"May I ask, Princess, why did you kill my daughter, Fang Qingzhu?" Fang Yuzhen asked in a trembling voice, suppressing her anger.
"Since Daoist Fang has already found out that I killed Fang Qingzhu and Ye Fu'er, does he not know the reason behind it? Does he not know their crimes?" Ye Xianya said with a half-smile.
"Regardless of their faults, it should be handled by my Biyun Temple. It is not up to others to interfere," Fang Yuzhen said loudly.
"Over the years, your daughter has devoured the essence and souls of dozens of people, all of whom were cultivators, in order to raise her Thread-Pulling Gu King. After killing them, she also stole their treasures. Such evil cultivation behavior deserves to be punished by everyone. I killed her to act on behalf of Heaven," Ye Xianya said with a righteous expression.
Fang Yuzhen's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Of course she knew her daughters had made a mistake.
The daughter killed someone in order to raise a poisonous insect.
But she had no idea that so many cultivators had died at her daughter's hands.
Even so, she was still her daughter, her only daughter. Even if her daughter had made a terrible mistake, she shouldn't have died!
Without her daughter, she felt like her world had collapsed!
"They both deserved to die. Even if you had gone to stop them in person that day, it would have been useless. Their souls would have been scattered to the winds."
As soon as Ye Xianya finished speaking, Fang Yuzhen took out a weapon from her Qiankun bag—an extremely sharp cold iron sword.
"Yuzhen, stop!" Feng Daozhi shouted and rushed forward to stop him.
Just then, the guards rushed in, wielding long swords, and surrounded Feng Daozhi and Fang Yuzhen.
"Does your Biyun Temple intend to rebel?" Qi Jiu slammed his hand on the table and shouted.
“Your Highness, please calm down. Daoist Fang was just too worried about his daughter and lost his composure. She would never rebel,” Feng Daozhi quickly said.
"Master Fang, quickly put away your weapon, lest you make a mistake. If you remain obstinate, there's no need for His Highness the Crown Prince to send someone to kill you. I, Feng Daozhi, will clean up the mess for the Ten Great Daoist Sects and kill you on the spot." Feng Daozhi turned his head and glared at Fang Yuzhen, shouting loudly.
Fang Yuzhen trembled all over upon hearing this, but she managed to calm down.
Because she couldn't beat that old man Feng Daozhi, he said he would kill her, and he wasn't joking.
If she dares to make another move, that old man will definitely take action.
He only cares about the common interests of the ten major Taoist sects and will not make an exception for her just because she is his junior brother's daughter.
"Your Highness, Princess, Master Fang has come to the palace today to request an audience with you both. He only wishes to know why the Princess killed Fang Qingzhu and Ye Fu'er. Given the crimes they committed, their souls should be scattered to the winds. The Princess did the right thing. We have disturbed you today. Farewell!"
Fang Yuzhen didn't want to leave; she wanted to kill Ye Xianya to avenge her daughter.
Unfortunately... with Feng Daozhi here, she had no chance at all.
As they exited the palace gates, Feng Daozhi's expression turned grim: "Did you already discover that your daughter and disciple had committed a grave error?"
Fang Yuzhen remained silent upon hearing this.
“You’re lying to me too. Since they were in the wrong first, according to the rules of the Taiyi Sect, they should have died. Why did you have to go to the palace?” Feng Daozhi sighed.
Isn't this just inviting humiliation?
"Thank you for troubling me today, Senior Uncle!" Fang Yuzhen said in a low voice, suppressing her anger and resentment.
She went to the palace to test the waters.
Although that brat Ye Xianya is also a cultivator, her aura isn't strong, so she's definitely no match for her.
As long as she finds out Ye Xianya's whereabouts, and as long as Ye Xianya leaves the capital, she will have the opportunity to kill her and avenge her daughter and disciple.
Her daughter, Qingzhu, is her only attachment in this world. Now, she only wants to avenge her daughter and doesn't care about anything else.
She didn't care about her own life or the Biyun Temple.
Her Daoist mind is in turmoil; she will likely find it difficult to move forward in the future.
Only by avenging her daughter can she continue to live and continue her spiritual practice.
Even if she becomes the enemy of the world because of this, even if she can no longer stay in the Great Yan Dynasty, she doesn't care.
At worst, she can go to the neighboring Kingdom of Zhuwu, or even further afield.
The world is vast, there is always a place for her.
No matter how powerful the Great Yan Dynasty was, it could not possibly control everything.
When Zhengzheng and Qi Chengshuo arrived, Feng Daozhi and Fang Yuzhen had just left a moment earlier.
"They didn't fight, did they?" Qi Chengshuo asked quickly.
"No!" Ye Xianya shook her head: "That Fang Yuzhen was very afraid of Master Feng. Even though he brought out his weapon, he still didn't dare to make a move in the end."
“This woman will definitely not let this go, Xianya. From today onwards, you must be extra careful when you go out,” Ye Miaoyun said hurriedly from the side.
She was extremely worried about her daughter's safety.
Every day before dawn, the daughter would go out with Zhengzheng to cultivate under the Zhu Guo tree.
This was never a secret.
As the abbess of Biyun Temple, Fang Yuzhen has a lot of connections, and she will definitely be able to find out Xianya's whereabouts quickly.
"Xianya, why don't you stay in the palace instead of going outside the city to cultivate these days?" Qi Jiu said hurriedly.
“Father, I am a cultivator, and I cannot give up my cultivation because of a minor setback. Even with Fang Yuzhen as a threat, I will not give up leaving the palace to cultivate.” Ye Xianya said with a sigh, “This world is not peaceful. Only if I am strong enough can I protect you.”
After hearing this, Qi Jiu said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "I thought that now that I'm the Crown Prince and will become the Emperor in the future, I'll be able to protect you and your daughter. I never expected... I'm finding this world increasingly incomprehensible."
"Father has been good enough. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Leave the rest to me," Ye Xianya said confidently.
“You can go if you want, but you can’t go alone. You have to have Zhengzheng accompany you every time, and Chengshuo too… Xianya, you should bring Chengshuo along as well,” Ye Miaoyun couldn’t help but say.
She was really worried about her daughter.
Didn't my daughter say that Qi Chengshuo is very powerful now, and even Zhengzheng can't beat him?
If they join forces, they should have nothing to fear from Fang Yuzhen.
Qi Chengshuo already liked her daughter very much, so he certainly wouldn't refuse her suggestion.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Miaoyun finished speaking, Qi Chengshuo's voice came to her ears.
"Xianya, I'll go with you."
“Sister!” Zhengzheng shook her head at Ye Xianya.
Please don't bring Qi Chengshuo along!
If this person is already so powerful, and he goes to the Vermilion Fruit Tree to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate, wouldn't I be unable to defeat him forever?
This Qi Chengshuo is simply inhuman!
Can a normal person be this amazing?
“Zhengzheng, if you and Xianya run into that bad woman, you’ll be in danger. With me here, even if we can’t beat her, I can at least hold her off for a while. You’re fast, so you can definitely get Xianya away,” Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.
Zhengzheng: "..."
