Chapter 495: She Really Is Going for the Kill (Second Update)

On the stage, Ren Yidao cackled strangely as he used a red-hot iron rod to poke the old man's backside.

Off the stage, the crowd fell into a dead silence.

"... Uh, is this right?"

Many people did not know much about Ren Yidao before; at most, they had only heard of some of his deeds. Seeing this scene upon their first introduction was fine, and their worldview did not collapse too much.

They were simply filled with immense admiration that this Beiming Divine Continent had actually produced a prodigy capable of forcibly counter-killing a Void Transformation cultivator with only a Foundation Establishment cultivation.

This was not like the earlier battle against Ying Tengjiao, which relied on opportunism, but rather truly relying on raw strength to beat a Void Transformation expert, famous for many years, into such a miserable state.

But when those familiar with Ren Yidao saw this, their expressions became more colorful than the last.

"Your Majesty, was it because you knew Daoist Ren had such strength that you became sworn brothers with him?" Ran Guifei blinked her eyes and asked Li Long in a low voice.

"I... um, I have long known of his strength."

Li Long coughed, wearing an expression of having known all along, and nodded nonchalantly, "But I did not become sworn brothers with him for reasons like strength. I have never looked at strength when making friends; besides, none of them are as strong as I am."

This, perhaps also...

*Cough*, if I were to take up the Qian Sword and Qian Mirror, Brother Ren would definitely not be my match!

Jian Xinxin narrowed his eyes, his gaze quietly tracking Ren Yidao's figure, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mei, who was beside him, was the most composed; she could be considered the one among these people who knew Ren Yidao's strength the best.

And the most lively ones were the several Elders from the Divine Path Sect who had come to observe the ceremony.

Holy shit.

What a fierce young man!

Whose subordinate is this... holy shit.

It's actually one of our own!

The several old men felt as if their hearts were about to explode, but they maintained a calm appearance on the surface, though they still couldn't help but ask Duan Hong in low voices.

"Peak Master Duan, Peak Master Duan! Is Ren Yidao, in his daily life, usually like this?"

Elders in the Divine Path Sect who were not familiar with Ren Yidao began to ask Duan Hong.

Regarding these questions, Duan Hong's head felt like it was twice its size.

What do I know? How would I know?

I am close with Jing Yueqin, but my relationship with Ren Yidao is just average; where would I know these things from?

I am also shocked, okay?

Who could have imagined that he was actually this wild in private!

Who knew that little wench Jing Yueqin had been secretly eating so well... *cough*.

But as one of the few Peak Masters on good terms with Luoyue Peak, she naturally knew how to answer at this moment.

"... Um."

Regardless of whether Duan Hong knew the situation beforehand, at this moment, as the leader of the Divine Path Sect's delegation, she could only vouch for Ren Yidao's actions.

That's right.

Junior Brother Ren is usually this sort of person who can lift mountains and whose spirit covers the world... um, really.

With Duan Hong's confirmation, the others nodded in realization and sighed one after another.

"Peak Master Duan is stingy; you clearly knew long ago, yet you didn't give us a heads-up, making us worry for a moment, hahaha."

Duan Hong smiled on the surface, but in her heart, she couldn't help but curse.

How the hell would I know that much!

After sighing for a while, an old man with a completely white beard shook his head and sighed: "Heroes emerge from the youth! We really can't compare to the young people."

"This is a sign that Luoyue Peak is about to revive."

"Eh, what are you saying? How is this 'about to'? With a talent like Ren Yidao, isn't this already a revival? If Senior Uncle Jing's spirit in Heaven could see this scene, she would likely be comforted..." This Elder sighed, and in a moment of carelessness, actually blurted out his inner thoughts.

!!!

"Hush! Elder Liang, you must not speak nonsense!"

Another Elder hurriedly covered Elder Liang's mouth, warning him with a very serious expression, "Although Senior Uncle Jing has been missing for many years, her Soul Lamp has not gone out; she is currently just of unknown life or death, so you must absolutely not jump to conclusions!"

"If these words of yours reach the ears of the Luoyue Peak disciples, who knows what kind of chaos it will cause! Watch out for the flowers and plants on your peak!"

The Elder surnamed Liang also realized his slip of the tongue and looked around in a panic, but he didn't feel there was any problem; Jing Yaoyue had been missing for many years, and it should have been assumed she had already fallen.

But seeing others silently distancing themselves from him as if he were a plague god, he felt a bit guilty and asked in a low voice: "What flowers and plants? What does this have to do with flowers and plants? Besides, would that Jing Yueqin dare to take action against us?"

Although Jing Yueqin had now inherited her master's position as Peak Master, the Elders were not pushovers; would they really be afraid of her?

"What does it have to do with it?" Another Elder curled his lips and sighed longly: "Have you forgotten about that incident forty years ago? A disciple on Tuling Peak got drunk and his loose talk reached Luoyue Peak; the next day, all the Spirit Plants on Tuling Peak were rolled up by that fellow Jing Yueqin to Luoyue Peak and burned clean, all used as fertilizer and scattered..."

"She even said at the time that if there were a next time, it wouldn't just be the ash of flowers and plants that she would scatter."

"As for whether she dares to take action against you, heh, Elder Liang, you have been in seclusion all these years, right?"

