Beast Taming·Chapter 114: Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate

Mingxiang stood at the entrance of Dongleng Valley with an uneasy look on her face. When she saw Shi Yan coming out, she took Shi Yan's hand and flew into the air without saying a word.

Shi Yan was puzzled and asked quickly, "Sister Mingxiang, what's going on? You are so anxious. This is not like Mingxiang who is usually calm, generous and elegant."

Mingxiang turned around and glared at him, saying unhappily, "It has come to this point, and you still have the mind to joke! Come with me quickly, or it will be over if you are late."

Shi Yan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Mingxiang so nervous and anxious, could something really have happened?

He hurriedly asked, Mingxiang sighed and said solemnly, "People from Zhongtong Jianmen came to our door."

"Zhongtong Jianmen?"

“That’s right!” Mingxiangshen showed a rare panic. In Shiyan’s memory, Mingxiang had always been a steady big sister. This was the first time he had seen Mingxiang like this. It seemed that the situation was really very serious. She continued, “The matter of Baimu Forest has been exposed, and now the people from Zhongtong Jianmen have come to our door!”

"What!" Shi Yan frowned deeply. Ever since he drove Zhong Yue away that day, he had already considered that one day he would find him back. However, Shi Yan estimated that it would take about two months. He didn't expect that it would come so long in advance.

The scenery beneath my feet quickly receded, and the Dongleng Valley behind me went away so quickly that in the blink of an eye, it could no longer be seen clearly.

"No, it's not that simple. If it's really just someone from Zhongtong Jianmen questioning you, there's no need to panic, right?" Shi Yan stopped abruptly, grabbed Mingxiang, and asked solemnly, "Sister Mingxiang, it's not that simple, right? You must be hiding something from me."

Because of Shi Yan's sudden stop, her body paused and she fell backwards into Shi Yan's arms. She broke free with a blushing face, not daring to look directly at Shi Yan, "Since you call me Sister Mingxiang, you treat me as your sister, and I always treat you as my brother. Do you think a sister would harm her brother?"

Shi Yan shook his head, looked into Mingxiang's eyes and said, "You know that's not what I meant. What are you trying to hide by making such a joke?"

Mingxiang didn't dare to look into his eyes. His eyes were as bright as stars, exuding a kind of wisdom that made people dare not look directly at them, as if he could see the secrets in her heart from his eyes.

Seeing her evasive, Shi Yan knew that his guess was correct, "It seems that I guessed right, Senior Sister Mingxiang, you really are hiding something from me."

His address changed from Sister Mingxiang to Senior Sister Mingxiang. Although there was only one character difference, the meaning was very different. The word "senior sister" pulled the distance between the two people apart a lot, as if they were very far away in an instant.

Mingxiang bit her red lips slightly, frowned, turned her head away and said nothing.

Shi Yan saw her like this and sighed, "It seems that Senior Sister is determined not to tell me, so I will go and see for myself!"

After saying that, he let go of her hand, floated in the air, glanced at Mingxiang, turned around and flew away, heading towards the main hall of the main peak.

Mingxiang screamed, stunned, and looked at Shi Yan in disbelief as he flew away without any external aid. She opened her mouth and could not speak. She was extremely surprised, "Flying in the air, isn't this something that only a cultivator who has established a foundation can do? Could it be..."

Although she was surprised, she was more delighted. It had only been a short time for Shi Yan to cultivate from the third level of Huamai to the foundation building level. Judging from his proficiency in flying, it was obvious that his cultivation was not lower than hers!

A full eight levels, eight levels higher in a short period of time, only a genius can do this!

How could she bear to let such a good seedling die here? Mingxiang took a deep breath and chased after Shi Yan.

At this moment, in the main hall of the peak, Hua Ruo stood in the hall with a unfriendly look on her face, glancing at the people sitting below.

All those present were people at the top of the pyramid of Huajian Sect, respected and admired people. But at this moment, they were stretching their necks and shouting and cursing like ordinary people.

"Shut up, do you think this is the market?" Tang Xi suddenly stood up and shouted, and the hall suddenly became quiet. Tang Xi turned around, looked at Hua Ruo, and said in a deep voice, "Master, this matter may endanger the survival of our sect, please let the master make the decision."

The others reacted and responded, "Yes, please let the leader decide."

Hua Ruo took a few steps back, sat on the headmaster's chair, looked at the people below, and said nothing.

Under Hua Ruo's gaze, everyone felt uneasy. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Finally, everyone looked at Tang Xi. Among all the people, only Tang Xi dared to look directly at the headmaster.

"Hmph!" Hua Ruo snorted in her heart. She saw everything that happened below, even the eye contact. "You haven't improved at all. You've been using the same trick to force me to abdicate for so many years. But do you think I'm really afraid of you?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Tang Xi nodded slightly, cleared his throat, stood up and said, "Master, now the overlord of Zimu Liuhua Territory, the law enforcement elder of Zhongtong Jianmen, and many disciples are blocking the mountain gate, wanting to ask for an explanation, which is really too much. But all the reasons are caused by the master's disciple Shi Yan. Shi Yan not only injured Zhong Yue, the disciple of the law enforcement elder of Zhongtong Jianmen, but also killed several inner disciples. The seriousness of the matter is far beyond expectations."

