A flash of light appeared in mid-air, and the communication device projected a light mirror into the air, indistinct yet still fairly clear.

The mirror reflected a disheveled male cultivator covered in mud, kneeling on the ground holding a communication book, his face contorted in pain as he cried out.

"Junior Sister Feng, you have no idea how despicable Bai Tong is! She's still alive, but she hasn't returned to the sect for fifteen years, making you worry about her for nothing all these years. How can she be so heartless!"

Feng Yinyue was surprised: "Bai Tong?" She then asked worriedly: "Senior Brother Shan, what happened to you? Are you injured? Is your injury serious? You should take some healing pills quickly!"

The disciples nearby were shocked, and the square was instantly filled with commotion.

The disciples around him were whispering and talking amongst themselves.

Who is Bai Tong?

What's going on?

"Bai Tong... I remember her, she seems to be Jingyang Immortal Lord's junior sister. But she's been missing for fifteen years, how could she be in the Loose Cultivator City?"

"I know! Back then, Senior Sister Feng was seriously injured by a demon beast while saving Bai Tong, and she has always blamed herself for not being able to save Bai Tong. So this bitch not only didn't thank Senior Sister Feng, but she ran away on her own?"

"Don't forget what Senior Brother Shan just said—that Bai Tong publicly insulted Senior Sister Feng!?"

When Shan Zongguang saw the other side of the communication book and saw Feng Yinyue's worried expression about his injuries, he couldn't help but feel happy and wanted to cry: "Junior Sister Feng, you're worried about me, I'm so touched..."

A fleeting sense of disgust and aversion crossed Feng Yinyue's heart, but her beautiful face grew increasingly worried.

"Senior Brother Shan, you just mentioned Bai Tong. How come she's in the Loose Cultivator City? The sect has been looking for her for so long, but she hasn't sent any news back."

Instead of clarifying the situation in the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, he nodded fiercely with a ferocious expression and spoke angrily.

"Yes, it's that bitch Bai Tong! She cured my mind, and she's the one who inflicted these injuries on me! She advanced to the Core Formation stage and colluded with those unruly and lowly people in the Loose Cultivator City to destroy my Golden Core!"

The disciples were dumbfounded and cried out in astonishment.

"She even publicly slandered her, saying that Junior Sister Feng harmed her and that's why she ran away! I don't know how she managed to get on the good side of the loose cultivator city, and those people are actually protecting her... I told her she has no conscience, that she actually betrayed her sect, and she actually said..."

Yamamune Hikaru spouted nonsense without even blinking.

He could see clearly that Feng Yinyue was now on the main peak of the Ziwei Heavenly Palace, in the square in front of the main hall.

She told herself three parts truth and seven parts falsehood, concealing some important things—such as that she had become a weapon cultivator, or that she was highly regarded by the loose cultivator city; she also exaggerated the hatred situation, such as casually spreading a few slanderous rumors about her.

Such a commotion will surely alarm the sect leaders and elders in the main hall.

Bai Tong dared to destroy his own cultivation. He couldn't beat her, so couldn't he incite others to kill her?

“Those people from the loose cultivator city said that she would go to the Immortal Inquiry Realm in place of the loose cultivator city. She was arrogant and pointed at me, saying that the Ziwei Heavenly Palace did not care about her, but the loose cultivator city cherished her.”

As Yamamoto Munemitsu spoke, he became more and more excited, his facial features contorting with elation:

“I told her she had betrayed her master and ancestors and that she had to come back to the sect with me. She got furious and shattered my golden core, and insulted the Ziwei Heavenly Palace as a filthy and corrupt place! She said she would only reluctantly return to the sect if the sect knelt down and begged her to come back!”

No sooner had Yamamunemitsu's voice fallen than a fierce shout suddenly erupted from the main hall, filled with rage that seemed to tear through the clouds:

"That bastard Bai Tong!"
