Chapter 572: Chapter 565: The Sect Hierarch’s Fury

"What’s the big issue?"

Startled awake, Ye Zhen immediately sat up and stared at Tian Guizhang, who had burst in. Still rubbing his eyes, his gaze was somewhat vacant.

The next moment, when Ye Zhen saw the light purple bed curtains and smelled the faint scent of rouge in the air, he was completely stupefied.

Subconsciously, he looked beside him, and at that moment, Ye Zhen suddenly felt like a dream had become reality.

Seeing no one beside him, he breathed a sigh of relief but felt vaguely disappointed at the same time.

"How did I end up here? Where is this?"

"How would I know why you are here? I ran to your Spirit Academy early in the morning but couldn’t find you, so I came here and asked Master Fengh and found out you stayed here last night."

"Such a strong smell of alcohol, were you drunk last night? With whom? Master Fengh? Both of your cultivations are not low, how could you have gotten drunk? You two...." Tian Guizhang’s gossiping heart suddenly ignited, bombarding with a myriad of questions.

"Speak up, what’s the big issue?" Ye Zhen glared at Tian Guizhang annoyedly, his mind filled with scenes from the dream.

After looking around carefully, Tian Guizhang finally suppressed his burning gossip and mysteriously said to Ye Zhen, "Do you know how many people from the Longevity Sect died last night?"

"The Longevity Sect? How could people from the Longevity Sect die...." Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhen’s slow thoughts finally caught up, his face showing shock. "You mean, someone invaded the Longevity Sect last night? Because of that rumor? It came true so quickly?"

"Yes, indeed it came true, and quite spectacularly so!"

"From midnight last night until now, the Talisman Communication above the Longevity Sect Headquarters hasn’t stopped. It’s said that even the Longevity Sect Master, Yin Changsheng, was shaken," Tian Guizhang explained.

"Such a big fuss, really?" Ye Zhen found it hard to believe.

"Not really?" Tian Guizhang’s eyes widened, "Today’s commotion is only bigger than you think!"

As he spoke, Tian Guizhang held up three fingers to Ye Zhen.

"Thirty-seven corpses!"

Just this morning, the Longevity Sect incinerated thirty-seven fresh corpses atop their sacred fire, most of them Guardians, and at least two Guardian Venerables!

Do you know the Guardian Venerables of the Longevity Sect? Only those strong enough to reach the Vein Forging Realm could become Guardian Venerables of the Longevity Sect! And that’s not all!" Tian Guizhang gestured for Ye Zhen to come closer.

As Ye Zhen leaned in, Tian Guizhang lowered his voice and said, "According to our secret agent planted within the Longevity Sect, besides the thirty-seven who died, fifteen are missing, including at least one Guardian Venerable."

"How are there missing people, what happened?" Ye Zhen was puzzled.

"Don’t you understand? Those highly skilled martial artists stealthily infiltrated the Longevity Sect and would naturally take care of the Longevity Sect’s agents guarding the headquarters, to prevent the sect from discovering the infiltration. That’s how these warriors went missing!" Tian Guizhang whispered.

Ye Zhen was stunned.

"Overnight, more than fifty warriors from the Longevity Sect fell in battle, including three from the Vein Forging Realm? The power of that rumor of mine really is great, huh? Satisfying! Now, Duan Yingnian must be suffering!" Ye Zhen murmured.

"Yes, and at least three Vein Forging Realm powerhouses, possibly even four or five!" Tian Guizhang added.

"What about the invaders?" Ye Zhen asked.

"The invaders reportedly numbered nearly twenty, though their exact number is unclear. Two were killed on the spot, several were severely injured, and the rest escaped!" Tian Guizhang said.

"So, only two were left, and within the headquarters, too. The Longevity Sect is really incompetent, aren’t they?" Ye Zhen was astonished.

"Incompetent, the Longevity Sect? Do you know that among the warriors who tried to enter the Longevity Sect last night, one was definitely a King of the Establishment Realm, and another was suspected to be a King of the Establishment Realm.

Among the Eight Divine Generals of the Longevity Sect, Divine General Pan was severely injured, Vermilion Bird Hall Master Duan Yingnian was severely injured and fell unconscious, and in the end, even the Great Formation of the Altar Guard was activated! You can imagine the crisis Longevity Sect faced last night!" Tian Guizhang said.

"Listening to you, it seems quite formidable! But it serves them right!"

"If they hadn’t tried to kill me, to slander me and put me on the Soul Hook Ledger, none of this would have happened. Now, they should know better, right? Regretting provoking and framing me now?" Ye Zhen sneered.

"They might curse, but they definitely won’t regret it! And you need to be very careful lately, watch out for the Longevity Sect’s retaliation," Tian Guizhang said.

"Retaliation? I am in the Divine Sect, why should I be afraid of them? Moreover, in a month or two, once my cultivation has improved, what do I have to fear?" Ye Zhen sneered.

"You still don’t understand the extent of the Longevity Sect’s losses! Just last night, aside from the Longevity Sect Headquarters, several subdivisions of the Longevity Sect with High Grade Spirit Veins were infiltrated by masters, some of which suffered heavy losses.

With such heavy losses, the Longevity Sect definitely won’t stay silent; they are bound to seek revenge, and they’ll stop at nothing!" Tian Guizhang said.

