Chapter 38

==================

The ending is very obvious.

It was not easy to deal with this group of disciples who used their size to bully the weak and their numbers to bully the few. Except for the one that Xie Tingyun was stepping on, the rest could hardly run a few steps before they were held in place by Ning Chen.

The disciples saw the demonic energy rising from their feet and tightly wrapped around their feet, and they were shocked and said, "Demons?!"

"How could it be the demon clan!"

"Xie Tingyun is colluding with the demons? Send a message to the leader immediately!"

However, even the spiritual power communication could not get out.

Ning Chen watched slowly as the demonic aura smashed all the messages flying into the sky, and said casually, "Do you know how to ask for help now?"

Ning Chen hasn't even taken action yet, how could he allow them to call for help?

It's all an illusion anyway. It shouldn't be a big deal for the great demon Ning Chen to use his strength to bully the bully disciples who use their numbers to bully the few.

After all, they are the same, not much different.

The miserable screams and wails pierced the sky, startling the birds living in the forest, and they flew away into the distance.

In just an incense stick of time, there was no one left standing here except Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun.

Ning Chen opened his hands in a relaxed manner. He did not use any weapons such as a spear, but simply kicked them down one by one. While kicking, he asked with a smile: "Is it fun to bully people?"

"You like group fights, right?"

"You want my ring, right?"

Ning Chen looked down at the disciples who were lying on the ground wailing and rolling around, and snorted, "If you really want it, I will make one for you with your ashes and put it on your grave. Do you want it?"

Ning Chen's pair of dark red eyes made him look different from other humans. In addition, he was full of demonic energy and had a casual yet sharp look. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with.

They dared to bet that if they painted Ning Shen's face at that moment and pasted it on the walls of every household, it would scare away all the demons and monsters.

The demons have always been able to kill and live at will. A demon has actually sneaked into the Liuyun Sect. They don't know if the people in the sect can catch him. They only know that if they don't beg for mercy now, Ning Chen may really put a ring made of their ashes on their graves.

They were already on the ground. Hearing Ning Shen's serious expression and tone, you dare not continue to be stubborn. You burst into tears and said, "No, no, no, it's not fun, not fun... I don't like it, I don't like it."

"We were really wrong."

Ning Chen did not kill them, but targeted the painful parts besides their vital parts. They were now lying on their backs on the ground, and their appearance was even worse than the one under Xie Tingyun's feet.

Ning Chen snorted lightly and then let them go.

As soon as Ning Chen turned around, he saw Xie Tingyun, who was not even as tall as Ning Chen's waist, stepping on someone and looking at him with unclear eyes.

“…”

Ning Chen didn't know whether Xie Tingyun had consciousness and memory in the illusion, but the look in Xie Tingyun's eyes at this moment was really hard to describe. Ning Chen always felt that he would ask questions like "Why did you do this?" and so on.

He doesn't like to explain. After all, if he doesn't like something, he just doesn't like it. There's no reason for that.

In order to prevent the little brat from talking too much, Ning Shen snorted and said, "You are such a jerk. Even though people have provoked you to that extent, you are still so polite."

“…”

Xie Tingyun pursed his lips.

Where Ning Chen couldn't see, he dispersed the spiritual power gathered in his hands and pretended nothing had happened.

Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and pressed the ring on his chest. He was silent for a while, then he let go of the disciple he had stepped on all the way, and then sent a message to inform the sect.

Before the sect members arrived, Xie Tingyun hesitated for a while, but still said softly to Ning Chen, "Thank you."

At this time, Xie Tingyun's height was not even as high as Ning Chen's waist. He was very small. Ning Chen lowered his head and looked at him, as if he was looking at a snowball made by a child. He even felt that he could pick up Xie Tingyun with just one hand.

However, Xie Tingyun's facial features have not fully developed, and there is still a childish softness between his eyebrows and eyes. As a result, when Xie Tingyun faces uninvited guests, even if he has a cold face, he does not look intimidating. Instead, people want to rub his cheeks and wait to see the unhappy expression of the ice and snow ball.

Ning Chen had just beaten up someone he disliked, so he was in a good mood. Also, because he was used to talking to Xie Tingyun, he almost blurted out "Come over here and rub me a few times". Fortunately, he still had some sense and did not say such a strange request.

