Chapter 2327
by“From now on, you can enter and exit at will.” Qiu Ze said indifferently.
When Shi Cangying heard this, he was overjoyed and knew that Qiu Ze was really treating him as the sect master of Qianye Sect. Of course, this was on the premise that he submitted and bowed down. If he dared to have any ulterior motives, Shi Cangying was sure that he would die a miserable death.
Qiu Ze’s promotion to the Emperor Venerable Realm is not good news for any sect, but for Shi Cangying, the most important thing is to save his life first.
The powerhouses of several sects such as the Tianji Hall also stood behind Qiu Ze. Seeing him giving orders and pointing out the country, they felt a burst of envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts. This is the authority of the Emperor Venerable Realm. Standing here, they can make others not even dare to take a deep breath.
These powerhouses all secretly resented why it wasn’t themselves who promoted to the Emperor Venerable Realm, but this old guy Qiu Ze.
Just at this time, an old man suddenly walked over in a hurry and said behind Qiu Ze: “Palace Master, Ye Hen is unwilling to reveal the method of entering the valley.”
Before Qiu Ze could speak, Ruan Hongbo of the Tianji Hall had already cursed: “That old guy Ye Hen is really ungrateful. Palace Master Qiu is so kind and didn’t take his life, which is already especially kind. He is actually so stubborn.”
Mu Guan of the Baiyun Tower also said： “That’s right. Ye Hen doesn’t know what’s good for him. Palace Master Qiu doesn’t need to be polite to him anymore. Let’s all take action together. I don’t believe we can’t break the formation of this valley.”
As he spoke, he put on a eager-to-try posture.
Qiu Ze said indifferently, “Do you know how many tens of thousands of years the Thousand Leaves Sect has been passed down？ Even some of the top sects in the Southern Region today may not have a longer inheritance than the Thousand Leaves Sect. The formation in this valley was personally set up by a great power tens of thousands of years ago. Even this seat has no confidence in breaking it. Do you think you can do it with just a few of you？”
His face was full of sarcasm and mockery, but Mu Guan and the others didn’t dare to refute at all and could only keep smiling awkwardly.
“What does Sect Master Shi think？” Qiu Ze turned his head and looked at Shi Cangying and asked.
Shi Cangying pondered for a while and said in a deep voice, Ye Hen is a tough nut to crack. Shi has worked with him for so many years. I also understand his temper and character. Not to mention torturing him, even if he is really killed, he will never reveal the method of breaking the formation!
“Oh？ Sect Master Shi has such a high evaluation of Ye Hen？” Qiu Ze looked at Shi Cangying in surprise.
Shi Cangying said seriously, “He’s just an old stubborn. If not for this, our Thousand Leaves Sect wouldn’t have declined to this extent…”
“All right, this seat is not interested in the affairs of your Thousand Leaves Sect. Just tell me how to break the formation.” Qiu Ze interrupted his words impatiently.
Shi Cangying said, “Since there is no way to start from Ye Hen, we might as well try to find a breakthrough from others…” Having said this, he smiled eerie ly and said, “The father and daughter of Ye Hen have depended on each other for so many years, and their relationship is not ordinary good.”
Hearing this, Qiu Ze turned his head and looked at him, with deep divine light in his eyes.
Shi Cangying’s heart skipped a beat. Thinking that he had said something wrong, he was stared at by him and broke out in a cold sweat. Just when he was uneasy, Qiu Ze suddenly smiled and said, Sect Master Shi. That Ye Jinghan also seems to have been watched by you since childhood, don’t have any compassion? ”
Shi Cangying’s expression became solemn and said, “That little girl doesn’t know the heights of heaven and earth and dares to block the path of Palace Master Qiu’s great cause of unification. Naturally, she should pay some price. It is precisely because I am her elder that I want her to grow up earlier. This is also a test of her state of mind.”
“So, you are doing it for her own good？” Qiu Ze’s mouth curled up, and his smile was sarcastic.
Shi Cangying said seriously, “I have painstaking efforts. I hope she can understand.”
Ruan Hongbo and the others listened at the side, each breaking out in a cold sweat and frequently casting sidelong glances at Shi Cangying, as if only at this moment did they know the true face of Shi Cangying. At the same time, they felt sorry for Ye Hen for raising such a monster by his side. However, upon thought, since they and the Thousand Leaves Sect were enemies and not friends, they simply had no stance or need to sympathize with him.
“Very good, this matter is left to you to handle. I hope Sect Master Shi will not disappoint this seat！” Qiu Ze smiled faintly.
“Shi will definitely do his best！” Shi Cangying cupped his fists and said in a deep voice. Then, he waved his hand towards the rear and shouted, “Bring the people up！”
In the blink of an eye, Ye Hen and several high-ranking members of the sect who had always followed him were brought outside the valley. As soon as the few people arrived here, they naturally spat and cursed at Shi Cangying. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they wished they could bite Shi Cangying to death. However, Shi Cangying remained calm and composed, as if he hadn’t heard anything, and stood there leisurely. He shouted from within the valley, “Nephew Ye, open your eyes and take a good look. Who are these people beside me?”
His voice was loud and spread throughout the fields, obviously reaching the depths of the valley.
