Chapter 1142 Deactivated “Huh?” Yong Ye was about to fly into a rage. However, his expression changed after Su Ping spoke. He snorted and said, “You are a mere Star Lord, and yet you have the nerve to call me by my name. Your punishment will be even more severe!” Su Ping sneered. “You’re still not admitting it; what are you trying to cover up? That you conspired with the saints for the legacy?” His voice rumbled like thunder, making the other Celestials change their expressions. The saints were almost taboo in the Federation; not even Celestials would be willing to have conflicts with them. Although the saints were not in the Celestial State, they had knowledge of ancient secrets and all the technologies used in the Federation. Even Celestial experts would have trouble when trying to beat them! “The saints are involved too?” “This kid is truly bold, for having said that; it seems that he’s been truly cornered!” “Hongyue, looks like you were telling the truth.” Many Celestials had glittering eyes; they had been briefed by their respective disciples about the trial’s events. Lin Xiu’s advantage undoubtedly suggested that the saints were involved in the competition. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮 Still, the key had ultimately fallen into Su Ping’s hand, and all the secrets were buried. Even if the Celestials knew the secret, they wouldn’t readily confess. Yong Ye didn’t expect Su Ping to be as bold. He said with a furious tone, “What are you talking about? Shen Huang, your disciple is truly spoiled. He’s blatantly slandering the saints!” “Slandering?” Su Ping was going to stop, but he kept on, seeing that they were too stubborn to admit it, “Lin Xiu had a special treasure that could disable all the other ultimate treasures. He would have certainly gotten the key if he hadn’t met me! “I shattered him into smithereens, but he’s now here in one piece. My guess is that you’re conspiring with Lin Xiu, even though you know his real identity; you’re declaring war on the Federation with an ancient devil!” “You!” Yong Ye was shocked and infuriated. Su Ping was truly bold, daring to say those things. Slandering a Celestial was punishable by death! “Lin Xiu, stop pretending. Or should I call you by your original name, Ye Chen, the ancient devil!” said Su Ping coldly. Lin Xiu gloomily said, “Is this your trump card? You’re just making up things!” Su Ping sneered, and tossed out all the ultimate treasures he had obtained in the first test, including Lin Xiu’s sword plate. “Everybody, your disciples witnessed how Lin Xiu crushed other people and disabled their ultimate treasures with this very sword plate! “It was supposed to be a fair competition, but someone cheated!” The faces of the Celestials changed upon seeing the sword plate and the ultimate treasures. They didn’t expect that Su Ping would have looted that many ultimate treasures, or that he had kept the evidence. “Yong Ye, my disciple was killed because of you!” “Yong Ye, give us an explanation!” “How are you going to answer for my disciple’s life?” All the Celestials stepped out and glared at Yong Ye. They now had valid evidence, and they knew what had happened from their disciples’ reports; naturally, they were no longer being courteous. All of them were furious about the deaths of their disciples, and laid all blame on Yong Ye. “Brat!” Yong Ye wore a contorted expression. He had been hurrying things up in order to annihilate Su Ping and raze the Celestial Court to the ground because he wanted to cover his tracks. However, Su Ping had revealed it all in public, making it impossible for him to defend himself. The original plan was that Lin Xiu would crush and slaughter all the witnesses with that ultimate treasure. However, Su Ping was beyond their expectation! “Humph. Are you taking his word for it? Don’t forget he just tricked you.” Lin Xiu suddenly said coldly, “The sword plate belongs to him. He and his master have been conspiring with the saints, and now they’re trying to blame it on us. What your disciples saw is because he modified their memories after defeating them!” A Celestial State expert stepped out and roared furiously. “Enough. Do you think we’re idiots?” Lin Xiu glanced at him coldly and said, “You’d be a real idiot if you trust him. How could he have defeated him? Just with his triple small worlds? Even though they are powerful, I was invincible with all the ultimate treasures. How could he compare to me?” “Old Monster Ye, you are truly good at tricking people. As expected of an ancient devil,” Su Ping chuckled and said. Lin Xiu stared at Su Ping coldly and replied, “Why don’t you ask the saints to testify?” Su Ping narrowed his eyes and countered, “You’re quite confident. The saints conspired with you; they would surely pretend to be on our side and have the others attack us. The turn for the rest to testify later, after we’re wiped out. Good plan!” “Stop making excuses. You don’t dare to confront them, do you?” roared Lin Xiu. Yong Ye realized what he ought to do. He sneered and continued, “You two have been concocting the scheme. I’m going to finish off the both of you, and then ask the saints about what they did!” The other Celestials frowned in silence. Su Ping glanced at them, and couldn’t help but heave a sigh. “If they want to fight, let’s just fight them,” Shen Huang patted Su Ping’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “The victor always holds the truth. Don’t feel bothered by this.” Su Ping nodded and said, “Master, please take care of that old fart, Yong Ye.” “Haha...” Shen Huang could not help but smile because of Su Ping’s bold ways. There were very few Star Lords in the entire universe who would dare address a Celestial in such a way, but he liked it. “Yong Ye, let’s fight!” Shen Huang glowed like a magnificent god. “You’re cooperating with this ancient devil, even though you know he’s not your disciple. You’ve made yourself an enemy of the universe. The Dark Star Zone will be destroyed after you lose!” “Nonsense!” Yong Ye roared and released a dark domain. The entire sky turned black. However, Shen Huang’s glow was not eclipsed. He rose to the skies and fought Yong Ye. The void was shattered and countless laws fell apart; they marched all the way to the ninth space, from which ancient whispers were spreading out, as if thousands of people were fighting; it was quite the intimidating sight. “Brat, you think you’re safe because you’re under their protection?” Lin Xiu looked down at Su Ping and put on a cold smile. He quickly squeezed his fingers. “Evolution Cauldron, come out!” He activated the three curses on the cauldron, trying to take it back. Inside the store The cauldron woman’s expression changed, showing fear in her eyes; once again, she was reminded of the days when she was dominated again. But a few seconds later, she found that her body wasn’t hurting the way she had expected. Instead, she felt nothing. “Huh?” The cauldron woman was stunned. Lin Xiu-waiting outside the store—was just as stunned. He kept chanting, but nothing happened. He gazed into Su Ping’s store and saw the cauldron woman. He also saw the black curses that tied up her legs. However, the curses seemed to have been sealed, and weren’t activated at all. “What is going on?” Lin Xiu changed his expression; he had planted the three curses to restrain the cauldron. It would be difficult to tame the cauldron without them. “The curses haven’t been activated. Has he forgotten how to do it after his rebirth? Or maybe...” The cauldron woman examined the curses out of puzzlement. She soon thought of the reason, and couldn’t help but look at Su Ping. The old man flashed to where the cauldron woman stood and examined her carefully. Then, he showed astonishment. “The curses have been sealed by a great power...” He didn’t continue. The power had surely originated from the mysterious and powerful being in Su Ping’s store. “Damn it!” Lin Xiu kept activating the curses but nothing happened, which was rather embarrassing. Still, he was too old to feel embarrassed anymore; he was simply exasperated. “I’m giving you one last chance to come back. You know the consequences if you don’t!” Lin Xiu looked fierce, with brutality oozing from his eyes.
