Chapter 80 – Life and Death Arena? (1/2)

This familiar voice belonged to none other than Qingxue who’d invited him to join her group in the outer court that day. At this moment, Qingxue had a livid expression on her face while she argued with a man that stood before her. Moreover, there were respectively a few tens of outer court disciples standing behind Qingxue and this man.

Yang Ye didn’t know this man that was arguing with Qingxue. However, Yang Ye knew another man that stood by that man’s side and was pointing at Qingxue while speaking in an intense manner because this person was precisely Jiang Yuan who’d entered into conflict with him on that day.

Yang Ye hesitated for a moment before he walked over.

Yang Ye had just arrived behind all of them when he heard Jiang Yuan speak fiercely. “Qingxue, I’ll give you one last chance. Lead all of your members and join my group or dismiss your group. Otherwise, there’ll be no place for you in the Sword Sect in the future.”

Jiang Yuan had been covetous towards Qingxue’s group for a long time. Amongst all the new small groups that were established in the outer court, only Qingxue’s group had the strength to go against his group. So long as he made this group join his own, then once the older batch of outer court disciples and those geniuses on the Outer Court Rankings became inner court disciples, he would control the outer court.

Qingxue paid no attention to Jiang Yuan, and she gazed at that man by Jiang Yuan’s side instead while a wisp of fear flashed in her eyes. She said in a low voice, “Senior Brother Jang Wen, you’re an expert on the Outer Court Rankings and a senior amongst outer court disciples. Could it be that you’re interested in these small scale arguments between our small groups?”

The young man called Jang Wen smiled and said, “Junior Sister Qingxue, even you’re aware that even though I’m only ranked at the 26th position on the Outer Court Rankings, it wouldn’t be difficult for me to become an inner court disciple during the Inner Court Exam two months from now.”

“Then why has Senior Brother Jang come here with Jiang Yuan to oppress Junior Sister?” Qingxue was puzzled.

Jang Wen sized up Qingxue with his gaze, and then he said, “Junior Sister Qingxue, I’m not interested in these small scale arguments between your groups, and I’m only interested in you. So long as you’re willing to become my Dao Companion, then it wouldn’t be anything difficult even if you ask me to subdue all the other small groups!”

He wasn’t bragging because all the strong senior outer court disciples were basically working hard for the exam that would begin in two months, and those disciples wouldn’t be interested in these small groups. So, if he made a move against them, then he would absolutely be like the autumn wind that swept away the dry leaves.

Jiang Yuan’s expression hanged when he heard Jang Wen. He’d paid a huge price in order to make this expert from the Outer Court Ranking help him, and he was originally hoping that Jang Wen would help him unify all the new disciples in the outer court. However, never had he imagined that Jang Wen would actually intend to go back on his word for a woman.

On the other hand, all the outer court disciples behind Qingxue were filled with righteous indignation, and they glared angrily at Jang Wen. If they weren’t afraid of him because he was ranked on the Outer Court Rankings, they would have charged over a long time ago.

Jang Wen seemed as if he didn’t notice their furious expressions at all, and he just continued sizing Qingxue up. He’d originally intended to help Jiang Yuan deal with this small group, but he’s immediately changed his mind when he saw Qingxue. There were very few female disciples in the Sword Sect, and those that were so beautiful were even rarer. So, his heart was moved since the instant he laid eyes upon her.

Qingxue’s expression was extremely gloomy, and then a wisp of a ridiculing smile arose on the corners of her mouth as she gazed at Jang Wen. “This is the bearing of an expert on the Outer Court Rankings? It’s truly inferior to a lowly villain in a town. You’re actually forcing others to become your Dao Companion. How shameful and disgusting! It looks to me like you’re even inferior to Jiang Yuan. At the very least, he isn’t despicable to such an extent!”

“How satisfying!” said Jiang Yuan in his heart. Compared to Qingxue, he hated this expert by his side even more. Indeed, anyone that paid money to get help yet found out their help intended to a.s.sist the enemy would feel displeased.

Jang Wen’s eyes narrowed, and then a cold glow flashed within them. He said, “Junior Sister Qingxue, you have to take responsibility for what you said. Besides that, Senior Brother isn’t forcing you. Senior Brother only said that I hope you’ll be my Dao Companion, yet you humiliated me. So, you have to either apologize to me or accept my challenge. Right, a challenge at the Life and Death Arena!”

When they heard Jang Wen, the group behind Qingxue exploded into an expanse of clamorous noise. After that, when they recovered from their hearts, they instantly started cursing in their hearts about how shameless Jang Wen was. Even some of the disciples behind Jiang Yuan revealed expressions of detest towards Jang Wen. Because Jang Wen was a dignified outer court disciple on the Outer Court Ranking, yet he’d actually challenged a new outer court disciple, and he even wanted to challenge that disciple on the Life and Death Arena. This was truly too shameless!

Qingxue’s expression was livid. She’d never expected that Jang Wen would actually be so shameless. Apologize? That was absolutely impossible! Yet if she accepted his challenge and went to the Life and Death Arena, then even if Jang Wen didn’t kill her, he would probably humiliate her to his heart’s content.

Of course, she could choose to refuse his challenge. But she couldn’t. Because this group of hers had just been established, and if she shrunk back from battle, then she could dream of being able to recruit anyone else in the Sword Sect after that.

Right when Qingxue was in a difficult position, a voice suddenly resounded. “I’ll accept your challenge on her behalf!”

When they heard this voice, everyone was shocked. Jiang Yuan and Jang Wen frowned while Qingxue was delighted in her heart instead because this voice belonged to Yang Ye.

Everyone looked over to the source of the voice, and they exploded into an uproar when they noticed it was Yang Ye.

“It’s Yang Ye! It’s actually him! Haha! There’s a show to watch now!”
