedly took a step back. "Tiantian… I'm… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…" His ears were beginning to dye in red, acting as though he was at a loss.

Ling Tian girly laughed, the suspicions she carried in the depths of her heart were put down right after. She looked at the person in front of her with blurry and teary eyes. While sobbing, she said. "Little Yu… You're still my Little Yu alright."

Fa Yu raised his head, and looked straight into the depths of her eyes. Their eyes met, as though the interaction. "I've always been."

Zhu Yao, who was still squatting within the Dantian, was shown a face of true love… Master, where are you?

Presently, a certain master who had been keeping watch near the Heavenly Door for a very long time: Why isn't my disciple here yet?

Ling Tian girly explained to Fa Yu everything that happened. She heavily emphasized that Zhu Yao was not here to harm her, nor to take over her soul and body, and that she was one of their party members. Fa Yu frowned, but he still accepted the girl's explanation in the end.

Zhu Yao actually suspected Fa Yu in the beginning. This person changed too quickly, after all. Earlier, he was still a brain-dead fanatic of Fan Zhishan, and an instant later, he became Ling Tian girly's loyal follower.

However, as they conversed, these suspicions slowly disappeared. The eyes he were looking at the girl now with, were completely different from earlier where he was looking at Fan Zhishan. Though they both carried colours of infatuation, his gaze on Ling Tian girly was much purer. It was as if the girl was the only one in his eyes, and the rest of the world was filtered off.

Let's not forget about his careful attitude. He was afraid of bumping into and touching her, and though he wanted to lean closer, he was afraid that it would make her displeased. He was so uneasy and fidgety like a young fellow who on his first love. Even those small unconscious movements were hidden with incredible worry and unease. If he was actually acting all this out, then his acting skills were simply superb. Most likely, he would have even fooled himself.

Because she saw through these, she did not stop Ling Tian girly from explaining everything.

The girl explained to Fa Yu a little more, before returning to the Dantian, returning the body to Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao's vision flashed, and Fa Yu who was still behind the screen earlier, was now right before her eyes. He was presently carefully holding onto her hand, his handsome face carried a shy smile, and his eyes were so focused it looked as if he was looking at the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Zhu Yao instantly felt chills climbing down her spine. She wondered if it was possible to become allergic to display of true love?

"Hi, Little Yu!" Zhu Yao smiled awkwardly. "Hello, I'm Ma Liang."

The gentleness and sweetness that filled his face instantly disappeared with a swoosh. He once again carried that cold and numb look, and almost at the same instant, he raised his hand and flung her away.

As Zhu Yao did not balance herself well, she instantly fell off the chair, and her face was covered in soot.

The hell! The difference in treatment is simply too great, don't you think!?

"I don't know where you came from, you wandering ghost." Fa Yu coldly glared at her, as he pulled out a handkerchief and desperately wiped the hand he touched her with earlier. It was as if he had made contact with something dirty. "But I'm warning you. If you dare to mistreat her, or dare to think of devouring her soul, I will never forgive you!"

Zhu Yao rubbed her aching hand as she sat up. This person seriously changed his attitude very quickly. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in your childhood friend's body!" As she said that, she could not help but lower her head and look at the 36E chest… Alright, she was a little interested.

"It best be that way!" Fa Yu coldly snorted, his eyes were as cold as ice itself. Not a trace of the cautiousness and anxiety he had earlier when facing Ling Tian girly could be seen, and expression he now had was filled with the looks of a cool tyrant. "For these few days, be good and stay here. Once I shoo away that trash with the surname Fan, I will naturally let you out."

"…" Trash? Wasn't he calling her little sister Fan in an intimate manner earlier?

Fa Yu seemed to have recalled that incident as well, as he looked as though he had just ate cow dung and was rubbing his hand with the handkerchief even more forcefully than before. With a cold tone, he continued. "That woman with the surname Fan is very strange. In just fifty years, she was able to nourish her Nascent Soul. She definitely made use of some abnormal methods. Her desire to bring Tiantian back to Spirit Heaven Palace definitely isn't simply because of the Sect Master's position."

His words were sound. Earlier, Zhu Yao had thought of this point as well.

"Her body is enhanced by a unique mystical energy." He frowned as his expression sank. "That mystical energy is actually capable of influencing the circulation of the surrounding spiritual energy. The higher one's cultivation level is, the easier one would be affected."

"You're saying that all the men by her side are being controlled because of that reason?" Zhu Yao was stunned. She felt as if she had just unlocked a hidden scenario.

Fa Yu gave her a "it seems you're not that stupid, and is a little better than trash' look. "This mystic power is similar to the charming arts of heretic practitioners. It is capable of confusing one's mind and heart, yet it doesn't carry any evil aura which made it hard for others to sense it. Furthermore, it seems like she is born with this passive mystic power… as there are no traces of spiritual energy being manipulated due to that power itself."

Zhu Yao suddenly recalled her past encounter with Yi Ling. It seemed as though all of the men she encountered with, all developed fond feelings of her. Even with Sesame took up a human form, he was unable to resist it. In the beginning, Zhu Yao had thought that it was just the cheat of a main lead. Now that she thought about it, what if the cheats of these main leads could be trained?

Did Fan Zhishan possess such powers as well? However, in the scenario Zhu Yao saw, the men in her harem did not love her at first sight, and instead only developed fond feelings of her after several interactions over a long period of time. Only after that, did those feelings become extreme to the point of taking their own lives if doing so was the only way to save her. However, from Fa Yu's words, these people were influenced by that unique mystical power from her body. It certainly sounded plausible if their feelings were to have grown deeper only after being influenced by it over a long time.

After all, as long as one was a practitioner, he would carry pride that was somewhat larger than a mere mortal, how could he possibly be willing to share a wife with other men? Furthermore, they were actually able to coexist peacefully. This was simply too irrational. Not to mention there was a tenth rank demonic beast among them. Putting aside the stubbornness demonic beasts had in monopolizing their own partners, the reason why Yi Ling became a bug back then, was because she incurred the wrath of a demonic beast, didn't she?

Fa Yu coldly laughed. His hands clenched tightly as he said with a dark and cold voice. "With that measly status of his, Cao Qi actually dares to touch my woman. It's about time for them to suffer some of the consequences, otherwise they will truly think that I, Qiong Yu, am afraid of them!"

Why did Zhu Yao feel as though some people were about to go bankrupt.

"I will deal with disgusting woman sooner or later." Fa Yu said in a tyrannical manner, and his voice instantly turned cold. He turned to look at Zhu Yao. "Within this period of time, you best know your place and do not harbour any evil thoughts. Otherwise, I will not forgive you either."

"Uh…" What happened to Ling Tian's promise of being friends with me?

"Understand?"

