866-The Bloodline of the Jiang Family Clan
The midget frowned slightly and looked towards Ling Yan. He hesitated for a while and said, “My highness… Will Miss Ye be alright? Perfected Gu Yun is strong. I can protect Miss Ye secretly. However… if we let her face him herself…”
Ling Yan said slowly, “So you’re saying that my decision is inappropriate?”
“I don’t dare to judge your decision!”
The midget kneeled on the ground with one leg immediately.
“Based on her karmic natal chart, her future will not be peaceful… If she remains as a flower in the greenhouse without going through any hardship, even I cannot change her destiny when she loses her own strength… Do you know how most of the powerful people’s offspring die?” Ling Yan said.
“Yes… whenever they face some problems, those powerful people will appear and solve them… This results in the children being mediocre and arrogant. The day when the powerful people leave is the day the children will die.”
The midget sighed. He had witnessed so many such cases, just like his older brother’s child.
“Miss Ye is definitely not this type of person… Furthermore, she is strong and powerful, more powerful than both of us could imagine… It’s possible that our survival and death will be held in her hands. Your concern is not necessary.” Ling Yan waved his sleeve and walked forward.
Ye Qingtang was walking into the deeper part of the forest with Feng Wudang, Li Bingxue, and Gu Tianhe.
A figure appeared in the mid-air and then disappeared.
“That’s… Ye You?”
Ye Qingtang recognized Ye You with just one glance.
“I did not expect Ye You to be here as well…” Li Bingxue stared above her and said coldly.
“You know Ye You?” Ye Qingtang asked.Read the next chapter on our vipnovel.com
Ye You seemed to vaporize from the world ever since she saw her at the Hell of Avicinaraka last time. She reappeared at the region of the Dragon Vein this time.
However, Ye Qingtang was curious about why Li Bingxue and the rest would know about Ye You…
“Who’s Ye You? How come I don’t know as well, Junior Sister Li?”
Gu Tianhe looked at Li Bingxue in confusion, and so did Feng Wudang. Both of them had never heard the name Ye You before.
“Jiang Duantian’s granddaughter…” Li Bingxue said mysteriously.
Feng Wudang and Gu Tianhe were both shocked when they heard the name of Jiang Duantian.
Jiang Duantian was the Domain Master of the First Domain. His martial ability was above everyone else, and he was the renowned supreme chief.
“Wait, how can he have a granddaughter when he doesn’t even have a daughter?” Gu Tianhe frowned and asked.
“I’m not clear about that, but I heard about it during a conversation between the President and an elder,” Li Bingxue said.
Ye Qingtang was deep in thought.
Ye Qingtang surely knew about Ye You’s identity since she had lived two lives.
The Jiang family clan was the first family with a surname in the Central Mainland. Jiang Duantian had a daughter who was obsessed with the cultivation of space array formations.
Some mistakes happened when Jiang Duantian’s daughter was setting up a space array formation, and it went across the Dimension Wall of the mainland and came to this place. She then met one of the Great Elders of Ye family, Ye You’s father, Ye Yun.
The two of them gave birth to Ye You.
Ye You contained the bloodline of the Jiang family clan, which could be sensed by the Jiang family. However, the Dimension Wall blocked off the sensor of bloodline.
After the Dimension Wall was destroyed, the Jiang family sensed Ye You’s bloodline instantly and brought her back to the Central Dynasty.

867- Midnight Whisper
It was years later when Ye You was brought back by the Jiang family in her previous life. However, the Dimension Wall was destroyed earlier as a result of Ye Qingtang, and the Jiang family managed to sense the Jiang bloodline in Ye You’s body.
Ye Qingtang’s original plan was to take her revenge before Ye You was brought back by the Jiang family. However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry; man proposes, god disposes. She was still a step late…
The reason why Ye You could reach the Paragon Great Empress was closely related to the Jiang family’s nurturing.
“You know Ye You as well, Senior Sister Ye?” Li Bingxue asked curiously.
“I was just asking,” Ye Qingtang smiled and said.
Li Bingxue nodded and did not think much about it.
Soon, midnight arrived.
Ye Qingtang sat on the ground and entered a state of meditation.
“Miss Ye.”
Ling Yan voice was suddenly heard.
Ye Qingtang opened her eyes almost instantly and sized up her surroundings.
