Chapter 372 A Deeper Conspiracy

"what--"

Liu Yi's screams were mixed with furious curses.

"Feng Yang, are you going to violate the sect rules and kill your fellow disciples?"

"Meng Duanyue, are you just going to stand by and watch? He's going to kill me now. If you don't stop him, you'll all be his accomplices!"

"Aren't you afraid that if the sect finds out what you've done today, they will severely punish you?"

"Ah—help me, help me!"

Burning with intense heat, Liu Yi screamed in agony, wanting to curl up into a ball and roll on the ground.

However, his limbs were completely bound by the fire rain, and he was unable to move at all.

"You...you killed me! The sect will not let you get away with this!"

Everyone thought this person was incredibly shameless.

Even Nanran was speechless.

Has this man forgotten that he just boasted that as long as the sect doesn't know, no one can do anything to him?

Did he think that if Feng Yang and Senior Sister Meng killed him now, they would not report the truth when they returned, but instead say that he had murdered his fellow disciples?

Or is it the kind of infighting among fellow disciples that happens without any reason?
not to mention--

She's still here!
Even if he or she is of low status and speaks little, even if they stand up to testify, the high-ranking elders of the sect might not necessarily pay them any attention.

But she has the trump card: the big white dog!
If others stand up to testify, they might not believe it, but surely they wouldn't not believe the sect leader himself?

That would be a bit of a reversal of the natural order.

Before Meng Duanyue could say anything, Feng Yang interrupted, his tone vicious: "Then you're probably mistaken, or perhaps you're just old and your memory is failing. In such a short time, you've already forgotten what you said before?"

“You, you—” Liu Yi certainly hadn’t forgotten.

But it is precisely because he has not forgotten that now that the tables have turned, he feels even more fearful.

When Feng Yang and his group were the fish on the chopping block, and he was the butcher, he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said before. But now, their status and position are completely different!

Now that they are at his mercy, he is like a fish on a chopping board... Of course, he hopes that these people can be bound by the sect's rules.

"What do you mean by you, and what do I mean by me?"

Feng Yang sneered: "Let this inner sect senior brother know that you died on the spot because you deserted the group without permission, disobeyed orders, and were attacked by a Mahayana stage demon beast after being separated from the group, leaving no trace of your body!"

With a malicious look, he returned all the words that Liu Yi had said to Meng Duanyue not long ago.

"I advise you not to make a futile struggle!"

"Hurry up and find a decent way to die!"

Feng Yang chuckled twice: "Of course, we are different from you, Senior Brother. Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will carefully burn your body to ashes. I will never feed it to any demon beast to crunch it up."

"you!"

Liu Yi was furious: "Aren't you afraid that if this gets back to the sect, they won't let you off the hook?"

"Feng Yang, you are harming your fellow disciples, which violates the sect rules. The sect's enforcement team will not let you off the hook!"

"And all of you are accomplices!"

Everyone looked at him speechlessly, thinking that this person was really not smart enough.

Since they are all accomplices, why would they go and turn themselves in to the sect's enforcement team?
not to mention--

"Liu Yi, you don't need to say these distorted things here, treating us like fools, and trying to sow discord."

"You insulted Junior Sister Nanran first. After being taught a lesson by Junior Sister Nanran's disciple, you showed no remorse and instead became even more ruthless, wanting to kill your fellow disciples."

"What's worse, he secretly concealed his actions from the sect and, through some unknown means, contracted a long-tailed deer. He even used the lives of his fellow disciples to feed his contracted demon beast to improve his cultivation. His deeds are simply too numerous to mention and are intolerable to the heavens."

"We are only doing this to protect ourselves and to act on behalf of Heaven."

Liu Yi roared frantically, "Even if I am guilty, it should be the sect's law enforcement team that judges me, not you who are using vigilante justice here."

"Your actions are blatant disregard for sect rules and an act of cruelty against your fellow disciples!"

"The sect will not let you get away with this."

He had a good plan: as long as he could save his life for the time being, he would have a way to mediate once he returned to his sect.

Moreover, he did say that the reason why the Long-tailed Feathered Deer's cultivation level improved so quickly was because it had devoured many of its fellow disciples from the Beast Taming Sect.

But what can we do about it?
What can these people do to him if they have no evidence?