"Understood, chairman! No problem, chairman!"

Fa Yu coldly snorted as he gave her a 'at least you know you're sensible' look. With a swing of his sleeves, he walked out in big steps. Tyrannical, cool, overbearing, it was as if these words were written all over his body.

Zhu Yao: "…"

"Saintess…" Ling Tian's voice once again resounded. "See, didn't I tell you? Isn't Little Yu really cute?"

Cute, my ass! -flips table- He's clearly really scary, alright?

Ling Tian girly, why call me over when you already have such a tyrannical and loyal childhood friend? So that I can watch you two go at it?

On that night, Zhu Yao finally understood the reason she was here. It was all in order to defend against the female lead's night assault!

While she was meditating, she suddenly felt a light breeze. The prison gate that was formed by a light pillar above a formation, suddenly disappeared. She looked the empty prison entrance in front of her for several minutes, as she silently sat on the ground, unmoving.

After an hour, as though she could not bear it any longer, a human figure appeared at the door.

"So it's you." Zhu Yao waved her hand.

Fan Zhishan looked at her with a cold expression, not a trace of the frailness from before could be seen. "Why didn't you leave?"

Zhu Yao rolled her eyes. "Clearly, someone is trying to lure me out by opening the prison gate so suddenly. Do you think I'm stupid? Like I would send myself out even after knowing this." This was clearly saying, 'Hurry and come out, I have a wolf's den over here.' A brain-dead scenario like this had already been played out several times in movies, alright? There definitely wasn't going to be any good outcome from leaving.

"You're rather smart, at the least" Fan Zhishan coldly laughed. "It's no wonder you bear such incredible luck."

"Luck? What do you mean?"

"Hmph…" Fan Zhishan did not have the intentions to explain. She stared straight at Zhu Yao, with eyes that looked as though someone had found an oasis after desiring it for a very long time. Her eyes were glowing fiery red, filled with immense greed, as she broke out into wild laughter. "Unfortunately, everything is about to be mine soon." As long as I have this, no one will be my match. "Well, since you aren't willing to come out, it doesn't matter what I do it."

Chapter 329: Spewing All Over Your Face

As she said that, she summoned a few chains of light and came charging over. From what she was doing, she did not seem like she was trying to kill Zhu Yao, but snatch something from her?

Zhu Yao did not move and simply watch her flying towards her. However, when she was left with just an inch away from Zhu Yao, she crashed into something with a "dong", and could not move a step further.

"What is this?" Fan Zhishan pushed the air in front of her, realizing that something transparent was blocking her. A formation? No, there wasn't any flow of spiritual energy in the surroundings, and there were only faint traces of spiritual energy in the air here in the first place. A formation being erected here was impossible.

Zhu Yao glanced at the few wobbly words on the ground – Invincible Wall. She silently gave a thumbs up to the Magical Brush. She just loved cheat equipment the best!

"You are actually capable of summoning such a mystical barrier." Fan Zhishan could not enter, yet not only did she not get angry, the flames in her eyes burned even brighter. "Wonderful! Incredibly wonderful!" It was as if she was on steroids, as she looked at Zhu Yao even more fervently than before. Her eyes were sparkling with incredible light.

Zhu Yao frowned. She felt that there was something strange with her expression.

Fan Zhishan however began to cast an art, summoning a large fireball in an attempt to burn away the layer of obstruction. However, it was useless. She then summoned icicles, earth spikes, vines… She used all five types of mystic arts, yet she was unable to break through at all either.

Her expression turned from shock, to greed, and finally, to unsuppressable excitement. Suddenly, she stopped all her actions, and with an incredibly deep smile, she said. "Do you think by hiding inside here, I will be all out of options?"

She raised her hand and red light instantly flashed. A red glow emitted out from all around Fan Zhishan, as if something was slowly seeping out of her body. A moment later, a 'B' popped out. Then, a 'U', and then, a 'G'. Slowly, they gathered in the palm of her hand, forming an enormous sickle-shaped… BUG!

"…"

Why a bug!? -faints- Was the female lead's body made up of codes? They were in complete English too!

With a complacent smile, she strongly swung down the 'BUG' in her hand. Ma Liang brand's barrier instantly made a crackling sound as a large hole broken open. Zhu Yao was almost smashed in the face by the 'B' of the 'BUG' sickle.

The hell? What happened to the promised 'invincible'?

Zhu Yao hurriedly retreated at full speed in order to dodge her attack. She faintly felt something had been chipped off by her side, as a cracking sound resounded. She did not have time to ponder as she slammed her palm onto the ground, and earth thorns began to charge straight towards the female lead.

The entire prison emitted out a large boom. Fan Zhishan simply shifted her body to the side to dodge them. After all, she was a Nascent Soul practitioner, while Zhu Yao was merely a Foundation trash. She was not her match at all! With just a wave of her hand, the earth thorns had all turned into ashes.

This was the moment she was waiting for!

Zhu Yao cast an art with her two hands, circulating the spiritual energy in her body. In an instant, a metal-type mystic art was activated. The crumbled earth that had just turned into ashes earlier instantly formed metal-like thorns, and they flew towards Fan Zhishan in a overwhelming manner. Because she had just shattered all of the earth thorns earlier, her surroundings was filled with ashes. Now that they had suddenly turned into metal thorns, Fan Zhishan simply did not have anywhere to dodge, and even a scratch was made on her body when one of the thorns flew across her.

However, in the end, she was a Nascent Soul practitioner. With just her will, a defensive barrier was summoned, blocking the attacks that were coming from all directions without a single exception. She coldly laughed. "Hmph. With just this much, you still think of…"

Eh, where did she go?

When she reacted, Zhu Yao had already flown out of the prison. The hell, who wants to fight with her? Clearly, we are standing on different levels, so naturally we have to run off as fast as possible.

Zhu Yao flew very quickly, reaching the exit of the prison in an instant. However, Fan Zhishan was even faster. Before Zhu Yao could even leave Grandhall Sect, a figure flashed before her eyes, and Fan Zhishan was already blocking her way. She had a sarcastic smile on her face, as if she was mocking Zhu Yao for her overestimating herself.

"Little Sister Fan!?" Fa Yu's voice of utter disbelief suddenly resounded, and Fan Zhishan instantly stiffened. On the other hand, Zhu Yao heaved a sigh of relief. He's finally here.

"You… What are you?" Fa Yu looked at Zhu Yao, and then looked at Fan Zhishan. A heart-aching expression instantly surfaced. "Little Sister Fan… As expected, you still wish to save her, to the extent of breaking into the prison itself!"

Fan Zhishan's expression changed several times, before immediately restoring that frail and stubborn look she had before. With a bitter-looking face, she looked towards Fa Yu. "She's… after all my elder sister!"

