Chapter 796 - A leopard never changes it's spots (2)

Nobody had seen exactly when this figure appeared beside Ye Qingyu. This was simply too unbelievable, for the entire mountain manor had been sealed shut such that even a Great Saint level expert could not enter, and it was even more impossible that someone could show up silently and inconspicuously.
It was as if this person had been standing there all this time, except that nobody had noticed.
Who... exactly is this?
Exchanging glances with another Saint of the Divine Sky Sect beside him, Ao Tianzun felt that things were not looking good and thus he quietly stepped back.
The countenance of the Four Stars holy girl changed dramatically while her eyes revealed an unconcealable horror.
Because, she had already discerned the origin of this person.
"Impossible," she cried out involuntarily, bereft of the composure and steadiness she displayed earlier. Although a silver veil covered her face, one could imagine the kind of shock and panic lying beneath.
"What's so impossible?"
Another voice was heard.
Beside Ye Qingyu, a splendor flickered as the Void undulated, and out from among the silver ripples walked a silver figure which was graceful, voluptuous, yet perfectly slender. It was dressed in purple battle garments and emanated a mysterious and ancient aura.
This was none other than the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.
"You..." The Four Stars holy girl was shocked.
However, before she could continue, another petite and slender black figure walked out from among the Void ripples. This was the Black Demon Race's Little Princess, whose wicked-looking face stared daggers at the holy girl as she sneered, "Bitch, the scores between us shall be settled today."
Meanwhile, as the splendor of the Void ripples continued to flicker endlessly, several more figures walked out. From each of them surged a powerful aura which indicated that they were of Saint-realm cultivation. They consisted of a few experts from the Black Demon Race and guardian Saints of the Phoenix Race.
"Hahaha, brother Ye Qingyu, you calculated so well to use yourself as bait and lure out these creatures. Haha, we've caught that Four Stars bitch and her gang in a trap today. Time to get even." The last person to walk out from the Void ripples was the bald fatty Li Shengyan, who, ever since rescuing [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], had been swaggering like a crab such that he was nearly walking sideways.
In only a twinkling, the disparity of numbers had reversed.
The number of experts on Ye Qingyu's side now completely crushed that of the one’s in the Four Stars holy girl's party.
At this time, some people of the latter party already realized what was going on.
Most importantly, they had guessed the identity of the handsome man in green, jade-like clothes.
By thinking associatively about the circumstances of the wildly spreading battles on the Fierce Beast Peak over the past couple of days, and the perished state of Yang Tianwu, anyone who was rather well-informed already knew about the shocking matter that was [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei's] exit from the 18th district. In this case, they would have to be real silly not to recognize that the young man standing next to Ye Qingyu was none other than the once-invincible Li Xiaofei.
Swish!
The Saint of the Divine Sky Sect was so frightened that his face turned ashen. Without saying a word, he turned into a beam of flowing light and was about to leave...
But the next instant, with a thumping noise, his figure crashed into the seal formation and was sent flying backward.
"How?" He was bewildered.
They'd set up the formation and have brought specially-made formation-breaking runes. Reasonably speaking, there should be no problem passing through the formation. But now... why can't he get out?
The Four Stars holy girl's face turned awkward.
She had already discerned that this formation, which was intended to confine Ye Qingyu, had become a trap to counter-kill her and her contingent instead. The showing up of [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei], who possessed peerless magical ability, had decided the final outcome. He had used his skills to alter the formation such that nobody could escape from within.
Only with his magical ability could a spatial passageway be cut open in just a moment's time. With that, he had easily brought the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, the Little Princess of the Black Demon Race, and the Saints of the two races into the staunchly-protected interior of the mountain manor.
With a complicated expression, she looked at Ye Qingyu.
The young man's methods had caused a chill to form in her heart for the first time.
As suggested by the fat man's words, it seemed that everything was arranged by Ye Qingyu, who long guessed that she would plot against him. After leaving the Fierce Beast Peak, he deliberately traveled alone, so that she would let her guard down and set a trap here. While intending to kill him and take his treasure, she tried to be too clever and instead fell into his trap.
By this time, the situation had completely turned on its head.
Escaping was not an option.
The holy girl knew full well that, even if she used all her trump cards, she certainly could not escape from the hands of a Quasi-emperor. This was why, after recognizing Li Xiaofei, she did not contemplate escaping at all, despite feeling terrified and wretched.
"You..." The holy girl looked at Ye Qingyu and laughed bitterly. "How could you be so sure that I'll turn up to deal with you?"
The latter put on a splendid smile.
"The reason is simple." He looked at the holy girl and said plainly, "Because a leopard never changes its spots."
