# Chapter 806: Blood-Stained Jasmine 2
"You..."
If it were Feng Zu Kui standing in front of Yun Che, Xuanyuan Guyun would have already been furious and cursing loudly. But standing before him was merely a young girl. Shocked, he couldn't even speak for a moment.
Just from the flame earlier, it was enough for him to confirm that she absolutely possessed strength matching his own! And he was the highly ranked Second Elder of the Tian Wei Sword Domain, while she was nothing more than a young maiden!
This white-clad girl was naturally Feng Xue'er. With Feng Xue'er's astonishing strength and bearing, Xuanyuan Guyun had naturally noticed her long ago. But he never imagined that her power not only lived up to her profound rank, but far exceeded it! Her profound aura indicated a Lord Xuan Realm, Level 8, but in terms of strength, she absolutely matched his own Lord Xuan Realm, Level 9 mid-stage.
For someone like Xuanyuan Guyun to be rendered speechless by shock—perhaps in all the world, only Feng Xue'er could do such a thing.
"As expected of one who inherited the Phoenix God's power, truly astonishing and breathtaking, like a celestial being." Xuanyuan Wentian sighed with a faint smile.
Only then did the Fenghuang God Sect snap back to reality. Feng Hengkong shouted in panic: "Xue'er, what are you doing... come back now!!"
"Xue'er, don't be reckless!" Feng Tianwei's expression also changed slightly. Yun Che's exposed identity was too shocking and terrifying; even his "backing master" was completely fake. In recent times, because they had learned Yun Che had a "backing master," they not only stopped opposing Feng Xue'er's relationship with Yun Che, but actively publicized it... But now, faced with this situation, they naturally wanted to avoid any association at all costs. If anyone brought up the rumor that the Phoenix Sect was betrothing the Snow Princess to Yun Che, they would desperately deny it.
Just as the Tian Wei Sword Domain was about to seize Yun Che, Feng Xue'er suddenly stepped in to block them, causing everyone in the Fenghuang God Sect to tremble with fear.
Feng Xue'er stood before Yun Che, her voice trembling: "Brother Yun... though he is from the Huan Yao Realm, he truly is not an evil person. You cannot treat him like this."
"Not an evil person?" Xuanyuan Wentian sneered. "Hmph, truly worthy of being the Demon Emperor—even the famously renowned Phoenix Snow Princess has been thoroughly enchanted. Fenghuang God Sect, we've long heard that you were closely associated with Yun Che, even planning to betroth your most precious Snow Princess to him. But that was in the past—you didn't know Yun Che was a demon, so ignorance is excusable. But now, you still shield him like this—could it be that you are determined to ally with demons?"
"No, no, absolutely not!" Feng Hengkong said frantically. "Xue'er grew up by Lord Feng Shen's side and has little worldly experience. She simply doesn't understand the evils of demons. Coupled with Yun Che saving her life years ago, she acted rashly out of concern. There is absolutely no intention to side with demons."
"Lord Xuanyuan Sword Master, my imperial sister has a kind heart. It's only because she has been deeply deceived by Yun Che these past years that she acted recklessly! No one in our sect has ever mentioned the Huan Yao Realm to her. Even now, she doesn't even know what the Huan Yao Realm is. Otherwise, how could she help this scheming, heinous demon?"
Feng Ximing faced Xuanyuan Wentian, his expression terrified, his voice filled with pleading: "I beg Lord Xuanyuan Sword Master to judge clearly."
"Imperial sister, come back now! Yun Che is nothing but a wicked demon full of crimes! All these years, he has been deceiving you!"
Feng Zu Kui's brow darkened. He leaped forward, landing beside Feng Xue'er, and grabbed her arm: "Xue'er, your earlier strike has already repaid your debt of gratitude for saving your life. From now on, sever all ties with him. Come!"
"No!" Feng Xue'er, who was usually gentle and obedient before her elders, shook off Feng Zu Kui's hand. "Brother Yun does carry the bloodline of the Huan Yao Realm, but he grew up in Tian Xuan Continent his entire life. Even after learning that his parents and homeland are in the Huan Yao Realm, he still considers himself a Tian Xuan person. After he returned to the Huan Yao Realm and came back, there was never any so-called conspiracy. He simply regards this place as his home... During the time since Brother Yun returned, I have been with him constantly. I saw him working hard to protect his homeland and its people. He has done nothing to betray Tian Xuan Continent!"