When Fa Yu heard this, he grew even sadder, looking as though he did not manage to live up to her expectations. Even his body began to tremble a little. "I merely wanted to help stand up for you. If you do not wish to take her life, then tell me so and I will make the promise. Why go through the trouble of stowing her away? Am I someone that's not worth your trust?"

"Big brother Fa Yu…" Fan Zhishan stiffened for a moment. She was truly beginning to grow a little anxious. "You misunderstood, I'm not…"

"No need for further words!" Fa Yu raised his hand to stop her. He powerlessly hanged his shoulders, as if he was submerged in intense pain. If not because she had seen how Fa Yu looked when he was facing Ling Tian, Zhu Yao would have truly believed that he was depressed from being misunderstood by the person he loved. "I have known for a long time that I have never held a place in your heart… I… I just wish to help you do something, no matter how small it may be, so that I can treat you even a little bit better. Are you telling me, I can't even do that?"

"…" Fan Zhishan was dumbfounded. This time, she was truly troubled. Her night assault was definitely something she had planned on her own. However, she never expected that after a short exchange of blows, she would actually lure Fa Yu. Furthermore, he even believed that she had snuck in to save the prisoner.

On one hand, Fan Zhishan was worried that her plan would be exposed, so she had no choice but to admit that she was here to save her elder sister because of the deep sisterly love she supposedly harboured.

On the other hand, Fa Yu was actually here to save the Ling Tian for real, and was intentionally acting as an infatuated follower whose good intentions were trampled.

Zhu Yao glanced at the two Oscar winners in front of her. Uh… Should I chime in too?

"Big brother Fa Yu, I don't mean it that way." In the end, the female lead could not let go of the image she had built for so many years, as she attempted to calm the flames within Fa Yu.

"Enough!" Fa Yu let out a long sigh. "This Fa Yu simply do not have the fate to be with you…" He looked at the female lead with a pained expression. "Return to Spirit Heaven Palace. I will stop being so thick-skinned to keep you here."

"Big brother Fa Yu…"

"Go!" He roared out, looking as though he had just made a difficult decision. "Don't come here anymore."

Fa Zhishan stiffened, her eyes swam towards Zhu Yao at the side. Just as she was about to speak up, Fa Yu suddenly said.

"As for Ling Tian…" His expression turned cold and he said with a heavy tone. "Just treat it as the final thing that I will do for you. I will never give her the opportunity to harm you."

As he said that, he suddenly waved his arm. A chain instantly struck onto Zhu Yao.

The hell! Before Zhu Yao could even dodge, she was wrapped. She deliberately struggled a little and even cussed out a few times, coordinating with the two Oscar winners. She had no choice. Life is an act, and everything is dependent on one's acting skills!

"Shut up!" Fa Yu simply gave her a slap. With a resounding smack, Zhu Yao was slammed onto the ground, crashing into the prison below.

With a loud boom, a large crater was blasted open.

Zhu Yao could still hear his words that carried deep affection along with despair. "Little sister Fan, leave. Stop making it so painful for me…"

I really want to award him with the Best Actor award, what to do!?

A moment later, she could no longer hear any movements above. Only then did Zhu Yao finally crawl up from the crater.

Raising her head, she looked at Fa Yu, who was looking into the distance with a painful expression. The rays from the sunset shone onto his body with indescribable loneliness, coincidentally striking at the perfect angle for an infatuated supporting male lead. 'Acting' was all that could be felt from his entire body!

In the next moment, he flew down. All of his previous emotions had receded, and he was now giving Zhu Yao a pair of dead fish eyes. "Hey, are you dead yet?"

The hell! So my treatment was not an act!?

Zhu Yao shook off the dust from her body and stood up. She slapped off the shattered defensive artifact in front of her chest, and rolled her eyes back at him.

He had indeed used all of his strength in that slap earlier. Forget about a Foundation disciple, even an Azoth Core practitioner would not have been able to take that slap. However, at the moment he was about to hit her, he placed a defensive artifact on her which directly blocked against all damage. It looked as if she had died of certain, but other than having a mouth full of dirt, there wasn't a single injury on her.

Zhu Yao seemed to have understood his intentions right away, and thus had immediately retracted all of her aura, along with her consciousness, deep into her Dantian where Ling Tian was. Thus, she successfully played dead!

"Your acting is pretty good, young man!" Zhu Yao habitually reached out to pat his shoulder.

She did not expect that he would suddenly shift his body to the side to evade her, causing her hand to pat on air, and she was this close to stumbling onto the ground.

"Don't touch me. Disgusting."

"…" The hell. Your despise for me is too obvious, don't you think!? We're already teammates right now, you know? "Hmph. Earlier, you were still clinging onto little sister Fan and not letting go of her. I didn't see you feel disgusted by that though?"

His face instantly distorted, looking as though he had just ate shit. Cusses came thundering down the moment he opened his mouth. "If not because Tiantian was in danger, do you think this daddy would approach a woman like her who is as dirty as a toilet stool? This daddy can smell the disgusting stench of a trash like her from three hundred kilometers away! If I were to throw someone like her into the toilet, I would be afraid of staining someone else's shit! She's cancer when alive, and I'm even afraid that she would spread that disease of hers to the other ghosts when she's dead! She dirties the earth spiritual energy when she's walking, she dirties the water spiritual energy when she's drinking water, she dirties the metal spiritual energy when she's practicing her sword arts, she dirties the fire spiritual energy when she's lighting up a fire, and if she were to sleep on a wooden bed, even the wood spiritual energy would despise her, alright? Just by living in the same realm as her, this daddy feels that bad odour is all this daddy is breathing in…"

He was full of hot air with endless cusses to throw.

"…" Zhu Yao was dumbfounded the longer she listened to him. Thank you for simply despising me for being disgusting! What's with this feeling of striking the top prize in the lottery?

Ling Tian girly, are you sure you're not blind?

Fa Yu cussed at Fan Zhishan for two whole hours, and there was never once did he repeat the same cuss. His cusses were brilliant, enough to awe the masses of both in the past and present eras. If Fan Zhishan was present to hear all his cusses, either she would directly die from anger, or she would feel that she was mistreating her own ears.

Only when the sun was disappearing in the horizon, did Fa Yu finally wave his arm and say. "I'm going to drink some water!" He finally stopped that slow, unceasing chain of cusses.

Zhu Yao had a darkened expression. She had no choice but to follow after him, but she was quietly maintaining a three meters distance from him, afraid that his spit would land on her.

Chapter 330: I Can Read

Fa Yu gulped down three cups of water, before he was finally able to calm down and heave a long sigh. When Zhu Yao thought that he was about to continue cussing, he suddenly turned his around and looked at her with a 'you trash' expression. With a cold tone, he said. "That trash will succeed the Sect Master position three days later."