"Yes!" A man on the right stood up and said, "Zhongtong Sword Sect is the largest sect in Zimu Liuhua Territory. If we anger him, I'm afraid it will lead to the destruction of the sect."

"Shi Yan is such a scoundrel. He has only just become an inner sect disciple and he has already created such a big hole."

"I really don't know what the headmaster likes about him. He actually ignored the sect rules and accepted him as a disciple. Moreover, he is a useless person in the Meridian Transformation Stage." After hearing what the two said, the subordinates whispered, "It would be fine if he is just a useless person, but he has caused such a big trouble for the sect. I am afraid that even if we hand Shi Yan over, it will not be able to calm the anger of Zhongtong Jianmen."

Although their voices were low, Hua Ruo heard every word they said. Regardless of whether they intended for Hua Ruo to hear or not, their dissatisfaction with Shi Yan was obvious.

Tang Xi acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said loudly, "Zhongtong Jianmen wants us to hand over Shi Yan within one stick of incense. Now most of the incense has burned out. I wonder if the leader has made a decision. Is it for the sake of the sect, should he hand over Shi Yan, or... keep him?" Tang Xi looked straight at Hua Ruo. Although he didn't finish his words, everyone present understood the implication of his words.

She was forcing the leader to make a decision, but both ends of the decision were disadvantageous to her.

Not only did she lose her disciples, she also gained a bad reputation for not being able to protect her disciples, which proved that her decision to accept Shi Yan as a disciple was a big mistake and damaged the reputation of Huajian Sect. As the head of the sect, how could she still be the head of the sect if she couldn't even maintain the reputation of the sect?

If he doesn't hand it over, it means he is disregarding the survival of the sect because of his own selfish desires, and he will be even less able to sit on the position of the head of the sect.

"Whether you hand it over or not, no matter what choice you make, you will reveal your flaws." An imperceptible sharp light flashed in Tang Xi's eyes, and he sneered in his heart, "I have waited for so many years, just waiting for an opportunity, a chance for you to reveal your flaws, and today I finally got it!"

"Hua Ruo, the position of the head is mine! It's been twelve years, twelve whole years. I, Tang Xi, have been waiting for twelve whole years! Twelve years ago, Hua Ruo suddenly appeared in Huajian Sect, and the master passed the position of the head to you instead of me, his disciple. On what basis, Hua Ruo, on what basis! I hate it!" Her hair hung down, covering her eyes, but Tang Xi's gaze did not shift at all because of the hair. She looked at Hua Ruo with a look that seemed to be spitting fire. It was conceivable how much resentment she had accumulated in her heart over the past twelve years.

"Whether to hand it over or not, please decide, Master!" Tang Xi straightened his body and asked loudly.

The voice was gloomy, covering the hall like a dense cloud, lingering endlessly.

"Make your choice. Which of the traps on the two sides will you jump into?" Tang Xi sneered.

Hua Ruo smiled slightly, slowly stood up, opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was like the most beautiful song of the bird, the oriole, which reached everyone's ears.

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the hall. It was at the entrance of Huajian Valley, where the mountain gate was.

"The time of one stick of incense has come. I wonder what Sect Leader Hua has considered?"

The sound was like thunder from the sky, rolling in and echoing over and over again in the Huajian Valley, and it took a long time before it slowly dissipated.

"What a powerful spiritual power! He is worthy of being the law enforcement elder Tuoba Yuhong of Zhongtong Jianmen!" Hua Ruo smiled and said.

"This is just a small Taoist, he is not as good as you in teaching!" Tuoba Yuhong snorted coldly, "The time of an incense stick has passed. What exactly is Master Hua thinking? Let me, Tuoba, listen to it!"

"Humph, Tuoba Yuhong, you are indeed a member of the Tongjian Sect, the largest sect in Zimu Liuhua Territory. You can block anyone you want!"

Tuoba Yuhong shouted, "There is no point in talking any more. Hand over Shi Yan, or I will tear down your mountain gate and destroy your palace!"

"What if I don't hand it over?" Hua Ruo said in a cold voice without any expression, her eyes staring outside the hall, looking directly at Tuoba Yuhong through several miles.

"You won't hand it over?" Tuoba Yuhong was furious, and he flew up and slapped him, "Then don't blame me for being angry!"

The huge hand covered the sky and sun, and came straight down. Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color, the wind howled, and the trees in the mountains and forests were blown up and flew up, and the whole place was in a mess.

"Old man, do you really think that my Huajian sect is easy to bully!" Hua Ruoru flashed like a flash of lightning, rushed out of the hall, raised her white jade hand, and greeted Tuoba Yuhong.

"boom!"

The two palms collided, making a loud noise and sound waves that shattered several mountains around Huajian Sect.

Tuoba Yuhong frowned slightly, staring at Hua Ruo who was strolling leisurely a few miles away. He couldn't believe that his 50% palm power was taken by her so easily. Moreover, there was not even a speck of dust on her body!

He couldn't help but put away his contempt and began to look at this woman whom he had always looked down upon, the leader of a small sect, Hua Ruo!
