Princess Chi Hong sobbed and said, "Today is Junior Brother Su's death anniversary. Ruoxu went to Junior Brother Su's cave abode to pay respects to him but was seen by Zhang Hua and the others. Without giving him a chance to explain, they joined forces to capture him and send him to the enforcement platform."
Mo Qing frowned slightly.
Junior Brother Yang had been searching for the truth all these years, but he knew his situation well. He was not rash and had been more cautious in his actions in the sect.
Although there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him at all times, no one was able to catch him doing anything wrong.
Even if they wanted to harm him, they could not find a suitable reason.
However, they did not know why Junior Brother Yang suddenly went to pay respects to Junior Brother Su and was caught by Zhang Hua and the others.
Ever since Junior Brother Su died and the Moonlight Sword Immortal was severely injured in the Nine Heavens Immortal Domain, Zhang Hua was the most famous and the strongest among the core disciples of the academy.
"Where are the elders?"
Mo Qing asked.
Chi Hong said, "The elders are all here, but they have been silent."
Yang Ruoxu insisted on searching for the truth because he suspected the Patriarch of the academy. The elders did not dare to speak up for Yang Ruoxu.
Looking at the sobbing Chi Hong, Mo Qing's heart that had been silent for many years suddenly felt unfair. She clenched her fists and said, "Let's go. I'll accompany you!"
…
Qiankun Academy.
A Sky-level sect like Qiankun Academy would definitely have a powerful Sect Protecting Immortal Array outside. Without notification, outsiders would not be able to enter!
At this moment, in the dense forest outside the academy, there were two figures moving forward sneakily, approaching the academy's mountain gate.
To be precise, it was a slightly young man in gray robes with a pale face and no beard. He was carrying a white-haired old man with a weak aura.
The man in gray robes carried the old man and took a step to the left and right in the forest. Occasionally, he would take two steps back before taking a stroll.
"Old Man Xuan."
The man in gray robes asked casually, "What if we take the wrong step in this Sect Protecting Immortal Array? Will we be exposed? "
The old man said indifferently, "We will be gone in a moment."
The man in gray robes was so frightened that he almost took the wrong step!
"Don't scare me."
The gray-robed man swallowed his saliva.
The old man said, "This immortal formation was personally laid down by the previous Patriarch. Even a Grotto Heaven Realm King would be heavily injured if they tried to break through. You just stepped into the True Self Realm and triggered the immortal formation, turning you into ashes instantly."
The gray-robed man followed the old man's instructions and headed stealthily toward Qiankun Academy while complaining, "You were beaten to such a state by the Patriarch of the academy and are almost crippled. Why did you come back?"
"That Patriarch of the Academy is so powerful and meticulous. If he finds out, both of us will die."
"Don't worry, he's not in the Academy now."
The old man said, "In the academy, there is a secret realm that even he doesn't know about. If we sneak in there, we can find the elixirs left behind by the previous Patriarch. My strength will have a chance to recover to seventy percent."
"What's the use of recovering to 70%?"
The gray-robed man curled his lips and said, "Even at your peak state, you were beaten to such a state. With seventy percent of your strength, he could kill you with one finger."
"What do you know?!"
The old man could not hold it in any longer after being mocked by the gray-robed man. He huffed and scolded, "Our lineage is the last hope of Qiankun Academy!"
"There are many secret manuals, inheritances, and treasures of Qiankun Academy in that secret realm. Those are all key to rebuilding the academy in the future."
Amidst the bickering, two figures sneaked into Qiankun Academy without anyone noticing.
…
Mo Qing's heart sank when she arrived at the law enforcement platform with Princess Chi Hong.
The scene before her was even more serious than she had imagined!
All these years, the Grand Elder of the academy had passed away after exhausting his lifespan and leaving the position of Grand Elder empty.
But now, of the remaining eight elders, apart from the eighth elder of the academy, the other seven were all present!
Not only that, there were many legacy disciples, inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples gathered around as well.
As far as the eye could see, the crowd was densely packed around the Law Enforcement Platform.
Almost all the cultivators of Qiankun Academy were mobilized!
The moment Mo Qing arrived, she felt a suffocating pressure.
On the law enforcement platform.
Yang Ruoxu was tied to a copper pillar that pierced the skies with a gigantic chain coiled around his body – he could not move at all.
The chain was engraved with runes that suppressed his Dao Fruit, bloodline and even the Quintessential Essence within his body!
At that moment, Yang Ruoxu's hair was disheveled and his clothes were tattered. Bloody wounds were inflicted on his body by the law enforcement whip in a horrifying manner!
Because his strength was suppressed, he could not even heal those wounds on his body.
Piak!
Zhang Hua wielded a law enforcement whip that was dripping with blood and whipped Yang Ruoxu viciously. With a cold gaze, he hollered, "Yang Ruoxu, do you know your crimes?!"
Yang Ruoxu merely raised his head and looked at Zhang Hua in disdain. Suddenly, he spat a mouthful of blood at Zhang Hua!
"Fufu."
Zhang Hua was not angry and merely chuckled. "Yang Ruoxu, I'll play with you slowly. Let's see how long a traitor like you can last!"
Zhang Hua raised the law enforcement whip in his hands once more.
"Hold on!"
A voice sounded as Mo Qing descended on the law enforcement platform with Princess Chi Hong.
Princess Chi Hong ran to Yang Ruoxu's side while sobbing. She wanted to extend her arms and hug him.
However, when she saw the wounds on Yang Ruoxu's body, she did not dare to touch him for fear of causing him even more pain.
When Yang Ruoxu heard Princess Chi Hong's voice, he raised his head and smiled at her as though he could not feel the pain on his body.
Just like that, the two of them were inches apart and looked at each other.
Princess Chi Hong's eyes were red as tears gushed out.
"So it's Senior Sister Mo Qing."
When Zhang Hua saw Mo Qing, he raised his brows slightly and cupped his fists. "I know that Senior Sister Mo Qing is aloof from worldly affairs and is quiet and elegant. I did not intend to alarm you for such a bloody matter."
"I did not expect that some b * tches did not know the rules and ran to invite Senior Sister over."
As Zhang Hua spoke, he glared at Princess Chi Hong.
Mo Qing took a deep breath and cupped her fists in the direction of the elders. She then turned to Zhang Hua and asked in a deep voice, "What did Junior Brother Yang do wrong for you to treat him this way?"
"He merely went to a ruined cave abode to pay his respects. Even if he did wrong, he should not be punished to this extent. Why do you have to label him as a traitor?"
Mo Qing knew clearly that once this crime was confirmed, Yang Ruoxu would definitely be doomed!
Zhang Hua had a calm expression. "He paid his respects to the traitor of the academy, Su Zimo. This is equivalent to suspecting the Patriarch. Isn't that considered as a traitor?"
"I did not kill him directly because he was from the same sect. Instead, I gave him a chance."
