Situ Rong stopped moving, and then he turned around to look at Murong Yao as he said in a cold voice, “Murong Yao, I know that there’s something between you and Tang Ye, but don’t forget that Tang Ye almost caused our Sword Sect to become everyone’s enemy! He’s clearly able to control King Rank Darkbeasts yet refuses to hand the method over, causing us humans to lose miserably in the battle with Darkbeasts. You still intend to protect such a selfish person?” Murong Yao revealed undisguised disdain and ridicule on her face as she said, “Situ Rong, it looks to me like you’re afraid that Tang Ye would threaten your position in the sect, right? Indeed, with the potential and strength that Tang Ye revealed, it wouldn’t take long for him to surpass you, Situ Rong! It’s even to the extent that his accomplishments during the second round of the Ascension Rankings would be superior to yours. Coupled with the fact that there was existing enmity between the two of you, so you want to send him to his death. I really understand all of this, but I truly look down upon you because you insist on assuming such dignified and honorable airs while abusing your position to avenge a private grudge!” Situ Rong’s expression changed while killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, “Murong Yao, don’t think that I wouldn’t dare to kill you!” Murong Yao laughed coldly and said, “Situ Rong, truthfully speaking, I couldn’t stand the sight of you since a very long time ago. If it wasn’t for the sake of the Sword Sect’s ranking on the Ascension Rankings, I would truly want to kill you right now!” “You?” Situ Rong spoke with disdain and said, “Murong Yao, I admit that both you and Tang Ye possess extremely great potential. But so what about that? Both of you’re either at the seventh rank of the First Heaven Realm or at the second rank of the First Heaven Realm, whereas, I’m at the ninth rank of the First Heaven Realm. Moreover, I’ve successfully cultivated an Earth Rank sword technique of the Sword Sect. So, what qualifications and strength do the two of you have to challenge me?” Murong Yao shook her head and didn’t speak further. After that, she turned and left. There was no common ground for understanding between people of differing principles. She truly didn’t want to stay with Situ Rong and the others anymore! As he watched Murong Yao turn around and leave, a cold glow flashed in Situ Rong’s eyes. In the next moment, he slashed at her with the sword in his hand, causing a snow white strand of sword qi to whistle sharply through the air as it shot violently towards Murong Yao. After a moment of hesitation, Situ Rong had chosen to attack in the end. Amongst the younger generation of the Sword Sect, only Tang Ye and Murong Yao were capable of posing a threat to him, and if he eliminated the two of them, then he would be the number one expert in the Sword Sect’s younger generation in the future! Of course, most importantly, Murong Yao knew everything he’d done to Tang Ye while on Ascension Mountain Range. He knew that what he’d done to Tang Ye on Ascension Mountain Range wasn’t really honorable. If Murong Yao sent news of this back to the Sword Sect, then the higher-ups of the Sword Sect would definitely have a bad impression of him. So, Murong Yao had to die! When she sensed the sword qi that assaulted her from behind, the expression on Murong Yao’s pretty face changed slightly, and she swiftly turned around while her wrist spun, causing the sword in her hand to slash over swiftly. No, it should be said that it slashed over numerous times. Because in this very instant, Murong Yao had slashed at least 10 times, but it looked like a single strike due to the fact that her speed was too swift! Hiss! Her sword directly dispersed Situ Rong’s sword qi, and then she pointed her sword at Situ Rong while she said, “Situ Rong, are you looking for death by attacking a fellow disciple?” Situ Rong’s eyelids twitched when he saw Murong Yao disperse his sword qi. He’d never fought Murong Yao in the past, so he’d only possessed a rough estimation of her strength until now. But now it would seem like he’d clearly underestimated her strength a little. He was confident in his ability to defeat Murong Yao, but he wasn’t confident in his ability to kill her. He took a deep breath, gazed at the few disciples of the Sword Sect who stood by his side, and then he said, “Attack together and kill her!” All of them were his trusted ‘friends’, so he didn’t have to worry at all. Those disciples exchanged glances before they stopped hesitating, and then they withdrew their swords and pointed them at Murong Yao. In the Sword Sect, one had to take sides as well. If one took the right side, then one’s days in the future would naturally be comfortable, yet if one took the wrong side, then the consequences were obvious. At this moment, they’d chosen to stand by Situ Rong’s side because he was at the ninth rank of the First Heaven Realm!