"Eh?" What trash? This change in topic came too abruptly, give her some buffer time to calm down.

"I don't know what method that trash used either. She was actually able to awaken the Spirit Guiding Beast." Fa Yu said with a cold look.

By 'trash', he was referring to the female lead. The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, and she then modestly inquired. "What's the Spirit Guiding Beast?"

Was it a demonic beast? She had never heard of the existence of a demonic beast like that.

"The Spirit Guiding Beast is the guardian beast of Spirit Heaven Palace." Fa Yu threw a "are you an idiot?" glance. "It's born as a ninth rank, and after maturing, it can advance into the tenth rank. As long as it goes through the lightning tribulation after that, it can ascend to the Higher Realm. The Spirit Guiding Beast can only be awakened by every generation of the Spirit Heaven Palace Sect Masters, and they will only form contracts with the Sect Masters."

"Ling Tian isn't able to awaken the Spirit Guiding Beast?" Zhu Yao asked.

"How is that possible!?" Fa Yu glared at her. "Tiantian is the true Sect Master of Spirit Heaven Palace. However, the Spirit Guiding Beast lives in the Heaven Profound Cave, and it will only break out of its shell in a hundred years. When Tiantian was in Spirit Heaven Palace, that beast was still in its egg! It's not even close to day of hatching yet, so naturally it shouldn't be awakened by force. Who knows just what method that trash used to make the Spirit Guiding Beast break out of its shell prematurely."

Just what was going on here? Zhu Yao naturally did not suspect Ling Tian's identity, otherwise the world wouldn't collapse after her death in the scenario she was showed. She was worried about what the female lead was after.

"My Tiantian is the true Sect Master of Spirit Heaven Palace, the true daughter of fate! The hell is that trash!?" Fa Yu said matter-of-factly. As though he had a recalled some beautiful memories, he muttered in a fragmented manner. "Back then, when my Tiantian arrived at Spirit Heaven Palace for the first time, I knew she was the best in the world. How could any other trash be compared to her? If the other trash wants to act as a cushion for my feet, I would feel my feet would be stained, you hear me? The position of the Spirit Heaven Palace Sect Master? She deserves the best in this world, of course. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for me to be considerate by damaging my own cultivation to grow up with her. If not because I had to shut the mouths of those old geezers and prove that I'm worthy of her, would I have left her and come to a stupid place like this Grandhall Sect to become a Sect Master or whatever? This man here only wants to protect, safeguard, and watch her every single day…"

Zhu Yao silently turned her head away. She seemed to have just listened to something incredible.

His complaints came to an abrupt halt, and he suddenly turned to look at Zhu Yao, as though he had just recalled that she was just by his side. 'Oh. Shit.' was all over Zhu Yao's face.

"You…" He gave her a death glare, killing intent surged out of him like a hurricane as he warned. "… are not allowed to tell Tiantian, otherwise, you will get what's coming to you!"

"Yes, President! No problem, President! Even if you beat me to death, I won't let it slip!" Zhu Yao immediately swore an oath. I won't tell the girly about how you're secretly in love with her and how you planned an entire loli-raising plan since you were young. "But…"

"What?" His killing intent grew heavier.

"Umm… Ling Tian girly seemed to have been listening to our conversation the entire time!"

"…"

The cool and tyrannical President Fa instantly turned into an exploded tomato, with his face turning completely red. In the next instant, as though he was a fleeing soldier, he charged out of the door. As though there was a ghost chasing after him from behind, he even accidentally tripped over the door sill and smacked onto the ground. However, he then immediately crawled up and ran far away, till his figure could no longer be seen.

"…" What happened to the promise of letting me get what's coming to me?

A long while later…

Ling Tian: "Little Yu is so cute…"

Zhu Yao: "…"

Hey, which part of that was cute? I only see a huge pervert, alright? For his loli-raising plan, he damaged his own cultivation to become a child so that he could play the role of a childhood friend. That's simply too heavy a taste, alright?

It was no wonder Ling Tian was just at the Foundation stage, while Fa Yu was already at the Nascent Soul stage. Him being a childhood friend was just a roleplay.

Ever since Fa Yu found out that Ling Tian girly was an audience to every single one of his conversations with Zhu Yao, he grew uncomfortable. Probably due to awkwardness or whatever, he did not appear for two consecutive days. Because of her status as the former Sect Master of Spirit Heaven Palace, she could not casually wander about either, and had no choice but to stay in the house from before in order to prevent getting exposed.

On the third day, Fa Yu appeared with a perturbed look. However, rather than the expression he had as if he was looking at dirt when facing Zhu Yao, it was much normal than before… No, it was incredibly more so than before.

"Tiantian…" He looked at her sheepishly with a tensed expression. "Are you angry at me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm Ma Liang!" Zhu Yao raised her hand.

His expression stiffened, but he immediately grew his gentle smile back. It was as if flowers had bloomed within his eyes. "Lady Ma, I'm sorry. My attitude towards you in the past few days was bad. I apologize."

Yo, is the Sun rising from the west now? This pervert with a poisonous tongue has such a drastic change in attitude! Also, the hell is Lady Ma?

"You are here to help Tiantian, so you're considered as a benefactor of ours. I should be thanking you." He said with a sincere look. Suddenly, he took out a bottle from his side, and passed it ot her. "Back then, I didn't hold back myself well, so I don't know if I have injured milady. I hope this healing sacred medicine is enough to express my goodwill."

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She stared at the bottle he was passing to her, but did not reach out to grab it.

"Are you certain it's a healing sacred medicine?"

His smile was filled with pure sincerity. "Of course. This is the best healing sacred medicine in Grandhall Sect."

"Then why is the three words 'Soul Extracting Soup' labelled on it?" Are you treating me as blind!?

Fa Yu's smile retracted. "Tch." He had forgotten to tear it off!

In an instant, he returned to the numbed expression from before. The changes in his expressions were like flipping through a book.

"…" The hell, this bastard is definitely doing this on purpose, right? He's trying to make me leave Ling Tian girly's body, isn't he?

Realizing that he had been exposed, Fa Yu was no longer interested in continuing his act. "Hey, wear this!" With a wave of his hand, he threw over an item.

Zhu Yao grabbed it on reflex, and realized it was a bracelet. The bracelet was covered with large number of formations, and the spiritual energy it was exuding was incredible. It was a seventh rank mystic artifact. When she wore it, a circle of light instantly swept across her entire body.

"This mystic artifact can conceal your looks." Fa Yu explained impatiently. "Demigod Sovereigns might not be able to see through it either."

