Chapter 135 Contradictions
Qian Renxue avoided eye contact. "I... I didn't mean to hurt her."
"So, in the end, you ordered them to do it? Why did you do that? Sister Yan doesn't seem to have provoked you, does she?" Lin Ye's tone turned cold.
Qian Renxue lowered her head and remained silent.
Xie Yue felt like he couldn't breathe, a suffocating sensation washing over him. He struggled desperately, pounding on the other person's arm.
With a thud, he was thrown hard to the ground, his body hitting the hard surface, and pain instantly spread throughout his body.
He took deep breaths of the fresh air.
Xie Yue cursed himself for being foolish and misunderstanding the Holy Maiden's meaning. He originally thought the Holy Maiden was going to deal with Dugu Yan.
But now it seems that this is not what I thought before. It seems to be a love triangle between three people!
The nightmare wasn't over; a large foot then stepped on his left arm.
Lin Ye's eyes were icy cold; he hadn't forgotten Xie Yue's throat-slitting gesture earlier.
He stepped on Xie Yue's arm expressionlessly, applying slight pressure with his foot, as if he were dealing with an inanimate object.
The force gradually increased in intensity, applying pressure slowly. The air seemed to freeze at that moment, a chilling silence enveloping everything.
With a crisp yet chilling "snap," Xie Yue's arm bent at an unnatural angle.
Pain instantly spread across Xie Yue's face, his features contorted, and he let out a piercing scream.
Lin Ye remained indifferent, his eyes devoid of any pity.
Xie Yue's provocations without cause are remarkably similar to those of Shrek Academy; both are people who act recklessly because they have some talent.
This is a dog-eat-dog world. If you don't have enough strength to cause trouble, that's not courage, that's stupidity, and you'll pay the price.
"Brother..." Hu Liena cried out and ran over, only to be slapped to the ground by Lin Ye.
Qian Renxue tried to stop him, but Lin Ye yelled, "Get out of my way!"
"You yelled at me? You yelled at me for that woman?" Qian Renxue stared blankly, looking incredulous.
"You had my woman seriously injured, what do you think I should do to you?"
Qian Renxue, aren't you taking yourself too seriously? What's our relationship? Or do you think I'm your lapdog?
Qian Renxue was stunned. Only then did she realize that Dugu Yan was Lin Ye's woman, that is, his family.
And I am still just an outsider.
Between outsiders and family, everyone knows how to choose.
……
I don't know how much time passed.
After a dizzying spin, when she finally stood on solid ground again, Qian Renxue found herself back on the arena.
The lost power returned to the body.
Across from him, Lin Ye's expression was icy.
Qian Renxue opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and jumped off the stage dejectedly.
Leaving the ring means being eliminated.
The moment she was pulled into the time-space arena, she had already lost.
If this were a battlefield, and if she were facing an enemy, she would already be dead.
The rules of the competition stipulate that killing or intentionally causing injury is prohibited.
It's not that she can't stay and continue the competition, but if she really did that, it would be tantamount to throwing a tantrum and acting like a scoundrel.
She lost, and that's that; she's not someone who can't accept defeat.
Pope Chihiro noticed that his daughter was in low spirits, but assumed it was because she had lost the game, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
In his view, a few setbacks were not a bad thing for Xiaoxue.
The reason this match has turned out this way is entirely due to Xiaoxue's arrogance.
That kid's soul skill is indeed amazing, but it requires a certain amount of time to release. During this time, if Xiaoxue goes all out, given the difference in their cultivation levels, that kid won't have a chance at all.
Xie Yue tried to stand up, but a flying kick hit him squarely in the abdomen. The powerful impact sent Xie Yue flying backward, soaring high into the air before crashing to the ground, tracing a graceful parabola in the air.
He looked pained after being hit on the ground.
The more arrogant they were before, the more miserable they are now.
"Brother, you've gone too far!" Hu Liena's eyebrows furrowed in anger. She was about to rush forward to argue when she was unexpectedly kicked as well, the powerful force of which instantly sent her off the stage.
The arena seemed to freeze at that moment, leaving only the Spirit Hall team's eyes filled with shock and anger.
As Hu Liena's sycophant, Yan couldn't stand it anymore.
"You bastard, how dare you bully Nana! I'll fight you to the death!"
Like a warrior of pure love, Yan, with red eyes, rushed towards Lin Ye like a moth to a flame for the sake of his bullied goddess.
