Chapter 64

As if they had discussed it in advance, as if they had a tacit understanding, Yang Kai and Su Yan actually shouted the same sentence, and even their tone and expression were exactly the same.

Xie Hongchen was stunned by the shout！ He looked at Su Yan in pain and said miserably： “Why isn’t he trash？ In terms of identity and status, he is just a trial disciple. In terms of cultivation strength, he is only at the third level of the Kaiyuan Realm. Such a person is trash. How could you take a fancy to him, Junior Sister？”

“Our matter doesn’t need you to worry about！” Su Yan was obviously getting into the role. She also wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Xie Hongchen’s entanglement for so many years, and even used the intimate word “our”.

“Senior Brother, do you know the saying love at first sight？” Yang Kai looked at Xie Hongchen playfully.

“You shut up！” Xie Hongchen roared with a ferocious expression. “When I’m talking to Junior Sister, where is it your turn, a waste, to interrupt？”

Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and sneered continuously.

“A waste is just a waste！” Xie Hongchen’s former calm and unrestrained manner had long been thrown to who-knows-where. Under the jealousy and hatred, his handsome face was distorted and as ugly as it could be. “When I was at your age, I was already at the Qi-moving Realm. You are just at the third level of the Kaiyuan Realm. And now I’m at the peak of the Lihe Realm. There is a difference of two major realms and six minor levels. How can you compare with me？”

“Senior Brother, please wait and see！” Yang Kai didn’t say much. Some things were useless when said out loud. Only by doing them could there be an effect.

“Xie Hongchen, I don’t want to entangle with you here. Get out of the way. Thanks to your Law Enforcement Hall, he was seriously injured. I want to treat his injuries！” Su Yan coldly shouted.

“Today no one is allowed to leave here！” Jie Hongchen roared angrily, looking at Su Yan with pain in his eyes, his body trembling slightly. He ordered, “All disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, if anyone dares to rush out, kill them without mercy！ Even if it’s your Senior Sister Su, don’t show any mercy.”

Love is deep, and hatred is intense. At this moment, Jie Hongchen perfectly interprets the meaning of this sentence.

Hua la la… After a moment of hesitation, more than a hundred disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall immediately moved and surrounded Su Yan and her group again.

“You are determined to do this？” There was a hint of dangerous light in Su Yan’s watery eyes.

Jie Hongchen smiled bitterly： “Junior Sister, I know I’m not your opponent, but if you want to pass through here today, then step over Senior Brother’s corpse！”

He was going to sacrifice himself to achieve benevolence, attempting to use his courage and fearlessness to impress Su Yan.

Su Yan was so angry that her breasts rose and fell continuously！

She was not afraid of the Law Enforcement Hall. Her own strength was as high as the third level of the True Yuan Realm, three small levels higher than Jie Hongchen. Once the Ice Heart Art was unleashed, no one here could stop her.

However… Yang Kai and Li Yuntian and those people were destined not to go to have an easy time.

After all, she was only one person and it’s impossible to protect everyone under her wings.

The scene suddenly froze. Su Yan didn’t dare to lead the people to rush out, and the people of the Law Enforcement Hall didn’t take the initiative to attack either. They just blocked them here.

A group of juniors are making a big fuss here, while the elders of the Lingxiao Pavilion are quarreling fiercely in another place.

In the Elder Hall, Wei Xitong, the Great Elder of the Lingxiao Pavilion, Su Xuanwu, the Second Elder, He Beishui, the Third Elder, Zhou Fei, the Fourth Elder, and You Zizai, the Fifth Elder, have all arrived.

The five elders are sitting in two rows. On one side is headed by the Great Elder Wei Xitong, and the Fourth Elder Zhou Fei and the Fifth Elder You Zizai are sitting in the lower positions.

On the other side are the Second Elder Su Xuanwu and the Third Elder He Beishui.

This is the current elder faction of the Lingxiao Pavilion.

Wei Zhuang and Su Mu, who had a conflict before, are kneeling side by side on the floor below, and they report the things that happened today in turn.

Su Mu speaks first, and what he says is all true. How he was blocked by Wei Zhuang, how he was provoked, had a battle, and how he was humiliated. He said everything in detail without any personal emotion.

After listening to the five elders, they didn’t make a sound, just waiting for Wei Zhuang to say it again.

But the matter is a little different when it comes out of Wei Zhuang’s mouth. At the beginning, it is no different from what Su Mu said, but since the appearance of Yang Kai, Wei Zhuang has done his best to slander, with a glib tongue, and said with snot and tears how excessive Yang Kai is, actually holding a sharp weapon secret treasure, breaking his embroidered cloud chain armor, and attempts to kill people on the spot.

