Ye Tian Was Killed!

Hearing this, Xu Qingyang narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Jinhong. "Who told you that?"

"The Qi Family!"

Xu Jinhong replied.

Just as I thought!

Xu Qingyang sneered.

Then something occurred to Xu Jinhong, and he continued, "Brother Qingyang, I also learned something else. Young Lord Tian of the Ye Family in Nanyang Prefecture has arrived in Heavenly Martial City. He may have come because of this!"

"Young Lord Tian?"

Xu Qingyang paused. "You mean Ye Tian?"

"Yes, him!"

Xu Jinhong nodded. "Besides that, people from the Qi Family are watching our Xu Clan from outside. I have no idea what they're planning!"

A sharp glint flashed through Xu Qingyang's eyes at those words. It seemed the Qi Family and Ye Tian had joined forces to strike at him and the Xu Clan!

Xu Qingyang asked, "Brother Jinhong, where is Ye Tian staying now?"

"The Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant!"

Xu Jinhong thought for a moment before answering.

At that instant, a bloodthirsty smile curled Xu Qingyang's lips.

Xu Jinhong said, "Brother Qingyang, there's something I find strange. Ye Tian went straight to the Qi Family after arriving in Heavenly Martial City, but he hasn't made a single move since leaving!"

Xu Qingyang said nothing.

He knew Ye Tian and the Qi Family must have been plotting against him, though he did not yet know what their plan was.

Afterward, Xu Qingyang left the training grounds and returned to his pavilion.

Evening fell.

Standing outside his pavilion, Xu Qingyang gazed at the bright moon overhead and said calmly, "Tonight, I'll meet this Young Lord Tian of the Nanyang Ye Family. Hopefully, he won't disappoint me!"

The instant his words fell, Xu Qingyang donned the White Tiger Mask, pointed with two fingers, and flew off on his sword.

Soon, he arrived at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and located the Heaven Suite where Ye Tian was staying.

Whoosh!

In a flash!

Xu Qingyang entered the Heaven Suite. Before Ye Tian could react, the Red Sparrow Sword was pressed between his brows, and his expression changed drastically.

At that moment, Ye Tian's heart filled with sheer terror. If Xu Qingyang had driven the blade between his brows, he would already have been dead.

"Sir, we have neither old grudges nor recent enmity. What are you doing?"

Ye Tian stared at Xu Qingyang, utterly bewildered.

"Is that so?"

Xu Qingyang snorted coldly. "Ye Tian, why did I hear that you joined forces with the Qi Family to take revenge on Xu Qingyang of the Xu Clan for the deaths of Ye Xingchen and the others?"

At those words, Ye Tian's pupils abruptly contracted, and his expression changed drastically.

He had never imagined that this man would know about his secret plot with the Qi Family against Xu Qingyang!

Just as he was trying to think of a way out, Xu Qingyang's voice rang out.

"Ye Tian, tell me every detail of your plans with the Qi Family right now, and perhaps I'll spare you. Otherwise, your head will part from your body immediately, and you'll never get your turn at becoming the Ye Family's young master. Think carefully!"

Ye Tian gritted his teeth, torn inside. Clearly, Xu Qingyang's words had struck him right where it hurt.

A moment later.

Ye Tian drew a deep breath, seemingly making up his mind. He looked at Xu Qingyang and said, "Sir, I'm willing to tell you everything, as long as you let me go!"

"Speak!"

Xu Qingyang said.

But instead of speaking immediately, Ye Tian said pointedly, "Sir, promise not to kill me first!"

"Hmph!"

Xu Qingyang snorted coldly. "Your life is in my hands right now. Do you think you're in any position to bargain with me?"

"You!"

Hearing that, Ye Tian nearly exploded with rage.

"Talk!"

Xu Qingyang sneered. "This is your only chance. Make good use of it!"

Ye Tian struggled to quell the fury in his heart, then said, "I came to Heavenly Martial City to join forces with Qi Yue, the Qi Family's old patriarch, and seize Xu Qingyang's fortuitous opportunity!"

"As for avenging Ye Xingchen and the others, that was something I planned to do afterward!"

Damn it!

This Ye Tian actually wanted to seize my fortuitous opportunity?

He truly deserved to die...

Xu Qingyang sneered inwardly, then asked, "Why didn't you attack Xu Qingyang directly after arriving in Heavenly Martial City?"

Ye Tian said, "I know the Xu Family has extremely powerful trump cards. With only my strength and the Qi Family's, we couldn't possibly seize Xu Qingyang's fortuitous opportunity!"

"Only after my Ye Family's Grand Elder arrives can we be certain nothing will go wrong!"

Hearing this, the killing intent in Xu Qingyang's heart grew even sharper. "Ye Tian, do you know my relationship with Xu Qingyang?"

Ye Tian shook his head.

Xu Qingyang said, "I am the White Tiger King, Xu Qingyang's protector!"

The moment those words fell.

Ye Tian's pupils abruptly contracted, and his face filled with sheer terror.

He had never imagined that the man before him was Xu Qingyang's protector. He was finished now.

"Ye Tian, since you intend to move against Xu Qingyang, I'll wipe you out today!"

Xu Qingyang said coldly.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?"

Ye Tian gritted his teeth, seemingly unwilling to accept his fate.

Xu Qingyang sneered. "I never said anything of the sort!"

"Go to your death in peace!"

As his voice rang out, the Red Sparrow Sword instantly pierced through the space between Ye Tian's brows.

"White Tiger King, my father will avenge me!"

Ye Tian forced out those words with his final breath, then perished completely.

Xu Qingyang immediately walked out of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant and said icily, "Ye Tian, if your father comes for revenge, I won't mind sending him to reunite with you!"

The next day.

Early morning.

At the Qi Family.

Inside the great hall, Qi Yue sat on a long chair, his aura vast as the sea, brimming with the majesty of one who held power.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he muttered to himself, "My left eye kept twitching last night. Did something happen?"

Just then, Qi Taicang entered the hall, looked at Qi Yue, and cupped his hands. "Old Patriarch, something terrible has happened!"

My left eye was twitching fiercely last night. So something really did happen?

Qi Yue thought to himself.

Then Qi Yue asked, "Speak quickly! What happened?"

Qi Taicang gritted his teeth. "I just received word that Young Lord Tian, Ye Tian, was slain by a mysterious expert in his room at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant last night!"

"What?"

Qi Yue's eyes widened at those words, and he exclaimed in shock, "Ye Tian was killed at the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant? How... how is that possible?"

He knew Ye Tian's cultivation was at the nascent soul middle stage, and his combat strength could already reach the nascent soul peak.

"Old Patriarch, there were no signs of a struggle at the scene. A single sword strike pierced Ye Tian between the brows!"

Qi Taicang said.

Qi Yue's brows knitted tightly, and he barked, "That's even more impossible!"

"How could our Heavenly Martial City have an expert that powerful?"

Seeing Qi Yue's reaction, Qi Taicang could not help sighing. "Old Patriarch, Ye Tian is dead. That is a fact we cannot change!"

"The Nanyang Ye Family's Grand Elder will arrive within the next two days. Shouldn't we think carefully about how to explain this to him?"
