Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 432: Chapter 302: Wu Zhong’s Feelings

Countless Primordial Power, invisibly converging towards the top of Ye Lingyue’s skull.

Her hands, feet, limbs, and even the blood throughout her body was solidified. She wanted to escape but couldn’t.

Demon Suppressing Heaven Annihilation Technique, Fourth Tier Martial Arts.

It was the signature martial arts technique of Hong Qingyun. With just one move, the atmosphere would change dramatically, capable of killing people invisibly.

He was well aware that Ye Lingyue was an Alchemist.

For Alchemists, spiritual power is most important.

And the direct source of spiritual power is the soul.

If the soul were to be crushed directly, what would she rely on to be an Alchemist, and on what to save Xixia Plain from this crisis?

If she is not usable by the Hong Residence, then simply get rid of her.

In the past, Hong Qingyun didn’t care much about the Ye Family’s Mother and Daughter, thinking that Ye Lingyue couldn’t surpass Hong Mingyue, which is why he scorned to kill Ye Lingyue himself.

But now, this reason has completely collapsed.

However, recent events have shattered the pride and perceptions Hong Qingyun had held for many years.

Perhaps, in terms of talent, Ye Lingyue is still no match for Hong Mingyue.

But in terms of means, this woman is evil and cunning, willing to sacrifice anyone else’s life for herself and her family.

Hong Qingyun realized that she and he were of the same kind.

All this talk about the common people of Daxia, about royal power and status, was nonsense to her.

”It’s a pity, you should have been the best among this generation of the Hong Family,” Hong Qingyun slowly said, his eyes full of killing intent like raging waves.

Ye Lingyue, you are still just inexperienced, do you really think that killing requires a Blood Blade?

If you become a fool, who could tell Emperor Xia that it was I who did it?

Hong Qingyun came today to make Ye Lingyue acknowledge her ancestors and return to her roots. Since she won’t acknowledge it, Hong Qingyun doesn’t mind turning her back into the fool she was fourteen years ago.

”Marquis Hong!” A voice like a bolt of thunder interrupted the imminent kill at that very moment.

The door had already opened.

But the person who entered was not the waiter.

On the other side of the table, another person appeared.

It was this person who caused Hong Qingyun’s complexion to instantly turn livid.

It seemed as though an invisible force of Primordial Power fell between Ye Lingyue and Hong Qingyun.

They seemed not to have exchanged blows yet appeared as if they had exchanged several, but it was just a moment, and the room returned to calm.

The person was still in the original position.

Only the wine pot on the table was broken, and the wine was spilled all over the table.

Ye Lingyue’s eyes narrowed, and together with Hong Qingyun, they turned to look at the elder beside them.

Dressed in dark attire, wearing a Yama Ghost Mask, it was Master Sha from the Killing Hall.

”Marquis Hong, second boss, I just passed by Drunk Immortal Inn, happened to be thirsty, and barged in, hoping to ask for a cup of wine. I wonder what you two think?” The Hall Master of the Killing Hall, ghostly as he entered, was actually just for a cup of wine.

Hong Qingyun’s complexion darkened, his hand holding the wine cup already trembling with anger.

Unexpectedly, in Xia Capital, apart from Marquis Gu Cangtian, there was still someone who could stop Hong Qingyun.

The Killing Hall, a myriad of doubts flooded Hong Qingyun’s heart.

”It’s generous of Master Sha to appreciate the wine from Drunk Immortal Inn, today’s drinks are on Ling Yue. Ling Yue will go and prepare it for Master Sha,” Ye Lingyue, still dry-lipped from the narrow escape, slowly stood up.

Hong Qingyun’s gaze was shadowy, yet he did not speak to intervene.

He merely gulped down some wine, the intent to kill in his eyes fading as his gaze fell upon the mask of the Hall Master.

Just moments ago, he had faced off with the Hall Master in just one move.

In just that one exchange, Hong Qingyun found that the opponent’s strength was on par with his own.

”Master Sha, what is your intention here? This is a matter of the Hong Residence.”

After the Sha Sect was destroyed, even though Princely Heir Hong took over, the power of the Sha Sect had drastically declined.

The position of the Killing Hall as the foremost power in Xia Capital remained unshakable.

However, Hong Qingyun was unaware that the Killing Hall had become entangled with the Lan Residence.

Or rather, since when had the Lan Residence collaborated with the Dark Forces?

”Marquis, I am merely fulfilling someone’s trust to protect Miss Ye. On the territories of Xia Capital, no one is to touch a single hair on Miss Ye’s head, not even you, Old Marquis. This time, it was I who acted, but if there is a next time, I fear...” His speech abruptly cut off, and Master Sha dipped his finger in some wine, writing a few characters on the table.

Seeing those characters, Hong Qingyun stood up sharply.

He seemed to want to say something but eventually did not.

By the time Ye Lingyue returned, only Master Sha was left in the private room.

The wine stains on the table had already dried.

”Master Sha.” Ye Lingyue had only met this member of the Killing Hall a few times.

Just now, if not for Master Sha, she would have probably...

Her fingers suddenly tightened, and Ye Lingyue couldn’t help feeling annoyed at her own carelessness.

She had almost been calculated by Hong Qingyun.

Reincarnation Five Paths, such was the strength of a Reincarnation Five Paths powerhouse.

With a bitter smile in her heart, before Hong Qingyun, Ye Lingyue realized her own strength was as insignificant as an ant, extremely fragile.

”Miss Ye, would you prefer I address you as Princess Ye, Thirteenth Young Master, or perhaps Sect Leader? Let’s settle on Lord Ye, during this time, the Ghost Sect has indeed snatched quite a lot of business from the Killing Hall,” Master Sha unceremoniously took the beverage Ye Lingyue offered and drank a big sip.

The wine of the Drunk Immortal Inn truly deserved its fame worldwide.

”It seems nothing can be hidden from Master Sha. I am thoroughly grateful for today’s lifesaving grace, Master Sha. This bottle of Flying Elixir and Invisibility Elixir I offer as recompense,” Ye Lingyue did not wish to owe any favor to Master Sha.

”Following someone’s order does not warrant any recompense. I protect you simply because the Ghost Emperor himself wishes to protect you,” Master Sha gave a wry smile.

It was him, it truly was him.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but clench her teeth, her complexion shifting.

The Underworld Yama Palace truly was omnipresent.

Seeing the girl’s defiant demeanor, Master Sha wanted to say something else.

”Three months, senior only needs to protect me for three months. Next time when I return to Xia Capital, Hong Qingyun, I will handle him myself,” said Ye Lingyue as she tossed the Elixir Pills deftly into Master Sha’s hand.

The person was his, but the compensation she still provided.

Wu Zhong, you relentless wretch.

She couldn’t tell if it was annoyance or shame that rose in Ye Lingyue as she thought of Wu Zhong’s extraordinarily bewitching eyes.

His deep voice seemed to linger in her ears as well.

”Weak, truly weak.”

Once again, she was belittled by that man. Stamping her foot, Ye Lingyue gave a bow and turned to leave.

Master Sha gave a muted chuckle.

These two, truly shared a similar temperament; even their words were barely distinguishable.

Ye Lingyue knew that the Killing Hall was also a force of the Underworld Yama Palace, but what she did not know was that neither the Killing Hall nor Master Sha were originally under Wu Zhong’s influence.
