Does Your Wind and Cloud Sect Have an Expert in Secluded Cultivation?
Seeing the situation was dire, one of the black-clad warriors immediately shattered his magic seal and requested backup.
But the next moment, Meng Yuyi made her move.
An extremely cold chill solidified.
It loomed over the heads of the group of black-clad warriors.
In an instant, the training ground was covered in frost.
All the black-clad warriors were frozen solid.
They turned into ice sculptures.
Chen Ning glanced back, his eyelids twitching.
"Open up a large Qing army?"
Meng Yuyi remained calm, standing guard beside Chen Ning.
However, the crisis at the training ground has been temporarily averted.
Several elders from the Wind and Cloud Sect approached Chen Ning, tears streaming down their faces, and kowtowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for saving us! We are deeply grateful!"
What happened?
Chen Ning asked a question.
He still doesn't understand the situation.
"It's that bastard Murong Yue!"
An elder of the Wind and Cloud Sect, his eyes bloodshot with rage, exclaimed, "It was he who shut down the sect's protective formation, allowing the people from the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion to break in!"
"Traitor! Disloyal and treacherous! I will tear him to pieces!"
The elders were united in their hatred of the enemy.
If the protective formation hadn't been shut down, even a strong attack from the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion wouldn't have been so easy to break through.
Chen Ning pressed further, "Where is your Grand Elder now?"
"The Grand Elder is trapped in the main hall, where many sect disciples are still. We intended to cover the retreat of these ordinary disciples, but we were ambushed by these people."
"Heavenly Extremity Pavilion?"
Chen Ning read it aloud, feeling that the name sounded very familiar.
Suddenly, he thought of someone.
Dongfang Shao.
"So it was him!"
Last time in the capital, he was jumping around like a clown; I didn't expect him to cause even more trouble outside.
"Let's go! Let's go and meet him."
Chen Ning originally intended to go with only Meng Yuyi.
Unexpectedly, the elders were filled with rage, clasped their fists and said, "We old codgers will go with you! Even if we die, we'll tear Murong Yue apart alive!"
Chen Ning nodded silently.
He and several elders headed towards the main hall of the Wind and Cloud Sect.
As for the ordinary disciples, they were led out of the Wind and Cloud Sect by an elder.
Wind and Cloud Sect Main Hall.
Before the hall, the black-robed elder He Changming knelt in a pool of blood, his hands and feet bound by chains.
Beside him were several high-ranking members of the sect who had long since died.
The old man in black robes, his eyes bloodshot, glared at Murong Yue and cursed, "Murong Yue! You harmed your fellow disciples, you deserve to die a horrible death!"
You'll die a horrible death!
"I want to drink your blood! I want to eat your flesh!"
Even if I become a vengeful ghost, I will not let you go!
Murong Yue stood calmly, expressionless, and said, "Elder He, I have no choice. I have my reasons."
"Your so-called 'difficulties'? Your so-called 'difficulties' are colluding with outsiders and betraying the sect, is that it? I must have been blind to agree to let you take the position of sect leader!"
Murong Yue's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "I've already discussed Pavilion Master Dongfang's conditions with the elders, but you're all stubborn and inflexible. You'd rather perish together than spare a few people. I have no choice but to... I have no choice but to live on alone..."
Murong Yue revealed a sinister smile, "Pavilion Master Dongfang promised me that after joining Heavenly Extremity Pavilion, I would become the leader, and I would establish a brand new Wind and Cloud Branch. At that time, I would be the most powerful, and I would no longer be subject to the constraints of you old fogies."
"Bah! You despicable Murong! You'll die a horrible death!"
The old man in black robes spat.
Murong Yue calmly wiped away the blood, and then, with sharp fingernails, pierced the face of the old man in black robes.
"Ah!!"
The old man in black robes cried out in pain.
Murong Yue continued to look at him calmly, enjoying this moment of pleasure.
"Alright, have you had enough fun?"
A chilling voice came from behind.
Murong Yue immediately turned around and smiled, "Sect Master, you flatter me. It's just that I'm usually quite frustrated by being restricted by these old fellows."
The person behind him was Dongfang Shao, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion.
At this moment, unlike his cautious demeanor in the palace, he adopted the air of a great man, speaking authoritatively, "To demonstrate your loyalty, you shall personally execute the disciples within the hall."
Murong Yue nodded respectfully and replied, "Of course, but... allow me to offer another piece of advice: it's not too late to eliminate those who are truly useless to us."
"As soon as possible, within a day, we must cleanse the entire Wind and Cloud Sect. Tomorrow, I want to see a completely new Wind and Cloud Branch that belongs to my Heavenly Extremity Pavilion."
"I will obey the Lord's command."
Murong Yue's eyes flickered, then he cautiously asked, "Sect Master, regarding that woman..."
"Um?"
Dongfang Shao raised an eyebrow.
"Sect Master, have you forgotten? The condition I mentioned in my secret letter yesterday: if you help me obtain that beauty, I will disable the sect's protective formation..."
"So, this woman is the reason you made your final decision?"
"Exactly!"
"Hahaha... How ridiculous!"
Dongfang Shao looked at the black-robed elder bound by chains and laughed, "Your sect leader is truly a man of strong emotions. For a woman, he completely betrayed the Wind and Cloud Sect. It took me quite a bit of effort to persuade him before... If I had known this would happen, wouldn't it have been much simpler..."
It did take Dongfang Shao some time to persuade Murong Yue.
This Sect Master Murong was extremely greedy. He kept saying that betraying the Wind and Cloud Sect was something that would be condemned by everyone, and used this as an excuse to ask the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion for more benefits.
Dongfang Shao agreed.
He was promised that he would become the leader of the Wind and Cloud Branch.
Unexpectedly, Murong Yue sent another secret message last night, saying that he wanted to add another condition.
Heavenly Extremity Pavilion will help her obtain an unparalleled beauty.
Only then did he agree to close the sect's protective formation and personally capture the Grand Elder.
Dedicated to the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion.
Dongfang Shao crouched down and whispered in the black-robed elder's ear, "You've seen it yourself, your sect leader isn't a good person, but he's obedient, he's willing to cooperate..."
"Elder He, I know you are the most respected person in the Wind and Cloud Sect, and I value you highly. So, if you are willing to cooperate, I will kill Murong Yue right now and then make you the leader of the Wind and Cloud Branch. What do you say?"
"Bah! How could I, an old man, do something so disgraceful to my ancestors!"
The old man in black robes cursed fiercely.
Dongfang Shao stood up helplessly and said, "Then there's nothing we can do. What a pity..."
Dongfang Shao narrowed his eyes and took out a sharp blade.
The Wind and Cloud Sect is now under control. All the elite disciples are imprisoned in the main hall, and people have been arranged to hunt down and kill the ordinary disciples who escaped.
Therefore, the old man in black robes was no longer important.
You can kill him.
Suddenly, his gaze changed, and he abruptly looked towards the distance.
Just now, he received a distress signal from his subordinates who were sent to hunt down ordinary disciples of the Wind and Cloud Sect.
"We've run into trouble?"
Dongfang Shao's expression was cold as he looked at Murong Yue and asked, "Does your Wind and Cloud Sect have any experts in seclusion?"
"No."
Murong Yue asked in confusion, "But what happened?"
"It's alright, you two go and take a look."
"Yes, Master!"
The two men accepted the order and left.
Only the old man in black robes had his pupils shrink slightly, as if he had thought of something...
