She wanted to teach Tang Ling'er a lesson for causing the original owner such a terrible fate.
Even if he were to take revenge on Tang Ling'er, he wouldn't use the matter of a woman's chastity to make her a target of public criticism.
Tang Ling'er choked back a sob, then turned and stared at Yun Lian with a stiff, incredulous expression.
Shang Lu, her senior brother who said he would always protect her, quietly distanced himself from her when she was dragged into this mess.
The master who claimed to treat her like his own daughter threatened her in a way she found most unacceptable.
Can…
What about that woman in red who always seemed to enjoy bullying her?
Yun Lian, the senior sister who was framed and expelled from the sect by her, seems to be protecting her.
Yunyi wore an indifferent smile.
"Disgraced? The world is usually more lenient towards men. The only one who hasn't been punished is Tang Ling'er, hahaha... Yun Lian, I won't be the one who gets disgraced."
In a daze, Yun Lian felt as if she had seen the indifferent smile on his face when he abolished his spiritual veins, through the original owner of the body.
Yun Lian exuded a chill, and with a grab of her delicate hand, Yun Yi's expression immediately changed drastically.
Nascent Soul!
His nascent soul!
"Yun Lian! I am your father!"
How dare she grab his nascent soul with her bare hands!
Yun Lian looked at his panicked expression and coldly curled her lips.
"Father? You are not worthy to call yourself that!"
Yun Lian clenched her fist tightly, and Yun Yi's nascent soul instantly vanished into thin air.
Yunyi coughed up blood, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"No! No!!!"
But his heart-wrenching cries were ultimately in vain.
Yun Lian struck Yun Yi hard in the chest with her palm.
"Don't you like abolishing spiritual roots? Let me show you how."
In the blink of an eye, Yunyi's spiritual veins collapsed, leaving everything in ruins, and he lay on the ground like a piece of trash.
Blindly staring at the ground, his heart-wrenching cries caused some disciples with less refined cultivation to grovel and lie on the ground.
In that instant, Yunyi's hair turned almost white, and wrinkles appeared intricately on his face.
The iron nail he carelessly threw ten years ago has returned powerfully ten years later, hitting him squarely between the eyebrows.
Tang Ling'er felt a surge of sorrow when she saw him suddenly collapse to the ground.
The Mount Tai in her heart was not as indestructible as she had imagined.
She kept hypnotizing herself into becoming a furnace, and she almost forgot that she once wanted to reach the supreme position through her own strength.
Tang Ling'er staggered to Yun Yi's side, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Master, what have I been all these years... Hahaha..."
He said he would treat her like his own daughter.
Ironically, she had forgotten that he could even destroy the spiritual veins of his own daughter, and that she was expelled from the sect when she became a cripple.
He's a beast rotten to the core.
After Tang Ling'er had finished laughing and crying, she smiled gently at Yun Yi.
"Master, don't worry, I will take care of you as if you were my own father from now on."
Her father was a beast. When she was young, he wanted to pawn her off as a child bride. He even beat her mother to death in front of her.
That time planted a seed in her heart that believed women were weaker than men.
She was almost sold to a wealthy family when she came of age and was forced to have a child, but was unexpectedly saved by her master.
It was her master who said that if anyone threatened her interests or displeased her, she should do everything in her power to destroy that person.
So her father was tricked into becoming addicted to gambling and alcohol, beaten half to death by the gambling den, and then "accidentally" drowned.
The wealthy man also "accidentally" died at the hands of a woman.
Later, her master's biological daughter "accidentally" framed her, causing her spiritual veins to be completely destroyed, expelling her from the sect, and nearly killing her.
Tang Ling'er's lips curled into a strange smile. Her fair and delicate wrists, which seemed to break at the slightest touch, dragged the Moon Shadow Sect Master, who was much taller than her, and walked unsteadily but resolutely toward her residence.
Yun Lian stared at Tang Ling'er's retreating figure, watching her disappear into the crowd, seemingly unconcerned about the curses and scorn of the sect members.
The other elders seemed to wake from a dream, exchanging bewildered glances.
The little monster is so young, yet he already possesses cultivation.
In the cultivation world, the strong are revered.
Even Yun Yi, the strongest cultivator in the Moon Shadow Sect, had his Nascent Soul, spiritual veins, golden core, and spiritual root destroyed by her...
Yunyi was completely ruined.
There is no chance of turning things around.
This little pervert alone is already so terrifying; if it were that woman…
The elders all shuddered in unison, seeing the fear and unease in each other's eyes.
Elder Shangguan, who was at the head of the group, had no choice but to step forward under the expectant gazes of the crowd.
"Young Sect Master, the former Sect Master is no longer up to the task. The Moon Shadow Sect cannot be without a leader for even a day. We urge the Young Sect Master to accept the appointment in this time of crisis and lead the Moon Shadow Sect to new heights!"
Yun Lian raised an eyebrow and sat on the broken walls of the sect master's hall.
"What? Now it's not that I'm malicious, harming my fellow disciples, and unfit for great responsibilities, and should be expelled from the sect?"
Elder Shangguan was sweating profusely. He never expected that such a young person could remember his words from back then so clearly.
Elder Shangguan knelt on the ground with incredibly smooth skin.
"Young Sect Master, please forgive me! I was blinded by the former Sect Master and Tang Ling'er back then. Otherwise, even if I had a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare to say such a thing."
"I only beg the young sect leader, considering my years of hard work and dedication, even if I haven't achieved great things, to accept the position of sect leader. I am willing to accept any punishment!"
Yun Lian raised her fox-like eyes and swept them around. Almost all the elders and disciples she touched knelt down on one knee.
"Is that what you mean too?"
The crowd shouted in unison.
"Please, Young Sect Master, assume the position of Sect Master!"
The crowd shouted in unison, their voices so loud they almost shook the heavens, the echoes lingering for a long time.
Yun Lian chuckled softly.
"If you want me to take over this mess, you're asking me to take over the position of sect leader. When you don't need me, it's because Yun Lian is incompetent. Do the other sects know how shameless your Moon Shadow Sect is?"
With a flick of her sleeve, Yun Lian instantly made everyone who had bullied the original owner kneel down on the ground.
"If you want me to become the sect leader of the Moon Shadow Sect, you'd better show me your sincerity. Not just any trash sect is qualified to make me their sect leader."
As soon as Yun Lian finished speaking, she vanished from the spot in an instant.
The other elders looked up, filled with shock and unease.
To vanish into thin air is something only those who have reached the Refinement of Emptiness realm and comprehended the power of space can achieve.
That's a legendary level of cultivation; not a single one has appeared on the continent for thousands of years.
With the young sect leader's abilities, he really did show mercy to all of them just now!
The elders exchanged glances, dismissed all the disciples under their jurisdiction, and gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
Shang Lu was being pushed along by his fellow disciple.
But all I could think about was that red dress.
Ten years have passed. Has the little girl who used to follow him around calling him Brother Shang Lu become someone he can only look up to but never reach?
He vaguely recalled that before Tang Ling'er came to the Moon Shadow Sect, he had spent a carefree and leisurely time with Yun Lian. His master's wife even arranged a marriage between him and little Yun Lian.
If Tang Ling'er hadn't appeared, would his engagement with Yun Lian still be valid?
