Chapter 420: To Be The Scapegoat

Ling Chuxi chuckled. “Oh, Mister Ren, how passionate you are to chase me all the way from Ding Lin Country to Nan Xia’s capital and now till here.” Ling Chuxi surreptitiously accumulated her Battle Qi as she stalled for time by making small talk with Ren Youran with a smile. She knew that when facing such enemies, there was only one chance to make a move and there was definitely a need to raise her cultivation to its peak to gain a sliver of a chance of survival.

“Ling Chuxi, as expected, you’re still so stubborn even right before death,” said Ren Youran hatefully. He had personally received lashings from Ling Chuxi’s venomous tongue, and he remembered very clearly what ridicule and humiliation she had heaped onto him in the past. He definitely needed to return the favor to her. He definitely needed to rip her into shreds to vent the hatred he felt within his heart.

“This time even the Lord Divine Messenger can’t save you. You’re going to hell, Ling Chuxi!” exclaimed Ren Youran jubilantly before he started cackling manically. “If you want someone to blame, then blame it on the mercy of your Divine Messenger lover for letting us off the last time.”

“Oh, so it’s like this, huh? However, wouldn’t Qingjue then avenge my death?” pondered Ling Chuxi aloud as she touched her chin and blinked innocently.

“Avenge you? Ha! Yes, I’m sure he will, but who would know that it was us? Even if he wanted to take revenge, it would mistakenly be against Ye Qianhe!” Ren Youran’s eyes were bloodshot and proud as he continued his spiel while glaring straight at Ling Chuxi.

Ling Chuxi was laughing loudly inside her heart. ‘Senior Ren Youran, let me give you some applause. Speak! Continue speaking!’

“That Ye Qianhe is truly unfortunate to be the scapegoat in your plan. Actually, now that I think about it, he isn’t actually all that bad. I really have a few slight regrets about not acknowledging him as my master,” said Ling Chuxi with a sigh.

“He can blame his own luck for being bad! Your luck is even worse.” After he finished speaking, Ren Youran did not hesitate to give the order he’d been itching to give—”Kill!”

It was such a rare opportunity. In this obscure mountain range, even if he killed Ling Chuxi, who would know that it was Wu Feng Hall who did it? Even if Huangfu Qingjue were to take revenge after the matter was a done deal, he would definitely assume that it was Ye Qianhe who did it and therefore would execute his revenge on Ye Qianhe instead.

Just as Ren Youran and his men were about to take action, Ye Qianhe’s cold and eerie cackle rang out into the air before his voice said, “I never thought that there would actually be someone who dares to make calculations against me.”

“Ye Qianhe!” Upon seeing Ye Qianhe appear, Ren Youran and his men were shocked. Everything Ren Youran said just now had all been overheard by Ye Qianhe. Now this, this was bad.

Ling Chuxi put on a helpless expression on her face and thought to herself, ‘See, surely enough the villain will always be unlucky in the end because they talk too much. If you had gotten straight to the point and beaten someone to death without saying a word, would it have killed you? Where did all that nonsense come from? Did you forget that Ye Qianhe was chasing me? Having to chatter away and express all your thoughts on harming Ye Qianhe. Would you have lost anything by not expressing them? Indeed, one should not show off too much, it is better to keep a low profile.’

“Even if my disciple were to be killed, it would not be by you. You must be seeking death to actually dare make calculations against me!” shouted Ye Qianhe in anger as he shattered and scattered an entire sheet of green poisonous powder . Just now when he overheard that these people wanted to harm him, he felt extremely furious. After hearing that Ling Chuxi regretted not acknowledging him as her master, he felt that he should protect her from her own shortcomings as she was one of his own.

The expressions of Ren Youran and his men changed as they immediately took a few steps back and were about to make an escape, but with just a sway of movement, Ye Qianhe already stood before them. One of the men who was a little slower than the others was hit by the poisonous powder and instantly started shrieking. His face scrunched up into a ball due to the intense pain he felt. Although he did not fall to the ground, his entire body was constantly convulsing.

“Senior, as Wu Feng Hall also has connections with the Heavenly Star Sect, please be merciful, Senior!” cried Ren Youran as cold sweat started pouring from him. Even though he had cultivation in the realm of Great Fulfilment, the man who was currently convulsing was unable to withstand the effects of this poisonous powder. One could tell how potent it was.
