Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Jingtang thought for a moment and saw that Third Lady and Heroine Luo were fighting the professional assassins. The people from the Black Office had yet to arrive, so he lowered his spear and wiped his face. “The Wandering Body Palm was created by Eunuch Cao and ‘South Mountains Iron Trigram’ Zhang Henggu. Your accomplice knows the Wandering Body Palm, but he’s not Zhang Henggu’s disciple, so it can only be related to Eunuch Cao. Coincidentally, the Prince of Wu contacted the Pacifying Heaven Cult last year and talked about collaborating for a great cause. It’s not difficult for me to suspect the Prince of Wu.”
When Xu Bailin heard this, he understood what the problem was, but then he immediately asked in confusion, “How do you know that Eunuch Cao and Zhang Henggu created the Wandering Body Palm together? Also, how did you find out that the Prince of Wu secretly contacted the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master?”
Ye Jingtang stabbed the spear into the ground and sighed. “The soul of Yan is indestructible, aspiring to pacify heaven.”
?!
When Xu Bailin heard this, his eyes were full of shock. As a wanderer from the Heavenly South, he naturally knew this rebellious slogan. “You’re from the Pacifying Heaven Cult?!”
Ye Jingtang nodded. “1 am a protector of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. 1 came to the capital to be a spy. 1 need to accumulate merits and gain the trust of the Prince of Jing and the empress to prepare for the sect master to restore Great Yan.”
you/Hearing this news, Xu Bailin was dumbfounded.
But after he thought about it carefully, only this situation could explain why Ye Jingtang knew so many secrets that only the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master knew and why his martial arts skills were so ridiculous…
In the end, it was the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master behind the scenes…
Thinking of this, Xu Bailin collapsed!
Their hiding place had been reported by their borrowed knife?, and the borrowed knife used them as a knife.
They had been fighting openly and secretly for so many days, but in the end, the Imperial Court had not done anything. It was another wave of rebels chasing after them…
Wasn’t this making him die with grievances?!
After Xu Bailin figured out the whole story, he was furious. “Your Pacifying Heaven Cult are rebels, and so am 1. It’s fine if you don’t help after the Prince of Wu came to invite you, but you’re even helping the Imperial Court deal with us. Have your brains gone haywire like those two idiots?”
Ye Jingtang shook his head. “The Prince of Wu is surrounded by three military forces. He can’t do anything at all. The Pacifying Heaven Cult can’t place our hopes on you.”
“But you can’t kick us when we’re down! We’re all rebels! If we fight among ourselves, won’t the Imperial Court reap the benefits?!”
“It’s impossible for the Prince of Wu to succeed. 1 need merits to gain a foothold in the Imperial Court. You guys have made a great contribution. If 1 don’t hit you, who should I hit? I’ve already made it clear to you. In your next life—” “Wait!” When Xu Bailin realized that Ye Jingtang was the same kind of person, his desire to live arose. He whispered, “Trust me this once. We still have a few days before we complete our task. As long as we bring the deposed emperor to Wu Province, the Prince of Wu will be able to use this opportunity to raise troops. Regardless of whether the Prince of Wu can succeed or not, it will bring chaos to Great Wei, and it won’t do any harm to your Pacifying Heaven Cult’s grand plan to restore your country. By messing with us at this juncture to make merits, you’ll only be appreciated by the Prince of Jing. How can the benefits be greater than instigating chaos among the princes?”
Ye Jingtang shook his head. “The deposed emperor’s protection is very tight. It’s impossible for you to take him away. Isn’t it better for me to prevent trouble before it happens than to make up for it after it happens?”
Xu Bailin took a deep breath and wanted to tell Ye Jingtang how they were planning to get the deposed emperor out of the Marquis of Yun Ning Estate. But when the words reached his mouth, Xu Bailin felt that something was wrong. He looked at Ye Jingtang cautiously. “Give me two days. We will definitely be able to take the deposed emperor away.”
Ye Jingtang raised his spear and shook his head. “1 know you don’t believe me and won’t tell the truth. In order to prevent my identity from being exposed, 1 can’t let you leave alive without being sure that you can succeed.”
Xu Bailin gritted his teeth. Although he felt that Ye Jingtang’s relationship with the Pacifying Heaven Cult was real and wanted to tell him everything about the plan and rope him in, his rationality finally suppressed his desire to live. “The Prince of Wu saved my life back then. 1 don’t trust you…”
Plop!
The tip of the spear pierced through his throat.
Xu Bailin’s eyes widened. He grabbed the spearhead with his hands and stared fixedly at Ye Jingtang. His shoes scraped against the ground as he struggled.
Ye Jingtang’s eyes were calm. “1 am indeed a member of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. 1 have to silence you. However, you deserve to die. Remember to be a good person in your next life and don’t kill the innocent.”
Xu Bailin stared intently at Ye Jingtang. Before his consciousness faded, his eyes were still full of unwillingness.
After all, being beaten to death by the Imperial Court was what he deserved. But it was really impossible for him to rest in peace when his peer from the Pacifying Heaven Cult used him for credit…
