Chapter 47
Ye Qinghui's words caused an uproar among the audience.
"No wonder Ye Qingyun's cultivation was previously hindered, and he couldn't even break through to the Golden Core. But later he suddenly rushed to the Golden Core Late Stage and even broke through to the Nascent Soul. It turns out he stole his First Senior Brother's Inner Core."
"Our First Senior Brother Innate Sword Bone, so his Spirit Pill must be extremely effective. Ye Qingyun's behavior is utterly shameful."
"Exactly! He stole First Senior Brother's Inner Core and even tried to steal First Senior Brother spot in the Immortal Sects Grand Tournament Competition. First Senior Brother has taken such good care of him and trusted him so much all these years. This kind of person repays kindness with enmity; he's as venomous as a snake, utterly vicious!"
Since Ye Qingyun's cultivation level increased, his attitude has become extremely arrogant. He often bullies the weak and even forcibly seizes other people's Cultivation Resources. Many disciples who were watching had long disliked him, and now they were even more indignant, shouting and cursing at him, wishing they could throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at his face.
"How could that be? That's completely untrue, Ye Qinghui, don't spout nonsense!" Ye Qingyun forced himself to remain calm. "It's my exceptional talent and diligent cultivation that have allowed my cultivation to continuously improve. What does it have to do with your Inner Core? You were tricked out of your inner Inner Core by the Charm Demon, yet you insist on pinning the blame on me. First Senior Brother, I respected you so much, I never imagined you would be this kind of person!"
Ye Qingyun's silver tongue made some people hesitate again. What was really going on behind the scenes? Could there be some misunderstanding?
"Is that so?" Ye Qinghui took out a large, crystal-clear hammer brimming with spiritual power from his Heaven-and-Earth Ring. "Then let's verify who's lying."
What is this?
"Xuandu Glazed Hammer"
Ye Qinghui placed the Xuandu Glazed Hammer in front of Ye Qingyun's inner palace, and the Inner Core in Dantian's dantian was quickly drawn out and hovered in mid-air.
The Inner Core was clearly formed by the fusion of two pills: one was a dull, red Inner Core with little spiritual energy, while the other was a shimmering, Spiritual Qi vibrant blue Inner Core.
"They really are two Inner Core!" someone exclaimed.
Ye Qinghui raised the Xuandu Glazed Hammer high and swung it forcefully towards the center of the Inner Core. The two Inner Core immediately separated. After sensing its master, the blue Inner Core trembled with excitement and flew towards Ye Qinghui, voluntarily entering Ye Qinghui's inner palace and returning to its place.
"Ye Qingyun, you actually colluded with the Charm Demon to steal Qinghui's Inner Core!" the Discipline Hall elder roared. "Such a heinous act should be punished according to the sect rules."
"My Inner Core!" Ever since Ye Qingyun fused with Ye Qinghui's Inner Core, his long-parched Dantian suddenly became full, and he made rapid progress in swordsmanship and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. He watched helplessly as the blue Inner Core flew towards Ye Qinghui, and unwillingly reached out to snatch it back, momentarily forgetting to ask for his own Inner Core back.
The next moment, he saw the Discipline Hall Elder pick up the Xuandu Glazed Hammer and smash his Inner Core to pieces. "The most taboo thing for a cultivator is to associate with demons and lose their Dao Heart. Ye Qingyun, a person like you is not worthy of cultivating immortality, and your Inner Core is unnecessary!"
As if losing his support, Ye Qingyun's legs gave way, and he collapsed to his knees, his eyes glazed over, muttering repeatedly, "My Inner Core, my Inner Core..."
Ye Rufeng drew his sword, intending to ambush the Discipline Hall elder, but was struck by Ye Ruheng's sword and fell to the ground. The elder quickly stepped forward, used the Xuandu Glazed Hammer to absorb Ye Rufeng's Inner Core, and without hesitation, slammed down with the hammer as well.
With a loud bang, Ye Rufeng's arduous cultivation for a hundred years, which had finally reached the Void Refinement Realm Inner Core, was instantly shattered, and his hundred years of cultivation vanished into thin air.
[The Discipline Hall Elder is so fierce! That hammer blow was well done!] Ye Zhenzhen clapped her hands excitedly from the side, feeling extremely gratified.
Ye Qingchuan couldn't help but glance at her, his Auspicious Phoenix Eyes sparkling with a bright smile.
She glared at him and then made a face at him.
"Ye Rufeng, this is your..."
Master and apprentice
"You two deserve this lesson. Having joined my Cloud Cloudsky Sect and become its disciples, you shouldn't have fawned over others, much less colluded with evil demons and sorcerers, becoming traitors to the sect." The Discipline Hall Elder sternly declared, "You are sentenced to spend the rest of your lives imprisoned in the sect's dungeon, never to cultivate again, and never to cause trouble again."
Ye Rufeng couldn't accept this outcome at all. First, he clutched his head, his head throbbing with pain, and then he started barking wildly like a mad dog, "Fine, Ye Ruheng, Ye Qinghui, don't be too smug! The Immortal Venerable will definitely send someone to save us. Your Inner Core will become ours sooner or later, and you will all die!"
As he spoke, he took out a bamboo flute from his Heaven-and-Earth Bag and began to play a tune.
The protective golden light above Cloudsky Mountain suddenly dissipated layer by layer, revealing that the sect's protective array had been destroyed. It turned out that Ye Rufeng had arranged for several of his Personal Disciple disciples to disrupt the sect's protective array as soon as he played his flute.
A large group of black figures flew in like a sudden storm, spreading rapidly like ink spilled on a blank sheet of paper. The leader was clad in a long black robe, his figure as elusive as a ghost, moving with incredible speed, and his cultivation was unfathomable.
"They've arrived! The Immortal Venerable has sent people to rescue us!" Ye Rufeng laughed maniacally.
This chapter is truly gratifying.
Justice will ultimately triumph over evil, oh yeah!
Chapter 47
================
Dark clouds surged, obscuring the sky and the sun.
A ghostly figure, carrying a powerful and malevolent aura, broke through the air, raising dust and seemingly causing the atmosphere of the world to change abruptly.
Could it be him?
Ye Qingchuan's legs went weak, and he almost fell over.
The newcomer was like a black whirlwind, about to reach the Cloudsky Sect members in an instant. A tense atmosphere filled the air; a bloody storm was about to descend upon this ancient sect.
Ye Zhenzhen noticed the change in Ye Qingchuan's expression, shook his leg, and made him hold her in his arms. If he didn't want to see that person, she could help him.
"Chuan'er, these people are up to no good. Take Zhenzhen and find somewhere to hide." Ye Ruheng draped the sect's only Invisibility Garment over Ye Qingchuan and told him to take Ye Zhenzhen and hide in the shadows. "No matter what happens, neither of you should come out. Remember that!"