The tone was so bitter that it made those who heard it sad and those who listened shed tears. Coupled with the exaggerated body language, the scene at that time was magnified a hundred or ten times in front of everyone’s eyes.

“You’re talking nonsense！” Su Mu was furious when he heard this and couldn’t help but curse loudly.

“That’s the truth！” Wei Zhuang insisted, taking advantage of the fact that Su Mu was knocked unconscious and didn’t see the situation at that time.

“The truth your mother！ You’re a troublemaker, a liar, a piece of garbage！ You don’t even bother to make up a story.”

“Both of you shut up！” The Great Elder slapped the chair heavily. How could the Great Elder not be angry when Su Mu cursed his daughter-in-law in front of him？ But although he was angry, he couldn’t take action to teach the juniors a lesson for the matters among them.

“Hmph！” The Second Elder snorted coldly.

The Great Elder said, “The matter has been asked. What do you think？”

Although he asked like this, his eyes were always fixed on the Second Elder, Su Xuanwu. Naturally, he wanted to ask his opinion.

Su Xuanwu said, “What do I think?” Isn’t this obvious? It’s just a challenge and play between juniors. Let them handle it themselves. Why bother to disturb theElder?

The Great Elder smiled slightly. The Fourth Elder, Zhou Fei, who always followed the Great Elder’s lead, said, “Second Senior Brother is wrong. At the beginning, this was indeed a competition and contest between juniors. But since that Yang Kai provoked trouble, the nature of the matter has changed.

“How has it changed？ Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he openly challenged Wei Zhuang. He didn’t violate the sect rules. Wei Zhuang’s own strength was insufficient and he was defeated. Who can he blame？” Su Xuanwu was angry that his grandson had been bullied, so his tone of speech naturally wouldn’t be too polite.

The Fourth Elder said, “If he had really just challenged and competed, and defeated Wei Zhuang, it would have been excusable! But that’s not the case. Instead, during the battle, he took out a sharp weapon and used this sharp weapon to break Wei Zhuang’s Embroidery Cloud Chain Armor. The sect rules state that during the fight between disciples, weapons are not allowed to be used! That Yang Kai clearly violated this rule and should be punished!

Su Xuanwu sneered and said, “Fourth, is the sect rule not set like this? The Sect Leader hasn’t come out for many years. Could it be that someone is so bold as to modify the sect rules?

These words were insinuating something, and all the people in the First Elder’s faction couldn’t help but change their expressions. Wei Xitong said, “Oh？ Then Second Junior Brother, tell us, what does the sect rule say？”

Su Xuanwu sneered and said, “The sect rule states that during the match between disciples, weapons are not allowed to be used, nor are any elixirs or secret treasures that enhance one’s own strength allowed to be used! The two sides in the competition can only use their own martial skills and fists and feet! Senior Brother, am I not wrong about this?

The First Elder’s expression was stern, and he nodded and said, “That’s right！”

Chapter Seventy-five – Seventy-six Shopkeeper Meng Arrives

“That’s right!” Why was Wei Zhuang wearing a defensive secret treasure during the competition with Su Mu? Isn’t this a violation of the sect’s rules? And how should it be dealt with?

He didn’t say how Yang Kai should be dealt with, but first tied Wei Zhuang together, which made the Great Elder’s expression freeze, not knowing how to answer.

“If Wei Zhuang really won against Su Mu with his own true ability, it can only be blamed on Su Mu’s poor learning skills. Now Wei Zhuang is relying on the protection of the secret treasure to humiliate my grandson. Do you think I’m made of mud, senior brother？” With a furious shout, Su Xuanwu slapped the armrest of his chair into pieces with a single palm.

Wei Xitong had to lower his stance and said, “Second junior brother, don’t be angry. The defensive secret treasure that Wei Zhuang was wearing was indeed given to him by me. But I just wanted to give him a little more protection for his safety. Who would have thought that the child’s bad nature was too heavy, and he actually relied on the power of the secret treasure to compete with others. This is Wei Zhuang’s fault.

After saying that, he shouted angrily at the bottom: “Wei Zhuang, don’t you still apologize and admit your mistake to your Su junior?

Wei Zhuang was quite well-behaved. Hearing this, he immediately bowed to Su Mu and said, “Su junior, this time it’s Wei senior’s fault. Senior is apologizing to you. Junior, you have a lot of adults. The prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach. I hope you don’t care!

“Hmph！” Su Mu turned his head and ignored him.

