Chapter 1452: Chapter 1443: Crisis Erges, Heavily Surrounded
“Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The copper bell in the center of Wanyue Pavilion’s square was ringing more urgently. From within Wanyue Pavilion, surges of energy rose, quickly approaching the square.
The disciples of Wanyue Pavilion gathered in small groups, their gazes towards Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan filled with disdain and disgust.
“Xiao Liangzi, Su Bingshuan, I think we should leave here imdiately,” Ye Chenfeng strongly trusted his instincts. When he wanted to turn around and rush down the mountain, it was already too late. Two overwhelming forces enveloped the entire square. Ye Chenfeng knew that if he tried to charge down the mountain regardless, those who emitted these two forces would definitely act imdiately.
A stern-looking middle-aged man and a beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly appeared in the center of the square. The two overwhelming forces ca from them; they were the two sect leaders of Wanyue Pavilion, Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong.
As Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong arrived at the square, an old man in a brown robe appeared beside them. This old man was Yuan Qiushi, the sixth elder of Wanyue Pavilion, whose strength was at the peak of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm.
When Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong announced the expulsion of Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan from the sect and that they would do everything to capture them, the other inner elders left Wanyue Pavilion to search for their whereabouts. Now, only Yuan Qiushi remained as an inner elder in Wanyue Pavilion.
After the presence of Sect Leaders Shi Qianren, Fang Yurong, and Elder Yuan Qiushi in the square, over a thousand disciples of Wanyue Pavilion appeared one after another. The strength of these disciples ranged from the Spirit Communication Realm to the Divine Thought Realm. Instantly, these disciples heavily surrounded Ye Chenfeng, Su Bingshuan, and Liang Zuoyi.
Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan found the situation overwhelming as if directed at them. Their minds instantly went blank, clearly sensing the murderous intent many Wanyue Pavilion disciples had towards them.
With the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, Ye Chenfeng watched the thousand Wanyue Pavilion disciples, his gaze finally fixing on Shi Qianren, Fang Yurong, and Yuan Qiushi. He sensed that Shi Qianren was a strong cultivator at the late Second Heavenly Layer of the Reincarnation Realm; Fang Yurong was at the initial phase of the sa level; Yuan Qiushi was at the peak of the Second Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm.
Ye Chenfeng frowned tightly and patted Liang Zuoyi’s shoulder, saying, “Xiao Liangzi, is your reputation really so effective in Wanyue Pavilion? So many people have co to welco you back?”
With Ye Chenfeng’s pat, Liang Zuoyi quickly returned to his senses. Looking at Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong standing in the center of the square, he said, “Sect Leader Shi, Sect Leader Fang, has sothing happened in Wanyue Pavilion?”
Su Bingshuan also imdiately asked, “Sect Leader Shi, Sect Leader Fang, have we done sothing wrong?”
Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong had no intention of speaking, but the sixth elder, Yuan Qiushi, coldly shouted, “Liang Zuoyi, Su Bingshuan, do you still not know your mistake? You are no longer disciples of Wanyue Pavilion; you have been expelled.”
“Huh!”
Yuan Qiushi’s gaze suddenly fixed on Ye Chenfeng. They had all seen the portraits of Ye Chenfeng and Elder Tianhuo. He imdiately said to Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong, “Sect Leader Shi, Sect Leader Fang, now we can be one hundred percent sure that Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan are related to the death of the inner elder of the Refining Sect, and the boy with them is also an accomplice. We have all seen his portrait.”
Hearing this, Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong looked at Ye Chenfeng. Shi Qianren nodded, saying, “Indeed, this boy appears in the images sent by the Refining Sect, truly unexpected that they would co to us voluntarily.”
Fang Yurong icily said, “This boy cos at the right ti. We will capture all three of them alive and send them to the Refining Sect. I believe the Refining Sect will no longer hold Wanyue Pavilion accountable.”
