My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Li Minghai rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

He wasn't worried, because the seemingly frail scholar beside him was actually a peak second-rank expert.

Add to that his blissful ignorance, and even the highest grade seems insufficient.

"Speaking of which, are we really okay with just the two of us?" Li Minghai asked.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Qi Yu said with a smile.

Li Zhen will die, and the Chang family will be destroyed.

……

In the Chang family mansion in the capital.

Chang Lian did not go on the autumn hunt, but stayed at the mansion.

At this moment, he looked exhausted, and his eyes were puffy, clearly indicating that he hadn't had enough rest.

Indeed, Qi Yu caused them a lot of trouble, and he even regretted that he should have killed Qi Yu without hesitation.

Qi Yu becoming the sect leader's disciple caught not only Li Ming off guard, but also Chang Lian.

Even so, he didn't dare to openly attack Qi Yu, which is why he instructed Song Yuntao to kill Qi Yu.

If Qi Yu was really killed by Song Yuntao, then he would kill Song Yuntao, even if Song Yuntao was a very well-bred dog.

The person was killed by Song Yuntao, and it has nothing to do with the Chang family. In order to appease the leader's anger, Song Yuntao must die.

In order to create an opportunity for Song Yuntao to kill Qi Yu, he went to the East Palace to find Li Ming and subtly revealed his plan.

Li Ming had been pretending to be stupid, but he had tacitly approved of Chang Lian's plan.

As expected, Qi Yu went to the Eastern Palace to ask for help, but the Crown Prince refused to see him.

He also asked a first-rank martial artist from his family to keep the situation at Changsheng Temple in check.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qi Yu will die.

But he never expected that Qi Yu was a martial artist, and at the peak of the second rank at that.

At the same time, he also understood why Tian Fang had died in Jiangzhou City.

Song Yuntao failed, losing one hand and both feet, and is currently recuperating in his room.

Zhuang Zhihuan, who had traveled a great distance from the East to the Great Yun Dynasty, was also at his residence.

Zhuang Zhihuan's arrival was a completely unexpected and delightful surprise.

This indicates that Song Yuntao's statement has reached the East and entered Qingyun Academy.

With the help of Qingyun Academy, taking over the Dayun Dynasty would be incredibly easy.

Qingyun Academy is different from ordinary forces; it is simply an academy that accepts students from all over the world.

After completing their studies, students can return to their motherland to serve their country, or stay at Qingyun Academy to teach and become teachers.

Therefore, Qingyun Academy enjoys a high reputation in various countries, and every year the country provides it with funding and support.

However, the Dayun Dynasty is quite far away and has no connection with the Qingyun Academy.

The appearance of Zhuang Zhihuan has given Chang Lian some new ideas.

Originally, he only intended to use Song Yuntao to gather intellectuals within the Dayun Dynasty for his own use.

But now that I think about it, I realize that my vision was too short-sighted.

Zhuang Zhihuan needed something from Song Yuntao, or rather, Qingyun Academy needed something from Song Yuntao.

So, is there anything I can do to gain some benefits from Qingyun Academy?

As he pondered, he thought of Qi Yu again.

Song Yuntao himself was not particularly talented; it was Qi Yu who was.

If Zhuang Zhihuan discovers this, then all my thoughts will be in vain.

After going around in circles, it seems that everything is inseparable from Qi Yu.

That's why he was so overwhelmed!

Although I don't want to admit it, Qi Yu has indeed become a major threat.

Or rather, I didn't take it seriously from the beginning!

Because Qi Yu came from a poor background and his only support was the crown prince, the prince believed that he could kill Qi Yu at any time.

Ultimately, the best opportunity was missed!

He wanted to take control of the situation in the capital city tonight, starting with the Marquis of Guanyong's residence and then the imperial palace.

The troops stationed in the capital are their people, so the situation isn't that bad.

Chang Lian rubbed his temples, picked up the letter he had written, and put it into an envelope.

"Someone come here!"

Chang Lian called out and stood up.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came in, and Chang Lian couldn't help but frown.

"Guards, are they all dead?" Chang Lian shouted.

There was complete silence; there was no response.

Chang Lian frowned, walked to the door, and opened it.

