Ji Yuan turned to look at Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping with an ugly look even as he asked Little Princess at the same time, "You practice the Dual Cultivation Art?"
He had hated the Evil Cultivation Palace for a long time especially when he was kidnapped by Little Princess in the past and he was forced to 'dual cultivate' with her. To make matter worse, that was his very first time as well.
He, a renowned sword saint, was captured by the Evil Cultivation Palace in his drunkenness after losing his first sweetheart to Jin Yilong. This was a taint that could never be removed until he had destroyed the Evil Cultivation Palace completely.
For hundreds of years, he had actually viewed Little Princess as his one and only enemy for torturing him both mentally and physically.
Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping faked her anger as she said angrily, "How dare you pour this fake accusation on me! You have entered our personal abode at night and have cooked up this story about me. I must say that you are an unorthodox cultivator like that Maiden Ling Feiyue. It's no wonder why you are in her company."
Then she pointed at Little Princess, "The two of you must be in this together. Now tell me! How did the two of you got together? I don't know anything about this dual cultivation art at all!"
Ji Yuan did not reply her immediately for he was slightly distracted; a tearful Yang Mi was trying to hastily grab her celestial robe around her and he was looking at her exposed perked mounds…
He was gulping suddenly because he had never taken any real notice of her; he was suddenly finding her figure to be extremely enticing and this was really extremely hard to forget. He was also having flashbacks of her smiling countenances and that when she was with him, she was always smiling brightly and had a flustered look.
He quickly casted her thoughts away for she was really too sinful, especially when she was just wearing her transparent panties and was exposing herself half-naked in front of him.
Too sinful!
"And why are you here in the first place?! Are you spying on my Yang Mi?" Grand Matriarch XI Jingping was suddenly accusing Ji Yuan with a cold shout.
Her shouts had fully brought Ji Yuan's thoughts back and he was soon grinning as he pointed at Hua Yingxiong, "Then can you explain about him?"
Grand Matriarch XI Jingping answered coldly, "I don't know him at all."
Hua Yingxiong was stunned, "Grand Matriarch Xi, we are in this together? How can you say you don't know me at all? With your cultivation strength and mine combined, why must we be afraid of this Ji Yuan?"
Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping looked at him in horror, "What are you talking about? You are just like Ji Yuan! Why are you in this place and what are you doing here?!"
Her reply shocked Hua Yingxiong who was stammering, "What do… you mean … we are… in this together…"
Of course Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping was refusing to know Hua Yingxiong now. While he was useful as her living furnace but Yang Mi value as a living furnace was even higher. She could not afford to have her protégé Yang Mi to turn against her at this very moment.
Therefore, even if it pained her heart to do so, she was forced to sacrifice Hua Yingxiong. It was a lucky thing that she had never told him that he was her living furnace and his reactions were all too real.
Yang Mi had turned to Hua Yingxiong as she cried out, "Hua Yingxiong, you are a most despicable saint!"
But for Ji Yuan whom Grand Matriarch Xi had suggested that he was an equally lecherous saint cultivator, she did not point at him.
In her mind, she believed that Ji Yuan had just happened to show up.
Hua Yingxiong was visible upset that Yang Mi did not rebuke Ji Yuan and that he felt like he was the only victim around here.
Therefore he started to raise his heaven-step divine sword from his spatial storage in a bid to attack Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan was actually about to teach Hua Yingxiong a lesson as he was already seeing green now so he had raised his saint-step divine sword in retaliation.
The very reason he was seeing green now was no thanks to Xiang Li who was shouting in his soul sea: Big Brother, he is seeing Yang Mi without any clothes and imagining all kinds of beastly acts upon her!
A burst of profound energies resonated loudly when the divine swords of Hua Yingxiong and Ji Yuan began to clash together.
Hua Yingxiong was surprised that he did not stumble back and he was holding his ground; it was because Ji Yuan was a great saint while he was just a saint. Moreover his divine sword was several leagues more powerful than his profound strength could withstand.
He naturally did not know that Ji Yuan's profound strength had been greatly depleted by Dream Mist earlier and that Ji Yuan was only sustaining his profound strength with profound pills.
'
Hua Yingxiong was secretly smiling in his heart: I can fight with him on an equal footing? This must be due to my huge talent and also because of my copulation with a great saintess.
