Lose money and life

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of her fingertips. Oh, look, isn't the leader of Qingcheng coming out?

Everyone present stared at the sky blankly for a while.

Except for the sound of the hall collapsing, the scene was almost silent. Everyone in Xuanji Sect was in a trance. The students were dumbfounded. They all looked up at the sky and then looked up at the fierce man who collapsed the hall. Bai Roushuang covered her eyes and mourned for her senior sister's reputation for a moment, while the two female cultivators who were saved by Xu Shulou had a look of sudden enlightenment on their faces.

Xu Shulou didn't have time to ask them what they were realizing, because Feng Jiuyou was already furious when he looked at the ruins, and he drew his knife and attacked her in anger.

The Phoenix Clan's attack method was extremely gorgeous. Feng Jiuyou attacked Xu Shulou with brilliant spiritual light all around him. His eyes flashed with dazzling golden light and his hair fluttered in the air like a waterfall. When he drew his sword, there was even a sound of a phoenix cry around him. Such momentum made Xu Shulou a little nervous, unsure whether he could take this attack.

She folded her fan and turned it into a sword, and rushed forward. The two of them clashed swords in the air. Xu Shulou did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and he used all his strength in this sword, and then... Feng Jiuyou was actually knocked away by her. He was wrapped in the dazzling spiritual light all over his body, and slid several feet away on the ground.

At this moment, Xu Shulou even said "Hmm?" in confusion.

Everyone present who heard her voice understood what she meant - is he so weak?

Feng Jiuyou is from the Phoenix clan. He was in the Golden Core stage since birth and has lived for so long. Even if he spent one tenth of his time on cultivation, he shouldn't be unable to withstand a full-strength sword attack from her, right?

Xu Shulou even suspected that this fellow was using a self-torture trick, deliberately failing and pretending to be pitiful so that the leader would see him and show sympathy to him.

Apparently, some students also made this guess and said angrily, "What a scheming Phoenix Clan!"

"It doesn't seem to be fake..." Bai Roushuang stretched her neck to carefully examine Feng Jiuyou's face, then waved her arms in the crowd and shouted excitedly, "Senior Sister is so awesome!"

Their fight stopped in a moment, and the head of Qingcheng Sect had already landed in the square. He showed up at the wedding banquet this morning, presented a gift and left immediately. It was only a few hours later that he returned. However, everyone present was staring at him infatuatedly, as if they were looking at something very rare and hard to see. The head of the sect was also a little confused for a moment: "What's the commotion here?"

Qi Wutong, who was crying on Feng Jiuyou, pointed at Chu Fu and said, "Master, today is our big day, but these people came to bully us and treat the dignity of Qingcheng Sect as nothing. Please make a decision for me and Brother Jiuyou!"

The Xuanji Sect's group was still immersed in the trance brought to them by Xu Shulou, and Qi Wutong took the lead for a moment. Chu Fu calmly bowed to the head of Qingcheng Sect and said, "I am Chu Fu from Xuanji Sect, and I am suing Feng Jiuyou and Qi Wutong from your sect for stealing treasures and harming people!"

The headmaster frowned: "Oh?"

He glanced at the guests indifferently. Everyone understood what he meant. Some people left quickly for the sake of face, but many people pretended not to understand and continued to eat melon seeds to watch the fun.

Judging from Feng Jiuyou's usual demeanor, many of the guests who came to congratulate him did so out of respect, and they might not necessarily be on his side in their hearts. So, he had no hard feelings about watching the excitement at this moment.

Chu Fu told the head of the sect in detail about Qi Wutong's theft of the spiritual herbs and the deaths of his niece and brother.

"Feng..." The head of the sect looked around the field and saw the elder lying flat on the ground, struggling but not getting up. He paused and said, "Elder Feng, what do you have to say?"

Feng Jiuyou stood up with the help of Qi Wutong. "I gave him double the spiritual stones as compensation. I have done my best. Besides, his brother died because of infatuation. Should it be blamed on me and Wutong? It was them who ruined my wedding banquet and demolished my palace. They should give me an explanation!"

Qi Wutong also timidly glanced at Chu Fu and whispered, "Yes, when his brother came to see me, he looked ferocious, I was afraid that I would not be able to say anything unpleasant. Who knows how that person fell? How can empty words count now?

"You are going too far!" Chu Fu was not good at speaking, and his face was flushed with anger. "My brother was kicked out by you. That night, he showed signs of mental instability and possessed by demons. How can it have nothing to do with you?!"

The head of the sect looked at him, then glanced at Feng Jiuyou and the other two, as if he was pondering, "This sect will investigate this matter carefully and give everyone justice. Sect Master Chu and his party are requested to stay in Qingcheng for the time being. Today's wedding banquet will end here. Come on, send the guests away!"

"Master," Qi Wutong called softly, "Today is the wedding we have been looking forward to for a long time. Please at least let us finish the wedding banquet."

The head of the sect frowned instead: "Come here, take Feng Jiuyou and Qi Wutong away and detain them separately. Don't let them confuse their statements. Wait for the law enforcement elders to interrogate them one by one!"

"Thank you, Master." Chu Fu bowed. "May I ask, if it is found that these two were indeed responsible, what should we do?"

"Expel me from the sect, no leniency!"

No matter what he thought in his heart, whether there was still room for maneuver, at this moment in front of everyone, he could not tarnish the reputation of Qingcheng Sect for fairness. The leader believed that this treatment was reasonable, but Qi Wutong trembled all over and wiped away tears: "It's all my fault. I wanted to save Xiao Lan'er, Brother Jiuyou...but I really didn't expect that a girl would die because of this..."