But since the words have been said to this point, what else can Su Xuanwu do？

The Great Elder continued, “Wei Zhuang is at fault, but Yang Kai has committed an even greater mistake. Wielding a divine weapon, he almost killed Wei Zhuang. If it weren’t for the timely intervention of the Law Enforcement Hall disciples, Wei Zhuang might have lost his life by now. This matter has had a bad influence, and Yang Kai must be severely punished as a warning to others！”

The Fourth Elder Zhou Fei and the Fifth Elder You Zizai nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The Second Elder sneered and said, “How come Wei Zhuang just has to apologize for breaking the sect rules and it’s over, but Yang Kai has to be severely punished？ Could it be because Wei Zhuang is your grandson, the Grand Elder, that he can enjoy some special privileges？ If so, then what prestige will the Elder Council of our Lingxiao Pavilion have in front of all the disciples？”

Wei Xitong said seriously, “Second junior brother, what you said is wrong. The mistakes made by Yang Kai and Wei Zhuang cannot be compared. Wei Zhuang just wore a defensive secret treasure, just wanting to protect himself and did not intend to harm others. But what Yang Kai took was a secret treasure for killing people, and he wanted to kill. You should be able to tell the difference between the serious and the minor, “Second junior!”

Su Xuanwu said, “I dare to ask the Grand Elder, who saw Yang Kai holding a secret treasure for killing people？ If there is really such a weapon, why didn’t the Law Enforcement Hall search it out from him？ Fourth, has your Law Enforcement Hall reported anything in this regard？”

The Law Enforcement Hall was under the jurisdiction of Fourth Elder Zhou Fei. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, “Although not, but so many people were present at that time and all saw with their own eyes that Yang Kai was holding a blood-red small knife in his hand. This matter can’t be faked. If it wasn’t for the great power of that weapon, Wei Zhuang’s Embroidered Cloud Chain Armor wouldn’t have been destroyed.”

Su Xuanwu coldly snorted, and the Yuan Qi in his body circulated. Suddenly, a slender long sword burst out from his fingertip. This long sword was condensed by Yuan Qi and flickered continuously, obviously with great power.

If this is the case, then isn’t there also a weapon in my hand？” Su Xuanwu coldly looked at the three people opposite.

This is just the exquisite use of Yuan Qi. How can it be regarded as a weapon？” Fifth Elder You Zizai slowly shook his head.

Second Senior Brother means that that Yang Kai, who is only at the Third Layer of the Kaiyuan Realm, has been able to use Yuan Qi to such an extent？” Fourth Elder Zhou Fei looked at Su Xuanwu with a half-smile.

This is simply a joke. Only when a martial artist’s strength reaches the True Yuan Realm and the Yuan Qi in his body turns into True Yuan can he condense such substance. And that Yang Kai, just the Third Layer of the Kaiyuan Realm, is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the True Yuan Realm. How could he have this kind of ability？

I didn’t say that he has controlled Yuan Qi to this extent. Don’t senior brothers forget that there is also the theory of martial skills？” Su Xuanwu snorted.

“Impossible. Even if he used some strange martial skill, a mere martial artist at the third level of the Kaiyuan Realm could never break through the defense of the Embroidered Cloud Chain Mail.” Wei Xitong shook his head repeatedly.

“There is nothing impossible in the world. It can only be said that several senior brothers have lived in the Lingxiao Pavilion for a long time, being obsessed with seizing power and influence, and their thinking is too rigid and has long since fallen behind the times！”

These words were a bit harsh, and Wei Xitong’s face suddenly cooled down： “Second junior brother, do you have to protect that Yang Kai with all your strength？”

“So what if I do!” Su Xuanwu suddenly stood up, “This matter, to put it simply, between juniors. You have to make a fuss about it. Fine I’ll satisfy your pestering. Either punish Yang Kai and Wei Zhuang together. They both violated the rules of the sect, and neither should be let off. Or, this matter will end like this.”

“No way！” Wei Xitong flatly refused, “Even if, as you said, Yang Kai was able to break through the defense of the Embroidered Cloud Chain Mail by using a martial skill, this person is young and his methods are bloody and cruel. When he achieves success in cultivation in the future, he will surely fall into the evil path. Our Lingxiao Pavilion cannot tolerate such a person！”

“He is only at the Kaiyuan Realm. How do you know that he will fall into the evil path in the future？ Could it be that senior brother you can predict the future！”

“Second senior brother…” Fourth Elder Zhou Fei was just about to speak when he was interrupted by a furious shout from Su Xuanwu. Pointing at his nose, Su Xuanwu scolded, “Fourth, before the Sect Master went into seclusion, he appointed you to take charge of the Law Enforcement Hall. After all these years, look at what the Law Enforcement Hall has done？ Where is fairness and impartiality？ If the Law Enforcement Hall only suppresses dissent and helps others fight for power and influence, then what’s the use of keeping it？ Tomorrow, I will report to the Sect Master and ask him to abolish the Law Enforcement Hall！ Damn it, what a thing！”

The Fourth Elder was scolded until he blinked his eyes, but he couldn’t refute. He felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.

