"A person with ulterior motives? In my opinion, you're the one with ulterior motives! You're crying 'stop thief' while being the thief yourself!" Niu Shanming sneered.
"Who are you? It's none of your business to interfere in the affairs of my Star Moon Sect." Zhao Zhong glared coldly at Niu Shanming and shouted sternly.
Since taking the Transformation Pill, Niu Shanming's spiritual power has been contained within him, and people whose cultivation levels are far below his cannot sense it at all, as if he were an ordinary person.
That's why Zhao Zhong dared to shout so ruthlessly.
“He is the ninth hall master of my Star Moon Sect.” With a flick of his sleeve, Bai Wenyuan sent Zhao Zhong sprawling to the ground.
"Sect Master, I really only brought back the high-grade spirit stones for safekeeping." Zhao Zhong knelt on the ground and argued, "My loyalty to the Star Moon Sect is as clear as day."
“You embezzled a total of 50,036 pills,” Bai Qingqing said.
Zhao Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately cried out, "Miss, where did you hear this gossip? You can't wrong an innocent person!"
“I have a soul-searching technique that can tell the truth from the falsehood with a single search,” Niu Yunxiao said, black light dancing at his fingertips.
Zhao Zhong recognized Niu Yunxiao, who had the head of a bull and the body of a human, and trembled with fear upon hearing this: "Sect Master, I am truly innocent!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the black light from Niu Yunxiao's fingertips disappeared into his brow.
Immediately afterwards, Niu Yunxiao flipped his wrist, and an image appeared beside him.
Zhao Zhong saw the high-grade spirit stones and became greedy, embezzling them and then secretly continuing to use low-grade spirit stones to maintain the mountain-protecting array.
Furthermore, Zhao Zhong's despicable thoughts are also clearly revealed.
He felt that as long as he had enough high-grade spirit stones, he would be able to break through to the half-step immortal realm in the future, and then he could start his own sect.
Isn't it more prestigious to be the sect leader than to be an elder?
Why suffer being controlled here?
"Zhao Zhong!" Bai Wenyuan's spiritual power surged violently, his eyes dark and gloomy, like the abyss at the bottom of the sea, ready to devour people.
"Sect Master, you can't kill me! If I hadn't risked my life to save you back then, you would have died in the secret realm!" Zhao Zhong cried out in a shrill voice, terrified.
This is also the source of his confidence in being promoted to the Sixth Elder.
"With your character, you would risk your life to save others? You must be making this up." Niu Shanming was very skeptical.
“A quick search will tell you.” Niu Yunxiao changed his gesture and continued searching the soul.
This spiritual skill was obtained by him when he accidentally stumbled into a secret place. It was a legacy of the ancient demon race and was despised by righteous people.
But he had no chance to refuse.
Because it was the inheritance crystal that chose him, it trapped him in the secret place for ten years, and only released him after the inheritance was completed.
Although it's a demonic legacy, I have to admit... it's really good!
Using this soul-searching technique to eliminate disloyal and unrighteous individuals within the clan is incredibly useful.
As for other uses, Niu Yunxiao has been examining it for so many years, but still doesn't know.
So I simply stopped researching it.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhong trembled with fear.
But the footage next to him showed that he had framed Bai Wuji first, and it wasn't a life-saving rescue at all, but just a coincidence while he was hiding.
"Well, well, I took that fatal blow for the sect leader," Zhao Zhong cried out, his voice trembling.
“If it weren’t for the setup, Sect Leader Bai wouldn’t have been in danger at all,” Niu Shanming sneered.
"Zhao Zhong!" Bai Qingqing's face instantly turned cold.
In that instant, Zhao Zhong felt as if his whole body had frozen, with an irresistible chill emanating from even the cracks in his bones.
It was as if even the blood was freezing.
"You scum don't deserve to die!" Bai Qingqing cracked her knuckles, her eyes turning cold. "You should lose your cultivation and live a life worse than death."
As soon as Bai Qingqing finished speaking, Zhao Zhong felt his cultivation level recede like the tide.
In just a few breaths, he was completely transformed into a mortal.
His back was hunched, his eyes were cloudy, and his once black hair turned as white as snow in an instant.
The lifespan of cultivators is far longer than that of ordinary people.
Zhao Zhong was once a powerful cultivator at the Core Formation stage, but now that his cultivation has been completely lost, he naturally shows signs of aging.
Ordinary people don't live to this age.
Logically, after losing his cultivation, he should have died of old age instantly.
However, because of Bai Qingqing's words, he is still alive, but he is so old that he has lost the ability to move.
"Why has he suddenly aged?" Bai Qingqing asked, frowning.
“I stripped him of his cultivation.” Bai Wenyuan suddenly realized something and immediately said, “Qingqing is right. This kind of person should be deprived of his cultivation and live a life worse than death.”
"Our ancestor is mighty!" Bai Qingqing clapped her hands in delight.
There is no need to be soft-hearted towards enemies.
Especially an enemy who once tried to kill his family and has now caused him to incur debt.
Zhao Zhong wanted to beg for mercy, but he was so old that he couldn't utter a complete sentence after babbling for a long time, and he ended up exhausting himself.
“It’s time to let everyone in the sect know what happens to traitors,” Niu Shanming said.
“Yes, that’s called making an example of someone,” Niu Yunxiao immediately chimed in.
Then he got a fierce glare from the monkey.
Niu Yunxiao touched his horns somewhat awkwardly.
I spoke too quickly and forgot about Wukong.
“I will send someone to take him to the main square and display him for half a month, so that everyone in the clan will know about his crimes,” Bai Wenyuan said.
Then, they're thrown into the slums.
“Take these high-grade spirit stones back and select reliable people to supervise them again,” Niu Shanming said, “to prevent similar situations from happening again.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing nodded hurriedly: "Yes, we must completely eliminate similar situations."
She didn't want to hear sirens all the time.
"Xiao Hao, I recovered some of these spirit stones. Can that offset the loss?" Bai Qingqing asked in her mind.
"The tally is complete. There are 48,026 remaining, which can be offset against the total. The host now owes 380,334. Please work hard to repay your debt!"
“I think Zhao Zhong should be refunded ten times the amount of spirit stones he actually consumed without permission,” Bai Qingqing reasoned.
"Once it's returned, it's a matter of fate. Please try to spend your spirit stones properly in the future, and Xiao Hao will cheer you on."
Bai Qingqing choked on her own blood.
I really want to hit someone, what should I do?
When it rains, it pours.
After returning to the courtyard, Bai Qingqing pulled out the Hundred Refinement Furnace and made a spiritual artifact for her sixth brother, Bai Sheng.
From then on, all six of her brothers had their own Heavenly Grade Spiritual Weapons.
This weapon crafting process cost a total of six thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Then, the Hundred Refinement Furnace was upgraded.
Upgrading should have been a happy thing, but Bai Qingqing couldn't be happy at all after reading the upgrade notification.
I even felt more like hitting someone.
The upgraded Refinement Furnace indicates that the number of spirit stones required for refining artifacts will be reduced by 10%, while the cooldown time will increase to once every ten days.
Isn't this a scam?