“I’m in your pocket,” Ling Yan said.
Ye Qingtang took out the Supreme Token from her pocket, and Ling Yan’s voice came from the token.
“I installed a voice transmission stone into the Supreme Token,” Ling Yan said.
Ye Qingtang was totally not surprised by such a trick.
“It’s quite late now. What do you need?” Ye Qingtang asked.
“My teacher intends to kill you now.” Ling Yan’s voice came out from the token.
“And then?” Ye Qingtang felt triggered about that. She would not have been involved in so much trouble if it not because of Ling Yan.
“Kill him,” Ling Yan said.
“Your Highness, are you joking with me? Or tell me, what’s the cultivation level of your teacher?” Ye Qingtang frowned and said.
“The second stage of the Arcane Supremacy, Divine Arcane Supremacy.” Ling Yan replied.
Ye Qingtang almost threw the Supreme Token away when she heard that.
There would be two stages when a cultivator reached the Arcane Supremacy.
The first stage was the Virtual Arcane Supremacy.
The second stage was the Divine Arcane Supremacy.
Every stage was divided into five Heavens. People at the Virtual Arcane Supremacy had to reach the Fifth Heaven to strive towards the Divine Arcane Supremacy.
Though Gu Tianhe, Li Bingxue, and Feng Wudang were at the Arcane Supremacy level, all of them were still at the first stage, Virtual Arcane Supremacy. However, Ling Yan’s teacher had reached the Divine Arcane Supremacy.
The difference between the two was the same as the difference between the Yin Lord and the Yang Lord of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level. Nothing was comparable.
“Are you scared, Miss Ye?” Ling Yan’s laughter came from the Supreme Token.
“Scared? Why will I be scared? I shall prepare myself to be killed when he comes.” Ye Qingtang shook her head.
“You’re angry with me, Miss Ye,” Ling Yan said.
“At least you’re smart,” Ye Qingtang said.
Ye Qingtang had no relationship with Ling Yan’s teacher. However, he intended to kill her now because of Ling Yan. How was it possible for her not to be angry?
“Don’t worry too much, Miss Ye. This piece of mainland limits the ability of Arcane Supremacy. Even my teacher’s ability is limited to the Sixth Heaven of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord. Furthermore, you have three disciples at Arcane Supremacy with you. Why do you need to be scared?” Ling Yan said.
“You’re asking them to die for me?” Ye Qingtang frowned.
“Why would I be bothered with others’ lives? I only need you to be safe, and that’s enough for me.” Ling Yan smiled and said.
Before Ye Qingtang could reply, Ling Yan added. “If that doesn’t work, you can use your Spirit Ring to kill him.”

868 - Aren’t You Scared?
“My ring? What ring?” Ye Qingtang did not know what he was talking about, and her face was filled with confusion.
“Of course, I’m referring to the ring on your finger,” Ling Yan said.
Ye Qingtang sized up her fingers instinctively as she heard Ling Yan’s words.
There was only one ring on her finger, which was given by Han Cangming, the Palace Lord of the Antiquity Palace.
However, how would Ling Yan know the name of the ring… and the ring could even kill his teacher?
“You know about this ring?” Ye Qingtang was shocked.
“Of course,” Ling Yan said.
“Wait… You know about Han Cangming?” Ye Qingtang frowned and asked.
“Han Cangming…” Ling Yan was silent for a while at the other end of the Supreme Token.
“Han Cangming… I almost forgot about this name…”
There was no clear reply from Ling Yan.
“How did you know about this ring?” Ye Qingtang asked confusedly.
After a long while, Ling Yan’s voice came out from the voice transmission stone again. “Of course. The ring belonged to me.”
“What did you say?!” Ye Qingtang could not believe what she just heard.
However, before Ye Qingtang could say anything else, Ling Yan interrupted. “Miss Ye, I was just joking… But remember, the ring is powerful, and you can only use it once only.”
After Ling Yan finished his words, there was no more sound coming out of the Supreme Token no matter how Ye Qingtang tried to ask or call him.
She did not fall asleep for the entire night, and the next day arrived.
Gu Tianhe, Feng Wudang, and Li Bingxue came to find Ye Qingtang.
The area they were at was considered a dead vein. They needed to go deeper for more exposure.
“Junior Brothers and Junior Sister… I think we should go our separate ways from now onward.”
