Enjoying the fruits of others' labor! How does a sect's holy son break through the defense

"What method? Please enlighten us, Second Elder?"

Seeing Zhao Yueqing's anxious expression, Li Peng became less anxious.

"I want to know, why are you in such a hurry to kill Lü Tu?"

"Please sit down! Take your time."

Zhao Yueqing took a deep breath and sat down.

"What else could it be?"

"Lü Tu slapped me in the face in front of everyone in the main hall."

"Furthermore, the sect leader used a honey trap to win over Lü Tu, placing Luan Yang by his side. Isn't the meaning obvious?"

Of course!

In addition, he was extremely jealous of Lü Tu's talent.

The fact that he became a Spirit King in one step was a huge blow to him.

After all, jealousy can become a demon.

Li Peng suddenly realized and chuckled.

"Oh, I see."

"What was the sect leader thinking? He clearly knows you've liked Luan Yang since you were little, so why did he arrange things like this? He completely doesn't care about your feelings."

"Actually, you are outstanding in appearance and talented, and you and Luan Yang are a perfect match. If nothing unexpected happens, you two will definitely end up together."

"But then Lü Tu suddenly appeared, isn't that like having your wife stolen?"

Zhao Yueqing grew angrier as he listened, clenching his fists and muttering.

"My father is a very upright person, and he would never help me in this kind of situation, so I have no choice but to come to you, my senior uncle, for help."

He knew that Li Peng and Lü Tu had become mortal enemies.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; the two of them are bound to conspire together.

Li Peng chuckled.

"If you really want to kill Lü Tu, I do have a way, but it's extremely risky."

"Uncle-Master, you said that as long as we can kill that bastard, I'm willing to take any risks."

Seeing the murderous intent about to burst forth in Zhao Yueqing's eyes, Li Peng flipped his hand.

A small jade bottle appeared in his palm.

"This is called the Corrosive Vein Poison! It's colorless and odorless."

"Taking it can sever one's meridians, damage one's dantian, and cause one to lose all cultivation."

"Even if someone at the Spirit King realm takes it, it'll still be the same... Hmph."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yueqing's eyes lit up.

"How could they be so domineering?"

But just as he was about to take the small jade bottle, his hand suddenly stopped.

He seemed to have figured something out, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Why would Li Peng possess such a vicious poison?

Why can even a Spirit King realm cultivator be crippled?

Who is Li Peng targeting?

The first person that flashed through his mind was...

Ye Linxiao!

"Uncle-Master, you...you..."

Seeing that Zhao Yueqing seemed to have guessed, Li Peng did not hide anything.

"My dear nephew!"

"The rules of our Cloud Sect do not follow the family tradition of succession. Anyone can become the sect leader as long as they have sufficient strength and make significant contributions."

"Think about how much your father has sacrificed for the sect over the years? He dedicated his entire life to the Cloud Sect, working tirelessly and diligently."

"If it weren't for Ye Zhentian's sudden rise to prominence back then, the sect leader should be your father now, and you should be the sect's holy son, the sect's only crown prince."

"But what about now?"

At this point, Li Peng placed the small jade bottle on the table.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and sighed.

"Actually, I never intended to harm the Holy Son. I only obtained this Corrosive Vein Poison by chance."

"But this time, I'm completely heartbroken."

"Lu Tu killed Jing He, whom I had carefully nurtured for many years. As his master, I only wanted to avenge my beloved disciple. Was that wrong?"

"But you also saw what the sect's attitude was?"

"The sect leader led the way in protecting and indulging him, and even colluded with the Holy Son to frame my disciple Jinghe with so many unfounded crimes in order to protect Lü Tu, so that my disciple would bear the infamy even after death."

Li Peng turned to look at Zhao Yueqing, his eyes red and filled with uncontrollable grief.

"Jinghe has been in the sect for twenty years, and like you, he's a Jade Leaf level disciple. He was originally a pillar that the sect was focusing on cultivating. Even if he didn't make any great contributions, he must have put in a lot of hard work, right? There should be some goodwill between us, shouldn't there?"

"But what about now? What's the outcome?"

"Jing He was killed so casually by Lü Tu, yet the sect's punishment for him was merely three days of confinement?"

"You must understand that what Jinghe is going through today will also be your fate one day."

"How can I not be angry and heartbroken when the sect is so cold-blooded?"

Li Peng's words made Zhao Yueqing's breathing become more and more rapid, and his fists clenched uncontrollably.

The more he thought about it, the colder his spine became.

Just because Lü Tu is talented, the sect doesn't treat these pillars of society as human beings?

On what grounds?

Especially Li Peng's line, "Jinghe's fate today will become your fate one day."

These words made him feel increasingly disheartened.

Seeing Zhao Yueqing lower his head and remain silent, Li Peng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

He sighed in a tone that suggested, "I'm doing this for your own good."

"Yueqing, I've watched you grow up, and I've always considered you like a son."

