At this moment, Li Changfeng's gaze fell on the Mount Song Sect members. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he exuded a chilling aura, which startled them.
Yang Feng's face turned pale instantly, and he said in a panic, "This... this has nothing to do with us! It was that Zuo Bufan brat Zuo Bufan who did it himself. That bastard poisoned us all! You have to believe me! I absolutely did not mean to harm you!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Kangcheng gritted his teeth, "Senior Li... Senior Li! Elder Yang is telling the truth, we really didn't know, please believe us!"
Li Changfeng frowned upon hearing this, and believed them. He then looked at Zuo Kangcheng and transmitted his voice, "Brother Zuo! I believe you! Now that things have come to this, you know what to do!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Kangcheng's expression changed slightly. He immediately understood Li Changfeng's meaning, and his eyes were filled with ambition. He said to the people of the Mount Song Sect in a deep voice, "Zuo Bufan! He died in the ruins. After we found his body, we buried him in the ruins. Do you understand?"
The people from the Mount Song Sect were surprised upon hearing this, and their gazes toward Zuo Kangcheng were filled with doubt. They wondered if the words of this person, who was not favored by the sect leader, carried any weight.
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, "Now that Zuo Bufan is dead, and the sect leader has no other offspring! The position of sect leader will definitely belong to Zuo Kangcheng in the future, and I must seize this opportunity to befriend him!"
Yang Feng's gaze sharpened as he coldly stared at the disciples of Songshan, shouting, "Did you all understand what the young sect leader said? If anyone still doesn't understand, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples' faces turned pale with shock, and they quickly said, "We understand! Elder Yang!"
Yang Feng's face turned cold upon hearing this. "This isn't directed at me! It's directed at the young sect leader! Your punishment is ten slaps to the face each! Execute immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Mount Song Sect looked extremely grim. They gritted their teeth and began to slap themselves. Zuo Kangcheng saw this and narrowed his eyes slightly. He immediately understood that Yang Feng was playing the bad cop for him, in order to win over the hearts of the people!
"Alright! Let's let it go this time! They didn't react in time, so let's give them a chance!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Feng said with a stern face, "Hmph! You're lucky this time! I'll let it go this time because the young sect leader pleaded for you! Hurry up and thank the young sect leader!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Mount Song Sect looked at Zuo Kangcheng with gratitude and respectfully said, "Thank you for sparing our lives, Young Sect Master!"
Zuo Kangcheng nodded upon hearing this and said calmly, "Get up, all of you!"
Then, Zuo Kangcheng slowly transmitted his voice to Yang Feng, saying, "Elder Yang! I will remember this favor and will definitely repay it handsomely in the future! Don't worry!"
Yang Feng was overjoyed to hear what he wanted to hear and replied telepathically, "This is what I should do!"
At this moment, Li Changfeng saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "Yang Feng finally did the right thing this time and seized this excellent opportunity!"
Zuo Kangcheng was also very grateful for the opportunity given to him by Li Changfeng, and said in a telepathic message: "Brother Li! I will never forget this kindness! I will definitely help you if you ever need anything in the future!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Alright! I understand!"
The next morning.
The group parted ways at an intersection, slowly walking towards their respective sects, while Li Changfeng followed the Emei Sect and left slowly.
Emei Sect.
After three days, they finally returned to the Emei Sect. Zhou Zhiruo's face was slightly pale, and she looked very nervous. She transmitted her voice, "Brother Feng! Maybe we should just forget about it! This is too dangerous for you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng shook his head. "My mind is made up! There's always a solution to this!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng stepped into Emei Sect without another word. As soon as Li Changfeng arrived at the entrance, he was stopped by two Emei disciples. "Stop right there! This is Emei Sect! Men are not allowed to enter!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng cupped his hands in greeting, "Junior sisters! I need to speak with the Emei Sect Leader! Please make an exception for me!"
The two Emei disciples scoffed, "What a joke! Do you think just anyone can see our sect leader? What right does a mere brat have to meet our sect leader? Get out of here! Or don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Li Changfeng frowned upon hearing this. In his current state, it would be difficult for him to see the Emei Sect Leader. Just then, Jingling Shitai slowly walked over. "Let him in! He does indeed have something to discuss with the Sect Leader!"
The two Emei disciples were startled upon hearing this and quickly cupped their hands, saying, "We accept your command!"
Then, Jingling Shitai glanced at Li Changfeng indifferently, "Come with me! I'll take you to see the sect leader! And Zhiruo, you come along too!"
Li Changfeng nodded upon hearing this, "Alright! Then I'll trouble Jingling Shitai to lead the way!"
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo followed Li Changfeng obediently, leaving the group of Emei disciples behind. After seeing Li Changfeng and the others walk away, two of the Emei disciples quickly pulled one of them aside and asked:
"What on earth is going on! How could Aunt Jingling bring a man in?!"
The Emei disciple sighed, "Something big is about to happen at Emei! I can't say for sure, but you'll find out when the time comes!"
At this moment, Jingling Shitai led the two of them to the place of the Emei Sect Leader. As soon as they stepped in, they felt a powerful aura pressing down on them, making it difficult for Li Changfeng and Zhou Zhiruo to breathe and causing them great discomfort!
"Zhou Zhiruo! Do you know your crime?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo's face turned pale, and she immediately knelt on the ground, lowering her head and gritting her teeth, saying, "This disciple knows her crime!"
Seeing this, Li Changfeng quickly looked past Zhou Zhiruo and cupped his hands, saying, "The responsibility for this matter lies with me! Please, Emei Sect, do not blame Zhiruo!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a figure in Ziyi robes flashed before Li Changfeng's eyes. She stared coldly at Li Changfeng and said in a deep voice, "You're quite responsible, kid! But the crime you've committed is unforgivable!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng bit his lip. "I know that Zhiruo has violated serious sect rules! But Zhiruo and I are truly in love. Please, Sect Leader of Emei, grant us your blessing!"
The Emei sect leader sneered, "Accept your request? What a joke! Don't think that just because you have connections with Shaolin I can ignore your affairs. Violating the sect rules means you must be punished! No one can change your mind!"
Seeing the Emei sect leader's firm stance, Li Changfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Then how about this! I'll take the punishment in her place! Is that alright?"
The Emei sect leader narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this. "You're going to take the punishment for him? You dare say that! Do you know what kind of punishment she'll receive? She'll have her cultivation destroyed and be subjected to the torture of being cut into a thousand pieces!"
