"He's a boy with mixed spiritual roots. We only brought him into Qingfeng to find someone to serve Yuwei tea and water, so..."
snort!
"A person who serves tea and water? Senior brother, that sounds too nice!"
If Yan Yun were a fool, she would naturally believe that this was true.
Unfortunately, she isn't!
"Sect Leader, isn't this bullying the people of Qingfeng while I'm away? Who knows what kind of people they are, stuffing all sorts of people into Qingfeng? Isn't this ridiculous?"
Si Tianyi was a little embarrassed. Although the words sounded harsh, they were true in principle.
Xiao Feng became increasingly depressed!
Who knows I have a Heavenly Spiritual Root?
The system's voice echoed resentfully in Xiao Feng's mind.
【I know! 】
"roll!"
Okay!
"Junior Sister, you can't say that. The protective array for Qingfeng was all set up by you, my junior disciple. Although you have mixed spiritual roots, your abilities are outstanding, so..."
"So what? Senior Brother Sect Leader is saying that I haven't been treated unfairly?"
Yan Yun was even less polite, since she had no relationship with Xiao Feng and naturally wouldn't care about the life or death of a stranger.
Yan Yun is indeed protective of her own...
But they're protecting their own family!
"Senior Brother Lin, the sect leader has already told you the murderer, so you have nothing more to say, right?"
"Even if he's my apprentice, I'll compensate you!"
Xiao Feng was dumbfounded!
So they really don't care about me anymore!
Master!
We parted ways at Luanshigang back then?
Don't you remember?
The silent cry in my heart was of no use.
Lin Yuan was furious and angrily pointed at Xiao Feng's nose, cursing loudly.
"Junior Sister, are you joking with your senior brother like this? Your disciple is nothing but a good-for-nothing with mixed spiritual roots. Do you really want to exchange him for a disciple with my talent?"
"What kind of logic is this!"
Yan Yun glanced around, her gaze finally settling on Yue Yang.
Her thoughts were simple: as long as Yuwei was safe, nothing else mattered.
"If that's not enough for you, I just heard that Senior Brother Ouyang is also involved here. Isn't his eldest disciple someone who inscribes formations?"
Yue Yang shrank back, not daring to speak. He would naturally be willing to sacrifice himself for Zhao Yuwei, but this was clearly just making him die in vain.
You must be kidding!
I'm stubborn! Not stupid!
Seeing his disciple in this state, Ouyang Lie immediately shielded him behind him.
"This matter has nothing to do with my disciple. Besides, I only intend to punish my disciple by sealing him off on Chonghuo Peak after I finish transferring the array. If the sect leader doesn't believe me, he can go and ask him himself!"
"All the elders and disciples of Chonghuo Peak can testify!"
Lin Yuan was completely dumbfounded as he looked at the elders who were protecting their precious treasures so fiercely.
Could it be that Xiao Feng is really going to be exchanged for Ning Ziming?
This deal is a loss no matter how you look at it!
"How ridiculous! The Spirit Sword Sect should just disband now. It's a pity my disciple died in vain!"
Lin Yuan's face was full of anger as he cried out, and his meaning was very clear.
The sect leader should take charge!
Si Tianyi sighed deeply, then slowly began to speak.
"The elders have just made a decision: Xiao Feng and Na Yuwei will each receive five lashes!"
Lin Yuan raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, but Yan Yun showed no intention of agreeing.
"Senior brother, I..."
However, before Yan Yun could finish speaking, Si Tianyi interrupted her, saying, "But considering that the two disciples' cultivation is still shallow, if they were to actually endure the whipping, they might die. This punishment will be postponed for one year, during which time they can atone for their sins by performing good deeds!"
"If you haven't achieved anything after a year, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of relief, clearly aware that their cultivation levels would not be the same a year from now.
"Nonsense! Senior Brother Sect Leader, are you openly showing favoritism?"
Lin Yuan's eyes were red. His disciple's body was still lying in the main hall. He had come here to seek justice.
Now...
Justice has been lost!
Even if it's offered to you, you have to force yourself to eat it!
What's the logic behind this?
The pleading look fell on the other elders.
"Fellow disciples, do you really think this is acceptable?"
Ouyang Lie spoke first, perhaps out of fear of Yan Yun's tyranny, or perhaps to protect his foolish disciple, he agreed.
"I, Chonghuofeng, agree with the sect leader's decision!"
"Shui Yunfeng agrees!"
"Supreme Peak agrees!"
It was like a heavy hammer, banging down on Lin Yuan's body.
There's no turning back!
Yan Yun spoke last.
"Qingfeng, I agree!"
Si Tianyi's expression improved slightly, and he finally had a way out.
"Very well, since all the elders have reached a consensus, this matter is settled!"
Yan Yun sneered and led Xiao Feng and the other two back to Qingfeng.
However, as soon as they arrived at the door, Lin Yuan, as if out of nowhere, blocked their way again.
"What? Senior Brother Lin, are you still dissatisfied?"
Yan Yun looked at the person in front of her with amusement, seemingly not thinking she had done anything wrong.
"The past can be wiped clean, but Zhao Yuwei stole our Divine Sword Peak's Flowing Light Sword, and this matter cannot be left unresolved!"
He has already lost one of his apprentices!
It would be laughable if we were to hand over even the weapon of the Divine Sword Peak Ancestor.
Flowing Light Sword?
Upon hearing those three words, Yan Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but a moment later, they were filled with delight.
"Yuwei, have you accepted me as your master?"
Zhao Yuwei shook her head in a panic and pointed to Xiao Feng, who had been like a transparent person from beginning to end.
"Master, it's Junior Brother! Junior Brother has gained the approval of the Flowing Light Sword, so he has recognized it as his master!"
Yan Yun was quite surprised. She looked Xiao Feng up and down, and after pondering for a long time, she asked a question.
"Is what your senior sister said true?"
you...
Senior sister?
Happiness came so suddenly!
I've been accepted!
Not daring to linger, Xiao Feng unfastened the sword from his waist, held it in his hands, and offered it with both hands.
"Master, please look!"
Yan Yun took the sword, and the moment the blade was drawn from its sheath, a dazzling light flashed across the sky and earth.
The same weapon produced by a person with high cultivation level has different effects; in Xiao Feng's hands, it might create a field of light within a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) around him.
But in Yan Yun's hands, the world was filled with dazzling light and color.
It even has the aura of the ancient great master from Divine Sword Peak!
Terrifying!
"What a fine sword!"
Even Yan Yun, who had seen the world, couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
"Young man, you have such a fortunate opportunity, so you should treat it well. From now on, this Flowing Light Sword is yours!"
The elders around realized, upon seeing the dazzling light, that the person who had obtained the sword was none other than Xiao Feng, the mixed-elemental cultivator they had always looked down upon.
How did he get it?
The same question filled everyone's minds.
Of course, this excludes Lin Yuan.
"Junior Sister, are you saying you don't want to return it? This is a treasure of our Divine Sword Peak's ancient sages, are you just going to hand it over for nothing?"
