Martialism

Chapter 40's

It was only the first day after the battle with the Honor Manor had just finished but everyone looked at each other nervously while waiting for the Heavenly Envoy to be presented.

Reverend Bai Chongzhen, Reverend Ling Kongquan, Reverend Liu Qingcheng, Nangong Le, Yi Ping, Mei’Er, Yu’Er and those who are not bedridden are all served in the Great Longevity Hall.

Reverend Ling Kongquan looked at Nangong Le and Yi Ping as he asked politely, "The Heavenly Saint has instructed us to pay his respects to him at dawn but more than two hours have passed. Hero Yi Ping, you seem to know enough of the Heavenly Envoy, where is he?"

Imam Liu Qingcheng interjected, "Brother protege, don't be rude. No matter how late the Heavenly Envoy was, he definitely had his reasons. It is the honor of the Quiet Clan for the Heavenly Envoy to decorate our place."

Reverend Bai Chongzhen said, "Indeed! We are all fortunate to be able to witness the divine grace of the Heavenly Envoy. That Heavenly Envoy must have been pondering all night to draw up a battle plan for our next action."

As Yi Ping listened, he started to smile bitterly and thought. "Why is everyone so respectful towards Lele and the Heavenly Palace? I've never heard of the Heavenly Palace…"

Not only Yi Ping but Nangong Le, Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng had also never heard of the existence of the Heavenly Palace. In fact, even most of the boxers in the Western Brotherhood did not even know that it actually existed!

The Heavenly Palace had existed as an imaginary legendary place and was only hinted at by a few people. Even the few people who had heard of the Heavenly Palace quickly considered it a myth.

That was why when the Heavenly Envoy appeared in the Sacred Hex Sect, he was instantly attacked as an intruder! It was only through his shocking display of martial arts that convinced Ji Wuzheng and Ji Lingfeng that he could have come from the Heavenly Palace.

Nangong Le laughed, "I'm sorry for my stupidity, but I've never heard of the Heavenly Palace before."

Reverend Ling Kongquan whispered, "That's because no one who has ever gone to that place has ever come back alive!"

Nangong Le smiled, "Right? If there were more beautiful women like the Heavenly Envoy there, I would very much like to visit the Heavenly Palace!"

Reverend Ling Kongquan, Reverend Bai Chongzhen and Reverend Liu Qingcheng immediately turned white from deathly pale.

Liu Qingcheng quickly pulled Nangong Le aside and whispered, "Brother Nangong, listen to me. The walls have ears. Trust me on this. You won't want to go there ... don't you see the evil long black scythe? This type of weapon is meant to torture and kill. Didn't you see her in her red dress? Red symbolizes blood.”.

Lie Qing who heard it, smiled as he said. "It seems like he's a terrible person. I wonder how his martial level is."

Yi Ping said quickly to Lie Qing, "He's not your enemy."

Lie Qing looked at Yi Ping and smiled. He finally got his attention.

He asked, "Why are you defending him? From the looks of it, she's fallen in love with you. Why are you so flirty? Maybe you can take my title .. my student's mistress I mean. You can become a Heavenly Teaser instead."

He deliberately glanced at Ji Lingfeng, who pretended not to hear and then looked at Ding Yun, Yu’Er and Mei’Er.

She added, "You seem to have forgotten us so quickly, especially Sister Youxue and Heavenly Fairy."

Yi Ping started to blush and did not know what to say.

He could only sigh in his heart. He owed a lot to Maiden Lingfeng and Maiden Youxue. They had risked their lives on many occasions just to save his life. How could he not know their affection now, especially Maiden Lingfeng?

Lie Qing stroked her braided long hair while thinking hard, "After all, your business has nothing to do with me. You better find me a rich husband so I can enjoy life to the fullest." He deliberately glanced at Nangong Le, who was grinning at his hint.

As he said that, there was a hint of melancholy emotion in his eyes and voice. Although barely noticeable but noticed by Lingfeng, Ding Yun, Yu’Er and Mei’Er.

That's because Yu’Er and Mei’Er have advanced past the development of ‘Spirit Connect’ of Double Humidity Complexity. If they are willing and attentive enough, they will be able to feel the emotions of others. So far, only their Protector Mistress, Xiao Shuai, Yuan Shao and Celestial Envoy had been unable to comprehend their Linking Spirits Skill.

As for Lingfeng, she was extraordinarily intelligent and quick in intelligence. Almost nothing escaped his attention. Only through his brilliant guide can his group reach the Quiet Mountains while being chased by Virtuous Palace and Honor Manor.

Ding Yun was good at observing and was extremely sharp. It was clear to him from his previous actions that Lie Qing had a lot of affection for Yi Ping. However, what he said now was clearly at odds with his actions. The only person Lie Qing could fool was Yi Ping.

Lie Qing had mixed feelings about the Heavenly Envoy.

It was because the Heavenly Envoy seemed to be looking at him more than the others and he even called him the Luminous Star. He seemed to know her but Lie Qing did not know where she had met him before even though she also had a familiar feeling about him.

When Lie Qing first saw the Heavenly Envoy, she was surprised to see his red eyes. That was because it could only mean one thing; he must have survived the Divine Disaster. How come?

Although his martial skills were truly astounding, it was hard to imagine what methods and techniques he used to overcome the Divine Disaster when he himself failed. He could still vividly recall the horrors of the Divine Disaster as if it had just happened yesterday.

He asked himself, "Is this just a trick to get close to me? Or had he managed to overcome the Divine Disaster just by chance?"

Although he wanted to ask the Heavenly Envoy but he knew that his question would not be answered because the different martial clans kept their martial secrets just for themselves, instead, just as he had lied to Yi Ping and Xiao Youxue.

The Heavenly Envoy would likely spread misinformation to him to teach him a hard lesson to pry into his affairs. Likewise if the Heavenly Envoy asked him about the Divine Disaster, he would not hesitate to lie to him either.

Lie Qing was worried about Yi Ping. It was because he was truly a gullible young man. The Heavenly Envoy definitely knew about Yi Ping's weakness and had something for him.

At this moment, Lie Qing and Ji Lingfeng were both thinking the same thing.

