Chapter 1066 - 1066 1052 Sudden Realization

Chapter 1066: Chapter 1052: Sudden Realization Chapter 1066: Chapter 1052: Sudden Realization Suddenly, the courtyard was left with only Yuan Jingxing.

He organized his thoughts and pondered the words Jiang Shizi had just said, wondering if the matter could indeed have been Su Zhanze’s doing. He knew Su Zhanze had the power to summon a group of Immortal City disciples, and more importantly, he was proficient in Ren Xiongbei’s martial arts. The most crucial point was that Su Zhanze possessed a Heavenly Pearl, which could be mistaken for an Immortal Pearl, so it was possible. There was also the matter of Xiang Zi, who was arranged to be close to Ren Xiongbei.

Xiong Shuobo had witnessed it at the scene. Su Zhanze could achieve all of this, and what was most important was that he had heard that those people were masked that day.

Night fell, and Yuan Jingxing was alone in the courtyard. Jiang Shizi couldn’t stay there and had run off somewhere, leaving the surroundings in silence. At that moment, someone walked into the courtyard from outside.

It was Su Zhanze, wearing a mask. Earlier that day, in the grand hall, a new Sect Leader was re-elected, and Yuan Jingxing had unhesitatingly stood by Su Zhanze’s side. He was very happy that he could regain his position as the Sect Leader of the Immortal City.

“Are you alone here? Where is that girl Jiang Shizi?” The courtyard was a bit dark, and Su Zhanze walked towards him.

Yuan Jingxing said with a smile, “How could she stay in the courtyard? She has already run off to play with other girls.”

“Is that so, very good. Although the courtyard is a bit small, don’t worry, now that I’m back, I will definitely speed up the rebuilding of Immortal City.”

Yuan Jingxing said contentedly, “Ah, it’s not that small, it has everything one needs. I quite like it being compact yet refined.”

Su Zhanze laughed and said, “How can you be satisfied so easily.”

In comparison to Su Zhanze, who had even destroyed his own face, Yuan Jingxing had learned to be content and said, “What’s most important is that everyone is well. I’m very happy to see you again.”

Su Zhanze smiled faintly and said, “Hmm, of so many people, it seems only you care about whether I live or die.”

Yuan Jingxing shook his head and said, “No, there’s one more person.”

“Who?”

Yuan Jingxing replied, “Guo Yuqing. Although she can’t forgive you for Guo Mingyu’s death, she’s still very worried about you. Especially when I told her that you were going to kill Longhun, she was very anxious and even got angry that I didn’t stop you. Later, when she learned that you had been thrown off the cliff, she also searched the cliffs with me. When we thought you had died, she cried, crying very sadly indeed.”

Upon hearing this, Su Zhanze suddenly fell silent.

“I’m not lying to you. Even though she can’t forgive what you’ve done, you’re still in her heart, I know that, and that girl Jiang Shizi knows it too,” Yuan Jingxing continued, “You don’t need to rush, those things have already happened, it’ll take some time to get past them. I believe that, slowly, you can surely bring her back to your side.”

“Is she doing well?”

“Ye Chen has died, her sister was revived but it’s definitely not easy for her to move on, her father has passed away, and her stepmother will also need some time to recover. It seems she will have to work hard, but don’t worry, everything has now stabilized, and I believe she will be able to overcome it all.”

Su Zhanze murmured, “It must have been hard for her.”

“If she knew you were still alive, she would surely be very happy.”

Hearing this, he became serious and touched his face with his hand, but what he felt was the mask. As soon as he thought of his own appearance and how seeing Guo Yuqing might frighten her, he suddenly became disheartened and said, “I’m afraid she won’t want to see what I look like now.”

Hearing that, Yuan Jingxing quickly said, “We can look for a divine healer, surely we can gradually restore your face.”

“If it could have been restored, it would have been done long ago, not waited until now,” Su Zhanze said, very disheartened.

“Hey, Guo Yuqing is not that kind of person.”

“She still hasn’t forgiven me to this day,” Su Zhanze said, becoming even more disheartened, clearly lacking in confidence.

“Stop overthinking. Take things slowly; you are still husband and wife, after all, that’s an unchangeable fact,” Yuan Jingxing poured a cup of tea for Su Zhanze.

Su Zhanze took the cup and sipped it, saying nothing.

Yuan Jingxing suddenly changed the topic, asking with suspicion, “I’ve heard that those who stole the Dragon Slayer Sword were a group skilled in the Dragon Slaying Clan’s martial arts.”

Looking over, Su Zhanze said, “Yes, they were a group from the Dragon Slaying Clan.” He did not deny it.

Yuan Jingxing said, “How did you come to be with the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan?” He was obviously very puzzled.

