Villain: After Truncating the Heroine, the Protagonist Collapses

98: The secret of Tianji Pavilion! Yang Yucheng’s injury is known to the worldOn the blood-red post.

Regarding this news, every gilded character was imbued with a heavy aura of blood Qi, as if transforming into an invisible force, silently influencing the cultivators who read such news.

Yang Yucheng immediately fell into deep thought.

The people from Tianji Pavilion.

Yang Yucheng wasn’t surprised that they knew this news.

They had ties to the Upper Three Sects and were also a rare force that, even when the Upper Three Sects did not interfere with the mundane world, could still operate under their name.

They were a power that continued to operate in this Northern Region.

The Heavenly Secret Technique was inherently unpredictable and profoundly mysterious, so it wasn’t strange for them to know Yang Yucheng’s current physical condition.

But the question was, why would they do this?

Thinking of this.

And recalling the Second Elder, who also cultivated the Heavenly Secret Technique in the Fengyun Sect, as well as his Disciple, his other Senior Brother, Yang Yucheng had a sudden realization.

“Could it be them?” Yang Yucheng thought to himself.

The Second Elder’s suspicion was lighter, but his good Senior Brother Zhao Qingrou’s suspicion was extraordinarily high.

The competition between Prodigies.

Especially within the same Sect, the rising storm and hidden struggles between two peerless Prodigies, the overt clashes, accounted for one aspect of their strength.

But the covert schemes, the various machinations and calculations behind the scenes, were equally numerous.

And all of these.

Whether overt or covert, these competitions were tacitly approved by the Sect’s high-ranking Elders.

Although it was a Righteous Path Sect, if it didn’t possess decisive means, it couldn’t guard against petty schemes. How could it then be qualified to lead such a large Sect to a higher and stronger Peak?

If it was merely about being powerful!

In this world.

While strength is important, there are always those who are stronger, and there is always a higher heaven. Therefore, strength alone does not make one a qualified powerhouse!

But no matter the situation, Yang Yucheng had to admit at this moment.

This blood-red post, the news spread by Tianji Pavilion, caused him a lot of trouble.

Yang Yucheng felt a headache coming on.

Yang Yucheng’s face was nonchalant. The blood-red post in his right palm was suddenly consumed by the Heavenly Phoenix True Fire, burning fiercely.

Before long, it had turned into ashes, leaving no trace.

Gradually.

This news also reached the Divine Phoenix Guard on the spirit boat, including Sixth Elder Xu Cheng, and also Li Huanhuan, the Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace.

It even caused significant unrest once again in the Northern Region!

...Still Qixia City!

Third Prince Chen Qiuyun arrived at the same restaurant where Yang Yucheng had stayed before.

As soon as he arrived.

On the second floor, it was still the same window seat.

However, the person there had changed.

It was Luo Tong from the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Seeing Chen Qiuyun’s figure approaching, he chuckled, not bothering to greet him.

He spoke directly.

“Now!”

“With the news from Tianji Pavilion, everyone’s minds are clear.”

“Tianji Pavilion has been rooted in the Northern Region for so many years, and the news it has given has never been false, especially such good news!”

Luo Tong’s eyes flickered slightly as he spoke, seeming to harbor quite a bit of regret.

“No wonder Yang Yucheng left immediately after coming out of the Fengling Secret Realm. Now that I think about it carefully, he was probably truly terrified.”

“He must have been eager to return to the Fengyun Sect as soon as possible to recuperate from his injuries!”

“Hehe!”

Facing these remarks, Chen Qiuyun sneered, “Then now, do you have the guts to go trouble him?”

“If you really did, I’m afraid the few of us wouldn’t be gathered here today.”

Looking ahead!

Zhi Shan the Little Monk from Fanyin Temple was also there.

However.

The reason he gave for being there wasn’t to seize treasures, but merely to experience worldly affairs, following the advice of his master, the old abbot.

As for what counts as experiencing worldly affairs, couldn’t he, a monk, just say whatever he wanted?

As soon as the three of them took their seats.

Luo Tong spoke again: “Should we make a move?”

“Last time!”

Chen Qiuyun continued to sneer, saying, “The person sitting in your seat was Xu Gu from the Xuantian Sect, but he’s dead now!”

As this topic dropped.

Immediately, the atmosphere between the three of them grew cold.

Even Luo Tong from the Heavenly Demon Palace in front of them showed a hint of chill in his expression.

With cold eyes, he looked directly at Chen Qiuyun, “Third Prince, what do you mean by this? Are you really not tempted by that top-grade spirit artifact?”

“Don’t forget, this top-grade spirit artifact! Even Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven of your Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, may not possess many.”

“Once acquired, it could be a divine item capable of suppressing the Imperial Dynasty’s Luck in the future. Moreover, if you obtain this item, perhaps you will have a chance to compete with your Eldest Sister.”

“Are you truly unmoved? I won’t believe it.”

“What if I am tempted? Although this news is nine times out of ten true, now that someone has already gone to test it for us, why should we personally venture into danger?”

Chen Qiuyun shook his head, offering sound advice.

“A gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall; a wise man does not strive for a fallen nest!”

“Offending Yang Yucheng, the consequences, neither you nor I may be able to bear. He was able to kill Xu Gu; killing the two of us probably wouldn’t even warrant the word ‘fear’!”

Chen Qiuyun said so!

Luo Tong fell silent for a moment.

“Monk, what do you think?”

He changed the subject, asking Zhi Shan the Little Monk in front of him.

“Amitabha!”

Zhi Shan twirled a string of prayer beads in his hand, “Although a top-grade spirit artifact is good and can suppress the Imperial Dynasty’s Luck, how can it compare to the Legacy of the Fallen Divine Phoenix?”

“Are the two of you not tempted by the Legacy?”

Hearing this, Luo Tong chuckled.

This was the kind of talk he liked to hear.

“Who said I’m not tempted?”

He gently tapped the table, making a slight sound, and his eyes slowly looked towards the direction outside Qixia City.

“At this moment, someone has already made a move against Lin Fan!”

“Just as the Third Prince said, since someone is testing it for us, why should we personally venture into danger? Do you truly believe that I, a Demonic Path fiend, don’t understand the principle that a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall?”

“The top-grade spirit artifact is far away, but this Divine Phoenix Legacy is right before our eyes,”

“Moreover, compared to Yang Yucheng, Lin Fan is much easier to deal with, isn’t he?”

Luo Tong asked a rhetorical question.

He strode out of the restaurant, his target being Lin Fan himself!

Behind him, Chen Qiuyun was also preparing to follow.

The next second, two Imperial family Elders appeared on either side of him, surrounding him completely!

“Third Prince, the time for your training is up. We should return, otherwise, if the Eldest Princess blames us, we absolutely cannot bear the responsibility!”
