The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 66 Wu Ye, the Overlord Blade (Supplement)

The night was long and the cold wind howled. At midnight, the Jade Purity Sect received an uninvited guest.

"Wu Ye! Quickly go and find your Uncle Yi Dao and Elder Ling." Due to the importance of the matter, Feng Tianjue, the sect leader of Yuqing Sect, who was about to go to bed, got up again to change his clothes after hearing the news.

He then sent a domineering young man, who was sitting cross-legged outside his door, to secretly inform the two elders who were his "right-hand men".

"No problem, Master!" The man's voice was full of energy, and his eyes shone brightly, like a gust of wind in the night sky. Several leaves that were carried by him disappeared without a trace before they even hit the ground.

"Wu Ye's cultivation has improved again!" After a sigh, Feng Tian, ​​who had just stepped out of the room, looked in despair toward the Jade Purity Palace and disappeared into thin air.

The young man's name was Wu Ye, and he was twenty-six years old. He had just emerged from seclusion a few days ago. He was one of Feng Tianjue's most outstanding disciples, ranking second among his three personal disciples. His cultivation had already reached the tenth level a year ago.

Wu Ye was upright and incorruptible by nature, and his swordsmanship was superb. He had mastered the three essentials of swordsmanship: speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, and people gave him the nickname "Overlord Blade". His quasi-title was: Overlord Blade - Wu Ye!
After an incense stick has burned, in a magnificent, verdant palace, a man, a woman, and two elderly men stood below the platform, silently watching the Jade Purity Sect Master seated on the Jade Purity Hall, patiently waiting for him to speak.

At this moment, Feng Tianjue was frowning as he carefully examined a secret letter in his hand, his expression shifting between joy and worry, and it was unclear what news he had learned.

"Sect Master Tianjue, I apologize for disturbing you." Seeing Feng Tianjue sigh after reading it, the veiled woman bowed slightly and apologized first.

She then excused herself, saying, "I have delivered the letter! If there is nothing else, I will not stay any longer."

"Miss Miaoxuan, please take care. I won't see you off any further!" Feng Tianjue nodded gently and smiled in response. After watching the woman slowly leave the main hall and disappear from sight, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Sect Master, what brings you here?" Liu Yidao and Ling Weiyun's clones asked respectfully, clasping their hands in greeting. Although they had a good relationship in private, they still knew how to maintain proper decorum in public.

"Feng Ling, Qi Cheng, and the others have encountered trouble in Sunset City!" As he spoke in a deep voice, he noticed that the others frowned slightly, as if they had remembered something.

Feng Tianjue turned his head to look at Elder Liu Yidao again and added, "Oh! By the way, your disciple Leng Ningshuang is here too."

"Uh...? That girl also went to Sunset City? Wasn't she supposed to go to the Netherworld Rift?" Elder Liu Yidao was taken aback, then smiled bitterly, clearly not knowing much about Leng Ningshuang's whereabouts.

"Senior Sister is actually... a disciple of Elder Liu?" Ling Weiyun's clone and the main body of the Sun family mansion were both surprised, and then they realized.

It seems that Leng Ningshuang recommended him to Liu Yidao back then, but Feng Ling didn't investigate the relationship between the two at the time.

"Whoosh!" A powerful layer of ghostly and divine power instantly sealed off the entire Jade Purity Palace, arriving with the speed and force of a tsunami, leaving several high-level ghost spirit masters at the peak of the tenth level without any time to react.

Feng Tianjue's gaze sharpened, and he spoke with a sense of loss: "We have both heard about the death of the Sunset City Lord, but now there are many suspicious points that vaguely suggest that Sun Yunshan died a violent death!"

The territory of Yuqing Sect has always been peaceful. Even the bandits and outlaws who still exist in other sects have been wiped out here. The fact that such a thing has happened now seems very strange.

"This matter is extraordinary! What are the sect leader's plans?" Upon thinking of this, Elder Liu Yidao was startled and asked Feng Tianjue in a deep voice, while Ling Weiyun's clone remained silent, knowing how Feng Tianjue would decide.

"The prominent figures of Sunset City, led by the newly rich Li Hao, have jointly submitted a petition at the invitation of Sun Yunshan's daughter, Sun Yuyang, requesting... Elder Ling!" Feng Tianjue turned his head to look at Ling Weiyun's clone, shook his head, and sighed helplessly.

He thought to himself, "If Brother Ling leaves, we won't have any fun. Besides, the Ghost Locking Tower is the most important thing in the sect, and we can't afford any mistakes! But he has to go on this mission, which is really troubling me."

"No, Brother Ling can't go! Sect Master, how about I go in his place?" Elder Yidao volunteered, and he could easily see the implications of the situation.

"Alas! Yi Dao, your dueling arena doesn't tolerate even the slightest mistake!" Feng Tianjue sighed wistfully, his words carrying a hidden meaning. Upon hearing this, Liu Yi Dao was taken aback, then suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. In a way, the secrets of the dueling arena were what truly threatened the life and death of the Jade Purity Sect.