“Second junior, what if I insist on expelling Yang Kai from the Lingxiao Pavilion?” Wei Xitong asked with a cold face.

“How dare you！” Su Xuanwu did not back down at all.

“Fine, then let’s follow the rules set by the Sect Master and have a vote. Once the elder passes it, I believe Second junior won’t have any objections, right?

“Hehe, a vote？” Su Xuanwu laughed loudly. “Does First Senior Brother think I, Su Xuanwu, am a fool？ A vote, is there even a need to vote？”

“This won’t do, and that won’t do. What on earth do you want? Do you not even take the rules set by the Sect Master seriously?” Wei Xitong also became angry from the quarrel.

TheElder Hall was filled with a thick cloud of smoke and gunpowder and it seemed that a fight was about to break out at any moment.

“Calm down, everyone calm down. Have a glass of water, have a glass of water, and let’s all cool off.” The Third Elder, who had not spoken all along, interceded from the middle.

The Third Elder had a gentle disposition. Although he stood on the side of the Second Elder, he generally would not participate in any disputes. Moreover, his name was the same as his catchphrase, He Beishui, Have a glass of water！

Whenever there was any friction among the elders, he would persuade them like this, but with little effect.

“I won’t drink！” The First Elder and the Second Elder roared simultaneously, glaring at each other, neither convinced.

The Third Elder had no choice but to drink by himself.

While the elders were arguing, a voice suddenly came from outside the door： “Disciple has an important matter to report to several elders！”

The Fourth Elder frowned and quickly said, “Come in！”

When theElder was discussing matters, ordinary disciples did not dare to disturb. At this time, someone came, and there must have been a major incident in the sect.

Several elders knew the situation and naturally stopped the argument.

After that disciple walked in, the Fourth Elder Zhou Fei asked, “What’s the matter？”

“Reporting to the elders, someone broke into the Sen Prison of the Law Enforcement Hall and rescued Yang Kai and Li Yuntian and others who were causing trouble. At this moment, they are confronting Senior Brother Xie Hongchen at the prison gate.”

“What？” The Fourth Elder stood up on the spot, and the other elders showed even more astonished expressions.

“What kind of person is so bold as to break into the Sen Prison to save people？”

The disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion didn’t dare to answer and just raised his eyelids to look at Su Xuanwu timidly.

Su Xuanwu’s heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.

The Great Elder took all of this into his eyes and had some guesses. Immediately, he calmly ordered, “Speak.”

“It’s… it’s Su Yan, Senior Sister Su！”

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on the Great Elder’s face suddenly became meaningful. Even the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder looked at Su Xuanwu strangely, while the Third Elder still drank water.

Su Xuanwu’s expression changed constantly, gritted his teeth in anger, and shouted: “Did you see clearly? Is the person who broke into Sen Prison really Su Yan?

The disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly said, “The disciple saw it clearly. I still know the name of Senior Sister Su Yan. If the Second Elder doesn’t believe it, he can go and take a look himself!

“No need.” Su Xuanwu waved his hand, closed his eyes and daydreaming. After a while, he really felt a clear and cold over there in Sen Prison. Besides Su Yan no one else in the entire xiao Pavilion could have this coolness.

That girl really doesn’t know the seriousness and is extremely bold！

“Second Junior Brother, what do you think of this matter？” The Great Elder smiled and sipped his tea. After Su Xuanwu retracted his divine sense, he then asked leisurely.

At this moment, the Great Elder had a well-thought-out plan.

If we say that just now neither side was willing to back down, then now there is a breakthrough.

What kind of place is the Forest Prison！ It is the important place of the Lingxiao Pavilion to detain the disciples who have made mistakes！ Whether Yang Kai is at fault or not, as long as he is locked in there, he has to stay there until the matter is settled.

Now it’s good. Su Yan rushed in and fished the person out. She showed momentary courage but violated the rules of the Lingxiao Pavilion. This is a serious offense！

If it is not handled well, even Su Yan will be punished！

Wei Xitong knew that Su Xuanwu would definitely not let Su Yan be implicated. Since this is the case, he has to make a concession, and what is conceded is naturally that disciple named Yang Kai！

Speaking of which, none of the five elders knew Yang Kai. The main reason why they made a big fuss about him today was to make use of the topic to compete for the dominance in the Lingxiao Pavilion.

