There's Still a Chance to Turn Things Around!

Sang Ying never expected that she would be so moved by her mere visit to the Yin Mountain Sect that the entire sect would burst into tears upon her return to the banquet.

Helpless, she asked, "Everyone, why are you all crying?"

Sang Ying had always seen cultivators who shed blood and sweat but never tears. This was the first time she had seen cultivators crying so miserably, and she found it quite amusing, even though it was a bit malicious.

Lin Yan looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of her, not even understanding what had happened, with glistening tears still clinging to her eyelashes. "Fellow Daoist Sang, are you alright?!"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" As Sang Ying spoke, Jiang Zhuoxue stepped out from behind her.

Accompanying Jiang Zhuoxue was the junior disciple of the Yin Mountain Sect, who had transformed into Gu Wangchuan.

The junior brother rushed straight to Liu Duanyue as soon as he appeared, his voice filled with excitement. "Senior brother, I'm back! This time, Fellow Daoist Sang and I took a lot of good stuff from the Moonless Household. Fellow Daoist Sang said I can do with it myself."

The person resembling Gu Wangchuan was calling their young sect leader "Senior Brother." This scene was even more shocking than the sudden appearance of Sang Ying.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, why are you calling our young sect leader 'Senior Brother'? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" a disciple sitting next to Liu Duanyue asked with a strained voice.

"Gu Wangchuan" turned around and smiled at him, "Senior Brother Zhao, it's me! I'm Xiao Lin. I switched identities with Fellow Daoist Gu!"

"What?!"

Everyone was surprised once again.

They crowded around him, touching and groping their junior brother. Some even pinched his cheeks, trying to find out what was going on.

But no matter how they looked at it, they could tell that it was clearly Gu Wangchuan. The junior brother was half a head shorter than Gu Wangchuan and not as handsome.

How could these two have switched identities?

Some people looked at their "junior brother" sitting in a corner of the banquet, hoping he could give them a satisfactory answer.

The man casually popped a few spirit fruits into his mouth, and then everyone saw that very familiar face seem to distort for a moment, before appearing before them was a face that completely belonged to Gu Wangchuan.

At this moment, "Gu Wangchuan" on the other side also reverted to his original form.

The junior apprentice also sensed this. He raised his hand to touch his now-recovered face and clapped his hands excitedly. "Great! I've finally recovered! Now you should believe me, right? I really am Xiao Lin!"

With the facts laid bare, no one dared to make a foolish mistake again. This immediately explained the things that had puzzled them earlier.

No wonder Fellow Daoist Sang agreed so easily to leave with the Moonless Household. No wonder Fellow Daoist Sang called the Young Sect Master and Xiao Lin into the house to discuss important matters before leaving.

No wonder their Xiao Lin, who has always been lacking in talent, was able to completely clear the dungeon in the Severed Vitality Minor Secret Realm!

"So, was this all planned by Fellow Daoist Sang and the Young Sect Master?" someone asked.

Liu Duanyue answered him directly, "That's right, this was Fellow Daoist Sang's idea. She knew all along that once she was taken away, she definitely wouldn't be able to participate in this competition. How can we let the Moonless Household take away such a great opportunity for our Yin Mountain Sect?"

The crowd cheered again; this was practically the second piece of good news they had heard that day. And all of this good news was brought by Fellow Daoist Sang.

In an instant, the entire Yin Mountain Sect became increasingly friendly towards Sang Ying and her companions.

"Oh, by the way, Fellow Daoist Sang, how did you leave the City Lord's Mansion? Did the Moonless Household release you because they saw you were no longer of any use?" someone asked again.

Upon hearing this question, the junior brother's smile vanished instantly, "No way! Those hypocrites from the Moonless Household have no intention of letting us go. After we won the second match, they wanted to pin Gao Heng's death on us and make us pay for Gao Heng!"

The junior brother's words caused quite a stir among the disciples. They had previously thought that the Moonless Household had some sense of honor and therefore wouldn't dare to lay a hand on Sang Ying and the others.

But now it seems that the Moonless Clan is utterly rotten!

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Sang for discovering this in advance and leading us out of the City Lord's Mansion. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't even have had a chance to explain, and they would have directly pinned the charges on us!" The junior brother became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and even the spirit chicken in his mouth lost its flavor.

After listening to his disciple's accusations, Sect Master Liu's expression turned grim.

Sect Master Liu was already displeased that the other party forcibly took away their guest elders, but now that he knows these people want to arbitrarily pin charges on Sang Ying and the others, there's no way he can be happy.

The junior brother didn't stop talking. He recounted his experiences over the past few days to everyone like a storyteller, naturally including the bullying and punishment the three of them had inflicted on Wuyue Wensheng.

It's fair to say that the entire City Lord's Mansion hasn't had a moment's peace these past few days. If the Moonless Household hadn't been so stingy, attacking them right after losing the competition, they would have liked to stay a little longer to extract more valuable items from them.

The junior student's presentation was captivating, and the others listened intently.

Sect Master Liu watched this scene and silently took a sip of spiritual wine.

After this day, he will settle accounts with the Moonless Clan!

"What did you say? They ran away?!" Wuyue Qing's voice was sharper than ever before.

Wuyue Wensheng lowered her head, not daring to look at the expression on the person in front of her.

"What exactly did you do? Why did you let them escape? The city lord's mansion has so many layers of formations, and you still let them get away. You really disappoint me!" Wuyue Wensheng was a subordinate that Wuyue Qing had trained for a long time, and this was the first time she had said such serious words to him.

Wuyue Wensheng himself was also very frightened. After receiving the message from Wuyue Qing, he quickly received instructions from the head of the family.

Both sides said not to let Sang Ying and the other two go, and he naturally did as they said.

Unfortunately, he was too late. The news had leaked out from somewhere, and just as Wuyue Wensheng was about to force Sang Ying and the others to sign with his testimony, a muffled thud was heard—the City Lord's Mansion had been smashed open!

Forget about those formations; even the once-sturdy wall of the City Lord's Mansion still has a large hole in it.

Fortunately, Wuyue Qing's anger only lasted a moment, and she quickly regained her composure. "Forget it, it's no use saying anything more now. This time we fell into the Yin Mountain Sect's trap and underestimated that guy surnamed Sang. But next time, they won't be so lucky!"

Remembering the plan her father told her before she met Wuyue Wensheng, Wuyue Qing's heart was filled with longing once again.

Perhaps, their clan still has a chance to rise again!