The conversation between Shi Qianren and others was also heard by Ye Chenfeng and his companions. ntioning the Refining Sect imdiately reminded them of Zhu Wenchang, who recently died in Tongtian City. Liang Zuoyi said, “Sect Leader Shi, Sect Leader Fang, Sixth Elder, there must be so misunderstanding. We can all explain.”
Su Bingshuan added, “Inner Elder Zhu Wenchang of the Refining Sect deserved to die. As disciples of Wanyue Pavilion, is the Sect Leader really so heartless towards us?”
Fang Yurong frowned and said sharply, “Very well, I will give you a chance to explain.” To Fang Yurong, since Su Bingshuan and the others could certainly not escape, she wanted to hear how they would explain.
Seeing that Fang Yurong had given them a chance to explain, Liang Zuoyi glanced at Ye Chenfeng before hastily saying, “Sect Leader Shi, Sect Leader Fang, at the ti, we entered Tongtian City with this friend. Inner elder Zhu Wenchang was also there. Zhu Wenchang seed to have a conflict with our friend and attempted to attack us upon eting.”
“Later, due to the rules within Tongtian City, our friend and Zhu Wenchang had a refining duel, with the loser at the rcy of the winner. Elder Tianhuo was the witness for this refining duel.”
“My friend is a dignified Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner. He ultimately won the duel, and with Elder Tianhuo’s help, Zhu Wenchang died at my friend’s hands. This was a formal duel, and it was stated beforehand. Even if we go to the Refining Sect to argue, we are not afraid.”
Seeing that Liang Zuoyi explained the whole situation clearly, Su Bingshuan nodded and said, “Sect Leader Shi, Sect Leader Fang, Liang Zuoyi has not said a single false word. Since Zhu Wenchang agreed to the duel with our friend, he should have been ntally prepared for death.”
After hearing Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan’s words, Sixth Elder Yuan Qiushi turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng, then laughed boisterously, “Hahaha, Liang Zuoyi, Su Bingshuan, how dare you fabricate such lies? You claim this boy is a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner? Even the Sect Master of the Refining Sect is only a Sixth-Rank Refiner, and you are still spouting nonsense here at this ti?”
“The people of the Refining Sect have already told us everything. The three of you are rely accomplices of Elder Tianhuo. Elder Tianhuo has long had conflicts with the Refining Sect. However, as accomplices alone, you all deserve to die ten thousand tis.”
The City Lord of Tongtian City, Gu Nanhong, had thoroughly concealed the details of the refining duel. Not only were those from Wanyue Pavilion uninford, but even the Refining Sect knew nothing about it. Thus, the Refining Sect thought the whole incident was orchestrated by Elder Tianhuo.
“Su Bingshuan, do you take us for children? Enough with the explanations; will you surrender, or should we take action?” Fang Yurong coldly demanded.
Sixth Elder Yuan Qiushi said, “Sect Leader Shi, Sect Leader Fang, these three are only at the Divine Thought Realm. If the two of you act, it may harm your reputation when this spreads. I suggest handling this matter myself!”
Shi Qianren and Fang Yurong found Yuan Qiushi’s proposal quite reasonable. After all, as sect leaders, taking action against three people at the Divine Thought Realm might seem unrefined.
Seeing the two sect leaders approve his suggestion, Yuan Qiushi looked at Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan, demanding, “Hand over what you obtained from the relics in the Northern Desolate Wasteland imdiately. If you comply, we won’t make it difficult for you. Your fate will be decided by the Refining Sect.”
Seeing the attitude of the two sect leaders and hearing Yuan Qiushi’s demand, while surrounded by thousands of disciples of Wanyue Pavilion, despair enveloped Liang Zuoyi and Su Bingshuan’s faces.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were also filled with intense gravity. Not to ntion the thousands of Wanyue Pavilion disciples around him, but even against any of the three – Shi Qianren, Fang Yurong, or Yuan Qiushi – with his current mid-second stage strength of the Divine Thought Realm, he could not handle any of them.
For a mont, Ye Chenfeng, Liang Zuoyi, and Su Bingshuan found themselves in an endless predicant, none of them expecting such events to unfold upon arriving at Wanyue Pavilion.
