Upon hearing this, everyone on the Golden Summit was startled. Even Zu An felt a jolt in his heart. How had Yun Jianyue's identity been exposed?
Qiu Honglei's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly looked at her master.
Yun Jianyue followed the gaze of the crowd and looked toward the main road leading up the mountain.
A group of people approached quickly, led by a disheveled middle-aged woman with a fierce appearance.
Normally, there would be nothing wrong with her appearance, but she just happens to look exactly like Elder Peng from Kongming Island.
Standing next to her was a young woman, equally ugly in a distinctive way.
Wan Guiyi of Biluo Palace widened his eyes in an instant. He had thought that this face had the beauty of a strong person. How could he forget it?
He quickly widened his eyes and looked at Qiu Honglei.
Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, the previously noisy Golden Roof suddenly fell silent.
Guan Chouhai and the others glanced at Yun Jianyue and his disciples, then at the other pair of teachers, Peng Chang and his disciples, and instinctively moved away from both sides.
"What's going on?" Zu An secretly asked via telepathy.
“I don’t know,” Yun Jianyue said with a solemn expression. “Something must have gone wrong at the place where I was holding them. Hmph, I should have silenced them if I had known.”
At this moment, the group of people also walked over. Guan Chouhai was taken aback: "Elder Lian?"
Another white-haired elder in the group cupped his hands in greeting: "Sect Leader Guan!"
Many people from the nine sects of Taoism had met this elder from Kongming Island and exchanged pleasantries with him.
However, everyone quickly realized the problem: what was going on with two Elder Pengs and two Peng Wuyans?
Wan Tongtian asked in a deep voice, "Elder Lian, what exactly is going on?"
Elder Lian glanced at the middle-aged woman beside him and said, "Junior Sister Peng, you speak."
Elder Peng then said, "This time I was ordered to bring Wu Yan to Zishan to participate in the once-in-a-decade Taoist Grand Competition. However, we were ambushed by the demonic sect members in an inn not far from Zishan and were imprisoned. For the next few days, they smeared some strange medicinal mud on our faces. Later we found out that they wanted to make masks to impersonate us."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze fell upon Yun Jianyue and his apprentice, their eyes filled with vigilance.
Yan Xuehen also looked at her in surprise. Could it really be Yun Jianyue?
What a small world!
Zuan was in a real bind. He hadn't even resolved Manman's matter yet, and now Yun Jianyue and Qiu Honglei were in trouble. He couldn't just walk away like this, so he had to wait and see what happened.
Yun Jianyue remained calm: "Nonsense! Elder Lian, you actually colluded with the demonic sect to slander us. You are truly a disgrace to Kongming Island!"
Elder Lian was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his wife: "Witch, you're talking nonsense!"
"Isn't that right? You were discovered to be colluding with the Demonic Sect before, and then you fled to escape punishment and betrayed Kongming Island. But now, when we are fighting for Kongming Island to win the best honor in its history, you come out to cause trouble. Just how much do you hate Kongming Island?" Yun Jianyue's barrage of questions left Elder Lian dumbfounded.
Zuan secretly admired Yun Jianyue. Since so many people knew that Elder Lian was from Kongming Island, Yun Jianyue wisely did not deny it. Instead, she directly declared that the other party had betrayed Kongming Island.
Kongming Island has been isolated overseas for many years and has not had close exchanges with other factions, so many people had never met Elder Peng before.
Therefore, even if the elders had truly betrayed Kongming Island, these people would not be able to verify it in a short period of time.
As expected, upon hearing her say this, the others also moved away from Elder Lian and his group, fearing that the other party might be a demon from the Demonic Sect in disguise.
"You witch, stop spouting nonsense!" Elder Lian was clearly not good with words, and Yun Jianyue retorted with the same few sentences over and over again, without providing any solid evidence.
"If I were really Yun Jianyue in disguise, I would have killed you all to silence you when I caught you before. Why would I give you the chance to ruin my plans?" Yun Jianyue snorted, but she was a little worried. The fact that these people could pull out their weapons meant that something had happened to the Holy Sect. She wondered what the situation was.
Upon hearing this, many people in the room nodded secretly. Indeed, it was rumored that Yun Jianyue was bloodthirsty, so how could he leave any survivors?
So he became wary of Elder Lian and his group.
Sensing the change in everyone's attitude, Elder Lian and his group became anxious. Elder Peng even cursed, "Who knows what evil scheme you're plotting by not killing us? The demonic sect members are always full of cunning tricks, how can we presume to know them?"
At this moment, Li Changsheng coughed lightly: "You probably don't know, but they have made it all the way to the finals and are the strongest contenders for the championship."
At this moment, Elder Peng laughed out loud: "Don't you know what capabilities Kongming Island has? Can the disciples we teach surpass those of sects with profound foundations like Zhengyang Sect, Baiyujing, Biluo Palace, Kunlunxu, and Lihentian?"
Hearing her say this, everyone was taken aback. They had thought Qiu Honglei's rapid rise through the ranks was too much of a dark horse, and now that they thought about it, it was indeed too strange and did not match the past strength of Kongming Island.
Only Peng Wuyan's face turned bright red with embarrassment. There was no need for the elders of their own clan to belittle her like that in order to prove themselves.
He's a top disciple of a sect, after all. Doesn't he have any self-respect?
Yun Jianyue reacted quickly: "What a joke! Things change every thirty years. After decades of hard work and dedication, and with the addition of a promising talent, what's so strange about our Kongming Island making a name for itself in the competition? On the contrary, you all look down on Kongming Island and claim that we are not demonic cultists!"
