Chapter 386: Today No One Can Stop Me, He Must Die
Abbot Jie Tan, Wanderer Bao Hua, Master Qing Yan, and Elder Ji Dao stood together.

Even though Wu Shao Zhen had an unusually firm temperament, he still could not help tensing up in front of a row of Divine Transformation old fiends.

Abbot Jie Tan first explained clearly everything that had happened from beginning to end, then removed the seal on Wu Shao Zhen.

Wu Shao Zhen was still choosing his words when Master Qing Yan gave a cold laugh.

“The person was not killed by him.”

Wu Shao Zhen was shocked. Then joy burst into his eyes.

Everyone turned to look at Sword Sovereign Jiu Hua.

Under their hopeful gazes and heavy pressure, Sword Sovereign Jiu Hua asked: “Qing Yan, how did you determine that the person was not killed by him?”

All eyes fell neatly on Master Qing Yan.

In the past, Master Qing Yan would never have done anything that damaged his own face and reputation.

But now he did not avoid it at all. He openly revealed that Ye Cong Xin had faked her death to escape, and he even spread the news of her identity as a Malevolent Spirit.

Everyone frowned deeply.

Huge waves surged in Wu Shao Zhen’s heart.

So Bai Qing Qing was not Bai Qing Qing. Her real name was Ye Cong Xin.

She had been lying to him from the very beginning.

Ye Cong Xin had flattered him in every way. It must have been because of his Fortune. Luckily, he had seen through Ye Cong Xin’s schemes and had not fallen for them. Otherwise, his end now would surely have been the same as Elder Oblivion’s, reduced to a dried corpse.

“Ye Cong Xin’s methods are strange and unfathomable. Last time, she was able to fake her death and escape under everyone’s eyes. This time she fled again before Abbot Jie Tan arrived. Her means are truly mysterious. We have to guard against her.”

“That’s right. I also saw her once at the Cultivation World Grand Tournament. I did not feel anything special about her at all. I never thought she was this unusual.”

“The term ‘Malevolent Spirit’ is too general. Can anyone guess what she actually is?”

“…”

Everyone started a heated discussion about Ye Cong Xin.

Master Qing Yan did not join them. Instead, he pulled Wu Shao Zhen aside and asked in detail about his daily interactions with Ye Cong Xin.

After learning that Wu Shao Zhen had not been bewitched by Ye Cong Xin, and had even noticed something strange about her and guarded himself carefully, a faint look of approval appeared in Master Qing Yan’s eyes.

“What is your name?”

Wu Shao Zhen steadied his mind and said in a deep voice: “This junior Wu Shao Zhen.”

Before he said this, Wu Shao Zhen had felt a brief sense of pride.

Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.

Ye Cong Xin had wanted to frame him, but without knowing it she had sent him a huge opportunity.

If he could gain Master Qing Yan’s favor, even if he was not taken in as a disciple, getting one or two pointers from him would still benefit him greatly.

However, he never expected that this one sentence would once again push him into a desperate situation.

Master Qing Yan slowly enunciated each syllable of his name: “Wu Shao Zhen.”

Raging anger almost burned away his reason. The pressure of a Divine Transformation Cultivator crashed down on Wu Shao Zhen like huge storm waves.

Wu Shao Zhen let out a muffled groan. In an instant, a large mist of blood burst from his body. His internal organs felt as if they had shifted out of place, the pain unbearable.

Master Qing Yan was still not satisfied. He raised his arm, ready to slap Wu Shao Zhen to death.

“Qing Yan!”

Wanderer Bao Hua could not help shouting to stop him.

Sword Sovereign Jiu Hua and Abbot Jie Tan also struck out at the same time, forming two layers of Spirit Power shields around Wu Shao Zhen’s body.

Master Qing Yan was burning with rage. His face, usually cold and emotionless, was now full of icy killing intent.

Wang Sheng was actually Wu Shao Zhen.

No wonder, no wonder he and Ye Cong Xin had gotten mixed up together.

In their previous life, the two had worked together in evil and caused the deaths of countless cultivators.

