Bai Gucheng's eyelids twitched. "You're really amazing, and you're really smart."
"The reason why others don't take action is because they are waiting for you to take action. You think you are smart, but you are actually the most stupid."
"If Shu Jianyue doesn't return, then even if the Holy Star Sect obtains it, they will become the target of everyone's criticism."
"Tell me, how do you do it?"
Yang Rui recounted how she arranged for people to frame Shu Jianyue for the death of Ji Qianheng's younger brother, and how she then had people incite Ji Qianheng.
Bai Gucheng could only say that there are stupid people, and there are even stupider ones.
He looked at Yang Rui and said, "Shu Jianyue is no match for either of us. Even if the Fang family's ancestor came out, he probably wouldn't be a match for them."
"Now you either have to offer something enough to replace yourself in exchange, or you can find someone who can give her face and put in a good word for you."
"Otherwise, you'll only be sending yourself to your death."
In Bai Gucheng's view, neither of these was easy.
Yang Rui looked at Bai Gucheng and said, "Grandmaster, please save me! I'm doing this for our sect!"
Bai Gucheng sneered, "For the sake of the sect? Do you even believe that yourself?"
Can Yang Rui say he believes it? No.
If I don't want to die, I can only plead: "Grandmaster, no matter what, we are all in this together, one for the glory and the other for the loss. Please help me."
Bai Gucheng laughed at his words. "Heh, didn't you deny it to the death before? If you had apologized properly back then, they wouldn't have held onto it so stubbornly."
"Since you knew that we all share the same fate, why didn't you think of discussing it with everyone when you did these things?"
"There's no use saying anything now, just figure out a solution yourself."
"If you haven't figured out how to handle this matter by 5 a.m. tomorrow, then I'll have to use you to explain."
Bai Gucheng turned to look at the disciples and announced loudly, "From today onwards, Yang Rui will no longer be the sect leader of the Holy Star Sect. I will temporarily take over as sect leader for a period of time until a new sect leader is selected."
Upon hearing this, Yang Rui jumped up and said, "Grandmaster, although I made a mistake this time, you can't take away my position as sect leader."
Bai Gucheng glanced at him and said, "Heh, the entire Holy Star Sect is almost implicated because of you, and you still can't? Then what will it take?"
"If I hadn't arrived in time, how many of these elite inner disciples would have perished here?"
"A person who acts without considering the consequences and is selfish has no right to hold the position of sect leader."
Bai Gucheng bombarded Yang Rui with questions, and even though Yang Rui knew she was in the wrong, she couldn't admit it.
Just as he was about to retort, Fang Qianxun returned with Yang Yun.
Yang Rui was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward, saying, "Qian Xun, you're finally back."
"What happened? Why are you in such a sorry state?" Fang Qianxun didn't wait for his answer before looking at Bai Gucheng. Her cultivation level was higher than his, so she didn't take him seriously.
"Did you do it?"
Bai Gucheng sneered, "Heh, you should ask him what he did first."
"If we don't give Uncle Shu an explanation tomorrow, he won't survive when Uncle Shu comes looking for him."
"Uncle Shu?" Fang Qianxun looked at Yang Rui.
Yang Yun then thought of Shu Jianyue, "Is it that grandmaster uncle from the Hunyuan Immortal Sect?"
Fang Qianxun's face darkened immediately. She owed her current situation to her. "Didn't she go to the Eight Desolations? What happened?"
Yang Rui glanced at Bai Gucheng, then pulled Fang Qianxun aside and recounted the whole story.
Fang Qianxun didn't think much of what he had done, but she just couldn't understand why that woman had suddenly come back.
Why not just stay put in the Eight Desolations? Why come down here looking for a sense of existence?
Yang Rui glanced at Bai Gucheng and shook her head. "I don't know, but everything I've been planning for two or three years is gone because of her."
Fang Qianxun had never seen Fuchen Mountain, so she wasn't interested in it; what she really cared about was the Spirit Nourishing Pill.
Bai Gucheng glanced at the family, his lips twitching. Shu Jianyue was right; this family was no good.
Yang Rui used to seem like a good person, otherwise he wouldn't have become the sect leader, but I never expected him to be such a good actor and actor.
Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu returned to Fuchen Mountain with more than two hundred spirit beasts. Yun Guilai and Yun Guilou had already returned.
Seeing so many spirit beasts, they were all stunned for a moment, "Your Excellency..."
Shu Jianyue nodded and looked at the spirit beasts, saying, "Go back and rest. Be the same as before, and stay the same as before."
After the spirit beasts left, he looked at Yun Guilai and Yun Guilou and said, "You two take care of Fuchen Mountain for now. We still need to bring back the other spirit beasts."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yun Guilai and Yun Guilou immediately bowed and replied.
Shu Jianyue took Chong Jiu out again and brought back three spirit beasts. Fortunately, they all voluntarily terminated their contracts.
The next day, Shu Jianyue didn't go out, waiting to see how Bai Gucheng and Yang Rui would explain things to her.
She didn't necessarily want to kill Yang Rui, but if he remained incorrigible, keeping him alive would only be a menace.
She waited until almost noon, but no one came.
Shu Jianyue laughed and then left Fuchen Mountain. Instead of going to the Holy Star Sect, she went to find other spirit beasts.
Chongjiu didn't go out with her this time, but stayed on Fuchen Mountain.
For some reason, the seal on my cultivation level suddenly loosened today.
Chong Jiu knew his own abilities better than anyone, so how could the seal suddenly loosen?
So this time he didn't go out with Shu Jianyue, but stayed at Fuchen Mountain to check on his condition.
It took Shu Jianyue three days to bring back all the spirit beasts that had not come of their own accord.
And the Holy Star Sect has remained silent ever since.
Chong Jiu is still in seclusion, while Yu Zhong and Yan Xi have been heading to Fengxian Kingdom with Wu Yan these past few days, so we haven't seen any of their people in the past few days.
Shu Jianyue had been running around a lot before, but now that things have suddenly quieted down, she feels a little unaccustomed to it.
So after settling things on Mount Fuchen, he went to the Holy Star Sect to save face—no, to make a scene.
Upon arriving at the Holy Star Sect, I found the atmosphere quite strange; all the disciples seemed listless.
Shu Jianyue pulled one of her disciples aside and asked, "What's wrong with you all?"
This disciple happened to have seen her before. He looked at her and pouted, saying, "The sect leader's wife crippled the patriarch and hung him in front of the main hall."
"Fang Qianxun is here?" Shu Jianyue used her spiritual power to look over, and the old man was hanging from a pillar in front of the main hall, wearing only an undergarment.
Even killing someone is just a matter of beheading them, yet Fang Qianxun dared to insult an old man like this!
Using his mental power to bind Bai Gucheng, he found Yang Rui and Fang Qianxun and immediately teleported there.
With one kick, Yang Rui, who was drinking tea, was sent flying.
