"boom!!"

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

"boom!!"

"Ughhhhh!!"

In the blink of an eye, two pools of thick, scarlet liquid mixed with yellow stuff flowed out from between their legs, instantly filling the air with a foul stench.

Wei Tu looked at Qin Shuangshuang with a strange expression.

Qin Shuangshuang took a deep breath, as if only now could the fear and anger in her heart be slightly reduced.

She looked at Wei Tu and said, "They must have harmed many women. I did this because I don't want anyone else to suffer in the future."

Wei Tu looked at Qin Shuangshuang and asked, "Why not just kill them?"

Qin Shuangshuang, however, looked at the boy with keen insight, "Aren't they still useful to you?"

"Heh... It's true what they say, don't mess with women..."

Right now, the sun is about to set.

A lavish banquet with drinks was set out inside the Baoguang Hall.

Many elders, including Ran Xinxue, gathered together, and Yao Xiang was sitting in the honored guest seat.

Just as the sun was setting, and the interior of Baoguang Hall seemed peaceful, the entire mountain, which should have been tranquil, began to echo with the sound of light footsteps.

One after another, disciples with stern faces emerged from their rooms, each carrying a bag on their back.

80. Upholding justice even at the cost of family ties!

It seemed as if the sun didn't even set today.

As the light gradually dimmed from its bright state, it felt as if something was missing.

But nobody cares anymore.

The candlelight flickered in the Baoguang Hall, and the seemingly joyful conversation finally turned to the main topic with a long sigh from Yao Xiang.

"Such a large sect, Sect Master Ran must have had a tough time. Sect Master Ran, please speak your mind."

Yao Xiang sat opposite him and spoke calmly.

It seems as if this difficult start was casually thrown out.

The young woman sitting opposite the group of elders smiled calmly, and even such a gentle smile made her appear incomparably beautiful.

"Actually, what I'm about to say is already clear to Abbot Yao. This disaster of the sinkhole has troubled our sect for a long time, and we still can't see the whole picture. We live in constant fear, and the people's hearts are probably gradually falling apart. We still hope that there is a clear path to guide us..."

Having said all that, it seems inappropriate to keep you in suspense any longer.

Yao Xiang smiled and then said.

"The calamity of the ground collapsing... is truly an undeserved disaster. In my humble opinion, it is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that is causing this trouble. Have any of you heard the saying that dead lands are often accompanied by abundant spiritual energy, which is all formed from the corpses of ancient beasts from the primordial era..."

Yuan Wei nodded in response, "I've naturally heard of that...which is why our Yuanjian Sect is located in a blessed land."

Yao Xiang laughed and said, "This is only knowing one side of the story. Have you all ever thought about why these ancient beasts, even after they've died, still release spiritual energy? Is it merely to benefit future generations?"

Yuan Wei asked in surprise, "Then why is that? Everyone believes that this spiritual energy is simply because these ferocious beasts were too greedy in life and had nowhere to rest after death. This has affected thousands of years. The dead zone is not suitable for the survival of the living, but it is suitable for nurturing spiritual herbs. It is these undissipated corpses that nourish the spiritual herbs, and the spiritual herbs create rich spiritual energy, thus ensuring the continuous cycle of life..."

"Hehehe... Elder Yuan, is that right? That's right, it is indeed the most widely known version, but I think... there might be a more autonomous and selfish interpretation to this."

"Selfish……?"

These words made Ran Xinxue frown slightly.

Yao Xiang admired the woman's every smile and gesture.

“That’s right… My master once discovered a secret: the skeletons of two ancient primordial beasts, one Qiongqi and the other Taotie. The spiritual energy released by both after their deaths was constantly intertwined, with each skeleton absorbing the other’s spiritual energy, as if they were fighting each other in life. What does this mean?”

The group was amazed by Yao Xiang's words, but they couldn't understand them.

Yao Xiang said calmly, "If there's nothing in it for them, why bother fighting over spiritual energy that's useless to them? It must be useful, otherwise what use is spiritual energy if it's not for reviving them?"

"Does Abbot Yao mean... that the dead zone beneath the Yuanjian Sect is indeed... experiencing a resurgence of ferocious beasts?"

Ran Xinxue couldn't help but ask.

Yao Xiang chuckled and nodded, "That's probably the possibility, but there's no need to panic too much. Ancient beasts that have been dead for thousands of years, even if they revive, won't be as strong as before. They're just starting over. It's probably the unique terrain of the Yuanjian Sect that gave this dead zone an opportunity. This is a sign... However, if there's a suitable method, we can still gradually stop this momentum..."

Just as someone was about to eagerly ask what the appropriate method was.

A sound suddenly came from outside the door, and a servant pushed the door open and went forward to report to Ran Xinxue.

"Sect Master, Wei Tu requests an audience..."

Ran Xinxue immediately frowned.

He gave a look of disgust and said, "This person is getting more and more rude, daring to interrupt such an important banquet..."

He then immediately looked at Yao Xiang, as if seeking his opinion.

