Chapter 378: Can't Deal with the World Honored One, Can't I Deal with You?

Sword Pavilion, Ye Family Residence.

Clouds and mist swirled, and the palace halls shone brightly. The current Ye Family could be called the number one clan in the Sword Pavilion, not only because of the Perfected Lord but even more because of Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon.

After all, with the Perfected Lords in seclusion, Foundation Establishment Perfection was the strongest tier.

And among those at Foundation Establishment Perfection, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon was leading by a landslide. The Ye Family had been riding on his coattails, reaping many benefits in the Sword Pavilion over the past ten years.

At this moment, a flying letter arrived.

Inside the main hall, a handsome young man wearing a magnificent crown reached out and caught the spirit letter. Sweeping it with his Divine Sense, a smile appeared on his face—

“Family Head, the Myriad Poison Cult is destroyed!”

Hearing this, Ye Shaoying, the Ye Family Head who was originally regulating his breath on the main seat of the hall, opened his eyes instantly. A look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes:

“Cheng’er, are these words true?”

“Absolutely true.”

Ye Cheng affirmed immediately: “This matter was arranged by your nephew personally. This letter was also sent by your nephew’s good friend in the Southern Frontier. There is absolutely no falsehood!”

“Good!”

Ye Shaoying nodded, feeling gratified: “Vanquishing-Demon went to the Southern Frontier personally, and the Myriad Poison Cult was destroyed… maybe, that Ming He has already perished!”

Ye Cheng smiled and nodded: “Family Head is wise. Using the spy planted by the Myriad Poison Cult among the Qi Refining disciples, we laid this inescapable net. That Lu Yang came from a rogue cultivator background; how could he avoid it? Ultimately, he owed my Ye Family karma, and perishing now is just his fate taking its course.”

“Cheng’er’s words are reasonable.”

Ye Shaoying nodded. His daughter Ye Guyue died inexplicably inside the [Southern Heavenly Gate], and he had been brooding over it for many years.

Therefore, he had long been dissatisfied with Lu Yang.

The reason was simple—my daughter is dead; why are you still alive?

Did you harm her?

Not to mention his original plan was to let his daughter Ye Guyue inherit Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon’s mantle and learn his [Sword Intent]. As a result, it fell short of success because of this.

Yet Lu Yang happened to be accepted as a disciple by Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon.

What if the two hit it off and Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon passed his [Sword Intent] to Lu Yang? What would happen to the Ye Family? This was something Ye Shaoying couldn’t tolerate.

Because in his view, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon was a Ye Family member.

So Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon’s [Sword Intent] should also rightfully belong to the Ye Family!

How could outsiders lay a finger on it?

So whether for public or private reasons, he didn’t want Lu Yang to continue living. Even if he lived, it would be best if he couldn’t reach Foundation Establishment for his entire life.

“Let’s go.”

Thinking of this, Ye Shaoying stood up and smiled slightly at Ye Cheng: “Cheng’er, come with me. Follow me to see Vanquishing-Demon; it’s also good to comfort him.”

Immediately after, he patted Ye Cheng’s shoulder and said earnestly: “Now you are the most outstanding young person of my Ye Family. I will recommend you to join Vanquishing-Demon’s seat this time. You must cultivate well… Guyue has perished, and the position of Family Head after me is undecided. You should encourage yourself.”

“This nephew understands!”

Ye Cheng showed excitement upon hearing this. The position of Family Head… If he could sit in this position, reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Stage in the future would be almost guaranteed!

Soon, two streaks of escape light left the Ye Family.

They arrived all the way at Extreme Heaven Cliff.

Just as they approached, Ye Shaoying adjusted his emotions and said in a deep voice: “Guangji, I know the feeling of losing a beloved disciple is bad, but you still have to…”

The voice stopped abruptly.

Before the words of condolences could be spoken, Ye Shaoying saw Lu Yang standing calmly beside Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon, looking at him upon hearing the voice.

Not dead!?

Ye Shaoying turned his head abruptly to look at Ye Cheng, only to see him equally dumbfounded, obviously not reacting either, not understanding why Lu Yang was still alive.

Could it be that Vanquishing-Demon discovered something wrong in advance and arrived in time?

Otherwise, the Myriad Poison Cult Leader Long Yue is a Great Perfected One at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage after all. Dealing with a junior who just reached Foundation Establishment, it’s impossible for her to fail…

Ye Shaoying was still pondering.

In the next second, he suddenly shivered. His [Sword Heart] gave a warning, causing him to look up subconsciously, just meeting Lu Yang’s gaze.

