Chapter 275: Extract Her Spiritual Root!

Ling Qingwu kept shaking her head, unable to accept this fact.

Her father, wherever he went before, was always imposing and commanding? It was always others who had to kneel and apologize to him; when will it be her father's turn to apologize to others?

"Ye Qingran, I won't let you go!"

Ling Qingwu glared at Ye Qingran with a vicious look, shouting wildly.

Ye Qingran didn't look at her.

Because, in her mind, Ling Qingwu was just a hopping clown.

Besides, she would soon have no chance to shout at all.

Ye Huanhuan's complexion was as pale as paper.

Just now she had been so proud of being a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Immortal, and now she felt so embarrassed.

Her master, to her surprise, knelt and apologized to the person she despised most?

To her, that was an outrageous humiliation!

The other few Xuan Yuan Sword Sect disciples also wore looks of resentment. The Qingyun Sword Immortal's kneeling was like a massive slap across their faces, a burning sting.

"Ye Qingran, are you satisfied now?"

Ye Qingran forced a nod. "It's okay. The Qingyun Sword Immortal knows his mistake and can amend; there is no greater kindness. Since you are so sincere, I will forgive your earlier ignorance."

The hand at the Qingyun Sword Immortal's side clicked "clack" as it pinched.

Taking advantage and then playing nice!

Ye Qingran is truly damned!

Ling Qingyun, suppressing a surge of anger and murderous intent, stood up and shouted to Ling Qingwu, "Let's go!"

Ling Qingwu, enduring pain all over her body, nodded, stepped toward the Qingyun Sword Immortal, but a voice stopped her.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Seeing Ye Qingran, Ling Qingwu immediately bared her claws, "Ye Qingran, what exactly do you want?"

Ye Qingran's eyes flashed with cold light, "I only forgave your father, not you. You kidnapped my child and dealt him a lethal blow; the feud between us cannot end so simply."

Ling Qingwu roared, "The wounds on my body weren't caused by you?"

Ye Qingran glanced at Ling Qingwu's injuries and said dismissively, "This is the punishment for you defaming me for stealing your sect's sword manual. If you kidnapped my son and dealt him a lethal blow, and I simply let you off, people would mistakenly think my son, Ye Qingran's son, is easy to bully; then everyone would come to kidnap him. What then?"

"None of my business! I said he's just a wild offspring; if he dies, he dies!"

Ye Qingran waved her hand, and Ling Qingwu fell to the ground again, her head splattered with blood.

The Qingyun Sword Immortal ground his teeth, "Ye Qingran, what exactly do you want?"

"If you don't kill her, that's fine; with so many eyes watching today, I will expel Ye Huanhuan from the sect, and I won't kill your daughter!"

Ye Qingran's voice, like Kun Shan jade shattering, fell into everyone's ears.

All the people looked at her in shock.

They seemed unable to believe Ye Qingran would make such a request.

Ye Huanhuan was stunned, and after regaining her senses, she was about to go insane with anger.

"Ye Qingran, are you crazy? Did I provoke you?"

Her sharp voice roared, her face full of ferocity, no longer the usual graceful composure.

The crowd, seeing her like that, sighed deeply.

It seemed that since Ye Qingran returned, Ye Huanhuan, who once stood on the clouds, has been falling bit by bit, now almost sinking into dust.

Zhao Shi, also fuming to the point of her lungs exploding, shouted at Ye Qingran without restraint, "Ye Qingran, you scoundrel! My Huanhuan hasn't offended you, has she? How can you be so ruthless? Even if she is your sister, how can you be so vicious?"

Ye Yu was also unable to contain his anger.

Ye Huanhuan had always been his pride. He could never bear to see her expelled from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, otherwise he would be ridiculed by the world!

"Ye Qingran, that's enough! How could I give birth to such a treacherous daughter? I warn you to retract what you just said, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Ye Qingran treated Zhao Shi's and Ye Yu's words as hot air, looked at Ye Huanhuan, and shouted, "Ye Huanhuan, I have always adhered to the principle 'If others don't offend me, I won't offend them.' You know well what you did back then; this is all you deserve."