"Excuse me, Abbot Yao, my disciple seems to have some urgent business. I wonder if you mind?"

Lu Qingyan frowned. When did Wei Tu become your disciple?

Yao Xiang, on the other hand, smiled and nodded, seemingly without any negative emotions.

"This is the Yuanjian Sect, so naturally Sect Master Ran has the final say."

"Fine, let this rebellious disciple in. I'd like to see what kind of nonsense he's going to spout today..."

The servant went to report, and soon the door opened again.

Wei Tu strode in, attracting everyone's attention. It wasn't entirely because the young man was particularly handsome, but rather because he wasn't alone; he was accompanied by two people, who were bound together like crabs. Qin Shuangshuang followed behind them.

This combination is strange.

In an instant, Helian Yehu's eyes sharpened when he saw the two people in Wei Tu's hands.

Wei Tu left the two terrified and distressed people in front of everyone.

Before Helian Yehu and Yao Xiang could speak, Ran Xinxue seemed to understand something, and almost contrary to her usual calm and indifferent state, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up instantly.

"Wei Tu! What are you doing! You've actually tied up a disciple of Fulong Temple! Do you know that Fulong Temple is a distinguished guest of our Yuanjian Sect!"

Ran Xinxue looked extremely angry; her face was flushed with rage.

However, Wei Tu could clearly see the alluring smile in the other person's eyes that only she could understand.

Wei Tu didn't seem to react much, he simply cupped his hands to everyone present.

"There are some things I'm not comfortable saying, so let the person involved say them. Junior Sister Qin, please speak freely."

Qin Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, looking at the 'important people' present, seemingly unable to suppress her nervousness, but still managed to raise her head and said in a trembling voice.

"These two despicable and shameless scoundrels... on a whim, they actually tried to humiliate me... Fortunately, Senior Brother Wei arrived in time... otherwise I would have been defiled. I beg... I beg the Sect Master to uphold justice for me!"

"what!"

"How is this possible?!"

Immediately, some people were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Ran Xinxue, however, showed little emotion, squinting her eyes as if deep in thought.

To her surprise, Yao Xiang's expression was unexpectedly calm, and Helian Yehu didn't utter a sound either.

Instead, an elder from the Fulong Temple slammed his fist on the table, furious.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat! This is absolutely impossible! This is not something a disciple of the Fulong Temple would do! Do you think you're some kind of beauty that could topple kingdoms?"

Qin Shuangshuang swayed slightly. Although she knew she would be questioned, the fact that such a nightmarish experience was being refuted in this way still caused her unbearable pain.

At that moment, the boy beside him smiled and looked at the elder.

"Elder of Fulong Temple, I want to ask you..." Wei Tu hadn't finished speaking.

The elder interrupted impatiently, "Who do you think you are? This is a banquet hosted by the two sect leaders and abbots. The lowest-ranking attendees are elders. How dare you spout such nonsense here?! What right do you have to speak? What gives you the right to ask me questions? I am the one who has the right to ask you questions!"

These words enraged Lu Qingyan. If her sword hadn't been in her storage bag, her first instinct would have been to draw it and fight back.

But he quickly received a smiling look from the boy, signaling him to calm down.

Wei Tu slowly looked at this man who seemed to have no shame at all in order to cover up the mistakes of his own sect.

"Is that so? This is the territory of the Yuanjian Sect, at least for now. I can't speak, so who gave you the right to speak? Your sect leader hasn't even spoken yet, but you're already so impatient. It's just like the saying: 'The master hasn't spoken, but the dog keeps barking.'"

"You brat!! How dare you spout such nonsense!!"

The elder stood up in a fit of rage, looking as if he couldn't help but want to take action.

Instead of being afraid, Wei Tu looked at him with a smile.

"Actually, there's absolutely no need to talk like that. I'm asking in a very friendly way, but since when does it become necessary to determine a woman's chastity based on her appearance? Does it mean that if she's not good-looking, she's fake and has been insulted for nothing? Well, I'd like to ask you, senior, is your mother good-looking or not?"

"Pfft..."

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but laugh out loud, but it was more of a feeling of exhilaration than anything else.

It was as if the boy had expressed his own inner grievances and the conventional 'reasons' of this world in this way.

It's like a vindication, a voice.

Well... this boy isn't so bad, is he? He's a bit of a womanizer... but at least he's brave and responsible...

The elder was practically fuming.

"You arrogant bastard...you...die..."

He was about to make a move after saying that, and was even about to step over the table.

Elder Xue!

It was Yao Xiang who suddenly spoke up.

Elder Xue glared angrily at Yao Xiang, "Abbot! This brat has really dared to ride roughshod over our Fulong Temple! He's utterly arrogant! If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll suffer even greater losses in the future!!"

Wei Tu looked at Elder Xue with a smile.

"Oh? Isn't there a missing line: 'You've eaten more salt than I've eaten rice'? Sorry, I'm the kind of person who never suffers a loss, so I don't need you to lecture me. Besides... I don't think you can lecture me."
