Chapter 1273: Chapter 1175: The Position of Palace Master
Yang Tian turned his head to look at Hua Yueyue, and upon seeing the line of tears on her face, his heart ached, and he tightly held Hua Yueyue in his arms.
Hua Yueyue appeared somewhat emotional, and she kept murmuring, "Yang Tian, I want to..."
Yang Tian quickly picked up Hua Yueyue and walked into the room.
An hour later, Hua Yueyue was lying peacefully in Yang Tian’s arms, and Yang Tian took the opportunity to recover the Mana he had exhausted during the fight today by sleeping.
It was now eight o’clock in the evening, and at midnight, he still needed to meet with four elders.
However, Yang Tian did not notice that as he fell asleep, Hua Yueyue suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Yang Tian with cold murderous intent.
She gently struggled with her hand, and a dagger appeared. She whispered, "Yang Tian, don’t blame me, blame yourself!"
With those words, she heavily stabbed the dagger towards Yang Tian’s chest.
Although Yang Tian was asleep, the Nuwa Divine Technique in his body continued to operate, rotating continuously according to the Thirty-Six Minor Circulations and the Seventy-Two Great Circulations.
As danger approached, the Nuwa Divine Technique surged out abruptly.
Bang!
A resonant boom.
The dagger in Hua Yueyue’s hand was heavily jolted and flew out.
Yang Tian turned over and sat up, looking at Hua Yueyue with a surprised expression: "Yueyue, what are you doing!"
Hua Yueyue did not expect Yang Tian to be able to deflect the dagger out of her hand. Seeing that her murderous act was exposed, she coldly said, "Yang Tian, I’ve thought about it, I cannot let you inherit everything from Yihua Palace! Yihua Palace belongs to me, and since my father is dead, it should be inherited by me!"
With these words, Hua Yueyue charged at him again.
She thought to herself that Yang Tian had just exerted himself for an hour, and he fought a match today, so he should be exhausted. She wanted to strike at this moment when Yang Tian was weak.
"Heavenly Fury Divine Palm!"
Hua Yueyue charged forward, aiming a palm strike at Yang Tian’s head.
Yang Tian frowned.
This Hua Yueyue, pretending to be pitiful and sad, was actually a venomous woman with a heart of a scorpion.
Such a woman, what good is there to keep her around?!
Yang Tian reached out and shattered the Heavenly Fury Divine Palm she struck with, and with a flip of his hand, he struck her heavily with the Nuwa Divine Palm.
Bang!
Hua Yueyue was struck heavily and flew out, crashing into the wall with a bang.
She quickly got up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and coldly said, "Yang Tian, you are not qualified to become the Palace Master of Yihua Palace, I am Hua Tiandu’s daughter!"
Yang Tian laughed coldly, "I am not interested in the position of Yihua Palace Master, if you want it, just say so, is there a need for an ambush?"
"The entire Yihua Palace is pinning their hopes on you, they are eager for you to become the Palace Master, only by killing you can I dispel everyone’s thoughts!"
With those words, Hua Yueyue charged again.
This time, she unleashed the Divine Martial Arts that only a core disciple of Yihua Palace could cultivate: Ten Thousand Flowers Return to the Sect!
This Ten Thousand Flowers Return to the Sect, Yang Tian had seen it before.
Its power is more terrifying than the Divine Martial Arts of other disciples, but Hua Yueyue ultimately had not cultivated the Nuwa Divine Technique, so her attack appeared insignificant in Yang Tian’s eyes.
"Kneel!"
Yang Tian activated Nuwa’s Divine Breath, gently wiping away the Divine Martial Art Hua Yueyue attacked with, and then he merely tapped Hua Yueyue’s shoulder, causing her to kneel on the ground.
"You have long been mine, I becoming the Palace Master of Yihua Palace would naturally not mistreat you!"
Yang Tian said in a deep voice.
"Bah, I don’t want it! Yang Tian, you are close with the Drunkard, if I’m not mistaken, you should be the Drunkard’s disciple, the Nuwa Divine Technique you practiced was taught by the Drunkard!" Hua Yueyue was not foolish: "The Drunkard was the enemy of my father, you are the most likely suspect in his death!"
Yang Tian laughed coldly, "Stubborn!"
With a wave of his hand, a Soul Divine Talisman flew out, landing on Hua Yueyue.
Yang Tian reached out and conjured a Spirit Sword formed by Divine Breath, striking Hua Yueyue’s body four times.
Sparkle and crackle!
Instantly, Hua Yueyue’s entire body became sealed, Yang Tian’s Soul Divine Talisman penetrated deep into Hua Yueyue’s soul, only to discover that another Soul Divine Talisman had already been sealed on her soul.
"Oh? You were being controlled?"
Yang Tian’s eyes lit up.
Turns out, Hua Yueyue tried to kill Yang Tian not out of her own volition?
Then who controlled Hua Yueyue?
Yang Tian activated the Nuwa Divine Technique, and in an instant, tore off the Divine Talisman deep in Hua Yueyue’s soul. With one look, he sensed the remnants and residual thoughts of Hua Tiandu within the talisman.
"Was it Hua Tiandu who instructed you to kill me?"
Yang Tian said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Hua Yueyue was cold all over, unable to answer Yang Tian’s question, as she was being swallowed by the Divine Breath in the air and was in danger of losing her life at any moment.
Yang Tian took out silver needles, pressing several critical acupuncture points on Hua Yueyue, sealing the chaotic Divine Breath in her body.
"Hua Tiandu, you made a bet with me, but your intent was not pure, doing you wish to send someone to spy on me?" Yang Tian said coldly, "But you miscalculated! Even you were not my match, what power does your daughter have?"
"Yang Tian, I..."
Hua Yueyue wanted to say something, but the drowsiness surged within her and she fell asleep.
Yang Tian placed Hua Yueyue onto the bed, covering her with a quilt, then swiftly went out. It was already midnight, and he needed to meet those four elders.
As for Hua Yueyue, Yang Tian had already removed the Soul Divine Talisman from deep within her soul, allowing her rest to regain clarity.
Yang Tian walked out of the hotel and returned to Yihua Palace.
As he landed, a middle-aged man greeted him respectfully: "Yang Tian, the four elders have been waiting for you in the back mountain for quite some time!"
Yang Tian nodded and flew towards the back mountain.
The four elders, whose strength surpassed Hua Tiandu, were outer disciples of the Divine Luo Sect. Fifty years ago, they were taken in by the Palace Master of Yihua Palace to become the four Guardian Elders of the palace.
They often come forward to assume responsibility during perilous times for the Palace Master.
With Hua Tiandu dead, they emerged from seclusion to choose Yang Tian as the new Palace Master.
Yang Tian was also determined to obtain this position as Palace Master, after all, he had promised the Drunkard to reclaim what belonged to him.
"The position of Yihua Palace Master should be held by the Drunkard!"
Yang Tian thought to himself.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, Yang Tian quickly arrived at the back mountain, but soon, he frowned because he felt a chill wind swirling within the mountain.
"Yang Tian, you have arrived!"
The four elders hovered atop the four mountain peaks, opening their eyes filled with fierce brilliance upon seeing Yang Tian.
Yang Tian laughed coldly, "I suppose you deliberately brought me here, not to make me the next Palace Master of Yihua Palace?"
"The Chiyou Celestial God has informed us of everything. Master Hua was killed by you, we must eliminate you!"
The four elders shouted harshly and flew up towards Yang Tian...
