Seeing the situation, Xu Yuehuai knew exactly who had done it; no one was bolder than him. But she simply stood there and said nothing.
Seeing that no one had stepped forward after waiting for so long, Yu Ze's anger flared even more. "Fine, you're all still here. You haven't even entered the sect yet. Do you think if I left you all here to die in this miasma, would I be able to find your corpses?"
Yu Ze smiled sinisterly, treating them as less than human. The elder, who was standing nearby, was shocked when he heard this. "This is unacceptable! If Elder Zisang returns and finds out what you've done, he will be furious! Even your father won't be able to protect you then."
The elders were indeed afraid of him, but only of the Second Elder behind him. If he really did that, Elder Zisang would definitely fight the Second Elder to the death.
Yu Ze chuckled lightly, then burst into laughter, his tone mocking, "Do you really think I'm afraid of him? I'm just giving him some face."
"Listen up, if you hand over the person who did this behind the scenes, I might let you off the hook. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." Yu Ze's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with fanaticism and confidence.
The two elders looked serious, knowing that it was useless to say anything now. One of them took out a communication crystal, intending to inform Elder Zisang of the news, when Yu Ze noticed this scene with sharp eyes. "What are you doing? Are you trying to tip them off and find someone to rescue them? I advise you not to do that."
Yu Ze came out this time to show off his superiority in front of these people and experience the thrill of controlling his life. He's having so much fun now that he can't tolerate anyone interfering.
The elder remained defiant, saying, "What's wrong with me informing Elder Zisang of everything you've done? He's the leader of this team and has the right to know everything that's happening in the group, including what you're doing and saying!"
Yu Ze felt that his authority had been challenged.
Fu Ziyi watched them singing and dancing together, picked at his ear, and slowly walked out of the group. "I say, are you guys performing an opera? There's even a straight man in it."
The elder and Yu Ze both looked at him, and Fu Ziyi continued, "Didn't you want to find out who did it? I'm standing right here, what urgent matter do you want with me?"
Fu Ziyi didn't take it seriously at all, and his leisurely demeanor exuded an air of unbridled freedom.
Xu Yuehuai looked at him, wanting to see what she was up to.
Yu Ze smiled dangerously and nodded in acknowledgment, "Very well, it seems you were the one who ambushed me on the Spirit Boat before."
Fu Ziyi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Oh, not too stupid after all."
Upon hearing these provocative words, Yu Ze showed no sign of a smile. He attacked Fu Ziyi without using a weapon, clearly believing that he didn't need to deal with him.
However, after only two moves, Yu Ze realized that he had underestimated his opponent. But if he were to draw his weapon at this moment, he would be ridiculed. His cultivation level was higher than Fu Ziyi's, which was inherently unfair.
Xiao Qian stood to the side, looking at Fu Ziyi with worry in her voice. Her hand unconsciously reached for Xu Yuehuai's hand, but Xu Yuehuai only glanced at it and did nothing. "What should we do? He can't possibly be a match for Yu Ze! If this continues, Junior Brother will definitely lose, and he might even lose his life!"
Ji Yuanchi walked to Xu Yuehuai's side and unknowingly inserted himself between the two of them. Xiao Qian was forced to let go of Xu Yuehuai's sleeve. She didn't care much about it. After Ji Yuanchi came in, he said with a smile, "It's okay. Just wait and see. Fu Ziyi is not someone to be trifled with. Even if Yu Ze wants to deal with him, he will have to put in a lot of effort."
While fighting Yu Ze, Fu Ziyi realized that he was probably no match for him. Fortunately, on the way back, he had successfully reached the Body Tempering stage, which was considered to be just the beginning.
But this is also one of the reasons why he was able to stand up to Yu Ze.
Yu Ze had no weapons and was not a physical cultivator, so he was immediately at a disadvantage, and the situation was unfavorable to him.
The remaining three senior brothers and sisters were mostly stronger than Xiao Qian, so it was easy to tell who had the upper hand among them.
“This junior brother is a bit strange…” one of the senior sisters muttered to herself.
Xu Yuehua crossed her arms. She had always felt that Fu Ziyi was no ordinary person. He never used his full strength when fighting, and he had already successfully entered the Body Tempering stage in less than half a month since he arrived here.
Many people go from being born at the second level to being able to cultivate, and then to entering the body tempering stage, which takes at least a few months and at most a few years, but Fu Zi only took less than ten days.
Yu Ze felt ashamed and stopped. Fu Ziyi did not attack first, so after he stopped, Fu Ziyi naturally stood there. A breeze blew across his clothes and blew the stray hairs on his forehead. He held a jade fan in his hand and gently waved it.
This reminded Xiaoqian of a saying: "A gentleman is like jade, unparalleled in the world." Coupled with the miasma around them, Fu Ziyi's face was also so outstanding.
The two elders were stunned and dared not speak, for fear that their words would affect Fu Ziyi's performance.
Yu Ze noticed the expressions on everyone's faces and his expression turned somewhat uneasy. Fortunately, someone noticed his expression in time and stopped him, saying, "Alright, those two are just having a normal sparring match between fellow disciples. Let's continue."
As the elder spoke, he led the group forward. Yu Ze was unconvinced and wanted to take his weapon and fight Fu Ziyi again, but that was definitely not the time. If he made a move now, he would surely be ridiculed.
He, Yu Ze, absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!
As Elder Zisang watched the sphere of light about to extinguish, he had no choice but to turn back, when he heard a cry for help coming from not far away, "Help...help me..."
The sound was very faint, almost inaudible. Elder Zisang was shocked and walked towards the direction of the sound. He saw Xu Tian lying on the ground, his face pale and his lips purple, exuding an aura of death.
This was a sign that miasma had entered his body. Elder Zisang took immediate action to treat him, taking him out and sending someone in to find another person as soon as he was out.
Xu Tian hadn't woken up since Elder Zisang brought him back. Elder Zisang sighed and coughed twice. The elder beside him, seeing this, knew that he had inhaled a lot of miasma and felt a little sorry for him. "You go and rest first. I'll look after things here. The disciples have all been arranged. The only thing left is to assign them positions. Do you think we should make them outer disciples or the personal disciples of the outer elders?"
Although both are outer disciples, their treatment is vastly different, somewhat similar to the rules of Qingcheng Academy. The ranks are, in order: sweeping disciple, outer disciple, outer elder's personal disciple, inner disciple, inner elder's personal disciple, and finally, sect master's personal disciple. The fact that the elder didn't directly tell them to be sweeping disciples is already considered polite.