Zhu Yao summoned a water mirror with a wave of her hand. As he had said, her looks had changed. Her facial features now leaned closer to average, belonging to the type which, if she was thrown into a crowd of people, she would not be easily recognized by others.

"What's the catch behind this?" Fa Yu would not give her something like this for no reason.

"Tomorrow, that trash will summon the various clans and sects to bear witness to her officially becoming the Sect Master of Spirit Heaven Palace." Fa Yu rolled his eyes, his face was filled with scorn. However, compared to before, his attitude was much better. Back then, the eyes he looked at her with had always been: You disgusting slug. Now, when looking at her, he first asked if Ling Tian was watching through his eyes, and then he changed his eyes into: You slug.

Though both slugs, she was now no longer disgusting. Mn, Zhu Yao was a person that was content with just what she had.

"Though Cao Qi came up with the excuse of twins, those old geezers of Spirit Heaven Palace aren't stupid either. They are definitely aware that though the trash is able to awaken the Spirit Guiding Beast, it might not definitely take her as its owner. If we want to take back the position of Sect Master, we have to make use of this opportunity."

"You're thinking of having Ling Tian return to take in that Spirit Guiding Beast, in order to prove her identity?"

"Mn."

This was indeed a good opportunity. Now that Fan Zhishan believed that Ling Tian was already dead, she definitely would not set up much defenses. Furthermore, she definitely would not have guessed that Ling Tian would be so daring to charge back in. However…

"If you do such a thing, it's akin to breaking off from Fan Zhishan. You must be aware that she was born in the first-rate deity sect – Sleipoup Sect. She has still many people backing her up. Spirit Heaven Palace is just a small part of her forces. If she were to turn back and attack Grandhall Sect…"

"We can talk about future matters in the future. Tiantian must not be sullied by her for nothing!" Fa Yu frowned, and he said with a furious look. "If she were to truly become the Sect Master of Spirit Heaven Palace, Tiantian will have nowhere to stay in the future either."

Zhu Yao did not persuade any further. Sure, hiding was good and all, but why not declare a fallout with her in the open? At the very least, by doing so, Fan Zhishan would not be able to make her move openly for a short period of time.

In the early morning of the second day, Fa Yu brought a large number of disciples to Spirit Heaven Palace. He intentionally picked out a portion of the disciples from various levels, including those with Essence and Foundation cultivation levels, and Zhu Yao was mixed among the Foundation disciples. With a total of thirty or so people, it seemed sufficient enough to sustain the face of Spirit Heaven Palace.

When they arrived at Spirit Heaven Palace, they were welcomed by Cao Qi. This was the first time Zhu Yao met nth member Cao Qi, and she had to admit that he had good looks. With mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level, he looked like a true gentleman. With utmost courtesy, he led Fa Yu into the inner hall.

Because Zhu Yao's status was insufficient, she could only follow the rest of the disciples and stand by outside the hall. She then sized up Spirit Heaven Palace. Similar to the other deity sects, Spirit Heaven Palace was built upon several floating mountains. The place Ling Tian lived was the main mountain the very center, but it was not the largest one. Not far in front of her, there was a floating mountain that was even larger than the main mountain. However, compared to the cave residences here that were abundant in spiritual energy, the spiritual energy there was so dense, the mountain was surrounded in condensed wisps of spiritual energy, yet not a single human presence could be felt there. Zhu Yao felt this was a little strange. Generally speaking, that place had much thicker spiritual energy, so why wasn't the main mountain built there, but build it in the present location it was in?

This doubt flashed past her mind, however, she did not dwell in it much further. She could not help but raised her head and look at a cloudy place in the sky. She could faintly see the shadow of a pagoda. That was the cave residence of the Spirit Heaven Palace Sect Master. It possessed the densest spiritual energy, and it was also the place she first woke up in.

"Sovereign Pi Shi of Sleipoup Sect has arrived!" Following after the passing of the message, someone flew over from afar. His body was exuding incredible radiance. Dressed in blue robes and bearing a straight back, he was filled with endless magmanity.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. This person carried his own lighting special effects during his own entrance. It seemed like this was Fan Zhishan's first member – the female lead's master. It would have been incredibly shocking, if not for half of the lighting going missing. As if it was blocked by something.

Eh, wait a minute!? Just what in the world was that radiance?

Zhu Yao took a closer look, and the light exuding from Sovereign Pi Shi disappeared again. Was this an illusion caused by the Sun?

When she finally regained her senses, that person had already landed on the ground. The various clans and sects, that had come to participate in this succession, moved over to welcome him, and gave Sovereign Pi Shi their respects and greetings.

Chapter 331: Contracting the Spirit Guiding Beast

Pi Shi nodded. A joyous cry suddenly sounded from the sky. "Master!"

Fan Zhishan came flying down from above, and then she walked towards Pi Shi with hurried steps. With slight astonishment and shyness, she said. "Why are you here?"

"How can your master not be present for your succession ceremony?" Pi Shi however had a serious look.

"Thank you, master." Fan Zhishan looked at him lovingly, and then turned to look at the masses from the various sects. She courteously welcomed them, and then led everyone into the hall.

Pi Shi was walking at the very front while Fan Zhishan was following closely behind. Just as she was about to step into the hall, for some reason, her eyes swept towards Zhu Yao's direction. With widened eyes, she suddenly stopped her feet.

Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad premonition about this.

"What's wrong?" Pi Shi was the first to realize his disciple's weird behaviour. He followed her gaze and spotted Zhu Yao not far away. While carrying a slight unpleasant look, he released a short probing divine sense.

The hell, she couldn't have been exposed, right!? Zhu Yao instinctively held onto the mystic artifact in her hands, suppressing the anxiety in the depths of her heart as she stood still with her usual expression.

"It's nothing. I simply spotted a disciple that I seemed to be really fated with." Fan Zhishan lightly replied, a gentle smile surfaced from the corners of her lips as she walked straight towards Zhu Yao. "This little sister, I like you really much the moment I saw you. I wonder which sect are you from? Are you willing to take me as your master?"

"Ah!?"

Not just Zhu Yao, everyone present felt that things had taken a strange turn. Wasn't this a succession ceremony? Why did she suddenly want to take in a disciple? Furthermore, the other party was a disciple from another sect!

However, she simply chuckled and said with a harmonious smile. "Don't be afraid. We practitioners have always relied on fate. We can be said to be fated to encounter each other today. I really like you and want to take you under my wing as my personal succeeding disciple."

When she spoke these words, everyone present finally understood. Practitioners could only have a single personal succeeding disciple, and thus had always treated taking personal succeeding disciple really seriously, unless one were to encounter someone whom she or he felt destined with. As such, choosing personal succeeding disciples did not depend on aptitudes alone, but fate as well. With how hard it was to encounter someone of fate, it was no wonder she had to snatch the girl as quickly as possible.

