"Also, Yuan Zhong is already dead."
Xiang Hongyu switched to voice transmission: "Don't make it public! There are other disciples around, it's not good to gloat over someone else's misfortune.
I know everything about you. It was you who got you into trouble. When I return to the sect, I will seek justice for you!
However, Yuan Zhong has another master, whose background I am not sure about yet. But don’t worry, I will definitely keep you safe.”
Xiang Hongyu took out another bottle of healing medicine and stuffed it into Xiang Sheng's hand, frowning and saying, "Your injuries are too severe to be healed in a short time. This medicine is the mildest. Take it first to stabilize your injuries, and then you can recuperate properly after returning to the sect."
Xiang Sheng was touched and nodded slightly.
As he spoke, Shu Gaoming had already controlled the Baiyun magic weapon to rise into the air.
The surrounding disciples saw Xiang Hongyu surrounding Xiang Sheng and asking about his well-being, and they couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Brother Xiang is really as the rumors say, a man who values affection. You don't usually see that."
"How do you look at it on a normal day? You're not a woman."
"Yes, Junior Brother, if you are as pretty as that little girl, I will definitely show my concern for you."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Everyone burst into laughter, Shu Gaoming also chuckled, and with a thought, the speed of the White Cloud Magic Weapon under his feet increased.
…
Two days later, Chiyan Sect.
A white cloud magic weapon fell from the sky and landed steadily on a circular platform on the top of the mountain.
As soon as the magic weapon fell, the entire Hefeng became lively.
"Big Brother is back!"
"Go and report to the Peak Master!"
“…”
Not long after Xiang Sheng stepped down from the Baiyun magic weapon, he saw an old man in a purple-gold robe flying out from the hall on the top of the mountain and landing in front of everyone.
Shu Gaoming bowed and called out "Master". The old man's expression relaxed slightly, "Your head master and the other uncles from the other peaks have been waiting for you. Come with me to the main peak hall."
Shu Gaoming's expression immediately stiffened, and he followed the old man into the air with his hands behind his back.
After the two disappeared from sight, the remaining disciples dispersed, and Xiang Sheng also followed Xiang Hongyu back to Dangchen Peak.
A moment later, in the main peak hall.
Shu Gaoming followed his master calmly into the hall. When his master sat down on the left, he glanced at the five people present and bowed, "True disciple Shu Gaoming, I pay my respects to the headmaster, uncle Zhao, uncle Yun, and Elder Dan."
"Master Ming, please get up quickly."
The old man at the head of the table spoke immediately, and after Shu Gaoming straightened up and raised his head, he continued:
"During the two days you were on your way back, the incident of Xuanwang City being frozen over had caused a huge uproar. The name 'Lu's Witch' spread throughout Dongzhou, and rumors were flying everywhere!
Some people also said that you would join the demonic cultivators in massacring the city and killing tens of thousands of independent cultivators?!
What happened to Wan Lingmo from Fengyue Sect? Someone saw you chasing him, but did you kill him?
What exactly happened in Xuanwang City? Please tell me in detail."
"Master, please be patient."
Shu Gaoming said this, suddenly kneeling on one knee, "I rushed to the aid of the Lu Kingdom, but was forced to retreat by Wan Lingmo, Xue Yunzi, and Li Jiade, three Jindan stage disciples. To protect the safety of the remaining disciples, I had no choice but to stand by and watch. I failed to protect Senior Brother Lu's homeland. I beg for your punishment, Senior Brother, the headmaster!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Master Zhao, who was sitting on the right, immediately showed displeasure on his face. The young woman behind him couldn't help but hum, "Cowardly rat!"
"Shut up."
Uncle Zhao scolded him harshly, "He's your senior brother, how can you speak so rudely?"
After being scolded by her master, the young woman's attitude immediately became more restrained, but her expression was still not very good.
"Brother, this matter cannot be blamed on Gao Ming."
Seeing Shu Gaoming unable to stand up from his knees, the old man in the purple-gold robe on his left couldn't help but say, "Two fists can't beat four hands. Gaoming is only in the early stage of Jindan, how can he fight three alone? Not to mention that Xue Yunzi is a notorious demon cultivator and is extremely difficult to deal with."
At this point, the old man sighed, "Speaking of this, I am also responsible. As the head of Crane Peak, I misjudged the enemy and caused Junior Brother Lu's hometown to end up like this. Alas..."
"Brother Gao, what you said is true."
A middle-aged scholar beside the old man shook his head and said, "If you are negligent in your supervision, wouldn't the headmaster be blamed as well? How do you expect the headmaster to deal with this?"
"Yunchang."
The headmaster frowned and shouted, and the middle-aged scholar immediately fell silent.
The headmaster turned his head to the right, his expression softening slightly: "Big Brother..."
The old man surnamed Zhao had a cold expression on his face. He raised his hand to stop the Sect Leader from continuing. "I know everything you want to say. You are the Sect Leader. It's up to you to decide how to handle this matter."
The headmaster frowned secretly. Seeing Shu Gaoming still kneeling on the ground motionless, he sighed softly and said, "You should get up first. Speaking of this matter...it was my fault for not noticing it. It's really not your fault."
