Chapter 819: Setting Up the Stage for You to Perform

返回章节列表
?Reading on mobile phone—Not only does the real person Zero Yuan doubt it, the Master himself doesn’t believe it. Several disciples have their eyes darting, clearly aware that some of them have been pulled away by the second and fourth elders. But no one can guarantee whether they actually died outside. Among these, many regret not having joined the second and fourth elders. Just thinking about Liu Yun’s alluring, seductive face and her exquisite skills on the bed, their erections naturally rise in their pants. Seeing that everyone remains unconvinced, Liu Yun continued, “I speak this with absolute certainty—every single one of them was killed by Qin Feng!” “Nonsense,” said the man dressed as Qin’s younger brother, a rather awkward and unimpressive figure. “What is Qin Feng? A rising star barely recognized by the cultivation world. Can he possibly have killed our White Crane Sect’s thirteen elite cultivators? That’s simply absurd.” “Exactly,” agreed another. “Though the second and fourth elders were expelled from the sect, their cultivation ranks remain intact. How could they have been killed by a single person?” Another person said, "Uncle Master, you've fought against Qin Feng before—how impressive is he really?" Zero Yuan True Man blushed and scoffed, "He's just a young, inexperienced lad—how could he possibly be that impressive?" Of course, he wouldn't admit it; thus, everyone could easily guess that he had suffered defeats at Qin Feng's hands, and his dignity would surely be ruined. Liu Yun smiled, "In fact, proving the truth of my words is quite simple. The Master only needs to gather everyone together and simply count them—so, is it possible that you suspect I have some hidden scheme to overthrow your entire Bai He Sect?" Zero Yuan True Man snapped, "Hah! How could my esteemed Bai He Sect, so grand and powerful, fear a mere young woman? Gather everyone—those who are on retreat or in seclusion, all must come out. Within one cup of tea's time, anyone who arrives late shall be dealt with according to the rules!" The Master nodded in agreement, and the two disciples repeated the words to their uncle three times. All the disciples had gathered at the main gate, where someone was already counting them. "Report to the Master and Deputy Master," the disciple said, "except for the second and fourth senior disciples, ten have gone missing." Ten—shouldn't it have been eleven? Those who had been taken to the main academy by the fourth and second seniors were clearly eleven. The Master blushed deeply. He hadn't expected that, under such heavy pressure, disciples would quietly defect to the Tianli Sect, joining the second and fourth seniors. Zero Yuan Master's expression also grew grave—he hadn't anticipated this either. "Master Liu," the Master asked sharply, "are you certain that all the missing disciples have perished?" "I swear it," Liu said firmly. "If even a single word is false, let it be struck by heaven's thunder." "Brother," the Master turned to Zero Yuan Master, "what do you think? That young man Qin Feng—really that formidable? Isn't he capable of defeating even a dozen of them?" "By now, Zero Yuan, no longer caring about face, nodded and said, 'That young man truly is unusual. I've lost several times to him, but to say that even when combined, no group of fifteen people can match him—well, I find that hard to believe. Wouldn't they have simply fled if they couldn't hold their own?' Qin Dashi watched the performance with a cheerful expression. People with sharp minds truly are different—they can completely reverse unfavorable situations with just a few well-chosen words. Liu Yun replied, 'That's because Qin Feng had allies. Evidence shows that at the time, there were at least three female cultivators beside him, who together defeated your guild's thirteen—no, twelve—members!' 'Evidence?' Qin Dashi stepped forward. Liu Yun was startled. She hadn't noticed him paying attention earlier, but now, upon seeing his face clearly, she recognized him instantly. When he first started bedding down with the people from Bai He Gate, he was quite awkward and unimpressive—lacking in stamina, yet always managing to come up with some fresh, inventive moves on the bed, only to often end up messing things up. Thus, Liu Yun had a very strong impression of him. How could he have survived? He had gone out on a mission with the second-in-command, and it was said that he was the first person to meet Qin Feng—and yet, the first one to die. Could it be that he had turned traitor? "There is evidence, but it's not in my hands," Liu Yun said, feeling uncertain and hesitant to elaborate. Her gaze was sharp and intense, fixed on Qin Dashi's impersonator, as her growing suspicions intensified. The Master and Zero Yuan True Person had already placed their trust in him to at least sixty percent. They exchanged a glance, and Zero Yuan True Person said, "Since we don't yet have conclusive proof, we'd like you to stay with us. Should the facts align with your account, we will consider sparing your life. But should you be found lying, then you will surely meet your end." "Liu Yun smiled and said, 'I shall strictly follow the instructions of the two elders. As for me, I personally feel that if they died outside, each one having to send a report, it would truly be quite tragic!' The Master gave a subtle nod, and a disciple stepped forward. Two of them lifted Liu Yun and carried her toward the southern building. Cai Si was lifted by another and also taken in that direction. Liu Yun's eyes sparkled, frequently casting flirtatious glances at those beside her, and soon the two felt as though their bones had turned to butter. 'Brother, regarding this matter,' Zero Yuan said softly. 'These young disciples are truly ungrateful. If they truly had died outside, our White Crane Sect's statement would indeed be ruined. And what about Qin Feng? Why does he keep being so difficult to us!' From his own perspective, Zero Yuan briefly outlined the grievances among Sun Cheng, the second elder, the fourth elder, and Qin Feng. The Qin young lord beside him was furious—could you be any more shameless? Could you possibly shift all the blame onto me? Would you have even drawn the white crane sects into conflict if it weren’t for your provocations? Anyway, it doesn’t matter. You go ahead and frame me; I’ll kill my own people. See who suffers more. The Master’s expression remained calm and serious: “Then Qin Feng is indeed an anomaly—he has risen to the rank of a true cultivator so swiftly, which is truly astonishing.” “Precisely. That’s why we must eliminate him; otherwise, the entire cultivation world will be affected.” Besides framing him, they now even want his life. Fine. If you’re unkind, does that mean I must be courteous? Zero Yuan, the True Master, didn’t realize that these few words of his had sealed the fate of his entire sect—simply because of a matter of face. He felt that only by eliminating Qin Feng could he lift his own dignity. As for why Qin Feng has advanced so rapidly and whether this will bring benefits to the cultivation realm, he simply never considers these aspects. Even if he did think about them, he wouldn't alter his original intentions. The Master turned to the unruly disciples and sighed, speaking with resentment, "Listen closely to all of you! Anyone who dares to approach Liu Yun even a single step—I'll crush their spirit to dust. Once this matter is thoroughly investigated, not one of you will escape responsibility!"
