Chapter 37: Ning Ye, who knows everything; her murderous intent boils!
"Indeed!"
When Ning Ye heard Jun Qianyue reveal one of her strongest trump cards, he didn't feel surprised or panicked; instead, he was excited.
Because he knew that in the late stage of Against the Nine Heavens, Jun Qianyue had also been searching for the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber.
The most important reason for this was that in the original storyline of Against the Nine Heavens, Jun Qianyue knew the method to unseal the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber from the very beginning, and she also knew its power, which was why she was so persistent!
Now, with him standing before her, she could inexplicably sense the presence of the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber, which seemed to further prove this point!
"The Heavenly Saber is in my hand!"
Ning Ye nodded. By now, Jun Qianyue already knew, so there was no need to hide it anymore. He might as well admit it openly.
"Heh heh!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Jun Qianyue's stunningly cold and beautiful face grew even wider.
"What, you want to snatch it?"
Ning Ye asked impolitely.
"No need!"
Jun Qianyue shook her head, then spoke meaningfully.
"Now that you have obtained the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber, it means your bloodline and potential have been recognized by it!"
"So, feeling regret is real!"
"Snatching it? There's no need, and it's meaningless now!"
"After all... when life perishes, the saber shatters!"
Hearing this, Ning Ye didn't question it.
Because, just as Jun Qianyue said, the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber had already recognized him as its master. Even she couldn't snatch it away, and even if she killed him, it would be useless!
But the question arose: if Jun Qianyue wasn't after the Reverse Moon Heavenly Saber, then what was she after?
"Miss Jun, why did you dispatch three thousand Divine Strategy Iron Cavalry to Tianmen Pass?"
Ning Ye asked the question he most wanted to know at that moment. He wanted to confirm whether Jun Qianyue's objective was the same as what he thought.
"Heh heh!"
Jun Qianyue chuckled upon hearing this, then asked back with interest.
"Then, Prince, you clearly like Goddess Luo Jia, so why did you accept that marriage contract with This Young Lady?"
Hearing this, Ning Ye paused for a moment, then replied.
"Since you know I was afflicted with the Soul Devour Curse when I was seventeen..."
"Then you should also know why I chose to leave the Yan Yun Dynasty, right?"
"Hmm!"
Jun Qianyue nodded and teased.
"It seems the Prince is not the naive and innocent person of legend after all!"
"You also know... you were set up!"
"And the one who set you up is Goddess Luo Jia!"
"Are you trying to escape Yan Yun by means of a marriage contract?"
"That's right!"
Ning Ye neither confirmed nor denied Jun Qianyue's words.
However!
Jun Qianyue paused, then suddenly changed the subject.
"It seems there's more to it than that!"
"Hmm!"
Ning Ye hummed softly, then said:
"Some debts!"
"I have to settle them myself!"
"Some people, I have to kill them myself!"
"Whether it's Luo Jia or others!"
"Others?"
Jun Qianyue heard this keyword, and the smile on her stunningly cold and beautiful face grew even wider by three points.
"What?"
"The person you mentioned... could it be the Emperor of Yan Yun, Yan Xiaoyao?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Ye couldn't help but fall silent, thinking to himself that Jun Qianyue, with a silk scarf covering her eyes, had lost her sight, just like he once did...
But unlike him, she now possessed a sealed Eye of the Heavenly Dao, making her seemingly omniscient, seeing and knowing even more!
"Yes!"
Ning Ye didn't hide it. His meeting with Jun Qianyue today was a truth-telling session; there was nothing left to conceal.
"Hmph!"
Jun Qianyue snorted lightly upon hearing this, saying:
"I have to say!"
"Prince!"
"You have quite the nerve!"
"Heh!"
Ning Ye couldn't help but laugh mockingly upon hearing this.
"Miss Jun's nerve is not small either!"
"Oh?"
Jun Qianyue raised an eyebrow and asked with interest.
"I wonder, where does the Prince's remark come from?"
The crucial moment had arrived!
A faint glimmer flashed in Ning Ye's eyes. He took a deep breath, then deepened his tone and spoke in a low voice.
"Miss Jun!"
"To be honest!"
"I also know a little about your affairs!"
"Therefore, I have to say your courage is truly great!"
"Tell me!"
Jun Qianyue picked up her teacup and took a sip of clear tea. She was curious about what Ning Ye knew about her.
"At nine years old, you first stepped onto the battlefield, breaking through a thousand armies with a single sword!"
"At ten years old, you stole the Rakshasa Banner from Rakshasa Manor!"
"At eleven, you were hunted by Rakshasa Manor, but at twelve, you single-handedly annihilated Rakshasa Manor!"
"At thirteen, you went to the Nine Heavens Holy City, drew out the Holy Sword, but then put it back, infuriating those old geezers in the Holy City, which became the talk of the entire continent!"
