513: Chapter 513 Who did it? I'll find them!

*Whoosh—*

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted!

The standing nuns could no longer restrain themselves; gasps, discussions, and the sound of sharp intakes of breath intertwined, like a pot boiling over.

"Was it really Jingxiang?"

"Heavens, how could the Eldest Senior Sister do such a thing?"

"I really didn't expect that female benefactor was actually kidnapped by them!"

"Could there be some mistake?"

...

The truth.

At this moment, it was completely revealed.

Jingxiang lay on the ground, suddenly snapping her head up with bloodshot eyes, looking like a maddened beast.

"You... you're slandering me!"

"When did I ever tell you to do such a thing?"

"Are you all colluding to harm me?"

The junior sister was so startled by her roar that she shrunk her neck and recoiled half a meter back.

But her tears wouldn't stop falling as she sobbed her defense.

"I... I didn't..."

"Eldest Senior Sister, you told us personally that once we captured that person, both we and you would have the chance to enter the Kunlun Ruins!"

"You said it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if we missed it, it would be gone forever..."

"You also said that Master is old and Qingyin Nunnery is too small, that we shouldn't be trapped on this broken island..."

The junior sister's voice grew quieter, but every word was like a knife, stabbing deep into Abbess Jingci's heart.

Abbess Jingci's expression turned completely cold.

Her gaze was like a blade, staring fixedly at Jingxiang.

"Jingxiang."

"If you don't give a proper explanation today..."

"This old monk will purge the sect of this evil!"

A sharp, powerful aura erupted from her body.

Her monastic robes fluttered loudly.

The surrounding mist was shaken into turbulent waves.

The pressure of the Late Heaven Realm weighed down on everyone's hearts like something physical.

The nuns' faces changed drastically, and they all retreated.

Jingxiang, lying on the ground, was pressed so hard by this aura that she could barely lift her head.

Her face was as white as paper, her lips trembled, and she looked as if she had been hollowed out.

But she did not confess her guilt.

She looked up at Abbess Jingci, her eyes filled with tears.

"Master..."

"I didn't do all this for myself."

Abbess Jingci's brow furrowed.

Jingxiang took a deep breath and continued to shout.

"I did it for Qingyin Nunnery!"

"For you, Master!"

"For all my fellow sisters!"

She became more agitated as she spoke, her voice trembling.

"There is a powerful figure at Shenni Nunnery; it was she who specifically notified me and told me to bring that woman here!"

"This secret passage was also told to me by her!"

"She said she would come to Qingyin Nunnery today, ostensibly to visit and bestow scriptures, but secretly she needed me to cooperate with her to send the person out!"

"Once it's successful, there will be ten slots to follow her to the Kunlun Ruins!"

"Master! Ten slots!"

"As long as ten people from our Qingyin Nunnery can enter the Kunlun Ruins to cultivate, who would dare look down on us?"

"Haven't you always wanted to make Qingyin Nunnery flourish?"

"Isn't this the best opportunity?"

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence for a moment.

The next second.

The entire place completely erupted!

The standing nuns could no longer hold back.

Exclamations!

Discussions!

The sound of sharp intakes of breath!

Everything intertwined at once, like a pot boiling over.

"Shenni Nunnery? Kunlun Ruins?"

"Heavens, Eldest Senior Sister actually connected with that line?"

"But kidnapping someone! That's illegal!"

"The law? Our Qingyin Nunnery is on the sea; when have we ever been governed by the laws of the mainland?"

...

Listening to Jingxiang's words and the surrounding discussions.

Bai Wanqing's face turned ashen.

So...

Her sister wasn't kidnapped because of some personal grudge, but because she was being used as a bargaining chip?

To be traded for ten cultivation slots to enter the Kunlun Ruins?

But the question is...

Why did the other party want to capture her sister?

Wait...

Bai Wanqing's eyes flashed as she thought of a possibility.

That was the Bai family!

The Bai family had people inside the Kunlun Ruins.

And she had long since broken ties with the Bai family!

Other than the Bai family, or the group of people behind them, it was impossible for anyone else to come for Shanshan!!!

Ye Chen heard this and looked down at Jingxiang lying on the ground.

"A powerful figure from Shenni Nunnery?"

"Heh..."

"Things seem to have become more interesting?"

Jingxiang gritted her teeth and said nothing.

She understood...

The truth was already out.

Anything else she said would be useless...

Abbess Jingci's expression shifted uncertainly.

On her sallow face, various emotions intertwined.

Today...

A team from Shenni Nunnery was indeed supposed to come over.

This had been scheduled half a month ago.

The other party said they were coming to Qingyin Nunnery to bestow scriptures and exchange ideas.

