Chapter 690
Kill if you have the strength, play the victim if you don't.
This was the routine Ye Lin had always used.
His appearance immediately made the Joyous Union Sect female cultivators' delicate bodies tremble.
They felt as if the softest part of their hearts had been touched, just like when their own children were bullied outside.
"This little junior brother is still thinking about us at a time like this? He really is... I'm crying to death!"
"Little junior brother, don't be afraid! So what if he's an elder? The Joyous Union Sect doesn't just have him as an elder; even an elder cannot be unreasonable!"
"Exactly! If he dares to use his status as an elder to suppress you today, even if we have to report it to the Hall Master—no, to the Sect Master—we will get you justice!"
One by one, the female cultivators widened their eyes, glaring at Elder Nu as if he were truly some heinous villain.
"Sisters... you are helping me so much, I really don't know how to thank you..."
Ye Lin clutched the corner of his clothes, biting his lips tightly, looking like a stubborn big boy.
"You!"
"You all!"
Elder Nu felt as if his lungs were about to explode.
Is this how you flip black and white? Is this how you splash dirty water?
Seeing that his great-grandfather vaguely had the tendency to be so angry he would go see his great-grandmother on the spot, Kang Qizu could not care about the pain of his severed arm and hurriedly stepped out to say.
"You all, tell everyone immediately what exactly is going on!"
Kang Qizu looked at the group of cultivators who had come out of the Forget-Love Heaven Spirit Array.
Over seventy percent of this group of cultivators had died at Ye Lin's hands, and the remaining ones were almost all injured.
Those people looked at each other, all a bit afraid to speak.
Kang Qizu hurriedly said.
"With Elder Nu here, what are you afraid of? Tell the truth you know! Only then can Elder Nu seek justice for you!"
Once these words were spoken, a cultivator finally stood out and said.
"It's not that we wanted to kill him! It was that Ye Xiehong who provoked us first!"
"Right, tell us how he provoked you!" Kang Qizu guided him step by step.
"He first talked loudly next to us, attempting to make us break our cultivation; everyone knows that cultivation in the Forget-Love Heaven Spirit Array cannot be interrupted, and he also rolled a cauldron around next to us and cursed!"
That cultivator had also completely let go and directly said everything Ye Lin had just done.
"That would be fine, but when he saw these methods didn't work, he ran to the top of the pillar and poured it down on us!"
The cultivator kept talking until now, but those watching Joyous Union Sect female cultivators were not moved at all; instead, they looked at him with a sneer.
"Little junior brother rewarded you with holy water, and you're still not satisfied? Little junior brother, don't reward them next time, reward me!"
That cultivator was also pushed to the limit and hurriedly continued.
"Not only that! He also released mosquitoes to bite us, which is why we couldn't help but take action!"
The sneer on the female cultivators' faces became even more obvious.
"You want to kill someone just because of such a small thing? You want to take a life because of a few mosquitoes?"
"Those mosquitoes are different!"
The cultivator hurriedly continued.
"Those mosquitoes were clearly about to become demons; they could easily bite through a cultivator's skin to suck blood, and every bite left a big bump!"
As he spoke, he even rolled up his sleeves to show the several big bumps he had just been bitten with.
He had assumed that saying this would definitely gain understanding, but he did not expect that all he would get were three cold words.
"So what?"
"You want to attack a fellow disciple just because you were bitten by a few mosquitoes? You really have the nerve to say that!"
"Exactly, will being bitten by a few mosquitoes affect you in any way? Is it worth taking a life?"
"This matter doesn't make sense logically; I feel like these people might all have been bought off by Elder Nu!"
It really isn't the Joyous Union Sect female cultivators' fault for standing on Ye Lin's side.
After all, if you weren't the person involved, it would indeed be hard to have much anger over the things Ye Lin did when he provoked them earlier.
This is like seeing two men arguing on the street and spitting at each other; you might just find it funny, right?
But what if that spit landed on your face? Then your anger would probably skyrocket instantly, right?
Seeing that everyone was still speaking up for Ye Lin, Elder Nu, Kang Qizu, and those cultivators in the Forget-Love Heaven Spirit Array were instantly dumbfounded.
Is there still justice? Is there still heaven's law?
Ye Lin hurriedly came out to act as a peacemaker at this time.
"Sisters, please don't say anymore. My status is low and my words carry no weight; naturally, I cannot compare to a big figure like Elder Nu. If my life can make Elder Nu vent his anger, then just let Elder Nu kill me."
"I'll be damned!"
Seeing that Ye Lin still dared to act so tea-like at this time, Elder Nu's rage completely destroyed his reason.
He raised a finger and pointed it toward Ye Lin.
Ye Lin had no intention of dodging; in reality, he truly couldn't dodge.
However, he was not panicked at all.
If the commotion here could attract Elder Nu's attention, how could it possibly escape the notice of the other elders and the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall?
His talent had already attracted the attention of those people; since that was the case, it was impossible for him to die at Elder Nu's hands.
Sure enough, just as Elder Nu's finger was about to land on Ye Lin's body, an invisible wall seemed to appear in front of him.
No matter how hard Elder Nu tried, he could not advance even an inch.
"Elder Nu, as an elder, targeting a disciple is one thing, but to personally take action against a disciple is going a bit too far."
The voice of the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall entered Elder Nu's ears from afar.
Upon hearing this, Elder Nu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Targeting a disciple? Who did he target? From beginning to end, he hadn't targeted Ye Lin even once!
It could be said that Elder Nu's reputation had been completely ruined in Ye Lin's hands.
"Hall Master, this Ye Lin killed so many disciples; are we really not going to do anything about him?" Elder Nu said angrily.
Once these words were spoken, the disciples suddenly realized.
No wonder Elder Nu suddenly froze in place; it turned out the Hall Master had taken action!
The Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall's brows also furrowed at this moment.
She had sent a private voice transmission just to save Elder Nu some face, but she hadn't expected Elder Nu to tear through this layer of window paper himself.
"That naturally won't do. Although Ye Lin was acting in self-defense, the fact that he killed so many disciples is true; the death penalty can be waived, but living punishment is unavoidable."
"Elder Pei, I leave this Ye Xiehong to you to deal with."
The voice of the Hall Master of the No-Thought Hall rang out from all directions.
"Yes, Hall Master."
A blood-colored figure appeared silently. The moment this figure appeared, all the Joyous Union Sect disciples shivered, terror appearing in their eyes, and they even couldn't help but take several steps back.
Because this blood-colored figure was the eighth elder of the Joyous Union Sect, the Punishment Elder in charge of the Punishment Hall.
The Blood-Hand Human Butcher, Pei Jiuye!
Before becoming the Punishment Elder of the Joyous Union Sect, this guy was an out-and-out super demon who took pleasure in killing and had even blood-sacrificed an entire mortal city.
Even the disciples within the Joyous Union Sect were terrified of this Punishment Elder.
Even those female cultivators who had just spoken up for Ye Lin didn't dare to speak for him anymore.
Moreover, Pei Jiuye's appearance was even more uncomplimentary; half of his face was ulcerated, and one could even see white maggots wriggling in his flesh.
Some said this was because he practiced demonic arts, causing half his body to ulcerate, while others said it was divine retribution for killing too many people.
The specific situation was no longer known, but what everyone knew was that once you fell into Pei Jiuye's hands, you would suffer a fate worse than death!
