"yes!"
Ruan Qingxia, the commander of the Misty Sect's guards, nodded and immediately ordered her subordinates, "Bring the Flying Horse and the Unicorn Steed up!"
The Pegasus has the body of a horse, the horn of a Qilin, and horny scales on its back.
These are demonic beasts raised by the Misty Sect. They have been tamed over thousands of years and can accompany the sect's army in battle.
At this moment, five fiery red winged horses were led onto the square.
Those around were immediately shocked.
The disciples, who had already lost control of their bladders due to the soul-searching, screamed in terror and begged for mercy.
When their scheme was exposed, they had considered the possibility of death, but they never imagined they would be executed so cruelly.
"Sect Master, spare my life!"
"Sect Master, spare my life!"
"The disciples were all ordered around!"
"..."
"This disciple was merely following orders; it's all Elder Sun (Zhao) (Qian) (Lin) (Liu) (...)'s fault!"
"Sect Master, spare my life! This disciple is innocent!"
"Sect Master, this disciple's crime does not warrant death!"
Hundreds of disciples begged for mercy in fear, pleading with Ye Qingcheng to spare them.
They felt that they were all innocent.
They simply obeyed the elders' orders.
At most, he might slander his senior brother; that's not a capital offense!
But Ye Qingcheng's face was full of murderous intent as she coldly said, "When you framed my disciple, did you ever think about today?"
"Execute!" Ye Qingcheng's voice rang out.
The plaza on Misty Peak instantly transformed into a brutal battlefield.
One by one, the disciples screamed in agony.
But it didn't work.
Under torture, their bodies were quickly torn to pieces, and they died on the spot.
Blood was everywhere.
Those around them were terrified.
As familiar fellow disciples died one by one, many onlookers nearly wet their pants.
"It was so tragic that Senior Brother Sun died like that."
"And what about Senior Brother Liu? I drank with him last night. I'm so close to him, won't I get implicated?"
"have no idea……"
"The sect leader looks terrifying right now."
"And what about these elders? Will they die too?"
"And those other deputy peak masters?"
"..."
"have no idea!"
Those around were terrified.
This was the first time they had ever seen their sect leader inflict such cruel punishments on his disciples.
But she happened to hold the ancestral sword and had made a vow.
Moreover, the power of the oath did not backfire on the sect leader.
This shows that what she did did not betray the sect.
The elders kneeling on the ground also became unsettled.
They pleaded with Ye Qingcheng together.
Ye Qingcheng sneered.
Without hesitation, he ordered Elder Zhan Taishan of the Judgment Peak to search the souls of each of these people.
The conclusion is...
Among these people, there were elders and even higher-ranking deputy peak masters.
They are all loyal to the same person, the "Lord".
"So many of you are all loyal to the Lord, are you plotting a rebellion?!"
Ye Qingcheng's face grew even colder, and a murderous aura emanated from her, enveloping everyone in the center of the square.
Even so, she still didn't know who this master was.
She didn't notice that the elders of Misty Peak standing behind her all looked rather grim.
At this moment.
After searching the soul of another deputy peak master, Zhan Taishan, the Grand Elder of the Judgment Peak, suddenly raised his head and reported to Ye Qingcheng: "Reporting to the Sect Master, although this person called 'Lord' is untraceable, these elders and deputy peak masters all have one thing in common."
"oh?"
Ye Qingcheng looked over and asked, "What is it?"
The First Elder, Zhan Taishan, glanced behind Ye Qingcheng and saw an elder standing there. He hesitated and said, "This subordinate dares not speak."
Ye Qingcheng was furious and said, "What is there to be afraid of? Elder Zhan, you are a generation older than me. Are you even hiding this from me?!"
Zhan Taishan shook his head and said, "Sect Master, this subordinate dares not."
After speaking, Zhan Taishan said solemnly, "These people have all communicated with an elder of Piaomiao Peak and reported some information! They mentioned that they wanted to frame my nephew Gu Jian."
Elder of Misty Peak?
Ye Qingcheng's face suddenly turned icy cold as she glanced at the elders behind her and asked, "Who is it?"
The people around were all shocked.
Upon hearing this, the elders of Misty Peak changed their expressions slightly.
"What?! This matter is related to Misty Peak?!"
"They all reported to the elders of Misty Peak. Could it be that the elder of Misty Peak is the mastermind behind this?"
"..."
The decision made by Elder Zhan Taishan, the chief judge, greatly surprised those around him.
I thought that seeing those disciples being brutally torn apart by five horses was already terrifying enough.
But surprisingly...
They suddenly realized that things had become very serious.
Even the elders of Misty Peak have gotten involved?
Could that be the "Lord"?
Are they really going to rebel?
Elder Zhan Taishan, the chief judge, also looked over. After a moment, he slowly said, "Elder Xu Jianjun, come out and explain."
Xu Jianjun is the second elder of Piaomiao Peak.
As she stepped out with a grim expression, a commotion erupted around her.
Ye Qingcheng's face also turned extremely gloomy.
She knew that the Second Elder, Xu Jianjun, had a problem, but because she was the Second Elder of the Misty Sect, she was not interrogated immediately.
Now, she's out.
Could she be the mastermind?
Ye Qingcheng was both heartbroken and furious. She said, "Second Elder, tell me, why did you harm my Jian'er?"
"Who exactly is that master?"
