The night was still as the bright moon flickered behind the flowing clouds.
Above a mountain peak shaped like a ghost face, a dark mountain rock slowly floated under the impetus of spiritual energy.
On the rock stood a nearly thirty-story six-sided pagoda. It was the "Nine Ghosts City" of the Ghost Spirit Sect's leader.
At this moment, there was singing and dancing in the pagoda, and the Elders of the Ghost Spirit Sect were sitting at the banquet table, toasting their glasses and chatting.
Gu Mingxin, wearing a purple sect uniform, sat in a corner seat. Since the banquet started, she had been drinking alone.
Apart from the fact that she did not like such crowded and lively scenes, another reason was that ever since she entered the banquet hall with Fu Yuanhua and He Jiming, many Ghost Spirit Sect disciples attending the banquet had been secretly discussing her.
"Is that the personal disciple of the Patriarch Gu? Shall we go up and propose a toast?"
"Forget it, haven't you heard about what happened the other day? It was said that she might be fornicating with an immortal cultivator. It seems that previously, in the Northern Region, because she exposed the whereabouts of many of her fellow disciples from the six demonic sects, they ended up being killed by the Cold Country for the most part..."
...
Although Gu Mingxin didn't care much about what others said about her, it was still uncomfortable hearing these words.
She was the only one who came back to the Heavenly Demon Sect, and she was the only one who knew about the situation at that time. She explained to the others that a person named Ye Anping had framed her, but so what?
Who would believe her?
A mere Core Formation stage Young Master relied on scheming to deliver nearly a thousand demonic cultivators into the Snow Guards' hands?!DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m
Gu Mingxin still couldn't figure out how Ye Anping knew in advance about the demonic cultivators' plan to invade the Northern Region.
The only possible explanation was that someone tipped him off, but who?
"..."
As the wine went down her throat, she gradually became drunk.
Gu Mingxin raised her wine glass bitterly, thinking that she would drink more and then leave the scene with the excuse of being drunk before going back to rest and gather her energy.
However, just as she raised her glass again and was about to drink, Fu Yuanhua, who was at the table beside her, grabbed her wrist and pushed the glass back onto the table.
"Miss Gu, drink less. Ghost Patriarch has looked at you several times, why don't you take the initiative to toast him?"
"Elder Fu, they say that I'm having an affair with an immortal cultivator... If I'm going to propose a toast, aren't I asking for trouble?"
"So, the peace talks failed?"
"Not only." Fu Yuanhua shook her head slightly. "If the peace talks only failed, the Demon King wouldn't have killed Xu Chi directly. Xu Chi is an Elder of the Ghost Spirit Sect with a stable temperament. He should know not to anger the Demon King. There may be a third party involved in this matter..."
A third party causing trouble?
Gu Mingxin paused drinking after hearing Elder Fu's conclusion.
She didn't know why, but the handsome young man with deep purple eyes immediately appeared in her mind.
"Is it him?"
Gu Mingxin unconsciously muttered, causing Fu Yuanhua to turn around and ask, "Miss Gu, who are you referring to?"
He Jiming let out a barking laugh. "Oh~~ The person Sister Gu is thinking of, could it be that... Ye Pingan?"
"Yes, that's what I think..." Gu Mingxin glared back. "And, his name is Ye Anping, not Ye Pingan."
"Oh~~ Ye Anping." He Jiming shrugged and spread his hands. "I don't know whether this Ye Anping was fabricated or is really someone as powerful as you said. A Core Formation stage cultivator who could actually influence the peace talks between the Ghost Spirit Sect Elder, a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the Demon King, heh."
"Heh..." Gu Mingxin sneered. When you see him, you may not even know how you died.
Then again, perhaps it was because most people basically lost their lives by the time they realized his power, and that's why, to this day, he was still unknown among demonic cultivators.
Otherwise, how come no one in the demonic sects had heard of such a person from the Immortal Family...
As she thought about it, Gu Mingxin began to feel some anticipation.
If Ye Anping went to the Eastern Great Wall, would they meet again?
Previously in the Northern Region, she and Ye Anping had not yet decided who was the winner, as they were disrupted by the sudden appearance of Jiang Mojiao.
Gu Mingxin seemed to have returned to that snowy day when she was fighting with Yu Die and Ye Anping.
He was really cool~~
If I see him again...
I must catch him!
Absolutely...