If we compare the Ghost Locking Tower with the Duel Arena, then if the Ghost Locking Tower malfunctions, it's like being poisoned with a slow-acting poison; while if the Duel Arena malfunctions, it's like being poisoned with a potent poison, which could overthrow the Jade Purity Sect at any moment!
“Master, leave the Ghost-Locking Tower to me!” Just as Feng Tianjue was extremely troubled, a confident and wild aura emanated from the young man who had been silently listening. Upon hearing this, Feng Tianjue and Liu Yidao’s eyes lit up at the same time, while Ling Weiyun’s clone seemed to be deep in thought, secretly observing the man beside him.

"Wu Ye, are you sure you can shoulder this great responsibility?" Feng Tianjue asked solemnly, not because he didn't trust his disciple, but because he trusted him completely.

Defending a tower requires meticulousness and caution; mere skill isn't enough. Young people are often full of youthful enthusiasm, but the real danger lies in... impatience and restlessness!
"Master, rest assured, your disciple will do his duty to the utmost and will not leave your side for even a moment until the Guardian returns!" Wu Ye bowed, clasped his hands in a fist and made a promise, and respectfully bowed.

"Alright, then I will temporarily entrust the Ghost Locking Tower to your care!" After much deliberation, Feng Tianjue finally made the decision. Wu Ye then took the Guardian Token from Ling Weiyun's clone, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the three elders, and left to take charge. This shows the strict attitude of this person.

Despite Wu Ye's arrogant and unrestrained appearance, he is actually very meticulous. Feng Tianjue understood this point, which is why he dared to entrust the Ghost Locking Tower to Wu Ye. Moreover, the Ghost Locking Tower's protective power is not entirely in the open. If a problem really occurs, the hidden forces will naturally surface.

"Junior Nephew Wu, please look after my two disciples on the seventh floor!" An aged voice suddenly rang in his ears. Wu Ye, who had just stepped out of the hall, paused slightly. Then, before disappearing, Wu Ye replied, "Don't worry, Elder Ling, I will take good care of my two junior brothers."

Now that Ling Weiyun's clone had no more worries, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Zhu Bupang and Gou Bushou had both advanced to the sixth level, and with their combined strength, facing a seventh-level opponent head-on wouldn't be a big problem.

As Feng Ling thought, it was time to cultivate the teamwork between the two, so he moved them from the fifth floor to the seventh floor.

"Sect Master, then this old man will depart immediately!" Ling Weiyun's clone did not want to linger any longer and took the initiative to inform Feng Tianjue. Every minute wasted wasted would lead to more unforeseen events. Only by having his clone go could he legitimately and openly investigate the entire Sun Mansion on a large scale.

Otherwise, relying solely on Feng Ling's true form to sneak around would ultimately be quite limiting. It's uncertain when they'll be able to solve the case and leave.

"Elder Ling, there's no need to rush. You can go tomorrow at dawn!" Feng Tianjue was deeply moved, thinking that Ling Weiyun's avatar was in such a hurry for the sake of the Jade Purity Sect, which made some people feel quite embarrassed.

"Besides, I also need Brother Ling to take someone with me when he goes to Sunset City tomorrow...!" Feng Tianjue sighed and shook his head. He changed his form of address when he said this.

"Hmm?" Ling Weiyun's clone immediately realized something, and swallowed back all the words he wanted to say.

Then, the three nodded and dispersed. After leaving the main hall, Feng Tianjue did not go straight back...

*****
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" In a secluded pavilion in a side hall, Feng Tianjue appeared out of nowhere, standing with his hands behind his back in front of a haggard-looking woman, gazing sadly at the starry sky.

"Father! Why are you here?" The woman's bright eyes flickered slightly, her whole body weak and listless. Finally, she spoke softly, her voice full of grievance, "I... I'm hungry, and I can't sleep!"

"Silly girl! Why are you being so stubborn with your father? Do you think your father wants to confine you here?" Feng Tianjue turned around, looking at the haggard, lightly made-up woman, feeling both annoyed and amused.

He thought to himself, "To think that I, the dignified leader of a sect, would have my precious daughter reduced to starvation is laughable."

This woman was none other than Feng Yuqing, who was under house arrest. The once lively and energetic young lady was now completely dejected, as if she had entered her twilight years. This feeling was indescribably distressing and made people feel sorry for her.

"Alright, go get something to eat! Tomorrow, you will accompany Elder Ling down the mountain to Sunset City to lend a helping hand to Feng Ling and the others!"

Seeing that Feng Yuqing was about to explain something, Feng Tianjue quickly waved his hand to interrupt her. He then deliberately emphasized the words "Feng Ling". When he saw the woman's eyebrows relax and her worries turn to joy, he felt even more bitter.

"Thank you, Father! I'll go right away...!" Feng Yuqing was overjoyed, his previous dejection vanished in a few flashes, and he disappeared towards the kitchen.

Completely oblivious to who was taking her to Sunset City, her heart was already overflowing with excitement at the mere mention of the name "Feng Ling"!