Suddenly, Lie Qing had a frightening thought and approached her answer. "Girl Lingfeng had promised to exchange her blood for the Heavenly Envoy to help Yi Ping. Don't tell me that his true intention was to drain Yi Ping's blood? That'sthat's true! Yi Ping had an internal strength that was much stronger than Maiden Lingfeng. …”

Meanwhile, Ji Lingfeng also thought. "They're all bloodsuckers. Yi Ping, we are surrounded by enemies. How do we get out of here alive? Is it so hard to live happily together? That Lie Qing and Lele, they all had red eyes and red eyes. Unfortunately... what should we do? This time I was completely out of my mind. Now I truly regret having helped him. Ding Yun, why did you let him drain your internal strength? If I knew he knew this type of evil skill, I would never even consider helping him."

Ji Lingfeng suddenly thought, "Yi Ping really dislikes this type of absorbing skill. If I told him, maybe he would be angry with Lie Qing and the Heavenly Envoy .. The Quiet Clan and the Traverse Clan are both orthodox clans. Such absorbing skills were considered evil in their eyes … "

His mind was interrupted by Yi Ping who asked Ding Yun gently, "Yun, you fainted yesterday. You better rest more. You have given Lie Qing all of your internal strength.I'm really worried about you…"

Ding Yun smiled weakly, "I'm fine. Thanks for your attention …"

He stole a glance at Lie Qing, who was smiling at him.

Ding Yun did not regret handing over his Divine Virtuous Force complicated energy to Lie Qing. Although he had lost all of his internal strength but he had moved Lie Qing deeply. It was only late at night that Lie Qing secretly searched for him and revealed martial secrets to him; to learn the true form of the Unbeatable Divine Power, to, the practitioner must first practice the Divine Power of Virtue and then let it be drained by the Unbeatable Divine Power!

Also, Lie Qing had deliberately concealed some complicated formula of the Unbeatable Divine Power from Xiao Youxue and him earlier. Lie Qing had apologized with full sincerity and revealed the missing complicated formula but he also told her that there was no point in having the complicated lost without first losing the Divine Power of Virtue. The missing intricate formula was for the Unbeatable Divine Power and not for their Divine Benevolent Power.

Lie Qing also told him not to worry. In just three days, if there was a practitioner with Unbeatable Divine Power to help him, he would definitely regain his internal strength. Not only would his internal strength be purer and stronger than before, he would also reach the last stage of the Divine Virtuous Force, which was actually only the initial stage of the Invincible Divine Force. This would give him the martial power to begin studying the Gold-tight Body that Xiao Shuai and Yuan Shao secretly coveted!

The Unbeatable Divine Power had five levels at once, the Virtue Level, the Piety Level, the True Level, the Holiness Level and the Divine Level.

Lie Qing had told him that he was only at a lower level of the Truth Level and the Holiness Level was almost impossible to achieve but in the past, there were some who had actually achieved it. As for the Divine Level, it was a mythical level and he doubted whether it was possible to achieve it.

Ding Yun asked him, "What happens if we can reach the Divine Level?"

Lie Qing smiled, "Then we are completely invincible and even a Divine Disaster is nothing to fear. However, no one could reach that stage. Some bored practitioners have speculated about its existence but no one can prove that it can. truly be achieved."

In the martial fraternity, there were many martial theories and heart complicated formulas. Some martial staging might seem impossible to achieve but as the practitioner's state of divinity was able to advance, so would their martial comprehension and previously impossible martial staging would become possible.

But there are also many complicated formulas that are pure theories and impossible to achieve in real practice.

Ji Lingfeng glanced at Lie Qing as she walked lightly over to Yi Ping, asking. "Yi Ping, don't you find it strange that Maiden Lie Qing is able to recover her internal strength so quickly? Is there anything so magical in this world? And Maiden Ding Yun coincidentally lost his internal strength."

Yi Ping clapped his hands as he said loudly, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"

Yi Ping happily walked towards Lie Qing while saying excitedly, "Qing’Er, you've completely recovered?"

Lie Qing and Ding Yun were shocked when Ji Lingfeng suddenly reminded Yi Ping that Lie Qing was practicing a kind of absorbing skill and she had drained Ding Yun's internal strength!

Lie Qing was scolded harshly by Yi Ping in the past for hinting that he might consider absorbing the internal strength of others.

He tried to maintain his composure as he looked at Yi Ping, saying nervously. "Yes…"

Yi Ping held his hand as he said, "Girl Yun has sacrificed so much. I hope you can repay him by teaching him the Unbeatable Divine Power. I know that martial skills, especially top-tier martial skills, are all forbidden arts and not one will impart to others. Ding Yun, he is really very pitiful. What he did was noble. Qing’Er, I implore you to give her the Unbeatable Divine Power … "

Yi Ping immediately knelt down in front of Lie Qing, making everyone dumbfounded as he continued to say. "I won't wake up unless you agree. I know that I have no right to ask you to do so …"

Ji Lingfeng and Lie Qing were completely dumbfounded!

Ji Lingfeng expected Yi Ping to start reprimanding Lie Qing while Lie Qing was expecting an awkward situation, she said, something like asking him to bring out Ding Yun's internal strength which he was unable to do and a loud scolding!

Lie Qing glanced at Ding Yun longingly, not knowing what to say. It was because he had given Ding Yun an Unbeatable Divine Power. Moreover, Lie Qing, Ding Yun and Xiao Youxue had an agreement that the protege leader of the New Virtue Palace was Yi Ping. But now the leader of their protege actually knelt down and begged him!

If you were Lie Qing, what would you do?

For the first time, Lie Qing was completely out of her mind as she blinked her eyes!

Ding Yun winked at him and walked next to him as he smiled shyly, "Sister Qing’Er …"

He grabbed Lie Qing's hand and wrote with a finger on his palm.

Suddenly, Lie Qing laughed softly.

Reverend Liu Qingcheng said to Yi Ping, "Hero Yi Ping, this is an impossible request. You better wake up and forget about it. If Maiden Ding Yun doesn't mind, I'll be willing to teach her the Complicated Power of Double Inertia."

Yu’Er interjected in melancholy, "Teacher protege.you are so prejudiced! You just taught Mei’Er and I the Double Inertial Complexion Formula. You never told us that there was such a thing as the Power of Inertial Crowd!"

Mei’Er said sadly as well, "We'd better say goodbye to you!"

Reverend Liu Qingcheng was startled as he quickly said, "My disciples are good! Wait, listen to me first. The power of Double Inertial Complexity can only be learned at the advanced stage of the Double Inertial Complexity Formula. Moreover, I will only harm you if I teach you that for it to run contrary to the complicated energies of your clan's Icy Heavenly Tears that are towards cold and negative forces.

