Is the Senior Sister guilty?
Even with his consistently excellent mental fortitude, Chen Changming was startled by Huang Tianqi's loud shout.
The same applies to all other inner disciple the Lingxiao Sect.
"Am I guilty?"
Luo Lan was first startled, then looked at Huang Tianqi with surprise, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "My lord, what crime have I committed?"
"Daughter, you tell me."
Huang Tianqi smiled faintly, releasing a powerful aura that firmly locked onto Luo Lan.
He killed her the moment she made a move.
" Luo Lan, as an elder of the Logistics Hall, you have embezzled countless pills and Spirit Stone from the Lingxiao Sect during your tenure. Today, my father has descended upon the Lingxiao Sect to apprehend you!"
Huang Zhenzhen's eyes shone brightly as she spoke loudly, her entire being exuding an aura of righteous indignation.
She had long disliked Luo Lan, regarding her as a thorn in her side, but she was also afraid that rashly attacking Luo Lan would provoke a backlash, in which case she might get hurt.
To deal with Luo Lan, she enlisted the help of her father, Huang Tianqi.
Her father was at the tenth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, which was more than enough for him to easily defeat Luo Lan.
"I don't!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Lan trembled with anger, her face flushed red, and she vehemently protested, "I have not taken a single penny from the Logistics Hall! I beg Lord Huang to investigate thoroughly!"
Staring at Luo Lan, Huang Tianqi sneered, "Hmph, you bought a Foundation Establishment, didn't you?"
"Yes, I bought this with my own savings; it has nothing to do with the sect."
Luo Lan said.
"How dare you try to argue? Are you looking for death?!"
Huang Tianqi was furious. His powerful aura locked onto Luo Lan, rendering her unable to move. He raised his hand to strike her down.
Upon witnessing this scene, Chen Changming felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext.
Huang Zhenzhen and Qin Changtian colluded, disliking their Senior Sister, and fabricated such a crime.
He regrets it now.
I shouldn't have accepted the Foundation Establishment from my Senior Sister.
If she hadn't accepted it, her Senior Sister wouldn't be in mortal danger today.
"Lord Huang, please spare Elder Luo's life."
An older inner disciple suddenly knelt down and pleaded for Luo Lan's life.
This person was once an elder of the Lingxiao Sect, but was demoted to inner disciple after Huang Zhenzhen arrived.
"Please spare Elder Luo's life."
Someone else knelt down, pleading for Luo Lan.
After two people took the lead, all the inner disciple knelt down, including Chen Changming, and everyone pleaded for Luo Lan.
Kneeling on the ground, Chen Changming lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, his heart heavy with sorrow.
He desperately wanted to kill the Huang family father and daughter, as well as that beast Qin Changtian, but his strength was currently limited. If he acted rashly, not only would he fail to save his Senior Sister, but he would also lose his own life.
Looking at the kneeling Lingxiao Sect inner disciple, Huang Tianqi was stunned. He hadn't expected Luo Lan to have such high prestige in the Lingxiao Sect, that so many people would plead for her.
"He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment."
Huang Tianqi's mind stirred, and he looked at the crowd calmly, saying, "Given the irrefutable evidence, Luo Lan should have been executed. However, considering her past contributions to the Lingxiao Sect, I will now order her to hand over the Foundation Establishment and then escort her to the Seven Paths Ridge Spirit Stone Mine to mine for twenty years before she can return to the Lingxiao Sect."
"You might as well kill me..."
Luo Lan's face was pale, and her delicate body swayed precariously.
She spent all her savings to obtain a Foundation Establishment, only to be tricked back by that sly fox Huang Zhenzhen. She was then falsely accused and sentenced to be sent to Spirit Stone Mine to mine for twenty years.
"If you wish to die, I will grant your wish."
Huang Tianqi smiled sternly and raised his hand again.
"My lord, this is Foundation Establishment."
Chen Changming quickly ran over and handed over a jade box.
Offering the Foundation Establishment will save Senior Sister's life.
Going mining is better than getting killed.
He believed that he would eventually have a chance to rescue his Senior Sister within twenty years.
Huang Tianqi did not answer.
Huang Zhenzhen took the jade box, opened it, and glanced at it. A smug smile immediately appeared on her face.
Her plan to kill two birds with one stone was progressing very smoothly.
Not only did they defeat Luo Lan, they also obtained the Foundation Establishment from Chen Changming.
Qin Changtian, who had always been extremely respectful, now had a smile on his lips.
Chen Changming's aptitude was already utterly terrible, and now that he has lost his only Foundation Establishment, his path to Foundation Establishment is now cut off.
"Foolish bird, just stay in the Lingxiao Sect and farm properly from now on! Still dreaming of Foundation Establishment!"
Qin Changtian chuckled inwardly.
Sizzle!
Huang Tianqi suddenly reached out and flicked out several strands of wind from his fingers, which landed on Luo Lan and sealed her cultivation.
"Send it to Seven Paths Ridge."
He said this to a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xiaguang Sect.
"Yes."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator agreed, grabbed Luo Lan, and flew away on his sword, quickly disappearing into the sky.
"Father, this is 200,000 catties of medium-grade Spirit Rice, a special gift from your daughter to show my respect."
Huang Zhenzhen took out a Storage Bag and smiled sweetly.
Taking the Storage Bag and glancing at the Spirit Rice inside, Huang Tianqi's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "Good, not bad. Which disciple grew this?"
"It's him, Chen Changming."
Huang Zhenzhen with her hand.
Chen Changming was immediately overwhelmed with anger and hated this woman.
If he had the power, he would even have liked to kill Huang Zhenzhen first.
"Hmm, Qi Cultivation Level 10... Not bad."
Huang Tianqi looked Chen Changming up and down, as if he were seeing a treasure, and nodded with great satisfaction.
"You may all leave now."
Huang Zhenzhen waved her hand and addressed the group of inner disciple of the Lingxiao Sect.
The group responded, each with their own thoughts, and then left Lingxiao Peak.
The entire plaza is now empty except for Huang Tianqi, Huang Zhenzhen, Qin Changtian, Chen Changming, and some Foundation Establishment cultivators from the original Xiaguang Sect.
" Chen Changming, among the disciples who cultivate Spirit Rice, your cultivation level is top-notch."
Huang Tianqi looked at Chen Changming and smiled with great appreciation, "How about this, my Xiaguang Sect also has quite a few spirit fields, from now on we'll entrust them to you."
"Yes."
Chen Changming hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
"Someone, take him there."
Huang Tianqi said.
Are you leaving now?
Chen Changming's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly hesitated before explaining earnestly, "Sir, there are many tasks related to planting Spirit Rice in the back mountain, so I need to wait a while before I can leave."
"Okay, then I'll send someone to pick you up in half a month."
Huang Tianqi disagreed.
In his view, these were all trivial matters. What tricks could a mere disciple at the Qi Cultivation Level 10 Refining possibly pull?
Upon hearing this, Chen Changming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He had actually made up his mind to leave Lingxiao Sect when his Senior Sister was taken away.
However, he was still deeply troubled.
He wouldn't feel at ease leaving even if he didn't kill Qin Changtian and Huang Zhenzhen; he always felt that life had lost its meaning.
"I'm going back."
Huang Tianqi looked at Huang Zhenzhen and said earnestly, "Zhenzhen, why don't you come with me? There's a spot available at the Spirit Vein."
"Father, I'll go by myself in three days."
Huang Zhenzhen glanced at the handsome Qin Changtian, her peach blossom eyes filled with reluctance and longing.