A biting, icy wind blew by, and Chang Lian instinctively raised his hand to block it.

After a long while, Chang Lian finally put his hand down and looked at the courtyard, which had turned into an ice cave.

Bang, bang!

The two guards at the gate suddenly collapsed, crashing to the ground and shattering into ice shards.

Chang Lian was taken aback, then looked around warily; all was silent.

Then, without thinking, Chang Lian walked out of the room and into the courtyard, looking up at the roof of the study.

"Long time no see, Young Master Chang!" Qi Yu sat astride the rooftop, looking down at Chang Lian with indifference.

"I didn't expect it to be Brother Qi who has come to visit! You actually dare to come to my Chang family? Aren't you afraid of death?" Chang Lian asked calmly.

Qi Yu looked at Chang Lian, a slow smile playing on his lips, and said, "The premise of being afraid of death is that the other party must have the strength to kill me. I'm here precisely because you don't have that kind of strength!"

Chang Lian snorted coldly and shouted, "Guards!"

Chang Lian's voice echoed, but no one responded.

Qi Yu looked at Chang Lian with a half-smile, as if he were looking at a clown.

After being a clown for so long, it's time for Chang Lian to take the stage!

Chang Lian called out several times, but there was still no response.

"You don't need to shout anymore. Everyone in the entire Chang family mansion, except for you, the two in the side rooms, and the one in the ancestral hall, is dead!"

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Battle Against a Half-Step Grandmaster

To catch the thief, you must first catch the leader. Li Ming gave too few men, and they couldn't compete with the soldiers of the city gate guards, so the only option was to control the leader first.

Boom, boom, boom...

Chang Lian was still in a daze because of Qi Yu's words when he suddenly heard several booming sounds, like thunder.

Chang Lian turned his head involuntarily, looking in the direction from which the sound came, a sense of unease welling up in his heart.

That direction leads to the settlement of the Chang family's retainers.

Qi Yu also looked in that direction and laughed, "It's started. That should be the gathering place for your Chang family's guest retainers, right? Three second-rank, thirteen fourth-rank, and three hundred and fifty fifth- to eighth-rank."

"With this force, and the fact that the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard is one of your men, seizing the palace and taking control of the capital city will be a piece of cake."

Chang Lian's expression was rather unpleasant. How could Qi Yu know so much?

"How did you know?" Chang Lian asked, frowning.

"Of course someone told me. I know all about your plans," Qi Yu said with a smile.

Chang Lian's plan is tonight, but he hasn't taken action yet, so Qi Yu decided not to wait any longer and strike first.

With the Chang family, a first-rank official, eliminated, there will be virtually no more threats to the capital. Taking control of the capital will only be a matter of time.

In order to quickly defeat these people, Qi Yu even gave Li Minghai's men several modified bombs.

That sound just now was the sound of a bomb exploding.

"Go down and wait there. I'll send your entire Chang family down with you!"

As he spoke, Qi Yu stood up, and with a slight thought, the true energy around him condensed into an ice-blue sword.

Qi Yu jumped down from the roof and then walked towards Chang Lian.

Just then, a surge of true energy suddenly pressed down, causing Qi Yu to involuntarily stop in his tracks.

"Young friend, aren't you being far too arrogant?"

An aged figure appeared between Qi Yu and Chang Lian, blocking Qi Yu's path.

The Chang family's first-rank martial artist is also the source of their confidence.

The case file says this person has already stepped halfway into the realm of a grandmaster, which is terrifying.

"Second Grandfather!" Chang Lian greeted him with a bow.

This person is from the Chang family, named Chang Xuanqing. The day he breaks through to the Grandmaster level will be the day his Chang family reigns supreme in the Great Yun Dynasty.

The Chang family has been waiting all these years, waiting for Chang Xuanqing to break through to the Grandmaster level, or for Li Zhen, the Grandmaster of the Li family, to die.

A master can change many things.

The Blood God Cult was at its zenith because it was suspected that it had two grandmasters.

"Chang Lian, you go first, go check out West Alley!" Chang Xuanqing said.

Chang Lian glanced at Qi Yu, then bowed and walked towards the side room.
