"Judging by Junior Brother’s tone, it seems there’s sothing hidden in your words, as if you’ve discovered sothing?"
Looking at Zheng Yi’s expression, Li Mingqi’s face gradually turned sullen. His tone grew cold, and his icy gaze fixed on Zheng Yi, pronouncing each word deliberately.
"Zheng Yi, are you crazy?"
"You’ve stayed here for too long and really think you’re the Earth Tyrant..."
"The sect rules are strict. A re Inner Sect Disciple dares to defy the orders of the true disciple of the sect. Are you planning to rebel?!"
The followers around Li Mingqi did not expect Zheng Yi to have such an attitude. They imdiately changed their expressions, stood up, and began to reprimand Zheng Yi.
They claid the moral high ground of the sect and brandished the rules of the Soul Catching Sect, to make this reckless kid understand who the true master here is.
"Senior Brother Li, you must be joking. Isn’t the Soul Catching Sect already gone? Everyone is caught in internal strife, all claiming to be the rightful heir. You ask to return to the sect to report, but whom should I listen to?"
Facing the accusations, Zheng Yi coldly chuckled and spoke directly.
He had no ti for circling around with them, so he simply laid things out plainly.
"So, have you been toying with us these past few days?"
"So you knew all along?!"
Li Mingqi’s face grew even colder as he stood up, feeling insulted.
This made his already high self-esteem even more unbearable, his eyes shooting out murderous intent, with a cold glare directed straight at him.
"You wretched dogs, I extended hospitality to you all out of camaraderie as fellow disciples of the Qi Family, not expecting you, Senior Brothers, to foster such untoward ambitions to take possession of what is not yours. That’s making too little of , Zheng."
Having laid all his cards on the table, Zheng Yi remarked indifferently.
"How should insubordination be dealt with according to sect rules?!"
Although prepared to seize the Qi Family, Li Mingqi did not intend to let Zheng Yi live. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, or whether he cooperated, in the end, Li Mingqi and others would find an excuse and reason to deal with this troubleso Inner Sect Disciple.
But to bring it up directly in public did make Li Mingqi’s expression even more unsightly. He fixed his gaze on Zheng Yi and coldly said,
"A re Inner Sect Disciple can still speak so eloquently in front of all of us until now. Such courage in the face of danger, I actually admire you sowhat."
"Or do you think you have so trump card? That you can stand against so many of us here with your strength alone?!"
"Either way, I think remaining an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple is quite a waste of your talent..."
Li Mingqi looked at him and suddenly laughed, saying slowly,
"I’ll give you a chance. How about kneeling down now and swearing allegiance to ?"
"Then go out and kill the leader of the Qi Family. Follow after that, and I promise you prosperity and a smooth path in your future cultivation..."
His gaze was full of deeper aning, and those around him gathered closer, as if the mont Zheng Yi refused, he would face overwhelming might.
A terrifying pressure closed in on Zheng Yi. If he were an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple, he would have been scared out of his wits by now.
Yet Zheng Yi remained seated, steady as ever, even taking a mont to sip so fragrant tea before lifting his head, smiling as he said,
"Wouldn’t it be better to accept reality? Stop being so caught up in past glories."
"After all, as the old saying goes, a featherless phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Does Senior Brother Li deeply agree?"
Zheng Yi’s tone beca lazy, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at them, carrying an indescribable air.
"The Soul Catching Sect is long gone, let’s all face reality."
"What sect rules? Whose sect rules? Who made these rules? Why haven’t I heard of them?"
"How dare you..."
Zheng Yi’s words were like a bolt from the blue, even making Li Mingqi and the others show surprised expressions. Through their verbal exchanges just now, they realized Zheng Yi was audacious.
But they hadn’t expected Zheng Yi’s audacity to extend to the point of denying the sect itself.
This statent left Li Mingqi and the others at a loss for words montarily, unsure how to retort.
Before Li Mingqi could speak, a commotion erupted outside, and a group of Qi Family cultivators barged in, directly standing behind Zheng Yi.
From outside wafted a thick scent of blood.
The people Li Mingqi stationed outside for backup were silently dealt with, not a single ssage of alarm being sent.
The turn of events was unexpected, but Zheng Yi sat there, composed, sipping his aromatic tea, though he remained silent, his intention was clear.
"Quite bold, quite the strategist!"
"Originally, we thought we were fishing in troubled waters, but it turns out we were stepping right into a trap, all along falling prey to another’s sches. It seems you, sir, are the real fisherman behind all this..."
Li Mingqi could not believe that a re Inner Sect Disciple could have the ans and courage to manage the Qi Family as tightly as a drum, impassable as a steel wall.
The Qi Family mbers they had been trying to draw into their fold all these days dared to openly defy such a true disciple of the sect, instead standing firmly behind a minor Inner Sect Disciple.
"I already said, the Soul Catching Sect is dood, and what’s important for everyone is to look forward..."
"While it’s a good tactic to use the fox to intimidate the tiger or to have the tigers devour the wolves, using it repeatedly just seems a bit petty."
Zheng Yi sneered, saying,
