A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1412 In the Sky Ranking's Top Three

"What? Are you telling me that he's not dead? You're not lying, are you?" The woman in the green dress froze suddenly when she heard what Tang Yun had said. The murderous rage that had enveloped her vanished without a trace.

She stared into Tang Yun's eyes with a bright desperate look in her own.

She did not fully trust what Tang Yun had said.

"You seem to care a lot for him. The two of you must share a very close relationship.

In that case, you should know that my unintentional attack could not have killed him," said Tang Yun. The woman in green froze momentarily.

Tang Yun was right. It would take a great deal to kill someone like Ye Fan. He wasn't the sort to die so easily.

She had to be sure though.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" asked the woman.

"Of course not! I'm the sect leader of Chu Sect. If I did kill Ye Fan, I would tell you that I did and if I didn't, I would tell you that I didn't. Why would I lie to you? I don't have to. But I did stab him with my sword. If you wish to exact vengeance for that, well, I'll fight you then," said Tang Yun dispassionately.

Having said that, Tang Yun did not linger and instead walked into the distance.

A chilly voice rang out behind her as she slowly disappeared into the horizon.

"I'll believe you this time, Tang Yun. But I have a word of advice for you. I don't know what's going on between you and Ye Fan and I don't care. All I know is that if he were to die by Chu Sect's hand, then I'll destroy Chu Sect. I'll make everyone in Chu Sect pay."

BOOM...

Her icy words, filled with the promise of death and violence, sent the winds howling.

Tang Yun paused in her tracks.

She did not turn around and kept her back to the other woman.

"Is that a threat? Unfortunately, Chu Sect isn't intimidated by threats. You think you can level Chu Sect, don't you?" Tang Yun laughed. "You can try. But instead of trying to threaten me, why don't you find Ye Fan and persuade him to set aside his stubborn ambitions. Tell him not to do anything crazy and get himself killed in the process."

The harsh winds howled.

These two equally beautiful women remained at odds with the other when they parted.

This time, the woman in green did not stop Tang Yun from leaving.

The look in her eyes finally softened after Tang Yun vanished from her sight. There seemed to be hints of joy in her eyes.

"You silly girl, you can give it a rest now.

Your worrying is making you act up. The ambush on Japanese seas didn't kill him after all, did it? He's not the kind who would get killed that easily."

The waves rose and crashed back into the ocean noisily while the woman in green murmured to herself.

"Well, I suppose you're happy now. But I foresee trouble for the Japanese martial arts circle. We humiliated Chu Sect today and they're not going to let the matter rest. Japanese lives are going to be lost if they come seeking revenge. Let's hope they don't find out who I truly am," Tsukuyomi frowned and muttered softly.

Since her rebirth, she had not shown herself in public.

The world only knew that Tsukuyomi Tenshin was back, but they had no idea what she looked like.

That had been why no one had known who she had been when she had stormed Chu Sect.

But that didn't mean that they weren't going to arrive at the right conclusion after the fact.

This incident wasn't going to do the Japanese martial arts circle any favors.

But she had to do it. The young man meant too much to her.

It didn't matter that Tsukuyomi Tenshin's soul had taken control over this body.

A part of Suzumiya Eigetsu remained buried inside her soul and her body and no one would be able to erase it.

Oftentimes, what Suzumiya Eigetsu felt would influence Tsukuyomi's decisions and actions.

Their minds had become entwined with one another in a strange fusion.

That had been why Tsukuyomi had felt a stab of pain when she had heard about Ye Fan's death and why, in a fit of anger, she had charged into India and stormed Chu Sect.

It had been why her rage and sorrow had dissipated when she had found out that Ye Fan were alive and why she had regained her composure.

She looked up and stared into the horizon.

A moment later, she began to make her way across the ocean back to Japan.

She did not look for Ye Fan like how Tang Yun had told her to.

All she wanted was to know that the young man was still alive.

Suzumiya Eigetsu did not wish for more. She did not have the right to.

Since the moment that she had come to share her body with Tsukuyomi Tenshin, she had known that she could never live an ordinary life, pursue ordinary interests or fall in love with someone. With great power, came great responsibility!

The winds howled fiercely while the rise and fall of the ocean waves left foamy trails in the sea.

From afar, they looked like sea serpents journeying home.

Tsukuyomi left with joy in her heart.

While one rejoiced, someone else despaired.

Tsukuyomi's arrival had been a thorn pricking Tang Yun's heart. She couldn't stop thinking about it and it made her feel strangely terrible.

She had no idea why she was feeling this way.

Was it because Ye Fan had another woman with beauty and strength that rivaled hers supporting him?

But why should she feel terrible about how many friends or lovers Ye Fan had?

Tang Yun didn't understand why she was feeling this way. All she knew was that she was frustrated She remained so as she

made her way back to the sect.

"Sect Leader, you're back! Did you kill the intruder?" the chief elder asked. He had reassembled their men and had led them towards Tang Yun upon her return. Tang Yun shook her head. "She's very powerful. We're evenly matched. I could only force her into a retreat. I can't kill her."

The rest gasped aloud with incredulity.

"What? You mean even our sect leader couldn't kill her?"

"Heavens!"

"How powerful must she be!"

"She must at least be placed in the top three places on the Sky Ranking!"

Chu Qi-Tian was equally stunned.

He couldn't believe that such a powerful martial artist had stormed Chu Sect just to avenge Ye Fan's death. He had been a nobody who had been cast aside by the Chu family.

"Damn that Ye Fan! Who the hell is he anyway?"

Jealousy churned inside Chu Qi-Tian, his nails sinking deep into his flesh as he clenched his fists tightly.
