Who are you?
The people from the Contribution Hall looked Li Zhong up and down, but they had no recollection of him at all in the inner sect.
Could it be the outer sect?
But upon closer inspection, Li Zhong's attire was completely unlike that of someone from the Ziyang Sect; rather, he appeared to be just an ordinary first-tier citizen from Qinglin City.
When did ordinary people become able to join the Ziyang Sect?
At this moment, Su Yang slowly walked past and glanced at Gu Xun lying on the ground. He looked somewhat familiar.
"Hey? Aren't you from the Ziyang Sect?" Su Yang asked from the side.
Upon hearing this, the people from the Contribution Hall were even more confused. Did this guy mean that they really weren't from the Ziyang Sect, but were actually from outside?
So they shouted, "Outsiders shouldn't comment on our sect's affairs. Get out of here while we don't want to deal with you right now!"
Li Zhong frowned, a hint of anger flashing across his face: "Insects, who are you telling to get lost?"
The person from the Contribution Hall laughed, sticking out a face and saying, "Ant? Who are you calling that? Ha, this is the Ziyang Sect, you dare to lay a finger on me?"
At that moment, Kou Xun, who was lying on the ground, turned his head to see who had helped him at this time.
When he turned his head, that face he would never forget for the rest of his life appeared before him once again.
It was him.
Su Yang!
Just as Li Zhong flipped his palm upwards, Su Yang shot out, his figure like a wisp of wind, but this wisp of wind was actually real sword intent!
Whoosh!
The eight disciples of the Contribution Hall standing in front of Gu Xun immediately felt a pain. Soon the pain became more and more obvious. When they realized what was happening, the index fingers of each of them had been cut off and were dripping blood from their hands!
"My hand!!"
In an instant, all eight disciples of the Contribution Hall began to wail in grief, clutching their severed fingers and screaming wildly.
Meanwhile, the wailing attracted many outer sect disciples, some of whom recognized Su Yang at first glance. Wasn't this the ruthless man who killed Su Tianlang in front of the elders during his last visit to the Ziyang Sect?!
What's going on? Now they've come here again and cut off the fingers of eight inner disciples.
That's... way too ruthless!
Does he have some grudge against the Ziyang Sect?
Not a single outer disciple dared to approach. Even those who had never seen Su Yang had heard of his killings in the outer sect. Even the elders couldn't do anything to him, let alone them.
At this moment, Su Yang didn't even draw his sword; he looked coldly at the eight people in the Contribution Hall.
"I touched your finger, and then what?"
The disciple from the Contribution Hall was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. Pointing at Su Yang, he threatened, "You just wait! You just wait! My master will never let you get away with this!"
Whoosh!
One finger landed on the ground again.
This time, Su Yang still did not draw his sword; he merely released a wisp of sword intent at will, nothing more.
Su Yang glanced at Gu Xun, then at the eight people from the Contribution Hall, and said, "This brother lost an arm to me, and I didn't see him cry. You eight, you only lost a finger, yet you're crying your eyes out. Besides, you were the ones who asked me to cut off my finger!"
What?
Gu Xun's arm was actually severed by him?
The eight men felt as if a boulder had fallen to the bottom of a valley. Even Gu Xun, at his peak, had his arm severed by this man. With their strength, how could they possibly resist? Moreover, they had heard that Elder Ling Yun had once gone to find his enemies, but in the end, he had come up empty-handed.
Who exactly is this young man before us?!
At this moment, Su Yang slowly stood up, looked at Li Zhong with a serious expression and said, "It's good that you didn't make a move just now. We agreed not to cause trouble."
Li Zhong frowned slightly: "It seems you're the one who caused trouble."
Su Yang asked doubtfully, "Really? They clearly told me to cut off his finger, and I just did as they asked."
Then, Su Yang turned to the eight people and asked, "You all agree, right?"
Disciple of the Hall of Contribution: "..."
Do they dare to speak?
If they say one wrong word, they might lose not just a finger, but an arm!
They knew perfectly well how they had treated Gu Xun. If their hands were severed, their fate might be even worse than Gu Xun's. The Ziyang Sect might not even want them! In that case, they would have no choice but to wander the streets and become beggars!
How could they dare to speak? They could only nod silently.
We have no choice but to accept our fate!
"Young friend Su Yang!"
Just then, Ling Yun suddenly appeared from the distant horizon, stepping through the air.
Upon seeing this, the eight disciples of the Contribution Hall felt a surge of hope! Had Elder Lingyun come to save them?
But... who is Su Yang?
At this moment, Su Yang slowly turned his head to look at Ling Yun and simply waved his hand.
Holy crap! Could they be calling him?
This guy cut off one of Ko Xun's hands!
Soon, Ling Yun landed steadily and strode up to Su Yang, smiling as he said, "I just heard that young friend Su Yang has come to my Ziyang Sect. I apologize for not being able to welcome him immediately; it was my fault."
The first words spoken upon meeting were by both a disciple of the Contribution Hall and Gu Xun.
I was completely dumbfounded!
Is this the Elder Lingyun they know?
At this moment, Ling Yun also noticed Gu Xun and the other eight people, as well as the fingers on the ground: "Did you provoke Su Yang? Su Yang is a distinguished guest of my Ziyang Sect. If you have provoked him, even ten of your lives wouldn't be enough to kill you!"
The eight men swallowed hard; they never imagined that Su Yang would have such a powerful background!
Most importantly, didn't this guy break your personal disciple's hand? How come you're acting like nothing happened?
At this moment, Su Yang said unhurriedly, "No, I saw them bullying that brother, and they even asked me to lift a finger. You know me, if I don't take action, they might think I'm easy to bully."
As he spoke, Su Yang wore an innocent smile on his face.
Only today did they realize what it means to say the most terrifying things in the most ordinary words!
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Ling Yun snorted coldly: "People from the Contribution Hall? Hmph, even if my disciple has lost an arm, it's not your place to humiliate him like this! Besides, even if my disciple has lost an arm, as long as he adjusts his mindset, he will still be just as good as anyone else in the future!"
Gu Xun shuddered.
So that's what Master was thinking?
Ling Yun shouted, "All eight of you, go to the Discipline Hall to receive your punishment! If I find any of you refusing to be punished, you will be dealt with according to the sect rules!"
The eight men swallowed hard and could only clasp their hands in acceptance of the punishment: "Disciples obey."
After the disciples left, Ling Yun noticed Li Zhong standing behind Su Yang.
Just by looking at him, Ling Yun could tell that Li Zhong had a special aura. Even though no true energy could be detected from him, the feeling and pressure he exuded were exactly the same as those he felt from Su Yang!
What's going on?
Are there only monstrous talents in this world who don't cultivate true qi?