Clang!

In a trance, a clear sword cry suddenly rang in Ye Shaoying’s ears. The Lu Yang in front of him suddenly lost his human form in his eyes, transforming instead into a brilliant and intense magnificent Sword Qi that was hard to look at directly! At a glance, it was not inferior to a Great Perfected One at all!

“Apologies.”

Lu Yang smiled apologetically: “This humble one’s state is very special right now. It’s difficult to restrain the Sword Qi. I hope the two Fellow Daoists won’t blame me.”

That being said, Lu Yang’s Sword Qi not only didn’t restrain but became even more ostentatious.

Damn it, I can’t deal with the World Honored One; but can’t I deal with you?

Among the people present, Ye Cheng had the weakest cultivation, having just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Pressed by Lu Yang’s Sword Qi at this moment, he instantly spat blood and took a step back.

How is this possible…

This time, Ye Shaoying’s expression truly changed. His self-restraint and sophistication as the head of a family broke instantly, looking at Lu Yang before him in disbelief.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage!? Great Perfected One!?

What kind of joke is this!

This person’s background and foundation are actually so profound? What exactly is his origin? Returning from reincarnation for only about ten years, and he actually reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage?

If it were anyone else, Ye Shaoying would have questioned whether Lu Yang was an undercover agent sent by another sect long ago. But Lu Yang’s situation was different.

After all, he could offer incense in the Reception Hall, meaning his past life memories must have been washed clean. Even if he was an undercover agent before, he couldn’t be one now.

But Ye Shaoying was the Ye Family Head after all.

“…Its okay.”

In a flash of lightning, he had already adjusted his emotions and said: “I came here this time originally to bring the scum of the family to apologize to Fellow Daoist.”

Ye Cheng: “???”

In the next second, before Ye Cheng could react, Ye Shaoying slapped his hand, sealing Ye Cheng’s Divine Sense directly, then pushed him forward.

“It is this person who secretly colluded with the Myriad Poison Cult and betrayed the interests of my Sword Pavilion.”

“The evidence is irrefutable. If Fellow Daoist still has doubts, the few Qi Refining disciples who communicated with him can also be soul-searched for verification as Myriad Poison Cult spies.”

Ye Shaoying spoke righteously.

Lu Yang listened with admiration.

Truly a sword bastard…

Why did Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon suddenly rush to the Southern Frontier? It was because he discovered Ye Cheng’s little actions. But he didn’t expect Ye Shaoying to choose to sacrifice the pawn to save his life.

However, Ye Shaoying didn’t feel anything wrong.

Compared to before, his thoughts had completely changed now. After all, the value of a Great Perfected One and an ordinary Foundation Establishment Perfected One couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.

If he wanted to eliminate Lu Yang before.

Then now, he had already switched his thinking— If we can form a marriage alliance with him and pull a Great Perfected One into my Ye Family, it wouldn’t be a bad thing…

Thinking of this, Ye Shaoying was about to speak.

However, just then.

“Enough.”

Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon suddenly interrupted Ye Shaoying’s words, saying in a deep voice: “Isn’t it embarrassing enough? Go back. Take Ye Cheng with you too.”

“Let him go into seclusion and sit quietly for a hundred years.”

“…Alright.”

Ye Shaoying nodded decisively upon hearing this, understanding that this matter needed further discussion. He immediately pulled Ye Cheng and left Extreme Heaven Cliff somewhat hastily.

Seeing this, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon sighed helplessly, then looked at Lu Yang:

“For my sake, don’t make things difficult for them.”

Lu Yang hurriedly bowed: “Disciple dares not.”

Hearing these words, Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon nodded. Then he actually took off the [No-Kill Sword] at his waist and handed it to Lu Yang:

“Consider it my apology on their behalf.”

“You have now reached the time to comprehend [Sword Intent]. I lend you this sword for observation. Comprehend it patiently; it will also be somewhat useful for your current cultivation.”

“Many thanks, Master!”

Lu Yang bowed again without declining. He immediately accepted the [No-Kill Sword], his hands suddenly feeling an icy coldness and a heaviness like a mountain.

Actually, even if Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon didn’t say anything, he didn’t have time to trouble the Ye Family now. At most, he would keep it in mind…

Because he had more important things to do.

Hong Yun’s memories!

Previously, Heaven and Earth acted secretly, causing him not to delve deeper, indicating there must be secrets related to Heaven and Earth within. He wanted to see exactly what they were!
