Ye Zhen's smile became even colder as he replied: "Because she dares to hire assassins to kill my goddess!"
Elder Yang frowned while trying to say something to convince Ye Zhen: "Rongrong hire assassins to kill someone? Could you be wrong? With Rongrong's status in Immortal Sword Sect, she did not need to hire assassins if she wanted to kill anyone. Any disciples or elders in Immortal Sword Sect will gladly do it to please her."
But Ye Zhen shook his head and said: "It's impossible for me to be wrong because..."
Several other black ghosts suddenly flew out from the cemetery ground.
These several black ghosts were surprisingly the assassins who tried to kill Tang Li Xue before.
What was even more surprising was that one of these several black ghosts was actually Rongrong's previous maid, Susu!
Several assassin ghosts began to point their finger at Susu and scolded her: "It's her, Master! She was the one who hired us to kill that girl!"
Susu's ghost got frightened, and she immediately shook her head while denying it: "No, it's not me! I only do what my mistress told me to do!"
When Susu's ghost saw the fainted Rongrong, she flew excitedly toward Rongrong and said: "Young Miss, please help me! Please tell them that you are the one who sent me to hire them!"
Ye Zhen waved his hand while leisurely saying: "All right, that is enough. Be quiet all of you!"
All of the ghosts instantly fell silent and lined up neatly beside Ye Zhen as if they were completely controlled by Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen stared at Elder Yang again with the usual creepy cold smile on his pale handsome face and said: "Teacher, now you understand, right? I know this girl is your fiancé, but she is definitely not a good person. If I do not do anything, my goddess's life might be in danger in the future..."
Elder Yang interrupted Ye Zhen's speech halfway by stating: "You do not need to worry about that. I will tell Rongrong to revoke the bounty to kill your... goddess, and I will also tell her to never touch your goddess anymore from now on. How about it?"
Unfortunately, Ye Zhen immediately shook his head to reject Elder Yang's idea.
"I am really sorry, Teacher. But there is no guarantee that your fiancé would listen to your words." Ye Zhen replied to Elder Yang as he grabbed Rongrong's neck and raised her up.
Ye Zhen gnashed his teeth as he shouted to Ye Zhen and tried to scare him: "Stop it~! Do you really know the consequence of killing her? She is the favorite great-granddaughter of Immortal Sword Sect's old patriarch!"
"If you dare to kill her, you will not only be hunted by the Immortal Sword Sect, but they will surely put a high bounty for capturing and killing you. The entire cultivators in this Lightwind Continent would be your enemies! No matter where you hide or run, there will be many people who will hunt you down!" Elder Yang warned Ye Zhen in a stern tone.
But after hearing Elder Yang's stern warning, Ye Zhen did not get scared but laughed maniacally instead: "Pffft~! Ahahahahahaha~! So what?! Teacher, do you really think I am afraid of dying right now?!"
"I should have already died after leaving the Inheritance Ground Tablet. I am still alive right now because my goddess gave me a new life." Ye Zhen stated to Elder Yang in a cheerful tone as if he narrated the most exciting thing in his life.
But Ye Zhen immediately corrected it while grinning creepily at Elder Yang: "No~! It can be said that the old Ye Zhen is already died. The current me is no longer Ye Zhen. My name is Death Lord right now, and I will definitely protect my goddess regardless of the cost!"
Elder Yang sighed in disappointment at Ye Zhen's attitude, and he scolded Ye Zhen coldly: "Ye Zhen, you are already insane. That goddess of yours might be an evil demon, and she should have already brainwashed your mind to become like this."
If Tang Li Xue heard Elder Yang's words right now, she might punch him once more in anger and scold him in a greater rage: 'What do you mean I am an evil demon?! I am clearly a stunning and charming fox goddess, okay?!'
Fortunately for Elder Yang, Tang Li Xue was no longer there...
"Shut up~! Even though you are my former teacher, I would never allow you to bad-mouth my goddess!" Ye Zhen shouted back at Elder Yang in anger.
Ye Zhen did not want to talk with Elder Yang anymore as he glared at the fainted Rongrong with menacing eyes.
Elder Yang realized that it would be impossible for him to convince Ye Zhen since he seemed to have already completely lost his mind right now.
Of course, all of Elder Yang's previous talks with Ye Zhen were actually not in vain.
It was Elder Yang's way to stall for more time, so Tang Li Xue's [Talisman of Regeneration] and [Talisman of Lesser Recovery] could heal more of his injuries.
Even though all of Elder Yang's injuries still had not completely recovered, but he could already at least exert around 25% of his overall strength.
Elder Yang dashed swiftly toward Ye Zhen to grab Rongrong back all of a sudden, but Ye Zhen had already long prepared for that.
Several skeleton hands popped out from the cemetery ground and grabbed at Elder Yang's feet tightly!
"Get off from me~!" Elder Yang angrily bellowed as he used his strength to break free from all of the skeleton hands and kicked them away.
But several dozens of black ghosts already completely surrounded Elder Yang and rushed toward him from all sides!
