76: Chapter 76: The Mysterious Liao Feibai 76: Chapter 76: The Mysterious Liao Feibai Whoosh!
A colorful ribbon sparkling with spirit light suddenly shot out from Fairy Caiyi’s sleeve, blocking the fiercely attacking Fan Chuyu.
“Caiyi, what are you doing?” Blocked by Fairy Caiyi, Fan Chuyu was both shocked and enraged.
Was Caiyi actually taking action against him because of Ye Zhen, an Outer Disciple?
“Senior Brother Fan, in this matter, Ye Zhen is not at fault.
Please, leave him be.”
Fan Chuyu’s brow furrowed deeply, feeling even more disgruntled, but he could only watch helplessly due to Caiyi’s intervention.
However, the spot where Ye Zhen had severely beaten Yuen Chengzu was right at the entrance of the Qiyun Sect’s Council Hall.
The mont the fight broke out, it alerted many of the high-ranking mbers inside the Qiyun Sect.
Startled, the Sect Leader Guo Qijing, along with eight elders, rushed out en masse from the Council Hall.
Coming out, they saw Yuen Chengzu, an Inner Sect Disciple, being chased around clumsily by Ye Zhen, an Outer Disciple.
Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang was nearly driven to a crooked rage.
“Dammit, what are you all doing?
Stop fighting!” Elder Hong, losing face, roared angrily because Yuen Chengzu was his disciple.
Once an Outer Disciple becos an Inner Disciple, they can officially take a master within the Qiyun Sect.
Of course, it’s a mutual selection; you have to be deed worthy.
Elder Hong’s furious shout startled Yuen Chengzu, who was already fearfully respecting his teacher.
This fright exposed a critical weakness in Yuen Chengzu’s already shaky defense.
Ye Zhen stepped forward, using a turning elbow strike that directly shattered Yuen Chengzu’s Red Jade Primal Qi.
Like a slithering snake, he moved in close, and with a swish, swish, swish, he struck thirty-six points of the ridian-Sealing Finger Technique in an instant.
Yuen Chengzu’s staggering form suddenly stiffened.
Ye Zhen’s eyes flared with killing intent as he struck directly at Yuen Chengzu’s throat.
Not far away, the disgraced Elder Hong’s pupils contracted, and he roared in fury, “Scoundrel, daring to commit violence here, seeking your own death!”
With a roar, a spirit light, like a streaming ribbon, blasted towards Ye Zhen.
Fairy Caiyi, in great alarm, shouted, “Ye Zhen, be careful!”
Her Rainbow Ribbon shot out like a streaming ribbon, aiming to save Ye Zhen.
anwhile, Fan Chuyu sneered darkly and chided, “Caiyi, what are you doing?
How can you attack an elder?”
In the midst of speaking, Fan Chuyu slightly exerted his strength, delaying Fairy Caiyi for a mont.
That delay caused Fairy Caiyi’s Rainbow Ribbon to slow slightly.
Fairy Caiyi imdiately glared furiously at Fan Chuyu and asked, “What are you doing?”
Elder Hong was an elder of the Qiyun Sect with unfathomably deep cultivation.
If Ye Zhen were hit by that strike, he would undoubtedly be reduced to dust.
In an instant, a chill exploded behind Ye Zhen.
That sensation was even more terrifying than facing the Silver Line Demon Eagle King; almost instinctually, Ye Zhen switched his chopping move to a grab, flipping over Yuen Chengzu’s shoulder and swiftly dodging behind him like lightning.
“Hong, you shaless old man, an elder of the sect attacking an Outer Disciple, have you no sha?”
Accompanied by a sharp and crisp taunting voice, a streak of Ice Sword Light descended from the sky like lightning, striking against the spirit light blasted out by Elder Hong.
Bang!
The clash of the two forces generated layers of shockwaves, radiating outwards, with Ye Zhen being the closest to these shockwaves.
Yet, at the very mont the two forces collided, Ye Zhen had successfully saved himself—dodging behind Yuen Chengzu and using him as a human shield.
Thud thud thud!
The continuous aftershocks of the shockwave hamred against Yuen Chengzu’s chest.
Each wave forced Yuen Chengzu to spit out a mouthful of blood, and with every spurt of blood, his expression grew more haggard.
After the shockwave dissipated, Yuen Chengzu looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, his chest covered in blood; however, Ye Zhen, who had used Yuen Chengzu as a human shield, remained unhard and nonchalantly stood behind Yuen Chengzu.
This scene infuriated Elder Hong to the point of nearly vomiting blood.
His own disciple had been used as a human shield, and it was lucky that Liao Feibai had intercepted his strike.
Otherwise, his disciple might have been killed by his own hand.
At that point, there would be no place left for his face.
Almost simultaneously, a virtually imperceptible surge of force retracted back into the hands of Sect Leader Guo Qijing.
“Hong, you shaless old geezer attacking an Outer Disciple.
Try it again, and see if I don’t stab you with a few transparent holes right now!”
Descending from the sky, the furious Liao Feibai went up to Elder Hong, pointing at his nose, berating him fiercely, turning his face red and his body trembling.
“Liao Rakshasa, do not push too far.
He was trying to kill…”
“I am bullying you, so what?
If you can shalessly attack an Outer Disciple, I dare to bully you.
You don’t agree?
Co on, let’s practice!”
A series of irrational scoldings left Elder Hong rolling his eyes, almost fainting.
There was no helping it; he had lost face seeing his disciple beaten so badly that he resorted to acting rashly.
After all, with the Sect Leader present, there was no way Ye Zhen could actually kill Yuen Chengzu.
“All right, Feibai, enough with the commotion, it’s unseemly!” Unable to watch anymore, Sect Leader Guo Qijing finally spoke up to intervene.