"At fourteen, you disregarded the entire Jun Family's objections and resolutely went to the Great Wall of Despair, training for three years!"
"At seventeen, you returned from the Great Wall of Despair, your eyes were blind... but you became the Junlin Dynasty's youngest Grand General!"
Ning Ye recounted Jun Qianyue's glorious past achievements as if listing family treasures.
"Ha ha ha!"
Jun Qianyue couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. She shook her head and spoke with great disdain and mockery.
"Prince."
"These things are well-known throughout the Nine Heavens Continent."
"Knowing only this, you can't say you understand me!"
"Hmm!"
Ning Ye nodded noncommittally, then continued to add.
"These things are indeed well-known!"
"But what I want to say is... at fourteen, when you went outside the Great Wall of Despair, you seemed to have met someone!"
"And obtained something, or rather, a legacy!"
"Am I right?"
"Oh?"
Jun Qianyue put down her teacup, her interest piqued.
"I guess... outside the Great Wall of Despair, you met your elder sister, Jun Wulei!"
"I guess... your elder sister told you some extraordinary things!"
"I guess... your eyes aren't blind, but rather, because you obtained the legacy of the sealed Eye of the Heavenly Dao... you temporarily lost your sight!"
Ning Ye said these three sentences with a smile.
And the moment his words fell...
Ning Ye saw the playful smile on Jun Qianyue's stunningly cold and beautiful face disappear, replaced by an ancient, unyielding chill. Jun Qianyue's heart was in turmoil!
In Against the Nine Heavens, the first CG scene about Jun Qianyue was when the fourteen-year-old Jun Qianyue met the missing Eldest Young Miss of the Jun Family, Jun Wulei.
Jun Wulei told Jun Qianyue some things, which later led to Jun Qianyue overthrowing the Junlin Dynasty and embarking step by step on the path of a great villain conquering the Nine Heavens World!
As for... what was said, no one knew, but many high-level players of Against the Nine Heavens speculated that it might be related to the two sisters' origins or their most mysterious mother!
And the Eye of the Heavenly Dao was information given by the sign-in entry, so it could now be used directly as a bargaining chip!
"It seems I was right!"
Ning Ye smiled and teased Jun Qianyue, who looked a bit out of sorts.
"Keep going!"
"What else do you know?"
Jun Qianyue tapped the table with her jade hand. These things were her greatest secrets. How did Ning Ye know them? It had to be said that Ning Ye had truly piqued her interest, a great deal of interest!
"Hmm!"
Ning Ye straightened his thoughts slightly, then continued to speak as if listing family treasures.
"After returning to the Junlin Dynasty from the Great Wall of Despair, you became the youngest Grand General of the Empire!"
"At this time, you had already become the second person, after your father Jun Mohui, capable of commanding the Divine Strategy Army!"
"In the following years... you rapidly developed your own forces, secretly establishing your exclusive power—the Anding District!"
"With iron-fisted methods, you purged all underground forces in the Capital. Anyone unwilling to join your forces would be ruthlessly eliminated by the Anding District. Thus, during the day, the Capital belonged to the Junlin Imperial Family, but at night, the Capital was yours, Jun Qianyue's, to command, wasn't it?"
"Oh, right, after that, you set your sights on the Nangong Family, the Junlin Dynasty's foremost wealthy family.
In less than a year, you found an opportunity to stage a brilliant trick, swapping the civet for the crown prince!
The Young Lord of the Nangong Family was killed by your people, and the current Young Lord, Nangong Miao, was replaced by one of your Anding District members. So now, the entire Nangong Family has completely become your private treasury, am I right?"
"Of course, what I admire most is your massacre of the Xiao Family, one of your four great Junlin warlord families. Xiao Changhe, the eldest Young Master of the Xiao Family, was getting married in Gusu City, but on the day of the wedding, the heads of the main branch of the Xiao Family exploded one by one in a grand spectacle that is still widely circulated in the Capital and even throughout Junlin!"
"Now, many people in the Junlin Dynasty speculate that this incident was done by your Jun Family, but it's not... because your father, Jun Mohui, truly knows nothing. All of this is your masterpiece, Miss Jun!"
Hearing this, Jun Qianyue suddenly stood up. The temperature at the top of the entire Divine Strategy Tower had dropped to freezing point. Although it was summer, it made people feel a biting cold, as if in an ice cave!
"A good story!"
"But... you forgot to say, why would This Young Lady do these insane and heinous things?"
Jun Qianyue's voice now completely lacked the playful tone from before, leaving only utter coldness.
"Ha ha ha!"
Ning Ye shook his head with a light chuckle, then took a deep breath, looked up, and stared intently at Jun Qianyue, speaking in a deep, direct voice.
"Naturally, it's the same as me... to assassinate the monarch and overthrow imperial power!"
