Chapter 128: A Sudden Betrayal, An Unexpected Rescue

Gu Changtian quickly nodded, indicating his agreement with Ye Feng’s idea.

“Indeed, I agree. This place is far too eerie. Staying long might invite trouble.”

Su Ling’er cast him a strange glance, thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth.

“I agree too. If this place is controlled by those demonic cultivators, and they intend to hide, the overseer would likely never find it.”

Ye Feng didn’t suspect anything. She nodded and used her spiritual power to break the ropes binding them.

Then, with a loud shout, she pushed the Yin-Yang Inverse Death Art and the Green Wood Illusory Spirit Form to their limits.

The ordinary-looking sword in her hand, devoid of any luster, suddenly burst with brilliant light under her spiritual power, revealing its true appearance.

Her figure turned into a verdant sword light, charging toward the small cave entrance.

Ye Feng shot forward like a freight truck.

On the roughly one-kilometer path toward the narrow cave mouth, the Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators—who would normally strike fear into anyone’s heart—tried to block her.

But against Ye Feng’s terrifying strength, they fell in a single blow.

Some Qi Refining demonic cultivators couldn’t even cast a spell before they were crushed into meat paste.

Even Ye Feng hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly.

But she didn’t dwell on it; she pressed on.

After all, the timing she had chosen was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The sole Golden Core demonic cultivator had entered the narrow cave long ago and hadn’t come out.

He had likely gone to the outside world.

Which meant… it could really work!

Ye Feng’s eyes shone with hope.

It felt as if through that narrow cave mouth, she could escape.

“Ling’er, Changtian, we should be able to get out!”

But the next moment, what answered Ye Feng wasn’t a joyful smile, but venomous malice.

[Little girl Ye Feng, be careful!]

Di Xiaoyao’s voice suddenly rang in her mind.

But it was too late.

Su Ling’er took out a bell and gently shook it twice.

The seductive sound reached Ye Feng, causing her to freeze for just a split second.

But at this distance, that was enough.

“Pfft—!”

Gu Changtian held a high-grade magic tool and stabbed it straight into Ye Feng’s abdomen.

A killing strike filled with spiritual power poured in, blocking the meridians that were still operating at full capacity.

It caused her qi to flow backward, resulting in internal injuries.

At the same time, this mid-Foundation Establishment strike—directed at her completely defenseless state—truly wounded her severely.

“Why… why did you do this?”

Ye Feng’s face was full of disbelief, her gaze darting between Gu Changtian and Su Ling’er.

The light in her pupils slowly dimmed.

“Hahaha, Ye Feng, isn’t it unbelievable?”

Gu Changtian pulled out his sword, flicked it, and laughed uproariously.

Thanks to Ye Feng, most of the demonic cultivators in the cave were either severely wounded or killed.

Only a few remained alive, all relatively weak.

He could handle them easily! So there was basically nothing to worry about! Heh heh!

Gu Changtian pulled Su Ling’er into his arms and looked down at Ye Feng with great satisfaction.

“If you want to blame someone, blame your ridiculously strong talent and luck.”

“But it doesn’t matter. I’ll inherit everything you have, including the ring on your hand.”

Gu Changtian stared greedily, as if he knew its secret.

Damn it!

Ye Feng gritted her teeth. Feelings of reluctance, anger, shock, and shame surged within her.

Elder Di sighed in her mind.

[Ah, little girl Ye Feng, looks like old man still has to step in to save you.]

[This time, I can’t borrow your body. If I appear in my soul form, I’ll probably have to sleep again, heh heh.]

[No! Elder Di! Don’t do it!]

Ye Feng clenched her fists, glaring at Gu Changtian as if she wanted to tear him apart.

Gu Changtian watched the former prodigy who had once been so glorious during the sect’s entrance exam—surrounded by countless beauties, well-liked by all—now lying prostrate on the ground, about to die.

His mood couldn’t be better.

But just then, a change suddenly occurred.

