"Ancestor, I think they already know they were wrong, so why don't we let them go?"
Li Shenhai tried to ease the situation by saying, "If you kill them all, the entire sect will likely be paralyzed for a while."
"Ancestor Han! We know we were wrong. It was all a misunderstanding."
Li Zhongqiu was the first to beg for mercy.
"It was really a misunderstanding just now. Patriarch Han must have received instruction from Patriarch Situ to possess such strength."
"We hope the Ancestor will forgive what happened before. From now on, we will obey the Ancestor's orders. Please give us another chance."
"We were blind just now, unaware of the Ancestor's might and power. Please forgive us for offending the Ancestor."
...
Upon witnessing Han Feng's formidable strength, everyone's attitude immediately underwent a complete 360-degree change.
Han Feng sneered, "Just now you were all cursing me for betraying my master and ancestors, for not only killing my master Li Changsheng, but also for killing my ancestor Situ Changkong."
"It's all a misunderstanding. Li Changsheng was killed by people from the Star Moon Sect. Situ Changkong went to the secret realm."
Everyone offered an explanation in unison, afraid that if they were too late, they would anger Han Feng.
"Ancestor, everyone has said so, I think we should just let it go."
Li Shenhai didn't really want to help these people; his main concern was the stability of the sect.
"Many sects in Tiannan are now keeping an eye on us. In recent days, many disciples from these sects have disappeared. We should try our best to stabilize our sects."
"Elder Li, please don't speak yet. I understand what you mean."
Han Feng said with a chilling killing intent, "I know you're doing all this for the good of the sect, but if we don't remove the cancerous growths within, we simply won't be able to defend against external enemies."
Li Shenhai wanted to say something more, but in the end he sighed and remained silent.
He also knew that there had long been traitors among the inner elders of Huangfeng Valley.
These people enjoy the superior resources within their sect in normal times, but secretly they are doing things for other sects.
Situ Changkong was aware of this, but he chose to turn a blind eye.
Li Shenhai understood Situ Changkong's thoughts: as long as his interests were not affected, the fate of the sect was none of his concern.
He saw something different in Han Feng: compared to Situ Changkong's indifference towards the sect, Han Feng had feelings.
Perhaps Han Feng really can bring about a different change to Yellow Maple Valley.
"Li Zhongqiu, you were originally an elder of the Star Moon Sect, but later, because you were treated unfairly by the Star Moon Sect, you betrayed it and joined the Yellow Maple Valley," Han Feng asked sternly.
“Yes, the Star Moon Sect has gone too far. I, Li Zhongqiu, am so loyal to the Star Moon Sect, yet I am treated so harshly just because I offended the sect leader,” Li Zhongqiu said indignantly.
"You're quite the actor. From what I know, your descendants are still in the Star Moon Sect. After you betrayed the sect, you weren't tortured, but rather treated with respect. Can you explain that?"
"This...it's very possible that the Star Moon Sect's misfortunes didn't extend to their own families."
Sweat kept sliding down Li Zhongqiu's cheeks as he finally managed to find a flimsy excuse.
Do you even believe this reason yourself?
Han Feng sneered, "There's no need to explain. I wouldn't be interrogating you like this without sufficient evidence."
"After you joined Huangfeng Valley, you passed on intelligence to Xingyue Sect on multiple occasions. Among them, two inner sect elders, Zhao Yuchuan and Chen Yu, died at your hands."
"There are also two disciples who had a good chance of advancing to the Core Formation stage, but they have also mysteriously disappeared. Those two disciples disappeared while you were leading the team."
Li Zhongqiu began to tremble violently, and the intense pressure made it difficult for him to breathe.
"According to the sect's rules, those who betray the sect shall die!"
Han Feng drew his Purple-Green Sword to enforce the sect rules.
"You can't kill me! My grandfather is the Supreme Elder of the Star Moon Sect. You're going to kill him..."
Before Li Zhongqiu could finish speaking, his enormous head flew off.
A golden pill shot out from inside, trying to escape the council hall as quickly as possible.
Han Feng casually unleashed a sword aura, and the golden core exploded in mid-air.
Li Zhongqiu, an inside agent from the Star Moon Sect, was completely annihilated, both physically and spiritually.
When everyone saw Li Zhongqiu's dead body, they turned as pale as paper.
Han Feng was even more ruthless than Situ Changkong.
Even after Situ Changkong controlled Huangfeng Valley for eight hundred years, he never publicly killed an inner sect elder.
Li Zhongqiu was just the beginning; Han Feng had no intention of letting anyone here go.
He would never show mercy to anyone who caused significant damage to the sect's interests.
Han Feng took two steps forward and came to a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe.
"Elder Zhang Ping's cultivation level is at the mid-stage of Core Formation. He has cultivated in Huangfeng Valley for over five hundred years. Under bribery from the Spirit Beast Sect, he became their inside man."
"First, you betrayed your friend Jin Penghai and killed him as a pledge of allegiance to the Spirit Beast Sect. After that, you betrayed and killed many other talented disciples."
"What's most outrageous is that when you were presiding over the spiritual root test within the sect, you discovered a genius with a heavenly spiritual root. Instead of bringing him into the sect, you lured him to the Spirit Beast Sect."
Zhang Ping's face grew paler and paler until he collapsed to the ground.
He hadn't expected Han Feng to know so much detail; he was already doomed.
"You are an elder of Yellow Maple Valley, so I will give you a dignified way to die. Choose to commit suicide, and let your soul go to reincarnation."
Han Feng took two or three more steps forward and came to another inner sect elder.
At this moment, the inner sect elder was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and whether it was sweat or urine, the ground was completely wet.
"Old Master Han, I'm willing to confess. Can you spare my life?"
