Chapter 263: Chapter 142 Three Beauties, Three Void Bodies

"Zhou Lingzhe, what’s wrong with my sister? Has she wronged you? What do you mean by speaking this way? Could it be that you suspect she’s the one who made a move?"

Gongcheng Die Wu didn’t explain, instead, it was Gongcheng Qingyang who stepped forward, his gaze somewhat cold as he stared at Zhou Yan.

"She doesn’t have the ability to interfere while I am deriving the array, but she knows, someone can! And she also knows that such a scene will inevitably occur, by which time even if all others die, she will not."

Zhou Yan looked at Gongcheng Qingyang with a mocking glance, his voice filled with irony.

"Nonsense, my sister would harm me? Would she harm the Zhou Family’s many geniuses? Would she make enemies with powerful families like the Huangfu and Yang Families from other realms? It’s simply ludicrous!"

Gongcheng Qingyang said indignantly.

He respected Zhou Yan, admired Zhou Yan, and recognized Zhou Yan’s strength, but that didn’t mean he could accept such slander against him.

And it was precisely because he respected and admired Zhou Yan that he couldn’t stand the other party slandering his relatives in return.

"I don’t need to explain anything to you, tell your sister to restrain herself, and let that pair of people in colorful clothes honestly step aside, otherwise, I won’t let them get their way!"

Zhou Yan looked at Gongcheng Die Wu coldly, though he said it for Gongcheng Qingyang to hear, in reality, everyone present could hear their conversation.

At this moment, the expressions of Gongcheng Die Wu, Zhou Yuntian, Zhou Taiting, and others changed drastically, as if they were horrified to discover that Zhou Yan seemed to know much more than they did.

To most, wouldn’t this be alarming the snake by beating the grass?

But at this time, Zhou Yan was intentionally ’beating the grass to alarm the snake’, because only in this way could he suddenly disrupt their plans and seize more opportunities when they changed their plans.

Now, this game could no longer proceed according to the established plan.

Because Zhuge Chunqiu was the one Zhou Yan deliberately left behind to face that monster.

He needed time, opportunity, and he also needed to make a trip to Tianji Mountain.

And Zhou Yan believed that at the moment of Zhuge Chunqiu’s certain death, there would be the power to return to Tianji Mountain and save one’s own life.

This was Zhou Yan’s method.

His calculations were watertight; after Yanyan left, Zhou Yan took his time in the Purple Flame Void to derive millions of plans and possibilities, thinking about how to face them better.

Zhou Yan was no fool, especially after spending time breaking games, how could he let anyone lead him by the nose again?

Now, no one could fathom his actions anymore.

"Zhou Lingzhe... what do you mean?"

Gongcheng Die Wu gasped in shock but still asked with a trembling voice.

"What do I mean? Fairy Cai Xuan understands very well, doesn’t she?"

There was a playful tone in Zhou Yan’s speech.

"Zhou Lingzhe, what you say about Cai Xuan... ignorant, I don’t understand."

Cai Xuan was taken aback for a moment, her face showing a hint of panic, which she quickly subdued.

"Cai Xuan, there’s no need to pretend anymore, you are nothing but a Void Body of Cai Ling, and you still want to continue pretending to be infatuated with me, Zhou Yan? And that Cai Ling, really impressive, now actually trying to take on the identity of another person who has a great relationship with me to test me.

Now, I am not afraid to admit, the background behind me is far more terrifying than you can imagine. So you don’t have to make pointless attempts.

I just want to complete this task now, and then attempt to break through to the Sword Soul Realm. Either I die, or I succeed.

If I succeed, I will have another exchange with you, but if I fail, I will not let anyone possess my body, if you don’t believe it and aren’t afraid of dying, come and try to seize my body."

Zhou Yan glanced at Gongcheng Die Wu again, but turned his eyes to the always low-key Fairy Cai Xuan, who had been looking at him with adoring, infatuated, and even somewhat fanatical eyes.

"You... you know everything."

At this moment, Cai Xuan was no longer so respectful; her eyes suddenly became extremely complicated, yet there was also a hint of relief.

She let out a wry smile and admitted it.

Zhou Yan’s heart grew colder, and he instantly knew that his conjecture had been correct, so his mood grew even more solemn.

But he would not show it.

"In fact, I know, but I really don’t care."

Zhou Yan also let out a wry smile, with no great emotion, just a slightly bitter smile.

No one knew what he was feeling at that time.

But Cai Xuan, at that moment, seemed to understand a bit. Only those who have suffered understand what another person’s agony feels like.

She understood, but was powerless to help, blaming only the cruel and ruthless Fate of Heaven and Earth.

"I know you don’t really believe, but your belief or disbelief is irrelevant to me. Since I discovered the Emperor Qi Sword Body little Chen, I was just fulfilling the responsibility of a father, treating him as a child.

I don’t know about the Sword Dao I, Zhou Yan, am cultivating, but there’s an inexplicable sense of guilt, as if I owe everything to the child, so when I see children, I feel an inexplicable concern.

Little Chen... I really didn’t think too much about it.

I just hope that he can live well, happily and carefree.

As for the Emperor Blood, offering it to me? I actually don’t believe that, even if I am willing to become the Ding Furnace for the Emperor Sword Lineage’s little Chen, you might not be willing to give up the Emperor Blood.

And on the Lonely Sword Peak, the presence of that Lonely Sword Intent actually made me realize that you, Cai Xuan, are just a Void Body—but before then, I wasn’t certain."
