11: This Lao Deng is just a nobody!

"You..."

"That's right, I also think Elder San's words are reasonable."

"After all, Elder Zhuge probably doesn't want to make a decision that goes against the rules set by our ancestors, does he?"

Another voice came, slightly old, and surprisingly, it was Yang Yuan, the Peak Master of Medicine King Peak.

Leaning against the edge of his seat, his gray beard could not hide his authority, and a hint of cunning was revealed.

He stepped forward this time to express his dissatisfaction on behalf of his son.

He had learned from his precious son about Ye Xueqing making him embarrassed yesterday.

As the Peak Master of Medicine King Peak, in charge of the sect's pill distribution, Yang Yuan had a lot of illicit gains.

Moreover, many people, wanting more pills, would turn a blind eye to this old fellow, Yang Yuan, to a certain extent.

Adding to that, Yang Yuan had a son late in life, and he doted on his son, Yang Siyi, very much.

He would not allow him to suffer even the slightest harm.

In the past, when Ye Liufeng was present, no matter how much Ye Xueqing humiliated Yang Siyi, Yang Yuan, even if he was protective, would not dare to say anything.

But in the current situation, Ye Liufeng was not present. With just the Sect Master's wife and that old stubborn Zhuge Zhengwo, Yang Yuan could barely cope by losing face.

Besides, he wasn't the only one opposing them now.

Weren't there also Elder Er and Elder San to lead the charge?

He was only responsible for stalling; even if he was affected, it wouldn't be a severe blow.

Having lived this long, Old Man Yang Yuan was very shrewd in his heart.

"You... you all..."

"I never thought that you, who usually disdain the sect's etiquette, would today be more concerned with these courtesies than I."

"It's truly an eye-opener for this old man!"

"Don't let this old man catch an opportunity, or else you'll have a hard time!"

Looking at the three with a flushed face, his gaze lingered around the other elders. Zhuge Zhengwo still hoped that others would speak up and hinder Yuan Ji and Yuan Ke.

However, he never expected that those people would each remain neutral, either silent or scratching their ears and cheeks, as if contemplating what to do, which truly disappointed him.

In a fit of rage, he could only utter some harmless threats.

Afterward, he looked at Xia Junling again, his eyes revealing a hint of unwillingness and apology.

He had not handled the aftermath that Ye Liufeng had entrusted to him well.

"Good, good, good!"

"Since you are so eager to court death, I don't need to give you any face."

"You were the ones who sent people to contact Island of the Banished Immortals, weren't you?"

"Don't rush to refute; I have evidence."

"Recording Stone, you didn't expect that I would have these things, did you?"

"Elder Zhuge, take them down."

Xia Junling coldly glanced at Yuan Ji and Yuan Ke, completely unperturbed.

She was waiting for these people to jump out and refute her. Seeing that no one else jumped out besides that old fellow Yang Yuan, Xia Junling stopped pretending.

A pure, transparent crystal appeared from her hand, and then an image appeared, which was precisely the image of Yuan Ji's subordinate disciples going to Island of the Banished Immortals to hire assassins.

"This... how could this be?"

"How could she have these things?"

"Could it be..."

The moment the Recording Stone appeared, Yuan Ji's expression instantly turned panicked, but he calmed down after a moment.

His heart was in turmoil, and his gaze inadvertently flickered towards Xu Jiayin.

He believed his brother would not commit an act of betrayal.

After all, the blood relationship was there. Now, the only one he could suspect was that old fox, Xu Jiayin.

"This old scoundrel, as expected, is no good."

"No, I must strike first. I have to drag him down with me no matter what."

"He kept my evidence, but why wouldn't I keep his?"

"Sect Master's wife, this matter..."

"Bastard!"

"I never expected it, Elder Er, Elder San, you are such scum!"

"Today, I shall clean up the remnants for the Sect Master!"

His hand was about to reach out, as if to grab something, but before Yuan Ji could finish speaking, Xu Jiayin suddenly erupted, his spiritual power surging, forcefully suppressing the words Yuan Ji wanted to utter, turning his face liver-colored.

The movement of his hand also stiffened, and he had no more to say.

The oppressive feeling of the Ru Xuan realm was fully displayed. Xu Jiayin, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, easily captured both of them.

And, he successfully killed them.

Throughout the process, there was no hesitation. Everyone present had sufficient reason to suspect that Xu Jiayin had rehearsed this countless times in his mind to achieve such practiced skill today.

This old fellow was purely a sneaky old dog!

"Elder Xu, isn't what you're doing a bit out of line?"

"Even if Elder Er and Elder San betrayed us first, their deaths should be judged by my Law Enforcement Peak."

"And, it should be within our Hall of Penalties."

"You have overstepped."

"Otherwise, should I hand over my position as the Peak Master of Law Enforcement Peak to you?"

"Just so I can become the Great Elder."

"I've been in the same position for so long, I feel like I'm tired of it."

His eyes moved, and Zhuge Zhengwo's gaze overflowed with anger.

This pedantic old man disliked nothing more than anyone in the sect violating etiquette.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been constrained by Yuan Ke's words just now.

Such people are the most terrifying, but also the easiest to exploit.

Because rules always have many loopholes.

"Elder Zhuge, in urgent matters, extraordinary measures are justified."

"You can also see that if I didn't act immediately, these two traitors would certainly launch a sneak attack first."

"If any of those present were injured, how would Elder Zhuge compensate them?"

"Are the lives of those present not lives?"

As he spoke, Xu Jiayin saw Zhuge Zhengwo's face gradually turn liver-colored and knew that he had profited immensely from this.

His speech became faster and faster, like a pea shooter spitting out bullets.

Each shot wounded Zhuge Zhengwo.

"Besides you, me, and the Sect Master's wife, who could withstand a sneak attack from two Spirit Forming Peak elders?"

"If we calculate, it's likely that another two elders would be severely injured or tragically killed."

"In that case, our sect would lose four Spirit Forming Peak experts."

"You should know, we are still facing the ambitious threat from the Xiaoyao Sect outside. Do you wish for my Xuanjian Sect to be annihilated?"

Continuing his attack, Xu Jiayin unleashed his full offensive power, completely unconcerned, feeling only an immense satisfaction in his heart.

At the same time, he also placed a blame on Zhuge Zhengwo, making it impossible for the latter to refute, and even more aggrieved.

It made Zhuge Zhengwo feel that the Law Enforcement Peak's restraint on these elders seemed to be loosening even further now.

"Hmph!"

"Clever words and a glib tongue!"