'New novel chapters are published on Novel-Bin',
This thought had immediately lent him strength and he was now furiously attacking Ji Yuan with all his profound power!
But barely had he displayed a tornado of attacks upon Ji Yuan to cut him down, Ji Yuan had coolly slashed him on his right shoulder.
This was quickly followed by his left chest.
And before Hua Yingxiong was aware of what was happening, Ji Yuan's saintly divine sword had slashed repeatedly upon him to send him onto flying thunderously to the ground.
Hua Yingxiong had suddenly found himself to be much mistaken. In terms of swordplay, Ji Yuan was completely above him.
As for his puny profound defense, Ji Yuan's saintly divine sword could cut him down like a piece of paper. He had suddenly regretted why he did not spend more time to train himself as a Defense Cultivator; he had completely slacked away his talents and the cultivation resources that were given to him.
But Ji Yuan was not about to stop there as he continued to slash at Hua Yingxiong relentlessly!
Hua Yingxiong's golden body was punctured; he was coughing golden blood and holes had appeared in his body!
He managed to mutter a cry, "Is this… what a sword saint… will… behave… once an opponent… is fallen?!..."
But Ji Yuan completely ignored him as he swung his sword upward before he pierced his sword into Hua Yingxiong's chest to nail him onto the ground, stopping short of the heart.
Hua Yingxiong coughed another bout of golden blood when he was nailed onto the ground as he cursed, "Ji Yuan, you…"
But Ji Yuan said to him, "You can't even take ten strokes from me even though my swordplay isn't in the top 100 in my Desolate Celestial Fraternity. Aren't you a disgrace?"
Then he turned to ask Yang Mi, "Maiden Yang Mi, what do you want me to do with him?"
Yang Mi was still tearful and she was quite startled that Ji Yuan was suddenly talking to her. She stammered with her sobs, "I think… he has been punished enough. This will take him some time to recover his golden body. As long as he does not tell anyone about… this incident today… we can spare his life."
Ji Yuan nodded and Hua Yingxiong was instantly relieved.
Hua Yingxiong was also thinking: At most I can only be considered as peeping on her. There is no need to punish me this severely. Moreover I am also the mighty prince of the Golden Majesty Celestial Empire…
All of a sudden he was staring blankly because Ji Yuan had suddenly taken out his pierced sword and he had pierced it into his heart!
Ji Yuan grinned, "Ops, my hands slipped."
He added nonchalantly, "You and me, we're different."
The reason why he had said that was because he had once peeped at Xue Qianxue and had survived the encounter but he did not have any ill-intention on her.
However, regarding the incident today, he had seen what Hua Yingxiong was trying to do and he could even see the hidden profound energies that were on Grand Matriarch Xi's fingers. It was obvious to him that they were trying to harm Yang Mi.
With that he had killed Hua Yingxiong.
Yang Mi gasped with shock…
Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping had suddenly raised her voice to shout at Ji Yuan, "Great Saint Ji Yuan! Why did you kill your accomplice? Do you believe that by doing so, you can free yourself from this incident?"
Then she was pointing at Little Princess, "And you have one more accomplice here too as well!"
She turned to look at Yang Mi, "You are still too young and simple. You did not know that this Ji Yuan is actually the beast of a man."
Yang Mi shook her head tearfully, "But he has just exposed Hua Yingxiong and 'her'. They can't be accomplices."
'Her' referred to Little Princess.
Grand Matriarch Xi Jingping pretended to shake her head sorrowfully, "My dear Yang Mi, this is all a ploy to trick you into thinking that he is a good man. By sacrificing Hua Yingxiong, he will be winning over your trust. Why do you think all these maidens are all sticking with him? Why do you think even my Jingjing is so hopelessly in love with him?"
Yang Mi began to stare at Ji Yuan and her tears were shimmering down on her cheeks, "Please tell me that this isn't the truth?"
Ji Yuan was clearly upset as he said angrily, "Of course this isn't true!"
Instead of being a good guy, he was now bitten by this Grand Matriarch Xi.
Now that Hua Yingxiong was dead, he could not argue with this Grand Matriarch Xi anymore because he knew that the bonds between master and protégé were deep. Nothing he said could rock their relationship unless he had some evidences.
And evidences were something that he did not have!
