Chen Ping and Yuan Xing traveled among the various mountain peaks.

The Primordial Holy Land is vast, with three thousand peaks stretching endlessly inside and outside. Even a half-saint would need half a day to travel the entire holy land.

As Chen Ping passed a mountain peak, he caught a glimpse of a woman's figure in front of the peak, and felt that she looked quite familiar.

Upon closer inspection, he was astonished to find that it was Qin Mengyao, whom he had met a month ago.

However, Qin Mengyao looked haggard and weak at this moment, with a faint handprint on her cheek.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping immediately descended from the sky and landed beside Qin Mengyao.

Seeing the girl who was lively and cheerful just a month ago, patiently explaining the knowledge of spirit beasts to him, now turned into this, Chen Ping's expression darkened slightly.

"Junior Sister Qin, what's wrong? You don't look well?"

Qin Mengyao was busy organizing the medicinal herbs needed for the spirit beasts, and was extremely exhausted. She didn't even notice Chen Ping standing beside her.

After a moment, she realized what was happening, looked up and saw Chen Ping, and quickly said:

"Greetings, senior brother. I'm sorry, I was just too tired and didn't notice you."

"If you're tired, go and rest. You can't keep pushing yourself like this," Chen Ping said.

Qin Mengyao looked helpless upon hearing this.

"I have too many tasks. I can't help it. If I don't complete them, I'll be kicked out of Spirit Beast Peak. I can't be kicked out."

Qin Mengyao also wanted to rest, but the work piled up on her shoulders made it hard for her to breathe.

She had absolutely no room to stop.

If you fail to complete the mission, you will be kicked out of the Holy Land.

She came to the Primordial Holy Land carrying the hopes of her entire family, and never wanted to return in such a wretched state.

I don't want to see my family's hopeful eyes dimmed.

She gritted her teeth and continued to tidy up the medicinal herbs beside her.

Chen Ping observed this and turned to Yuan Xing beside him, asking:

"Are all the chores at Spirit Beast Peak this strenuous? Could they really leave a disciple like this?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xing immediately shook his head and said:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Although the treatment of menial disciples is not as good as that of outer disciples, they only need to do the chores they can manage on a daily basis, and they also have a lot of time to cultivate. Junior Sister Qin is a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is no way she would be so tired. There must be something fishy going on."

Yuan Xing's voice was loud, instantly attracting the attention of the other miscellaneous disciples from the Spirit Beast Peak.

"She couldn't complete the task herself, so who can she blame!"

Just then, a woman with a high ponytail and a fierce look in her eyes walked over quickly.

This person was Shen Cui, the handyman disciple in charge of managing this area, and the leader of the group.

She walked up to Qin Mengyao and harshly rebuked her:

"Get to work honestly, stop playing the victim, or I'll kick you out of Spirit Beast Peak right now!"

Chen Ping looked at Shen Cui, his brows furrowing slightly.

The next second, Chen Ping caught a glimpse of the storage bag hanging from Shen Cui's waist, the very one he had given to Qin Mengyao a month ago.

How did it end up on Shen Cui?

Chen Ping's expression instantly darkened completely, and he looked at Qin Mengyao and asked:

"Junior Sister Qin, do you still have the storage bag I gave you the other day?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mengyao trembled slightly.

She remembered being bullied by Shen Cui a few days ago, and having her storage bag forcibly taken away. She wanted to fight back.

However, Shen Cui threatened to expel her from Spirit Beast Peak, leaving her with no choice but to compromise.

She was filled with grievances at the time, but thinking about how she had endured so many years, she finally held back.

When Chen Ping brought it up, she could no longer suppress the grievances that had been building up in her heart for many years, and she burst into tears on the spot.

Chen Ping was the first person in the past ten years to treat her so well. She lost control of her emotions instantly, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Seeing Qin Mengyao's reaction, Yuan Xing instantly understood everything and his gaze fell on the storage bag at Shen Cui's waist.

Remembering how Shen Cui had stolen a thousand top-grade spirit stones from Qin Mengyao, she immediately flew into a rage and began to curse:

"Holy crap, have you no shame? Not only did you steal my junior sister's spirit stones, but you also deliberately made things difficult for her, assigning her so much heavy work!"

Yuan Xing was red-faced with embarrassment. Even though he was an outer disciple and occasionally gained some benefits, he had never bullied his disciples like this, let alone pushed them to this point.

It was obvious that all the work that Qin Mengyao was given was deliberately arranged by Shen Cui.

They're robbing us of resources and assigning us heavy workloads; they're clearly trying to drive us to our deaths. It's utterly insane.

Chen Ping already knew the cause and effect. He looked at Shen Cui with an icy expression.

"You'd better return the storage bag right now, and explain in detail how you've bullied and exploited Junior Sister Qin all these years, and go to the sect to accept your punishment."

"Otherwise, if I take action, things might not end well."

Chen Ping spoke calmly, yet each word carried an undeniable authority.

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of other disciples from Spirit Beast Peak, who gathered around to see what had happened.

Qin Mengyao has been bullied and exploited by Shen Cui for years. All the disciples around her have seen it, but they are also under Shen Cui's jurisdiction and can hardly protect themselves, so no one dares to step forward to stop her.

When Shen Cui saw that her despicable behavior over the years had been exposed in public, she immediately became furious and ashamed.

"Which peak are you from? How dare you spout nonsense on my Spirit Beast Peak! Believe me, I'll report you to the elders immediately and have you severely punished!"

She saw the outer disciple token on Yuan Xing's body and decided to stop pretending. They were all outer disciples, so there was no need for anyone to be afraid of anyone else.

Moreover, she has powerful backers on Spirit Beast Peak; she is the great-granddaughter of an elder of Spirit Beast Peak.

Shen Cui continued to shout arrogantly in the same spot, attracting more and more disciples to watch. Even the outer disciples of the Spirit Beast Peak who were in charge of other areas were drawn over.

The disciples looked at Shen Cui and whispered among themselves, their faces full of disdain.

Shen Cui, relying on her status as a relative of an elder, has always been arrogant and domineering among the outer disciples, and has bullied Qin Mengyao more than once.

Although the crowd disapproved, they dared not offend them and could only turn a blind eye.

Yuan Xing looked at the disciples of the Spirit Beast Peak who were gathering around him, and his heart was filled with unease.

He wasn't afraid of these Spirit Beast Peak disciples, but he clearly sensed the anger emanating from Chen Ping.

Back on the flying boat, he never sensed any emotional fluctuation from Chen Ping, yet Chen Ping effortlessly killed Shen Hao and Xie Yu'er.

Now that Chen Ping is clearly angry, Yuan Xing doesn't even dare to think about what will happen next.

Shen Cui remained arrogant, completely disregarding Chen Ping and Yuan Xing.

Seeing Chen Ping standing still, she couldn't help but sneer. A few words of intimidation had no effect on her at all.

She then turned to leave.

So what if she deliberately suppressed Qin Mengyao? So what if she forcibly took Qin Mengyao's things?

As long as the matter doesn't reach the ears of the sect's higher-ups, no one will care.

Even if word gets back to the higher-ups, Qin Mengyao is just an insignificant handyman disciple, so who would stand up for her?

Shen Cui walked briskly, still calculating in her mind how to spend those five thousand top-grade spirit stones.

But the next second, she felt a chill on her neck, and then her vision began to spin.

Her face was filled with terror, and the next moment, she saw her headless body still walking.

What exactly is going on?