She was very happy at the time, feeling that Qingyin Nunnery was finally being noticed by those high-and-mighty figures.

She had even ordered her disciples to clean the guest rooms and prepare vegetarian meals, just waiting to welcome the distinguished guests.

But she never imagined...

The other party didn't come here to bestow scriptures at all.

They were here to capture someone!

What was even more ridiculous was that the other party had used her most trusted eldest disciple to carry out such shady business right under her nose!

And their Qingyin Nunnery had been used as a tool without even knowing it!

They were even...

Smugly pleased with themselves!

Suddenly!

Abbess Jingci suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and her entire aura withered significantly.

"Jingxiang."

Her voice was very calm.

So calm that she didn't sound like someone who had just been betrayed by her most trusted disciple.

But precisely because of this, Jingxiang shuddered violently: "Ma... Master..."

"Who is that powerful figure you mentioned?" Abbess Jingci asked.

Jingxiang's face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Speak."

Abbess Jingci's voice turned cold, and the pressure of the Late Heaven Realm instantly weighed down on Jingxiang.

Jingxiang was already lying on the ground, and under this pressure, she was pressed directly against the floor.

But she gritted her teeth and refused to open her mouth.

"Master, I cannot say..."

"She said if I revealed her identity, she would kill everyone in Qingyin Nunnery!"

Abbess Jingci was completely enraged: "You..."

However.

Before she could speak.

Ye Chen smiled and said something shocking: "What a coincidence, aren't you afraid I'll kill you all too?"

The entire audience: "???"

Good grief!

They were so busy being shocked that they forgot the most fatal thing...

The young man before them was the one they truly couldn't afford to provoke.

If he wanted to kill, how long would it take him to kill these hundreds of nuns present?

Jingxiang lay on the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She finally realized what a foolish mistake she had made.

She thought the powerful figure from Shenni Nunnery was a celestial being she couldn't afford to offend.

But she forgot...

The fiend before her was the one she could afford to offend even less.

Since her Master had already stated the other party's identity, no matter how uninformed she was, it was impossible for her not to know...

Upon hearing this, Abbess Jingci's expression became very ugly.

She knew.

She had to give Ye Chen an explanation today, or else he would not appease his anger.

In an instant.

Her expression struggled for a few moments, and then she knelt directly down.

"Master!!!"

The surrounding nuns cried out in alarm, their faces all changing drastically.

Abbess Jingci knelt on the ground, palms together, and bowed deeply to Ye Chen.

"Benefactor Ye."

"This poor nun has failed in teaching her disciple, leading this wicked disciple to commit such an evil act."

"Kidnapping your friend and stealing the buddha head are all the faults of my Qingyin Nunnery."

"As the abbess, I cannot escape the responsibility."

She looked up, her eyes rimmed with red, but no tears fell.

"If Benefactor Ye wishes to kill to vent his anger, I am willing to pay with my life."

"I only ask that Benefactor Ye spares the other disciples of Qingyin Nunnery."

"They are innocent."

The surrounding nuns were completely frantic.

Dozens of people rushed forward, scrambling to help Abbess Jingci up.

"Master, please get up! How can you kneel to him? If anyone should kneel, it's us!"

"Master, you can't do this!"

A middle-aged nun in her forties, eyes red, tightly grabbed Abbess Jingci's arm.

"Master, this has nothing to do with you, it was all that wretch Jingxiang's doing!"

"If you kneel, where will the face of our Qingyin Nunnery be?"

Another nun also knelt down, crying out: "Master, get up! If someone must kneel, I will kneel for you! If someone must be punished, I will take it for you!"

Her kneeling was like the first domino falling.

*Thump!*

*Thump!*

*Thump!*

One after another, the nuns knelt down.

In the blink of an eye.

A large area of the cave was filled with kneeling figures.

Cries and pleas intertwined even more.

But...

Abbess Jingci had already closed her eyes, motionless.

The Buddha said.

"If I do not enter hell, who will?"

She was already prepared to die in place of her disciple.

Failing to teach properly is a sin!

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen looked speechless: "Everyone, get up."

No one dared to move.

Ye Chen sighed.

"I said, everyone get up."

He looked at Abbess Jingci, "Abbess, you get up too."

Abbess Jingci looked up, stunned for a moment.

Ye Chen continued.

"I am a person who deals with things as they are."

"I'll find whoever did it."

"I won't blame the problem on unrelated people."

He looked down at Jingxiang lying on the ground, then glanced at the five trembling accomplices.

"Since these few people did it, then I will settle the score with them."

"It has nothing to do with the rest of your Qingyin Nunnery."

"And it has even less to do with you, Abbess."
