On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Nancheng Hotel.

Presidential Suite.

Wang Jiuxiao has woken up.

He was kneeling in front of Ye Liuyun, not daring to even lift his head.

A dignified two-star martial artist was instantly killed by a seven-star martial artist; this is an utter disgrace.

"Master, I have disgraced you."

Wang Jiuxiao's voice trembled.

Ye Liuyun's face was gloomy.

"Losing is losing, it's not a big deal."

"This is a good thing for you too."

"You've had it too easy, making you forget that there are always people more capable than you, and that there's always something beyond your understanding."

Wang Jiuxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but still gritted his teeth and said,

"Master, that woman's kung fu is too evil."

"I felt like my inner energy hitting her was like a clay ox sinking into the sea—it had no effect whatsoever, and then it bounced back!"

"That's a profound technique of using someone else's strength against them."

Ye Liuyun nodded.

"I know."

"This kind of skill is definitely not something that a small place like Nancheng could have."

"Master, you said..."

Wang Jiuxiao raised his head.

"Master, I heard a rumor last night."

"Someone said someone went into that forbidden area in the desolate mountains. Could it be that woman's master???"

The desolate, forbidden land is shrouded in mystery, so much so that even the Martial King dares not enter. Anyone who can enter must be a being surpassing the Martial King, and it is very likely the master of the woman who defeated him today.

"Very likely."

"This is a forbidden area in the wilderness; even Su Nantian doesn't dare to enter it easily."

"If there really is someone in there, they must be a reclusive master."

"but……"

Ye Liuyun sneered.

"So what if they're experts?"

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

"This level of skill, if it falls into the hands of a little girl, is tantamount to suicide."

"Moreover, I suspect that this technique is of dubious origin."

Ye Liuyun stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the night view of Nancheng.

"Jiuxiao, go and make preparations."

"I will be holding a press conference tomorrow morning."

"Since that girl is so stubborn and won't tell me, then I'll force her to."

"I want everyone in the entire southern city, and even the entire Jiangnan province, to know."

"The evil skill that Liu Fuyao practices is a scourge to the world!"

……

The next day.

Early in the morning.

It was still dark.

But the internet in Nancheng has already exploded.

A bombshell announcement instantly flooded everyone's phones.

[Peak Martial King Ye Liuyun will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM today to reveal shocking inside information about yesterday's "Battle of Nancheng"!]

This title is definitely meant to stir up trouble.

They also understand traffic.

A shocking secret?

What inside story?!

……

10 o'clock sharp.

Nancheng Hotel.

conference hall.

It was packed with reporters from all walks of life.

The long guns and short cannons were set up like they were in a war.

Ye Liuyun was dressed in a long black robe, his expression serious.

"Dear friends from the media and colleagues from the martial arts community."

"I think everyone is paying close attention to yesterday's competition."

"First of all, I want to congratulate Nancheng."

"It is a fact that my apprentice's skills are not up to par and he lost to my young friend Liu Fuyao. Although I am heartbroken, I am also gratified that such a talent has emerged from Nancheng."

He paused at this point.

The reporters below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment.

Has this old man changed his ways?

So generous?

It wasn't like this yesterday.

However, the next second, Ye Liuyun changed his tone, his eyes sharpening.

"but!"

"As a veteran who has been involved in the martial arts world for decades, there are some things I have to say."

Even if these words might offend people.

Even if people misunderstand me as a sore loser, I have to say it!

"Because this concerns the very foundation of martial arts, and the safety of all living beings!"

Good heavens, that's an incredibly high level of accusation.

As he spoke, he pulled out a yellowed ancient book from his pocket and held it up in his hand.

"After returning home yesterday, I consulted a large number of ancient books and materials."

"I have discovered that the characteristics, aura, and trajectory of the technique used by young friend Liu Fuyao are strikingly similar to a forbidden evil art that once caused a bloodbath in the martial arts world three hundred years ago—the Bloodthirsty Demon Art."

boom!

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Bloodthirsty Demon Art?

This name doesn't sound good at all!

"Many people may not know this."

Ye Liuyun was heartbroken.

"This kind of evil technique can make a cultivator's strength increase dramatically in a short period of time, and even allow them to kill enemies across levels."

"But the price it pays is burning one's life force, even devouring the life essence of others!"

"Young friend Liu Fuyao, how could you possess such terrifying combat power at such a young age?"

"If she didn't practice this evil technique, how can you explain her ability to instantly kill a two-star martial artist?"

"I, Ye Liuyun, am not targeting young friend Liu. I believe she is inherently kind and must have been deceived by that so-called mysterious master!"

As Ye Liuyun spoke, her eyes actually reddened.

"That master hiding behind the scenes, for his own ulterior motives, actually used a young girl as a vessel to teach her this harmful and evil magic!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"so!"

"Smack."

Ye Liuyun slammed his hand on the table, speaking with righteous indignation.

"I demand to see the master she mentioned!"

"If I have misjudged it, and if it is a righteous cultivation method, I, Ye Liuyun, will kneel down and apologize on the spot."

"I'd give my old life for him!"

"But what if this really is a forbidden technique..."

"Even if I, Ye Liuyun, am shattered to pieces, I will seek justice for all martial artists under heaven."

"We must also pull young friend Liu back from the abyss of demonic cultivation!"

These words were spoken with resounding force.

Coupled with Ye Liuyun's righteous and awe-inspiring expression, he was practically the embodiment of justice.

The reporters in the audience were stunned.

Immediately following was a flurry of camera shutter clicks.

Big news!

This is absolutely huge news!

The original story was about a "genius girl's comeback".

It instantly turned into "an ignorant girl being tricked by an evil master into practicing demonic arts".

This plot twist is even more exciting than a TV drama!

……

Less than half an hour.

The video then went viral across the entire internet.

Public opinion shifted instantly.

Those who were praising Liu Fuyao as the "shining light of Nancheng" began to waver.

#I knew it! How could a seven-star martial artist possibly kill a two-star martial artist instantly? Turns out he practiced some evil technique.

#This is terrifying! Bloodthirsty Demon Art? Just hearing about it is frightening. Does Liu Fuyao suck people's blood?

#Hiss, recently, martial artists in the South City have been dying frequently, their bodies covered in blood. Could it be this Blood Devouring Demon Art?

#Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, it's really possible!

#I think Ye Wuwang makes sense. What kind of martial arts techniques allow people to attack those above them?

#That master is definitely not a good person, otherwise he would have shown himself long ago.

#Poor Goddess Liu, she was deceived without even knowing it.

#This must be thoroughly investigated; that evil martial arts master must be caught and executed.

#Could it be that the murder of the martial arts master in Nancheng was really committed by Goddess Liu?

#Oh my god, that's terrifying!!!