"I have lived a lonely life without a wife or children. Now that Jinghe is dead, if you are willing, I can take you as my adopted son, and we can work together to accomplish great things in the future."

"Your father is old and has no chance of making any further progress. What was originally his has already been lost."

"Do you... want to follow in your father's footsteps?"

Seeing Zhao Yueqing's bloodshot eyes, Li Peng said hatefully.

"If sects are ruthless, then overthrow them!"

"What's lost, we'll take back!"

shuh~

next second!

Zhao Yueqing grabbed the small jade bottle in his hand, got up and walked out.

"Godfather, I'm waiting for good news."

Watching Zhao Yueqing's departing figure, Li Peng put his hands behind his back and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"What an idiot!"

Actually, he intended to use the Corrosive Vein Poison on Ye Linxiao, but he just hadn't had a suitable opportunity.

Skillful!

Now another one, Lü Tu, has emerged.

Even more coincidentally, he was just plotting how to kill Lü Tu.

Then Zhao Yueqing emerged as his scapegoat.

It couldn't be more perfect.

"Judging from Jinghe's death, the Cloud Sect probably won't tolerate me anymore. I need to speed things up."

"Kill Lü Tu first, then find a way to cripple Ye Linxiao."

"As long as we can take control of the Cloud Sect, we will definitely gain Lord Li's trust."

Just thinking about Lord Li's alluring and seductive figure made Li Peng's heart itch with desire.

But at the same time, I felt a sense of fear.

That woman was terrifying!

......

Lü Tu led Chu Nan and Ma Yan to Zhou Botong.

"Elder Zhou, I need to trouble you with one more thing."

Zhou Botong quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"How could I dare say it's troublesome? Please just tell me your instructions."

Although Lü Tu does not yet hold a formal position within the inner sect, his status is incredibly prestigious.

"I wish to keep them both by your side, and I hope Elder Zhou can help me take care of them."

Zhou Botong is a decent person. He is one of the most senior elders in the outer sect and has a very good reputation.

the most important reason.

The other party had not looked down on him because he was a handyman.

Now there is no fawning or condescension because he is the King of Spirits.

He's a reliable person!

Zhou Botong wouldn't hesitate to accept such a simple request from Lü Tu, and immediately chuckled.

"rest assured!"

"With me here, no one in the outer sect can bully them."

He and Jing Ye had never gotten along, and now that Lü Tu had directly eliminated Jing Ye, he was overjoyed.

Moreover, after Lü Tu's outburst today, the entire outer sect now knows that Chu Nan and Ma Yan are under Lü Tu's protection.

Who dares to mess with these two?

Lu Tu looked at Luan Yang and naturally extended his hand.

"Take 500,000 spirit stones"

Luan Yang said irritably.

"What do you want from me? I don't owe you anything."

Lu Tu gave an awkward smile.

"Well, I don't have it yet. I'll pay you back later, hurry up!"

Luan Yang rolled her eyes and reluctantly tossed over a spatial ring.

"Thanks, I'll deduct it from your dowry."

"?"

Lu Tu took the spatial ring and casually tossed it to Zhou Botong.

I don't like owing favors to others.

"I'll give you 100,000 as a thank you for your help. The remaining 400,000 will be their cultivation resources. You can keep an eye on it and let me know if it's not enough."

Zhou Botong looked at the spatial ring in his hand, and initially wanted to refuse.

But when he met Lü Tu's unwavering gaze, he ultimately didn't say anything.

"Okay! Then I won't refuse."

Lu Tu looked at Chu Nan and Ma Yan.

"Work hard, I'll come pick you up after I've finished dealing with the inner sect matters."

Ma Yan knelt down with a thud and began kowtowing repeatedly without saying a word.

"Brother Donkey, your kindness is beyond repayment; you are like my second parents."

"If you don't mind, I'll give it to you now."

As he spoke, Ma Yan made a move to unbuckle his belt, as if he had made up his mind.

"Nausea!"

Upon seeing this, Luan Yang cursed angrily and turned to fly towards the inner gate.

Lu Tu suppressed the urge to kick Ma Yan away and quickly chased after him.

"Brother Xiao Luan, etc."

At the same time, his gaze fell on Luan Yang's back, deeply attracted by her alluring curves that were faintly visible.

"A big butt is good for childbearing, this mature woman is really something!"

"Giving this stunning mature woman to Ye Linxiao is such a waste, hehehe..."

......

Prefect's Residence!

Seeing Ming Zhenyue's solemn expression, the clerk beside him chuckled while fanning himself with a folding fan.

"My lord, you're having a real headache about what to do with Lü Tu?"

"The Cloud Sect has produced a prodigy comparable to Ye Linxiao; the royal family will naturally find out, it can't be kept secret."

"Given the current situation in the Immortal Martial World, it all depends on which side you choose, my lord. Will you choose Crown Prince Wu Yuezhen, or Third Princess Wu Yuesha?"

"However, if this one step is wrong, the whole game will be lost..."

But no matter what choice you make.

Lü Tu will become a victim of this power struggle for the throne.
