Zhao Jiuming's face was grim.
He glared at Mingluo with resentment, convinced that this must have been Mingluo's scheme, otherwise how could Master Gu have arrived so quickly and so coincidentally?
He had long forgotten that he had also contacted Master Gu and was eager for him to arrive.
However, he hoped that Master Gu would arrive before Mingluo discovered his master, rather than when the secret of the Celestial Masters Sect was exposed.
He glanced at his master, then at Master Gu, his face flushed red.
“Master Gu, this is my master. A teacher for a day is a father for life. My master was just framed by villains. He did not do anything heinous. You are taking him away to ruin his reputation and leave him no way to live. I absolutely cannot agree to this. You have no right to arrest him, and I will not allow it. If you want to arrest him, you will have to step over the bodies of my Celestial Masters disciples.”
When the other disciples of the Celestial Masters Sect saw his stubbornness, they seemed to have found their backbone and stood around him, forming a human wall to block Zhao Tianshi inside.
Master Gu was so angry that he kept leaning on his cane, heartbroken and indignant.
"Have you all forgotten? Although you are from the Celestial Masters Sect, you were born to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, not to live or die for the Celestial Masters Sect. The Celestial Masters Sect is nothing but a fart in the face of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path!"
Zhao Jiuming felt a brief surge of emotion.
He secretly thought that after protecting his master this time, he would then eliminate evil and reform himself. If he didn't do so this time, he would probably regret it.
He stared coldly at Mingluo, feeling that Mingluo was the culprit.
Minglu chuckled, feeling like a villain in a movie or TV series compared to the other person's deep affection and loyalty...
What a joke!
If she cared about public opinion, she wouldn't have seized the position of god-slayer.
A slight smile played on her lips as a burst of spiritual energy surged from her palm, striking directly at Master Zhao.
Zhao Jiuming hurriedly tried to block, but in that instant he felt a force sticking to his body. Not only that, the force was also continuously drawing energy from his body, as if it wanted to drain all the flesh and blood from his body.
He turned his head and looked at his master in disbelief, only to see with his own eyes that Master Zhao's skeletal face had become plump, and the other disciples, like him, had also quickly withered away.
With the power he had seized, Master Zhao quickly retaliated against Mingluo, pushing Zhao Jiuming and the others toward Mingluo before turning and fleeing.
Nie Yuchen shielded Mingluo behind him, blocking Zhao Jiuming and the others, and then hurriedly chased after Zhao Tianshi.
Master Gu knew that if he went after them, Zhao Tianshi might use their past relationship to ruin things, so he stayed behind to look after Zhao Jiuming and the others.
He sighed, "Hesitation leads to chaos. Do you understand now? You've fallen into demonic possession; your master is no longer your master."
Zhao Jiuming collapsed weakly to the ground. Looking at his withered hands, he could feel that he had lost at least ten years of his lifespan, and his other junior brothers were probably in the same situation.
He couldn't quite describe the emotions he was feeling.
It was both heartbreaking and painful, and there was also a sense of wanting to end things. Exchanging ten years of life for the severing of the bond between master and disciple, it shouldn't be considered a loss, right?
A tear slid down his cheek, while some of the other disciples had already started crying.
Master Gu sighed and began to exorcise evil spirits and heal the wounds of the crowd.
Mingluo and Nie Yuchen continued their pursuit deeper into the area.
This place had been set up by Master Zhao as his secret training base, with a secret passage leading to the outside. By the time the two arrived, Master Zhao had already left in the internal elevator.
Mingluo felt a little regretful, because in those few short minutes, it was enough for Master Zhao to destroy all traces and escape without a trace.
The two turned back, searching for evidence along the way.
In this winding, secret chamber, the two found a lot of evidence of the Celestial Masters' crimes. It was certain that Celestial Master Zhao was experimenting with the method of drawing talismans with people, but they did not know whether he was using his own blood essence as spiritual power or using the blood essence of others for his own use.
If it's the second scenario, then this likely involves a murder case.
The two continued their search and found several huge urns in a secret room, from which a faint cry for help could be heard.
Minglu frowned, sensing a familiar aura within the urn.
Nie Yuchen walked in, lifted the lid, and found someone he knew inside...
