In the air above Chiyang School's forbidden area, Lava Valley, Zhuo Lingfeng was angrily looking at Yan Jungang and Qu Yifeng. These three brats had arrived and ruined his plans, causing Zhuo Lingfeng to be furious. Seeing that the Ghost Face Flower's vines were still sealed, Zhuo Lingfeng was overjoyed. He controlled the spirit wood with both hands and made the Ghost Face Flower's vines wrap even tighter around it.
Before Zhuo Lingfeng's smile could last for three breaths, the Ghost Face Flower's vines seemed to have their vitality sucked away by something and began to rapidly wither.
A red lotus branch rapidly extended from the wound, and at the end of the branch, a golden lotus bud gradually grew in size and bloomed. When the lotus head completely opened, the entire Ghost Face Flower withered and curled up into a ball, revealing a stone room that was less than five feet in size.
Suddenly, an overwhelming spiritual pressure came from the stone room and a fiery red light flashed. An old daoist in his sixties flew 100 feet in front of Zhuo Lingfeng. Yan Jungang looked at the old man wearing Chiyang School's robes and knelt down. "Disciple Yan Jungang greets Ancestor Chi Yang."
Zhuo Lingfeng's expression changed when he saw this. He wanted to turn around and run, but Master Chi Yang pointed at him and a ring of fire wrapped around him. After that, Daoist Scarlet Sun pointed a finger at Zhuo Lingfeng's forehead and sealed his magic power. Then, he turned to the two people on the ground and said, "The main culprit has been executed. The three of you inform Yang Yanzi that the Scarlet Sun Sect needs to be disciplined immediately. Investigate the sect's spies and do not let a single one go. Zhuo Lingfeng and the others must be punished as a warning to others."
After he finished speaking, Qu Yifeng was stunned and looked at Master Chi Yang in a daze. "Ancestor, is Senior Martial Brother Yi not dead?"
"He's doing very well. He managed to refine the Crimson Flame Armor in the Foundation Establishment Realm. Why would he be afraid of this mere lava pool?" Before Daoist Scarlet Sun could finish speaking, the three of them heard a weak shout from the side of the lava pool.
Yan Jungang was overjoyed and quickly looked toward the source of the voice. He saw Yi Tian's head sticking out from the edge of the lava pool and struggling to climb up. His body was covered in a three inch thick flame armor and blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth. His movements were a bit slow. It was likely the result of being hit by the Unparalleled Flame Dragon.
Qu Yifeng also cried tears of joy and quickly rushed forward to take a look. It really was Yi Tian, but his complexion was a bit pale.
Daoist Scarlet Sun pointed with his finger, and an invisible force directly lifted Yi Tian out of the lava pool. After deactivating the spell, Yi Tian was also gasping for breath and coughing out blood from time to time. He looked at Master Chi Yang in the air and said, "Ancestor, I want three fire-gold lotus petals, two lotus seeds, and the main stem of the fire-gold lotus." After saying that, he sat down and circulated his power to heal his injuries.
Master Chi Yang in the air was also angered by this grand-disciple and laughed. He casually said, "Okay, just based on your contribution, these are not a problem. You all have a good rest. Don't hurt your foundation!"
After Daoist Scarlet Sun agreed, this matter was settled. In any case, Yi Tian wouldn't suffer a loss. With Ancestor Scarlet Sun's name, those ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators in the sect would have to take a detour if they saw him.
As the four of them were talking, they suddenly saw Ye Qingchen and Gao Qingshan rushing to the entrance of the valley. As soon as they entered, they saw Master Chi Yang in the air. The two of them hurriedly knelt down and said, "Disciple knew that Ancestor was trapped and specially came to help. Seeing that Ancestor is fine, Chiyang School is really fortunate."
Master Chi Yang lifted Zhuo Lingfeng with one hand and said, "The culprit has been captured by me. Quickly follow me to the Chiyang Main Hall. I want to clean up the sect and uphold justice."
The three of them were about to set off, but Master Chi Yang turned his head and instructed Ye Qingchen, "These three people have contributed to the rescue. Arrange for them to rest first and take good care of them. Don't make any mistakes."
Hearing this, Ye Qingchen's eyes lit up. These three people were chosen by the Ancestor this time. Their future was limitless. He hurriedly went forward to greet the three of them. After checking the situation, Ye Qingchen also took out a few elixirs for the three of them to consume. Then, he sat down at the side to protect them.
Six hours later, in the main hall of Chiyang School, Ancestor Chi Yang, sat alone on the main seat. Yang Yanzi, Gao Qingshan, Ning Qingyuan, and the other Jin Dan cultivators sat on both sides.
As for the Foundation Establishment direct disciples of the various halls, they all stood behind their respective masters. The Foundation Establishment inner disciples who firmly supported Yang Yanzi's position during the internal strife were also fortunate enough to enter the hall and witness the glory of Ancestor Yuanying.
As a hardcore fan of Yi Tian, Huang Ziang had the opportunity to participate. Although he was not a direct disciple and could stand behind the Head of the Alchemy Hall like Wu Xing, he still had one foot in the main hall and was qualified to listen to the Ancestor's teachings.
Huang Ziang stood at the back of the hall with a serious expression, but his heart was bursting with joy. He heard that Yi Tian had contributed greatly to the rescue of the Ancestor. Previously, Yang Yanzi had taken out the heads of Pan Qiang, Jin Sheng, and Pei Ming, as well as evidence that they had colluded with the White Bone Gate to become spies.
Although it was Qu Yifeng and Yi Tian who did it, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was Yi Tian who did the work. As for Qu Yifeng, with his cultivation, he couldn't even fight one on one. He was just helping out on the side.