Feng Xue'er's words were filled with anger, confusion, panic, and a hint of bewilderment. Each word struck like a jade stone hitting the heart. Yun Che walked to her side and gently patted her shoulder: "Xue'er, you don't need to say anything more. Do you think... they truly don't know whether I am an evil person or whether I have ulterior motives for returning to Tian Xuan Continent?"
Yun Che's gaze swept across the Four Sacred Grounds one by one, his eyes filled with nothing but mockery: "The Four Sacred Grounds have always claimed to guard the borders of Tian Xuan Continent, resisting foreign forces. And that foreign force is the Huan Yao Realm! But beyond the Four Sacred Grounds, who has truly seen an invasion from the Huan Yao Realm? Who has ever actually encountered someone from the Huan Yao Realm? And who truly knows whether the people of the Huan Yao Realm—and the Huan Yao Realm itself—are good or evil?"
"No one!" Yun Che said with a cold sneer, slowly shaking his head. "All you ever hear is what the Four Sacred Grounds want you to hear! Which side—the Huan Yao Realm or the Four Sacred Grounds—is truly the land of evil? Which side is filled with greed and filth? You cannot see it, but I see it clearly, and the heavens and earth see it clearly. So one day, there will surely be retribution!"
Yun Che's gaze passed over Qu Fengyi and then settled on Huangji Wuyu, leader of the Four Sacred Masters: "Sea Emperor of the Supreme Sea Palace, Saint Emperor of the Holy Domain, am I right?"
Qu Fengyi and Huangji Wuyu's brows twitched simultaneously, but neither spoke... or perhaps they had no words to reply.
"Even at death's door, you still spout nonsense, trying to defame the reputation of our Four Sacred Grounds," Xuanyuan Wentian said with contemptuous indifference. "Yun Che, surely you're not naive enough to think that the profound practitioners of Tian Xuan Continent would believe a demon emperor like you over the sacred places that have guarded Tian Xuan for ten thousand years? Absolutely ridiculous!"
"Duan Qing!"
Xuanyuan Wentian gave a low shout, and a black shadow appeared beside him like a wandering soul, emitting a hoarse voice: "Sword Master."
The moment this black-clad man appeared, all thousands of experts present shuddered. Especially those holding swords—their blades trembled on their own, emitting fearful clanging sounds.
Even Feng Zu Kui, who was in front trying to forcefully pull Feng Xue'er away, drastically changed color. A flicker of terror even flashed in his pupils.
Because this person was one of the three dreaded Sword Servants of the Tian Wei Sword Domain—the Duan Qing Sword Servant!
A terrifying existence second only to the Sacred Masters among the Four Sacred Grounds!
"Seal Yun Che's profound energy and capture him! Kill anyone who blocks...!" Xuanyuan Wentian's eyes flashed coldly. Xia Yuanba had already been restrained by the Huangji Sacred Domain. The last four words were clearly meant for the Fenghuang God Sect.
"Wait a moment!" Yun Che, who had not uttered a single word of defense until now, suddenly spoke. He looked at Xuanyuan Wentian, a meaningful smile appearing on his face: "Lord Xuanyuan Sword Master, you've exposed my identity and many secrets, but it seems you've conveniently left out the most important thing."
"Oh? Is that so?" Xuanyuan Wentian smirked contemptuously. With him present, no matter how many schemes Yun Che had, there was no way to escape: "Then tell me, what have I omitted?"
The moment he spoke, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed. But before he could even form the thought to restrain Yun Che, those three words had already left Yun Che's mouth.
"Of course... the Lunhui Jing!" Yun Che said coldly.
"..." Xuanyuan Wentian's body shook, the smile on his face completely frozen... For the first time, his face showed a dark and sinister expression. Behind him, Xuanyuan Wendao's expression also changed, his teeth grinding together audibly.
Because with Yun Che's words, Xuanyuan Wentian's carefully laid plans completely collapsed.