What made Master Qing Yan’s eyes almost split with fury was that Wu Shao Zhen had dared to plant Peach Blossom Gu on Yu Zhao.

He had made Yu Zhao suffer the curses of the entire world and bear a shameful name for the ages.

Trash like him did not deserve to live.

“Today no one can stop me. He must die!”

Master Qing Yan’s Taoist robe billowed even without wind. His terrifying aura climbed higher and higher.

Seeing that things were going badly, Yao Wu Jiquickly retreated, backing off more than a hundred zhang, still scared out of his wits.

The other Divine Transformation old fiends felt completely baffled.

He was the one who had firmly said at first that Wu Shao Zhen was not the killer. Now he was also the one who insisted on killing Wu Shao Zhen.

What on earth did he want?

Among everyone present, only Wanderer Bao Hua knew that Master Qing Yan’s illness had long since been cured. His desire to kill Wu Shao Zhen was not affected by pain. It was the strongest wish hidden deep in his heart.

“Qing Yan, listen to me.”

Master Qing Yan forced down his anger and said, “Wanderer Bao Hua, it is not that I refuse to give you face. Wu Shao Zhen was born in a Gu Insect Aristocratic Clan. To raise Gu insects, he stops at nothing, even using cultivators’ flesh and blood to feed them. The cultivators who have died by his hands are beyond counting. His sins are monstrous. He deserves to die.”

Everyone gasped in shock.

Wu Shao Zhen had an outstanding face. It was hard not to feel some goodwill toward him at first sight.

But after hearing Master Qing Yan’s explanation, when they looked at Wu Shao Zhen again, their gazes were no longer friendly.

Right now Wu Shao Zhen was badly injured and half conscious. He could not even open his mouth to explain.

Even if he wanted to explain, he could not explain clearly, because everything Master Qing Yan said was true.

He felt the pain all over his body. His eyes were filled with suffering and despair.

Just when he thought he would die at Master Qing Yan’s hands, Wanderer Bao Hua spoke again: “Wu Shao Zhen was originally my person. He was taken away by Ye Cong Xin by force. Now that he has returned, I have my own way to deal with him.”

In the past, Wanderer Bao Hua had planned to use Wu Shao Zhen to raise an Insect King with Immunity to All Poisons. But she had her own bottom line. Her methods were far less cruel than Wu Shao Zhen’s, so the results were not very good.

After Wu Shao Zhen disappeared, she had felt regret for quite some time.

But now Young Master Wu had delivered himself to her door, and she had learned his true nature. Naturally, Wanderer Bao Hua would no longer hold back.

She was also determined to get Wu Shao Zhen.

She was afraid that Master Qing Yan would not let him go, so she secretly sent him a Voice Transmission: “If he just dies like this, it is too easy for him. Give him to me. I will make sure he learns what it means to want to live but not be able to, and to want to die but not be allowed.”

Master Qing Yan’s brows relaxed a little when he heard this.

Indeed, back then Wu Shao Zhen had caused Yu Zhao to suffer years of mockery. One slap that killed him would not completely vent his anger.

Wu Shao Zhen should also suffer the torment of Gu insects and never be free for the rest of his life.

“Fine.”

He nodded in agreement and withdrew his aura.

Everyone finally relaxed. They had managed to talk him down.

Wanderer Bao Hua looked at the half dead Wu Shao Zhen lying on the ground. A smile bloomed at the corner of her lips.

She had only planned to come and watch the excitement. She never thought she would be able to pick up a treasure and take it back. She had really made a big profit.

“Wuji, my good disciple, come here.”

Yao Wu Jiheard his master’s call and walked forward with stiff shoulders.

Wanderer Bao Hua pointed at Wu Shao Zhen on the ground and said: “I will leave this person to you. Take him to be treated. When he has mostly recovered, we will go back.”

The reason Wanderer Bao Hua stayed here was because she felt that her luck had been good recently. If she stayed a bit longer and could pick up another treasure, it would be a shame to miss it.

Anyway, Wu Shao Zhen’s cultivation level was lower than Wuji’s. He could not stir up any big waves.

Yao Wuji’s face lit up with joy. He quickly agreed and happily dragged Wu Shao Zhen away.
