Chapter 64 – Internal traitor
Liu Yulou buzzed around Shui Ling'er like a fly, chattering incessantly!
Swoosh!
Two palpable killing intents shot over.
Shui Ling'er lifted her snow-white chin and said coldly, "Who said I wanted to become Dao Companions with you, and who claimed I was humiliated?"
"This... this..." Liu Yulou broke out in a cold sweat, stammering.
"Junior Sister, don't let yourself be bewitched by this scoundrel!"
The Discipline Elder spoke up timely, "Shui Ling'er, you must not fear authority and shield a villain!"
His reprimand was sharp and filled with insinuations, the invisible pressure making others tremble.
But... Shui Ling'er was completely unfazed by it.
She strode over to Lin Hao with her long legs.
"I did it willingly, everything was of my own accord!"
Liu Yulou's face stiffened, and he stammered, "Junior Sister, I clearly heard you resisting, how can you say it was voluntary?"
After being 'kicked out' of the cave that day, he lingered outside and overheard what happened between the two, but he didn't dare to intervene.
"You, being alone, of course, don't understand the joys of the boudoir."
These words left everyone present in shock, even Elder Luo, who had been eager to bring Lin Hao to justice, felt a sense of powerlessness.
When a woman is willing to stand up and testify like this, forced dual cultivation clearly doesn't hold.
His leverage to detain Lin Hao had just decreased by one.
"But this Liu Yulou, falsely accusing Lin Hao, shouldn't he be punished?" Shui Ling'er said coldly.
"I..."
Liu Yulou wanted to defend himself but was silenced by Wang Taihang, who didn't want to end up losing more than he gained.
As the situation developed to this point, Sect Leader Ouyang felt it inappropriate to further question Lin Hao, as it would dishearten the disciples.
She intended to let the matter pass but needed someone to play along with her.
Murong Qinxue, with her graceful demeanor, was quite suitable for this role, but that female disciple was, after all, a disciple of Little Bamboo Peak.
No matter how you look at it, the one at a disadvantage was the female disciple, and having Qinxue speak up would be too insensitive.
She could only turn to Feng Cangyue, hoping this fiery girl wouldn't cause too much trouble.
But before she could speak, the Discipline Elder jumped in, refusing to let go.
"Sect Leader, regardless, the demon turmoil is closely related to Lin Hao, he should be punished!"
A trace of helplessness flashed in Sect Leader Ouyang's beautiful eyes. This Elder Luo, despite his age, still lacked understanding of human nature.
He was likely to get beaten again.
Wang Taihang was perceptive enough to sense the rising temperature in the hall and immediately stopped speaking.
He wasn't worried about being unable to defeat Feng Cangyue, but rather troubled by her madness; the Great Bamboo Peak lineage was not to be trifled with.
If you hit the young ones, the old ones would come.
Not to be provoked, nor could they be provoked.
"Sect Leader, both emotionally and logically, Lin Hao must be punished, otherwise how can we appease the disciples who suffered?"
Wang Taihang kept signaling Elder Luo, but the latter seemed oblivious, passionately arguing.
"Not punishing him is not enough to quell the public anger!"
"Are you implying that Great Bamboo Peak has no one?"
Boom!
Feng Cangyue stepped down from the fire lotus platform, each step leaving a fire lotus beneath her feet.
Eighteen steps, eighteen fire lotuses, converging into a sword aura.
The unmatched momentum seemed capable of cleaving the sky!
This...
Sect Leader Ouyang's face changed, Feng Junior Sister, in order to protect her disciple, actually used her strongest killing move. How could Elder Luo withstand it?
Willing to kill an elder just to vent for her disciple, the Great Bamboo Peak's protectiveness was truly unmatched!
However, Lin Hao being able to garner such attention from Feng Junior Sister was a bit troublesome!
"Go!"
Sect Leader Ouyang flicked her finger, sending a palm-sized bronze mirror flying in front of Elder Luo, transforming into a golden light shield.
Boom!
The two forces collided, the momentum violent!
Fortunately, the sect master's palace was a Magical Treasure, avoiding being cut down!
"Sect Leader, what is the meaning of this?"
Feng Cangyue looked coldly at the main seat, her strongest killing move unable to break the Sect Leader's shield.
"This old dog, repeatedly slandering my disciple, such an unjust dog, how is he fit to oversee the sect's discipline?"
Sect Leader Ouyang sighed inwardly but maintained her expression, "I think it's not just the Discipline Elder who needs to be replaced, the Grand Elder should be replaced as well!"
The Grand Elder, who hadn't spoken a word from the beginning, had a drastic change in expression.
"Sect Leader, why replace me?"
"What good deeds have you done, thinking you can hide them from me?"
In Sect Leader Ouyang's jade-like palm, a sudden appearance of an emerald bird.
"Do you all recognize this bird?"
Wang Taihang exclaimed, "Demon Bird!"
The sect's high-ranking members present had a change in expression.
The Demon Bird, though of low rank and unable to transform, with weak demonic power, had a unique trait.
It could detect demonic energy, no matter what concealment method was used, it couldn't escape this bird's detection!
Due to this trait, the bird's kind was exterminated by demons, who would have thought the Sect Leader had one in captivity.
Upon seeing the Demon Bird, the Grand Elder fled like a wild dog off its leash, rushing towards the hall's exit.
"Grass Sword Technique - Endless Growth!"
From the cracks in the hall's floor tiles, tender grass sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain.
The growth speed was just a bit faster than the Grand Elder's escape technique.
"No!"
Despair flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes, then he was pierced by the soft grass leaves, body and soul destroyed.
Lin Hao was shocked, the Grand Elder was a cultivator with sky-reaching power, yet he couldn't withstand even one move from the Sect Leader. Just how strong was the Sect Leader?
Feng Cangyue seemed to read Lin Hao's thoughts, a slight smirk on her lips, "As your Master, I too can slay this scoundrel with one sword."
Uh...
Why did it feel like Master was a bit jealous, Lin Hao felt a bit strange.
"Let's go, no need to watch their internal strife, it's boring."
Feng Cangyue waved her delicate hand, summoning the fire lotus platform to her side, gracefully leaping onto it.
"Sect Leader, I hope you keep your word and remove Elder Luo, otherwise my sword won't be reasonable!"
With that, she left with Lin Hao.
Great Bamboo Peak, mountain top.
Feng Cangyue lay lazily on the warm jade bed, her snow-white feet gently kicking three fireballs.
"Lin Hao, I need to go into seclusion for a while, stay obediently at Great Bamboo Peak, understand?"
"Disciple understands."
"Understand my foot!" Feng Cangyue rolled her eyes beautifully, sighing softly.
"You, more troublesome than your Senior Brothers and Sisters, I know you're restless, if you can't hold back, you can go out to train, use the sword pill I gave you when in danger, don't hesitate.
If it's damaged, come to me for another."
"However, remember, while I'm not around, act low-key, don't make me send off a black-haired person."
"Master, you don't look like someone with white hair."
Lin Hao sneaked a glance at his Master, her graceful curves making his blood surge.
"Get down and reflect properly!"
Feng Cangyue seemed to sense her disciple's gaze, with a flick of her sleeve, she knocked him off the cliff.
Brat, his courage was growing!
PS: Quite frustrated, the book has been stopped from being recommended, only readers who added it to their bookshelf can see it. I believe the book isn't too explicit, must have been reported by someone with ill intentions, helpless. Currently working overtime to revise the earlier chapters, hoping to release them.
During this period, striving to update normally, not to let down the readers who added it to their bookshelf.
Given the situation, can everyone give a five-star rating and some free gifts to comfort the author?