And now, the Great Elder felt that he could win.

After this matter spreads, the disciples below will naturally think that the Great Elder’s faction can influence the decision-making and trend of the Lingxiao Pavilion. In this way, the goal can be achieved.

Su Xuanwu’s face was ashen, and after struggling for a long time, he finally said angrily, “Whatever the Big Brother wants to do, just do it！”

Su Yan has become a constraint. How could Su Xuanwu have the heart to continue making trouble with them？ In order to ensure that Su Yan is not punished, Yang Kai can only be sacrificed.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will always be firewood. There will always be opportunities to get back at them in the future！

“Old ghost！” As soon as Su Mu heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and looked at Su Xuanwu in disbelief.

“What did you call me？” Su Xuanwu was almost driven crazy by these two siblings.

“Grandpa！ You can’t do this！” Su Mu quickly changed his words.

“This matter has nothing to do with you！” Su Xuanwu glared at him fiercely.

“Senior Brother Yang has a life-saving grace for me. You can’t ignore him. If you ignore him, then you are ungrateful！”

“Shut up！” Su Xuanwu was so angry that his face turned red. Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, now that the other was the butcher’s knife and he was the fish on the chopping board, what could he do？

To prevent Su Mu from chattering anymore, Su Xuanwu launched a finger attack from a distance. Su Mu immediately froze in place like a statue, unable to speak or move, and could only watch and listen.

“I’ll deal with you when we get back！” Su Xuanwu snorted hot air from his nostrils.

“Hehe！” The Great Elder smiled with satisfaction. “Since Second Junior Brother has no objections, then this matter is decided like this.”

After that, he looked at the disciples below and said, “Pass the order. The trial disciple Yang Kai has repeatedly violated the sect rules and his methods are bloody and cruel. Order the Law Enforcement Hall to capture him and bring him back to the Forest Prison. Wait for the elder to discuss and then make a decision. As for Su Yan… considering her young age and ignorance, and it’s her first offense, we won’t pursue it. What do you think, several Junior Brothers?”

How could the other elders have any objections？

“Go！” With a wave of his hand, the Great Elder sent out a token, which landed right in the hand of that disciple.

The Elder Token, seeing the token is like seeing the person！ With this token, Su Yan wouldn’t dare to act rashly anymore.

“Yes！” Receiving the order, that disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall quickly retreated.

Moments later, a sudden, rapid and short scream came from the door, followed by the sound of a body falling to the ground. The complexions of several elders changed, and they were just about to get up and check when a voice came from outside.

“What great prestige the elders have.” As the voice sounded an old man with sparse white hair slowly walked in. He was carrying the Law Enforcement Hall disciple who had just gone out in his hand, but now he had been knocked unconscious, and even the Elder Token had been snatched by this old man.

This old man walked up to Wei Zhuang and Su Mu who were kneeling on the ground, and casually kicked out, sending Wei Zhuang flying to the side： “Get out of the way！”

Wei Zhuang flew out with a response and let out a miserable cry.

The five elders in the Elder Hall had serious expressions. Wei Xitong narrowed his eyes and looked at the newcomer and said, “Shopkeeper Meng？”

The newcomer was none other than Meng Wuya from the Contribution Hall！

Speaking of this person, the five elders were all confused.

A dozen years ago, he suddenly came to the Lingxiao Pavilion. Nobody knew what relationship he had with the Sect Master, and yet he was allowed to live in the pavilion and take charge of the Contribution Hall. The five elders had inquired about this person’s information from the Sect Master on many occasions, but every time the Sect Master was evasive, leaving them confused.

However, the five elders all knew that this person was a powerhouse！ And a powerhouse who was definitely not inferior to themselves.

Fortunately, this person didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives. He just spent his days in the Contribution Hall, minding his own business and being law-abiding. Only then did the five elders stop paying attention to him.

But who would have thought that today he would come uninvited to the Elder’s Hall.

Wei Xitong had a faint feeling that when facing this Manager Meng, the pressure he felt was even greater than when facing the Sect Master! because of this, Wei Xitong didn’t dare to neglect Manager Meng.

With a smile, Wei Xitong said, “I wonder what brings Manager Meng to our Elder’s Hall？”

Meng Wuya didn’t answer, but just looked at Su Xuanwu with a smile. The latter was stared at inexplicable and thought to himself There’s no flower growing on my face, why is he looking at me?

“Do you think your decision is correct？” Meng Wuya suddenly asked.

“What？” Su Xuanwu was stunned.
