Chapter 32 Burning with jealousy, he demanded she belong entirely to him! ...
"What arrogance!"
Qi Cang's forehead veins bulged, and even the brocade robe he was wearing tore open with a ripping sound, revealing his strong and muscular arms.
Qi Cang was puzzled as to how this seemingly frail man possessed such strength, managing to press down and stop the sword that was slashing at him.
"Take this!"
He had no choice but to use all his strength to resist, while his left hand formed a hand seal, conjuring a dagger in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.
Bai Yuheng had sharp eyes. With a flick of her left hand, a golden ribbon flew out from her sleeve, ensnaring the dagger that was thrust at her. Meanwhile, taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, she transformed the golden sword that had been suppressing him from its hardness into a snake, swiftly binding his hand and twisting it inward. He cried out in pain, the sword fell to the ground, and his left hand was once again bound by the cool, slippery ribbon.
"Do you admit defeat or not?"
"I don't accept it!" Qi Cang struggled, his hands transforming into sharp blades, slicing open the ribbons binding him.
"Interesting. Then you'll have to go all out."
Her words easily ignited his anger again.
His seemingly haphazard hacking and slashing was actually an attempt to trap her in a magical array.
Bai Yuheng stepped back, the golden snake in her wrist transforming into a fully drawn bow, which shot towards him. He cleaved it in two, and in that instant, it transformed back into a golden snake that quickly coiled around his arms, twisting his hands and causing him to scream in agony. Then, it transformed into a rope, binding him and rendering him unable to move.
"white!--"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp sword was pressed against his shoulder.
"..."
"good!!!"
The crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a fierce shout.
Qi Cang was tied up so that only his head could move.
He slumped down: "...I lost."
Bai Yuheng retracted the golden snake into her wrist.
Freed from his restraints, Qi Cang collapsed with a thud, but Bai Yuheng reacted quickly and caught him.
Are you alright?
"fine……"
Qi Cang propped himself up, moving his aching muscles and bones from being flipped around, his eyes solemn.
"I lost, and I accept my defeat. From now on, you will be the leader of the Four Tyrants of Yunzhong," he said frankly.
Bai Yuheng raised her eyebrows but did not agree. Instead, she said, "I also want to apologize to you. I'm sorry, I didn't really mean to slander you... Um, Emperor Hengluan, I'm sorry."
"Hmph. I accept your apology." Qi Cang snorted twice, his nostrils flaring.
"Okay, I'll accept it."
"And what about you?" Qi Cang looked at her. "Would you like to be one of the Four Overlords of Yunzhong?"
"I'll do it! Of course I'll do it!" Bai Yuheng didn't hesitate. "I've never been a boss before!"
"Oh, that's fine then."
"but……"
Qi Cangxin's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at her: "But what?"
“The Four Hegemons of the Clouds doesn’t sound good.” Bai Yuheng pretended to think. Just as Qi Cang was about to object, she added, “Let’s change it to the Five Hegemons of the Clouds.”
"How about I'll be the boss and you be the second-in-command?"
"..." Qi Cang breathed a sigh of relief, blushed, nodded in agreement, and turned his head to the side, "Mm."
"..."
"Snap!"
What was that noise?
Upon hearing the sound, Nan Yuezhu withdrew her gaze from the arena and scanned the area, searching for the source of the sound.
Pei Yuan calmly patted the dust off his hands and said indifferently, "It's nothing, just that the chair was old and broken."
"..." Nan Yuezhu glanced at the round-backed chair he was sitting in, the armrests on both sides were broken in two, then glanced at the dust on the ground, and finally looked at her own chair, secretly exerted force, and fell silent.
Zhu Sanhua, who was standing next to her, chuckled softly with an ambiguous meaning.
Finally, Pei Yuan gave him a faint look, and the words he wanted to say immediately got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a sound.
Pei Yuan's gaze fell on the two seemingly intimate and chatting happily on the arena. The jealousy that had finally subsided in his heart began to burn again, almost burning away his previous rationality.
He didn't care whether she was heartless or desireless; he didn't care.
He now not only wants her to live, but also wants her to belong to him completely!
anyway!
*
Inside the Chongyang Palace.
The selected individuals stood inside the hall, awaiting instructions from the elders of each sect.
"Where are Cui Mingcan and Li Tiankuo?" Bai Yuheng stood beside Cen Ying and whispered to her.
Cen Ying shook his head, about to speak, when he saw a woman beside him who was pale and swaying precariously.
"careful!"
Cen Ying didn't even bother to talk to her and went forward to treat the person.
"how's it going?"
After Cen Ying released his hand, Emperor Yuan Guang took over to check his pulse.
"His internal organs are damaged, and his cultivation level has been greatly reduced. If he is not treated in time, his life may be in danger."
"Yan Li, carry her away, use the Gu Yuan Dan to stabilize her primordial spirit, and then decoct a batch of freshly picked and dried herbs and feed it to her."
"It's Master!" Yan Li quickly took the person away to treat him.
After a brief commotion, Li Tiankuo, whom the two had been talking about, finally arrived.
"Why did you take so long to arrive?" Cen Ying couldn't help but ask him.
"Something's up."
After he finished speaking, he didn't explain any further. Although Cen Ying was curious, she didn't press him for an answer since he remained silent.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start assigning tasks to each other."
