Ye Qingxian left her cave abode and wandered aimlessly around Heavenly Sword Peak.
She gazed toward the peak's highest point.
After what had happened, she no longer felt confused about the Heavenly Sword Venerable. All that remained was an even deeper anger.
She had sensed the aura of the Heavenly Sword Venerable's attack.
Ye Qingxian now knew that many people in the Wuya Sect obeyed the Heavenly Sword Venerable's orders. The Ye Family's assault this time had most likely been ordered by him as well.
What exactly did the Heavenly Sword Venerable want?
And what secret did Ye Xiaoyao possess?
Even now, Ye Qingxian still had no clear answers.
But she only needed to know one thing: the Heavenly Sword Venerable was an enemy, not a friend. He had been coveting Junior Sister from the shadows all along, and might even be plotting to take her life.
There could only be one reason he hadn't acted yet.
He still wasn't confident enough to take Junior Sister down.
Or rather, he wasn't sure he could take down Junior Sister and everyone who would protect Ye Xiaoyao at the same time.
The reason was simple.
The Heavenly Sword Venerable's identity as an enemy was now certain.
No enemy would pass up the chance to nip a threat in the bud. If they did, it could only be because they weren't sure of victory.
Then Ye Qingxian thought it over again.
The Heavenly Sword Venerable's strength was beyond question. Sometimes Ye Qingxian even wondered whether she was truly from this world. Otherwise, how could she be so far stronger than everyone else?
The first time she'd met the Heavenly Sword Venerable, the terrifying power contained in his body had shocked her. That was why she had given up on becoming the Wuya Sect