Before the three of them said anything, Ye Qingtang first spoke.
After hearing Ye Qingtang’s words, the three of them were stunned slightly. Why was that necessary when nothing had happened?
“Senior Sister Ye, are you leaving?” Li Bingxue held Ye Qingtang’s arm and asked.
“Yes.” Ye Qingtang nodded.
“Senior Sister Ye, why is that so? Did we do anything wrong?” Feng Wudang asked confusedly.
“It’s not related to you. It’s just that… my enemy is going to kill me anytime. I don’t want to drag you into that.” Ye Qingtang sighed and said.
“Enemy… who is that?!” Gu Tianhe said coldly.
“Perfected Gu Yun…” Ye Qingtang said.
“Perfected Gu Yun? Isn’t he the teacher of the Eternal Dynasty Ling Yan? He’s just Ling Yan’s servant.” Feng Wudang scoffed and said.
“Don’t be afraid, Senior Sister Ye! The Supreme Academy is at the complete opposite end with Ling Yan. We are loyal to the elder prince only. If the Perfected Gu Yun wants to kill you, he’s committing suicide!” Li Bingxue said.
“That’s right. If we kill the Perfected Gu Yun, we will get an award when we return to the Supreme Academy!” Feng Wudang nodded and said.
Not many people knew that the Perfected Gu Yun actually sided with the elder prince. He was still Ling Yan’s person on the surface. Students of the Supreme Academy would definitely not know the complicated relations in between.
Ye Qingtang was speechless as the three of them were eager to fight the Perfected Gu Yun. Now, she understood the reason why Ling Yan was so sure that the three people would agree to fight against Perfected Gu Yun.
If they met Perfected Gu Yun, they would fight him with all their strength even if Ye Qingtang was not around. Once the Perfected Gu Yun died in their hands… they would definitely be rewarded after they returned to the Supreme Academy!
“Perfected Gu Yun was at the Divine Arcane Supremacy. Aren’t you scared?” Ye Qingtang said.
_______________________________________________________________
869 - Can You Run Away?
The three of them were silent after hearing what Ye Qingtang said.
As what Ye Qingtang said, Perfected Gu Yun was at the Divine Arcane Supremacy level, but they were just at the Virtual Arcane Supremacy level.
After a while, Gu Tianhe said, “It’s okay. We do not need to worry about that too much. No matter how strong he is, his ability will be limited at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level on piece of mainland.”
“That’s right. There’s no chance of escaping if we meet Perfected Gu Yun outside… We will not even get the chance to fight back. However, everyone here is at the Yin Yang Perfected Lord level. We can try our best to fight and kill him. We will be rewarded when we get back to the academy!” Feng Wudang nodded and said.
Li Bingxue was also tempted upon hearing Feng Wudang and Gu Tianhe’s words.
“Senior Sister Ye, you cannot leave! We can combine our forces and kill Perfected Gu Yun. Then, we shall split the credits,” Feng Wudang said immediately.
If Ye Qingtang left, the three of them would not dare to challenge Perfected Gu Yun.
“Okay. Since you’re so determined, I shall thank you for your help.” Ye Qingtang folded her fists towards the three people and said.
“Haha, that’s what we should do. We should thank you for such a rare opportunity to kill Perfected Gu Yun!” Feng Wudang was slightly excited as he said.
Ye Qingtang discussed strategies with the three of them instantly.
Soon, the three of them left, and Ye Qingtang remained at somewhere far away.
Ye Qingtang crossed her legs and sat on the ground to consolidate her cultivation. She gently touched the Spirit Ring that Ling Yan mentioned. She hoped that the ring would be as powerful as Ling Yan described. Hopefully, the power it contained would be able to kill Perfected Gu Yun with one attack.
Though Ye Qingtang had no relationships with the three people, she found that the three of them were kind after spending a few days with them. In all honesty, it was not that they were going to fight against Perfected Gu Yun just because they wanted to help her. They were just manipulated by Ling Yan as he knew about their greed towards rewards. However, no matter what, Ye Qingtang did not want anything to happen to them. She might still use the ring at the critical moment.
The sky appeared to be golden in color at dawn.
Swoosh!
A piercing sound was heard.
An elder appeared in mid-air at the next second and looked downward at Ye Qingtang.
“Young lady.” A cold voice came from his mouth.
