"Is it really right for you elders to harm an innocent boy?"
Feng Lingxue withdrew her attack, her eyes glaring sharply at the eight elders who refused to give up.
"An innocent boy? Do you know what this boy has done!"
The elder snorted coldly and stroked his beard.
"Feng Lingxue, do you know what this young man you speak of has done today! He has harmed his fellow disciples and killed indiscriminately!"
The Second Elder was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened. He shouted at Feng Lingxue.
"Feng Lingxue! Don't think that just because you have some connection with the Sword Master, you can do whatever you want in the Sword Sect!"
"That's right, isn't this monster only able to survive until today because of your protection!"
The eight elders were unusually united, and they all started cursing at Feng Lingxue.
"Elders, have you witnessed Luo Fantian committing murder?"
Xie Zhou paused for a moment, finally catching his breath.
“We…this…”
"So what if he didn't see it? The evidence is conclusive. Can anyone frame him?"
The elders were speechless after Xie Zhou's words, but they quickly came to a consensus.
"It doesn't seem like the way the elders operate, to believe only what others say without having seen it with their own eyes."
Xie Zhou's next words made the Grand Elder, who had intended to continue the execution, hesitate slightly.
"Although we didn't hear it with our own ears, we saw that Luo Fantian's bedroom was full of donated blood, as well as the blood and bones of an unknown creature!"
The elder had a gloomy face, his small eyes fixed on Xie Zhou.
"May I ask, Elder, if I were to splatter blood and throw a few bones into your room when no one is looking, who would you kill then?"
These were matters of life and death, so Xie Zhou naturally dared not be ambiguous and was quite aggressive.
"You...you ignorant brat! This is utterly absurd!"
The Grand Elder had never suffered such humiliation before. He simply flicked his sleeve, somewhat speechless.
"No one dares to do that!"
The elder flicked his sleeves again.
"Feng Lingxue, if you delay us from killing this demon any longer, then we'll consider you to be in cahoots with this demon!"
The Grand Elder seemed to be getting impatient; he didn't want to talk to Xie Zhou any longer.
"Yes, no one dares to dump these things into the Grand Elder's room, but Luo Fantian is just a pitiful person. When the people of the Sword Sect see him like this, they all want to bully him."
Xie Zhou immediately stepped in front of Luo Fantian.
"Thank you, Zhou..."
Luo Fantian looked at the little Xie Zhou blocking his way and felt a lump in his throat.
"Luo Fantian, did you kill anyone? If you didn't, then if they want to kill you today, they'll have to step over my dead body!"
Luo Fantian regained consciousness, and Xie Zhou immediately asked a question.
"No! I didn't kill anyone. Last night, someone dumped these things into my room, and this morning they brought people over saying they were going to kill me!"
Luo Fantian naturally denied it.
"Alright, then today, I, Xie Zhou, will protect you!"
Xie Zhou's gaze sharpened, and in his hand he held a small knife that could be found anywhere in the kitchen.
"!"
When the system heard Xie Zhou say this, its eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock!
"Xie Zhou! What nonsense are you spouting! You were able to defeat those eight elders last time by sheer luck! By doing this, aren't you just courting death?!"
The system's tone was anxious.
"What can I do? If I don't stand in front of him, Luo Fantian will die. If Luo Fantian dies, how can I survive?"
Xie Zhou cursed fiercely.
"Of course I was forced into this situation. Do you think I wasn't scared? My legs were shaking!"
Xie Zhou spoke to the system with a sob in his voice.
"Good! Good! I didn't expect that you, Xie Zhou, have become so lawless after only two days as the Sword Master's disciple. Today you actually dare to openly challenge the eight elders of the Sword Sect!"
The Grand Elder had been angered by Xie Zhou more than once, and now he found Xie Zhou increasingly unpleasant to look at.
"If we don't teach you a lesson today, how can we still have the face to be elders in this Sword Sect!"
The second elder was also quite angry. He felt embarrassed when he remembered being defeated by Xie Zhou last time.
"Fine, then bring it on! If Master finds out that Luo Fantian did nothing wrong and is executed, and the elders also killed his disciple, I'd like to see what kind of good outcome you elders will get!"
Xie Zhou continued to roar.
As Feng Lingxue watched Xie Zhou working so hard, her understanding deepened.
“You are really different from that demon Xie Zhou. You are a little girl full of humanity. Although you are not good-looking, you are very kind-hearted.”
Feng Lingxue let out a long sigh: "Take me with you."
Feng Lingxue stood beside Xie Zhou.
"ah?"
Xie Zhou looked at Feng Lingxue who had rushed over and said, "Doctor, this matter has nothing to do with you, so please don't get involved."
Xie Zhou said to Feng Lingxue.
"Even I am overwhelmed by the combined might of these eight elders, let alone you. If I really leave, and these eight elders go berserk, you will truly die."
Feng Lingxue assumed a fighting stance and summoned all her swords.
"Hahaha, good! Very good! Xie Zhou, you really are no good. Your skill in bewitching people is top-notch!"
The Grand Elder burst into laughter upon seeing this.
"Feng Lingxue, we're giving you one last chance. Will you leave, or will we wipe you out together?"
The Grand Elder has issued an ultimatum.
"I stayed!"
Feng Lingxue spoke without thinking.
"Okay, I understand."
"Everyone, get ready! We must wipe this monster out of the world!"
The elder gave a cold shout.
The enormous tornado was spinning continuously around the Grand Elder and his group.
"Watch out, an attack is coming!"
Feng Lingxue looked at the attack in front of her with a solemn expression.
"There's no other way now, System! Absorb the Illusion Stone!"
Xie Zhou shouted loudly.
"good!"
The system gritted its teeth, realizing that it seemed there was no other way but to fight back head-on.
"superior!"
At the elder's command, the tornado surged forward with terrifying force.
"That's terrifying!"
Xie Zhou muttered something to himself.
"My body's energy was already depleted. If it weren't for Feng Lingxue, I probably wouldn't be able to make it in this situation!"
Xie Zhou's brows furrowed deeply.
"Don't worry, we can do it!"
The system then came over and comforted Xie Zhou.
"Boom!"
The barrier collided with the tornado.
"Pfft!"
The moment of impact, Xie Zhou spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it! These old bastards are determined to kill us. Let's fight them!"
Xie Zhou's expression turned somewhat crazed.
