Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling was lost in thought. He could now understand the ancient Desolate Forbidden Rune Array, so he knew that there were indeed no dangers within it. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

So, following the deciphering method of that ’Ye Tianling,’ he entered as well.

The moment Ye Tianling entered, the environment changed.

It was indeed an environment filled with a bloody mist, and it was somewhat dim. The figure of ’Ye Tianling’ had already disappeared.

Ancient Fairy’s figure was also nowhere to be found.

"I lost them? What the hell—"

Ye Tianling couldn’t help but feel a little dazed. ’Did I really lose them just like that?’

’Or did they already discover me?’

"Huh? There really is the aura of the Crescent Moon Dao Mark up ahead..."

Lost in thought, Ye Tianling cautiously made his way forward.

Soon, Ye Tianling passed through two layers of prohibitions and arrived at the shore of a Blood Water Lake.

Then, standing by the lake, he froze completely.

Above the Blood Water Lake, a Blood Moon hung as if directly overhead, no more than a thousand meters above the water’s surface.

Beneath the Blood Moon, Ye Yueling and Lin Yuchan were completely naked, sitting quietly in a meditative pose on the lake’s surface, facing each other. Their bodies were almost entirely on display.

"Uhh—"

Ye Tianling froze. He immediately knew he’d fallen into a trap.

’That lecherous, despicable ’Ye Tianling’ deliberately lured me here to frame me!’

"Dammit, I fell for it again! How are all these tricks so familiar? Isn’t this my own usual routine?"

"This person... it’s either that old bastard Wan Jimie or that old bastard Que De. I’m absolutely sure of it!"

"Damn, to think they’d plot against me like this!"

Ye Tianling cursed in his heart.

"Boy, take a good look. This Lord isn’t coming in! Enjoy the feeling of being set up, otherwise you’ll never remember your Lord Que De."

"Kid, you dared to seal my Xuegui Child in a latrine. The fact that I haven’t personally sealed you in a latrine myself is me going easy on you!"

The two voices appeared in Ye Tianling’s mind, one after the other.

Ye Tianling’s Soul Talent instantly pinpointed the location of the voices.

The location was actually outside the Forbidden Array—clearly, that ’Ye Tianling’ had never truly entered this place at all!

"Que De, Wan Jimie... you two undying old bastards, ruining my reputation everywhere and even tricking my disciple, Ancient Fairy, away from me! Damn you!"

Ye Tianling was furious, sending his voice back as a telepathic message.

"Bullshit! Your disciple? Ancient Fairy is the joint disciple of Wan Xuegui and Que Xinyan, and she’s the grand-disciple that I, Lord Que De, have my eye on! That dead rat Que Xinyan is truly scatterbrained. He was originally my disciple, but you tricked him so badly he didn’t even guard my tomb, which almost caused me to fail at my Dao manifestation!"

Que De’s voice echoed directly in Ye Tianling’s mind.

His tone was so full of grievance that it nearly made Ye Tianling cough up blood.

"Your reputation? You have a reputation, boy? How come this old man has never heard of it? Xuegui was such a good child, and now you’ve tricked him into becoming a retard and an idiot. You even sold that girl Fairy, and she’s still counting the money for you! If this old man didn’t make you fall for a few traps and cause a sensation throughout the world, wouldn’t you be looking down on the intelligence of my Wan Family?

Well, I’ve been talking to you for so long, the Thunderous Pearl is about to explode. Good luck with that!

Also, Lin Yuchan really hates being peeped on. Now... enjoy her wrath, boy!"

As soon as Wan Jimie’s voice faded, something suddenly exploded at Ye Tianling’s feet.

BOOM—

The explosion of the Thunderous Pearl shattered Ye Tianling’s Concealment, sending him flying backward.

The Attack Power of the Thunderous Pearl couldn’t harm Ye Tianling’s terrifyingly durable body.

However, a commotion like this could be heard even by a deaf person, let alone the immensely powerful Lin Yuchan and the now equally strong Ye Yueling.

"Dammit, those two swindlers!"

Ye Tianling practically spat out a mouthful of old blood. Then, while still in mid-air, he immediately felt two incomparably fierce gazes shoot toward him.