Su Zhanze explained, “This group from the Dragon Slaying Clan is not the same group that Longhun leads. They are followers of Shi Yin Zun, and they have a grudge with Longhun. They’re seeking revenge against Longhun, and since I too wanted to kill Longhun, I cooperated with them. It just hasn’t been successful. As you know, with my abilities alone, it’s impossible to kill Longhun. At that time, I couldn’t find you to help, so I had no choice but to seek them out.”

Yuan Jingxing continued, “I heard that Longhun was captured in Bell and Drum City, also by people from the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Su Zhanze didn’t want to deny it, after all, he still trusted Yuan Jingxing, and he said, “Yes, indeed, I captured Longhun.”

“Have you killed Longhun?”

“No, originally we planned to take away the Dark Beast from his body, drain his martial strength, and then kill him, but unexpectedly, an accident occurred.”

“Was he rescued?”

“Correct, he was rescued. Right now, I also do not know his whereabouts, but he likely escaped with a group of remnants,” Su Zhanze looked over as he spoke.

Jiang Shizi was about to return to the courtyard when she heard people talking. The voice seemed to be Su Zhanze’s, so she did not enter immediately.

She heard Yuan Jingxing say, “I only have one last question: was the ambush on Fang Ziren your doing?”

Su Zhanze was still somewhat surprised, turned his head, and asked, “Why do you think I would do such a thing?”

Yuan Jingxing said, “Others might not know that you know Ren Xiongbei’s ‘Xionghun Palm Technique’, but I do. Even if Ren Xiongbei had ambitions, it’s unlikely his martial arts would have driven Fang Ziren to madness. He and Fang Ziren are no different from each other, but you possess the skills, and most importantly, you placed Xiang Zi by Ren Xiongbei’s side. You know him like the back of your hand and could frame Ren Xiongbei for it.”

At that moment, Jiang Shizi was stunned.

She heard Su Zhanze say, “That’s right, it wasn’t Ren Xiongbei who did it, it was me.”

“You drove Fang Ziren mad?”

Now agitated, Su Zhanze shouted, “Yes, I drove Fang Ziren mad, he deserved it! To rescue them, I acted prematurely and fell into Longhun’s trap. Wrapped in evil Qi, I encountered him. Instead of helping, he struck me with his palm and threw me off the cliff. How else could I have ended up in this state? It’s all thanks to his palm strike.” He didn’t intend to hide it.

Yuan Jingxing understood, then asked, “So, the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual is in your hands, and none of this has anything to do with Ren Xiongbei and Ren Haotian.”

“Correct, those two don’t have the brains for such a scheme.”

Jiang Shizi hadn’t expected that it was really him who did it.

Yuan Jingxing said, “Your actions could kill Ren Xiongbei and Ren Haotian. They are now being hunted with nowhere to go.”

“I didn’t think that much. But Ren Xiongbei is not a good person. My current predicament is partly his fault. If he hadn’t sneaked away at the time, we wouldn’t have been captured, Longhun wouldn’t have threatened me with you all, and I would not have been separated from Guo Yuqing, subject to public shaming! He’s nothing but a hypocrite and someone who only dreams of being Sect Leader.”

Having heard this, Yuan Jingxing said, “Even if he is at fault, he does not deserve such a fate. Perhaps you just wanted to ruin him and take over as Sect Leader of Immortal City Sect.” He spoke directly, as it was easy to understand the motives behind the actions, which seemed quite obvious.

Su Zhanze didn’t respond, and after a moment of silence, he gestured dismissively and yelled, “Both of them are no good, they deserve it! I’ve ended up like this, and yet you say they’re without fault!”

“I’m not saying they are without fault, but this could kill them,” said Yuan Jingxing. He had heard that just last night, if it hadn’t been for Ren Xiongbei using a fake Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, they would have been captured already. He could imagine that if they were really caught, the outcome would be dire as those people would definitely torment them fiercely.

“I didn’t think that much,” Su Zhanze sat down, his presence as furious as a murderer’s. He also knew, even if he told Yuan Jingxing, Yuan Jingxing wouldn’t chatter about it.

The inside became quiet.

“Will you tell the outsiders that all of this was my doing?”

“I fear that even if I did tell them, no one would believe me. But rest assured, I won’t tell. You know what kind of person I am; otherwise, you wouldn’t have told me all this.”

Jiang Shizi suddenly understood, realizing that indeed it was killing two birds with one stone: not only could he get revenge, but he could also eliminate Ren Xiongbei from his position as Sect Leader. Such ruthless determination.

She had never imagined Su Zhanze turning out like this. When she first heard that Su Zhanze had ended up this way in his attempt to kill Longhun and save the people of the Immortal and Demon realms, she was somewhat moved. She even thought about how she could mediate between him and Guo Yuqing. But now, that sense of being moved had vanished in an instant, replaced by a growing fear.