Second Soul Skill - Nightmare.
Facing the seemingly berserk Yan, Lin Ye casually activated his second spirit ring.
The nightmare wasn't just targeting Yan, but all members of the Spirit Hall team.
Li Kai, whose martial spirit is the Black Horned Boar, vigilantly observed his surroundings, preparing for any possible attack.
In his view, the scenery suddenly changed; just moments ago he was on the arena with his teammates beside him.
In the blink of an eye, the arena disappeared, and the surroundings were pitch black, as if one were in an endless night, where one could not see one's own hand in front of one's face.
Humans are instinctively afraid of the dark. Li Kai's breathing gradually became heavier, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Suddenly, a fist carrying flames attacked from behind without warning. Before Li Kai could react, he was blasted away by the enormous force.
From the perspective of the onlookers, Yan appeared to be attacking his teammates like a headless fly.
First, there was Li Kai, who possessed the Black Horned Boar Martial Soul, and then there was Sun Chuantao, whose Martial Soul was a Giant Ring Blade.
Two teammates were eliminated one after another under Yan's attacks.
The two seemed to be under a spell, and their reactions were always a beat too slow.
If it weren't for the fact that the cardinal acted as a referee and provided assistance, there might have been injuries or disabilities.
Among the Spirit Hall team, only Zhang Ping, who was flying in the air, escaped everything.
woohoo hoo...
The immense exertion left Yan leaning on his knees, panting heavily like an old ox.
Lost in his nightmare, Lin Ye was completely unaware of Lin Ye's approach.
Lin Ye kicked out.
Yan flew out instantly, gliding in a graceful parabola in the air before finally landing outside the arena.
At this point, only Zhang Ping remained on the field for the Spirit Hall team.
Lin Ye dispelled the nightmare and looked calmly at Zhang Ping, who was flapping her wings, and said, "Are you going down by yourself, or do you want me to take you down?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping sighed helplessly, but she did not admit defeat or give up.
With a flap of its wings, it swooped down towards Lin Ye below.
The Spirit Hall team may lose, but there is no reason for them to back down before the battle even begins.
After a while.
With a thud, Zhang Ping fell off the stage in a rather disheveled manner.
At this point, all seven members of the Spirit Hall team have been eliminated.
For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the scene, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, creating a sense of oppression.
They lost. The Spirit Hall lost, even with the Holy Maiden personally intervening.
How embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.
The members of the Spirit Hall, including Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, a group of cardinals, and Pope Qian Xunji, all had very grim expressions.
After a brief silence, the referee reluctantly announced in a loud voice: "I hereby declare that the final champion of this Continental Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is Purple Star Academy."
Then, the prize claiming process was smooth.
Qian Xunji took the brocade box containing the soul bone from the waiter.
The cardinal, seated as the referee, announced loudly, "Please have the representative from Purple Star Academy come forward to receive the champion's prize."
Lin Ye stepped forward and took the three soul bones from the brocade plate into his pocket.
Beside Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue looked at Lin Ye pitifully like a child who had done something wrong, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear, "Brother, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry anymore."
Lin Ye ignored her and turned to leave resolutely.
Seeing this, Qian Xunji knew that the two had a conflict.
He couldn't very well ask since they were still outside and there were so many people around.
After a while, once all the participating academies had left, Qian Xunji dismissed Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and a group of cardinals before arriving at the Papal Palace with Qian Renxue.
After waving away the bystanders, Qian Xunji asked, "Xiaoxue, tell me, what's going on between you and that kid?"
In front of her father, Qian Renxue was very honest and told him everything in detail.
After listening, Qian Xunji fell silent.
What a mess! You're not even married yet, and you're already messing with someone else's wife, who was your childhood sweetheart.
Qian Xunji felt that if it were him, he wouldn't be able to stand it either.
Men find it very distasteful of women engaging in these petty power struggles and palace intrigues. What's the point of all this fighting? It just creates chaos in the backyard and disrupts the peace of the whole family.
As a fellow man, Qian Xunji could understand.
However, Qian Renxue is ultimately his daughter, so it's hard to say.
"Xiaoxue, you need to know that you are the future angel god, and that kid may also become a god. You two are the ones who will stay together for the long haul. The women around him now will ultimately just be passersby."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue thought about it carefully and felt it made a lot of sense. However, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Qian Xunji said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xue, you've grown up now, so I won't say anything else."
