Chapter 46 Bewitched

Qing'er was also speechless. She hadn't said a word since she arrived, so how could this be brought up with her?

Li Lianhua didn't stop them, but just watched coldly. Did he think he could humiliate Qing'er?

After a while, seeing that Xiao Zijin was not moving, everyone stopped. She was still alive and had a little breath left. Everyone knew their limits and wouldn't kill her. However, no one knew who had done it and crippled her martial arts.

Only then did Li Lianhua look at Yun Biqiu, who appeared somewhat flustered, his eyes darting away from Li Lianhua's gaze. Li Lianhua slowly asked, "Did you come here by yourself, or should I invite you?"

Following Li Lianhua's gaze, everyone saw Yun Biqiu's flustered appearance and immediately wondered if Yun Biqiu had done something else.

Yun Biqiu gritted his teeth and moved over anyway. Li Lianhua looked at him with a half-smile, saying nothing. Cold sweat broke out on Yun Biqiu's forehead, his eyes flickered, and he dared not meet Li Lianhua's gaze. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he knelt down with a thud, "Sect Leader, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Li Lianhua's eyes. After thinking it over carefully, she realized the problem: "During the East Sea Battle, you poisoned me with the Jade Tea Poison and lured all the brothers into the thunder and fire, didn't you?"

Yun Biqiu suddenly looked up. The sect leader knew? He knew he was finished. If he had only poisoned the sect leader, he might have been spared. But if he had led his brothers to their deaths in the thunder and fire, the sect leader would definitely not let him off. In the end, he resignedly nodded, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

"What? Yun Biqiu, you actually dared to use poison? And it's the poison of Bi Cha? You even led everyone into the thunder and fire." Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

"Why waste words with him? This damned scoundrel, beat him up!" With that, the man rushed forward, dragged the man aside, and started beating him. The others didn't lag behind. Actually, everyone wanted to kill him even more, but since the sect leader hadn't given the order, they didn't dare actually kill him.

After everyone finished beating him, they dragged him back to Li Lianhua. Li Lianhua took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, "Why did you do this?" Yun Biqiu lowered his head, his voice trembling, "I...I...Jiao Liqiao bewitched me into doing this."

Seeing his behavior, Qing'er, who had been silent all along, sneered, "Ha! He's bewitched and is trying to shift all the blame onto others." It's not that Jiao Liqiao has no responsibility, but his way of shifting blame onto others is despicable.

Liu Rujing glared angrily at Yun Biqiu, "Is the sect leader and so many brothers less important to you than a demonic witch from the cult?" The others also glared at him fiercely. They almost wouldn't have made it back if it weren't for their benefactor. And the sect leader—if it weren't for his profound internal strength, he probably would have… Thinking of this, they wished they could tear him to pieces. Yun Biqiu was so humiliated that he didn't dare lift his head.

Li Lianhua narrowed her eyes slightly, "Since you've admitted it, then you have to accept the punishment." Yun Biqiu's body trembled, and he collapsed to the ground, "Sect Master, I know I was wrong. You and my brothers are alright, so please let me off this time."

Seeing that he still showed no remorse, Li Lianhua felt a surge of anger. "I originally intended to kill you with my sword, but now, I'll make you taste a fate worse than death." With that, he lightly tapped his finger, preparing to inject some internal energy into Yun Biqiu's body. At this moment, Qing'er suddenly spoke up, "Wait." She then took out a bottle, the very bottle containing the Bi Cha poison she had extracted from Li Lianhua's body.

Li Lianhua looked at the bottle with some confusion. "This is..."

A sly smile flashed in Qing'er's eyes. When she put this away, she had already thought about how to use it, and now it could come in handy. "This is the Jade Tea Poison that was in your body before." After saying that, she used magic to pry open Yun Biqiu's mouth and poured it in.

Yun Biqiu's face turned deathly pale instantly, cold sweat poured down his face, and his body felt as if it were being devoured by thousands of ants.

Qing'er even used magic to keep him alive. He didn't have Li Lianhua's deep internal strength. If it weren't for Qing'er, he probably would have been dead within a quarter of an hour. How could she let him die so easily?
