Shu Jianyue thought about it for a moment. She had originally wanted to shift the blame elsewhere, so she decided to do it that way.
So they knocked Ai Huannian unconscious, then had Chong Jiu remove the illusion array, and lured Gui Hai Fu Chen here, where the two of them hid.
To Shu Jianyue's surprise, Gui Hai Fuchen actually showed murderous intent towards Ai Huannian!
This suited her perfectly; she didn't even have to do anything to wake Ai Huannian up immediately.
Ai Huannian was already wondering why she had fainted, so when she regained consciousness, she immediately opened her eyes warily.
Upon opening his eyes, he immediately saw the murderous intent in Gui Hai Fu Chen's eyes. "What, you want to kill me?"
Gui Hai Fu Chen was taken aback and immediately denied it, saying, "How could that be? How could I dare? I killed a spirit beast when I came over, so I was a little unrestrained."
"Young Master Huan, what are you doing here? Who hurt you?"
Ai Huannian naturally didn't believe what he said, and stood up to look at him, "Heh, I just killed a spirit beast."
"What, do I look stupid and easy to fool? You don't smell of blood at all, and you just killed a spirit beast?"
"You want to kill me? Have you thought about the consequences?"
Ai Huannian thought for a moment and then laughed, "What, do you think you can subdue that divine beast and make it your own without me?"
"You think that obtaining a divine beast will allow you to surpass my Tiande Sect and shed the label of being a subordinate family of my Tiande Sect?"
"Heh, let me tell you, don't even think about it. You'll always be a slave or a dog. If you want to turn things around, you'd better find a god to help you. Otherwise, forget about it forever."
Gui Haifuchen's face turned ashen, but he knew Ai Huannian was right. If they wanted to break away from Tiande Sect, they would need a stronger backer.
A divine beast is one thing, but there must be more above the Divine Continent, otherwise even if they win, the Divine Continent backer of the Tiande Sect will definitely not let them off the hook.
Moreover, that divine beast was only able to fight Ai Huannian to a draw; if it were to truly face the Tiande Sect, it wouldn't even be enough to be a casualty.
Even though he wanted to endure it, he couldn't swallow this insult now. Slaves? Dogs? He had actually treated them like animals all along!
Gui Hai Fu Chen looked at Ai Huan Nian with eyes full of gloom, "Young Master Huan, we have done a lot for Tian De Sect over the years, aren't you going too far by saying this about us?"
Ai Huannian had maintained the amiable demeanor of a superior until now, but his expression was now slightly ferocious.
He recalled his earlier strange behavior and concluded that it must be him who was behind it, trying to steal the secrets of the Tiande Sect.
Therefore, he had to kill him and prevent others from finding out about those things, especially those so-called "insiders" in the Tiande Sect.
Ai Huannian took out his magical weapon and sneered at Gui Haifuchen, "Is it too much? I don't think so."
"You dare to scheme against me? You really have guts."
"Now, I'm going to kill you, you insolent bastard!" Ai Huannian said before attacking.
Gui Hai Fu Chen hurriedly took out his magical artifact to defend himself. "Young Master Huan, have you misunderstood something? I didn't try to steal the divine beast, nor did I scheme against you. Have you misunderstood something?"
But Ai Huannian wouldn't listen to his explanation. She was convinced that he had tried to kill her and that he was the one who made her faint.
Since they've betrayed us, why not kill them? Why keep them around for the New Year?
Seeing his fierce moves, Gui Haifuchen dared not be distracted any longer.
Moreover, his cultivation level was much lower than Ai Huannian's, so he knew without a doubt that he was no match for him. Therefore, he immediately sent a message to the family disciples who were searching outside.
However, he still underestimated Ai Huannian's ruthlessness. Before the Guihai family members arrived, he had already had Ai Huannian cut off one of his arms.
"Ah... Ai Huannian, are you really going to kill me?" Gui Haifuchen clutched his wound, his face pale as he glared at Ai Huannian.
"Heh, what else? Am I joking with you?" Ai Huannian flicked his sword, and it was clean and spotless, showing that it was a fine sword.
"You really go a long way with your jokes, you can even joke with your arm."
Ai Huannian raised his sword, glanced at him, and sneered, "You called for reinforcements, didn't you? But are they faster than my sword?"
Gui Hai Fu Chen's eyes were filled with terror, "You, aren't you afraid of our Gui Hai family..."
Ai Huannian didn't even need to wait for him to finish speaking before he knew what he wanted to say. He sneered, "What are you afraid of? Gui Haisheng has three sons. Even if one dies, you still have two. Do you think he would risk his life for you and my Tiande Sect?"
Even if he wanted to, would he dare?
"Besides, does he even have the ability?"
Guihai Fuchen had no rebuttal, because what he said was absolutely right.
Gui Haisheng is indeed that kind of person. If he loses himself, he might get angry at most, but he would never go against Tiande Sect for the sake of his own interests.
Moreover, he indeed lacked the strength to contend with the Tiande Sect.
Thinking of this, Gui Haifuchen gave up struggling, lay on the ground recalling everything that had just happened, and suddenly laughed, "Ai Huannian, you want to kill me just because I showed a little bit of killing intent."
"Don't you find it strange that you fainted here, and why you woke up as soon as I arrived?"
"Aren't you afraid it's a trap set by someone else?"
Ai Huannian tilted his head, looked down at him and smiled, "Of all the people who know we're here, only you guys do. Who set this trap to kill me?"
"Besides, you think I should believe you just because you arrived? And if someone wanted to kill me, they should have done so while I was unconscious..."
Thinking back to when he parted ways with Gui Hai Fu Chen, they went in opposite directions. Moreover, given Gui Hai Fu Chen's cultivation level, if he had followed, there was no way he wouldn't have noticed.