Xuanyuan Wentian could learn of his identity in the Huan Yao Realm through spies there, so naturally he should also know that the Lunhui Jing was on him. The only reason Xuanyuan Wentian could have for kidnapping Xiao Yun and personally confronting him... was to seize the Lunhui Jing.
But Yun Che was also puzzled: if Xuanyuan Wentian knew the Lunhui Jing was on him, why didn't he hide it from the other three Sacred Grounds and make a move against him in secret, instead confronting him publicly? Because once the matter of the Lunhui Jing was exposed, the other three Sacred Grounds would also stop at nothing to seize it, making it far harder for Xuanyuan Wentian to obtain it.
Today, Xuanyuan Wentian publicly revealed all his identities in the Huan Yao Realm, pinned several massive charges on him, but never once mentioned the "Lunhui Jing." He even concealed the "Primordial Mystic Ark."
It was when Xuanyuan Wentian deliberately hid the "Primordial Mystic Ark" that Yun Che suddenly understood his purpose.
Given the strength of the Tian Wei Sword Domain, making a secret move against him was indeed not difficult. But Yun Che was no unknown figure in Tian Xuan Continent, and even the Four Sacred Grounds paid close attention to his movements. If the Tian Wei Sword Domain made a secret move against him, it would very likely be detected by the other three Sacred Grounds, who would then investigate the cause... Especially since Xia Yuanba was a member of the Huangji Sacred Domain. Given his regard for Yun Che and Huangji Wuyu's regard for him, they might very well make a big fuss. Once it was discovered that it was because Yun Che possessed the Lunhui Jing, Xuanyuan Wentian would have no chance to "monopolize" it.
But here on the Sea God Platform, before the Four Sacred Grounds and the assembled heroes of Tian Xuan, if he openly revealed Yun Che's identity and then rightfully and reasonably took him back to the Sword Domain for disposal, the other three Sacred Grounds would have no suspicion or further investigation. At most, they would pay attention to the outcome. Then Xuanyuan Wentian could easily obtain the Lunhui Jing alone.
No—besides the Lunhui Jing, he also deliberately concealed the Primordial Mystic Ark, clearly wanting to obtain that as well!
Xuanyuan Wentian was a man of deep schemes, with a venomous and exceedingly cautious mind. His calculations could be called perfect... because according to common logic, having the "Lunhui Jing" and "Primordial Mystic Ark" not exposed would normally make someone secretly rejoice and breathe a huge sigh of relief. No fool would actively reveal them... because once exposed, it would ignite the greed of all four Sacred Grounds, placing oneself in true eternal damnation.
Xuanyuan Wentian thought the same.
But he underestimated Yun Che's fierce resolve.
Even if it meant arousing the greed of the Four Sacred Grounds, becoming a prey they would hunt at all costs, plunging himself into an abyss of endless darkness and despair, he would still give Xuanyuan Wentian a good taste of bitter nausea!!
As expected, the moment the three words "Lunhui Jing" left his mouth, the other three Sacred Grounds—especially the three Sacred Masters—all jolted as if electrocuted: "What did you say? The Lunhui Jing!?"
To the people of the seven kingdoms, "Lunhui Jing" was an unfamiliar name, but to the Sacred Grounds, it was like thunder from the heavens.
A hundred years ago, they had expended tremendous effort to invade the Huan Yao Realm, all for the Lunhui Jing, which was said to hold the secret to the divine profound!
"The Lunhui Jing is on you?" Ye Meixie said harshly, even unconsciously taking a step forward.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would Lord Xuanyuan Sword Master's expression change?" Yun Che said mockingly.
Upon hearing the Lunhui Jing, Huangji Wuyu, Qu Fengyi, Ye Meixie, and the elders of each Sacred Ground were all shocked, then burning heat surged within them. Only Xuanyuan Wentian's face was dark. The three Sacred Masters—what kind of figures were they? They understood in an instant—Xuanyuan Wentian had clearly known all along that the Lunhui Jing was on Yun Che. He had gone through all this trouble precisely to hide it from them and monopolize it!
And this also proved that the Lunhui Jing was indeed on Yun Che!
