Chapter 2512: Stirring Up the Hornet’s Nest

Chapter 2512: Chapter 2512: Stirring Up the Hornet’s Nest

"Miss Lianqin? Isn’t this lady beside you?"

Ye Haochuan was a bit puzzled; he had always thought that this woman who had been relentlessly pursuing him was the Baili Lianqin Xu Wenrui had mentioned.

"When did I ever say my name was Baili Lianqin?"

The woman said irritably, "My name is Wan... Wan Qin, I’m Baili Jin’s sister-in-law!"

Only then did Ye Haochuan realize he had made a mistake; it turns out that the other woman, who gave him a strange feeling, was actually Baili Lianqin.

"She was captured? Why would the Temple people want to capture her?"

Ye Haochuan voiced his confusion once more.

"I don’t know either; it seems they weren’t just hunting us this time, but had planned to kidnap Miss Lianqin from the start."

Baili Qi’s expression darkened as he spoke, finally sighing miserably, "It’s all my fault for being useless, I couldn’t successfully protect Miss Lianqin and could only use my last resort to hide Miss Wan in the space."

Baili Lianqin and Wan Qin were both entrusted to him with repeated exhortations from Baili Jin, and now he had only managed to protect one; he really couldn’t face Baili Jin. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Wan Qin glanced at the corpse marionettes around Ye Haochuan, suddenly saying, "Ye Haochuan, since you have so many helpers, hurry up and come with us to rescue Lianqin!"

What kind of commanding tone is this, as if I’m so familiar with you?

Ye Haochuan’s anger flared up immediately.

This woman had inexplicably tried to assassinate him twice; the fact that he didn’t retaliate already showed a lot of generosity, considering the common enemy in the Temple.

Unexpectedly, this woman behaved so haughtily, not treating him as an outsider at all!

"Sorry, I’m not some selfless saint, I’m not going to risk my life to save someone unrelated to me!" Ye Haochuan said coldly.

"You coward, fearing death; I really didn’t misjudge you! If you’re not going, then I’ll go myself!"

Wan Qin gave Ye Haochuan a disdainful look, giving a cold snort.

"Aren’t you going a bit too far with that? We’ve only met twice, and each time we fought seriously, when did you ever have the chance to misjudge me?"

Ye Haochuan said speechlessly, "Besides, although I’ve seen Baili Lianqin, I haven’t even spoken a word with her; why would I risk my own life to save her?"

"Ye Haochuan, do you know who she is?" Wan Qin said angrily.

"Who?" Ye Haochuan asked casually.

"She is..."

Before Wan Qin finished her sentence, she swallowed her words back, and after a while, gritted her teeth, "She is Baili Jin’s daughter. If Baili Jin finds out you left her to die, he definitely won’t let you off!"

"Lord Lang Baili Jin, huh? Quite a renowned name! But as a respected senior, he wouldn’t be as unreasonable as you say, right? Is his daughter’s life precious, but mine isn’t?" Ye Haochuan retorted with a smirk.

"You..."

Wan Qin was momentarily speechless, her exposed beautiful eyes behind the veil filled with conflict, apparently debating whether or not to say something.

It was Long Piaoying standing to the side who couldn’t bear it any longer and said kindly, "A girl in the hands of villains is truly frightening. Haochuan, if there’s a chance, shouldn’t we try to save Miss Lianqin?"

Perhaps from watching too many dramas on Earth, she couldn’t help but imagine the scene where a pretty girl falls into the hands of bandits and is mercilessly ravaged; she really couldn’t bear to see a well-bred young lady suffer such a fate.

"Alright, I can go for the rescue, but there must be an opportunity. I won’t foolishly throw my life away!"

Ye Haochuan, unable to refuse Long Piaoying, agreed solemnly.

"Young Master Ye, are you really willing to go save Miss Lianqin?"

Tears sparkled in Baili Qi’s eyes as he spoke with hope.

He never really expected Ye Haochuan to agree to Wan Qin’s request because if it were him, he wouldn’t take the risk.

The people from the Temple are truly numerous; a squad of twenty with fifteen Demi-God Realm experts is quite a force.

Any squad Ye Haochuan’s team encounters will be a devastating match.

"Alright, let’s leave here first!"

Ye Haochuan didn’t answer Baili Qi’s question but reminded instead.

The five people just now were clearly lying in wait for Baili Qi and the others; it’s no wonder the rest of their teammates might already be closing in.

If they face an encounter now, they certainly won’t be able to cope.

Baili Qi also realized the gravity of the situation and, without saying more, followed along with Wan Qin.

This guy, who just two hours ago was leading a squad of ten people, now showed no former arrogance, seemingly deferring to Ye Haochuan.

If other Demi-God Cultivators knew, they would surely laugh out loud at how he obediently listens to a Void God Cultivator’s orders.

However, at this time, Baili Qi didn’t dare think of these matters; any observer could see that Ye Haochuan was the undisputed core of this mostly corpse marionette-formed team.

Shortly after they left, over ten figures appeared where the battle was fought just now.

The leader of the group was precisely the pockmarked female cultivator who had once forced Ye Haochuan and others into the Minor World.

This pockmarked female cultivator frowned, looking at the five incomplete corpses hanging there, her expression grim.

"There are still Demi-God Cultivators in this Twin Moon Secret Realm?"

She was evidently surprised.

The teams from the three major families successively encountered the Temple people, almost suffering complete annihilation; with their target seemingly achieved, they thought they could comfortably collect Divine Charm next.

Who would have thought there was still a fish that escaped the net?

"Pursue them, don’t let them escape!"

After a moment of contemplation, the pockmarked female cultivator added, "The opposing side was able to take down five Demi-Gods in such a short time, so they probably have over ten Demi-Gods; let’s not scatter and give them a chance to defeat us separately. Inform the other teams, have them gather here to intercept!"

Clearly, Long Piaoying’s powerful methods had led the pockmarked female cultivator to misjudge the situation.

For a time, the Twin Moon Secret Realm, which had been calm, again began to brim with killing intent.

"Damn, we’ve startled the snake!"

The flying Ye Haochuan suddenly furrowed his brow.

In his hurry, he had only left a Divine Sense Incarnation to scout, forgetting to deal with those five corpses.

Now, the pockmarked female cultivator has evidently become aware of their team’s strength, making future engagements surely more difficult.

Ye Haochuan hesitated whether to take everyone into the Minor World to avoid the storm for a while.

Just then, two familiar figures appeared in the view of his Divine Sense Incarnation. One was Baili Lianqin, and the other was unexpectedly Xu Xiuyuan!

"The Xu Family suffered too, serves Xu Xiuyuan right!"

Ye Haochuan cursed with a smirk.

If Xu Xiuyuan had spread Xu Wenrui’s information in time, the three families acting together wouldn’t be outnumbered by the Temple; even against a squad, they wouldn’t be completely defenseless.

At the very least, their chances of escape would have increased significantly!

Yet it all failed completely because of Xu Xiuyuan’s obstinance; saying this guy deserved to die ten thousand deaths wouldn’t be an understatement.

However, at this moment, Ye Haochuan suddenly lost the urge to enter the Minor World.

Not because of that bastard Xu Xiuyuan, but considering whether to seize the opportunity to rescue Baili Lianqin.

The team of the pockmarked female cultivator originally had fifteen Demi-God Cultivators and five Void God Cultivators in their lineup.

After Ye Haochuan had killed five Demi-Gods just now, only ten Demi-Gods remained, and due to previous skirmishes with Baili Family, some were still nursing injuries.

If he genuinely wanted to rescue Baili Lianqin, now would undoubtedly be the best opportunity.
