Chapter 1635 - 695: Confrontation

Chapter 1635: Chapter 695: Confrontation

This slap was loud and crisp, leaving Tang Tianqi completely stunned.

Her cheek swelled up and she started crying.

"Second brother, why did you hit me!"

Tang Tianqi couldn’t believe that the one who hit her was her second brother, who always doted on her.

First, she was hit by Ye Lingyue in Qiyu City, then by Bo Qing, and now even her second brother was hitting her. Tang Tianqi had been beaten more times this month than in her entire life.

She felt as if the sky was falling.

"Tianqi, shut up. Do you know who he is? He’s Di Shen from the Wuling Team."

Tang Lei’s hand was still numb as he almost got scared to death by Tang Tianqi.

She actually scolded Di Shen as a pretty boy!

Getting slapped by him was letting her off lightly. If Di Shen decided to act, it wouldn’t be surprising for him to kill Tang Tianqi.

Who is Di Shen? He slaughters demon beasts like cutting wood, and even brought the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s liaisons to heel, let alone someone like Tang Tianqi.

"Wuling Team, so what? What’s so great about being called Di Shen..."

Tang Tianqi cried and yelled, suddenly remembered something, and went silent.

Di Shen, was the man of Ugly Monster named Di Shen? Di Shen from the Wuling Team?

Recently on the Jiu Provinces Heaven List, the fastest rising team was the Wuling Team, jumping from the mid-ranking of the Heavenly Ranking to tenth place, surpassing even the Tang Family’s top team by several places.

The reason for Wuling City’s rapid rise was because of a man named Di Shen in their team.

Allegedly, he’s a demon hunting fanatic, and wherever he goes, no demon beast remains intact, leaving other teams no chance to pick up the scraps.

Di Shen’s prowess wasn’t limited to the Demon Hunters. It’s rumored that he previously went alone into the Tongtian Tribe, leaving it in chaos and disorder.

Just hearing Di Shen’s name causes the Demon Clan to retreat miles away.

Such a formidable individual, Tang Tianqi had heard of him before.

But she always imagined the demon hunting fanatic Di Shen to be big, rough, and terrifying, never associating him with the man before her.

Even less did she expect such a powerful person to be Ugly Monster’s man.

Only now did Tang Tianqi understand her second brother’s intentions, frightened into silence, hiding behind Tang Lei like she feared Di Shen might tear her apart.

Tang Lei also laughed awkwardly and bowed to Di Shen.

"Di Shen, my younger sister is young; if there’s any offense, I ask for your forgiveness. But business is business, and my sister has already informed the Jiu Provinces Alliance Leader about escorting the Senluo Ghost Fruit King. The Jiu Provinces Alliance Leader has already ordered that as soon as the Huangquan Team arrives at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, they are to go to the main account for questioning. I’m just acting on orders, and I trust you wouldn’t defy the Alliance Leader’s command."

With that, Tang Lei sneered at Ye Lingyue.

He had gotten to know all the scandals about the Netherworld Team Captain from Tang Tianqi.

He thought she was some incredible woman, but seeing her now, she was just like this.

Her appearance was unremarkable; not only did she pale in comparison to the Tang Family’s top beauty Tang Lingbo, but she was also inferior to Tang Tianqi.

Tang Tiansong actually sided with such a person. Tang Lei secretly despised it.

Regarding the Jiu Provinces Alliance Leader’s summons, Tang Lei was telling the truth.

However, without Di Shen present, before leading them in, he would have surely severely dealt with the members of the Huangquan Team.

"Di Shen, since it’s the Jiu Provinces Alliance Leader’s order, we should make a trip to the main account. But I alone can go, as everyone is weary from the journey and I would appreciate you helping to settle them in."

Ye Lingyue gently tugged on Di Shen’s hand.

She knew Di Shen’s temperament well, unable to tolerate her suffering any grievances or hearing criticisms about her.

As they’d be meeting the Jiu Provinces Alliance Leader soon, the overall leader of the Jiu Provinces Alliance, Ye Lingyue had heard of him being named Ning Que, but that was the extent of her knowledge.

She did not want Di Shen to go head-to-head with the Jiu Provinces Alliance for her sake.

Though Di Shen was reluctant, feeling Ye Lingyue’s smooth and soft little hand, his heart softened and he had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Then the group separated, Tang Lei did not harass Ye Lingyue, and together with the still-angry Tang Tianqi, went towards the main account.

The Jiu Provinces Alliance’s main account was also the meeting venue for the Jiu Provinces Alliance.

Its exterior looked no different from an ordinary camp, but the camp was branded with the large characters "Jiu Provinces."

Near the camp, an Array was set up, and the defenses were very tight.

Upon arriving outside the main account, Tang Lei stopped respectfully.

"Alliance Leader Ning, subordinate Tang Lei, along with my sister Tang Tianqi, are here with the Netherworld Team Captain for questioning."

Inside the camp, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard.

"Come in."

Only then did Tang Lei lead Ye Lingyue and Tang Tianqi inside.

Ye Lingyue knew that today’s questioning was crucial, so she made a slight calculation in her heart and entered the camp with a humble attitude.

As soon as she entered, she noticed several probing gazes.

Even while bowing, she could sense the hostility of one of them.

"You are Captain Ye of the Netherworld Team?"

From the left side, a voice with ill intent spoke.

Ye Lingyue looked up and saw a man in his sixties, with long beard hanging to his waist, looking at her with cold eyes.

He was surrounded by a considerable spiritual power, dressed in the blue Alchemist Robe.

Ye Lingyue immediately thought of someone, the first Fang Venerate in the Jiu Provinces Alliance, Nian Wu Venerable, also the short-lived ghost Nian Xiaoxie’s master.

Though she had planned for this, Ye Lingyue hadn’t expected to meet Nian Wu himself upon arriving at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

Besides Nian Wu, in the camp stood not only the Tang siblings but also several men and women, including Xi Jiuye, a youth and a pair of young lovers.

Ye Lingyue didn’t recognize the couple, but assumed that anyone standing in the main account must have a significant status.

The youth was remarkably handsome, staring at Ye Lingyue with a friendly gaze.

While Ye Lingyue surveyed the surroundings, Nian Wu also scrutinized Ye Lingyue.

It was this woman before him who killed Little Xie, cutting off his family’s bloodline.

Nian Wu’s eyes nearly spewed fire.

He immediately bowed and addressed the man seated in the main commander’s seat.

"Alliance Leader, this woman harbors evil intentions. Earlier in Wanxiang City, she plotted and killed my disciple Little Xie. Now, because of her, we have lost the Senluo Ghost Fruit King. Should the Demon King Tongtian obtain the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, the consequences will be unimaginable. She bears multiple offenses and, according to the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s laws, she should be severely punished along with the entire Huangquan Team."

Ye Lingyue listened, frowning, but didn’t immediately defend herself.

"Captain Ye, do you have anything to explain?"

At this point, the Jiu Provinces Alliance Leader Ning Que, seated in the main commander’s seat, spoke up.
