Chapter 44

He said, "I might not know about this, but the person beside me certainly does."

"He's the Academy Second Master, and I'm the Academy Grand Master."

"If he won't handle it, are you expecting an old man like me to take charge?"

Jiang Mu Ming was taken aback.

This old man was clearly set on being a hands-off boss.

Still, Zhuge Yun was someone he had deliberately kept around.

If he didn't keep an eye on things and let the other party cause a bloodbath, he'd feel a bit guilty about it.

"Forget it, forget it."

"Once you old drunkard have had your fill of wine, head to Azure Dragon Gate and wait for your disciple to show up."

"As for that sneaky fellow."

"Leave him to me."

Beyond Heaven, Wu Zuo Shi—before him, they couldn't stir up any trouble!

Tian Qi City.

Dark clouds veiled the moon.

As if some shadow was about to descend.

Yue Yao and Zhuge Yun's group left Qianjin Platform and entered a small alley in the city.

Zhuge Yun suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Hey, why'd you stop? We still need to follow the clues to find that place," Yan Feifei complained.

But Zhuge Yun ignored Yan Feifei.

Beneath the black robe, a face hidden in the darkness let out a cold laugh.

"Miss, this game should come to an end now."

Zhuge Yun turned and pulled off his black robe.

Revealing his true face.

And beside him, from the darkness of the alley, White-Haired Immortal Mo Qixuan and Purple-Clad Marquis Zi Yu Ji emerged from the shadows.

Yue Yao's expression gradually turned serious.

From the moment Zhuge Yun appeared, she had already suspected something.

And now, seeing this—

It was indeed Wu Zuo Shi, Zhuge Wucheng!

But if Zhuge Wucheng was here, where was Zhuge Wucai?!

"Miss, stop dwelling on useless thoughts."

"You are the young lady of Beyond Heaven. Your duty is to think of Beyond Heaven and bring Jiang Mu Ming, who betrayed it, back. That is your priority."

"He is your husband. If you wish to see him, he will naturally appear."

"I don't know how he broke through to the Carefree Heaven Realm, but as long as he shows up alone, he won't escape my grasp!"

"As for Baili Dongjun, I've already made arrangements."

Wu Zuo Shi had two members. Taking Baili Dongjun and Jiang Mu Ming separately was more than enough in Beyond Heaven's eyes.

All they lacked was an opportunity!

But for some reason, Jiang Mu Ming had suddenly become the Academy Second Master.

And his martial realm had skyrocketed.

A single line of poetry had even allowed Zhuge Wucheng to glean some insights from it.

Without Yue Yao's help, it would have been troublesome.

Especially with the Eight Princes of Northern Li by his side—Xiao Ruo Feng, who had already entered the Carefree Heaven Realm, was no easy opponent.

So Yue Yao had to lure Jiang Mu Ming out!

"Miss, could it be that you're unwilling to work for Beyond Heaven and instead want to help your husband break free from it?"

"Or perhaps, Miss wants to leave Beyond Heaven too?"

Zhuge Wucheng's tone suddenly turned icy, sending a bone-chilling cold through the air.

As if at any moment, he might strike!

"Beyond Heaven? You're from the Demonic Cult?"

Song Yanhui of Peerless City suddenly realized and demanded.

He eyed the group warily.

The Demonic Cult of Beyond Heaven had a reputation that preceded it—even Wushuang City had to tread carefully around them.

And now, they dared to show up in Tianqi.

They must have come prepared.

He and Yan Feifei had stumbled into this by accident—their chances of survival were slim!

"The dead don't need to know that much."

Zhuge Wucheng raised a hand casually.

A burst of demonic energy shot out, sending Song YanHui flying as he coughed up blood.

Yan Feifei, however, managed to dodge the blow using the movement technique she had just grasped.

She escaped for the moment.

But her expression turned grim—she hadn't expected to accidentally get caught up in Beyond Heaven's schemes!

And in their four-person squad, two of them were actually from Beyond Heaven!

"Miss, it's time to make a decision." Zhuge Wucheng pressed on. "Don't force your subordinate to take action."

Yue Yao's face grew heavier by the second.