Bai Roushuang sneered. She didn't expect that such a small figure in Xuanji Sect would dare to make a big deal out of it, right?

A clever student suddenly realized: "I didn't expect a girl would die because of this? Master, is she trying to trick Feng Jiuyou into saying she knew nothing about it to lessen her guilt? They are colluding with each other in front of us!"

Feng Jiuyou said angrily: "How can you slander Wutong like this?"

The head of the sect shouted, "Shut up!"

Qi Wutong's body froze, and tears like pearls fell one by one: "Brother Jiuyou, I don't want to go to jail."

Feng Jiuyou gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and begged the headmaster, "I am responsible for this matter alone, just detain me!"

The headmaster didn't look at him: "What if I say no?"

"Master!" Feng Jiuyou said anxiously, "Wu Tong has always been weak, I'm afraid he can't stand the hardship in prison!"

How could he not bear it? The head of the sect was confused. The prison of Qingcheng Sect was neither dark nor gloomy. There were beds, tables and chairs inside. Even if Qi Wutong neglected his cultivation, he was still a demon cultivator who had lived for 600 years. He had magical powers. How could he not bear it? When you said this, it sounded to other people as if Qingcheng Sect abused prisoners.

Seeing that he was unwilling to respond, Qi Wutong pouted and said, "If the Sect Leader were here, he would definitely not do this!"

These words startled the head of the sect. He had only taken over the position of head of the sect after his senior brother ascended to heaven twenty years ago. It had not been long, but he believed that he was as fair and strict as his senior brother. How could she say that the former head of the sect would not be like that?

He had not had much contact with Qi Wutong, and he only remembered that she was a rather innocent female cultivator. Seeing her still being stubborn after causing such a commotion, he had a very bad impression of her: "Take the two of them away quickly!"

Qi Wutong struggled and cried, "Okay, we are under the eaves of Qingcheng Sect, so we must be controlled by the Sect Master. No matter what the Sect Master does, we can only obey..."

Feng Jiuyou said anxiously: "Master! If you insist on imprisoning Wutong, don't, don't blame me for leaving Qingcheng on my own accord!"

The head of the sect stared at him, his eyes full of disappointment: "You want to betray Qingcheng for her?"

Feng Jiuyou stiffened his neck, feeling quite tragic as if he was against the whole world.

The head monk looked back at the guests who were leaving so slowly and looking back every few steps, and felt upset.

Bai Roushuang watched coldly and felt that Qi Wutong was not stupid, at least smarter than her lover. Feng Jiuyou was really justified, but she realized that she would have to take the responsibility after the matter was investigated. After the collusion failed, she was instigating Feng Jiuyou to rebel against Qingcheng. It sounded better for her to leave now than to be kicked out.

But it's true that a pot fits a lid. It's true that Feng Jiuyou is a bit stupid, but it's also true that he doesn't care about human life. Without his connivance and protection, how could Qi Wutong have the strength to act so arrogantly? He is certainly not innocent in this matter.

Bai Roushuang felt that Qi Wutong's attitude at this moment was extremely pretentious. "No, Brother Jiuyou, I can't let you down. I will leave by myself. I just... can't bear to leave you and the immortal servants who accompany me day and night in Qifeng Palace."

"Then we will take the immortal servants with us!" Feng Jiuyou looked at the head of the sect, "I have collected all the immortal servants here myself. They have nothing to do with Qingcheng. I want to take them away."

The look of disappointment on the headmaster's face had turned into indifference: "Please do as you please."

Feng Jiuyou hugged Qi Wutong: "Don't be afraid, I will take you back to the Phoenix Clan territory."

The head of the sect spoke again: "Announce to the world, Feng Jiuyou and Qi Wutong have nothing to do with Qingcheng from now on."

"Yes." Someone took the order and left.

Bai Roushuang suddenly became curious about how this story would be passed down in the cultivation world after today. Would everyone curse it, or would someone be deeply moved by the story of "Feng Xianzun betraying his sect for love"?

Chu Fu stood there, looking somewhat disappointed, and tried to comfort his disciples: "At least we have asked them to leave Qingcheng Sect, so this trip is not in vain. The Feng Clan has a transcendent status, and it is unrealistic to expect Qingcheng to kill Feng Jiuyou for this reason."

Everyone in Xuanji Sect was a little dejected. This incident had indeed disrupted their wedding banquet and forced them to leave Qingcheng. However, when they returned to the Phoenix Clan's territory, they would be clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, with a group of immortal servants waiting on them. They were not even expelled from the sect after being convicted of a crime... Everyone thought about it and felt a little unhappy.

"Yes, it is unlikely that the Qingcheng Sect will kill Feng Jiuyou for this. Expelling him from the sect is already the limit," Xu Shulou also sighed, "We can only kill him ourselves."

“…”

"Why didn't you come up with this idea?" Xu Shulou touched his face. Wouldn't this make him seem too cruel?

"We originally just wanted to ask Qingcheng Sect for an explanation," Chu Fu looked at her with shining eyes, "They have so many people and so much power, can we defeat them?"

“It’s not a big problem.”

When Feng Jiuyou, holding Qi Wutong and a group of immortal servants passed by Xu Shulou, he suddenly stopped and said, "I will remember you. This matter is not over yet. I will make you compensate me for my palace!"

Xu Shulou smiled slightly and responded readily: "No problem, as long as you and Qi Wutong pay with your lives first."