Ning Chen attributed the fact that he had such a strange-sounding request to the fact that the miniature version of Xie Tingyun was so rare that he could hardly see it under normal circumstances, so he accepted the fact with peace of mind.

The people from Liuyun Sect arrived very quickly, and all the demonic energy at the scene was taken back by Ning Chen in advance. He turned over and hid deep in the forest. Finally, he used his eyes to silently warn the group of disciples.

The disciples who had been beaten and hadn't been able to get up from the ground dared not say a word.

Seeing that Ning Chen was appearing more frequently, Xie Tingyun circled the scene several times, carefully erasing the remaining traces of Ning Chen's evil spirit.

When they saw Taoist Master Daoling and the elders of Liuyun Sect rushing to the scene, the disciples who had been beaten finally breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately hid behind the crowd and pointed at where Ning Chen was hiding, shouting, "Sect Master! There's a demon standing there. He actually sneaked into our sect?!"

Taoist Master Daoling squinted his eyes and looked in the direction they were pointing, but he only saw Xie Tingyun with his eyes downcast and an expressionless face.

Taoist Master Dao Ling pondered for a while, and together with the elders present, he released his spiritual consciousness to search the Liuyun Sect carefully several times, but still found no trace of the demons.

They have a bunch of powerful monks who have achieved enlightenment here. Even if there are demons hiding here, how could they escape the search? There are no demons, there are no demons. It is impossible for them to hide somewhere and not be discovered.

Some hot-tempered elders immediately frowned and said unhappily: "Demons? Where?"

The disciples who were beaten looked at the sect leader and the elders in disbelief, then turned back to look at Ning Chen, doubting their own eyes: "Right, standing right there, in the bamboo forest behind Xie Tingyun."

This statement was very vague. Although it did not accuse Xie Tingyun of colluding with the demons, it tied Xie Tingyun together with the demons of unknown origin, which made it hard not to arouse suspicion.

The senior leaders of Liuyun Sect who were present saw their expressions of extreme fear, so they suppressed their displeasure and checked again, especially around Xie Tingyun. If it weren't for the fact that consciousness has no entity, Xie Tingyun would have been plucked out from inside and out by the elders' consciousness.

Xie Tingyun just stood there quietly, saying nothing, allowing the elders to investigate. His silent and calm eyes seemed to say that the innocent are innocent, and it was up to them to do as they pleased.

However, the truth was that there was nothing. It seemed that the only people present who could see Ning Chen were Xie Tingyun and the group of disciples who had just been beaten.

Taoist Master Daoling was the first to change the subject. He glanced at his disciples who were staggering and said in a deep voice, "What's going on? How did you end up like this?"

The group of disciples no longer cared about anything else and told Taoist Master Daoling in tears about how they were beaten. They made it sound like they went to see Xie Tingyun out of kindness, but Xie Tingyun colluded with the demons and beat them up instead.

During the whole process, the disciples who were beaten spoke with Ning Chen's sneering gaze.

But after listening to what Daoling said, he remained silent for a long while, and said with a strange look on his face: "You, a bunch of Foundation Establishment cultivators, can't defeat Tingyun, a young disciple who has only been in the sect for a few days and has just drawn Qi into his body?"

Some elders said directly in a sinister tone: "If you wanted to bully someone but were killed in return, just say it directly. It is much better than trying to cover up and making up an excuse of colluding with the demons to invade. Isn't it shameful?"

"Ren Tingyun is not even at the Qi training stage. He is just a young disciple who has just entered the sect. What demon clan would be willing to collude with him?"

The low-level demons can't escape the awareness of Taoist Master Daoling, and the high-level demons can't look down on a little disciple who can't even practice Qi. In summary:

A bunch of liars.

Disciples: “…”

The elders simply didn't believe the fact that the demons were here, they couldn't even explain it clearly!

Then Taoist Master Daoling asked the silent Xie Tingyun again: "Tingyun, tell me what's going on."

Xie Tingyun then told the whole story in detail, omitting the part about Ning Chen's appearance and beating people up. Instead, he told the elder what he had just said, that he had beaten all of them down by himself.