Zhu Yao's heart loosened, right after being tensed just earlier. Just what is this female lead doing? Did she recognize her or not?

"Oh right, I have yet to ask of your name yet."

"Hoho, I'm Ma Liang." As she was uncertain of the truth, she had no choice but to rely on her acting skills.

"Ma Liang…" Fan Zhishan sized her up for a moment, and the more she looked, the more heated her eyes became. Cold sweat dripped down Zhu Yao's back, as for some reason, she felt her eyes were a little off. She can't possibly be into both men and women, right? Yamete, this old lady sells her body, but not her skills!

"Which sect are you from? Are you willing to become my personal succeeding disciple?"

"Uh…" If I were to reject your offer, can you not slap my face?

"She's a disciple of my Grandhall Sect." Before she could even speak up, Fa Yu's voice resounded. Zhu Yao instantly heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, when it came to acting skills, it just had to be the acting emperor to go against the acting empress!

Fan Zhishan was a little startled at first, but she immediately let out a tender cry. "Big brother Fa Yu…"

Fa Yu turned to glance at her, his eyes carried a complicated glow, as if they were mixed with love, pain, and disappointment, and other emotions. The quality of his acting skills was so great, Zhu Yao expressed that she was unable to measure it at all.

Taking a deep breath, Fa Yu retracted the emotions in his eyes, restoring his former cold look. He profoundly took up the role of a man whose heart had been hurt and had no choice but to draw a clear boundary.

Zhu Yao was the only one who could see that the cold face of his now was his usual expression. Most likely, he was already beginning to form insults of her in his mind.

"Present here today are all of the elite disciples of my Grandhall Sect. I apologize, but my sect do not have any plans of exchanging disciples with Sect Master Fan."

Fan Zhishan immediately looked at him with a pitiful look as she gently called out. "Big brother Fa Yu…"

Fa Yu however had already turned around and entered the hall, completely ignoring her expression.

Her face stiffened. She had no choice but to suppress her thoughts in the depths of her heart as she led the crowd into the hall, continuing with the procedures of her succession ceremony. However, she did not forget to turn her head back a couple of times, throwing a few reluctant glances at Zhu Yao.

At this moment, Zhu Yao felt even her hair were standing straight and still. The female lead was unaware that Zhu Yao was brought here by Fa Yu, which meant that she did not recognize her at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to take such a roundabout way and use the excuse of personal succeeding disciple to take her in.

However, why was the female lead able to spot her at first glance? Not to mention she developed an extremely great interest in her. With how scheming the female lead was, there was definitely a reason behind her actions. Either for fame, or for her own benefits! However, what did a mere Foundation disciple like her have that could be worth her attention? Why did she look at no one else but her? Unless… There was something on her, and it was something only the female lead was able to see?

Just what was it? Zhu Yao felt that she had managed to grasp onto something, but she just could not grab onto the key behind all this.

The succession ceremony had already begun in the hall. Three out of four of the Hall Master were already sitting next to the throne, while Cao Qi was loudly reciting the official speech as he held onto the Sect Master Token. Just as he was about to solemnly pass it over to Fan Zhishan…

"Wait!" Fa Yu suddenly stood up and interrupted.

Cao Qi turned to look towards Fa Yu with a displeased expression. "Fa Yu, what's the meaning of this?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious." Fa Yu still carried that cold look. "I've heard that Reverend Fan is the twin sister of the former Sect Master. Because of a mistake the wrong child was brought back, and she had only returned to Spirit Heaven Palace today?"

"Of course. This is something everyone is aware of." Cao Qi said with a nod. This matter had already been announced to the entire world, and the entire cultivation world was already aware of this.

"Then, that's strange." Fa Yu coldly snorted. "Since they are twins, on what basis does Spirit Heaven Palace believe that the former Sect Master is fake, while the Sect Master standing before us now is the real one?"

Cao Qi instantly flared up, as though someone was intentionally trying to find fault in them. "Is there even a need to say this? Zhishan is able to awaken our sect's guardian sacred beast, the Spirit Guiding Beast. Is there a better proof than that?"

"Oh… Is that so?" Fa Yu scanned his surroundings. "Ever since I stepped in here, why haven't I seen that awakened guardian scared beast then?"

When he said this, the crowd from the various sects began to discuss this as well. The position of the Sect Master was suddenly handed over when the former Sect Master's lifespan had yet to be depleted. This was already a rare occurrence within the various sects in the first place, let alone something as preposterous as picking up the wrong twin or whatever. This was something that the masses found hard to believe.

"You…" Just as Cao Qi was about to burst into rage, he was held back by Fan Zhishan who shook her head at him.

Instead, she turned around and looked at Fa Yu with a saddened look. "Big brother Fa Yu… Are you still blaming me?"

The corner of Fa Yu's lips twitched for a moment. Just as it looked as if he was about to break character, he immediately turned his head around in a cold manner. He was this close to cussing out at that trash.

Fan Zhishan on the other hand thought that he had affirmed it with his silence. With a long sigh, she turned to look at the crowd in the hall. "Haah, I am aware that everyone has their suspicions. Initially, this lowly one has planned on initiating the life-death contract with the Spirit Guiding Beast after I succeed the role of Sect Master. If everyone holds doubts about me, then let us first contract with the Spirit Guiding Beast."

As she said that, she turned around and led the crowd out of the hall. Flying on her sword, she headed towards the largest mountain out of the range of mountains.

When Zhu Yao saw that the crowd had exited the hall, she knew that Fa Yu had already played his part as she immediately flew after them.

Fan Zhishan stopped a little distance away from that floating mountain and pulled out a tablet. She flung the table into the air, and that lush green mountain began to recede its greenery a layer at a time, like an egg having its shell peeled. Revealed behind it was a white mountain that looked as if it was formed by crystals.

"Spirit Stone Mountain!" Someone cried out in astonishment.

Sighs of praise resounded in the air. The entire floating mountain was actually formed out of spirit stones. It was no wonder the spiritual energy of Spirit Heaven Palace was this rich.

Fan Zhishan was very satisfied with the sighs of the crowd. Smiling, she flew towards the very center of the entire mountain. The crowd followed after her, and only after getting close did they realize that there was an enormous cave residence at the very center of the mountain. It was the area with the richest spiritual energy in the entire Spirit Stone Mountain. The surrounding spiritual energy felt as if it was about to gain substance even.

A man stood in front of the cave residence. Donned in a long azure blue robe, he had extraordinary facial features. Just that, the corners of his eyes were slightly arched. Even though he was clearly a man, he carried an inexplicable bewitching charm. Seeing the approaching crowd, he frowned at first, his eyes carried unconcealed scorn. When he turned to look at Fan Zhishan, he smiled again.

