"You don't need to worry about that anymore," Ning Yue reassured her.

"The Fusang Sect already knows, and Sang Daohe is dead. This kind of thing will not happen again."

"You...? You killed Sang Daohe? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable?"

Yuan Chen looked Ning Yue and Yang Fei over suspiciously.

Ning Yue took out his disciple's jade token and showed it to Yuan Chen.

"We are direct disciples of the Fusang Sect. We happened to learn the truth and have come to clean house."

"No wonder..." Yuan Chen looked at Ning Yue in a daze.

She was actually... a direct disciple of the Fusang Sect!

Ning Yue smiled and pulled Yuan Chen up, then called out to Yang Fei, "Senior brother, let Lan Yan come over."

Ning Yue, with Yuan Chen in tow, looked towards the Sang residence from the back of the Blue Flame.

The Sang family mansion was originally a magnificent and resplendent building with carved beams and painted rafters.

—Only a gray, bare frame remains.

Ning Yue had expected Yuan Chen to be melancholic and lament the downfall of the Sang family.

Unexpectedly, the old man was so excited that he almost jumped off Blue Flame.

"You guys are amazing! You did a fantastic job, hahaha! It's so satisfying to see the Sang residence like this one day, hahaha!"

Ning Yue: "..."

Yang Fei: "..."

Ning Yue put Yuan Chen down.

"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."

"Okay, go ahead." Yuan Chen nodded. "Thank you for saving me!"

"—When you sell pills later, I'll grab a good spot for you!"

Ning Yue was both amused and exasperated: "Thank you."

-

The burning of the Sang family mansion was a major event.

Regardless of how much of a commotion would occur among the people nearby, this matter must have already reached the Fusang Sect.

They've probably already sent people here to check.

"We should act without delay," Yang Fei said. "We should return to the sect as soon as possible and explain this matter clearly."

"Mm," Ning Yue replied.

The two didn't even have time to check out of their rooms before riding Blue Flame back to their sect.

When they were halfway there, they ran into the main force of the Fusang Sect.

Shi Yinghan spotted them first, and, holding onto the outer edge of the aircraft, waved to the two of them.

"Junior Sister, Yang Fei? Why are you back?"

Ning Yue quickly boarded the flying vehicle and asked Shi Yinghan, "Senior Brother, where are the Sect Master and Elders?"

Yang Fei also hurriedly came up from behind.

"Quickly recall the disciples who were investigating at the Sang residence; we were the ones who did this."

Shi Yinghan obviously knew about the Sang residence, but she looked at Ning Yue and Yang Fei with a puzzled expression.

"Were you the ones who burned down the Sang residence?"

"Let's go inside first and talk about it." Ning Yue pulled Shi Yinghan and Yang Fei into the inner room.

The sect leader and elders were indeed here.

Upon seeing Ning Yue and Yang Fei, he was momentarily surprised: "...Why are you back?"

In front of everyone, Ning Yue took out the sound recording stone and the image recording stone and released them directly.

I watched it from beginning to end.

Ji Feng's face was ashen; he couldn't help but let out a few strands of his oppressive aura.

"That damn Sang Daohe! I knew he wasn't a good person, if it weren't for him..."

Elder Yu Guang, the law enforcement officer, suddenly saw Ji Feng.

He paused for a moment, not finishing his sentence.

The only one to blame is Sang Daohe for his shamelessness in taking advantage of kindness.

"He actually dares to lay his hands on the direct disciples of the Fusang Sect!" The formation elder clenched his fists tightly.

"Where is his body?" Ji Feng asked in a deep voice.

"It's still in the same place; I didn't bring it with me," Ning Yue said.

"This kind of thing can't be hidden, after all, he is still a member of the Fusang Sect on the surface."

"By doing such a thing, the reputation of the Fusang Sect will definitely be damaged." Shi Yinghan frowned.

"That Sang Daohe calls himself an elder, but isn't he just a bloodsucking bastard?!"

"So they made all the profits, but we're the ones who have to clean up their mess?!" Yang Fei complained.

"We have to give those 182 people an explanation. They lost their spiritual roots and their lives because of such a ridiculous reason."

Ji Feng's expression darkened, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes.

The alchemy elder frowned: "Moreover, the idea that consuming a spiritual root can cause the growth of a new spiritual root is utter nonsense!"

The elder in charge of law enforcement said, "For such an incident to occur during the sect competition, it seems that the four major sects will not let this opportunity pass."

The Fusang Sect has always firmly held the top position among the five sects.

Although they appear to be on the surface harmonious and friendly, who among them secretly hopes that the Fusang Sect will soon decline?

They had already attacked the Purgatory Sect's gate, a disgraceful act, yet Qi Bei still shamelessly came to see the Heavenly-grade pill in the end.

Isn't it just because they're afraid of the Fusang Sect?

Now we've got our chance—

Sang Daohe's matter is just the right trigger, and it can dampen the arrogance of the Fusang Sect.

Ning Yue lowered his head and put away the sound recording stone and the image recording stone.

The law enforcement elder suddenly frowned and looked at Ning Yue.

"My dear disciple, the spiritual energy around you is unusually strong today. What happened?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall looked towards Ning Yue.

Previously, Guang was so focused on Sang Daohe's matter that he didn't notice the changes in Ning Yue.

"Could this be..." Ji Feng murmured, looking at Ning Yue.

"That's right." Ning Yue casually released his concealment, revealing his cultivation level.

"Nascent Soul stage!?"

The aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly filled the inner hall—

The second Nascent Soul stage cultivator among the younger generation of the Fusang Sect!

Ning Yue was only twelve years old!

"Alright, alright!" Ji Feng smiled, his anger subsiding considerably.

"As expected of Ning Yue, he even broke through a cultivation level after just two days of fun, hahaha..."

Ning Yue humbly replied, "My senior brother and I have been cultivating diligently. I only happened to gain enlightenment during my battle with Sang Daohe."

Yang Fei, who had been diligently cultivating but hadn't broken through to the next level: "..."

"Haha, good! You'd better shine in the sect competition this time! The sect will handle Sang Daohe's matter."

"Since Sang Daohe dared to kill even the direct disciples of the sect, it shows that he didn't have much affection for the sect."

The sect leader need not care about the other sect leaders; he should just make proper compensation to the 182 people.

"Then tear Sang Daohe's body to pieces so that he can never be reincarnated!" Ning Yue said.

No one around Ning Yue had any objections to his suggestion.

The elder in charge of law enforcement said with emotion, "Little Yue has really grown up; he even knows how to think of the sect now!"

Ji Feng looked pleased and said, "Focus on the competition, we'll take care of everything here."

As Ji Feng had predicted, things unfolded exactly as he had envisioned on the day of the sect competition.

Before he even sat down, Qi Bei glanced at him sideways—

"With such a terrible thing happening within your sect, Sect Leader Ji, you still have the mind to participate in the sect competition?"

Ji Feng didn't give him a friendly look; of the four, he disliked Qi Bei the most.

"Qi Zong is being too overbearing. Fusang Zong has already taken care of this matter, so there's no need for you to worry about it."

"How should this be handled? This is a major event for the entire cultivation world. One hundred and eighty-two spiritual roots, each one of them of superior quality, represent the future strength of the cultivation world!"

"Sang Daohe's actions have ruined the next generation of the cultivation world. How will Sect Master Ji handle this?"

Qi Bei stared aggressively at Ji Feng.

Ji Feng lowered his gaze, a cold glint in his eyes—