A spot on Ye Feng’s meridian emitted a faint white light—the tracking Gu worm left by Xia Baiqian.

Then, the next moment, the shrill sound of the worm feeding echoed out.

A beam of light surged out from the narrow cave mouth.

At the same time, a chilling aura spread through the air.

“Excuse me.”

A cold, emotionless voice echoed in the cave.

Before Ye Feng, Gu Changtian, or anyone else could react, a figure in an ink-black sword robe appeared before them.

Star-like light seemed to flow on the robe. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and his eyes were like a cold pond reflecting stars.

Earlier, when Ye Feng had been using her techniques, the bloody scene hadn’t stopped the children’s laughter.

But this person only had to stand there to silence them instantly.

Some even regained clarity, looked around in confusion, and burst into tears, calling for their mothers.

This person was none other than Chu Huaizhou.

That chilling aura was actually simulated by Bai Li perched on his shoulder.

Bai Li sat upright, puffed out her chest, and scanned the surroundings like a lion pretending to be fierce.

In reality, she was just maintaining her dignified image.

Chu Huaizhou also looked around. After confirming there was no danger, he fixed his gaze on Ye Feng.

“Ye Feng, who wounded you so severely? With your cultivation level, it shouldn’t have come to this.”

Just then, Xia Baiqian’s laughter followed.

Her fluffy pink hair bounced as she walked over and naturally hooked her arm around Chu Huaizhou’s.

Her eyes fell on Ye Feng.

“Ah, Little Ye, how did you get so hurt?”

Hearing this, Bai Li looked down.

“Ah, Ye Feng, how did you get so hurt? You were too careless, meow. Let this Empress heal you, meow.”

Her nine large white tails swayed gently, and a cyan-colored glow brushed over Ye Feng.

Ye Feng’s wounds healed instantly, except for the holes in her clothes.

There was no trace of injury—her skin was smooth as gelatin, white as jade.

Gu Changtian: “Heh, can we make peace?”

The moment he saw who had arrived, Gu Changtian dropped to his knees.

Literally.

With this aura, the world’s only nine-tailed celestial fox perched on the shoulder, and the ink-star sword robe representing the sect master’s identity…

Who else could it be but their own Tianyuan Sword Sect’s sect master?

“Inner disciple of Chaotic Sword Peak, under Chaotic Sword Elder, Gu Changtian, pays respects to Sect Master!”

Behind him, Su Ling’er’s face paled in terror, and she quickly knelt as well.

“Inner disciple of Sword Nourishing Peak, under Sword Nourishing Elder, Su Ling’er, pays respects to Sect Master!”

Seeing Ye Feng’s injuries heal, Gu Changtian knew that if he didn’t quickly defend himself, the Law Enforcement Hall would lock him up forever!

He immediately crawled forward on his knees, hands clasped, and bowed his head.

“Brother Ye’s injuries were caused by this disciple.”

“This disciple was momentarily bewitched by that wretched woman, and this place is somewhat eerie, causing confusion.”

“Thus I made such a move. Please punish me, Sect Master!”

Su Ling’er looked stunned at his words, then her beautiful face twisted with hysteria.

“Gu Changtian, what are you talking about? It was all your plan. I… I couldn’t beat you, so I had to follow your orders.”

Ye Feng stood up, gave Gu Changtian and Su Ling’er a cold glance, ignored their farce, turned first to Chu Huaizhou, and bowed.

“Greetings, Master! Thank you for coming to save me, Ye Feng is truly ashamed.”

Chu Huaizhou maintained his aloof persona: “No matter.”

Bai Li listened to the exchange between Gu Changtian and the other, her clever little head dizzy.

Unable to figure it out, she simply leaped onto Ye Feng’s shoulder and patted her head with a tiny paw.

“Don’t worry, Ye Feng, this Empress has your back, meow. If anyone bullies you, just tell me, meow.”

Inside the ring, Di Xiaoyao, who had been ready to help, froze.

It… it really was a Tribulation Transcendence stage powerhouse!