Liu Yi was completely unaware that his arrogant and smug words had already been relayed back to the Beast Taming Sect.

Elder Jiarong has now arrived with his men!
Whether the sect will let us go or not is a matter for after you die.

With a determined heart, Feng Yang intensified the rain of fire that rained down on Liu Yi.

"Ah! Long-tailed deer, are you dead? Hurry up and save me—"

"No, you can't kill me! The sect has rules against killing fellow disciples—ah!"

Liu Yi's screams grew louder and louder, rising from low to high, then gradually falling back down until they were almost inaudible.

Feng Yang manipulated the rain of fire, which gradually condensed into the shape of a long sword. Just as he was about to end Liu Yi's life with a single strike, Nan Ran stepped out.

"stop!"

Feng Yang's eyes widened immediately, followed by barely concealed panic.

"Master, Master..." Oh no! Could it be that Master thinks he is harming his fellow disciples?
I wonder how much of Liu Yi's nonsense his master actually listened to.

Don't let us only hear Liu Yi's side of the story!

"Junior Sister Nanran!" Meng Duanyue looked over with surprise and delight. After carefully examining the person, she finally felt relieved: "It's good that you're alright."

Then she explained, "...Liu Yi brought this upon himself. If this person is not eliminated, he will inevitably become a major threat to the Beast Taming Sect in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

With Uncle-Master Meng stepping forward to explain, Master should believe that he did not harm his fellow disciples, right?

Nan Ran shook his head: "Liu Yi deserves to die, but he was right about one thing: we can't resort to vigilante justice. At the very least, we should bring him back to the sect!"

Meng Duanyue frowned slightly in disapproval: "Right now, Liu Yi is seriously injured, and his natal contracted beast is also restricted in its ability to perform. That's why we've managed to control him. If we don't kill him immediately, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble in the future!"

"In times of emergency, one must act expediently. Junior Sister Nanran, this is not the time to be overly kind!"

Although Long-tailed Deer was held back by Liu Yi's serious injury, she could still break through their blockade, even if her master arrived, as long as she wanted, she could escape with Liu Yi!
Nan Ran nodded: "I know, I don't have a senior sister who's all-powerful."

The reason we kept him was because—

She paused slightly, considering her words: "The fellow disciples that Liu Yi mentioned earlier, whose identities he harmed, are still unknown."

Meng Duanyue blinked, seemingly not quite understanding. "What I mean is, don't you senior sisters find it strange?"

Nan Ran let out a soft breath: "Liu Yi said that his contracted demon beast ate many fellow disciples, which is why his cultivation level improved so quickly. If you look closely at his natal contracted demon beast, you can indeed see that it is covered in a lot of blood."

"But to raise a demon beast's cultivation level so quickly and so high, it's not something that can be done by killing a few or a dozen people."

"However, if a large number of people in the sect went missing or died unexpectedly in a short period of time, it would have already attracted the attention of the sect's higher-ups."

"Even within the Beast Taming Sect, whether inner or outer disciples, they must have heard some rumors to varying degrees."

"In that case, how could panic not have been created long ago?"

"Everyone will inevitably feel insecure because of this."

"But senior sister, think carefully, has anything like this happened in the past year?"

"Although this long-tailed deer has a high cultivation level, its foundation is unstable. Although it has the cultivation level of the third stage of the Mahayana stage, the strength it can exert is at most the fifth stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

"This also shows that this long-tailed deer's cultivation level has only increased rapidly in recent times."

"So, Liu Yi himself confessed to massacring his fellow disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, but in reality, there haven't been many missing disciples—Does Senior Sister think this situation is reasonable?"

Following Nan Shu's instructions, Nan Ran roughly analyzed the reasons why Liu Yi could not be killed.

"If the sect disciples who were killed were simply concealed by Liu Yi using some underhanded methods, then the matter would be simple."

"If we investigate carefully, we can always find out."

"I'm afraid!"

Nan Ran's gaze sharpened: "These people are clearly dead, sacrifices to the long-tailed deer, but in reality, there are still people using their identities to openly and brazenly walk within the Beast Taming Sect!"

That would be the real threat.

Meng Duanyue and the others were stunned when they heard what Nan Ran said.

especially--

Upon hearing Nan Ran's words, Liu Yi visibly panicked: "You, you, you, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, we can find out by examining it carefully."

