Chapter 207: Best Wingwoman, Long Qingyue (Second Update)

“What an arrogant junior! I’ll teach you a good lesson today!”

The Sect Lord of God King Sect, who had been humiliated earlier, couldn’t help but jump out. Seeing the Sect Master of Azure Wings Sect and his subordinates bullying the juniors further fueled his anger, and he rushed towards the ring.

“Don’t be so impulsive, Sect Lord. As immortal sect leaders, we mustn’t let emotions affect our decisions. Let’s first hear how she explains herself.”

The Sect Master frantically tried to manage the situation. He had no idea why this stand-in had suddenly decided to kill an immortal sect disciple so casually.

Even though she was now the Immortal Sect Grand Tournament’s champion, such a murderous act couldn’t be overlooked.

“This person is one of the demon cultivators who killed the contestants; there’s another one still loose,” Fairy Fengya continued to explain.

The Cave Master of Broken Dragon Sect became even angrier upon hearing this. “You accidentally killed someone, and now you’re trying to deceive us with your lies!”

Fairy Fengya didn’t even glance at him, completely disregarding this high-ranking figure. Instead, she kept her eyes fixed on the Sect Master.

The Sect Master smiled wryly, then steeled himself and said, “How do you know he’s the culprit?”

“Because he is,” Fairy Fengya replied simply, offering no reasoning process, only a conclusion.

“Sigh… Go and check if this person has anything that could identify him as a member of the demon sects.” The Sect Master realized he couldn’t get any more information and instructed the waiting elder from the Hall of Discipline to examine the body.

After a short while, the elder finished inspecting the corpse and reported his findings to the crowd.

Seeing the familiar demon sect items, everyone’s expressions changed slightly; moreover, they also found a list and murder tools in his bag of holding.

“By my discernment, this person is indeed an assassin from the Tower of Unfettered Dreams, one of the Ten Great Demon Sects.”

“You’re from the Azure Wings Sect, so naturally you would help your sect; you must be falsifying evidence.”

The Cave Master of Broken Dragon Cave still refused to give up, believing that the Sect Master of Azure Wings Sect was using tricks to protect his own people.

Seeing the Cave Master’s attitude, the Sect Master finally lost patience as well, his voice turning cold as he continued, “Cave Master, you are taking things out of context. In this demon sect attack, my Azure Wings Sect suffered the greatest loss. Do you think our prestigious sect would kill so many elite disciples just to protect Ye Wenxin?”

The Sect Master of Azure Wings Sect thought that the Cave Master of Broken Dragon Cave was being unreasonable. Originally, Broken Dragon Cave engaged in shady business and only managed to join the ranks of the Ten Great Immortal Sects by bribing the founder.

He hadn’t expected the Cave Master to be so irrational as well.

“Heh, who knows if this isn’t information you deliberately released? For all we know, you might’ve already colluded with the demon sects!”

Originally, enmity and misgivings were most feared among cultivators, yet the Cave Master of Broken Dragon Cave continued to stir up conflict, making the other sect leaders extremely uncomfortable.

Even a blind person could see that the Cave Master was being unreasonable, intending to use this incident as an excuse to extract substantial benefits from the wealthy Azure Wings Sect……

Seeing the chaos among the higher-ups, “Ye Meijing” also jumped onto the ring and walked over to Fairy Fengya, whispering, “Master, let’s switch back. I’ll explain the rest.”

“Ye Meijing” knew that Fairy Fengya would never make a mistake and that the person was indeed an assassin from the Tower.

However, since Fairy Fengya’s manner of handling things was always like this, “Ye Meijing” had to step in personally to resolve this unnecessary dispute and steer the conversation back to the rewards.

Fairy Fengya looked at “Ye Meijing” and finally nodded slightly.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”

With that, she really turned around and prepared to leave. “Ye Meijing” could only smile wryly, feeling the extent to which Fairy Fengya was putting her disciple in a tough spot.

She also understood that Fairy Fengya deliberately killed the demon sect member to achieve two things: first, to ensure that Ye Wenxin’s reward would be more substantial, and second, to tarnish Ye Wenxin’s reputation, making it so that other elder-rank cultivators wouldn’t take an interest in someone with such questionable conduct.

Only Fairy Fengya could come up with such a twisted idea.

Seeing that the people on the platform were still arguing and wouldn’t be able to continue the conversation for a while, “Ye Meijing” ensured that “Ye Wenxin” had already disappeared, and walked into the nearby resting area to finally take the antidote.

Her appearance reverted to the original form of Demon Lord Gu Qingcheng. Ye Wenxin then used the Bone-shrinking Technique to make her features plain, transforming back into the form of Ye Wenxin, who bore only a slight resemblance to the Demon Lord.

“It feels best to be myself,” Ye Wenxin said, touching her face.

She found a mirror to confirm that her face was almost identical to Ye Wenxin’s previous appearance. Satisfied, she left the restroom and walked back towards the ring.

The crowd was still engrossed in the spectacle when they saw Ye Wenxin swaggering back.

The Cave Master of Broken Dragon Cave became even more infuriated and shouted, “Ye Wenxin, you are truly presumptuous! Do you really think that with your Sect Master’s protection, I wouldn’t dare deal with you?!”

The Cave Master was incredibly angry. This time, he no longer wanted to wait. He planned to teach Ye Wenxin a harsh lesson and then demand more compensation from the Azure Wings Sect.

But before he could take three steps, an invisible force knocked him back. Looking closer, a spirit talisman had appeared in the air at some point, which the Cave Master had inadvertently triggered.

Everyone’s expressions changed, and they all turned their gaze towards the spirit talisman’s caster—Eldest Princess Long Qingyue of the Golden Age Dynasty.

“Oh, so the Sect Master’s protection is useless? Then, how about this palace’s protection?” Long Qingyue’s voice was soft, yet everyone could hear each word she said clearly.

Unlike others who had to gather their Qi to shout, Long Qingyue, who was already in the Nascent Soul stage, could control her Qi as naturally as breathing.

The Cave Master of Broken Dragon Cave looked even more embarrassed, not understanding why Long Qingyue would suddenly join in the conflict between immortal sects.

Ye Wenxin naturally understood that Long Qingyue was worried she wouldn’t be able to use the Sword Qi Technique and blow her cover, so she specifically stepped in to support her.

Appreciating her best friend’s thoughtfulness, Ye Wenxin winked at Long Qingyue as a gesture of thanks. Then she cupped her hands towards the high platform and continued, “Thank you all for your kindness, but this junior does not need it!”

The voice was even more arrogant and domineering than Fairy Fengya’s, as Ye Wenxin shouted to showcase her alternate identity’s characteristics.

The people who were still in the midst of their dispute were momentarily stunned. They watched as Ye Wenxin cupped her hands, saying, “I, Ye Wenxin, do things only to satisfy my conscience.”

“I wonder if this senior dares to ask himself if he has lived a life without regret, and if he can face the heavens after death? Or is he already prepared to face hell afterwards?”

Ye Wenxin looked at the Cave Master of Broken Dragon Cave, who hesitated slightly. She continued, “I’ve also heard that hell has eighteen layers. I wonder how many layers you will descend for the sins you have committed? Or perhaps, you’ll descend every single one?”