Shortly after the voice fell, the scenery in the valley suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, the illusion array that had been maintained for tens of thousands of years was lifted, and the true scenery of the valley appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
Looking around, the figures of Ye Jinghan, Chi Yue and others were clearly distinguishable, only a few hundred zhang away from Shi Cangying and others, and beside these people, there was actually a formation base platform.
“Hm?” ” Qiu Ze’s eyes narrowed, staring closely at that platform, and the next moment he exclaimed in a low voice: “Space array?”
With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that the formation base platform was a space array and it was ancient and desolate, with a long history. But what he couldn’t figure out was that there was such a thing in this valley.
Where did this array lead to?
Qiu Ze couldn’t help but look at Shi Cangying suspiciously.
Shi Cangying also had a blank look on his face. Although he had always known that this valley was the forbidden area of Qianye Sect, and only the sect master could set foot in it throughout the ages, he didn’t know what was in this forbidden area.
He had always thought that this forbidden area was the burial place of the successive sect masters of Qianye Sect, so no one else was allowed to enter. But now it seemed that he was wrong.
This forbidden area seemed to be connected to another place.
Sensing Qiu Ze’s gaze, Shi Cangying smiled awkwardly and said： “This is the first time Shi has seen this, and I don’t know what mysteries are hidden in it.”
Qiu Ze snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied, but still said indifferently: “That space array should be damaged, otherwise these people would have already fled this place.”
Shi Cangying quickly said： “Palace Master Qiu has sharp eyes and actually thought of this.”
While the two were talking, Ye Jinghan had already seen Ye Hen who was forced to kneel on the ground outside the valley. At this moment, Ye Hen was covered in blood, his aura was extremely weak, and it seemed that his cultivation had been sealed by someone, and he simply had no strength to resist.
Ye Hen was already old, and now being tortured like this was even worse. He kept coughing up blood, which was unbearable to look at.
Father！” Ye Jinghan shouted in a trembling voice, with two lines of tears streaming down, and her heart was so painful that she could hardly breathe.”
Hua Qingsi and the others saw this scene and their complexions were also ugly, and they felt compassion in their hearts.
After Ye Jinghan finished shouting, she looked at Shi Cangying angrily and said, “Let my father go！”
Shi Cangying grinned and said, “Niece, you are also a grown woman. Uncle won’t talk nonsense with you. It’s not impossible for you to want me to let your father go, but you should know what you have to do.”
At this point, his expression sank and he shouted, “disband this valley formation, and uncle will spare their lives!”
Before Ye Jinghan could speak, Ye Hen shouted angrily, “Jinghan, no matter what, don’t dissolve the array…”
Shi Cangying’s face sank, and he reached out and slapped Ye Hen, completely imprisoning him and even taking away his ability to speak.
Ye Jinghan saw this and immediately let out a shrill cry： “Don’t hurt my father… Uncle Shi, you are also a member of the Thousand Leaves Sect and even the deputy sect master of the Thousand Leaves Sect. Why are you doing this? Where did your father ever treat you unfairly in the past? Let him go. I beg you to let him go！”
She pleaded heartbreakingly, and the scene was extremely tragic.
Shi Cangying, however, remained unmoved and just shook his head regretfully, saying： “Uncle also wants to protect your father’s life, but uncle is also involuntary now. I hope you can understand！”
As he spoke, he strolled behind an elder at the second level of the Dao Source Realm, put a hand on the elder’s head, and looked at Ye Jinghan from a distance, saying unhurriedly： “Niece, you see clearly. Before you open that formation, every ten breaths… uncle will kill one person！”
When the words fell, he urged the source power in his palm. The Thousand Leaves Sect elder who was bound in place didn’t even utter a sound. His entire head directly burst open, and his body fell stiffly to the ground.
He suddenly launched a killing move, not only making Ye Jinghan’s complexion pale and her eyes despaired, but also shocking Ruan Hongbo and the others, secretly horrified. After all, the person he killed was a elder of the Thousand Leaves Sect, a fellow disciple he had known for countless years, and had been getting along and working together. But now he killed without changing his expression, showing how cruel and ruthless Shi Cangying was.
Only Qiu Ze had a satisfied smile on his face.
“Nephew, time is running out for me. You should think it through carefully.” After killing one person, Shi Cangying came behind another elder, also put his hand on the elder’s head, and then remained silent, quietly looking at Ye Jinghan.
Ye Jinghan tightly bit her red lip, and her lip was bitten through, bleeding bright red blood. She stared at Ye Hen and saw that Ye Hen kept shaking his head at her, knowing that her father did not agree with her to unlock the formation.
Ye Jinghan was suffering. Although she knew that the formation would definitely have no good end and would not improve her father’s current situation, but when she thought of the elder who was just killed, she felt extremely guilty and uneasy.
She always felt that the elder died because of her and was killed by her.
That elder also watched her grow up since childhood, loved her very much, often took her to play when she was a child, and taught her to practice when she grew up. But now he died right in front of her eyes.
She could only watch helplessly and was powerless to offer help.
As time slowly passed and Shi Cangying was about to strike again, Ye Jinghan suddenly became at a loss and didn’t know what to do.
And just at this moment, Shi Cangying suddenly smiled strangely and moved his hand from the head of the second elder to the head of the person next to that elder.
Ye Jinghan’s face suddenly turned pale and her delicate body trembled violently.