"Bai Li?" Fan Zhishan called out, her eyes were filled with questioning intentions.

That man reached out his hand and pulled her into his embrace as he carried a wanton smile on his face. He slight nodded, seemingly to respond to her. His eyes traced towards Sovereign Pi Shi behind her.

Naturally, Pi Shi began to frown.

Zhu Yao silently watched everyone's little actions. It seemed like this Bai Li was that tenth rank demonic beast in question. The female lead sure had heavy tastes.

However, it seemed like this beast did not actually have an especially harmonious relationship with the rest. No matter how incredible a protagonist's cheat was, it seemed like it wasn't able to beat the instincts of beasts.

She could faintly guess the method the female lead used to awaken the Spirit Guiding Beast. Most likely, the tenth rank demonic beast played a role in it.

"Everyone." Fan Zhishan stepped out of Bai Li's embrace. With her hands cupped together, she turned to the crowd and said. "Today, I request that my fellow like-minded practitioners bear witness to what I'm about to do. I shall now summon the guardian sacred beast of my sect, the Spirit Guiding Beast."

She cast an art with a single hand, and then swung her palm out into the air. White formation lights began to shimmer in front of that enormous spiritual cave. Within it, there seemed to be a gigantic figure raising up high. When it landed, the entire Spirit Stone Mountain even trembled a little. That was actually a single footstep of that demonic beast. Before the crowd could see the true body of that demonic beast, immense pressure came assaulting them, causing their hearts to stir.

"Ling Tian girly!" Zhu Yao sent a message into her body. Zhu Yao planned to pass the authority to control the body to her the moment the demonic beast were to appear. If the Spirit Guiding Beast could only form contracts with the Sect Masters of Spirit Heaven Palace, then Zhu Yao wouldn't be able to do it. Ling Tian had to do it herself.

"Mn, Saintess, I understand." Ling Tian replied. The next moment, Zhu Yao began the procedures to release the control of the body, and planned to dwell in her Dantian.

At the same time, the Spirit Guiding Beast that attracted the astonished sighs of the crowd slowly walked out of the cave as well. Its figure began to look clearer.

Fan Zhishan was filled with smiles. When the demonic beast completely walked out of the cave, it revealed its sharp green teeth. It was an enormous demonic beast with six wings on its back. Facing the heavens, it let out a long roar, stirring up the crowd and causing their blood to tumble. "┗ ｀O′ ┛Roooar~~"

Chapter 332: Five Words Floated in the Air

The female lead raised her two hands up into the air, and loudly said. "Spirit Guiding Beast, my most loyal companion. Are you willing to form a contract with me?"

Zhu Yao's action to release control paused. She turned around and then squeezed Ling Tian girly, who was just about to log on, back down.

"Saintess?"

Just as that beastie was lowering its head and was about to speak out human words… "I…"

Zhu Yao's face was filled with astonishment!

"Sesame!" She could not help but call out.

That demonic beast stopped halfway. Its entire body suddenly shook, and even its three pairs of wings trembled a little. It hurriedly turned its head around, and with its widened bell-like eyes, it looked straight towards the direction of the crowd. Its entire beast head began to distort, as if it was stretching out a smile. However, it revealed a mouth of sharp beastly teeth, making it look terrifying instead.

"Ouu~~" That beastie leapt up, suddenly pouncing towards the human crowd. With a boom, several practitioners were injured from its rush. It finally stopped when it arrived in front of Zhu Yao, staring straight at her. "Mis… Mistress…"

Zhu Yao's face darkened. It really was Sesame!

"Mistress…" Sesame looked as if it was glowing, as it pounced onto her. It did not care if it was crushing her, as it constantly nudged (pressed) against her body with its beast head that was even larger than her entire body. It's roars were filled with grievances. "Mistress, mistress… It really is you! This beastie isn't dreaming, right? When you weren't around, I missed you so much… Auoo… How can you cast beastie aside? I'm born as your beastie, and I will die as your beastie. I don't want to leave your side~" It complained as it cried, completely ignoring the crowd of people at the side whose chins had already crashed onto the ground from shock.

Crowd: … Is this really a high rank demonic beast? I have never seen such a shameless one though?

Sesame sized up Zhu Yao with its sad, teary eyes. "Mistress, with these looks of yours, I can't recognize you at all… Eh? Mistress, you have a chest this time! So mysterious."

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Raising her leg, she kicked at him. "Scram!"

Mysterious, your brother-in-law! Would it kill you not to bring up this old lady's sad situation? I finally managed to have a pair of boobs this time! And they are even borrowed, you know?

Imbued with spiritual energy, her kick struck Sesame and instantly sent it rolling. However, Sesame was not the slightest bit furious, and instead crawled back with a joyous face. "Ouu… Mistress, your kick is still as vigorous as ever, it sends me into ecstasy! This feels so nostalgic. Come… Don't be courteous, kick me again~" After saying that, it instantly shrank back to the size of a large dog, rolled on the ground and revealed its white belly. "I'm prepared. Mistress, come… Don't pity me for the frail flower that I am, kick me with all your might."

Zhu Yao: "…"

Fan Zhishan: "…"

Crowd: "…"

Five words floated in the air: The hell is going on?

Zhu Yao felt like the veins on her forehead were about to explode. Taking a deep breath, she chuckled in front of the crowd. "I'm sorry, please give me five minutes." She had to adjust her family beastie's power mode.

She picked up Sesame by its neck, and then cast an art that erected four earth walls around them, blocking everyone's line of sight. A moment later, ear-piercing miserable screams could be heard from within.

"Mistress… Ah! You're actually hitting me for real! Yamete… It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

"Aiya, I'm going to die, I'm going to die…"

"Don't… Don't hit the face~~!"

"Wait, you can't hit me there! Ouuu~~~ I was wrong, mistress!"

His screams lasted for exactly five minutes, with each scream sounding even more miserable than the one before. Those who heard the screams would be beyond saddened, and those who listened would shed tears. Yet, among the practitioners present, no matter what cultivation levels they possessed, not a single one of them released their divine senses to investigate the situation inside the walls. Instead, they turned their heads away with tacit understanding.

Five minutes later, the walls finally disappeared, revealing two human figures. One was a refreshed young woman, while the other was a young man with a swollen face.

"Spirit Guiding Beast…" Fan Zhishan finally regained her senses, and she looked at Sesame with utter disbelief.

Sesame which had taken up a human form behaved more normally than before, and simply did not bother to glance at her. All he did was hold his pig-like swollen face and let out a chilling breath.

