Chapter 44: With All This, You Still Think We Have No Grudge?:
Gu Shengyan was jealous of Su Xinyue, while the other disciples cast envious glances at her.
High above, the twelve elders of the Purple Moon Immortal Sect were equally shocked.
Mu Zihua stared intently at Ling Ye's back.
He was actually the current emperor?
No wonder Ji Ziruo treated him so specially. Everything made sense now, considering Ji Ziruo's admiration for the emperor.
Mu Zihua quickly collected himself, realizing deeply that he couldn't compare to this man in any way—identity, power, or even looks.
The previous talk of his disciple surpassing Ling Ye's disciple now seemed laughable.
Who could have a stronger disciple than the emperor?
At this moment, Mu Zihua had lost all motivation and desire to compete with Ling Ye. He even hoped never to have any contact with him in the future.
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Ling Ye looked calmly at Ling Youyun across from him and then smiled coldly. "Guest? So... you still consider yourself a guest?"
Ling Youyun's blood-red eyes met Ling Ye's as she responded, "I have no grudge against you. This time, I only entered the Great Imperial Empire to retrieve my mount. Isn't a guest entitled to courtesy?"
Ling Ye laughed again. "No grudge? Your demon army wreaks havoc outside, plotting against the Great Imperial Empire. Besides retrieving your mount, you aim to destroy the Purple Moon Immortal Sect, a key talent base for the Empire. You also tried to kill the sect master, who is now my concubine! With all this, you still think we have no grudges?"
Ling Ye's gaze fixed on Ling Youyun.
These reasons alone were enough for him to annihilate the entire demon clan.
Hearing Ling Ye's words, Ji Ziruo's face flushed slightly.
His Majesty openly declared her as his concubine in front of everyone.
It was meant to be revealed, but doing so now was a bit embarrassing, especially with all the Purple Moon Immortal Sect's inner members present.
Not far away, Mu Zihua glanced at Ji Ziruo.
As he suspected, he never had a chance. Or rather, he never had a chance from the beginning.
The disciples below felt similarly dejected.
Their beloved sect master was already the emperor's concubine?
The thought of their sect master being intimately involved with the emperor was heartbreaking.
Competing with the emperor for a woman was out of the question.
Among the many disciples, Gu Shengyan stared at Ji Ziruo and Ling Ye.
Concubine?
Damn it, not only wasn't he hers, but he also had another woman already.
Did she still have a chance in the future?
Damn Su Xinyue!
At this moment, Gu Shengyan's jealousy turned toward Su Xinyue.
If it weren't for her, would Ling Ye have chosen her at the disciple ceremony?
She believed he would have.
In the sky, Ling Youyun frowned even more after hearing Ling Ye's words.
Everything he said was true.
She had long been plotting against the Great Imperial Empire but had not acted due to insufficient strength. This time, she also intended to destroy the Purple Moon Immortal Sect and indeed planned to kill Ji Ziruo. Ling Ye saw through it all.
Ling Youyun chuckled. "Heh! It seems I underestimated you."
She didn't expect Ling Ye to discern her intentions against the Great Imperial Empire. Since he already knew, there was no point in pretending.
Ling Youyun continued with a cold smile. "Even so, what can you do today? I do want to destroy the Purple Moon Immortal Sect and take over your entire empire. Since you're here, it saves me a lot of trouble."
What if Ling Ye knew everything?
Could he, leading Ji Ziruo and the Purple Moon Immortal Sect, be her match?
She admitted she couldn't defeat Ling Ye one-on-one, but she had seven experts on her side.
What could Ling Ye do against them?
On the contrary, he was in danger.
Her powerful experts could hold off the Purple Moon Immortal Sect's members while the seven demon lords surrounded Ling Ye.
He wouldn't stand a chance. Killing Ling Ye would give her control over the Great Imperial Empire!
