Chapter 693: Chapter 378: Presenting the Yao Tai Sect!

In front of the Jade Universe Pavilion, the battlefield was chaotic.

This battle was a surprise attack launched by the Celestial Evil Cult, advancing from the mountain’s foot all the way up.

Without alarming anyone outside of the Yao Tai Sect.

The Yao Tai Sect had been at ease for too long; by the time they discovered the attackers, the enemy was already halfway up.

There was no time to resist, forced to this point by sheer power.

Now, the battle had just ended, and those involved didn’t even have time to tidy up the battlefield before surrounding them once more.

This time, they mainly surrounded He Wenzhang and a group of rebels.

He Wenzhang had defected mid-battle to the Celestial Evil Cult, allowing his disciples to harm their fellow sect members, a truly heinous act.

However, due to their remaining feelings for fellow sect members, they surrounded them but didn’t immediately strike, waiting for Ji Yexue to decide.

Ji Yexue wasn’t in a hurry to make a decision; somehow, she found herself already by Chu Qing’s side.

Without minding the ethereal aura around her, she silently sat two feet away from Chu Qing on the steps, quietly watching the people under Chu Qing’s feet.

Chu Qing glanced at her:

"Sect Leader Ji, do you have something to say?"

"I want his life."

Ji Yexue’s tone was quite calm:

"You may set your conditions."

Chu Qing chuckled:

"Is this how you usually speak?"

Ji Yexue thought for a moment, shook her head. Just as Chu Qing was curious, thinking if she didn’t usually speak like this then how she did speak... Ji Yexue said:

"I usually spend my days in seclusion, not speaking."

"..."

Impeccable!

Chu Qing was somewhat helpless, then smiled and said:

"I can give you this person, but have you thought about what happens next?"

"Are you referring to the Celestial Evil Cult?"

"Precisely."

"They...in the Celestial Evil Cult, would be considered experts, right?"

Ji Yexue’s tone was not very certain.

Chu Qing said:

"The Celestial Evil Cult has deep foundations. This Saintess, that Saint Child, not to mention the Sect Leader who, as they say, fears no one but the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.

"Just the Twelve Saint Kings alone are enough to sweep across the Martial World... Although the martial arts of these two, fat and thin, are not bad, they are just vanguards under one of the Four Great Army Masters, the Celestial Kill General.

"There are eight such people under the Celestial Kill General.

"And the martial arts of the General are reportedly far superior to theirs.

"I just happened to be here for today’s battle; otherwise, the Yao Tai Sect might have been erased from the Martial World today.

"So, Sect Leader Ji... have you made up your mind?"

Ji Yexue bowed her head slightly, leading to a long period of silence.

Chu Qing didn’t mind, just sat by her side waiting.

The disciples of the Yao Tai Sect seemed even less concerned, with a group surrounding those traitors, also quietly waiting.

Because of this, when Wu Qianhuan and others arrived here, they found the scene somewhat strange.

The disciples of the Yao Tai Sect were all poised, with bodies all around.

There were people from the Celestial Evil Cult and disciples of the Yao Tai Sect.

And as they walked inside, they could see Chu Qing and a pretty girl sitting side by side on the damaged steps in front of the Jade Universe Pavilion, neither saying a word.

"What’s going on?"

Wenren Qianluo was somewhat surprised, not understanding the situation.

Wu Qianhuan shook her head but was relieved upon seeing Chu Qing unharmed.

No matter the situation, as long as Chu Qing was okay.

As for the person beneath Chu Qing’s feet, there wasn’t even a need to look... It wasn’t someone she needed to deal with, nor did she need to care about the life or death of this person.

And Gentle did not show any intention of answering Wenren Qianluo, being quietly aloof, her demeanor was quite similar to Ji Yexue.

As for Su Ningzhen... she didn’t want to participate in the discussion.

She just occasionally glanced around, catching glimpses of familiar faces, but when she looked at the group being guarded in the middle of the scene, a trace of iciness appeared in her eyes.

She saw He Qianqiu.

But she didn’t understand why, as a disciple of the Yao Tai Sect, he too was surrounded.

What heinous deeds had he done?

Fortunately, among their group, there were several from the Yao Tai Sect.

This spared Wu Qianhuan and the others from being troubled, and with questions, there were people to inquire about.

The leading disciple of the Yao Tai Sect asked a few questions and already got the answers.

He was instantly furious.

Upon learning that at a critical moment, it was Chu Qing who appeared to help and resolve the danger.

Despite the swelling on their face due to taking several slaps from Chu Qing, they couldn’t help but feel grateful.

Even the disciples of the Yao Tai Sect, when they knew that Wu Qianhuan and others were with Chu Qing, discreetly cupped their fists to show respect to them.

The atmosphere of silence continued, everyone waiting.

Finally, just after Ji Yexue had been in a daze for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, she parted her thin lips and began to speak.

But at that moment, the group in the middle, who had been obediently surrounded, suddenly moved!

The first to move was He Qianqiu.

With a turn of his long sword and a leap, two Sword Qi suddenly fell amongst the crowd.

This change really fueled a surge of anger in people’s hearts.

The disciples of the Yao Tai Sect already hated their cruelty, hated them for defecting at the crucial moment, turning their swords against their own people.

Now, instead of properly waiting for the Sect Leader’s decision, they were trying to escape!?

Simply outrageous!

The disciples of the Yao Tai Sect instantly sprang into action, and some even blocked Wu Qianhuan and the others, as if not wanting them to be affected by the battle’s aftermath.

Wu Qianhuan was originally very cautious, but seeing the actions of the Yao Tai Sect’s disciples, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