Mei’Er stomped her feet as she said, "Master protege, you are so biased!"

Nangong Le could not help but add, "Brother Liu, you are so biased. You taught Yu’Er and Mei’Er Complexity Formula Dual Inertness but not me. You know that I am willing to join your protege clan at any time. That's why I'm here today."

Reverend Liu Qingcheng looked at Nangong Le and felt amused, "Omong is empty! It's bullshit! It's bullshit! With your jovial character, you will never join the Quiet Clan quietly. And the last time you wanted me to teach you the Double Moisture Complicated Formula; try bribing me to become the clan's patron saint instead!"

Nangong Le smiled cheerfully, "Alright then. Let's put Yu’Er and Mei’Er aside because they are your students now. What about Maiden Ding? I doubt he'll actually join your clan."

Priest Liu Qingcheng rebuked him impatiently, "What do you know? Even if I teach him the Double Moisture Complicated Power, I doubt he can truly master it. He would need many years to seek understanding for the advanced stage of the Double Inertness Complexity Formula first … "

Suddenly, Reverend Liu Qingcheng noticed that everyone was staring at him.

Priest Bai Chongzhen, Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng all said at the same time, "Protective Master Priest Liu, you just said vulgar words!"

Reverend Ling Kongquan pointed to the white wall in front and said, "Sister of the Children and Teacher of the Learners, the rules of the protege clan described there did not mention any obscenities within the Great Longevity Hall. The clan's punishment for breaking it, is…"

Reverend Liu Qingcheng protested, "This bastard Nangong must have influenced me …"

Reverend Ling Kongquan said, "And again…"

Imam Liu Qingcheng ahem loudly, "I am a Teacher of the Learners. I made the rules!"

Reverend Ling Kongquan and Nangong Le said at the same time, "So disrespectful to the old grandmasters …"

Reverend Liu Qingcheng said hurriedly, "What is the punishment of the clan for disrespecting the protege leader?"

Reverend Ling Kongquan immediately kept silent.

Nangong Le laughed out loud, "Luckily I'm not yet your protege."

Reverend Liu Qingcheng said, "Not for long. I've decided to bring you in now!"

Nangong Le laughed, "Then, do you not regret it. In that case, you should teach me the Double Inertial Complexion Formula?"

Reverend Liu Qingcheng laughed out loud, "You bastard. You wanted this all along, didn't you?"

Nangong Le and Ling Kongquan laughed out loud and their laughter was contagious. Immediately everyone laughed together except for Yi Ping who was still staring at Lie Qing seriously.

Nangong Le, Reverend Liu Qingcheng and Reverend Ling Kongquan had always been close friends. That's why they can flirt with each other openly.

Ding Yun interrupted with a smile, "Master Liu, you just said that you are willing to teach me the Complicated Power of Double Inertness. Do you really mean it? As a grandmaster of a reputable orthodox clan, do you mean what you just said? ?"

Imam Liu Qingcheng sighed, "Today is not my day. I have obtained useless proteges and now I will just give my clan's secret martial skills away."

Ding Yun smiled, "I take that as a yes. In return, I will leave the Flying Sword Technique and the Divine Virtue Force Skills in writing to you."

Priest Liu Qingcheng's eyes began to shine brightly. He had long wanted to see the complicated formula of the Divine Benevolent Power, even if he could not practice it! This could increase his understanding of the Double Inertial Complexity Formula and improve his divinity status!

Imam Bai Chongzhen was envious, interrupting. "Maiden Ding, maybe you'll be interested in the Traverse Skill. After all, we are one of the seven major orthodox clans in the martial fraternity …"

He was interrupted by Yi Ping, who was now bowing to Lie Qing, "Qing’Er, please say something …"

Lie Qing deliberately sighed, "Wake up first."

Yi Ping said, "You've agreed?"

Lie Qing nodded slowly, "But on one condition. Awake first. I'm not comfortable with you kneeling."

Yi Ping quickly got up as he said excitedly, "Only one condition? Even ten conditions, I'll agree!"

Lie Qing smiled mysteriously, "Don't hurry first. You may regret it."

Yi Ping said, "As long as it's not a bad thing, I won't regret it!"

Lie Qing started to blush as she said gently, "Is that so?"

Yi Ping said, "How is the condition?"

Lie Qing began to caress her hair while throwing her face shyly, "Not yet. I'll tell you soon."

Yi Ping said loudly to Lie Qing, "Qing’Er, you are so good!"

Yi Ping quickly walked up to Ding Yun and said, "Yun, you should thank Qing’Er. He has agreed to give you the Unbeatable Divine Power!"

Ding Yun looked at her gently, "Yi Ping, you shouldn't be doing this for me, especially in front of so many people. Thanks…"

Ding Yun said to Lie Qing, "Thank you!"

Lie Qing and Ding Yun quietly exchanged glances, trying very hard not to laugh out loud.

Yu’Er, Mei’Er and Ji Lingfeng almost fainted on the spot. How could Yi Ping not know what Lie Qing and Ding Yun were up to?

Ji Lingfeng said to Yi Ping, "Yi Ping, you shouldn't have done that for her. You are a stubborn hero!"

Yi Ping was surprised, "Lingfeng, why are you scolding me? I didn't make a mistake."

Ji Lingfeng smiled coldly, "You really haven't done anything wrong or are just happy to disturb my mood?"

Yi Ping protested frantically, "Lingfeng, what exactly did I do wrong? If you don't tell me, how do I know what I've done wrong?"

Ji Lingfeng kicked him lightly, "Only you are the hero. You're trying to make me look bad by saying it out loud …"

Yi Ping said weakly, "Sick you know. My lukaku has not healed…"

Ji Lingfeng interrupted, "That's none of my business."

Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng protested and circled around. Anyone who has ever seen it firsthand knows that it is not an actual quarrel, but rather an envious sight that can only be enjoyed by two very close friends. They seemed to have forgotten that there were dozens of spectators in the hall.

Lie Qing, Ding Yun, Yu’Er and Mei’Er sighed silently and wondered when they would be in the same position as Maiden Lingfeng.

"Lingfeng, where's my secret manual?"

"Huh! Let's take it if you can. This is to teach you not to listen to me!"

"Lingfeng, when have I never listened to you? You ... asked me to quietly leave the valley, I did. You asked me to go to the Sacred Hex Sect to look for you, I did."

