"I told you to shut up!"
Flames were visible to the naked eye from Ouyang Lie's body, and smoke was coming out of his mouth as he spoke.
Xiao Feng then understood why the chair under Ouyang Lie's buttocks was different from the other elders' chairs; it was so hot that even stone would melt.
"Master, I..."
Yueyang wanted to explain something, but Ouyang Lie abruptly interrupted him halfway through his sentence.
"I told you to get lost!"
He nodded tremblingly, but Yueyang's body did not move at all.
Just as Ouyang Lie was about to forcibly take his disciple away, Si Tianyi slowly spoke.
"Elder Ouyang, since Yueyang says he's involved in this matter, we should listen carefully. What do you think?"
In an instant, the flames on Ouyang Lie's body disappeared. Although he still had an angry expression, he was helpless.
He could only watch helplessly as his apprentice ruined his own future!
"Yueyang, tell me, what does this have to do with you?"
Yueyang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite pleased with himself. After all, he was able to share both joy and sorrow with Zhao Yuwei, and that was enough.
"Sect Leader, I am willing to take the Thundercloud Whip for Senior Sister!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lie was thoroughly enraged. Before even explaining what mistake he had made, they were already discussing punishment. Wasn't this a joke?
"Nonsense! What crime have you committed? And why should you bear the blame for others?"
Yueyang braced himself and spoke up.
"The protective array of Qingfeng was entirely created by this disciple alone. If Ning Zimo dies, then this matter is also related to this disciple alone!"
"I beg you, Master, to spare my life; I am willing to endure all the whippings!"
Lin Yuan's eyes grew increasingly gloomy. He never imagined that the life and death of his disciple was related to Chonghuo Peak.
"Senior Brother Sect Leader, on the day this happened, I confined my disciple on the mountain because of his careless drawing of array formations. I have already punished him, so please do not punish him again!"
Which master wouldn't side with their apprentice?
Although Ouyang Lie was always disappointed in Yue Yang, it was undeniable that Yue Yang was his favorite disciple.
There is none other than this!
Yueyang had followed him since childhood and had developed the ability to store spiritual energy, all thanks to his teachings.
It's like raising a child yourself, and now that the child is going to suffer, who would be willing to accept that?
However, Yueyang, to his dismay, had a straightforward expression and not only showed no appreciation, but also stubbornly spoke up.
"Master, please stop talking, I am guilty!"
"I don't want my senior sister to suffer nine lashes alone. Please, Sect Leader, grant me this request. I am willing to take eight lashes in her place!"
Nonsense!
This is utterly ridiculous!
Ouyang Lie rushed straight to the main hall and grabbed Yue Yang, trying to leave.
"What do you take this council hall for? It's not a place where you can just say whatever you want!"
Ouyang Lie clenched his fists. He knew that if his disciple were to actually take those eight lashes, he would probably be reduced to ashes.
Moreover, Yueyang had been forced to draw a spirit-gathering array by me, so his body is definitely not the same as before. If he were at his peak, he could barely survive, but now he is doomed.
Seeing Yue Yang's straightforward manner, Zhao Yuwei gave a wry smile and respectfully bowed to him.
Then he looked at Elder Ouyang beside him.
"Elder Ouyang, Senior Brother Yueyang, this matter has nothing to do with you. It is a matter for Qingfeng Peak itself!"
"I appreciate your kind intentions, but please don't get involved!"
How could Yuwei possibly refuse me?
wrong!
She feels sorry for me!
Yueyang's face turned red instantly, and he stammered as he spoke.
"Senior...Senior Sister...I...."
Seeing this, Lin Yuan spoke up directly.
"Yueyang, if you're really that brave, why don't you just take four lashes for Xiao Feng? His body, with its mixed spiritual roots, definitely can't withstand it!"
After being provoked by Lin Yuan, Ouyang Lie could no longer hold back and stood in front of Yue Yang, and they started arguing.
"Nonsense! What wrong has my disciple done? Even if he has done something wrong, I have already punished him accordingly. What does it have to do with you?"
"Senior Brother Ouyang, perhaps you also want to learn Junior Sister's protective nature?"
"Pshaw? Him? He's just a brute!"
"Can we discuss serious matters? We are talking about the deaths of the disciples of Divine Sword Peak. These two men's crimes cannot be treated so lightly; they must die!"
If what I said before was just a cover-up, what I'm about to say is an explicit statement.
Xiao Feng could tell that the ultimate goal of everyone present was to make him and his senior sister pay for Ning Zimo's life.
On what grounds?
A foolish sect leader, plus countless scheming elders.
This created the Spirit Sword Sect, which couldn't distinguish right from wrong!
nausea!
That's absolutely disgusting!
"Is the prestigious Spirit Sword Sect unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
A roar drew everyone's attention to Xiao Feng.
Zhao Yuwei, her face filled with panic, grabbed Xiao Feng's arm and tried to cover his mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Feng simply turned his head away, deciding not to kneel anymore, as he was an innocent person.
Why must one kneel?
"How dare you!"
"presumptuous!"
The surrounding elders glared angrily, and two elders from the Enforcement Hall slowly stepped forward.
A terrifying aura pressed down on Xiao Feng in an instant.
But so what?
Xiao Feng could feel his joints cracking, but he still kept his back straight.
I'd rather die than kneel!
I originally thought this farce would be over and done with, but it turned out to be serious.
Then let's just lay everything out in the open!
"You elders are all in cahoots, playing both the good cop and the bad cop, all you want is to take my and my senior sister's lives, isn't it?"
"What's with all the high-sounding talk? If you want my life, just come and take it!"
Wang Chongming stood up, wishing he could rush up to Xiao Feng and twist his head off.
Since the establishment of the sect, no disciple has ever dared to be so arrogant as to insult the elders of the six peaks at the same time.
That's suicide!
"It was you Qingfeng who committed the murder, how dare you speak so righteously?"
Xiao Feng was not afraid at all. He straightened his body and took a step forward.
Suddenly, a sweet and fresh sensation surged onto my tongue.
He gritted his teeth, and his once white teeth were now turning red!
What Xiao Feng couldn't see was that blood had already seeped from his ears, nose, and even the corner of his eye.
"Ning Zimo!"
"They deserved to die!"
It was like a thunderbolt that struck the hall!
A long silence followed!
The two elders of the Enforcement Hall also withdrew their techniques and turned their gazes to the sect leader.
"Are you trying to defy the heavens? Elders, take him down and beat him to death with the Thundercloud Whip!"
Xiao Feng snorted coldly and spat out the blood in his mouth, the crimson blood staining the corners of his lips.
"No need!"
"I can walk by myself!"
