A few days ago, since Zhu Diezhen received the message from Wei Aoshu, she immediately took action.
She summoned Elder Yao Changning and Elder Song Wuren.
With just a few words of probing, she caused Yao Changning and Song Wuren to panic and rebel.
But since Zhu Diezhen dared to summon them, how could she not be prepared for their desperate measures?
After a fierce battle, Zhu Diezhen successfully captured Yao Changning and Song Wuren.
From them, she learned about their collusion with the Blood Demon Sect.
After hearing this, Zhu Diezhen immediately brought these two to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.
And executed them on the spot.
After this incident, there was no longer any voice of opposition against Zhu Diezhen in the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.
However, how did Wei Aoshu know about Yao Changning and Song Wuren's rebellion?
Driven by curiosity, Zhu Diezhen decided to personally visit the Azure Cloud Sect and quietly meet with Wei Aoshu.
If this woman truly had exceptional qualities, Zhu Diezhen didn't mind giving her some rewards to aid her cultivation.
But on the way to the Azure Cloud Sect, passing through this place, she discovered sword energy soaring into the sky.
This made Zhu Diezhen furrow her brow slightly.
Did something happen at Baizhang Dao?
Zhu Diezhen immediately changed direction, heading towards where the sword energy originated.
If something really happened at Baizhang Dao, maybe she could profit from the chaos.
How could Zhu Diezhen possibly pass up such an opportunity?
Meanwhile, inside Baizhang Dao, fierce winds swept through.
Ye Yu and Wei Aoshu's clothes rustled in the wind.
They were on full alert, cautiously looking ahead.
At this moment, Ye Yu was already prepared to bring out the soul-summoning banner Slaughter Immortal.
But unexpectedly, the sword energy around Deng Zhenpo slowly dissipated.
His eyes revealed a hint of sorrow.
Slowly, he began to tell his own story.
Since he was very young, Deng Zhenpo was adopted by Situ Zongxing.
So as he grew up, Deng Zhenpo had long regarded Situ Zongxing as a father figure.
To make Situ Zongxing happy, Deng Zhenpo diligently practiced swordsmanship.
Decades later, he had surpassed his peers in the path of the sword, and with absolute strength, became the undisputed number one under Situ Zongxing at the Wujian Peak.
He was even hailed as a once-in-five-hundred-years sword genius of the Azure Cloud Sect.
At that time, Deng Zhenpo could be said to have been in the limelight.
However, Situ Zongxing did not show an overly pleased expression.
This made Deng Zhenpo very sad.
Later on, when the Azure Cloud Sect took control of Baizhang Dao, they needed an elder to lead their disciples to guard it.
So, Situ Zongxing decided to bring dozens of disciples from Wujian Peak to station there.
Originally, Deng Zhenpo's name was not on the list.
Even the sect master Luo Ze personally appeared to persuade him to stay, praising Deng Zhenpo's swordsmanship and high talent.
He said that perhaps in a hundred years, Deng Zhenpo could become a new elder of the Azure Cloud Sect.
But Deng Zhenpo resolutely refused Luo Ze's kindness. Very determinedly, he followed Situ Zongxing to this remote place.
Deng Zhenpo didn't ask for much. He just wanted recognition.
Yet, even after several hundred years, he still hadn't received Situ Zongxing's acknowledgment.
Moreover, as Deng Zhenpo's cultivation grew stronger, Situ Zongxing became increasingly indifferent toward him.
At first, Deng Zhenpo didn't understand the reason for this.
It wasn't until ten years ago, when he was patrolling Baizhang Dao as usual, that he was suddenly ambushed by three junior disciples and severely injured.
Deng Zhenpo couldn't understand, why would his junior brothers, who were as close as brothers, do something to him.
It was only when eighth junior brother Qian Jueku, swaying unsteadily, came from a distance. He personally told Deng Zhenpo the reason for this ambush.
