Chapter 153 Master and Disciple Draw Swords Against Each Other
"Hmph, my position as the head of the family was naturally passed down to me by my master. What, wasn't your position as the head of the family passed down to you by your master?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi let out a heavy snort and said coldly, his short, fat face flashing with anger.

Despite his seemingly petty nature, Tian Buyi is actually quite broad-minded.

Even if he had various grudges with Daoist Cangsong, it was just something that fellow disciples couldn't stand. He still had great respect for Daoist Cangsong.

But who could have imagined that Cangsong Daoren, who had always been in charge of the Punishment Hall, would suddenly betray Daoxuan Zhenren and the Qingyun Sect?

This betrayal undoubtedly enraged Tian Buyi, especially when he heard Cangsong Daoren mention the position of head disciple, which made him even more unbearable.

The Taoist Cangsong was surprised to find that Tian Buyi, who was usually tongue-tied, also had such a sharp tongue, and for a moment he did not know how to respond.

After realizing what was happening, Daoist Cangsong let out a cold snort and said angrily.

"Tian Buyi, stop talking nonsense. Yes, your position as the head disciple was indeed passed down to you by Uncle Zheng Tong, but what were you like back then? We are all fellow disciples, and everyone knows perfectly well what you were like."

Even though he disliked Tian Buyi, Daoist Cangsong ultimately did not disrespect his elders, after all, he was once a disciple of Qingyun Sect.

As he spoke, Daoist Cangsong let out a soft snort, speaking with considerable disdain.

"Hmph! You, Tian Buyi, were just a stupid and incompetent disciple on Dazhu Peak back then. If it weren't for Senior Brother Wan saying that you had inner wisdom and imparting his cultivation insights to you, you would have been just an ordinary disciple. Why would Uncle-Master Zheng Tong have taken a liking to you?"

"Since that's the case, then you're welcome to try. I, Tian Buyi, admit that I am no match for Senior Brother Wan, but dealing with you, Cangsong, is a piece of cake!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi's face immediately darkened. He snorted angrily, took a step forward, and his aura surged as he attacked Cangsong Daoist.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Cangsong's expression stiffened. He opened his mouth but could only let out a soft snort, seemingly speechless at Tian Buyi's words. He could only speak coldly.

"So what? If it weren't for Senior Brother Wan, where would you be today? But what about you? How have you repaid Senior Brother Wan? Huh?"

Seeing that Tian Buyi did not answer, Daoist Cangsong sneered again and spoke.

"You dare not say it? Then let me tell you. Back then, everyone in Qingyun knew that Senior Brother Wan was in love with Junior Sister Su, but you stole her away."

"Enough, Senior Brother Cangsong. My wife and I have always respected Senior Brother Wan. Back then, Buyi and I were in love, and even Senior Brother Wan blessed us."

Su Ru immediately shouted, her eyes clear. Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangsong sneered and said disdainfully.

"How could Senior Brother Wan, with his pride, possibly act like an ordinary person and reveal it, or engage in such bitter entanglement?"

Dao Xuan Zhenren, who was being protected by Tian Buyi, had a rather inexplicable expression and a deep gaze. Xiao Yicai, who was serving his master, felt for some reason that his master's pale face seemed to be trying hard to suppress a smile.

As for the group of righteous cultivators inside the Jade Purity Hall, they all stared at the scene before them with strange expressions. Although none of them spoke, their eyes and expressions were quite interesting.

Master Shuiyue, standing next to Su Ru, couldn't help but speak up in anger.

"Cangsong, you are narrow-minded, so don't judge others by your own standards and slander my junior sister and senior brother Wan's reputation."

"Heh heh, Shuiyue, you have the nerve to talk back to me? Everyone knows how desperately you loved Senior Brother Wan back then, and how he loved and protected you in return. But what did you do to repay him?"

When Master Shuiyue spoke, the mocking expression on Daoist Cangsong's face deepened.

But to everyone's surprise, Master Shuiyue was furious and pointed at Daoist Cangsong, cursing him.

"I think you've really gone mad. Your mind is dark and you've fallen into the demonic path, so stop using Senior Brother Wan's name to act. You're not worthy!"

"Haha! Haha! That's right, I'm crazy, I've been crazy for a long time!" Upon hearing this, Daoist Cangsong not only did not refute, but also burst into laughter. Then, he glared at Daoist Xuan, who was being protected by Tian Buyi, with a resentful expression, and said coldly.

"Dao Xuan, you are powerful, and I am indeed no match for you. However, someone will deal with you!"

"You really have colluded with the evil cult!"

Dao Xuan Zhenren took a deep breath and said with a hint of disappointment.

Even though he knew the truth long ago, Dao Xuan Zhenren still couldn't believe, emotionally, that his junior brother would take this step.

Colluding with the Demonic Cult, falling into the Demonic Cult's clutches, and joining forces with the Demonic Cult to attack Qingyun are two completely different concepts.

"You noticed it after all!"

Daoist Cangsong took a deep breath. He had a vague premonition before, otherwise he would have definitely taken the opportunity to poison Dao Xuan Zhenren.

The next moment, Daoist Cangsong suddenly turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice.

"It's you. So, you've always remembered everything that night."

"That's right, Master Uncle shouldn't have used that sword, and even more so, he shouldn't have passed it on to Jingyu!"

Zhang Xiaofan simply stared coldly at Cangsong Daoren, but Lin Jingyu, standing beside Zhang Xiaofan, reacted extremely strongly.

Previously, the fact that Daoist Cangsong had ambushed Dao Xuan Zhenren had already stunned Lin Jingyu, leaving him staring blankly at him.

At this moment, Lin Jingyu finally realized that his mentor was the demonic cultist who attacked the monk Puzhi in Caomiao Village that night.

It's even quite possible that he's the very same murderer who slaughtered the entire village of Caomiao!
"Qiang!"

The Dragon-Slaying Sword was instantly drawn, emitting a resounding clang. Lin Jingyu pointed the sword directly at the Pine Immortal, and two streams of hot tears flowed from his resolute eyes.

With his arms trembling, Lin Jingyu stared at his unfamiliar mentor, his teeth chattering. In his mind, however, he recalled what Zhang Xiaofan had said to him nearly two years ago when he went to Dazhu Peak.

'Even if you're going to attack, you shouldn't be pointing this sword at me!'

It turns out that this sword was the murder weapon. Ironically, this murder weapon almost caused the two to turn against each other.

"Why? Master, why?"

Faced with Lin Jingyu's gaze, Daoist Cangsong panicked, especially when he saw Lin Jingyu's disappointed, even resentful, eyes, which caused Daoist Cangsong a sharp pain in his heart.

After taking a deep breath, Daoist Cangsong lowered his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

"If I were to say that I wasn't the one who attacked back then, would you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyu was suddenly startled, his arms trembling uncontrollably. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan reached out and gently grabbed Lin Jingyu's shoulder.

This is something no one can accept.

Ironically, the truth is that the two orphans from Caomiao Village were given this heavy fate by their very mentor.