Xie Tingyun lowered his eyes and said softly, "My mother knew that she was in poor health. She was afraid that I would be bullied outside after she passed away, so she specially asked the master to teach me self-defense."

Xie Tingyun had not expected that this argument could convince Taoist Ling. After all, even Xie Tingyun did not believe that a young disciple who had not even trained Qi could beat up a bunch of Foundation Establishment disciples.

However, Taoist Master Daoling and these old antiques all care about their reputation. Since it is impossible for them to overturn the conclusion that there are no demons in the sect, they will most likely not believe what the disciples say.

Xie Tingyun followed their words and was able to let the elders make their own judgments for him.

The elders present all knew that today was the last day Xie Tingyun would keep vigil for his mother. After all, in their eyes, Xie Tingyun was still just a child who had not experienced much of the world. Children of this age were still acting coquettishly in the arms of their parents. However, Xie Tingyun came to Liuyun Sect alone. Not only did he have to watch his mother's death for five days and keep vigil for his mother for seven days, but he was also bullied by his fellow disciples.

How can this be possible!

As expected, the group of disciples who were beaten by Ning Chen were all thrown into the torture hall, forced to kneel and whipped, and were not allowed to leave for thirty days.

Ning Chen was barely satisfied.

In the middle of the night, Ning Chen sneaked into Xie Tingyun's courtyard and dragged him out.

Xie Tingyun: “?!”

Xie Tingyun's face changed and he started to struggle: "What are you doing!"

Ning Chen lazily dragged Xie Tingyun all the way to the punishment hall. During the day, he took a few special looks at what the punishment hall of Liuyun Sect looked like. After memorizing the highest and most conspicuous features of the punishment hall, he followed Xie Tingyun back to his courtyard.

It was pitch black all around, but Ning Shen could find the location of the execution hall among the buildings by looking up, so he boldly led Xie Tingyun to the execution hall.

However, Ning Chen was unfamiliar with the place after all, and he went around in circles and into several dead ends without being able to successfully reach the execution hall. After turning several times in a short period of time, he even completely lost his way and could not even see the location of the execution hall.

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Shen frowned impatiently, and simply gave up his foolish insistence, saying expressionlessly: "You set up the punishment hall in such a remote place, don't you want the disciples to go there?"

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun was dragged out at first, and he struggled to get Ning Chen to let go of his hand, so he kept following Ning Chen. However, Ning Chen thought he was walking too slowly, so he reached out and pulled him to walk together.

Xie Tingyun was really confused. He had no idea what this guy was doing in the middle of the night. However, the size difference made it impossible for Xie Tingyun to break away, so he could only stumble forward with Ning Chen.

Seeing that Ning Chen was finally forced to stop, Xie Tingyun finally had a chance to catch his breath. After a while, he said, "...why didn't you just say you wanted to go to the punishment hall earlier?"

Xie Tingyun whispered, "If you know you are a fool, don't try to be stubborn. I won't laugh at you."

Ning Chen: “…”

Ning Chen's beastly nature was aroused, and he decided not to bear this humiliation. He bent down and gently picked up the child, pretending to throw him out. Xie Tingyun was so frightened that he tensed up and subconsciously raised his hand to grab Ning Chen's shoulder, saying in annoyance: "...what are you doing!"

Ning Chen did what he had always wanted to do since entering the illusion.

At this time, according to Xie Tingyun's size, Ning Chen could hold two of them in one hand without any problem, so he held the smaller Xie Tingyun in his arms with one arm without any care, and pinched Xie Tingyun's cheeks several times with his other hand, and said coldly and ruthlessly: "Lead the way, hurry up, if you laugh at me for being stupid, I will throw you out later."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Perhaps because he was angry, Xie Tingyun slapped Ning Chen's hand away unhappily, and while struggling to leave, he said coldly: "Tian Xiao, what's wrong with you? Do you have to do something shocking and outrageous before you stop?"

Sure enough, there is memory.

Ning Chen smiled maliciously. The current Xie Tingyun was too young. He could easily stop the struggle of the small Xie Tingyun.

He was in a good mood and pinched Xie Tingyun's face again, saying happily: "It's good that you know. It feels pretty good."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun bit his neck.
