Hearing this, Jiang Yaoji's eyes turned cold. She knew that Yue Chen calling her at this moment must spell no good. As expected, he was here to stab her in the back.
He must have known her obsession with Feng Xingzhi, yet he deliberately called her over at this time!
Although greatly displeased, Jiang Yaoji dared not show it. She thought Yue Chen was just using her, but on the surface, she still pretended: "Your Majesty, we can make use of the former subordinates of Fengche Palace to force Ji Yunxi and the others to hand over the materials for making the God - Slaying Blade."
Yue Chen raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect this woman to have improved. She didn't rashly try to ruin the marriage.
Maybe she also knew that she was bound to get nothing on her own.
With a faint smile, he said, "The God - Slaying Blade is indeed very important, but do you think it's appropriate for them to get married right under my nose? Do they not take me seriously?"
Jiang Yaoji almost nodded, then quickly said, "Ji Yunxi has always been arrogant. She's just trying to provoke you!"
Yue Chen shook his head: "Then tell me, do Rong Hua and the others on Kunlun Mountain receive their wedding invitations?"
"Your subordinate has found out that all the immortals on Kunlun Mountain have received the news."
Yue Chen was satisfied and immediately said, "Then use these people to send them a wedding gift."
On Kunlun Mountain, the disciples were concentrating on their cultivation. Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi seemed to have suddenly disappeared from their world.
Rong Hua was naturally worried. Since Ji Yunxi hadn't sent back any news, he couldn't just ask around.
Just then, someone suddenly came to report. The expression on that person's face was not good. Seeing this, Bai Youmu also looked solemn.
"Reporting to the vice - master, someone from the upper realm has come. It seems there's something important to announce. They want everyone to gather on the open space in front of the main hall."
Bai Youmu and Ning Shuihan exchanged a look. Since the source of the Kunlun Divine Pulse was lost, after such a long time, they were finally going to be held accountable.
A woman was standing on the main hall, her eyes full of disdain for everyone on Kunlun Mountain.
Bai Youmu stepped forward and said, "I don't know what the order from the upper realm is. Why don't you come into the hall and talk?"
Yue Qiu gave him a cold look and snorted, "Enter the hall? That dirty place? I don't want to go in."
Everyone stiffened at her words. Even Xiao Yi felt embarrassed. Yue Qiu was just a person sent by Yuehua Palace. She wasn't anyone special, yet she was quite haughty.
Disciples were coming over one after another. Bai Youmu started to feel uneasy. What serious matter could it be that they had to call so many people over?
But he soon found out.
They heard Yue Qiu standing on a high place say, "Everyone, the source of the Kunlun Divine Pulse has been stolen. Your Kunlun Mountain is in big trouble!"
Everyone was shocked by this.
Rong Hua didn't expect Yue Qiu to come and make this public. Making it known to everyone would surely cause panic, but Yue Chen seemed not to care.
The teachers all had solemn expressions and said nothing.
Yue Qiu was very satisfied with the current situation. With a look of contempt, she watched the people below whispering to each other.
Rong Hua knew clearly that the source of the Kunlun Divine Pulse didn't mean much to ordinary people. Although the Kunlun Divine Pulse was maintained by the deeply - buried source, the spiritual energy on Kunlun Mountain had nothing to do with it. That was why no one except the teachers had noticed that the source was gone for a long time.
But now that this matter was exposed, it was obviously not that simple.
Yue Qiu's eyes fell on Bai Youmu, as if she was dissatisfied with him. But Yue Chen had told her not to conflict with them before she came, so Yue Qiu had to endure it.
Then she said, "The people who stole the source of the Kunlun Divine Pulse are Ji Yunxi and the traitor of Yuehua Palace, Yunluotian!"
Rong Hua's eyes turned cold. Before, Yue Chen had used Yunluotian as a hostage, but now she was a traitor?
It seemed that Yue Chen was quite confident in his ability to manipulate people. Rong Hua found it ridiculous.
After hearing this, the disciples immediately started to discuss. Such was human nature. Facing those stronger than themselves, some people would learn humbly and be motivated, while others would be jealous.
Those who had been jealous of Ji Yunxi wished to blame all the mistakes on her. As long as she suffered, they would be happy.
"No wonder I haven't been able to master my cultivation recently. It's all Ji Yunxi's fault!"
"She came to Kunlun Mountain with ill intentions! Maybe all her powerful performances were just an act!"
"Right. She even seduced Senior Brother Lu Chengming to show off her skills!"
One after another, they spoke, as if Ji Yunxi had become the most vicious person in the world.
Rong Hua found it laughable. They couldn't master their cultivation because of their mediocre talents, not for any other reason!
Bai Youmu's face also looked bad. Not because of Ji Yunxi, but because he was increasingly despairing about Kunlun Mountain.
He had devoted himself to cultivation and worked his way up to this position. In the past, Kunlun Mountain was a place for talented people to learn. But now, it was like a shelter for playboys.
Anyone with a bit of status could enter Kunlun Mountain at will.
These people had bad intentions. They didn't think about how to cultivate and attain the Dao, but about how to backstab others. It was really disgraceful.
"Stop talking!" Bai Youmu said coldly, looking at everyone. "Speaking ill of others is a barrier to one's cultivation."
As soon as he spoke, many disciples who had been making up stories quickly shut their mouths. They knew best whether those words were true or not.
Yue Qiu frowned and asked, "What does Vice - Master Bai mean?"
She thought Bai Youmu was going to openly protect Ji Yunxi. If so, it should be okay for her to cause trouble here, right?
She reversed her palm, and divine power gathered in her hand.
Suddenly, Rong Hua stepped forward and said, "Yue Qiu, this is Kunlun Mountain. Although it's not a place where immortals and gods live in the upper realm, His Majesty Yue Chen still shows us courtesy. Who do you think you are?"
A golden light flashed in Rong Hua's eyes. Yue Qiu felt a chill in her heart and suddenly realized that Rong Hua was different from others. No one knew his background, but his divine power was not weak.
Afraid that her temper would ruin Yue Chen's plan, Yue Qiu quickly calmed down and said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just here to deliver His Majesty's order."
Seeing that Rong Hua was not afraid of the people from the upper realm at all, the surrounding disciples gradually calmed down.
"The thing was taken by Ji Yunxi. You can't protect her." Yue Qiu's attitude softened a bit.
Rong Hua had no chance to refute this matter. When Yunluotian came, not only he but also Xiao Yi saw it. It was not a wise move for him to speak up at this moment.
So he fell silent and was pulled aside by Bai Youmu.
Bai Youmu turned around and said, "We didn't make this public before to avoid causing panic, but it doesn't mean we'll protect the culprit."
Yue Qiu nodded and said, "That's good."
