Gate of God

“Lin Mubai, do you know about the sacrifices Yu Er made so that you could keep the 13 Heaven Dao Tablets? Yet, you lost the tablets, and to make things worse, they were taken by the Demon Race. How could you be shameless enough to keep living, and even come looking for Yu Er?” As Qian Ye was speaking, she took a step forward. Her eyes were glowing with a chilling golden light.

“I… I…” Lin Mubai couldn’t say a word against Qian Ye. He was trembling and completely unaware that Qian Ye was inching towards him.

“During that war, master put her life on the line to prevent the Demon and Monster race from winning. She was severely injured as a result, and she soon passed… Ai, how could you have the audacity to come to Ling Yun Tower?” Qian Ye continued.

“I’ve let Leader Lan down, but I feel…”

“Hmph, let her down? Do you think that’s enough to repent for your sins? Do you know that you have not only let master down, but you also let mankind down? Do you know how important the Heaven Dao Tablets are? How could you allow them to be taken by the Demon Race? Do you want to witness mankind’s extinction?

“Mankind’s extinction…”

“That’s right. You’ve personally witnessed the war between humans, demons, and monsters. Do you really think that the demons and monsters would let it go? If it wasn’t because of you, the war wouldn’t have taken place, and Yu Er wouldn’t have to be punished!”

“Punished?! Was Yu Er punished because of that war? She was imprisoned because of that? Does that mean… I’m the cause of all her sufferings?” Lin Mubai trembled, unable to believe what he had just heard.

“What did you think was the cause?” Qian Ye moved closer towards Lin Mubai and continued in a chilling tone, “When Yu Er returned to Ling Yun Tower a dozen years ago, she was already repenting her mistakes. Master did not intend to imprison her, and she even wanted to make her the next leader!”

“What happened after that? Why did…”

“It was because of you! Everything was because of you! Master knew that Yu Er was pregnant with your child, but you should know about Ling Yun Tower’s rules since the beginning. Us disciples of Ling Yun Tower have chosen to take on the path of emotionlessness and devoid ourselves of all humanly emotions. In that case, how could the successor of Ling Yun Tower be allowed to have a child?”

“Child… Are you saying that what Hua Fei did had led to Yu Er…”

“That’s right! Master helped Yu Er to conceal the truth and even allowed her to give birth to Ping Yang. She only told all the other disciples that Ping Yang was a kid that they found outside. In that case, Yu Er could still take over as the next leader. However, Chen Feihua came to Ling Yun Tower because of your uselessness and retardation. Did you really think that she was capable of taking a new-born baby away from Ling Yun Tower?”

“It was Yu Er who purposely handed Ping Yang to Hua Fei. She did that so that I could be reunited with Ping Yang…”

“You’re right. She begged for master’s approval because she wanted Ping Yang to return to Great Xia Dynasty so that you can get your life together. From there on, news got out that Yu Er gave birth to a child. After that happened, even master couldn’t protect Yu Er anymore. In order to prevent the rumours from spreading, master had to…” Qian Ye suddenly shut up when she realised that she had said too much.

“What did she have to do?” Lin Mubai took a step forward, unable to mask his eagerness and desolation anymore.

“She had to…” Qian Ye was hesitating. She appeared to be in pain because she was extremely reluctant to bring this up.

“Mother, mother…” Ping Yang couldn’t wait to hear the truth from Qian Ye either.

At this moment, everywhere in Ling Yun Tower was filled with a depressing vibe. Even Cang Yue and the disciples kneeling on the ground were completely silent.

Everyone seemed to be waiting!

Fang Zhengzhi was waiting just like the rest. He literally did not expect Qian Ye to answer the question that had been bothering him since the beginning.

Although no one knew if she was speaking the truth, but he could at least deduce that Leader Lan was more inclined to make Yu Er the next leader of Ling Yun Tower, rather than Qian Ye.

In that case, no one knew if there were other things or critical information that Qian Ye had purposely left out.

Everyone was depressed and waiting for an answer!

However, that changed when a ray of sunlight fell from the sky.
