Chapter 5139 A Killing Heart
Chapter 5139 A Killing Heart
At this moment, Qin Keqing’s expression turned vicious, and her killing intent couldn’t be more obvious. All eyes were on the confrontation, especially given the Zither Sect’s reputation as one of the four immemorial sects. The spectators were eager to see them fight and gauge the sect’s true strength.
Many could tell that Qin Keqing was jealous of Liao Yuhuang, and perhaps she was about to abuse her position to deal with Liao Yuhuang. Hence, no one blinked as they didn’t want to miss a moment of this tense standoff.
With a calm expression, Liao Yuhuang indifferently said, “Whether I’m strong or weak, or if I am stuck at the fifth level of the Supreme Star Overflow Art, is irrelevant. I am neither interfering in the Brahma Pill Valley’s conflict with the white dragon race nor damaging the relationship between the Zither Sect and the Brahma Pill Valley. My stance is clear: the Zither Sect cannot eat a bloody cake. If the rest of you want to eat it no matter what, you can do it. I am leaving this place and will find somewhere else to undergo tribulation.”
After Liao Yuhuang said this, her fellow Zither Sect’s disciples rallied behind her, clearly approving of her words.
To sacrifice the white dragon race in order to strengthen themselves was unacceptable. While the white dragon race’s deaths wouldn’t be directly caused by them, benefiting from it still made it a bloody cake.
The majority of the Zither Sect’s disciples immediately stood by Liao Yuhuang, expressing their agreement with her viewpoint. Only a few dozen hesitated, glancing between Liao Yuhuang and Qin Keqing. They were unsure of what to do.
Qin Keqing’s expression was icy. At that moment, Li Tianfan laughed. “Fairy Yuhuang is beautiful on the outside and inside. Such character is truly rare, and even more rare is your popularity. It seems like we have the future master of the Zither Sect among us today!”
Long Chen had stealthily slipped into the ranks of dragon experts amidst the commotion. However, his anger immediately flared when he heard this. The Chess Sect fellow was so insidious, stoking the flames of Qin Keqing’s jealousy. He was expertly pushing her buttons, knowing full well how dangerous her jealousy could be.
As expected, Qin Keqing’s expression twisted savagely, and she shouted, “What is this?! Are you all rebelling?! You traitors can die together!”

Her killing intent erupted like a storm. Qi waves exploded outward, forcing the surrounding people to retreat. The next moment, harsh, discordant music filled the air, resonating with her violent aura.
Now’s my chance!
Seizing the moment, Long Chen pretended to be overwhelmed by Qin Keqing’s aura and flew back with everyone else. But his true intention was to move closer to the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone.
As Qin Keqing’s oppressive energy crashed down, countless invisible blades cut through the void, emitting ear-piercing, explosive sounds.
Everyone’s heart shook. Qin Keqing had not even summoned her manifestation, yet the pressure she exerted was already suffocating. If she were to summon it, would the people around not be crushed flat?
The gathered crowds were all strong Heavenly Chosen. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be qualified to enter this place. However, even these elites couldn’t endure Qin Keqing’s aura, shocking them. So this was the power of the legendary four immemorial sects.
Li Tianfan smiled sinisterly, clearly enjoying the discord within the Zither Sect. Lu Fan and the others were also entertained. Since it would take some time to activate the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, they decided to watch the unfolding drama. They were curious to see if the Zither Sect’s disciples truly lived up to their legendary reputation.
“Senior apprentice-sister Keqing, what are you doing?!” shouted Liao Yuhuang. Her expression finally changed as she sensed the bone-chilling killing intent radiating from Qin Keqing. She realized that Qin Keqing was serious about killing her, and shockingly, the rest of the Zither Sect’s disciples as well.
Liao Yuhuang couldn’t comprehend why Qin Keqing had suddenly gone berserk. Her calm nature made it difficult for her to understand just how terrifying a woman’s jealousy could be.
Qin Keqing was an expert from the ancient era. Back then, there had been another genius in the Zither Sect whose talent matched, if not surpassed, her own. This rival was not only gifted but also incredibly diligent, gradually eclipsing Qin Keqing.
Consumed by jealousy, Qin Keqing devised a trap that led to the rival’s death. Although she covered her tracks well, the truth eventually came to light. The fallen genius was a revered figure within the Zither Sect, and her death shook the entire sect.
Once the truth was revealed, the higher-ups of the sect were enraged. They prepared to execute Qin Keqing for her crime, but this decision split the sect into two factions. One faction demanded her execution to uphold the sect’s laws, while the other argued that losing both geniuses would be a devastating blow to the Zither Sect’s future.
The internal conflict grew fierce, threatening to fracture the sect entirely. In the end, a compromise was reached: Qin Keqing was temporarily sealed and forbidden from leaving the sect. The Zither Sect planned to revisit the decision and cast a vote on her fate thirty years later.
After thirty years had passed, the ones set on killing Qin Keqing had calmed down, and then only twenty percent of the votes were cast in favor of her execution.
With this outcome, Qin Keqing’s life was spared. However, those who still harbored resentment toward her demanded that they never see her again. As a result, she remained sealed until this era.
When Qin Keqing was finally unsealed, the dark secret from her past was only revealed to the current sect master. Recognizing her talent, the sect master chose not to disclose this information to anyone else. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Qin Keqing’s jealousy of Liao Yuhuang had been simmering beneath the surface, and seeing so many fellow disciples rally behind Liao Yuhuang only intensified it. It reminded her of the scene from her past. To make things worse, Li Tianfan just had to pour a barrel of gunpowder into her flames.
Staring at Liao Yuhuang, Qin Keqing felt like she was seeing the ghost of her dead rival from long ago. The idea that Liao Yuhuang might be the reincarnation of that genius pushed her over the edge, and her killing intent erupted uncontrollably.
“Senior apprentice-sister Keqing, cool your head. The rest of you can continue your tribulation. We’ll walk our own path. There’s no need for us to fight to the death,” said Liao Yuhuang, trying to reason with a crazy bitch.
“Slut, shut your mouth! You will definitely die at my hand today! No one can save you!” Qin Keqing snarled. The space behind her contracted, and the world started to quiver under the weight of her power.
“You should think about how to save yourself instead!”
When this lazy voice rang out, Lu Fan, Netherdragon Wushang, Luo Yujiao, Huang Wudao, and the others jumped. They quickly turned to look at the Heavenly Flame Sourcestone, where they found Long Chen sitting there, smiling at them. A deathly silence fell over the scene.