To Ye Zhen’s surprise, Liao Feibai seed to barely regard the Sect Leader at all, completely ignoring Guo Qijing’s question.
“Damn it, what exactly is the identity of this instructor I’ve found?
A demoted instructor who dares to challenge a Sect Elder, and he managed to leave a Sect Elder speechless and even forced to swallow his own teeth and blood?
And he doesn’t even care about the Sect Leader?”
Watching this scene, Ye Zhen was utterly astonished and grew even more curious about Liao Feibai’s identity.
“Sect Leader, this Ye Zhen first committed heinous cris outside, and even hard ng Chuan’s mother, causing a huge disaster for the sect.
Now he has again committed a violent act in front of the Sect Council Hall, which really is an unforgivable cri…”
“Mr.
Hong, are you blind?
ng Chuan’s daughter, ng Xiaoyue, is right behind you.
Ask her who killed Old Madam ng,” Liao Feibai snapped coldly, making Elder Hong’s face turn red once again.
“It wasn’t Brother Ye Zhen.
When my grandmother died, Brother Ye Zhen was fleeing with !” ng Xiaoyue said with firm conviction.
Elder Hong was stunned for a mont, then sowhat reluctantly said, “Regardless of that matter, Ye Zhen has committed violence in front of the Sect Council Hall and tried to kill my disciple.
This was seen by everyone here, and fratricide within our sect is a grave cri!”
“A grave cri, my foot!
In my opinion, if Ye Zhen wanted to kill your disciple, then the disciple deserves to die and should be killed!”
Upon hearing this, the many elders present were left speechless.
How could it be so domineering that if Ye Zhen kills soone, that person deserved to die?
Even Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s face started twitching.
Following an order from the Sect Leader, a group of Sect Elders, Ye Zhen, ng Xiaoyue, Liao Feibai, and the nearly killed Yuen Chengzu were all summoned into the Sect Council Hall.
Outside the Sect Council Hall, watching Ye Zhen enter, the exhausted Fairy Caiyi turned and walked away.
Fan Chuyu, who was waiting for an opportunity, quickly followed and said anxiously, “Caiyi, listen to my explanation.
I was doing that for your sake.
As disciples, how can we oppose an elder…”
Regrettably, Fairy Caiyi wasn’t willing to listen even to half of Fan Chuyu’s explanation.
Like a flash, she soared into the sky, leaving Fan Chuyu with a distant back that he couldn’t reach…
Outside the Sect Council Hall, only Fan Chuyu was left, clenching his teeth in hatred.
———-
Inside the Sect Council Hall, Sect Leader Guo Qijing and the others were not in a hurry to deal with the matter between Ye Zhen and Yuen Chengzu, but first asked in detail about the incident involving Ye Zhen and ng Xiaoyue.
In this matter, Ye Zhen was naturally forthcoming and detailed in his explanations.
The only thing he did not ntion was how he severely injured Chu Jun and killed Jin Tai, briefly touching on these matters.
He had already explained these things to ng Xiaoyue.
Moreover, regarding the process of escaping with ng Xiaoyue, the higher-ups of the Qiyun Sect didn’t show much interest.
Their main interest still focused on ng Xiaoyue.
“Ye Zhen, are you saying that the Water Sect treated the ng family so harshly, even deploying heavy troops, just because of the Sword Light that fell towards Yinshan County after ng Chuan died?
They suspect that ng Xiaoyue inherited so mysterious power from ng Chuan?” Sect Leader Guo Qijing asked.
“Exactly!”
Ye Zhen nodded.
“An Inner Sect Disciple of the Water Sect, Prefectural Colonel Wang Yunbao of Yinshan County, had personally interrogated Old Madam ng and ng Xiaoyue nurous tis in my presence.
You can ask ng Xiaoyue about this.”
“Ye Zhen, when Old Madam ng entrusted ng Xiaoyue to you, didn’t she tell you anything?” Fifth Elder, Hong Banjiang, who had previously wanted to kill Ye Zhen, asked sharply.
As he spoke, everyone’s gaze in the hall converged on Ye Zhen.
Under the scrutiny of many elders, Ye Zhen slowly and firmly shook his head, “No, Old Madam ng only said to carve a living path for the blood of ng Chuan, Hero ng!”
In this regard, Ye Zhen was not telling the truth, nor did he dare to.
Ye Zhen couldn’t imagine if he revealed it, triggering so people’s greed within Qiyun Sect, wouldn’t ng Xiaoyue, having just escaped from the wolf’s den, be entering a tiger’s den?
After separately querying Ye Zhen and ng Xiaoyue for over an hour, the high echelons of Qiyun Sect finally finished their inquiries.
After listening to the separate narrations of Ye Zhen and ng Xiaoyue, Liao Feibai was furious.
He turned and stord off, “The Water Sect bastards, picking on orphans and widows, are really vile.
I’m going to blow up their Mountain Gate right now to vent my anger for Xiaoyue!”
“Feibai, co back!”
Sect Leader Guo Qijing called out several tis, barely managing to call back the furious Liao Feibai, “Feibai, this matter is not trivial.
We’ll report it to the Imperial Court first and wait for a public judgnt.
After the court has made a judgnt, we’ll discuss other matters.”
After a pause, Sect Leader Guo Qijing then said to Ye Zhen, “Ye Zhen, you did the right thing in this affair.
You have contributed to the sect, and after consulting with the elders later, we will certainly reward you according to your rits.”
As he said this, Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s expression suddenly beca stern, “However, rit is rit, and fault is fault.
Fratricide is a major taboo in our Qiyun Sect.
Ye Zhen, what exactly is the feud between you and Yuen Chengzu, and why did you attempt to harm your fellow sect mber in front of the Council Hall today?” Sect Leader Guo Qijing sharply questioned.