"Solid, solid, solid! I didn't ask you to make so many friends ... Yeah, young girls along the way, right? Well, you don't have to go there anymore."

"Why? You mad at me, Lingfeng?"

"Fainting! Because I'm here right now.you...do that on purpose, right?"

"Really, I don't. You know sometimes I'm solid …"

Suddenly, Ji Lingfeng and Yi Ping stopped in their tracks. It was because they could sniff out the scent of lavender that had suddenly appeared. It came from Lele and he was now standing at the entrance of the hall.

Priest Liu Qingcheng quickly announced, "The Heavenly Saint is here!"

The students from the Tranquil and Traverse Clans quickly arranged themselves in neat columns.

Lele looked at Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng calmly. Although he looked calm but his cold demeanor was not wrong anymore!

Yi Ping said, "Lele, you're late …"

Lele's tone of voice was icy cold, "You should call me the Goddess of Joy, so should everyone here."

Ji Lingfeng looked at him with silent determination. Even though she did not say anything, it was as if her alluring eyes could speak. It was as if he was telling the Goddess of Joy that he would not give in to any threat and handed Yi Ping over.

Yi Ping was startled as he thought, "Why is he so cold to me today? It's so different with him."

Reverend Liu Qingcheng quickly added, "The Goddess of Excitement must have stayed late enough to contemplate a stratagem to defeat the Honor of Manor. That's why he's late. It's very understandable."

Lele could not help but laugh softly. He tried very hard to be cold towards Yi Ping. It was because he was not entirely happy to see Yi Ping and Lingfeng in such a friendly relationship. And moreover, Lingfeng was a very alluring girl and already in the hall, there were many who were already infatuated with her.

Lele is not called the Goddess of Joy for no reason. He rarely approaches things with a heavy heart and acts purely on the basis of desire.

When the Celestial Emperor wanted to appoint a Heavenly Envoy to the Sacred Hex Sect to control and understand the situation, Lele volunteered.

The Celestial Emperor said to him, "You are one of the four Prime Ministers and you haven't even fully recovered from your last sleep cycle. Stay where you are. I'll appoint someone else to go."

But Lele did not even listen or pay attention and immediately left the Heavenly Palace, greatly comforting the Jade Emperor. The Celestial Emperor had given up on denouncing him for centuries as he sighed, "Does he know that I'm still talking to him or does his mind already flutter with the things he wants to do in the fraternity?"

The Celestial Emperor was puzzled for a while until he suddenly gasped, "He doesn't even know the mission at all!"

If anyone thought Lele was like that, as the Jade Emperor thought; then they must be very wrong! That's how clever Lele really is. He had joined the Heavenly Palace when he was very young and that was what he wanted others to think about him in this way. That was his way of avoiding responsibility and he was never assigned to bring the super exponent back to the Heavenly Palace because no one really trusted him to do any task in the right way!

That was how and why Lele became a Heavenly Envoy …

Not only did the Jade Emperor and the others think the same about him, even Yi Ping felt that he was living in his own world. What Yi Ping did not realize was that Lele was actually very lonely and he appreciated every opportunity to express himself.

Lele stroked her long hair while laughing softly, "Yi Ping, how did I look today?"

Yi Ping was startled by his question. Yi Ping scratched his nose as he said, "Look great …"

But he added, "Lele …"

Lele looked annoyed, "Fun Goddess!"

Yi Ping sighed, "A Delightful Goddess then …"

Lele said cheerfully, "Good. Real nice. You can call me Lele now."

This time it was Yi Ping who looked annoyed, "Lele! You!"

Lele laughed softly, "Good boy! Remember only you can call me by my name."

He deliberately swept his eyes at everyone. Intention's clear. Only Yi Ping had the privilege of calling him by his real name.

Lie Qing clearly thought that it was not funny as he slowly yawned and brandished his black sword. He almost raised his sword to point at Lele.

Yi Ping was obviously annoyed as he said, "You obviously humiliated me in front of so many others!"

Lele looked at him with her watery eyes, "I give you such a great honor yet you don't appreciate it. Did you know that you shouldn't reveal my real name under any circumstances? It is a brotherly rule. Most of the exponents in the fraternity use the name of the brotherhood to represent themselves. Unless I have given permission, you should not introduce my name to anyone else. I've not finished this score with you. Now everyone knows my name … "

Yi Ping was startled as he looked frantically around him. When he saw Qiu Wufeng and Gongsun Jing nod at him, he immediately knew that he had made a big mistake.

Yi Ping immediately said, "Sorry. I really don't know .. Please forgive me …"

Lele smiled, "Since you are quick to apologize, I forgive you then! Remember, you cannot call me by my name in front of others. Does that understand? You're a dumb third-rate boxer who doesn't know anything."

Yi Ping smiled bitterly, "I understand now."

Although Lele seemed to be reprimanding Yi Ping, she was actually teaching him lightly like a mentor.

It was such an envious sight that many in the hall wished sadly that they were the ones being lectured by it.

Yi Ping sighed and asked, "Lele. You're late today. Are you making plans for us to fight Honor Manor?"

Lele had a mysterious look in her eyes as she asked gently, "Yi Ping, how do I look today?"

Yi Ping sighed. He really doesn't know what's on his mind. This was the second time he had asked the same question.

But he was patient with her and said, "You look great? Surely you've asked us to come together so early for some reason?"

Lele sighed softly, "These are two completely different reasons."

Yi Ping was puzzled as he asked, "Huh?"

Lele said, "You've asked me why I'm late, am I right?"

Yi Ping nodded and said, "That's right."

Lele said, "The reason why I was late was because I was bathing in the Quiet Pool. I had heard that it was a famous pond even before I was transcendent as a Heavenly. Today, I finally visited him."

Reverend Liu Qingcheng nearly fainted on the spot while Reverend Ling Kongquan stumbled weakly backwards when they heard him!

That was because the Quiet Pool was their most sacred pool and no one had ever bathed in pure water before. It was considered immoral to do so!

Lele continued, "That's the reason why I asked if you saw anything different about me?"

Yi Ping clapped his hands as he said, "No wonder you look so great and have such a beautiful fragrance around you. No wonder!"

Yi Ping looked at Lele intently and he did not realize that Lingfeng had covered her face with her hands in embarrassment, while Yu’Er and Mei’Er tried very hard not to giggle at her. He did not realize that the proteges of the Quiet Clan all had shocked expressions on their faces.

