When Lu Wangcheng saw Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu, his expression changed for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, so quickly that no one noticed.
Shu Jianyue glanced at Lu Wangcheng and said indifferently, "Does this kind of thing really need me to come out and witness it?"
"Master Qiu is, after all, the head of a sect, and with Yuan Xiao's testimony, shouldn't he be executed?"
Qiu Zhengqi shook his head with a look of shame, "I have trusted this boy since I brought him back, and I never thought he would do such a thing."
"My trust has caused a misunderstanding among the sect elders. For example, the Second Elder and the Third Elder both think that I am going to discard them after they have served their purpose."
"Heh, the donkey is yours to raise, so what if you kill it? Why do you need their permission?" Shu Jianyue looked at the Second Elder and the Third Elder. "Besides, if he could poison Junior Sister this time, then he can poison Master next time."
"After all, the dog has already started to bite its owner back. Even if you spare it, it will still hold a grudge."
Lu Wangcheng looked at Shu Jianyue with hatred in his eyes. Seeing this, Chong Jiu slapped him across the air, "If you look again, I won't mind gouging out those restless eyes for you."
Lu Wangcheng's head was knocked to the side, and his slightly lowered eyes were filled with hatred that looked like they were about to burst.
The second and third elders exchanged a glance and said, "Sect Master, Wang Cheng is your disciple, someone you've taught since he was a child. How can you allow him to be humiliated like this?"
"Besides, it is the father's fault if he does not teach his son well. Although Wang Cheng is not your son, you have taught him since he was a child, haven't you?"
Qiu Yuanxiao looked at the Second Elder speechlessly and said, "When my father brought him back, he was already eleven years old, and his personality had already been formed by then."
“If he hadn’t hidden himself well, my father wouldn’t have made the mistake of bringing him back.”
"The Second and Third Elders are quite something, they've been completely won over by him. From now on, they might as well just follow Lu Wangcheng around and forget about being elders..."
"Nannan, don't talk nonsense." Although the latter words touched Qiu Zhengqi's heart, the former words had pierced his heart. Even though he had misjudged him, there was no need to say it out loud.
The Second Elder pointed a trembling finger at Qiu Yuanxiao and said, "Sect Leader, this is the good daughter you raised!"
Qiu Zhengqi's face immediately turned cold as he glared at him. "What did my daughter say wrong? Or have I been too lenient with you, allowing you to criticize my daughter at will?"
"Sect Leader, you should know that your position as Sect Leader can be vacated by the elders," the Third Elder said coldly.
That being said, not all elders were on their side; at most, these words had only a threatening effect.
"Heh, then you can try." Qiu Zhengqi wasn't afraid of them causing trouble. If they did, he would have a chance to get rid of these meddlesome elders.
With his own strength and the support of his ancestors, no matter how much they try to stir things up, they won't be able to make any waves.
The Third Elder's face darkened. "Qiu Zhengqi, you cannot use your position as the sect leader to disregard the bonds between fellow disciples and punish them without evidence. Wouldn't that discourage them?"
Shu Jianyue couldn't stand such fuss and nagging, so she said directly, "Are you blind? Isn't this proof that I'm here?"
"Or have you always disregarded me?"
The Third Elder's jaw muscles twitched. He couldn't see through her cultivation level, and Qiu Zhengqi was being so polite to her, so naturally he didn't dare to confront her directly.
"No, Venerable One, it's just that Xiao Xiao is alright. Since she's alright, let's just let it go."
"Hehe, forget it. I'll just strip you naked and throw you at the sect gate. Anyway, you're not going to get away with this, so can we just let it go?" Qiu Zhengqi laughed in anger, and slapped Lu Wangcheng's dantian with his palm, catching the Second Elder and Third Elder off guard.
"Ah..." Lu Wangcheng screamed, his nascent soul leaving his body, glaring at Qiu Zhengqi with resentment.
The person in question immediately fainted.
Chong Jiu glanced at the Nascent Soul cultivator, then looked away.
The Second Elder immediately stepped forward and used his spiritual power to nourish Lu Wangcheng's nascent soul, then scolded Qiu Zhengqi: "You are the sect leader of Kongdingyun Sect, yet you secretly harm people."
Qiu Zhengqi looked at them coldly, "Heh, I, the sect leader, openly and honestly crippled his cultivation in front of you, how is that considered secretly injuring someone?"
After speaking, he transmitted his voice to the other elders, and then summoned the ancestors who were not in seclusion.
After finishing these tasks, she turned to Chong Jiu and Shu Jianyue and said, "Sect Masters, let Nannan show you around the Kongdingyun Sect. I'll come find you after I've finished these chores."
Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu exchanged a glance. This was a good opportunity to go and see Kongming Mountain, so they nodded, got up, and went out.
Qiu Yuanxiao immediately grabbed Yan Xi and ran outside, with Wu Yan chasing after them.
Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu deliberately slowed their pace. "Where are we going now?"
Chong Jiu shook his head. "We'll go after everyone has arrived at the main hall."
Shu Jianyue sent a telepathic message to Yan Xi, telling her to take Qiu Yuanxiao away, as she had something to do.
Yan Xi agreed without hesitation, letting Qiu Yuanxiao take her around the Kongdingyun Sect, truly taking her further and further away from them.
Shu Jianyue and Chong Jiu waited for a while to make sure there were no people there before they teleported to Kongming Mountain.
Upon arriving at Kongming Mountain, Chongjiu immediately walked in one direction, then stopped in front of a tombstone, gazing at it in silence.
"What's wrong? In this grave?" Shu Jianyue asked, noticing that he was staring at the tombstone.
Chong Jiu shook his head and said, "That's it."
Shu Jianyue stared in astonishment at the tombstone in front of her. "This is the tombstone?"
He nodded repeatedly during the moxibustion treatment.
Shu Jianyue thought of the previous vessel and her brows furrowed. So there were even more outrageous ones.
"Please release the seal quickly."
Chong Jiu shook his head and said, "We can't remove it now, otherwise it will be easy for the other party to find out."
"Then we have to get rid of this thing?" Shu Jianyue looked at the words on the tombstone. This shouldn't be easy to get rid of.
"How can we take this with us? This is someone's ancestor's tombstone. Won't it cause trouble if we steal it?"
Chong Jiu glanced at her and said irritably, "What are you thinking? Just change it."
Shu Jianyue coughed lightly and asked, "Are you going to forge an identical tombstone now?"
Chong Jiu nodded, "Keep an eye on it for me, I'll refine an identical one now."
"Alright." Shu Jianyue stepped aside, spreading her spiritual energy to observe the surrounding movements and the activities inside the main hall.
With the patriarchs taking action, the second and third elders naturally couldn't cause trouble for long. In addition, Lu Wangcheng was already crippled and had no use, so the patriarchs didn't hesitate to expel him from the Kongdingyun Sect.
The Second and Third Elders were both punished by being forced to guard Kongming Mountain for a hundred years.
The matter at the main hall of Shujian Yuejian was over. Fearing that someone might come, he used his mental power to collapse the mountain furthest from Kongming Mountain.
To her surprise, that mountain happened to be the treasure vault of the Kongdingyun Sect.
What she didn't expect was that someone nearby had sneaked in and, upon seeing the exposed magical treasure, rushed towards it frantically.
