Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636: The Egg Is About to Hatch
The female disciples were shocked by Ye Lanfeng’s direct confession, and then there was a strange kind of envy.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan was touching the egg in her hand, looking at Ye Lanfeng with a very complicated expression. This guy, he must be doing it on purpose, right? Saying so naturally that he has feelings for her, is it really okay?
Fen Qianji’s face had turned so dark it was almost dripping water.
This bastard took all the spotlight and even scored high in Hanyan’s favor. Why wasn’t it him who encountered Chen Ziyu?
Chen Ziyu, feeling frustrated, didn’t appear.
Among the top eight, Fuhua Peak had claimed five positions, more than half. In the end, Fen Qianji met Mu Hanyan and straightforwardly jumped off the ring and conceded, also announcing his own feelings.
"I joined the sect only to follow Sister Hanyan, how could I possibly lay a hand on Sister Hanyan?"
Fen Qianji’s confession made the female disciples glance sideways once again. This time it was Ye Lanfeng’s turn to gnash his teeth.
The final result of the contest was Mu Hanfeng in first place, as Ye Lanfeng conceded directly upon meeting him. Mu Hanyan was second, Ye Lanfeng third, Fen Qianji fourth, Xiang Baizhe fifth, and the rest were disciples from other peaks. Fuhua Peak made a great exhibition of itself once again.
"Oh my, really, apologies to all of you brothers, my disciples’ manners were rather unsightly. Accidentally, the top five all turned out to be from my Fuhua Peak." Mu Rui’an apologized insincerely, unable to hide the smugness in his eyes.
I really want to punch him!
The other Peak Masters and the Sect Leader thought simultaneously.
Sneaky little bastard, gaining advantages yet feigning innocence!
But it’s just a thought, they wouldn’t dare act because they couldn’t win a fight.
Next, it was time for the Sect Leader to present the rewards.
When it came to Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji, the Sect Leader glanced at them and slowly spoke, "Since you’ve joined our sect, why still wear masks? It’s better to show your true faces." After finishing, the Sect Leader removed their masks, revealing their real appearances. Naturally, astonished voices followed, along with a bunch of admirers.
Inwardly, the Sect Leader was stabbing a voodoo doll. This Ye Lanfeng actually made his son lose face so badly. Of course, he wouldn’t let him win the beauty so easily. See, there will surely be plenty of female disciples tangled around you in the future, haha. Actually, the Sect Leader knew well his own son had been spoiled by him, slightly raising him crooked. Always disrespectful to others, not exactly broad-minded, okay, this was his self-consolation statement, realistically he knew his son’s mind was narrow, vengeful. Now letting his son suffer minor setbacks at home was better than losing his life outside. Hopefully, his son could figure this out.
Even after the sect’s grand contest ended, the residual excitement didn’t annihilate. From top to bottom, the sect buzzed with the tales of Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji. Both came to their Canglan Sect for Sister Mu Hanyan, both extraordinarily talented, incredibly powerful. How did they know Sister Mu Hanyan? Suddenly, many were crafting fascinating stories in their minds.
Chen Ziyu stood under the corridor, listening to the debates echoing from the rockery, mostly discussing whether Mu Hanyan paired better with Ye Lanfeng or Fen Qianji. No one mentioned him anymore, nor did anyone speak of him and Mu Hanyan being a match made in heaven. Chen Ziyu clenched his fists tightly; now he fully understood the truth that Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji had hidden their strength, their skills soared beyond his. He couldn’t forget the tremendous shame Ye Lanfeng inflicted upon him that day, even more envious of Mu Hanyan’s differing attitudes towards Ye Lanfeng. This fire of anger and jealousy nearly burnt his soul to ashes.
He wasn’t reconciled, how could he be? He desperately wished to grow stronger, so much. Once he became powerful, Hanyan would look at him differently, right? Would return to his side, right?
There was a method for rapid enhancement! That was locating the Heaven and Earth Stone at the core of Canglan Sect, if refined, who on earth could outmatch him?
Regarding the effects on Canglan Sect losing its core Heaven and Earth Stone, Chen Ziyu hadn’t given it thought. Or maybe he had, but he didn’t wish to face it. His mind was consumed entirely by vengeance and winning Mu Hanyan.
While the entire Canglan Sect trembled, everyone realized something was awry.
The Sect Leader’s complexion turned ashen. Never did he conceive his son would commit such acts; once the Heaven and Earth Stone got stolen away, Canglan Sect’s Defensive Array would collapse—a disaster arises, leaving Canglan Sect defenseless.
Mu Hanyan and companions received the news promptly and were ordered to head to Canglan Sect’s core to apprehend Chen Ziyu.
At that moment, Chen Ziyu, eyes crimson, sat at the original spot of the Heaven and Earth Stone, refining it.
"Brother Chen, stop quickly, have you considered the Sect Leader’s feelings?" Mu Hanyan spoke solemnly, watching Chen Ziyu nearly enthralled.
Chen Ziyu merely lifted his eyelids to glance at Mu Hanyan, a flash of brilliance crossed his eyes, then he dropped his gaze again, continuing to refine the Heaven and Earth Stone.
"It’s useless," Ye Lanfeng remarked coldly, looking at Chen Ziyu indifferently. "He’s lost his mind now."
"Seize him!" Mu Hanfeng commanded, urging everyone to take action.
Chen Ziyu’s eyes were crimson, emitting low roaring sounds, his hands moving faster.
"Quickly stop him!" Mu Hanyan, observing Chen Ziyu’s Heaven and Earth Stone growing dimmer, sensed the situation was dire.
All at once, the crowd sprang into action, brilliance radiating forth, yet Chen Ziyu roared aloud right then, standing. The Heaven and Earth Stone was visibly about to darken entirely, while everyone clearly felt Chen Ziyu’s strength massively soaring. This would likely become a fierce battle.
Then, suddenly, the egg perched on Mu Hanyan’s chest leaped out, hurtling straight towards the Heaven and Earth Stone.
"Eggie!" Mu Hanyan cried in panic, reaching out to catch the Phoenix Egg.
"Is it about to hatch?" Ye Lanfeng exclaimed in astonishment. How could a Phoenix Egg be hatching now?
"But close," Fen Qianji remarked, also amazed.
Mu Hanyan didn’t manage to catch the Phoenix Egg, watching as it directly hit the Heaven and Earth Stone, the latter’s light instantly dimmed. At that moment, Chen Ziyu resembled a chicken with its neck pinched, frozen stiff, then toppled over straight.
"Is it backlash?" Mu Hanfeng stepped forward to examine Chen Ziyu’s state, a mocking smile emerged on his face; before any major actions took place, he’s already died prematurely? Even Mu Hanfeng felt suffocated for Chen Ziyu.
"Eggie," at this point, Mu Hanyan anxiously cradled the Phoenix Egg, examining it thoroughly, then screamed, "Cracks have formed, but it can’t come out!"