Even Lie Qing and Ding Yun sighed in silence and wished they did not know who Yi Ping was because he humiliated himself with his ignorance.

The Tranquil Pool is famous throughout the martial fraternity for its pure and rumored magical water that can clear the mind for mediation.

Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng were all dumbfounded as well and quietly thought, "Is he really our foster brother?"

Fortunately, Yi Ping was a hero while Lele was an esteemed Heavenly Envoy so no one dared to say a word.

Imam Bai Chongzhen thought, "Someone really dares to bathe in the Quiet Pool and someone who is already a super exponent in the martial fraternity does not know the Quiet Pool … it will be a martial fraternity knowledge as one of the most unusual events happened and I actually witnessed it today. What an honor, an honor … "

Lele lowered his gaze and even his voice softened to the point of barely being heard, "I've asked you all here to gather in the morning because I don't want anyone to insult my humility when I swim casually."

Yi Ping nodded in agreement, "That's right! This all makes sense now. It would be bad if someone else saw you."

Suddenly, Yi Ping gasped. "What about our battle plan?"

Lele said coldly as he looked at everyone, "You've all been gathered here since morning, surely you've discussed the best course of action?"

Yi Ping looked at Lele as he said, "But we are waiting for you!"

Lele asked, "What have you all been doing since morning?"

Everyone was too embarrassed to say anything and looked at each other with awkward expressions.

Bai Chongzhen's priest looked at Reverend Liu Qingcheng, who was still in a daze before he said to Lele and everyone. "It is still not too late for us to discuss our next course of action."

Qiu Wufeng said, "That's true. Let's fight it out."

Lie Qing lifted her long skirt while gripping her black sword as she stepped forward, asking Lele, "So the Goddess of Joy asked us here just because she wants to enjoy her bath?"

Although it was obvious to everyone but no one dared to mention it except Lie Qing.

Lele smiled, "My good brother .. we need to talk …"

Lie Qing interrupted coldly, "Who is your good sister? So the Heavenly Envoy who came to help us had actually asked us to come together since the early hours of the morning so that he could take a bath?…"

Lele sighed softly, "Of course not! I have another very important reason to ask everyone to be here."

Lie Qing asked, "Which one?"

Lele said, "Tomorrow is Yi Ping and my wedding. This is very important to me and I hope everyone can attend."

Everyone, including Yi Ping and Ding Yun were stunned.

Yi Ping asked frantically, "Who will get married tomorrow? Any more?

Lele pointed at Yi Ping, "You."

Yi Ping asked, "I? Why don't I know?"

Lele smiled, "Now you're doing it. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will get married tomorrow and this is our guest."

Yi Ping was so shocked by Lele's announcement that he simply stared blankly into the air!

Nangong Le could not help but add a sarcastic laugh, "Welcome to marry a beautiful girl."

Ji Lingfeng smiled bitterly. His voice was soft but everyone could hear him, "As if we had a choice not to attend. We're all stuck here…"

Lie Qing said coldly, "I protest."

Lele smiled coldly, "Good brother, your protest is invalid."

Lie Qing was dumbfounded at his egocentric behavior that he had raised his fist and had unleashed three quick punches to slap him, saying. "We're all in great danger and you still have the mood to celebrate your wedding? That is too much, even if you are from the Heavenly Palace!"

Lie Qing was quick, in the blink of an eye he attacked three times but Lele calmed down as he parried his punch with his sleeve.

Lie Qing was so angry that he actually used his martial power when he missed, because the powerful might of the Unbeatable Divine Power could be felt!

Lele said coldly, "Luminous Star, are you really serious ?!" As he said, there was a thunderous impact when Lele received a punch from Lie Qing with his Heavenly Power!

Even Yi Ping was forced to retreat three steps while the weaker boxers fell to the ground as they were all within close range!

Lie Qing groaned in disbelief that Lele could truly receive the almighty power of the Unbeatable Divine Power in such a short amount of time. His achievements in the Unbeatable Divine Power were so advanced that he could exert his martial power whenever he wanted and it was truly a difficult thing to achieve for most exponents. That was because to the exponents of the martial fraternity, the time and ability to react were crucial, holding the key to their own survival!

Lie Qing was so determined to hit Lele that he used "Pandora’ Darkness Day, charging his five channels of Unbeatable Divine Power energy into his fingers as he struck Lele repeatedly! "I'm not a Glowing Star. I am the Darkness."

Lele had increased his internal strength through Celestial Force as he exchanged punch after punch with Lie Qing, absorbing the powerful impact of Lie Qing's punch with the absorbing martial power of his Celestial Force!

He was secretly shocked by Lie Qing's martial power and panicked, wondering how long he could last in this duel. Every blow he absorbed from it, his Heavenly Strength began to weaken.

Even though they had only exchanged a few words but over fifty blows had been exchanged, knocking people down, overturning the decorations and shattering the furniture from the wind force that exploded from their hard blows!

Imam Bai Chongzhen said frantically, "Everyone, come back!"

Imam Liu Qingcheng pleaded loudly, "Stop fighting. Unfortunately, there was no battle in the Longevity Hall …"

Ding Yun, Ji Lingfeng, Yu’Er and Mei’Er quickly went to Yi Ping and shook him loudly, "Yi Ping, ask them to stop before it's too late…"

But Yi Ping was completely blown away by their fight and did not notice it…

Yi Ping thought, "Why didn't I know Qing’Er was so skilled? What kind of punches are they using? I didn't know their punches could be so exciting."

Yi Ping had dueled Lele on many occasions, so he knew very well how to perfect his skills. He had only watched Lie Qing show his martial skills only once and it was against Ye Lu and Qiao Feng being injured. So of course, he was stunned to see his true martial appearance!

Just as Yi Ping was about to step forward to beg them to stop, he was attacked by a headache that caused his vision to blur!

As he looked at Lie Qing and Lele again, he suddenly found their movements extremely familiar as if he had seen them before!

Without hymns and excuses, he was suddenly in a dream. He saw a young man with a noble character and three heavenly maidens. The strong sunset rays seemed to have turned their eyes red. Surprisingly, he had not been able to see their faces, that was the impression he had of them.

The young man suddenly got into a fight with three angels. The dream seems to have moved forward and two angels have fallen to the ground. The third heavenly maiden seemed to have lost her fighting spirit and knelt on the ground. He cried in silence and waited for the young man to end his life.