Ye Qingtang opened her eyes and looked towards the elder as she heard the voice. Her face was full of confusion, and she asked, “May I know who are you? What do you want?”
Perfected Gu Yun waved his sleeve and said, “Are you a student of the Supreme Academy?”.
“Yes.” Ye Qingtang replied.
“Do you know Ling Yan!” Perfected Gu Yun continued.
Ye Qingtang’s face changed immediately, and she said, “Ling Yan Highness… Of course, but he doesn’t know me.”
“Oh? Is that true? Then I’m curious about why he would ward off the sword for you.” Perfected Gu Yun scoffed.
“You… How did you know!” Ye Qingtang stood up instantly and stared at the elder.
“Humph, young lady, you will die here today!” The moment he finished his words, he dashed towards Ye Qingtang.
However, before Perfected Gu Yun could get close to Ye Qingtang, she used all her strength and ran towards the forest with her full speed.
“Humph, can you run away from me?” Perfected Gu Yun sneered and followed up.
_______________________________________________________________
870 - Flawless
Ye Qingtang ran into the deeper parts of the forest within a second.
Perfected Gu Yun was extremely fast as well. He turned into a streak of light and disappeared as well.
Soon, Perfected Gu Yun traced Ye Qingtang’s leaving path and entered the deep parts of the forest.
However, at that moment, golden rays of lights appeared around him, and he smelled something ancient.
Perfected Gu Yun’s face changed instantly. Before he had any reaction, he was surrounded by the golden rays of light.
“Sealed Sky Formation?”
Perfected Gu Yun sized up his surroundings in the golden light and murmured.
The Sealed Sky Formation was a special array formation of the Supreme Academy. It was invented by a few of the previous presidents together.
The Sealed Sky Formation was extremely powerful, but it required a few people to set up the formation. It would take a few hours at least.
Why is there a Sealed Sky Formation here…
Ye Qingtang walked out from the dark. She scoffed as she stared at Perfected Gu Yun, who was trapped inside the golden light.
Perfected Gu Yun would never be able to imagine that his every moment was well-known by Ling Yan. He would not expect that Ling Yan had warned her earlier that Perfected Gu Yun would try to kill her, and she had prepared the Sealed Sky Formation of the Supreme Academy to lurk him into the trap.
“You… you were prepared?!”
Perfected Gu Yun, who was trapped inside the golden lights, said coldly as Ye Qingtang appeared from the dark.
“Isn’t that obvious?” Ye Qingtang scoffed.
“You knew when I was going to find you… So, you set the golden light array…” Perfected Gu Yun scoffed.
“What a shame. You found out about it way too late.” Ye Qingtang replied.
“How did you know my presence and how did you know that I would be here to kill you…” Perfected Gu Yun frowned and said.
However, before Ye Qingtang said anything, Perfected Gu Yun’s expression suddenly changed.
“Is it… Ling Yan?!”
Perfected Gu Yun seemed to recall something suddenly and was shocked.
“You’re smart. It’s Ling Yan indeed.” Ye Qingtang smiled softly and said.
“It’s impossible! How could he know that I betrayed him… Furthermore, I wasn’t with him for the whole time recently. How could he know that I would be here to kill you!” Perfected Gu Yun shouted angrily.
All the things he had done were considered flawless. He even hid his martial breath when he stalked Ling Yan. He always stood far from here, so he was sure that he would never be discovered. However, despite that, Ling Yan still discovered his identity…
Ye Qingtang shook her head and said, “Why are you still asking so many questions when you know he’s Ling Yan… He would definitely know everything since you betrayed him. What he had done was based on his own inference. Even if he inferred wrongly, he could just prepare beforehand to prevent any loss… You have at least followed Ling Yan for so many years. How come your understanding of him is scarcer than mine?”
“Bullocks!” Perfected Gu Yun shouted in rage. Everything he had done was useless and a waste of time. He was like a naked clown in Ling Yan’s eyes?!
“Perfected Gu Yun, you’re trapped inside the Sealed Sky Formation now. What else can you do?” Ye Qingtang said.
Upon hearing Ye Qingtang’s words, Perfected Gu Yun pulled himself out from his thoughts. A cold smile appeared on his face, and he said, “Young lady, do you really think that the Sealed Sky Formation of the Supreme Academy can trap me forever?!”
