Chapter 277 Are you...?

His words were overheard by Quan Rong, who arrived later, and his expression immediately darkened. "External sabotage? We've been guarding the Thunder Tower for so many years, and this has never happened before."

His gaze fell on Yun Fuzhao.

The implication is obvious.

Gong Yuhe suddenly remembered that not long ago, she had replaced him with a puppet and disappeared without a trace...

All eyes were on her face. Yun Fuzhao was more wronged than Dou E, especially since she had been caught red-handed by Gong Yuhe earlier.

What a coincidence! Could someone be trying to frame her?

Yun Fuzhao looked at Gong Yuhe: "Would you believe me if I said it wasn't me?"

I thought he wouldn't answer, but to my surprise, Gong Yuhe nodded and calmly replied, "I believe you."

The speed was so fast that Yun Fuzhao suspected it was a delaying tactic.

Quan Rong's expression showed disapproval, and his tone carried a hint of warning: "Holy Son..."

“Inspector Quan, she had no need to do this,” Gong Yuhe said. “If her goal was to release the ferocious beast, there was absolutely no need for her to fight Qiongqi.”

"Then why was the seal broken as soon as she arrived?"

Yun Fuzhao: "Inspector Quan, isn't it obvious that someone is trying to frame me? They're trying to sow discord between us."

She spoke with great conviction, "If our relationship is disrupted, who will benefit from it?"

These words silenced Quan Rong. After a long while, he said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Now that everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, there was no need for Yun Fuzhao to stay any longer.

“Yu Ze said that Qiongqi is no longer in the Demon Realm,” Yun Fuzhao said. “We need to determine its location before we can surround and kill it.”

"It takes time to fuse with the beast bones, and this is when he is most vulnerable. We can take this opportunity to get rid of him."

“Yu Ze said there are seal marks on the beast bones of Brahma Palace. As long as we follow the marks, we can find him.”

Gong Yuhe said calmly, "After Sect Master Yun finds Qiongqi, the Rebirth Hall will send powerful experts to kill the ferocious beast."

"Thanks."

Yun Fuzhao was moved to tears; her allies were all incredibly reliable.

Xuantian Sect.

"Nian'er," Wen Yan said, standing outside the door with eyes full of heartache, "can you talk to me?"

There was no sound from inside the house.

Wen Yan felt as if her heart had been tugged, a sharp, throbbing pain rising within her.

After returning from the Northern Continent, Yu Nian'er locked herself in her room and didn't step out once.

He refused to see anyone.

Wen Yan then learned that her Azure Divine Phoenix had been severely injured and was likely to die soon.

Having known each other for so long, he knows her personality best. Although she appears gentle, she is very strong-willed.

She simply couldn't accept the destruction of the Azure Phoenix.

His heartache for her gradually turned into endless hatred for Yun Fuzhao. If it weren't for her, how could he and Nian'er have ended up like this?

Thinking this, the voice in his mind sounded again: "Now that Yun Fuzhao's dragon clan is growing increasingly powerful, and she has the protection of the demon realm and monster realm, the best way to defeat her in one fell swoop is to release the ferocious beasts."

Wen Yan frowned and released the ferocious beast...

If he were to actually do that, how would he be any different from a traitor in the cultivation world?

Seemingly sensing his thoughts, the voice continued: "If you don't do this, you'll never be able to defeat Yun Fuzhao."

Didn't you say you'd help me?

Wen Yan was enraged. "Even with your help, I still can't deal with her?"

[Heh, do you really think you can fight her with your current strength?]

Wen Yan dropped the pretense and sneered at the voice, "I thought you were something special, but it turns out you're just a piece of trash."

"…Enraging me won't work," the voice paused, "but if you're unwilling to release the ferocious beasts, I have another way. If you help me, we won't even need to worry about the dragons, let alone the four great ferocious beasts."

Hearing this, Wen Yan's expression finally softened. "What method?"

【that is……】

"How did the negotiations go?"

Yun Fuzhao patted his chest, "You can rest assured that I'll handle things."

Yu Ze sat up. His injuries had almost healed, and he would be able to jump around again in a day or two.

"Can you find any trace of Qiongqi now?"

"News has come from the Demon Realm that he is currently in the Human Realm."

Yun Fuzhao's expression was solemn. "The human realm is not the same as the cultivation realm. If we were to fight there, I'm afraid most of the people would suffer."

Yu Ze didn't feel anything special about this; whether others lived or died was none of his concern.

Yun Fuzhao is not exactly a great philanthropist, but if the human race is affected, the talent pool in the cultivation world will dwindle in the future.

Moreover, the disciples of the sect did not want to see their families involved in the trouble.

Is there any way to lure it out?

After a moment of contemplation, Yu Ze said, "Its target is the two of us. Perhaps we can lure it into our trap."

The Demon Realm suppressed it, but Qiongqi would not let the demons go. Yun Fuzhao had also killed it, so the two of them were indeed ranked first on Qiongqi's kill list.

He flipped his wrist, and a huge animal bone appeared. "This is the animal bone he left behind. This one was not used to build the Brahma Palace."

“Since there’s still one left,” Yun Fuzhao said, “I have an idea.”

Yun Fuzhao moved closer to him and whispered something.

The moment Yu Ze approached, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze involuntarily fell on her profile.

"...That works, but there's a slight risk. What do you think?"

After not hearing his reply for a while, Yun Fuzhao was a little puzzled and turned to look at him.

Yu Ze's breath hitched, and under her gaze, he licked his lips uncomfortably.

Yun Fuzhao looked bewildered. "Did you hear what I just said?"

"...I heard you."

His expression made Yun Fuzhao very suspicious. "Then repeat it."

"..."

His silence proved everything.

"I was just thinking about something else," Yu Ze stared straight at her, showing no sign of apology. "Say it again?"

Yun Fuzhao sighed, and was about to repeat himself when he heard Yu Ze say, "Come closer, so that no one can hear us."

"?"

No, is there a third person here?

Yun Fuzhao immediately raised his hand and set up a formation. "Alright, this way we won't be heard."

"..."

After setting it up, Yun Fuzhao distanced herself from him and briefly reiterated her plan to him.

This time, Yu Ze understood everything.

Okay. I'll do whatever you say.

"Okay, I'll inform the others about the plan right away."

Yun Fuzhao stood up. "You should focus on healing your injuries first. There's no rush."

Yu Ze nodded, something flashing in his dark eyes. He asked out of the blue, "I heard from Zhan Miaoyan that you stayed up all night with me when I was sick?"

It would have been better if we hadn't talked about it, because just mentioning it made Yun Fuzhao's hand ache. "You stubborn brat, even when you're asleep you still hold my hand and won't let go, and you keep calling my name."

She narrowed her eyes, "Are you...?"

Yu Ze's heart raced, and without thinking, he admitted, "Yes."

"—Are you secretly cursing me in your dreams?"

"?"