The demonic beast Bai Li next to her however took a step forward. With a slightly perturbed expression, he looked at Sesame. "Your honor… How can you…"

Sesame glared at him. "Shut your mouth. Can't you see this one's harem is in flames?" Do you think it's easy to locate my mistress? I even had to be endure this domestic violence.

"Harem?" Zhu Yao looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Sesame's face stiffened. "No, no, no. How can mistress possibly be in my harem? You're at the top, at the very top. I'm the one in the harem. I'm the little beastie in your harem~"

"…"

"Your honor…" Bai Li was still unwilling to let this go. "Didn't you promise to form a contract with Zhishan?"

"Contract?" Zhu Yao turned to look at Sesame with an inexplicable smile. Her thoughts were clearly written on her face: Your wings sure have grown, along with your own views. You actually dare to form a contract with someone else?

Sesame's body shivered. It immediately glared at Bai Li. This thing here is wrecking his reputation on purpose, right!?

"Who promised you that? Back then, I simply said that I will pretend to see her as my owner, to give you guys some help. Like hell I will want to form a contract with you! I only have a single owner!" After saying that, it immediately turned to look at Zhu Yao with flattering eyes. It then said with a soft vibrato. "Right? … Mistress~"

Can you motherf**king speak while standing up? Stop hugging onto my legs!

Zhu Yao reached out her hand to turn that distorted pig face away. Looking at his face anymore than that could cause nightmares.

With how the scene had played out, even an idiot could guest that this Spirit Guiding Beast had taken this unknown young lady as its owner.

"You… Who in the world are you?" Cao Qi stood out with a furious look. This proper succession ceremony was just about to be completed, yet it was actually cut off by someone.

Zhu Yao did not bother to continue her act either, as she instantly removed the mystic artifact that was concealing her looks, revealing her former beauty. In an instant, different mixes of emotions could be seen on the faces of Fan Zhishan and the few people of Spirit Heaven Palace. The female lead especially had turned deathly pale.

Zhu Yao chuckled at Fan Zhishan. "Long time no see, my good sister. Oh! Right, I forgot to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Ling Tian, the former Sect Master of Spirit Guiding Hall!"

She intentionally emphasized the word "former". In an instant, it was as the place was an exploded boiler, as everyone began to discuss among themselves. Fan Zhishan and her group of men however, all had darkened expressions.

"I heard that I suddenly gained a younger sister." Zhu Yao swept her gaze around, and then looked at Fan Zhishan smilingly. Letting out a long sigh, she said. "Haah, seeing that I have cultivated for several decades, I will naturally feel joyous to have a new relative. Though you look…" She intentionally sized her up for a moment, and all she was lacking now was calling her ugly. "Though you look so very… different from me, I will still believe you. But as for your claim that Spirit Heaven Palace had taken the wrong child back then, I don't agree to it at all. It's not like they were blind… Uh, of course, I'm not saying that you're ugly!"

Crowd: "…" You're obviously saying that.

"If you want to enter Spirit Heaven Palace, then say so directly! Why the need to come to my Spirit Stone Mountain and offend my contracted spirit beast? You need to know that though Sesame is already a tenth rank demonic beast, he has very small guts. He can't bear to lay eyes on faces, uh… with poor features. What if you scare him? Oh, isn't it, Sesame?"

Sesame immediately nodded heavily in concert. "Mistress is the most beautiful, mistress is the best, mistress is marvelous!"

The discussions from the various sects and clans grew louder. Clearly, this was a good drama piece where the fake was trying to impersonate the original, and take over her authority. The condemning eyes of the crowd shifted towards Fan Zhishan's direction.

The few Hall Masters of Spirit Heaven Palace had the biggest reaction out of everyone present. Other than Cao Qi, everyone single of them was glaring furiously at Fan Zhishan.

"Just what is going on here?"

"Sect Master Fan, you best give us an explanation. Back then, we believed you because you said you awakened the Spirit Guiding Beast."

"What Sect Master Fan? The Spirit Guiding Beast basically don't acknowledge her. She's just an imposter."

"She had almost destroyed the inheritances that had been passed down in our Spirit Heaven Palace for so many years."

As expected of the female lead. In a situation like this, she was still able to reveal a frail look with tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at the crowd with an innocent face. "I… I didn't… You have all misunderstood."

Unfortunately, the people of Spirit Heaven Palace were all fuming and ignoring her frailness. There were even some who summoned their weapons and wanted to step forward to capture her.

Suddenly, a demigod-stage pressure instantly enveloped the crowd. A few of the agitated Spirit Heaven Palace disciples especially had been slammed directly onto the ground.

The area instantly quietened down, as everyone raised their heads and turned to look at the only Demigod practitioner present – Sovereign Pi Shi.

"Sovereign, what's the meaning of this?" A Hall Master of Spirit Heaven Palace asked in a displeased manner.

Sovereign Pi Shi stepped forward and instantly shielded Fan Zhishan. His cold eyes swept across the crowd and finally stopped on Zhu Yao's figure. Frowning, he unconsciously leaked out a hint of killing intent.

Sesame who was still hugging onto her leg earlier, instantly flared up and similarly released its pressure in full power, pushing his pressure back.

Pi Shi was stunned. Clenching his fists, he retracted his pressure and solemnly said. "Fellow practitioners! The matter today is merely a misunderstanding. My disciple simply got too excited in meeting her relative, which led to these chains of events. It was this one's fault for not teaching her properly. However, Zhishan is after all still my disciple, and I will punish her myself. There's no need for fellow practitioners to do it on my behalf."

"You…" The crowd from Spirit Heaven Palace turned furious. He was clearly trying to protect her.

Pi Shi simply let out a cold snort. Other than that demonic beast which was a little hard to deal with, he did not actually take anyone else here seriously. It was not that he could not battle it out either, but they were after all the ones at fault today. If he were to make a move, he was afraid that the reputation of Sleipoup Sect would take a blow. "If fellow practitioners think that there's anything inappropriate, please feel free to look for me."

Before waiting for anyone's response, he arrogantly left with Fan Zhishan.

The tenth rank demonic beast called Bai Li followed closely behind the two of them and left as well.

Leaving behind the various sects and clans with mixed looks.

Zhu Yao shook her head. It was truly impulsive for Pi Shi to protect her in such a manner. He was a little too arrogant. If his strength could suppress the entire cultivation world, it would have gone well. Zhu Yao's master was strong to the point where no one would dare to make a single noise, and if he had similar strength, the crowd might indeed endure it. However, he was merely a Demigod. Though there were very few Demigod practitioners, he was still not the only one in this cultivation world. Other first-rate deity sects could still push out three or four of them.

This blatant act of shielding his disciple had undoubtedly ignited the anger of the masses. Though it was true that no one had spoken up back then, this debt was still clearly taken note of.

Chapter end