Somehow, the young man seemed unhappy with the victory. There was a bit of sadness in his eyes. He walked away quietly and found a secluded place to meditate. Many years seemed to have passed as the young man continued to meditate but he did not seem to grow old.

Finally, the young man opened his eyes and looked up at the sky as he looked at the bright stars in the sky above which were wavering. His eyes were grayish and seemed to be void of light. Suddenly, the bright star became extremely faint and seemed to fall from the sky!

The young man said grimly, "Even after three hundred and thirty-three years, you still can't put this down? You will not succeed and this will make you lose your Ascend. What right do I have to criticize you? Even after three hundred and thirty-three years, I can't put this down either."

He began to rise and was now somewhere else.

The place was like a dangerous underground labyrinth but this young man carefully dismantled all the booty traps before he reached the center of the labyrinth.

The middle of the labyrinth was as terrifying as the stone rooms Yi Ping had visited before.

Once again, the young man saw the angel of heaven that had survived many years ago.

He said softly, "You came to stop me? It's too late. The Heavenly Formation is already moving and without my divine power to unseal it, you cannot stop me now."

He still looks the same but is very weak. As he stared intently into his eyes, he smiled gently, "You have reached Ascend? Why are you still here? After all these years, you still refuse to let me go?"

The young man said calmly, "Why are you so foolish as to give up your precious life? Do you know how many painful years of cultivation and fortune governed by Divine Fate have brought you this far?"

The heavenly maiden said softly, "I am not as cruel as you. That's why you can ‘Like’ while I can't. Even if I had to do it again, I would."

The young man said, "You have not attained enlightenment. Your sister is destined to die. Only you can climb. It's not too late. Stop it before your life force is completely depleted."

The heavenly maiden said coldly, "My sisters were killed by you!"

The young man said, "We are on the opposite side and have no choice …"

The heavenly maiden interrupted weakly, "Why don't you leave me to my destiny and complete your Ascend, rather than linger with a lower human like me?"

The young man said, "You won't make it. There are too many variables involved. Moreover, this involves the fate of the three of you. One destiny is already too unexpected and moreover, you are trying to move the three destinies as you wish. "

The heavenly girl smiled weakly, "Do you think I don't know? I have spent years trying to predict. Only Melody Star has the best chance of succeeding .. I'm quite happy to be in her time .. We'll definitely be satisfied. Our score is with you when the time comes … "

He had now fallen to the ground and had turned into glittering dust!

When he was crushed into nothingness, the young man had a great sense of loss. He raised his hand and said, "I have reached the highest level of the Translucent Void a long time ago, but why do I feel so lost?"

He stretched out his fingers to touch the still glittering lights and suddenly remembered that he and the three sisters had been sworn enemies for over a thousand years, he said, long before they even began the path to divinity.

He suddenly turned pale and there were tears in his eyes for the first time in a thousand years. The gleaming light contained the last remnants of Yun Xiao's memories. On their final battle, the three sisters had considered losing to him so that he could reach Ascend, a rare opportunity that they had all been waiting for years to come.

"Why…"

She was the reason why the three sisters pushed themselves so hard …

"Jun Xiao's heavenly star formation, can I feel it now?"

The young man laughed out loud, "I didn't ride because I was guilty. Where are the others who have ascended? Instead of a new state of divinity, they had all been turned into ashes and nothingness. Did you know that you saved my life? Today, I finally understood that I was the most stupid. My enlightenment came late.”.

The young man also exploded into a glowing ball of light and became void even as his silent words could be felt saying, "I'll help you to Hike … this is the smallest thing I can do for all of you even if the odds are one. a million."

Yi Ping shouted loudly and painfully as Lingfeng pinched him hard and stomped her feet.

Lingfeng, Ding Yun, Mei’Er and Yu’Er said frantically at the same time, "Why are you daydreaming at such a time! Hurry up and stop them before it's too late!"

Yi Ping shouted frantically, "Stop!!!"

Yu’Er shook her head, "It's useless. They can't hear us now. The power within negates all other distractions from outside…"

Lele and Lie Qing had fought from fast to slow-motion. Although they looked unhurried as they exchanged blows like normal exponents but they left deep footprints to the floor with each step and emitted waves of deadly internal energy!

Exponents such as Reverend Bai Chongzhen, Reverend Liu Qingcheng, Reverend Ling Kongquan, Ding Yun and Lingfeng immediately knew that being hit by any of them, meant instant death!

At this moment, they were surrounded by their martial power as their martial power reached its peak. No one could get close to them or they were instantly destroyed by the inertial forces around them. Even metal would be bent and wood would crack with just their presence now!

As Lie Qing clashed repeatedly with Lele, blood tickled from the tip of her pink lips. He had used all of his martial power, yet he could not benefit from Lele. Their fight had degenerated from exchanging blows to a contest of punishing oneself with pure internal force. If he did not use his Unbeatable Divine Power in full, just exchanging blows with Lele would kill him!

Lele was not lucky either. He had just coughed up blood again when he received another blow from Lie Qing! He had trained his internal strength to the brim so the air around him was extremely electrifying. His Heavenly Power might be able to absorb the martial power of the Unbeatable Divine Power, but it was now weighing heavily on him now!

Lele smiled weakly at Lie Qing, "Why don't you give up now? I'm letting go of your rude offense this time."

Lie Qing said weakly, "I will only stop if you give up first and you must first apologize to everyone for being late …"

Lele interjected, "You were the first to raise your fist at me. You're more unreasonable than me…!"

Just as Yi Ping was about to run into their midst, Ding Yun and Lingfeng held him in panic!

Yi Ping asked frantically, "Quick! We have to stop them. If this continues, they will both die!"

Ding Yun was serious as he threw his flying sword into their midst!

Yi Ping was stunned as he raised his voice, "Yun, what are you doing!"

But even before the flying sword reached them, it was deflected by the invisible force around them and flew to the roof of the hall!

Ding Yun said softly, "You'll die if you just walk in …"

But before Ding Yun was done, Yi Ping had increased his entire martial power with the Aspire Invocation and had broken away from the clutches of Ding Yun and Lingfeng, charging into the midst of Lele and Lie Qing!

Even before Yi Ping reached their midst, his eyes had turned red and he used the final battle of his martial power to take one punch from Lele and one more blow from Lie Qing at the same time!