Ye Huanhuan's face turned as pale as paper.

The crowd looked on in confusion, inevitably recalling that the Sword Demon had just said Ye Huanhuan's Spiritual Root was taken from someone else. Coincidentally, Ye Qingran has no Spiritual Root.

Could it be...

A terrifying speculation surfaced in everyone's mind.

Many things were about to emerge.

Sensing the crowd's complicated gazes, Ye Huanhuan forced a feeble defense, "I don't know what you're saying! I haven't done anything to offend you!"

At this moment, Ling Shaoyang twisted his brow and said, "You still dare to argue?! Five years ago, why did my master disappear? Wasn't it because of you? You deceived her into Jiu Fu Lin, extracted her Sacred Spiritual Root, transplanted it into your own body, and claimed it as yours!"

One stone stirred a thousand waves!

This was undoubtedly explosive news!

Five years ago, Ye Qingran disappeared; the Ye Family claimed she was kidnapped, but it turned out Ye Huanhuan deceived her into Jiu Fu Lin and took her Sacred Spiritual Root?!

The Sacred Spiritual Root inside Ye Huanhuan wasn't hers at all, but Ye Qingran's?

"Indeed, I know this too. Ye Huanhuan, you truly have a venomous heart; after seizing Sister Qingran's Sacred Spiritual Root and claiming it as yours, you also threw Sister Qingran into the Soul-Cleaving Abyss. If not for Sister Qingran's luck, she would have died without evidence!"

After Ling Shaoyang, Xia Zhimeng further detailed the events of those years.

"My god! Truly you can know a person's face but not their heart! I never expected Ye Huanhuan to be like this!"

"Digging out a Spiritual Root is one thing, but throwing a person off a cliff—that's murder!"

"So all these years we have wronged Ye Qingran! I even once held Ye Huanhuan as a role model; now thinking of it makes me want to vomit!"

Ye Huanhuan was on the brink of madness.

"I didn't, you all are talking nonsense!"

Sword Demon snorted coldly, "Nonsense? Is it nonsense? Just dig out the spiritual root and you'll know at a glance!"

The spiritual root reacts to its owner's blood; as long as you dig out the spiritual root and drop a drop of Ye Qingran's blood on it, you can tell whether the Holy Spiritual Root really belongs to Ye Qingran.

Ye Huanhuan's pupils shrank to a point, she was shocked to the point of despair.

She instinctively stepped back one step.

"No, I can't..." If the spiritual root is dug out, everything will be over.

At this moment, Mu Qingrou stepped forward, coldly staring at Ye Qingran, and sharply said, "If the spiritual root is dug out, whether it belongs to Ye Qingran or not, should we replant it? For Huanhuan, this is a huge harm; it very likely could stall her cultivation, which is really unfair."

Ye Huanhuan looked gratefully at Mu Qingrou.

At this moment, some of those who supported Ye Huanhuan also stood up one after another.

"You cannot listen to Ye Qingran's one-sided words!"

"Does whatever she says go? I also said that Ye Qingran disappeared back then because she ran off with a wild man; why don't you believe it?"

"Digging up the spiritual root is too cruel, isn't it? Even if the Holy Spiritual Root belongs to Ye Qingran, since it's already inside Ye Huanhuan's body, just forget about it!"

"Exactly, Ye Qingran is being too petty, isn't she?"

……

Zhao Shi took the opportunity to say, "Exactly! Huanhuan is innocent; even if we concede, even if the spiritual root is yours, Ye Qingran, you'd only lose the spiritual root, but if it's forcibly pulled out, Huanhuan would lose her life!"

Zhao Shi said while hypocritically wiping her tears, moving many people deeply.

Ye Qingran's face was as cold as frost, "Xing Er, Yue Er, dig for me!" It's time to settle what happened five years ago.

Han Xing Leng Yue walked toward Ye Huanhuan expressionlessly, like the black-and-white impermanence.