“Cen Ying, Bai Yuheng, Liao Mingyuan, Chen Jiaqi, Jiang Anlan…” Yuan Guang Dijun paused, looked at the sect leader of Jianhe Sect, and said, “Jiang Anlan’s internal energy was damaged just now and she needs a long period of rest. Therefore, her ranking will be moved up one place. Does anyone have any objections?”
The group exchanged glances, then said, "No objections."
"Alright, after Jiang Anlan is—Li Tiankuo." Emperor Yuanguang glanced at Li Tiankuo. "Would you like to join?"
"This disciple is willing."
Emperor Yuanguang nodded. "You five will form a team. We will inform you after the mission."
After saying that, he continued to read out the names of other teams.
"Where's Cui Mingcan? I haven't seen him." Cen Ying frowned and glanced around the hall with concern.
"I heard his name just now, I guess he's still on his way?" Bai Yuheng guessed.
Although they can no longer be together, it is extremely rare and remarkable that they were all able to advance to the Hall of Fame.
After all the teams were assigned, except for Bai Yuheng's team which had no specific task, the other teams left with the mission of capturing the monsters that were plaguing the human world.
"The task I'm about to tell you must not be known to anyone other than you," Emperor Dongxuan said in a low voice.
"This is a compass made of the same material as the square mirror, which will allow you to perceive the location of the square mirror fragments."
Each of the five people received a compass no bigger than the palm of their hand.
Xie Yihong glanced at Liao Mingyuan, who seemed completely unconcerned, and asked, "Would you like to go together as a team?"
Emperor Yuanguang glanced at her and then sought the opinions of the four of them.
Liao Mingyuan pursed his lips and spoke first: "Your Majesty, Sect Leader, this disciple thinks it will be faster to search separately, and—" He paused, glanced at the group of women, and his lips unconsciously turned down, "I think I can do it by myself. If they can't, then let them form a team."
Chen Jiaqi, who had been silent, nodded and said, "I also think this decision is very good. Acting alone is always faster than acting together."
"..."
Xie Yihong sighed helplessly, feeling annoyed by Liao Mingyuan's arrogant words. This disciple was just like that, always relying on his extraordinary talent and being arrogant. But since she wasn't his master, she couldn't discipline him too much. So she said, "What do you all think? I agree with Mingyuan's suggestion to search separately, as it would be faster."
"But you will inevitably encounter various troubles during the search, and without the cooperation of a team, it is easier for problems to arise."
Yuan Guang Dijun also said, "Furthermore, we still do not know who is behind the curtain that wants to steal the Four Directions Mirror. Without knowing their identity or strength, it is even more dangerous to act alone."
Liao Mingyuan said, "Your Majesty need not worry. With my strength, finding something is more than enough. Even if we encounter thieves, my magic array will surely defeat them all and we can complete the mission smoothly."
"..."
The elders remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
Xie Yihong felt that this person was arrogant and conceited, and said sternly, "Alright, stop talking."
He then turned to them and said, "Since there are differences, you should discuss it yourselves."
The thing a team fears most is disagreement.
The group responded, "Yes."
After leaving Chongguang Hall.
After bidding them farewell, Chen Jiaqi hurriedly left. Liao Mingyuan followed behind them, glanced at them, and said disdainfully, "This young master will absolutely not travel with you. Don't try anything with me. I will explain to the elders and sect leader myself."
Cen Ying retorted angrily, "Who cares? We have better options. Who wants you?"
"Heh, you mean your crybaby friend?" Liao Mingyuan covered his mouth and laughed. "I beat him so badly he lost all face, and now he's hiding somewhere crying his eyes out!"
"you!"
Cen Ying was so angry that she wanted to tear his arrogant and contemptuous face to shreds.
Bai Yuheng stopped Cen Ying, pulled her behind her, and said with a smile, "Brother Liao, are you really that confident?"
Liao Mingyuan glanced at her: "Of course. My magic array is one of the best in the entire world, even surpassing my master."
"..." Bai Yuheng didn't expect him to be so audacious, and nodded knowingly, "Dare to make a bet with me?"
He finally deigned to look her in the eye: "What bet?"
"First, we bet we'll find all the fragments of the Four Directions Mirror before you do."
Bai Yuheng extended her second finger, and the little golden snake coiled up, its golden-red vertical pupils staring intently at him, causing him to tremble and take a few steps back.
"Secondly, how about you and Cui Mingcan have another match after we finish our mission?"
"how?"
Bai Yuheng looked at him with a smile. Liao Mingyuan swallowed hard, as if he were hallucinating. In her eyes, he saw terrifying vertical pupils exactly like those of the golden snake, staring at him sinisterly. Liao Mingyuan panicked and quickly looked away: "Fine! Let's bet! What if you lose?"
Bai Yuheng calmly lowered her eyes and stroked the docile little golden snake: "I will do as you see fit."
"Fine!" Liao Mingyuan sneered. "Then you can just wait to admit defeat!"
Having said that, he quickly left the place as if fleeing.
"Yu'er?"
Bai Yuheng smiled and said, "It's alright, trust me, and trust him too."
The Four Directions Mirror recognizes its master, and her primordial spirit resides within it. If he can truly bring the Four Directions Mirror back, then her name will be written backwards.
“Let’s go find Cui Mingcan,” Bai Yuheng said with a smile. “Let’s try to coax him and see if he’s willing to come with us.”
Cen Ying smiled mysteriously and happily replied, "Okay!"
Li Tiankuo nodded in agreement.
