She might be even a cultivator from one of the Four Evil Sects!
Ye Zhen thought that it might also be the reason why she would always wear a fox mask and hooded cloak to cover herself.
Well, Ye Zhen’s guess was actually half right.
Tan Li Xue was not the cultivator of the righteous path, but she was also not from any Four Evil Sects.
Err… She was not even a human in the first place…
Ye Zhen did not hate or resent Tang Li Xue at all because of it.
On the contrary, Ye Zhen thought Tang Li Xue might know that he and the other disciples were about to be killed because Tang Li Xue was a member of one of the Four Evil Sects.
Ye Zhen made up the drama in his mind and deepened his misunderstanding of Tang Li Xue…
He started to think Tang Li Xue might didn’t really want to join the evil sect, but she did not have any other choice.
Ye Zhen was afraid that what Tang Li Xue had done to help them would be detrimental to Tang Li Xue herself and bring her some hidden danger later on instead, so he started to think deeply…
No one should know about Tang Li Xue being involved in this incident since Tang Li Xue covered herself with a fox mask and hooded clothes.
Ye Zhen sighed in relief… But he quickly became tense again…
NO!
Ye Zhen remembered that there was one more person who knew Miss Xiao Xue’s name…
Ye Zhen glanced at the sleeping Beiming Chu.
Ye Zhen hit his own head as he remembered that he mentioned Xiao Xue’s name in front of Beiming Chu yesterday!
“I am really so stupid!” Ye Zhen uttered with a frustrated tone.
“NO! It is not too late yet! I can still fix this error!” Ye Zhen spoke with a freezing cold tone.
Ye Zhen hastily ran out from the abandoned temple and found a sharp branch nearby, then he quickly went back to the abandoned temple.
Ye Zhen carefully approached Beiming Chu, and then…
PUUUUUUFFFFF~!!!
The sharp branch in Ye Zhen’s hand stabbed deeply into Beiming Chu’s throat!
Beiming Chu opened his eyes wide and stared at Ye Zhen in disbelief…
In the last moment of his life, Beiming Chu did not even know why Ye Zhen killed him.
After Beiming Chu breathed his last, Ye Zhen released the sharp branch and sat on the floor in disbelief.
Then he stared at his bloodstained hands in doubt.
“what have I done?! Why am I doing this?! How could I kill Brother Beiming with my own hands?!” Ye Zhen shouted in guilt.
It took a while for Ye Zhen to gradually calmed down and said: “No, I must do this! For Miss Xiao Xue’s safety… even killing hundreds, thousands, or millions of Brother Beiming, I am willing to do it!”
At first, he still felt afraid, hesitant, and guilty…
Then Ye Zhen closed his eyes and took out Tang Li Xue’s white cloth with his bloodstained hands and held it close to him.
When the sweet floral scent from the white cloth entered his nostril, every fear, hesitation, guilt, despair, and misery seemed to fade away.
It was as if he gained a new life…
“Yes, I have already gained a new life… A new life given by Xiao Xue…” Ye Zhen muttered in intoxication.
The moment Ye Zhen opened his eyes again, his gaze was completely changed.
It became much more cold and determined.
When he lost his cultivation before, most parts of his heart died along with it.
But right now, there was new life meaning, new ambition, and… new obsession born in the deepest part of his heart.
He wanted to become a dragon!
He did not care if it would be an evil dragon, a black dragon, or a demon dragon, but at least, it should be good enough to be matched with the phoenix flying in the nine heavens!
“From now on, Beiming Chu and Ye Zhen are already dead. Henceforth, my name is… Death Lord!” Ye Zhen said to himself.
There was no merit even if he went back to the sect.
On the contrary, the sect might interrogate or even read his mind using some treasure and then kick him out of the sect since he was nothing more than a crippled person now.
Becoming a loose cultivator was the only choice for him.
…..
…
.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue did not know what had happened in the abandoned temple after she left there.
When Tang Li Xue departed from the abandoned temple, the skies were still dark.
The weather was still cloudy and drizzling, so no stars could be seen.
But after flying for a few hours, the black cloud finally dispersed, and the morning sun was blooming.
Tang Li Xue yawned as she enjoyed the scenery of the beautiful morning sunrise.
