Yu Peiyuan couldn’t believe her eyes.
A handsome young man with fair skin, dressed in black, had subdued Wei Chaoran with just one hand.
She couldn’t believe her eyes: "Jiang... Junior Brother Jiang?"
It was no wonder she doubted, for even Wei Chaoran beside her had his expression frozen.
Jiang Fan appearing in Taicang State? On the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road? At the 9,500th layer?
Who could believe it?
Soon, Wei Chaoran reacted, attempting to snatch back the ring, and shouted in a low voice, "This is none of your business!"
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Fan glanced at him lightly, and with a casual wave of his hand, unleashed an overwhelming force that Wei Chaoran couldn’t resist, throwing him away.
Wei Chaoran hurriedly stabilized his figure, stumbling as he landed, looking down at his wrist, where a clear five-fingered red mark had been pinched.
He looked at Jiang Fan with some suspicion: "You... what is your cultivation?"
He was, after all, at the Nascent Soul Realm, and that throw just now left him with no power to resist.
Jiang Fan gazed at him deeply.
Wei Chaoran and the two disciples from Sanqing Mountain exchanged glances, which he noticed.
Combining this with the blue seed in Yu Peiyuan’s hand, he understood seven or eight-tenths of the situation.
He said coldly: "How many people in your life will take a knife for you?"
"Such a person, and you actually conspire with outsiders to harm her!"
He stepped in front of Yu Peiyuan and said, "Stay away from Wei Chaoran in the future, he doesn’t deserve your brother-sister bond."
Yu Peiyuan still didn’t understand what was happening.
Until the one-armed disciple from Sanqing Mountain coldly questioned, "Wei Chaoran, you didn’t say there was another helper!"
To get here, one must have fought their way up from the 9,500th step.
How could any of them be simple?
With a sudden outsider appearing, they naturally had to reconsider their cooperation with Wei Chaoran.
At this moment, Yu Peiyuan woke up as if from a dream, incredulous: "Brother Wei, you... collaborated with them to deceive me?"
She found it strange why, when leading the two into the lair of the blood-colored giant beast, they suddenly woke up at the last moment.
It turned out to be Wei Chaoran who warned them.
Wei Chaoran wanted the blue seed in her hand, and the two from Sanqing Mountain wanted her ability to sense fortune and misfortune.
So they joined forces.
Ridiculous that she was sold out by Wei Chaoran, yet blocked a deadly blow for him and even gave him the blue seed as a gift.
"Wei Chaoran!" The huge sense of betrayal made Yu Peiyuan both sad and angry.
She glared at Wei Chaoran with tears in her eyes!
Now that he was exposed, Wei Chaoran didn’t pretend anymore and went to the side of the two disciples from Sanqing Mountain.
He said coldly, "Blame yourself!"
"Master initially valued me the most, and that opportunity for tribulation transcendence should have been left for me!"
"But you overshadowed this brat and got the blue seed, so Master began considering giving it to you!"
"You took my opportunity, and I didn’t kill you by my own hand, that’s already considering our brother-sister bond!"
Yu Peiyuan bit her red lips tightly, heartache rendering her speechless.
Jiang Fan observed him coldly and said, "Wei Chaoran, don’t you feel ashamed saying this?"
"Qi Yin Master initially designated you to accompany me to the Divinity Transformation Relics, but you were afraid of losing out and had your Junior Sister go."
"Being too selfish, you let the opportunity fall into your Junior Sister’s hands."
"Can you blame others for that?"
Wei Chaoran snorted coldly: "Mind your own business!"
"Senior Brothers, this person is merely a disciple of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Though his strength is considerable, it’s not beyond our capability. The three of us together, it won’t be hard to handle him!"
"Then, I’ll leave my Junior Sister to your disposal, just please make sure there’s no trace left for me."
In other words, after using Yu Peiyuan, remember to eliminate her!
Originally, he hadn’t planned to do this.
As long as he got the blue seed, that was enough.
But now Jiang Fan had exposed him,
If Yu Peiyuan went back to complain, could he avoid punishment?
It’s common for disciples to fight among themselves, but colluding with outsiders to harm fellow disciples is intolerable by any master.