There was a huge explosive force when Yi Ping received their blows as he coughed up blood!

When Lie Qing and Lele saw Yi Ping running into their midst, they had already pulled half of their martial power in panic but it was still not fast enough!

"Yi Ping!" The two girls shouted loudly.

Yi Ping coughed up more blood as he fell with one knee to the ground. He smiled weakly, "Good. Now you can hear me …"

Lele rebuked Yi Ping, "Why are you so stupid? Did you know you would die if you just broke through?"

Yi Ping said weakly, "There is no other way to attract your attention.if your fight continues, you two will definitely die from internal injuries."

Lie Qing was agitated as she said, "Yi Ping …"

Yi Ping was right. If it lasted for another minute, both Lie Qing and Lele would definitely die from their internal injuries.

Lingfeng was the first to run to Yi Ping, followed by Ding Yun, Yu’Er and Mei’Er!

Lingfeng immediately felt her pulse and solemnly, "Your complicated energy is erratic now. Even if you can restore it to normal, you will not be in time to use your internal strength. Close your eyes and restore yourself first. I'll use my own internal strength to guide your erratic energy in the right direction. There is no time to lose if you do not want to lose your internal power permanently. "

With that, they sat down.

Lingfeng wanted to reprimand Yi Ping but in the end, when she saw the extent of her internal injuries, her heart was too sad to reprimand her.

Ding Yun held onto Lie Qing and Lele's hands as he said softly, "The two of you suffered severe internal injuries. Until you guys fully recover, it's best that you two survive by using any internal force."

Ding Yun added calmly, "Is it worth it? You two are fighting with your internal strength in this way just to prove something?"

Lie Qing and Lele looked at each other timidly.

Lie Qing said softly, "I just want to slap him for being so selfish. He's obviously playing us."

Lele looked injured as he quickly said, "I don't want to fight with you, Luminous Star …"

Lie Qing interrupted coldly, "You can call me Maiden Lie. I'm not like someone who doesn't dare to use his real name."

She was the opposite of Lele; she dared to use her own name but not her brotherly name.

Lele said, "I don't want to fight you, Lie Qing but you have left me with no choice."

Lie Qing said coldly, "I'm not so close to you that you can call me by my name."

Lele said dejectedly, "Lie Qing, don't be angry huh? I'm sorry for you …"

Everyone was astonished that Lele had taken the initiative to apologize to Lie Qing!

Lele looked at Yi Ping dejectedly before seeing Lie Qing again. He turned to everyone and said softly, "I'm sorry for being late for everyone …"

Lie Qing was surprised that he had actually apologized to everyone. It was completely unexpected and out of character for the Goddess of Joy who seemed to look at everyone with disdain to apologize.

Lele repeated softly, "I apologize to everyone again. I hope everyone will forgive me for being late."

Lie Qing sighed softly while thinking, "Maybe the Goddess of Joy isn't that bad. I should have controlled my impulses better…"

Reverend Liu Qingcheng said solemnly, "Slow is just a small matter. We have to plan the next path on how to fight the Honor Manor."

He asked, "Fun Goddess, where are the other people from the Heavenly Palace? Will they arrive soon?"

The Goddess of Joy looked timid as she sighed softly, "How far do you think we are from the Sacred Hex Sect? The other Heavenly Emissaries will go there. I'm the only one here …"

Of course Lele did not dare to tell them that he was a fake Heavenly Envoy without a mission. He did not even know if there was another Heavenly Envoy that was on his way to the Sacred Hex Sect.

Mei’Er said sadly, "There is no hope. We better give up."

Reverend Bai Chongzhen asked, "What do you mean? Surrender? Never does. We would rather die in battle than surrender dishonorably!"

Mei’Er looked at everyone while Lele and Lie Qing looked timidly, "What are our chances of winning now? The Goddess of Joy, Girl Lie Qing and Master Yi Ping all suffered internal injuries and could not fight in the short term. The rest of us have no hope of winning at all."

Suddenly, the truth descended profusely like a thunderbolt that boomed onto everyone in the hall!

Lie Qing felt so bad now that his eyes became watery. Mei’Er right. They just lost their only hope of survival now …

Lele smiled gently to Lie Qing, "Lie Qing, you don't need to look so depressed. Even if we have our internal strength, we have no hope against Virtuous Palace."

Everyone is surprised.

Lie Qing asked, "What do you mean?"

Lele said, "Why do you think I'm having my wedding tomorrow?"

Just when Lie Qing started to have a good impression of the Goddess of Joy, she seemed to be returning to her own world again. But Lie Qing was too tired to guess or remind him to get straight to the point so he simply said, "Why?"

Lele said softly, "That's because my prophecy shows that we will all end up losing in three days. We are not at all a match for them. That's why I'm having my wedding tomorrow to spend my last days with Yi Ping … "

He glanced at Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Ding Yun, Lingfeng and Lie Qing as he looked at them pitifully. It was as if he wanted to tell them about the cruel fate that awaited them within three days.

When everyone heard that, they could only smile the most bitterly.

Even Lie Qing and Ding Yun were dumbfounded to hear his reply.

Yu’Er smiled bitterly at Lele. "Goddess My Joy. Your prediction is very true. We don't have a chance now!" He was indirectly sarcastic.

He wanted to say on behalf of everyone, "How can you base our fighting chances on such an irrational thing as a prophecy. Now it's really come true because of you."

Lie Qing trembled, "We might not lose if we give our best.but now…"

Mei’Er wanted to cry out loud but she held back her tears as she said, "If only our protege mistress was here. Then we have nothing to fear from the Palace of Virtue."

Lele sighed softly, "I'm worried that even if your protege mistress is here, the result will remain the same!"

Mei’Er said coldly, "Who said? That Xiao Shuai seems to be afraid of our protege's mistress!"

Ding Yun said, "He is not afraid of your protege's mistress. Or rather he gave the order not to hurt the students of the Eternal Ice Palace. Or do you think that even if you have ten lives, you can even survive the battle yesterday.with Xiao Da?"

Mei’Er asked curiously, "Why did she give such an order?"

Ding Yun shook his head, "I don't know the real reason but he seems to know the Celestial Fairy."

Yu’Er asked, "Is Virtuous Palace so formidable? Surely, Master Yi Ping, Maiden Lie Qing and the Joyful Goddess can match their martial skills?"

