Zhou Xuelin casually threw Zhou Siyi into Song Wen's cave.
After confirming there were no abnormalities, he flew into the cave.
Then, he activated Song Wen's identity token to seal the cave's restrictions.
Next, he needed to forcibly break through the fifth-tier formation, which would definitely cause so noise; sealing the cave's restrictions would make it hard for outsiders to notice.
Zhou Xuelin approached the formation barrier, holding a three-foot green blade.
He circulated his spiritual power.
The long sword suddenly stabbed toward the formation barrier.
The formation barrier shattered like ripples spreading across the surface of a lake when a stone is thrown into it.
However, the next scene caused a sudden surge of ominous premonition in Zhou Xuelin's heart.
After the formation barrier broke, a vast expanse of white mist surged out.
In an instant, Zhou Xuelin and Zhou Siyi were engulfed, filling the entire cave.
Spirit Concealing Mist!
Zhou Xuelin's expression changed slightly.
A large amount of Spirit Concealing Mist filled the narrow cave.
The density of the Spirit Concealing Mist far exceeded that used by Du Tianhua outdoors.
Before him was a white haze, and nothing was visible.
The suppression of spiritual awareness was also much stronger.
His spiritual sense could barely detect movents within half a ter around him.
This made Zhou Xuelin nearly blind.
At the sa ti, he lost all sense of Zhou Siyi.
Suddenly.
The mist ahead began to surge violently.
Accompanying this were piercing sounds of sothing slicing through the air.
It was as if a massive iron rod was smashing toward him.
Zhou Xuelin assud it was Song Wen launching a surprise attack, and a look of disdain crossed his face.
Even with the Spirit Concealing Mist disrupting his perception, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator could hardly injure him.
He urged the long sword in his hand, and a cold gleam flashed.
A sword energy slashed through the mist.
"Puff!"
The sound of the sword energy striking sothing echoed.
Before Zhou Xuelin could check what had been hit, the mist around him began to stir violently.
Zhou Xuelin's expression turned serious as he urged the long sword, unleashing countless sharp sword energies in all directions.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
The sounds of sword energy striking targets rang out one after another.
Followed by the muffled thud of heavy objects hitting the ground.
"Thud, thud, thud..."
Zhou Xuelin realized sothing was off.
What he struck was not Song Wen, nor so spirit tool, but several tall living beings.
They were the human snakes imprisoned in Song Wen's cave!
From his two recent strikes, he must have hit seven human snakes.
It matched the number of human snakes in Song Wen's cave.
Zhou Xuelin's expression slightly changed as he caught a whiff of a conspiracy.
Relying on his mory, he quickly headed toward the cave's entrance.
Outside the cave.
Fang Pengyi and Song Wen stood suspended in midair.
"Fang Fengyi, you must save ! Zhou Feng from the Spirit Beast Peak wants to kill !"
Song Wen said in a terrified and trembling voice.
Fang Pengyi could hardly conceal the smug smile on his face, feeling extrely pleased.
He had been worried that the Spirit Beast Peak, being nurous and resourceful, would outpace the Alchemy Peak in the matter of refining human snake corpses and achieve the state of abundant mysterious energy first.
This could lead to the position of sect master falling into Zhou Xuelin's hands.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xuelin had beco disordered and attacked Song Wen, who had managed
to escape.
What a self-inflicted predicant.
"Don't worry, Elder Wu; I will ensure your safety. Zhou Xuelin can't dominate the
Beastmaster Sect yet."
Just then.
The cave's restrictions suddenly opened.
Zhou Xuelin's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.
When he saw Song Wen and Fang Pengyi, an icy chill suddenly rose in his heart.
'Elder Wu' is actually not in the cave.
This is a trap!
'Elder Wu' colluded with Zhou Siyi, intentionally luring him here, and then used the Spirit Concealing Mist to disrupt his perception, causing him to slaughter all the human snakes.
"Zhou Siyi, that wretched girl! She betrayed ."