As it turned out, Qian Jueku was Situ Zongxing's illegitimate son.
Publicly, this didn't seem like a big deal. But behind the scenes, Qian Jueku was highly favored.
Situ Zongxing even planned to pass Wujian Peak to Qian Jueku in the future.
But Deng Zhenpo's performance was too outstanding. If he didn't die, how could Qian Jueku naturally inherit Wujian Peak in the future?
Therefore, Deng Zhenpo had to die unexpectedly.
And most importantly, Situ Zongxing tacitly approved of this operation.
Once Deng Zhenpo knew, he felt as though his heart had turned to ashes.
He closed his eyes in resignation.
Then Qian Jueku personally took action, piercing his heart with a sword and throwing him into the depths of Mount Zhuxie.
But Deng Zhenpo's fate was not meant to end.
He was saved by Wan Boxiang, the sect master of Crimson Yin Cliff, who happened to pass by.
Half a year later, Deng Zhenpo's injuries were healed.
Wan Boxiang proposed a deal: Crimson Yin Cliff would help him seek revenge, but in return, Deng Zhenpo would have to serve them in the future.
Without hesitation, Deng Zhenpo immediately agreed to the deal.
Afterward, under his leadership, Crimson Yin Cliff easily avoided all the secret watchers, slaughtering their way into Baizhang Dao.
Deng Zhenpo not only personally killed Qian Jueku, but also cooperated with Wan Boxiang to kill Situ Zongxing.
That night, except for a few who chose to surrender, all Azure Cloud Sect disciples in Baizhang Dao died tragically.
Later on, Wan Boxiang ordered Deng Zhenpo to continue guarding Baizhang Dao as if nothing had happened.
But secretly, they began to share the spiritual herbs from Baizhang Dao with Crimson Yin Cliff.
Deng Zhenpo agreed to this.
Later, Wan Boxiang used a secret method to turn everyone in Baizhang Dao into puppets, making them appear flawless on the outside, without any hint of flaw.
Letting everything proceed as usual.
Sometimes, Deng Zhenpo looks at the false tranquility inside Baizhang Dao, and feels quite happy.
Perhaps, reality is the nightmare, and falsehood is the reality.
But all of this would be destroyed with the intrusion of Ye Yu and Wei Aoshu.
To preserve this illusion of peace, everyone who discovers this secret must die!
After hearing Deng Zhenpo's narrative, Wei Aoshu's expression became very solemn.
She never expected such intrigue and scheming within Wujian Peak.
It's truly despicable!
If only she had known earlier, she would never have come to this place.
But now, it was too late to say anything.
The priority was to think about how to break the situation.
At this moment, Wei Aoshu couldn't have imagined that behind her, Ye Yu had quietly raised his left hand, ready to knock her out and have a good fight.
There's no other reason.
With Wei Aoshu around, Ye Yu really couldn't go all out.
As the saying goes, "With a teammate's sacrifices, power knows no bounds."
Senior Sister, you don't have to sacrifice, but the condition is to lie down quietly without resisting!
Just as Ye Yu was preparing to act, a red light suddenly appeared from afar, falling to the ground like a meteor.
"Boom!"
The impact upon landing caused the ground to crack and fissure.
Several ancient buildings around them instantly collapsed.
Seeing this scene, Deng Zhenpo's eyes turned bloodshot.
To him, every blade of grass, every brick and tile here was precious. How could he allow anyone to destroy it?
He immediately roared and his sword energy surged wildly. The sword at his waist also unsheathed suddenly.
A fierce killing intent surged forth.
Meanwhile, Ye Yu and Wei Aoshu looked ahead with curiosity.
After the massive dust settled from the impact, a woman dressed in purple stood in place.
She stared foolishly at Ye Yu, opened her mouth, and with all her might, finally managed to say a sentence.
"Ye Yu, I've finally found you!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Aoshu felt puzzled.
Who is this woman?
And why does she know Ye Yu?
