Chapter 150: then translation of title

Li Hang!

Xiao Lingwei's face was grim, she gripped a bone-joint long whip, her voice filled with anger.

Li Hang took a whip strike, could not bear it, and knelt down miserably and painfully on the ground.

Xiao Lingwei stepped forward, her aura strong, she first glanced at Lu Xiangxiang, then sharply fixed her gaze on Li Hang: "Li Hang, who taught you to slander the junior sister like this?!"

Li Hang's face turned deathly pale, he trembled a few times: "I... I did not slander the junior sister!"

Lu Xiangxiang saw this, her pretty little face turned white from fright, she gritted her teeth: "Second Senior Sister, even if you want to protect Sixth Senior Sister, you cannot lay hands on Senior Brother Li Hang! Carefree Sect prohibits fighting among disciples!"

Xiao Lingwei gave Lu Xiangxiang a cold look: "I am not fighting, I am disciplining a junior brother with ill intentions."

"Second Senior Sister, saying that means you believe I ordered Senior Brother Li Hang to follow Sixth Senior Sister……" Lu Xiangxiang's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, crystal-clear tears streamed down her cheeks, her tone aggrieved, voice choking: "Why?!"

"Why do you all believe Sixth Senior Sister's one-sided account and not trust me? Is it that you all think it's my fault?" Lu Xiangxiang wept with tears like pear blossoms, she looked at everyone present in the Carefree Sect.

"You have never accepted me!"

Lu Xiangxiang said this, then raised her hand to cover her cheek, heartbroken and wanting to run away.

But the next moment——

But she was grabbed by Yuan Yao.

"Seventh Junior Sister, you really miscalculated." Yuan Yao vaguely guessed her tonight's act was to lay the groundwork for her to leave the sect.

Tonight's matter will surely spread.

By then, if she publicly announces her withdrawal from the Carefree Sect at the grand competition venue and seeks to sever ties with her master, everyone will wonder what exactly happened.

And when that time comes, she will then state the reason, for example: everyone in the Carefree Sect isolates, excludes, frames, humiliates, and bullies her because of her……

Once she succeeds, the reputation of the Carefree Sect and her master will thus be damaged.

And when she becomes stronger in the future, she will also have proper grounds to take revenge on everyone in the Carefree Sect!

Yuan Yao gripped her arm tightly and said: "Before we clarify the facts, you running away while crying makes it seem I have wronged you."

Saying this, Yuan Yao raised her other hand, a crystal-clear crystal stone appeared on her palm, she looked around at everyone: "Everyone, I am not speaking baselessly. This thing in my hand is a shadow stone, it recorded what Senior Brother Li Hang just said to me."

Upon seeing the shadow stone in Yuan Yao's hand, a fleeting dark light flashed in Lu Xiangxiang's eyes.

At the same time, Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord, the Carefree Sect leader, Second Elder Zong Rao, and the many instructors also came upon hearing the news.

Before they could even ask what had happened, they saw Li Hang, covered in wounds, his face drastically change, he lunged at Yuan Yao, trying to snatch the shadow stone from her hand.

Yet before he could reach Yuan Yao, Xiao Lingwei kicked him away.

"Shadow stone……" Lu Xiangxiang showed an appropriate look of confusion.

Yuan Yao saw her still putting on an act, and couldn't help but feel: even at this point, she remains calm and composed, indeed able to hold her breath.

Yuan Yao played the contents of the shadow stone.

After watching, the fellow disciples whose Awakening Value had originally dropped now saw theirs rise, and they looked at Li Hang and Lu Xiangxiang with eyes full of scrutiny.

Li Hang loudly defended: "This isn't true! Yuan Yao forced me to say this!"

Lu Xiangxiang seemed so angry her whole body trembled, she wore an expression of disbelief: "Senior Brother Li Hang, why are you framing me?"

Li Hang, hearing this, was stunned.

Even now, no matter how foolish he is, he knows Lu Xiangxiang wants to sacrifice the lesser to save the greater.

But when he thought his life was still in Lu Xiangxiang's grip, he gritted his teeth.

He adopted a reckless appearance, glaring viciously at Lu Xiangxiang and the others, saying: "Yes, yes, I deliberately framed you! I have long been disgusted by you and Yuan Yao, this little wretch! Not just you two, but also Song Yan, Ying Wuji, Xiao Lingwei, Cang Li, Xue Jin! I envy you, I hate you! Why am I so ordinary and common, while you enjoy the title and honor of heaven's chosen ones!"

"I just want to drive a wedge between your feelings! I want to see you fall apart because of it, hahaha……"

Saying this, he threw his head back and laughed loudly.

He seemed to have gone mad.

At this moment, Ying Wuji spoke slowly: "Just search his soul."

Upon these words, Li Hang's laughter stopped abruptly.

After a soul search, lightly it damages the spiritual consciousness foundation, heavily it turns one into an idiot.

"Li Hang." Zong Rao stared at this outstanding disciple of the Heaven Learning Peak before her, now become like this, her heart felt as if cut by a knife, more so anger at his lack of effort.

Li Hang's body stiffened, he lifted his head, meeting the Second Elder's gaze woven with disappointment, sorrow, and anger.

In that instant, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless ice cellar.

Zong Rao said in a low voice: "Li Hang, in my eyes you are not a jealous person; why then do you act this way? If you are willing to tell the truth, I may mitigate your punishment accordingly."

Li Hang dared not meet Zong Rao's gaze, he awkwardly shifted his eyes away.

"I am… just this kind of person." He said in an embarrassed tone.

Upon these words, everyone present looked at him with complex expressions.

"Second Elder!" The disciples of Heaven Learning Peak, seeing this, still couldn't help but plead for Li Hang, hoping the Second Elder would treat him leniently.

Li Hang heard the pleas around him, his lips trembled slightly, he actually couldn't help but shed tears, his fists slowly clenched.

He was about to raise his head, wanting to speak the truth.

【Target: Li Hang, Awakening Value reaches 50.】

But the next moment, his soul seemed to be instantly drawn out, annihilated, a large amount of blood welled from the corner of his mouth, he stiffly collapsed heavily to the ground, dead with eyes not closed.

"Li Hang!" Zong Rao cried out in shock, she hurried to Li Hang's side, helped him up, and checked his pulse and breath.

"He… is dead."

The young disciples present turned pale with shock.

"Li Hang committed suicide out of fear of guilt……" Almost everyone thought so.

But Yuan Yao knew, it was Lu Xiangxiang who secretly dealt the lethal blow!

She looked at Lu Xiangxiang.

And Lu Xiangxiang at this moment covered her mouth, revealing a shocked expression.

Yuan Yao clenched her fist, her gaze fell again on the still-unblinking Li Hang, and her eyes slightly glistened with moisture.

She closed her eyes briefly, hiding the emotions in her eyes.

Although Zong Rao had uncovered Li Hang's cause of death, she could not identify the mastermind from it, and now it was the crucial period for the sect's Grand Competition, so she decided to announce it only after the truth was found.

"Everyone, go back first," Zong Rao said, pursing her lips.

In the crowd, the one‑eyed youth witnessed the scene and also saw Lu Xiangxiang's still pitiful expression at that moment.

For some reason, he felt that she… was very hypocritical.

【Target: Shiziwen, Awakening Value reached 16.】

…

The sky gradually brightened.

On the way back to her room, Yuan Yao remained silent.

But the few accompanying her, Qian Jue Shan, Song Yan, and others, constantly watched her emotions.

Suddenly, she stopped, and said to Qian Jue Shan, "Master, I want to know the cause of Senior Brother Li's death."
