127: Chapter 127 This Master Has Been Found

"This is the evidence. Revered Master, please have a look."

To prevent Xiong Meng or other doubters from attacking, under Xu Changsheng's reminder, Chu Linger released her full aura, her silver protective spiritual light circulating to the extreme.

She walked up the steps one by one.

Looking at the familiar title page.

A hint of disbelief flashed across Song Hongyu's face.

Xiong Meng trembled all over, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His expression turned extremely ugly, and the slight confidence he had gathered earlier vanished instantly, replaced by fear.

Because he had indeed betrayed the Immortal City, and could even be said to have sold it out.

The reason the Formation had not yet malfunctioned was exactly as Xu Changsheng had deduced; he was exposed before he could instruct Song Hongyu to tamper with it.

Originally.

He was secretly delighted.

Not only could he gloss it over, but he could also dispel the last shred of doubt Yellow Ox had.

But that title page, though thin, was heavier than Mount Tai, crushing all the defenses in his heart.

"This is?"

Yellow Ox took the document, glanced at it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Then his pupils dilated suddenly, and his cloudy eyes stared unblinkingly at the contents.

Chu Linger raised her head proudly and walked down the steps in two-step strides, saying joyfully through her Divine Sense, "Master, your plan is great. Now Master is completely absorbed in it."

"Very good. Based on what you said, the Immortal Master's son, Huang Shaotian, is also here?"

"Yes."

"Good. Keep an eye on his surroundings. If anything happens, be ready to act at any time."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about it. Just do as I say."

On the dais, Yellow Ox's face grew colder. Unconsciously, his fingertips were already digging deep into his palms.

At the same time, a massive Divine Sense burst from the Immortal Master like a gale, sweeping toward everyone with intense pressure.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

Seeing Yellow Ox's ashen face.

Even a three-year-old child would know that the Immortal Master was truly furious at this moment.

Xiong Meng's heart sank completely to the bottom.

He frantically thought of ways to break the situation.

"Escape?"

There were at least two Golden Core True Persons and three False Core Cultivators in the hall. With his Foundation Establishment cultivation, he couldn't escape even if he had wings.

"What should I do?"

He had already exposed his secret as a traitor; the end result would be death.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

The idea became more and more concrete in his mind.

"It can only be this way."

Countless thoughts merged into one.

He hurriedly returned to the center of the hall and knelt down.

"Master, you must believe me! What I said before was absolutely sincere, not a single lie!"

Xiong Meng cried bitterly and shouted.

However, in everyone's eyes, the more Xiong Meng denied it, the more it confirmed his identity as a traitor.

Yellow Ox ignored his pleas.

However, Xiong Meng's attention was not on the person on the dais at all.

He knew very well that he only had one chance, and it was fleeting.

Just then.

Yellow Ox finally saw the clear signature at the bottom.

He put down the title page and gritted his teeth: "Xiong Meng! Do you admit your guilt?"

"Now!"

A flash of madness crossed Xiong Meng's face. His aura suddenly surged, and with a large stride, he arrived in front of Huang Shaotian.

That's right.

He wanted to take Huang Shaotian hostage. As long as he held the boy's life in his hands, he would have a chance to live.

"Not good!"

Immortal Master Jin Chuan on the steps was the first to notice something wrong. He was slightly dazed, never expecting Xiong Meng to suddenly lash out.

With a triumphant look, Xiong Meng grabbed a small knife hidden at his waist, his eyes bloodshot.

It seemed that in the next moment, Huang Shaotian would become his hostage.

Huang Shaotian usually lived a life of luxury and had never experienced a true life-and-death struggle. How could he handle such a situation?

He stood frozen in place, at a loss.

"Hmph!"

At the critical moment, a cold snort came from behind Huang Shaotian.

Without anyone noticing.

A giant silver sword was summoned by Chu Linger—the top-grade Spiritual Artifact, the Silver Silk Sword.

At this moment, thousands of silver threads merged, the silver light like the moon, emitting an astonishing Spiritual Pressure.

Xiong Meng didn't dare to be careless.

He hurriedly threw himself backward.

"Boom!"

Using hastily prepared means, Xiong Meng barely blocked the strike.

After crashing through two pillars, he slammed heavily against the back wall and fell to the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

In disbelief, he said bitterly, "Junior Sister Chu, when did you exchange for this Spiritual Artifact? This costs thirty thousand Spirit Stones!"

Chu Linger smiled sweetly. "Of course it was... earned!"

"Impossible! Others might not know you, but I do. There's no way you could have so many Spirit Stones!"

Just then, Jin Chuan's movement was completed, and a rope condensed from spiritual power tied Xiong Meng up tightly.

On the other side.

Song Hongyu received the same treatment.

"Thud."

The two were dragged to the front of the steps.

Only then did the people in the back react.

"Xiong Meng, Song Hongyu, you two..."

Their eyes were wide, especially the many Elders who had previously spoken in support of their opinions.

Now they were all dumbfounded, shocked into silence.

It took a while.

Jin Chuan pointed at Xiong Meng and roared, "You beast! You betrayed the Immortal City and colluded with the Demonic Path! What benefits did the Demonic Path give you to make you willing to fall so low?"

"Heh..."

Xiong Meng's face was pale, knowing he wouldn't survive.

His mouth was full of blood: "Hahaha, when did you ever truly treat me, Xiong, as one of your own? Since I became a disciple, I've been diligent and never slackened for a moment."

"And what about you? For all the rewards, I'm always last. For every evaluation, I'm at the bottom! You wouldn't even give me the 'Wild Bull Strength'!"

"I'm like a stray dog on the side of the road, never valued by you. Is this all my life can be?"

Jin Chuan retorted, "You shameless thing! The Immortal City let you hold a position in a department, and in the most important North District at that. Is that not enough value?"

"It's not enough!"

Xiong Meng roared, his features distorted, spitting out a mouthful of bloody water.

He wanted to continue.

But Yellow Ox on the dais was already tired of it. With a wave of his hand, a beam of spiritual light struck out, knocking both of them unconscious.

"Enough, I don't want to hear any more."

"Take them to the dungeon and interrogate them slowly later."

"Yes."

The guards nearby followed the order and dragged the unconscious pair out.

It wasn't until the guards crossed the threshold that everyone seemed to wake up from a dream.

They all apologized to Chu Linger.

Chu Linger didn't care and waved them off.

She was secretly delighted.

She felt more and more that following Xu Changsheng was the right choice. Not only could she earn Spirit Stones easily, but she could also show off like today.

"This Master was truly the right choice!"

You see, as the youngest Junior Sister, she was often the one being scolded.

Suddenly, she noticed a passionate gaze from in front of her; it was Huang Shaotian.

She curled her lip and turned her head away.

Yellow Ox apologized to everyone: "I originally wanted to clarify things for everyone, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this today."

"Let's end it here for today. Jin Chuan, Linger, and Shaotian will stay. The rest of you, I won't see you out!"