In addition, Yi Tian had exposed Li Yanzi's trick of giving fake instructions. The Head of the Artifact Hall had mentioned it many times in front of everyone. It was estimated that after Yi Tian advanced to Jin Dan, the Head of the Artifact Hall would be replaced.
Now, Huang Ziang felt that he had a thick thigh. In the future, no one would dare to shout at him in the Artifact Hall. When he returned, he might even be ranked below Ning Yuxuan and become the real power of the Artifact Hall. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but turn to look at Yi Tian who was standing behind Ning Qingyuan.
With a glance, he saw that Yi Tian had once again entered a state of mind, and was even dozing off. He completely did not listen to the Sect Leader's instructions in the main hall. Huang Ziang was extremely impressed with Yi Tian. To be able to fall asleep in this kind of situation, he was truly amazing.
Master Scarlet Sun sat on the main seat for a long time before he seemed to make up his mind. Then, he said calmly, "Bring them in."
Outside the hall, Ye Qingchen, Yan Jungang, and Qu Yifeng escorted the masterminds of the internal strife, Zhuo Lingfeng, Li Yanzi, and Xu Haoxian into the hall. The three of them had their Fa Li sealed by Master Scarlet Sun, so they were no different from ordinary people. Therefore, the guards didn't have to waste too much effort.
Walking into the main hall, Li Yanzi and Xu Haoxian knelt down with teary faces and cried out, "Martial Ancestor, please spare our lives. This disciple was possessed and fell into Zhuo Ling Feng's trap."
Master Scarlet Sun frowned. Beside him, Yang Yanzi knew his master's preference and directly sealed their mouths. This left Zhuo Lingfeng standing there. His legs were straight and his knees weren't bent at all. His eyes were filled with unwillingness as he looked at Master Scarlet Sun.
Seeing this, Master Scarlet Sun could only helplessly shake his head. He felt both guilty and hateful towards this junior martial brother of his. However, in front of so many disciples, Master Scarlet Sun couldn't arbitrarily make a decision. Otherwise, the entire Chiyang School's prestige would be ruined. At that time, he wouldn't have a foothold.
After a long time, under everyone's gaze, Master Scarlet Sun slowly said, "Zhuo Lingfeng, Li Yanzi, Xu Haoxian, Jin Sheng, Pan Qiang, and Pei Ming attempted to subvert Chiyang School. They imprisoned the ancestor and secretly communicated with the White Bone Gate. Their crimes are extremely heinous. According to the sect's rules, how should they be dealt with?"
Yang Yanzi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, according to the rules, those who betrayed the sect should have their cultivation crippled, their intelligence scattered, and be suppressed under the Raging Flame Soul Suppressing Stone in the sect's forbidden area for a hundred days. Their souls will be scattered and they won't be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation for three lifetimes."
After everyone heard this, fear appeared on their faces. Everyone was familiar with the sect's rules when they entered the sect. However, they had only seen this one before. Who would really investigate the details? When they heard the Sect Master's words, everyone realized that this wasn't a joke. In the thousands of years of Chiyang School's history, this was the first time they were given such a heavy punishment.
After seeing Master Scarlet Sun nod, Li Yanzi and Xu Haoxian's faces turned ashen. They wanted to say something, but they found that their mouths wouldn't listen to them. They couldn't even make a sound.
Zhuo Lingfeng raised his head and sneered, "The winner takes all. I have nothing to say. You guys have won this time. Don't be happy too early. All the other sects are eyeing the Chiyang School covetously. If it continues to develop like this, it will be divided among them sooner or later. How much longer do you, Master Scarlet Sun, have? How long can you take care of these disciples?"
"Impudent! You're about to die, yet you still don't know how to repent. Master, this disciple requests to personally escort Zhuo Lingfeng to his punishment." Yang Yanzi spat angrily and then turned to Master Scarlet Sun with a serious expression.
Master Scarlet Sun didn't get angry. He just took out a jade token and looked at it. Then, he sent a voice transmission to Zhuo Lingfeng. Zhuo Lingfeng was silent at first, but ten breaths later, he became agitated and shouted, "So you're a schemer. Everything is within your expectations. I didn't lose unjustly." After saying that, he became like a deflated balloon. His eyes didn't show any signs of life. He was completely shrouded in an aura of death.
Although the people present couldn't hear the conversation between the two, they knew that the jade token in Master Scarlet Sun's hand was the key to this matter. Master Scarlet Sun slowly raised his right hand. A red flame flickered. Then, he flicked his finger and the flame landed on Zhuo Lingfeng's body.
Zhuo Ling Feng's body was ignited in an instant. The scorching Crimson Sun Fire quickly burned his body. In less than ten breaths of time, Zhuo Ling Feng was devoured by the fire, leaving only a layer of black ash.
After the Scarlet Sun Fire was extinguished, the Great Hall regained its tranquility. Master Scarlet Sun put away the jade token and said, "From now on, if anyone betrays the Scarlet Sun Sect, they will be severely punished. Yang Yanzi, I'll leave the following matters to you. This time, the turmoil in the Scarlet Sun Sect needs to be quelled quickly. The various forces are spying on the disciples.
Yang Yanzi hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "I'll listen to your orders. This disciple will be fair and strict. This disciple will quell the sect's turmoil as soon as possible. Internally, I'll amend the government decree and externally form alliances. I'll make sure that Chiyang School stands tall in Eastern Ao for a long time. I won't let you down." After saying that, he knelt before Master Scarlet Sun.
Everyone in the hall followed suit and bowed three times to Master Scarlet Sun. After that, Daoist Crimson Sun stood up from the main seat, turned around, and walked into the inner hall of the grand hall.