But there's one thing you need to know: because of the historical accounts of you and your mother, he has a lot of prejudice against you.
That's all I have to say. Xiaoxue, think it over carefully.
Qian Xunji could clearly sense Lin Ye's prejudice against Bibi Dong and her daughter.
For example, he said that Bibi Dong's biggest flaws were being an ingrate, having a nature that is hard to change, and being beyond redemption, etc.
As for Qian Renxue, the assessment is: she's got a brain full of bubbles.
Qian Xunji was very interested in the future, and Lin Ye selectively told him some of it.
The part that exhausted him the most was the Tian Dou Palace Coup.
Your father killed Tang San's mother, Tang Hao beat your father to death, and you actually thought of recruiting Tang San to do things for you.
Heaven knows how Qian Xunji reacted when he heard these things; his little darling was letting the wind in.
What's wrong with your brain? Even if Tang San really surrendered, would you dare use him? Aren't you afraid he'll stab you in the back at a crucial moment?
Two flowers bloom, each framed.
After finishing the competition, Lin Ye and his group embarked on their journey home.
When they returned, there were two more people with them: Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
On the way back, we didn't follow the main group; instead, we flew along with Xue Di, which was much faster than a horse-drawn carriage.
Five days later.
Tian Dou City, Lin Mansion.
Carriages loaded with goods were parked in front of the mansion gate. The carriages were filled with a large amount of easily stored food, including meat.
Even drinking water was provided.
If a modern person saw this scene, they would most likely think that the end of the world was coming and that this was a preemptive stockpiling of supplies.
"Sir, these are all the things you requested. Where would you like to put them?" a man dressed as a servant asked.
Lin Ye waved his hand: "No need to move it, I can just take it."
As he spoke, Lin Ye walked to the carriage and, with a wave of his hand, put all the items on the carriage into his storage soul tool.
Back at the manor, Dugu Yan asked curiously, "What are you doing with all this stuff?"
Lin Ye didn't hide anything, "I'm going to the Killing City to make some preparations in advance."
"The Killing City? What kind of place is that?" Dugu Yan said she had never heard of it.
Lin Ye explained, "The Killing Capital is a special place, located in the far west, a land of barbarians, filled with fallen soul masters and heinous criminals."
There are special rules inside, so soul skills cannot be used.
And while getting in is easy, getting out is incredibly difficult. Those who have fallen into depravity and become criminals, once inside, will almost never be able to get out again.
Therefore, in a sense, the Killing City can be seen as a prison, a prison where you can enter but never leave.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan frowned deeply. "It's so dangerous, yet you still want to go?"
"I had a reason to go, and that place would be very helpful to me."
Lin Ye absolutely had to go to the City of Slaughter.
For this purpose, he also specially manufactured a large quantity of gunpowder.
Dugu Yan was about to say something when Lin Ye waved her hand to interrupt her.
"I've made up my mind, Sister Yan, please don't try to persuade me anymore. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Lin Ye has always been a very opinionated person. Dugu Yan understands him and, seeing this, did not continue to dissuade him, but she still couldn't suppress her worry.
evening.
Inside the room, Lin Ye exhaled a breath of stale air and exited his cultivation state.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Xue Di sitting gracefully at the head of the bed.
"Sister Yuki-onna, when did you arrive?"
Xue Di stretched out her arms and hugged Lin Ye tightly, nestled quietly in his embrace, her head gently resting on his strong shoulder, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance, her voice gentle: "I know I can't persuade you, but you must come back safely. As long as you come back safely, I will agree to anything you ask."
Lin Ye could clearly feel Xue Di's concern and worry, which warmed her heart and brought a happy smile to her face.
With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
"Don't worry, Snow Woman, there won't be any danger. Have you forgotten that I can foresee the future?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Di felt somewhat relieved.
After a while of tender moments, Xue Di left, which left Lin Ye a little disappointed, as he had originally planned to spend the night with her.
Feeling something scratching at his clothes, Lin Ye looked down and met Lin Qiu'er's big, round eyes.
Qiu'er said, "Haven't you always wanted me to take human form? I'll listen to you about taking human form after you come back, provided you can come back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye was both amused and exasperated. Why did everyone seem to think they were never coming back? However, this was an unexpected surprise, as Lin Ye had long wanted Qiu'er to take human form.
