As he spoke, Lin Yi released Ye Qingcheng's primordial spirit. This guy suddenly stopped moving just now because his primordial spirit was taken away by Lin Yi's Soul-Hooking Hand. Now that his primordial spirit was back, Ye Qingcheng was horrified. The experience just now was too horrifying. He didn't want to experience the feeling of his life and death being in the hands of the other party again.
"Deal with this traitor yourselves. I won't interfere," Lin Yi said lightly.
"This …" Ye Qingcheng hesitated. Qiu Mingchong was his direct disciple, and he wouldn't abandon him unless he had no other choice. But now that Qiu Mingchong had publicly admitted his identity as a spy, especially with Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing, these two unfathomable guys, watching him covetously, he didn't dare to play any tricks at this time. He could only bite the bullet and say, "Guards! Take Qiu Mingchong, this traitor, into custody. We'll discuss how to deal with him later! "
Lin Yi didn't have any objections. He dragged Qiu Mingchong out purely to help Duanmu Yu out of trouble. As for whether Qiu Mingchong was dead or alive, he didn't care at all.
Moreover, from the standpoint of Ye Ling Sect, it was hateful to discover such a traitor, but they couldn't execute him directly. There were still many things that needed to be clarified. For example, why did Xue Jianfeng bribe Qiu Mingchong?
Watching the dejected Qiu Mingchong being taken away, Lin Yi glanced at Ye Qingcheng and the others and said, "Now, does anyone still believe Qiu Mingchong's slander of Miss Duanmu?"
"No, no, you must be joking. How can we believe the words of a traitor?" Ye Qingcheng hurriedly smiled apologetically and humbly. The others might be mainly afraid of Bing Wuqing, the Nascent Soul Realm Old Monster, but in his eyes, Lin Yi was the most terrifying existence. This guy was definitely much more terrifying than the average Nascent Soul Realm Old Monster!
"Is that so? Then what about the Divine Knowledge Grass? "Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said casually.
"…" Ye Qingcheng and the others broke out in a cold sweat. When they recalled how they had tried to force Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing to ask for the Divine Knowledge Grass previously, they felt as though ten thousand horses were galloping through their hearts. Now that they thought about it, they realized that they were practically seeking death in all sorts of ways!
"A Heavenly Treasure like the Spirit Knowledge Grass naturally belongs to those who are able to obtain it. Only people of your strength are qualified to do so. We were rude before, so I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of Ye Ling Sect!" Ye Qingcheng hurriedly said respectfully.
Lin Yi glanced at Duan Muyu when he heard that. He had come here purely to visit a friend, and it was entirely up to Duan Muyu to decide whether or not to make a fuss and take revenge. As for himself, it didn't matter. At his level, he wouldn't take such a small matter to heart, much less Bing Wuqing.
Duan Muyu returned a pleading look. She had suffered a lot during this period of time, but after all, she had deep feelings for Ye Ling Sect. Since the culprit, Qiu Mingchong, had been taken care of, the matter would end here. Otherwise, Ye Ling Sect would be the one to suffer losses.
"Alright, on account of Miss Duanmu, I'll temporarily accept your insincere apology. However, I'll say the ugly words first. I don't have a good temper. If there's a next time, I won't be so nice anymore." Lin Yi took the opportunity to give everyone a heads-up. In this way, if Ye Qingcheng and the others wanted to settle accounts with Duan Muyu later, they would have to think twice.
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you for your magnanimity, Senior. We are very grateful." Ye Qingcheng didn't dare to refute. Even though he was a sect leader, and even though there was only a thin line between Golden Core Perfected and Nascent Soul Old Monsters, this thin line meant that he had no right to speak in front of Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing. They could kill him with just a thought, so what could he do?
Ye Qingcheng's only thought at this moment was to send Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing away as soon as possible. This time, for the sake of the Consciousness Grass, he had been blinded by Qiu Mingchong's instigation and had set his sights on the two of them. Now, it was easy to invite them in, but difficult to send them away. He was in a difficult position.
The key was that he couldn't directly ask them to leave. His eyes turned, and he had an idea in this emergency. "Both of you are experts, and we are too weak to serve you well. Why don't I report to our sect's Grand Supreme Elder and ask him to entertain the two of you?"
It was the rule of Jianghu to have a Nascent Soul Old Monster entertain a Nascent Soul Old Monster. It was reasonable for him to suggest this. At least, he could avoid being bullied unilaterally. Otherwise, it would be really stressful for him and the group of Gold Core Stage higher-ups to talk.
"Whatever." Lin Yi waved his hand noncommittally. He had no interest in the Ye Ling Sect's Grand Supreme Elder, but since he was here, there was no harm in meeting him. It could also be considered as helping Duanmu Yu gain some face.
"Okay, okay. Please wait for a moment, Seniors. I'll report to the Grand Supreme Elder right away." Ye Qingcheng immediately rushed out.
Logically speaking, even if they were to ask for the Grand Supreme Elder's permission, there was no need for him, the sect leader, to go personally. However, he couldn't have asked for more. After all, Qiu Mingchong was his personal disciple. Although Qiu Mingchong had instigated the matter of the Consciousness Grass, it was mainly his own idea. At this time, he didn't dare to stay in front of Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing for even a moment. The pressure was too great.
After a while, an old man in green walked quickly into the God Leaf Hall accompanied by Ye Qingcheng. His aura was hidden, but it gave people a feeling of unfathomable depth. All the higher-ups of the Ye Ling Sect, including Ye Tongxuan and Duanmu Yu, hurriedly greeted him in unison. Without a doubt, this was the Ye Ling Sect's Grand Supreme Elder, Ye Yixing.
Not only was he the Grand Supreme Elder, but he was also Ye Qingcheng's and Ye Tongxuan's master. In other words, he was Duanmu Yu's master.
"My two friends have come to visit. Please forgive me for not going out to greet you." Ye Yixing cupped his hands in greeting and smiled. All these years, he had been in a state of semi-isolation. If something like this had not happened, he would normally not have come out.
Bing Wuqing looked at him with some scrutiny. He was a little stronger than her, at the middle Nascent Soul stage. However, it was obvious that this guy had internal injuries. Ordinary people couldn't see it, but it couldn't escape the observation of an expert at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.
