Not Giving an Inch, Until Death with Ye Chen!

Fang Xing merely glanced at Ye Chen. By rights, he did not even regard such a minor figure as worthy of notice.

But Ye Chen had just tried to make Qin Luo bear the blame. Whether Qin Luo had done it or not, he would never allow the Great Qin Dynasty to be stained with disgrace.

"If Ninth Prince wishes to investigate, then naturally he may." After Fang Xing spoke, his gaze fell upon Liu Changhe. "I wonder what the Taixu Sacred Land's Holy Lord thinks?"

He said he was asking, but in truth, he was merely informing him.

Before Liu Changhe could speak, Ye Chen refused.

"No!"

"There are secrets of mine inside my ring. I will not allow anyone to search it!"

"Besides, Qin Luo's theft is already an established fact. How can he still quibble?"

"Could it be that this Taixu Bell is fake?"

"Just because Qin Luo is the Ninth Prince of the Great Qin Dynasty, can he casually twist the facts and run wild within my Taixu Sacred Land?"

"The disciples of my Taixu Sacred Land have backbone too! How can we allow Qin Luo to bully us at will!"

What a fellow. Every word was filled with righteousness, as he tried to tie the Taixu Sacred Land to his war chariot.

As expected, the Taixu Sacred Land disciples began discussing among themselves.

"The Taixu Bell is right here. Could the Taixu Bell be fake?"

"Qin Luo is trying to use his power to bully others."

Qin Luo sneered and pointed at the Taixu Bell before him. "You keep insisting that this is your Taixu Sacred Land's Taixu Bell, but do you not know what your Taixu Sacred Land's Taixu Bell is like?"

"My Taixu Bell is more than a hundred times stronger than that piece of junk from your Taixu Sacred Land!"

"I'll say it again." Qin Luo looked toward Liu Changhe. "You say this is your Taixu Sacred Land's Taixu Bell. Call it, then. Will it answer?"

"Don't tell me that the mighty Holy Lord of the Taixu Sacred Land lacks the ability to activate the Taixu Bell."

Every word made Liu Changhe's expression grow darker.

Everyone's gaze settled on Liu Changhe. They waited for him to activate the Taixu Bell and slap Qin Luo across the face before their very eyes.

Yet Liu Changhe stubbornly remained silent.

They did not stop to think: when Qin Luo had brought out the Taixu Bell to fight Tu Shouyi earlier, why had Liu Changhe not controlled it? It was because he could not!

Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Chen immediately explained for Liu Changhe. "That is because you, Qin Luo, severed the connection between the Holy Lord and the Taixu Bell. The Holy Lord cannot control the Taixu Bell now."

Qin Luo gave a derisive laugh. "You idiot, do you think everyone else is an idiot too?"

"What cultivation am I at? I am only at the Divine Ability Realm. What cultivation is your Holy Lord at? He is in the Saint Realm. I severed his connection? Heh, why not say I can kill him with one sword strike?"

"Fine, fine, fine. Let us assume all of you are idiots and believe I can do that. Then I have a question for Elder Lin."

Qin Luo's gaze fell on Lin Ruoxuan. "Elder Lin, tell me: is the Four Symbols Sword Technique of the Taixu Sacred Land incomplete or complete?"

Lin Ruoxuan had cultivated the Four Symbols Sword Technique before, so she answered without hesitation. "The Four Symbols Sword Technique of the Taixu Sacred Land is an incomplete fragment. It only contains the move Nine Heavens Fire Dance."

"And what about me? How many moves did I use just now?" Qin Luo asked.

Lin Ruoxuan fell silent for a moment before saying, "You used another move from the Four Symbols Sword Technique."

Qin Luo laughed. "And I can still use the other two moves of the Four Symbols Sword Technique, even Four Symbols Unity. Do you believe that?"

As his words fell, his aura changed.

A vast, misting rain seemed to descend all around them—the Four Symbols Sword Technique's Rainfall Without End!

Lin Ruoxuan's eyes widened, filled with shock. Qin Luo had once again overturned everything she knew. Perhaps this was what a monstrous genius who cultivated the Sword Dao was like!

"If you only possess one move while I possess the whole set, then who do you think stole from whom?"

With one sentence, he silenced the entire Taixu Sacred Land.

That was right. They only had an incomplete fragment, while Qin Luo possessed the complete Four Symbols Sword Technique.

"So, all of this is mine, and every accusation you just made was nothing but their slander!"

At that moment, Liu Ruyan weakly said, "Senior Brother Qin, but you already admitted it just now."

Then she met Qin Luo's piercing gaze, which made her panic.

"Admitted it? Heh, did I have any choice but to admit it?"

"Circumstances are stronger than men. Every damn one of you used your status to pressure me. Even if I denied it, would the blame not still fall on me?"

Liu Ruyan wanted to retort, but she was powerless to do so.

Qin Luo's gaze returned to Ye Chen as he said flatly, "Ye Chen, slandering me comes at a price."

"Don't you just want the position of Holy Son, along with that bitch?"

Qin Luo pointed at Liu Ruyan, making her heart ache beyond measure.

"Bitch? Senior Brother Qin actually called me a bitch?" Liu Ruyan felt as if Qin Luo had wounded her heart until it was riddled with holes.

[Liu Ruyan's state of mind has slightly collapsed. Fortune Points lost: 5000. Host gained Villain Points: 5000.]

"Do you know that those things are like dung in my eyes?" Qin Luo said with disdain.

"You want them, sure, but slandering me is where you went wrong!"

"Today, you must take out that ring. Otherwise, you will not be leaving today!"

Facing Qin Luo's relentless pressure, Ye Chen once again felt helplessness and fury.

The last time had been within the Ye Household, when those people forced his father to step down and drove him out of the Ye Household.

At the time, he had sworn that he would kill those clansmen. Later, he had indeed done so, slaughtering his way back into the Ye Household and exterminating every person who had humiliated him that day.

Now, a similar scene had appeared again. He clenched his fists.

"Master!" he growled. At this moment, his master was still the only person he could rely on.

His master sighed. "I told you before that you were too impulsive. As expected, something unforeseen has happened."

But a lecture was a lecture. She was also one of the beneficiaries of this matter. The Origin Essence of the Taixu Bell was currently nourishing her soul.

Ye Chen was her disciple. Since he had encountered such a crisis, she naturally had to stand up for him.

A sigh rang in many people's ears. Fang Xing's previously calm expression also turned solemn at this moment.

Everyone looked toward Ye Chen. A phantom figure slowly drifted out from within his ring.

At the sight of that illusory figure, quite a few people's eyes widened.

The phrases "peerless elegance" and "beauty capable of toppling kingdoms" did not feel out of place on that woman in the slightest.

Even Liu Ruyan felt inferior to her.

After the woman emerged, her gaze settled on Qin Luo. She spoke lightly, "Why not spare someone when you can?"

"Let us consider Chen'er to be at fault in this matter. Consider that I owe you a favor."

As she spoke, she released a powerful aura. Feeling that formidable pressure, Fang Xing stepped beside Qin Luo and watched the woman warily.

Though this woman was only a soul body, her soul was extraordinarily powerful, already at the Saint King Realm.

"She's strong?" Qin Luo asked.

Fang Xing answered, "Her soul is powerful, but she only has a soul."

If that was the case, Qin Luo understood. He said in a deep voice, "Right is right, wrong is wrong! What do you mean, 'consider Ye Chen to be at fault'?"

"Could it be that I slandered him?"

"If you claim that I slandered him, then present your evidence. Otherwise, Ye Chen and I will fight until one of us dies today!"