Zhou Xuelin's eyes widened with fury, thinking maliciously.
"Zhou Xuelin, as a deputy peak master, how can you secretly attack your fellow sect's
Foundation Establishnt elders? This is a disgrace to the reputation of the Beastmaster
Sect!"
Fang Pengyi scolded loudly, his voice booming like a bell.
He intended to attract the attention of more sect mbers to the incident, exposing Zhou
Xuelin's heinous deeds and tarnishing his reputation.
"Fang Pengyi, get out of the way."
Zhou Xuelin glared at Fang Pengyi, wanting to withdraw as quickly as possible.
However, Fang Pengyi was not about to let go of this opportunity to bring Zhou Xuelin down;
he wouldn't allow him to leave easily.
In the night sky, dozens of figures were rushing toward them.
Fang Pengyi had already notified the entire peak with a jade slip, summoning all Foundation
Establishnt cultivators and so Qi Refinent disciples.
These people quickly surrounded the cave's entrance, leaving no escape route.
Zhou Xuelin's expression was as dark as water.
"Fang Pengyi, what do you want?"
Fang Pengyi raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"What do I want to do? Of course, I want the whole sect to see your hypocritical face."
"You..."
Zhou Xuelin glared at him, shouting angrily.
"Tell your peak mbers to move aside; otherwise, I will take action!"
"Ha ha..." Fang Pengyi chuckled lightly.
"Peak Master Zhou, with all eyes on you, you actually think to act against more than ten Foundation Establishnt elders and dozens of Qi Refinent disciples from my peak."
At that mont.
Zhou Siyi stumbled out of Song Wen's cave.
She bent her legs and knelt before Zhou Xuelin.
"Father, please spare your daughter; I really don't want to die."
Zhou Siyi's pleas were like adding fuel to the fire.
Secretly assassinating fellow sect elders and violating sect prohibitions was a grave sin.
To want to put his own daughter to death was an even greater evil, a loss of all humanity.
The crowd watching this scene was suddenly in an uproar.
Zhou Siyi was exceptionally beautiful, with outstanding talent, and many cultivators in the
peak held her in high regard.
It was astonishing that Zhou Xuelin would want to harm such a perfect daughter.
Instantly, people began pointing and whispering among themselves.
Zhou Xuelin stared at his pleading daughter, burning with rage, his hands trembling
uncontrollably.
"I have toiled and endured to raise you for over ten years, and you repay my kindness with
malice."
"Father, I just want to live," Zhou Siyi cried, tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful.
"I will kill you, unfilial daughter!"
Zhou Xuelin's anger surged, his killing intent overwhelming.
A trendous amount of spiritual power gathered between his hands.
Though he desperately wished to tear Zhou Siyi apart, he didn't dare to kill her in front of
everyone.
Otherwise, he would be branded with the stigma of harming his own daughter.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Peak Master Zhou, you truly are universally despised," Fang Pengyi said
gleefully, fanning the flas.
At this mont, several figures rushed in from the distant sky.
It was the people from the Law Enforcent Hall whom Fang Pengyi had notified.
The newcors included the head of the Law Enforcent Hall, Luo Liang, the deputy hall
master, Feng Xinghai, and several Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
TL: Luo Liang was previously Luo Lianggong...
Zhou Xuelin's face grew increasingly ugly.
With both the head and deputy hall master of the Law Enforcent Hall present, today's
events would not end well.
It was likely that soon, the entire Beastmaster Sect would know:
Zhou Xuelin, a dignified Golden Core cultivator and deputy master of the Spirit Beast Peak,
had secretly assassinated a sect's Foundation Establishnt elder.
Moreover, he had failed!
His reputation within the Beastmaster Sect would plumt.
He had completely lost the qualification to vie for the position of sect master.
Though the righteous path values strength, it also emphasizes righteousness and fairness; at
least, that's how it appears on the surface.
The sect master of the Beastmaster Sect could not possibly be soone unprincipled and
infamous.
