Chapter 814: This Madman Wants to Cripple Princess Ji Ruxue

"Madman! He is a total madman!"

"Too terrifying… This Ye Wudao, he is simply too ruthless!"

"You can provoke anyone, but you absolutely cannot provoke him!"

The young Cultivators watching the battle turned pale one by one, their gazes filled with fear as they looked at Ye Wudao.

They were even somewhat relieved that they had been eliminated early, and grateful that they hadn't provoked Ye Wudao during the qualifying rounds.

Otherwise, even if their current fate wasn't as miserable as Princess Ji Ruxue's, it wouldn't be much better.

However, the powerful experts watching the battle were quite calm about this.

It wasn't their Disciple or offspring being tortured, so why should they be anxious?

Furthermore, since Princess Ji Ruxue dared to do such a thing, she had to bear the corresponding consequences.

Anyone with common sense knows such a simple truth.

What they were more concerned about now was actually that nine-story pagoda of Ye Wudao's.

What kind of treasure was it, exactly?

And could they manage to get their hands on it?

Among the many experts, only one person was trembling with rage.

That person was, naturally, the Queen of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, Queen Ji Yu!

Watching her own daughter have her wrist crushed and be subjected to such torture, Queen Ji Yu was completely losing her composure.

Her beautiful Face was twisted and distorted by extreme rage as she shrieked, "Ye Wudao! How dare you!"

Amidst her roar, she suddenly stood up and raised her hand to attack the arena.

At this moment, she was even more desperate than Elder Yin Changhong had been earlier.

Elder Yin Changhong had at least questioned him before taking action, but she was charging forward recklessly.

After all, Princess Ji Ruxue was her own daughter.

However, the moment she moved.

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, pinning her firmly in place, unable to move.

Venerable Tianji's indifferent voice sounded once again, saying, "No one has conceded, and the challenge has not yet ended. No one is allowed to interfere."

This time, there was a trace of obvious dissatisfaction in his voice.

Having Ye Wudao try to attack the arena's Formation had already caused Venerable Tianji to lose a great deal of Face.

How could he allow anyone else to continue challenging his authority now?

Furthermore, Venerable Tianji was also coveting Ye Wudao's nine-story pagoda.

He hadn't yet decided how to deal with Ye Wudao, but he understood one thing: he needed to establish the right attitude first and not let Ye Wudao become wary of him.

In any case, Ye Wudao hadn't violated the rules by killing Princess Ji Ruxue directly, so Venerable Tianji was perfectly justified in intervening.

Queen Ji Yu was suppressed by Venerable Tianji's pressure and was instantly unable to move.

This feeling of powerlessness was truly infuriating.

Daring not to confront Venerable Tianji directly, she could only turn her head sharply, looking at Elder Yin Changhong with extreme resentment, and gritted her teeth as she growled, "Elder Yin Changhong! This is the fine Disciple you've taught!"

"He is clearly taking revenge!"

"As his Master, why aren't you stopping him immediately?!"

Unfortunately, facing Queen Ji Yu's threats, Elder Yin Changhong remained completely composed.

He even glanced at Princess Ji Ruxue on the arena with interest before speaking slowly.

"Queen Ji, that is incorrect."

Mimicking Queen Ji Yu's tone from earlier, he said unhurriedly, "On the arena, swords have no eyes, and injuries are inevitable."

"If you can't even bear this small risk, why did you come to participate in the Prodigy Ranking Tournament?"

"Your daughter's skills are inferior to others; are you going to blame my Disciple for striking too hard?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Ji Yu's Face instantly turned green!

Because she remembered clearly that these were the exact words she had used to dismiss Elder Yin Changhong earlier.

Now, Elder Yin Changhong had returned them to her exactly as they were!

This resounding boomerang had struck Princess Ji Ruxue right in the forehead!

"You!"

Queen Ji Yu cursed loudly, completely losing her composure!

At this moment, Elder Yin Changhong glanced at her again and said, "Or perhaps, you are the type who allows yourself to set fires but forbids others from lighting lamps, wanting to take double standards to the extreme?"

"Or, you could go save your daughter; I won't stop you anyway."

The term "double standards" was something Elder Yin Changhong had heard Ye Wudao mention while they were chatting.

He felt that this term was perfectly applicable to Queen Ji Yu at this moment.

As for the suggestion that Queen Ji Yu attack directly, Elder Yin Changhong was also deliberately provoking her.

Because he knew that Queen Ji Yu wouldn't dare.

Queen Ji Yu indeed did not dare.

With the Formation blocking the arena, she couldn't do anything to Ye Wudao at all.

If she wanted to stop Ye Wudao, she would have to do the same thing Ye Wudao had done earlier: withstand the pressure of Venerable Tianji's intervention and break through the Formation.

Although she had the strength to destroy the Formation, she did not have the strength to resist Venerable Tianji.

She didn't have that strange nine-story pagoda of Ye Wudao's!

The more Queen Ji Yu thought about it, the angrier she became; her vision swam, and she nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

As the dignified Queen of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

Yet, unfortunately, she was truly helpless right now!

With no other choice, Queen Ji Yu could only temporarily suppress all her hatred.

Her fire-breathing phoenix eyes darted back and forth between Ye Wudao and Elder Yin Changhong.

If rage could manifest into physical form, this fury would likely have hacked Elder Yin Changhong and Ye Wudao into thousands of pieces.

Seeing that she had indeed quieted down, Elder Yin Changhong scoffed inwardly, knowing it would turn out this way.

He ignored Queen Ji Yu and turned to look at Yue Liuli, saying, "Liuli, watch carefully, and see how Wudao vents your anger for you."

"Do not think that Wudao is being cruel."

Hearing this, Yue Liuli smiled and said, "Master, how could I think that what Wudao is doing is wrong?"

"On the contrary, I think what he is doing is wonderful."

Yue Liuli was never the type to be a pushover; she was always warm and considerate toward her own people, while never showing any courtesy to outsiders.

Princess Ji Ruxue was not only an outsider but also an enemy, and she had hurt her so much; even if Yue Liuli's head were kicked by donkey hooves a hundred times, she would never think that what Ye Wudao was doing was wrong.

She would only think that Ye Wudao was amazing.

Furthermore, what she was worried about now was no longer Princess Ji Ruxue's situation, but something else.

"Master, that small pagoda that Ye Wudao just summoned…"

A look of gravity appeared in Yue Liuli's eyes as she transmitted her voice to Elder Yin Changhong, saying, "Will it bring him any trouble?"

Elder Yin Changhong shook his head and replied via voice transmission, "It shouldn't for the time being."

"In public view, these people won't easily make a move, because once they do, they give others a reason."

"But after the Prodigy Ranking Tournament, it's hard to say."

As he spoke, fearing that Yue Liuli was too worried, he added, "However, rest assured, with Elders Cheng and Li, as well as this Master here, we should be able to protect Ye Wudao on the way back."

Yue Liuli knew that her Master was trying to comfort her, and she also knew that this was not the time to discuss this further, so she could only frown and say nothing more.
