He was aware of the recent rumors circulating in the sect. He knew that Master Lingxiao was just that kind of person, and if he didn't calm him down, he might do something even more irrational, so he let him be.

If Shen Sang wants to resolve these rumors, he can simply talk to them privately.

Moreover, even if she doesn't say anything, once Master Lingxiao's anger has subsided, he will naturally persuade Master Lingxiao on her behalf, asking why he made the situation so embarrassing.

Shen Daochen frowned, realizing that his impulsiveness and recklessness made him unfit for great responsibilities.

"This is the young sect leader's competition. Sang Ruo, don't mention anything unrelated to the young sect leader's competition." Shen Daochen said coldly. "We can talk about irrelevant things after the competition is over."

His words implied that Shen Sang should know when to stop.

“Yes, Shen Sangruo, campaigning for votes is the most important thing right now. Don’t be confused,” Feng Heyun subconsciously advised.

Ultimately, it's because he's unwilling to admit that it was Shen Sangruo herself who wanted to leave Zhenlin Peak and leave them.

He also rallied several of his fellow disciples to persuade him, but of course, only Luo Chu still echoed his sentiments.

"Sang Ruo, the opportunity for the young sect leader to compete is hard-won. You should think it over carefully and not do anything foolish." Shen Daochen looked at her.

If she insists on handling this matter publicly, it means she has completely broken ties with Zhenlin Peak.

Her already strained relationship with Ling Xiao Zhenren will worsen further.

Lingxiao Zhenren holds an extremely important position in the Feiyun Sect, which is extremely disadvantageous for her in the competition for the young sect leader.

She has sacrificed so much for the position of young sect leader since she was a child, how could she be willing to let all her efforts go to waste?

If Chen Sang were a smart person, she would know that continuing to make trouble would not do her any good.

But this was only a "benefit" in Shen Daochen's eyes; to Shen Sangruo, it was worthless.

If anyone tries to sit at their table and eat their food, she'll flip the table over.

“What my uncle says makes sense, but it is precisely for the sake of the young sect leader’s competition that I must clarify the truth of this matter.” She was not swayed by Shen Daochen’s words.

"So many people in the sect are unwilling to vote for me because they think I am a disciple abandoned by True Master Lingxiao. How can this matter be considered unrelated to the competition between the young sect leader and the sect leader?"

Shen Sanruo lightly shut down Shen Daochen's words, using his own words against him, leaving Shen Daochen speechless.

Then, he stubbornly looked at Master Lingxiao and asked without changing his expression, "Master Lingxiao once promised to announce it within the sect. I requested to leave Zhenlin Peak and sever my master-disciple relationship with Master Lingxiao."

Upon hearing this, Feng Heyun and the others' expressions instantly turned ugly.

It felt as if my long-cherished dream had been shattered, and in the end, it was all just self-deception.

"Could it be that the number one cultivator in the cultivation world is also a person who breaks his word?" Shen Sangruo said sarcastically.

Those present were too shocked by what she said to think; their first reaction was that she had gone mad.

Previously, she had only shown slight disrespect to Master Lingxiao, but now, she has gone all out and confronted him directly.

Someone in the crowd said, "Who exactly said that Shen Sangri couldn't bear to part with Zhenlin Peak and Lingxiao Zhenren?"

The way she looked clearly indicated that she wanted to completely sever ties with Zhenlin Peak.

Lingxiao Zhenren stared at her with cold eyes, a hint of mockery flashing in them.

He had no intention of offering an explanation.

In his eyes, Shen Sangri was nothing more than an egg trying to break a rock, overestimating his own strength.

As she said, he was the number one cultivator in the cultivation world, while Shen Sangruo had such a bad reputation. Without him even saying a word, how credible were her words?

Just as Master Lingxiao had predicted, after a brief moment of shock, the disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect began to denounce Shen Sangruo again.

"Master Lingxiao was your former master, how can you speak to him like that?"

"I'm afraid he went mad after being expelled from his sect and, out of resentment, is deliberately trying to frame Master Lingxiao."

"Even if it's true, as you say, that you asked to leave Zhenlin Peak, so what? Master Lingxiao never said that you were expelled from the sect."

"It's because of your bad behavior that everyone thinks you were expelled from the sect."

"Zhenlin Peak has done nothing to wrong you, has it? You've been away from Zhenlin Peak for so long, and you still have to cause this trouble."

Lingxiao Zhenren lowered his gaze slightly. Without him saying anything, Shen Sangruo's plea would be drowned out by the crowd's condemnation.

Her power was as insignificant as an ant before him.

She didn't even have the right to ask him to explain.

Shen Sangruo was well aware of this situation. She had made thorough preparations and ensured that she would achieve her goal before taking such action.

Just as the matter was about to be suppressed, and Shen Daochen was about to speak up to bring the sect ticket selection process back on track.

As Shen Sang raised her hand high, four beams of light shot into the air from her palm.

Immediately, four enormous pages made of spiritual energy floated above everyone.

Those four were the confessions written by Feng Heyun and others, which she enlarged using her spiritual power.

That's why she insisted they write confessions.

After all that has happened, she no longer fully trusts them.

She must have some leverage in everything she does.

If they cannot do what they promised her, then she will do it for them.

A giant confession floated in the air, its shimmering words catching everyone's eye.

"What is this? A confession?"

At first, everyone was puzzled by this, but the more they read the words on the confession, the more horrified they became.

"Is this all something that Senior Brother Feng and the others did to Chen Sangri?"

The actions of Feng Heyun and the others were laid bare by Shen Sangruo in front of everyone, and they saw every single word clearly.

“They have their divine imprints on them, there’s no way to fake it, they really wrote it themselves.”

Shen Sangruo had no way of forcing the four to admit to fabricated crimes, so the crimes could only be confessed by the four themselves.

"My God, what they did was absolutely inhuman..."

“All four senior brothers wrote a letter of repentance; not one of them was innocent of harming her.”

There was a collective sigh of regret at the scene.

They never expected that Shen Sangri would be treated this way and suffer so much at Zhenlin Peak.

Such a thing is unheard of even in the entire cultivation world.

It was all about blood and sweat, being severely injured, the Seven Emotions Gu, and being blamed for everything.

They even felt that it was truly a miracle that Shen Sang was still alive today.

Zhenlin Peak is a place that countless disciples of the Flying Cloud Sect dream of, and Feng Heyun and his companions are regarded as role models by the disciples. However, their true colors are so despicable.

Now, even going to Zhenlin Peak requires considering whether you're tough enough.
