Since the Fifth Elder had already said so, if the Second Elder still refused, it would be obvious that he was feeling guilty. He snorted coldly, thinking that although his son was reckless, he wouldn't resort to such despicable means. If he really did use them... The Second Elder narrowed his eyes, thinking of this matter, and snorted coldly. If he really did use them, Yu Ze wouldn't be worthy of being his son!
After a quarter of an hour, both sides were starting to run out of energy. In the end, the handsome inner disciple won the final blow and knocked Yu Ze off the stage.
Yu Ze coughed twice, propped himself up, and stood up. His face was ashen. As he turned to leave, the Fifth Elder stopped him. "Yu Ze, I suspect you are on drugs. So please drip your blood onto this stone. If it lights up, it means you are innocent and I have wronged you. I will apologize to you in front of everyone. But if it doesn't light up, then you will have to accept your punishment."
When the Fifth Elder said this, he didn't mention anything about Fu Ziyi bringing up the matter. If he didn't, Fu Ziyi would inevitably face retaliation.
A flicker of panic crossed Yu Ze's eyes. He said anxiously, "Elder, I would never use such a thing. You've watched me grow up since I was a child. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Your actions have really hurt me deeply."
Yu Ze tried to appeal to the Fifth Elder's emotions and persuade him to give up the idea, but the Fifth Elder was adamant. "For the sake of fairness in the competition, let's put aside our past mistakes for now. If I have truly wronged you, I will not only apologize to you, but also give you a rare book as compensation."
After the Fifth Elder finished speaking, he held up the stone in his hand and kept his eyes fixed on Yu Ze, waiting for Yu Ze to make a decision.
Yu Ze avoided eye contact, not daring to meet the Fifth Elder's gaze.
Seeing Yu Ze's expression, the Second Elder had a bad feeling. He looked at Yu Ze with a gloomy expression, as if he was about to cut him into a thousand pieces at any moment.
Yu Ze hesitated before stepping forward. The Fifth Elder stood on the arena and spread out his palms so that everyone could see the situation more clearly.
Yu Ze clenched his fists tightly, and then a drop of blood slowly flowed out from between his palms, falling onto the stone.
A few seconds later, the corpse did indeed light up.
Yu Ze's eyes dimmed, filled with sadness. "Fifth Elder, I told you, I really didn't. Have you considered how I will establish my authority in the sect after this?"
The Fifth Elder frowned, looking at Fu Ziyi with doubt in his eyes. Fu Ziyi smiled disdainfully, stepped down from the platform, and stood next to the Fifth Elder.
With swift hands and eyes, the ghosts were manipulated to firmly press down Fu Ziyi, and then a dagger was used to cut open his palm, and blood flowed continuously from his palm onto the stone.
However, the moment the blood came into contact with the stone, the stone, which was originally shining, instantly dimmed and eventually went completely dark, even turning somewhat black.
Yu Ze's expression changed drastically, his face contorted in pain. "Fu Ziyi! Let me go! You're harming your fellow disciples! Let me go!"
Yu Ze struggled violently, trying to escape this clutches, but all his efforts were in vain and of no use.
Fu Ziyi wore a wicked smile. "How can you be so afraid to admit what you should have done? And you want to use other people's blood to cover up your crimes?"
"What! I can't believe it. What just happened? I don't quite understand. Why did the Fifth Elder come up after looking at Fu Ziyi? And why did the stone turn black again this time? Does it mean that Senior Brother Yu Ze is really on drugs?"
“I also think Senior Brother Yu Ze is a bit strange. I hadn’t figured out what was going on until now. Now that you’ve reminded me, I finally remember. Just two days ago, I saw him unable to defeat a wild beast in the secret realm, but now he can hold his own against Senior Brother Xuan Chi and even lasted for half an hour against him!”
"Yu Ze is so arrogant and domineering in the sect because of the Second Elder. He doesn't want to lose the sect competition, so he's resorting to such underhanded methods. He can't even beat Senior Brother Xuan Chi even after taking drugs. If it weren't for the fact that the Second Elder is his father, how could he have become the second senior brother of the sect! This kind of person is unworthy of his position and should not be tolerated!"
The other disciples all condemned Yu Ze, especially those who had been exploited and bullied by him. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they wished they could tear Yu Ze to pieces.
Yu Ze shouted, "This isn't real! You must have tampered with something to make this happen. Why are you framing me? This stone was clearly lit up just now. There must be something on your dagger!" Yu Ze yelled, refusing to admit his guilt. At this moment, his spiritual power was almost exhausted, and he couldn't break free from the two ghosts controlling him. He could only thrash around in place, completely at their mercy.
The Fifth Elder wondered if there was anything else he didn't understand. He figured that the blood Yu Ze had used earlier was from Xuan Chi's body. During their fight, it was inevitable that they would get blood on each other. As for how he managed to turn the blood on his body into a blood bead, no one knew.
Xuan Chi was also standing on the arena, holding a sword in his hand. When he heard the news, it was hard to tell whether his eyes showed more joy or more complexity.
Zi Sangyi sat in the highest position. As the sect leader, it was his duty to make the final decision on this matter. He stood up, his voice filled with authority, and looked at Yu Ze with a serious expression. "Yu Ze has disregarded the sect rules and wantonly harmed his fellow disciples. His crimes are heinous. From this day forward, Yu Ze is no longer a disciple of Qingtao Valley. His meridians are severed, he is expelled from the sect, and he will never be accepted again!"
As soon as Zisangyi said this, most people cheered that Yu Ze finally got what he deserved.
The Second Elder didn't say anything, his eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at Yu Ze. Zi Sangyi didn't pay much attention to the Second Elder either, but the First Elder, who was sitting next to the Second Elder, glanced at him a couple of times.
The Grand Elder spoke up, "Are you planning to take on a disciple this year? Yu Ze is no longer your disciple and has been expelled from the sect. Why don't you and I become Daoist partners? That way we can look after each other, and what if our child is even more outstanding?"
The First Elder's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but at least several disciples nearby could hear it. Shangguan Qi boldly teased, "First Elder, you should have spoken these private matters to the Second Elder in private. We're all listening!"
The Grand Elder wasn't angry; he glanced at Shangguan Xi with a smile in his eyes.
Xu Yuehuai was a little confused about what their relationship was.
Upon hearing his punishment, Yu Ze roared angrily from below, "I'm not convinced! Why are you kicking me out like this! Why did you sever my meridians!"