"Stop at nothing? They need the energy to deal with me first. For a long time, the Longevity Sect will be too preoccupied with this rumor to focus on anything else!" Ye Zhen said.

"That may be true, but you still need to be cautious lately. I have to go now. With such a drastic change within the Longevity Sect, we in the Sun and Moon Divine Sect must plan well and seize some benefits!" With that, Tian Guizhang stepped outside and soared into the sky.

"Keep me updated with the latest news from the Longevity Sect!" Ye Zhen shouted.

"Got it!" Tian Guizhang’s voice came faintly from the sky.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ye Zhen circulated his spiritual power, releasing a strong aroma of alcohol. In just half a quarter-hour, Ye Zhen became unusually sober.

Last night’s events were somewhat blurry for Ye Zhen at this point; he only remembered mistaking Feng Qingyue for Caiyi, then he had touched Feng Qingyue’s pretty face, even attempting to pull her in for a kiss, before his memory became fuzzy right there.

It was hard for it not to be fuzzy, given the rather potent Ziling Brew they had drunk. He and Feng Qingyue had downed thirteen jars, without circulating their Spiritual Power to sober up.

Now, what Ye Zhen wanted to know the most was whether he had actually kissed Feng Qingyue or not.

However, Ye Zhen didn’t know, but someone else did, and would tell Ye Zhen.

Of course, that person was definitely not Feng Qingyue, but... Wang Xiaomao!

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Wang Xiaomao, who had always stayed in Ye Zhen’s embrace, possessed exceptional Spirit Wisdom. It could now communicate with Ye Zhen through Divine Sense and could surely reveal what had happened.

With a thought to his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen instinctively reached into his embrace, only to grasp at thin air. His expression suddenly stiffened; the next moment, he bolted out of the guest room like a rabbit, heading straight for the front courtyard.

That the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was not in his arms made Ye Zhen immediately panic.

In Ye Zhen’s Spirit Perception, there were people in the front courtyard, and there too was the aura of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

"Qingyue, I heard that Hanjing troubled you again yesterday?"

In the front courtyard, Feng Qingyue was holding a black-and-white kitten in her arms, which was extremely well-behaved under her gentle strokes.

Of course, if one observed carefully, especially when Ye Zhen appeared here, one could see the full extent of grievance in the eyes of the kitten in Feng Qingyue’s arms.

Behind her, a young martial artist dressed in white, wearing a carefree scarf, looked at Feng Qingyue with concern.

Though Feng Qingyue continued to pet the kitten, she completely ignored the young martial artist.

"Qingyue, don’t worry. Just wait another half a year, after I win first place at the Spirit Returning Assembly and attain a high position in the Divine Sect, I’ll be able to help you deal with that demon woman!"

"No need, I will deal with that demon woman myself! Do not trouble yourself, Young Master Nian!" said Feng Qingyue coldly.

"Qingyue..."

A trace of awkwardness flashed across the face of the young martial artist in white as he looked at the kitten in Feng Qingyue’s arms and suddenly said, "Eh, Qingyue, when did you adopt a kitten? It seems so full of spiritual energy..."

"Wang Xiaomao!"

At that moment, Ye Zhen sprinted from the back yard like lightning, wearing only his undergarments, his feet bare, and his hair disheveled.

"Meow!"

Upon seeing Ye Zhen, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten meowed softly, its voice full of boundless grievance.

"Phew!"

Ye Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, "So you were here; you scared me to death!"

Looking at Ye Zhen who had rushed out from the back yard in his undergarments and bare feet, the young man dressed in white simply stood there dumbfounded.

Looking at Ye Zhen in his undergarments and disheveled state and then back at Feng Qingyue, his eyes filled with disbelief and incredulity.

"He... he... who is he? How could he... appear like this... in... in your back yard?" The young man in white stammered looking at Ye Zhen’s disheveled state.

"You woke up?"

Feng Qingyue did not even acknowledge the young man in white, instead, she spoke to Ye Zhen, "You were drunk last night; I was helping you to rest, and this little guy firmly refused, even bared its teeth at me, so I took it in! I didn’t expect it to have such spirit nature!"

"Meow!"

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten meowed pitifully at Ye Zhen again, and Ye Zhen mostly understood what had happened.

"It didn’t hurt you, did it?"

"Not at all, just too mischievous. But after a morning of training, it has already become obedient!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Wang Xiaomao. A morning’s training making the normally fierce Cloud Winged Tiger King kitten docile—what kind of training was that?

As Ye Zhen and Feng Qingyue conversed, completely ignoring the young man in white next to them, this caused Young Master Nian to grow desperate.

Clang!

The moment the sword left its scabbard, a flash of white light furiously struck towards Ye Zhen, and at the same time, Young Master Nian bellowed at Ye Zhen.

"Tell me, who exactly are you, and how could you appear like this... in Qingyue’s courtyard?"

.....

Almost at the same time as Young Master Nian roared, within the Longevity Sect Headquarters, the Longevity Sect Master Yin Changsheng clad in a Yin Yang Taoist robe and wearing a Jade Crown, furiously pointed at the Vermilion Bird Hall Master Duan Yingnian, who was kneeling on the ground covered in blood, and demanded,

"Tell me, what exactly is going on here?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com) with a recommendation ticket or a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
