Si Tianyi also disappeared from the spot.

The next second, the two appeared at the same time.

The shock was palpable!

Everywhere you look, there are the corpses of monsters.

Did Xiao Feng do this?

If Ouyang Lie didn't believe Xiao Feng was the savior before, he now has no choice but to believe it.

Xiao Feng, despite being only at the peak of the Golden Core stage, was able to fight fiercely in this place teeming with demonic beasts.

Terrifying!

That is...

After scanning the area, Ouyang Lie saw a massive corpse, as large as a small mountain.

The corpse's head was shattered, but the mangled flesh was still recognizable to everyone.

Mountain-moving giant!

Even the peak Nascent Soul stage demons in these deep mountains might not be able to contend with the top-tier demons!

He just died like that?

Looking at the remaining glimmer of light on the head, Ouyang Lie knew without a doubt who had done it.

"Sect Leader, where is that kid now?"

Ouyang Lie grew increasingly anxious, while Si Tianyi stroked his beard and looked up at the sky.

His deep gaze reflected the veins of the stars.

The comet shines brightly!

What a stroke of luck!

"Let's go!"

Seeing that Si Tianyi was about to give up, Ouyang Lie grabbed him.

"Senior brother, what should we do with that brat Xiao Feng? Although he's hated by many, he doesn't deserve to die!"

Si Tianyi shook his head and leaned down to whisper in Ouyang Lie's ear.

"Don't worry, this is that kid's good fortune!"

As they spoke, the two returned to their disciples.

"Issue the sect leader's order to seal off the demonic beast territory in the back mountain. All elders shall take turns guarding it!"

"No one is allowed to come here for training without the sect's order!"

"Why?"

Wang Chongming frowned; he felt that Ouyang Lie's recent reactions were somewhat off.

In addition, Si Tianyi has always been biased towards Xiao Feng.

It seems that Xiao Feng's background is not simple!

Now, they're actually sealing off the entire back mountain for the sake of an ordinary disciple.

This makes it even more complicated!

"This disciple has suffered a loss! Seal off this place and investigate thoroughly. Is there anything inappropriate about it?"

Ouyang Lie questioned him sternly, and Wang Chongming could only shrink back.

If you're going to put on an act, go all the way!

After issuing the secret order to blockade, Ouyang Lie and Si Tianyi began searching the battlefield.

"Sect Leader, the monsters in this back mountain have been suppressed by the killings of past sages. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a beast tide at all!"

"There must be something fishy about this!"

Si Tianyi wholeheartedly agreed, as he had participated in the hunt for demonic beasts years ago, and those beasts were forced to retreat three thousand miles.

Its sudden appearance now is truly unusual!

After searching for a while, a strange smell entered their nostrils.

The two exchanged a glance!

My heart was pounding!

Scatter the beasts!

Seeing the white powder all over the ground, even a fool would know what had happened.

Someone framed me!

Si Tianyi pondered for a moment. Those who came with Xiao Feng were Zhao Yuwei, Yue Yang, and the disciples of Qingsong Peak.

They were definitely among the culprits this time!

Ouyang Lie quickly realized what was happening.

"Senior brother, this matter probably has nothing to do with that girl Yuwei. Yueyang is my disciple, I know perfectly well that it was Qingsong Peak who did it!"

Si Tianyi didn't say much, and soon he gathered all the disciples together.

Yue Yang felt extremely guilty, while Wan Feiyu and his group looked completely at ease.

Ouyang Lie threw the collected powder directly between the group.

"Who did this?"

Yueyang spoke first.

"Master, I don't know!"

Wan Feiyu, however, remained remarkably rational.

"May I ask, Elder, what is this?"

Who is the murderer? It's self-evident!

Yueyang only suffered from its lack of common sense.

Ouyang Lie's pupils contracted slightly. This was actually related to his beloved eldest disciple?

How is that possible?

"Beast-Attracting Powder!" Si Tianyi said calmly, "This is a forbidden item of the sect. Why do you have it? You caused this beast tide, didn't you?"

Wan Feiyu spoke first, immediately kneeling on the ground.

"Sect Leader, I don't even know what this is, so naturally this matter has nothing to do with me, but I have a clue!"

Ouyang Lie became anxious.

"Speak quickly!"

"I vaguely remember that Senior Brother Yueyang has long harbored feelings for Senior Sister Yuwei. Recently, Junior Brother Xiao Feng and Senior Sister have been getting very close. I'm afraid it's a crime of passion!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples all echoed his sentiments.

They had already discussed this matter and chosen a scapegoat long ago!

Yueyang was shocked and spoke in a panic.

"You're talking nonsense. You were the one who told me the information. You're just trying to sow discord..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Yueyang regretted them.

Isn't this an admission of guilt without being asked?

Zhao Yuwei's expression was complicated, and she secretly took two steps back.

Little did he know that the person he wholeheartedly believed would save him was actually the ultimate culprit.

How is that possible?

"Sect Leader, if there's nothing else for me here, I'll take my leave. I'm going into the mountains to look for my junior brother again!"

After saying that, Zhao Yuwei left in disappointment.

Yueyang was extremely flustered and hurriedly tried to chase after him, while Ouyang Lie was even more disappointed.

"Get back here, kneel down. So, you really did this?"

Yueyang swallowed hard, unsure how to answer for a moment.

Wan Feiyu, however, had a face full of provocation.

"Senior brother, I never imagined that your honest and kind appearance would turn out to be such a ruthless person in private!"

The surrounding disciples also mocked him.

"Senior brother, you're truly troubled by love!"

"Senior brother, just admit it. We should head back now!"

I...

I'll kill you all!

As he spoke, Yue Yang charged towards the crowd, and in an instant, the temperature in the hall rose several degrees.

Wan Feiyu felt the terror of the attack and, in a panic, quickly pulled two disciples to stand in front of him.

No!

The two disciples were so terrified that they forgot to struggle.

The next second!

A terrifying aura swept over, forcefully blocking Yueyang's body.

"retreat!"

With a loud shout, Yueyang's body, visibly thinner, crashed heavily into the stone pillar of the main hall like a rag doll that had been thrown around.

this...

"Master, why..."

Yueyang looked up, incredulous that the person blocking his way was actually his master.

Where is the bond between master and disciple?

He only made one mistake!

Why should I be condemned by everyone?

This is outrageous!

A deep sense of disappointment filled Yueyang's body.

Ouyang Lie then interrupted Yue Yang directly.

"You brat, still so stubborn?" With that, his figure suddenly grew half a zhang taller, charging towards Yueyang like a giant beast.

But he's still my apprentice after all...

After giving him a good beating, Ouyang Lie stopped his attack.

"Sect Leader, since this matter was done by Yue Yang, this elder will not show any favoritism. Please issue an order, Sect Leader!"

Si Tianyi didn't say much, but walked to Wan Feiyu's side and gently sniffed him.

"Guards, take them all away and lock them in the sect's dungeon! They are not to leave without the sect leader's order!"

Wan Feiyu was somewhat surprised.

"Sect Leader, what does this have to do with me?"

"Go decide for yourself!"