Liu Yi originally wanted to curse loudly, but then he thought of the person behind him and became less flustered.

It would be great to return to the Beast Taming Sect!

As long as he can return to the Beast Taming Sect, he will naturally find a way to get away unharmed.

Even if that person betrays him and refuses to protect him, he has nothing to fear with the Long-tailed Feathered Deer, his natal contracted demon beast at the Mahayana stage!
At worst, we can just run away.

At that time, he will pass the message on to the adults, and he will also have a place to stay.

More likely, he will be given an important position by the adults because he reported the news in a timely manner.

Liu Yi stopped making a fuss.

Quietly, she began to thank Nanran.

Thank goodness, thank goodness this idiot appeared!

Otherwise, he might really have been killed by that hothead Feng Yang!
And that useless long-tailed deer!

What a critical moment! And she's still throwing a tantrum!

They really have no sense of priorities!
He used to feed it so diligently, what a heartless thing!
He shouldn't have assumed it was female. He thought that even if the adults' methods couldn't cultivate a powerful demon beast, it would be nice to have it as a furnace beast slave once it could transform into human form.

Moreover, using dual cultivation is a better, safer, and gentler way to transfer the cultivation of the long-tailed deer to him.

There are no drawbacks.

As for whether the long-tailed deer will be harmed—who cares, it's none of his business!

Liu Yi had already planned to make the best use of everything.

If the long-tailed deer dies, it can only be because it was unworthy and did not have the good fortune to sacrifice itself for it.

You have no one to blame!

Liu Yi had a good plan, but he hadn't considered that—

"Do you want to break the contract with him?" Nan Ran walked over to the creature, which was extremely weak and listless because it had been implicated by Liu Yi and because of the contract, Liu Yi had used a secret technique to control it and transfer most of the damage to it.

Hearing Nan Ran's words out of the blue, it was somewhat uncertain.

It was as if he doubted that he had misheard.

[Me? Break the contract? With him?] How is that possible?
If it could break the contract with this bastard, it would have done so long ago. Even if it meant death, it didn't want to risk its life for this idiot anymore, and it was destined that even if it did, it would not have a good ending.

Nan Ran said firmly, "Yes, with him, are you willing to break the contract?"

The long-tailed deer stared at Nan Ran for a long while.

"[Can you let me break off the contract with him?]" After saying that, it realized it was impossible.

He will not agree to terminate the contract with me, not even if you use torture to force him.
Long-tailed deer knew very well that it was Liu Yi's last resort.

He was still hoping that I could help him escape and find that person!
"I don't need his permission!" Nan Ran said firmly, but in reality, she lacked confidence.

She couldn't help but look down at the big white dog in her arms, silently asking: How can I help it break its contract with Liu Yi without needing Liu Yi's consent?
Nan Shu transmitted his voice to her: "Just tell me to lift the ban."

"What the heck?" Nan Ran asked, her voice cracking as she stared wide-eyed at the big white dog in her arms. This also drew the attention of the others, who all looked over at her.

Meng Duanyue and the others were still discussing how to deal with Liu Yi so that he would have no way to escape.

By this time, they all believed what Nan Ran said, but keeping Liu Yi and sending him back to the Beast Taming Sect was not an easy task.

Who knows if Liu Yi might have some other tricks up his sleeve?

He is trapped now entirely because he was caught off guard by Feng Yang's move.

In addition, the long-tailed deer in the Mahayana stage did not seem to be very cooperative with him, which gave them the opportunity to turn the tide!

They were all startled when they suddenly heard Nan Ran's almost broken voice scream, thinking that Liu Yi had done something.

-|||

Looking at Liu Yi, who was perfectly fine but still bound by the fire rain and unable to move, I couldn't help but wonder what had just happened.

Nan Ran smiled awkwardly: "N-nothing!"

"I just accidentally stepped on a pebble and twisted my ankle."

Although the crowd was somewhat suspicious, they did not press the matter further.

Nan Ran grabbed the big white dog's ear and gritted her teeth in a low voice, "What do you mean? Explain yourself! What do you mean I can just say 'cancel'?"

If the contract has been reported to Heaven and is in effect, how can it be dissolved simply by her saying "can it be dissolved"?
That's bullshit!