Lele said softly, "I lost to Yuan Shao that night …"

That night, Yi Ping, Ding Yun and Zuo Tianyi had also been defeated by him!

He did not want to reveal to anyone that he planned to sacrifice himself to take down Yuan Shao. That was why she decided to hold the wedding even though she would invite ridicule and humiliation. But now, he could not even gather the Celestial Force…

Ding Yun said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Shao definitely plans on using the Dark Mono Sword Formation to fight us."

Lie Qing asked, "What is it?"

Ding Yun said, "If this sword formation consists of three super exponents, then it is able to withstand the strength of nine super exponents. That's his power."

Lele coughed softly as he asked weakly, "Is there any way to break this sword formation?"

Ding Yun sighed softly, "Difficult. The change is huge. And if the formation consisted of the three of them, then they were completely invincible."

Suddenly, Yi Ping coughed up black blood and opened his eyes!

Everyone who knew Yi Ping called out his name!

"Yi Ping!"

"Are you much better now?"

"How are you feeling now?"

Lingfeng was surprised that she could clear her blocked ducts and spew out evil blood so quickly. Usually, bad blood will remain in the body until it can disappear slowly. This process can take anywhere from weeks, months to years!

He was astonished by his constitution!

Yi Ping was overwhelmed by the worry shown to him as he said, "Brother Nangong, Brother Qiu, Brother Gongsun! Yun, Lele, Qing’Er, Lingfeng, Yu’Er, Mei’Er …"

He got up and said weakly, "Lingfeng, I'm fine now. Thank you for helping me …"

Lingfeng was so happy that she started to hold on tightly to him as she helped support him.

Yi Ping looked at everyone as he said weakly, "I've heard what Yun said. No problem, I will definitely fight them with my last breath."

Yi Ping asked Ding Yun, "How strong is Xiao Da and Xiao Fei when compared to Zuo Tianyi?"

Ding Yun instead asked him, "How strong do you think Youxue and the Heavenly Elf really are? Then you will know that Zuo Tianyi is just a small fish."

Yi Ping could not hold his breath when he thought of Xiao Youxue …

But he quickly said, "Why compare Yixian and Youxue with them? Their martial skills were not far from Lele …"

Lele interrupted with a smile, "Fun Goddess."

Yi Ping said weakly, "Does that mean that Xiao Da and Xiao Fei's martial abilities are also weaker than the Goddess of Joy?"

Yi Ping's reply shocked Ding Yun, Lie Qing and Qiu Wufeng.

Qiu Wufeng said, "You are also in the Heavenly Mountains. Surely you have witnessed the Heavenly Elf fighting alone against so many top exponents?"

Yi Ping suddenly recalled the scene that day…

Qiu Wufeng added, "Do you know how strong Tian Kui really is? He was considered one of the top super exponents in the martial fraternity. Even Gongsun Bai did not dare to underestimate him!"

Heavenly Elves and Tian Kui had fought that day at the peaks of the Heavenly Mountains! Yixian had known Tian Kui for a long time and held back. Tian Kui was probably the only person who had dueled with him before and survived.

Yi Ping only saw Yixian as a vulnerable girl who needed to be protected and not so much her martial skills …

Ding Yun added, "You should have known about this. Youxue nearly killed the Heavenly Fairy that day …"

Youxue had defeated Tian Kui and the Heavenly Elf alone!

Lie Qing continued weakly, "If not for fear of Youxue, I might have left you a long time ago. Did you know that he has mastered ‘Golden Bodytight’ in his young age and has reached its peak. The power of his Divine Virtue?"

Ding Yun said, "Why do you think he could steal the Gold Rejuvenation Pill from under Xiao Shuai's nose and be able to avoid the Virtue Palace for so many years? Pure luck? Did you know that Xiao Da was most afraid of whom? He was none other than Xiao Yuanjia and Youxue had defeated him!"

Lie Qing added, "I secretly observed their fight from a distance. Xiao Yuanjia was ten times more deadly than Xiao Da…"

Yi Ping suddenly flinched as he recalled the first time he saw Youxue; he had already displayed his incredible martial power in an endless manner.

He muttered, "I didn't know that Youxue was this strong …"

He quickly asked, "If Youxue is this strong, how could Yixian fatally wound him?"

Lie Qing remained silent. He did not dare to tell Yi Ping that he had also hurt Youxue.

No one else but Lie Qing, Ding Yun, Nangong Le and Zuo Tianyi could imagine the martial level of Youxue unless they had witnessed her fight with the Heavenly Elves!

Ding Yun looked at Lie Qing before he said, "The Heavenly Core is a true monster. The three of us couldn't even beat him. If you really want to know the martial depths of the Heavenly Elf, I say she is even more formidable than Yuan Shao and the Goddess of Excitement. However, the Heavenly Elf might not be able to destroy the Dark Mono Sword Formation alone."

Lele interjected, "They have the Dark Mono Sword Formation but we have the Heavenly Star Formation. This was a formation far more formidable than any known formation."

Yi Ping looked at Lele, asking enthusiastically. "Will the Goddess of Joy teach us the Heavenly Star Formation?"

Lele nodded, "The Heavenly Star Formation requires a minimum of five and a maximum of nine to complete."

Lele looked at Lingfeng, Yu’Er, Mei’Er, Ding Yun and Qiu Wufeng.

Qiu Wufeng was dumbfounded and looked at Yi Ping, "I'm going to be a hero this time?"

Yi Ping said hurriedly to Lele, "Fun Goddess. I'm fine now. Let me be in this Heavenly Star Formation …"

Before Yi Ping could even finish speaking, he was swept away and thrown by the weakly coughed Lele as he muttered. "You can't even take one weak blow from me right now. Forget it."

Qiu Wufeng was very serious as he said, "Give everything to me."

Gongsun Jing helped Yi Ping stand up as she said, "At the very least, we have a battle plan now." But he quietly groaned, "It's terrible. Three of our best fighters have just come out of battle due to infighting. Even the best formations could not push the strength of any fighter to exceed his potential. A formation is only good for maximizing the effectiveness of a fighter's attack…"

Nangong Le could only smile bitterly and enviously at Qiu Wufeng as he thought, "If I don't get hurt …"

While everyone was looking at the Goddess of Joy, Qiu Wufeng and Yi Ping, no one noticed that Reverend Liu Qingcheng had finished turning pale as he stumbled backwards while muttering to himself. "It's really happened .. it's happened all my life …"
