Chapter 23 Another infuriating day
Bai Ruoqian and the others searched for Ye Luo's whereabouts for a long time without success. They knew that he was deliberately hiding and was probably up to something bad. They could only wait for him to appear in the secret room.
However, Bai Ruoqian did not expect that when she arrived at the stone door of the secret chamber, it was crowded with people from various sects.
"What are you doing here?" Su Yuyuan asked.
"What do you think?" a disciple of the War Sect sneered. "We heard you were going to keep the treasure for yourselves, so we came here!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyuan looked at Bai Ruoqian and whispered, "Junior Sister, what do we do now?"
A female disciple from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect crossed her arms and said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and open the door right now!"
Bai Ruoqian was furious, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred. That damned Ye Luo, how come she never realized he was so annoying before?!
A male cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, holding a spirit snake, chimed in, "Yes, hurry up and open the door! The seven days are almost up, we need to get out of here quickly!"
"Yes, stop dawdling and open the door!"
The Tianfeng Sect instantly became the target of everyone's criticism. At this moment, Bai Ruoqian cursed Ye Luo hundreds of times in her heart and said angrily, "I can't open it, there's only half a key!"
"Who are you trying to fool?"
"She's not kidding you, her other half is with me."
Ye Luo's voice rang out as he led Cen Feng in leisurely. Meeting everyone's gaze, he clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Junior brother is Ye Luo from Peach Blossom Valley. I accidentally obtained half a key and felt that I should share it with you all, so I invited you here."
"Oh, I see."
"Peach Blossom Valley? Does our Immortal Alliance even have such a sect?"
"That name sounds familiar. It seems to be that small sect that always came in last place in every major competition. But they haven't sent anyone to the competitions in recent years. I thought they had been kicked out of the Immortal Alliance."
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Su Yuyuan drew his sword and was about to rush forward when Bai Ruoqian stopped him, saying, "We can't touch him now!"
If they were to fight in front of the major sects, the Tianfeng Sect would likely be branded with a reputation for murder and robbery, which would be even more of a loss.
"Ye Luo, I'll kill you sooner or later!"
Seeing this, everyone understood what was going on. A disciple from the War Sect stepped forward and laughed heartily, "Kid, I like your righteousness and generosity! Unlike some selfish people who want to secretly keep it all for themselves!"
"Exactly, they always boast about being from a prestigious sect and act superior to everyone else, but they've secretly done a lot of dirty things, haven't they?"
Bai Ruoqian and the others froze on the face. She glared at Ye Luo and smiled, "Fellow Daoists, this sect will be opened for you, but our Tianfeng Sect must deal with this person first."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo frowned. "Oh, you want to kill me?"
A disciple of the War Sect stepped forward and said, "If you dare to act recklessly, I'll be the first to object!"
"This is a private matter of the Tianfeng Sect. We are merely cleaning up our own ranks. Please, fellow Daoists, do not interfere!"
"Clean house?"
"That's right!" Bai Ruoqian pointed at Ye Luo angrily and said, "Senior Brother Ye, you went down the mountain without Master's permission and joined another sect. Not only that, but now you dare to harm your fellow disciples. This is simply outrageous!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhanzong disciples who had originally wanted to step forward to help now had no legitimate reason to do so and could only retreat.
Ye Luo nodded and smiled at them, then glanced at Bai Ruoqian and sneered:
"Fellow disciples? No, no, no, I can't accept that. You all know how I came down the mountain." Ye Luo glanced at Su Yuyuan. "Or would you like to tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyuan's face showed guilt, and he pointed the tip of his sword at him angrily, saying, "Master is right! You are an ungrateful wretch!"
"How ridiculous! Fu Zhenghan, as my master, beats and scolds me at the drop of a hat, while you, as my senior brothers, also bully me in every way. What kindness do you have to speak of?"
"Besides, when you forcibly took my spiritual herbs that day, severely injured me, and knocked me off the cliff, Fu Zhenghan was standing in the shadows watching. How dare he say such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd began to whisper among themselves, surprised by what had happened to Ye Luo, and they all began to sympathize with her.
Su Yuyuan angrily retorted, "You're talking nonsense!"
Cen Feng, who was standing to the side, did not expect that Ye Luo would be treated like this in the Tianfeng Sect. No wonder his second senior sister said that he had many old injuries. Could this be the reason?
"Bullshit!" Cen Feng released his puppet and roared, "Ye Luo is now my Peach Blossom Valley's junior brother. You dare to touch him!"
"So that's how it is. They survived a great calamity, and now they're not allowed to leave the Tianfeng Sect?" a disciple of the Zhanzong Sect sneered.
"Exactly, the style of the Tianfeng Sect... tsk tsk tsk, it's really not something to be proud of."
Su Yuyuan stepped forward angrily and said, "You from the War Sect, are you trying to cause trouble?!"
"So what if it is? Are you afraid of me?"
Most of the disciples of the Battle Sect were martial arts and physical cultivators. Each of them was not only tall but also exceptionally strong. When they took a few steps forward, the aura of the Heavenly Wind Sect was clearly weaker.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a loud "boom" resounded, the side of the stone wall was pierced, rocks flew out, and a disheveled man in blue clothes darted out, followed closely by a woman in red clothes.
"Senior Brother Yu Xuan!"
"Third Senior Sister!"
The people from Xuanwu Palace stepped forward and protected the long-missing Yu Xuan, angrily saying, "You crazy woman, what exactly do you want?"
Upon seeing Ye Luo and the other two, Yu Qianling was overjoyed: "Oh! Fifth Junior Brother, Little Junior Brother, they're still alive and kicking!"
"..."
Ye Luo and Cen Feng exchanged a glance, both speechless, and asked, "Third Senior Sister, where have you been these past few days?"
Yu Qianling pointed the tip of his spear at Yu Xuan and said, "I'm hunting down this heartless man! Didn't you say you'd kill him on sight?"
"So these past few days... you've been doing this all along?"
"Yeah, this guy's going to be tough to kill."
"..."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Yu Xuan, the direct disciple of Xuanwu Palace.
He always appeared handsome, aloof, and arrogant in public, but now he's in such a sorry state that people can't help but burst out laughing.
Seeing himself humiliated in front of everyone, Yu Xuan was even more ashamed and pointed at Ye Luo angrily, saying, "Who exactly are you? Why are you slandering and framing me like this!"
Ye Luo rolled her eyes but didn't answer. Bringing up things about the future seemed a bit unreasonable.
He then changed the subject, clapped his hands, and said, "Gentlemen, time is of the essence. The seven-day deadline is approaching. We should open the stone gate as soon as possible!"
Yu Xuan retorted angrily, "Don't try to change the subject!"
Seeing this, everyone naturally sided with Ye Luo and advised, "Fellow Daoist Yu Xuan, you can discuss your private matters later. The most important thing now is to open the stone gate!"
"Yes, that's right." Ye Luo tried hard to hide the smile in her eyes.
Yu Qianling took the spiritual fruit from Ye Luo and asked while eating, "Aren't you going to kill him?"
Yuxuan: "..."
Ye Luo was speechless. Did this person just want to stir up trouble?
"Uh... Third Senior Sister, let's not kill her."
Just kidding, with the grudges you've formed, he doesn't believe this romantic relationship can ever be rekindled!
