Only by demonstrating strength could he inherit it smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if he wanted to stand against Qi Hao after Cang Song’s eventual betrayal, building his own loyal followers was an urgent priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the Discipline Hall, the atmosphere was abnormally tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song sat solemnly in the main seat, Qi Hao stood at the lower side, and there were no other disciples present in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Cang Song did not want the matter of brothers turning against each other to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu kept his eyes straight, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to Cang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze brushed past Qi Hao—cold as frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of their identities as transmigrators, their relationship had long since shattered; now, it was a fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song did not rebuke Lin Jingyu for his rudeness toward Qi Hao. What he cared more about was the hidden motive behind the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the tall, sharp-edged figure of Lin Jingyu below, Cang Song was momentarily dazed, as if he saw the shadow of his old friend Wan Jianyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Wan Jianyi had also been radiantly talented, assisting him many times and profoundly influencing his cultivation path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Jingyu, though only having joined Longshou Peak for a few years, had already reached the Seventh Level of Jade Purity Realm—such talent was truly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet suspicion still lingered in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song said gravely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Jingyu, rise, there is no need for formalities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his disciple respectfully comply, his gaze sharpened and cut to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yesterday you and Qi Hao fought fiercely at the back mountain—what exactly happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu did not immediately answer Cang Song’s question but instead raised his eyes to look at Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter’s gaze was chillingly cold, with undisguised killing intent—as if he viewed him as a mortal enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Jingyu pretended to be startled and took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, Cang Song noticed this scene and turned to look at Qi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qi Hao’s eyes gleamed a cold light, causing Cang Song’s heart to sink. He barked out sternly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Hao! What do you intend? The matter is not yet clear—how can you look at your junior brother like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao then came to his senses, realizing his lapse, and quickly bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, forgive me. I just find it hard to accept that Lin Jingyu may be a spy from the Demonic Sect, and I lost control for a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song nodded slowly, his tone serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before the truth is revealed, you must not randomly accuse your fellow disciples.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao had no choice but to restrain his emotions and respectfully replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Cang Song turned his gaze to Lin Jingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingyu, tell me—what happened yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu immediately spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, yesterday I was cultivating in my chamber. Since I hadn’t made progress in my realm for some time, I felt frustrated and went to the back mountain to clear my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as I arrived, I saw Senior Brother Qi Hao, pale-faced, hastily flying over from the direction of Xiaozhu Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feared something had happened to him, so I went up to ask. Who would’ve thought he’d suddenly attack me and try to kill me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To protect myself, I had no choice but to fight back with all my might. But Senior Brother’s strength far exceeds mine—if not for your timely rescue, I might never have been seen again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he lowered his head in a gesture of gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I beg Master to see clearly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song’s brows furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This version greatly differed from Qi Hao’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao had claimed that he was cultivating at the back mountain, when Lin Jingyu falsely asked him about Dao techniques and, taking advantage of his unguarded moment, launched a surprise attack that seriously injured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You're not telling the same story as your senior brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song’s expression was stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He said you feigned a request for instruction, then launched a surprise attack while he was unguarded—he acted purely in self-defense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu’s face turned cold, but his tone was earnest as he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, please see clearly! I’m well aware that my strength doesn’t match Senior Brother’s—how could I possibly dare to launch a sneak attack?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what I observed, Senior Brother returned from Xiaozhu Peak yesterday with an unusual expression. I suspect he violated your strict order and secretly entered Xiaozhu Peak, clashing with the disciples there and even got injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fearing I would notice something and report it to you, he tried to silence me permanently!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song nodded slightly after hearing Lin Jingyu’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he also found Lin Jingyu’s account plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it wasn’t the first time Qi Hao had sneaked into Xiaozhu Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were precedents before—he had only behaved over the past half-year because he was confined in the Black Wind Cave at the back of Longshou Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was free again, the possibility of sneaking into Xiaozhu Peak once more was very real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Cang Song seemed somewhat convinced, Qi Hao grew anxious and hurriedly argued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, don’t listen to Lin Jingyu’s nonsense! He’s extremely suspicious himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached the Seventh Level of Jade Purity Realm at such a young age—it’s an absurd cultivation speed. And his entire village, Caomiao Village, was slaughtered. I suspect he’s a spy planted by the Demonic Sect to infiltrate Qingyun Sect and steal secrets!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words stirred doubt in Cang Song’s heart. He turned his gaze to Lin Jingyu and asked gravely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Jingyu, why have you advanced 《Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao》 to the seventh layer in just a few years? And why did you hide your realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Cang Song no longer fully trusted either Qi Hao or Lin Jingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The act of concealing one’s realm was indeed difficult to fathom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it a lack of trust in him, or was there some deeper motive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jingyu’s heart tightened, but he quickly composed himself and bowed, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, it was wrong of me to hide my cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since joining Longshou Peak, I have devoted myself wholly to training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve seen for yourself that I have decent talent, which is why my progress has been a bit fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for concealing my strength, I merely wanted to make a stunning appearance during the Seven Peaks Tournament. I had no other intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was born in Caomiao Village—my background is clean. How could I possibly be a spy for the Demonic Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s more, the slaughter of Caomiao Village is the greatest pain of my life. My parents died in that tragedy. I hate the culprits to the core—how could I ever collude with the Demonic Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice choked with emotion, and he began to sob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song, hearing this explanation, felt some of his suspicions ease. He turned to Qi Hao and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your junior brother’s words make a fair amount of sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao immediately realized that Cang Song was beginning to side with Lin Jingyu, and he hurriedly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, this is only his side of the story—it cannot be trusted blindly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Song’s face darkened. He asked harshly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qi Hao, let me ask you again—did you go to Xiaozhu Peak yesterday?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hao’s face instantly turned deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone to Xiaozhu Peak, and once Cang Song sent someone to investigate, there’d be no hiding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I admit my mistake—I did go to Xiaozhu Peak yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1385,"2026-06-09T04:29:26.607Z",1,"novelbin.me","c5c37e06bc015bb4a283a6fe113ddab23da3e9f0a17f2709bd765af88610ab1e","with-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--chapter-164","with-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--chapter-163",200,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwith-heaven-defying-talent-i-actually-became-lu--cover.jpg"]