"That is indeed the case. Could she really dare to make a move!?" Elder Liang had been in seclusion for many years and only came out two months ago; this was the first time he had heard any of this.

But even so, he still didn't believe Jing Yueqin would dare to make a move against him...

That can't be right!

In his impression, Jing Yueqin was still that shy little girl who would be saddened by her master's disappearance; how did she seem to have turned into a chaotic demon king now?

Duan Hong and the other few Elders looked at each other, then turned to signal him to look at Ren Yidao on the stage.

"Look, you see how Ren Yidao is dealing with Yu Hongjian right now? That was all learned from his Senior Sister! That ruthlessness in attacking an old man without mercy is definitely inherited from the same lineage!"

Luoyue Peak True Transmission: Special Attack against Old Fogies.

"And although you are a bit older, Elder Liang, don't forget that you and Jing Yueqin are actually of the same generation; she will have even fewer scruples about taking action against you."

"... So that's how it is. I didn't expect that after so many years, there would be such a big change. Many thanks to you all for the reminder."

Elder Liang went over the various deeds he had heard from his fellow disciples in his mind and let out a long sigh.

Elder Zhang also sighed and couldn't help but say, "It's a good thing that Jing Yueqin fellow isn't here, otherwise... sigh!"

It is a good thing!

That world-confounding Demon is not here.

Just as Ren Yidao was beating the old man, a red-haired figure wearing a mask walked out from the Secret Realm.

And the moment she walked out, the armless Sword Casting Pavilion Elder who had been lying on the ground unconscious suddenly opened his eyes and cursed angrily, "What are you coming out for!!? Who told you to come out!?"

He was none other than Gongye Chi, the Sword Casting Pavilion Elder who had been miserably defeated here after fighting the thief head-on, and who had pointed out the direction for Gongyang Dai.

"Didn't I tell you to hide in the Secret Realm for a few days and wait for my message? Now that you've come out, the previous plan is completely exposed! How are you going to let the two lords..."

Slap.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, three blood flowers bloomed on the body of this Sword Casting Pavilion traitor.

His remaining limbs were crushed in an instant, and he completely became a human stick.

"Ah!!! Ugh—" Just as Gongye Chi screamed, a blood-stained black cloth was stuffed into his mouth, and his entire cultivation was directly sealed.

Why!?

Why would she betray?

"Hehe... I thought it would take some effort to find the mole, but it turns out you just came to my door yourself."

!!!

She can speak?

Hearing this low laugh full of playfulness, Gongye Chi suddenly realized a problem: he seemed to have thought wrong!

It was also at this moment that Gongye Chi noticed the black robe the woman was dragging behind her, which seemed somewhat familiar.

She...

She really is that Demon!!!

Jing Yueqin appreciatively admired the fear in his eyes, grabbed his hair, and whistled.

"Alright, caught red-handed, come with me~"

With one step, Jing Yueqin took the two human sticks and leaped directly from the depths of the Sword Casting Pavilion to above the arena competition grounds.

Boom!

The moment she appeared, the aura of Gongye Dachang, who had remained calm all along, changed, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Which fellow Daoist is this?"

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed color.

The entire sky above the Sword Casting Pavilion seemed to collapse out of thin air, becoming a giant furnace.

This was the might of Asking Dao; although it did not reach the might of Heaven and Earth, it was already quite similar.

"Yo! It's me!"

Jing Yueqin was not frightened by this grand scene; she greeted him with a grin, then threw the human sticks she was holding in both hands over like she was giving a gift.

"Here! I've caught the people for you!"

"One mole, one thief impersonating me, they're all handed over to you, you handle it yourself, ha."

The two human sticks flew through the air, and their miserable appearance with crushed limbs fell into everyone's eyes.

Elder Liang in the crowd had his expression change drastically!

He didn't recognize Gongye Chi, but that aged appearance and his current miserable state gave him a huge fright, and his heart even skipped a beat.

Holy crap!

They weren't bluffing me!?

She really is going for the kill on the old man!!!

After throwing the evidence, Jing Yueqin, fearing Gongye Dachang didn't understand, added: "I don't know who she killed, but she did it, not me! The other one is the mole who was meeting her."

"Sigh..."

Upon seeing Jing Yueqin and these two human sticks, how could Gongye Dachang not react?

There was a traitor in the sect, and he had almost been played for a fool.

But just before he could speak, two thunderous complaints rang out between Heaven and Earth.

"Tsk! What a bunch of trash, forcing this old man to take action."

"Stop complaining, who told your subordinates to be so disappointing? Just take action."

The next moment, the Furnace Heaven and Earth originally occupied by Gongye Dachang was actually squeezed and shrunk by more than half, and terrifying visions of water and fire occupied the sky.

Before the two human sticks could land in Gongye Dachang's hands, they were ignited by flames and turned into two streaks of flying ash in mid-air, their bodies and spirits destroyed.

Gongye Dachang did not try to stop them, frowning as he spoke:

"What kind of petty thieves are hiding their heads and showing their tails there? Since you've come, why not reveal your names?"

Two masked figures walked out from the water and fire visions; they cupped their hands toward Gongye Dachang and spoke in loud voices:

"Butian Alliance, Ghost Star."

"Butian Alliance, Heart Star."