"Ahem, you two Fairies... the night is long, and I find myself unable to sleep. Why don’t we recite poetry and admire the moon together...?"

Ye Tianling gave a sheepish smile and simply reverted to his original appearance, stepping through the Void.

But just as he stepped into the Void, another Thunderous Pearl suddenly appeared and exploded with a ’BOOM’, nearly knocking him over. He barely avoided tumbling to the ground.

This was both humiliating and awkward.

Any semblance of a refined demeanor or the air of a graceful gentleman was completely gone.

’Dammit, when Laozi gets out of here, I swear I won’t beat you to death! Fuck your grandpas!’

Ye Tianling cursed endlessly in his heart, then stood still.

He really had no idea where the other Thunderous Pearls might be. After all, those two old bastards’ ’Concealment’ techniques were too heaven-defying; his Soul Talent couldn’t detect them at all.

At this moment, Ye Tianling deeply understood the frustrated and furious state of mind that Wan Xuegui must have been in back then.

"Was it a good show?"

Lin Yuchan said coldly.

She and Ye Yueling flew up from the lake’s surface at the same time, already dressed in light purple gauze dresses.

Beneath the Blood Moon, the two women in their light purple gauze dresses were truly stunningly beautiful, their Ice Skin and Jade Bones radiating an otherworldly Spirituality.

They both had hair like waterfalls of black ink, eyebrows like ink paintings, and eyes like the Bright Moon.

"It was... uhh—actually, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I was framed."

Ye Tianling explained sheepishly.

He had instinctively answered ’beautiful,’ and he knew in his heart that this answer was far too provocative—even though he was just speaking the truth.

"Oh, really? Someone framed you to come watch us bathe in the Blood Water Lake? Someone so capable that not even a Third Layer Desolate Ancient Forbidden Technique could stop them? That person must be really good to you."

Lin Yuchan said softly, her tone extremely indifferent.

"Ye Tianling, I thought that after being stripped of your Dragon Blood and Dragon Soul, you would have shown some restraint. I thought you would have been dealt a huge blow, perhaps even given up on yourself and fallen into despair. I never expected you to still be so arrogant, so despicable, and so shameless!"

Ye Yueling’s tone was exceptionally cold, and her eyes were just as indifferent and merciless.

Ye Tianling’s expression suddenly became calm because of what Ye Yueling had just said.

"Heh, so what? What are you trying to say? That you’re going to look down on me and mock me like you did back then? Or perhaps you think it’s a pity you can no longer practice Yin Yang Harmony with me and gain the benefits of my Talent?"

Ye Tianling’s tone was filled with sarcasm.

Ye Yueling’s coldness had struck a nerve, piercing straight to the Demon Heart within him.

As a result, his tone was no longer so kind.

Lin Yuchan stared coldly at Ye Tianling and sneered, "What does Ye Yueling’s Talent have to do with you? Stop flattering yourself. What do you think you are?!

Ye Yueling is a descendant of the Cyan Dragon Race. She always had the bloodline of the Cyan Dragon Race within her. Your so-called ’Yin Yang Harmony’ was nothing but a shameless act that merely activated her Cyan Dragon—Celestial Spirit Sword Body’s Ice Sword Dragon Bloodline ahead of schedule!

Furthermore, I never would have thought Ye Fengyang was such a lowly and vicious person!

Very well. Since we happen to have met today, let’s take this opportunity to settle some of those old scores from the past!"

As Lin Yuchan spoke, a thread of fierce killing intent clearly emerged from her.

Ye Tianling couldn’t help but frown.

"Killing intent? You want to kill me? Are you sure?"

Two clusters of eerie, cold, bloody light flickered in Ye Tianling’s eyes.

At that moment, the Demon Heart Sword Body within him seemed to stir restlessly.

The Huaxia Dragon Blood in his body also began to burn intensely.

"Kill you? You’re thinking too simply! Leaving aside all other karma, just for the act of peeping on me and Yueling while we bathed, I should at least gouge out your eyes and cripple your ’capital’!"

A look of clear mockery and severe coldness appeared in Lin Yuchan’s eyes.
