Chapter 80: Heaven Shaking Sword

The storm went away as fast as it came.

People began to disperse in succession, returning to their respective campsite on the summit of the mountain, and Eagle Beak Cliff which was as high as piercing into the clouds quickly calmed down. But, even though it was seemingly calm on the surface, great waves were secretly rising from all directions.

Who laid out this trap?

Who wanted to seize the opportunity to kill Ye Chuan, this Big Disciple of Cloud Mist Sect?

The heart of everyone was doubtful, and each disciple of three sects had their own views.

Some time ago, Black Cauldron Sect’s Sect Master Tuoba Xiong had personally gone to Cloud Mist Sect, and passing off Big Bird as his daughter Tuoba Xiaoniao, he wanted to humiliate Ye Chuan and Cloud Mist Sect, but he wasn’t able to humiliate them, instead he himself was humiliated, this matter had already spread all over Cloud Mist Mountain Range long ago. And after the storm of Mangrove forest, people quickly associated this matter with Tuoba Xiong. With the power of Black Cauldron Sect and their unscrupulous style, laying out this trap to kill somebody with a borrowed knife was very likely. This way, they can eliminate Ye Chuan to get revenge, and also can frame Five Style Sect, making Cloud Mist Sect and Five Style Sect fight to the death, killing two birds with one stone!

In addition to this gossip, there was another rumor that everything was the plan of Five Style Sect’s Big Disciple Gushan Leng. Seeing Ye Chuan and Liu Hong flirting, he burned with jealousy, and thought to seize the opportunity to kill Ye Chuan, self-edited and self-acted. Unfortunately, at the final juncture, Liu Hong sobered up with the help of Ye Chuan, failing to build a mound for want of one final basket of an earth.

All kinds of rumor rapidly spread among the disciples of three sects, and the relation between three great sects became even more subtle.

Ye Chuan returned to the campsite and slept. He was noncommittal to all kinds of rumor, and also didn’t speak out his doubts to Zhu Sijia and others. Facing fatty and Zhu Sijia’s detailed inquiry, he only said one word, wait.

The rumors suddenly rose from all direction, and as if burning raging flame, the rumors were getting worse and worse, obviously, someone was seizing the opportunity to fan the flames. If only the Great Competition came over, everything would have naturally vanished like smoke and dispersed like clouds. As for Yi Suo and Jin Zhikun, surely they were now quite willing to continue doing evil, as not long ago, they had completely failed.

In the latter half of the night, all kinds of rumors slowly disappeared.

Next day, Great Competition continued as scheduled, and three great sects focused on life and death arena once again.

Early in the morning, Ye Chuan led everybody and came to life and death arena as if nothing had happened, and calmly waited for the arrival of the competition. And to the surprise of everyone, Yi Suo was also following behind them. No one knew when he returned to the campsite, but now he was standing behind everyone with honest appearance, merely he had medicinal herbs smeared on his neck, and he didn’t utter a single word.

“Junior apprentice-brother Yi Suo, where did you go last night? There are turmoil and chaos of war, don’t walk around wildly everywhere, be careful.” Ye Chuan stepped forward and asked with a look of concern.

“Thank you for your concern, senior apprentice-brother, I went to pick a medicinal herb to treat my throat.”

Yi Suo replied, although his voice was still rather sharp, but already was a lot better, no longer was an amusing sweet female voice.

“How are you feeling now?”

“A lot better.”

One asking and the other answering, Ye Chuan was smiling with concerned appearance, and Yi Suo answered in earnest without a shred of previous high spirit.

After the storm of Mangrove forest, Yi Suo was not quite willing, and in accordance with his temper, he wanted to directly kill Ye Chuan without enduring his temper at all. But under the pressure of Alchemy Hall Master Jin Zhikun, he was forced to endure again, and pretending to know nothing, he had to continue staying beside Ye Chuan, looking for a chance.

Endure, continue to endure!

This is the only way to kill Ye Chuan and pull him down from the throne of sect’s Big Disciple!

Yi Suo endured humiliation in order to carry out an important mission.

Yi Suo didn’t shed all pretense of cordiality, wanting to keep pretending, so Ye Chuan naturally accompanied him.

Pretend, continue to pretend, let’s see what trick you have next!

Ye Chuan sized up Yi Suo with a smile, then turned away.
