Chapter 216: Sect Defection Causes Criticism

Yan Weiwan nodded thoughtfully.

Elder Ying Su is quite loyal! He only has one disciple.

Nan Lezhi, who was standing aside, had anxiety in his eyes.

If Qi Ningzhu were to become possessed by a demon, I wouldn't know how Bai Yunshu would feel right now, nor would I know what the sect's current situation was like...

She had no choice but to speed up a bit. Yan Weiwan watched the mountains and rivers passing by quickly under her feet and stared at them for a while.

When she arrived at the sect's territory, she was still a little dazed. It was only when Nan Lezhi put her on the ground that she came to her senses.

“Master, how did the sect become like this… Yin Huan… she… she wouldn’t do this, would she? The Sect Master… she…”

Yan Weiwan was still talking to her little sister, but her eyes were already fixed on Geng Jihuan in the distance.

In the air, the two saw Geng Jihuan kneeling on the ground, trying to save Tao Yiye.

Tao Yiye was covered in blood, his eyes were forced closed by Geng Jihuan, there were black marks on his neck, and he looked like he was already dead.

Yan Weiwan was unwilling to believe what he saw before his eyes.

A sect leader in the Creation Stage... could he die so easily? Where did Elder Ying Su go? And what about Qi Ningzhu, the demon-like being?

Nan Lezhi didn't say anything, but walked quickly to Geng Jihuan's side.

"How is she? Where is Elder Ying Su?"

Geng Jihuan noticed someone coming next to him and looked up in despair.

She held Tao Yiye's hand tighter.

"Qi Ningzhu borrowed the power of the Demon Lord of the Abyss and killed her. I used every possible means to seal her soul and spirit. Yunshu... she left with her disciple."

This soul and spirit, apart from protecting her body from disintegrating, are useless. It's completely useless...

Even in the near future, they will all disappear, and not even the soul or the spirit will be left.

For the first time, Geng Jihuan felt so useless.

"Yunshu... She's gone. She left with her disciple. How could you be so foolish back then? Aren't you a ruthless person? Why did you let family ties hold you back?"

Geng Jihuan murmured, not knowing who to blame for a moment.

As for Bai Yunshu, Geng Jihuan noticed her leaving, but was powerless to stop her.

How could she stop it? She couldn't stop it. Right now, she just wanted to protect her senior sister.

When Nan Lezhi heard the word "Demon Lord", his heart tightened and his mind was filled with the thought that it was all over.

The Demon Lord can only seal and suppress the demons with all his might, but cannot exterminate them. After all, demons are endless and are the grievance of all living beings.

Now, Bai Yunshu is the only one in the Cangsheng Dao. If Qi Ningzhu really becomes the Demon Lord, she will not be able to suppress her own disciple. Then the Demon Lord will bring disaster to the world, the world will be in great disaster, and the people will suffer.

"What are you still standing there for? You're back and why don't you help? Nan Lezhi, come and save your disciples! They're about to die!"

Yue Daiyuan, who was too busy in the distance, shouted loudly.

Next to her were several other elders who were less skilled in treating the disciples.

Wenren Yao rarely put away his abacus and transferred spiritual power to the seriously injured disciple.

Nan Lezhi hurried forward to help. Looking at the disciple twisted in pain on the ground, she squatted down and took out a lot of things from her space to see if they could be used.

Yan Weiwan looked at the many fellow sisters and fellow apprentices who were busy following behind her master.

As a medicine cultivator, Geng Jihuan even has a time limit for his sadness.

She wiped her tears, carried Tao Yiye back to the house and put him away, then used all her family savings to treat her disciple.

Since there was not enough medicine, they sought support from other sects.

The news of Emperor Xuanying spread very quickly.

Helplessly, Xuanying Sect issued a call for rest and recuperation, the disciples were possessed by demons, the sect leader died, and the Immortal Lord Yingsu took his disciples and disappeared, becoming the laughing stock of the entire immortal cultivation world for a time.

Some people sent things out of sympathy and helped with the reconstruction, some were puzzled and asked why Bai Yunshu was so heartless, and some watched the show from afar and said that Xuan Yingzong was really putting on a big show.

Three days later, Bai Yunshu rushed back with a lot of medicinal herbs.

The disciples of Xuanying Sect have all been settled in, but the elders are still busy, and Geng Jihuan has not had a good rest for several days.

However, Bai Yunshu was blocked outside the formation, and everyone was on guard against her and had no good attitude towards her.

When they learned of her return, many elders fell silent.

Only Geng Jihuan went to see her with a sword in hand.

Seeing Geng Jihuan leaving, many elders hurriedly followed her, and many disciples who were not seriously injured also followed.

When the two met, Bai Yunshu's face turned pale and he forced a smile.

"Senior Sister...I..."

She was about to speak when Geng Jihuan interrupted her.

"Don't call me Senior Sister. I won't pursue the previous incident when you went to suppress the demon, but when my disciple was seriously injured, where were you as an elder? You even took the criminal away with you!"

There was pain in her eyes, so she raised her sword.

Bai Yunshu looked at her raised sword, bit his lip, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Geng Jihuan took a deep breath.

"Yunshu, Senior Sister begs you to hand her over, okay? You are a sect elder, do you really want to defect for her? Senior Sister did it for you back then!"

Bai Yunshu stood where she was, looking at the many disciples and elders who were on guard against her, and smiled bitterly.

"I have never defected. I have returned to make amends. It was my fault for not teaching and disciplining my disciples well. But, Second Senior Sister, you said she did it for me?"

Bai Yunshu lowered his eyes.

"Why does everyone keep saying it's all for me? Why!"

Bai Yunshu stepped forward and placed his sword against hers.

"I admit she's great, I admit she works hard, but is it really for me? Senior Sister, you know my fate... you know."

"Why did she save me? It was simply because Master said that as long as I was here and the sect was here, her position as Sect Leader would remain. She was doing this for Master! For herself! She stopped me simply because the sect's luck rested with me, but a hundred years ago, I extracted it and returned it! I don't owe anyone anything!"

She expressed the resentment that she had suppressed in her heart for many years.

Hearing Bai Yunshu say that, Geng Jihuan's eyes were filled with disbelief and he slowly put his hand down.

"Bang—"

The sword in her hand fell to the ground, and there was no light in her eyes.

"She raised you personally. We grew up together and are as close as brothers. Our Xuanying Sect shouldn't have become like this."

As she spoke, she took something out of her arms and threw it into her arms.

"This was found in Senior Sister's room. It should be for you... Since you don't owe anything, you can leave. From now on, Xuanying Sect has nothing to do with you. I have no right to expel you from the sect, but I am now acting as the Sect Master. I will take back your position as Elder."

She spoke indifferently, and Bai Yunshu looked down at the thing in his arms.

There were two letters, one of which contained an unknown content, and the other was an order to revoke the position of elder.

She was stunned, and suddenly her eyes met Nan Lezhi's.

Nan Lezhi glanced at Bai Yunshu and said softly.

"I'm sorry... I won't stand for either side. I won't be your enemy, but I won't help you either. You saved me from danger, and Xuanying took me in. You've both done me a favor. But among the injured disciples, there are also my disciples. They are waiting for me, their master, to return and give them an explanation. Qi Ningzhu has hurt too many innocent people... I can't make a choice."
