63: Confinement at the Cliff of Repentance
Lin Ye had long since realized that Jiang Yunmei was a Soul Transformation Cultivator, so he felt not the slightest panic at this moment.
The golden light on his body grew brighter and brighter, and in the mysterious depths of heaven and earth, the Buddha's Voice of an Ancient Buddha began to resound!
Unlike the solemn and majestic scriptures of the Buddhist Sect, these scriptures were filled with an eerie quality. When the ordinary Disciples nearby heard them, they felt as if cracks were appearing in their Divine Soul.
Moreover, that Buddha's Voice seemed to carry a hint of bewitchment, causing them to unexpectedly feel a murderous intent toward their fellow Sect brothers and sisters.
Gong Xiang and Nangong Qian, who were not far away, also heard this Buddha's Voice. Their brows were tightly furrowed.
"I have never heard such an eerie Buddha's Voice. What exactly is going on with this Lin Ye?"
"..."
Nangong Qian shook his head; clearly, he did not understand this Buddha's Voice either.
However, if a Buddha's Voice could bewitch people's hearts and carry murderous intent, it went without saying that it must be an Evil Buddha.
This Lin Ye exuded an aura of evil from beginning to end.
Their own Revered Master even said that in order not to let Lin Ye notice, everyone had to claim to be Cultivators of the Righteous Path?
Does that Lin Ye look like a Cultivator of the Righteous Path!
At this point, let alone him having eaten people, I would believe you if you said he ate several children in one sitting!
The others were all like this, not to mention Jiang Yunmei, who was facing Lin Ye head-on. She felt as if her head was splitting, as if a voice was constantly bewitching her within her Divine Soul.
Telling her to kill everyone around her.
This feeling was truly too eerie.
But the battle was not yet over, and the urgent priority was to slaughter the Lin Ye before her!!!
Hmm?! Just as this thought emerged, Jiang Yunmei was stunned. She only wanted to teach Lin Ye a lesson, but she had never intended to kill him.
Not to mention that Lin Ye was a Holy Son Candidate, even setting that identity aside, he was still her fellow Disciple. Why would she have the thought of slaughtering him!
Just as Jiang Yunmei was stunned, Lin Ye struck out with a palm. Boom!!!
The golden light was dazzling, and accompanied by bursts of Buddha's Voice, a giant palm struck fiercely toward Jiang Yunmei. This was a peerless Buddhist Cultivation Technique, the Great Handprint.
"Yunmei, watch out!" Seeing that Jiang Yunmei was stunned, Nangong Qian could no longer care about rules. He lunged forward, intending to block Lin Ye's attack.
Hum... At this moment, wisps of Dao Rhyme drifted down from the sky.
A figure appeared before everyone. The person slowly raised their hand, and in an instant, whether it was the Buddha's Voice heard between heaven and earth or that Great Handprint, everything dissipated like bubbles.
Immediately after, the Dao Rhyme dissipated, revealing the person's true face. He was an old man wearing the robes of the "Righteous Qi Sect". In every gesture, he seemed to embody the will of heaven and earth, which showed just how high his cultivation was.
Upon seeing the old man appear, all the Disciples bowed. "Elder Feng..."
Lin Ye also bowed, because when he had joined the Righteous Qi Sect, he had seen Elder Feng himself in the Sect Master's hall, so he naturally knew that he was an Elder of the Sect.
Jiang Yunmei's pretty face stiffened. She hadn't expected that while she was using some petty schemes, an Elder would appear. Wasn't she caught red-handed?!
Nangong Qian and Gong Xiang were also somewhat nervous. It was true that they held a lofty status among their fellow Disciples, but to an Elder, that meant nothing.
After all, an Elder of a Sect was equivalent to an Elder, and betraying one's Revered Master and ancestors was an absolute taboo everywhere.
Therefore, when facing an Elder, even a Sequence Disciple had to bow their head, let alone a core Elder like Elder Feng.
Only after becoming a Saint would one have the same status as an Elder. This was why the Sequence Disciples were very concerned about the matter of the Saint.
Once one became a Saint, the resources of the entire Sect would tilt toward them. It was originally a competition among ten people, and now that someone had suddenly been parachuted in, they naturally had some objections.
At this time, Elder Feng spoke, his tone full of majesty: "Who can tell me what happened here?! Why did I see you all attacking each other in front of the Trial Great Hall!"
Elder Feng's voice resounded all around. The ordinary Disciples were trembling, but they dared not stand up and tell the truth. If they offended a Sequence Disciple, how would they live their lives in the future?
Just at this moment, Jiang Yunmei revealed a strained smile: "Th-that, Elder Feng, I was sparring with Junior Brother Lin. After all, Junior Brother Lin is a young Prodigy, and I was eager to test my skills, so I inadvertently broke the Sect's rules." "I am willing to accept punishment."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Lin Ye glanced at Jiang Yunmei in confusion, then looked at Elder Feng.
"Reporting to Elder, Senior Sister was merely trying to help me enter the Trial Great Hall smoothly, so she tested my strength. I ask that Elder not blame her."
"Oh?" Elder Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Yunmei. He was not an idiot; he naturally understood the meaning behind what Lin Ye said.
"Damn it!" Jiang Yunmei bared her little fangs and glared fiercely at Lin Ye. You brat! I thought you were an honest person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but it turns out you're a snitch! Once I, your lady, finish my punishment and come out, I will definitely make you regret this.
Lin Ye, however, had no idea why Jiang Yunmei was hostile toward him. Could it be that the Son of Destiny's Physique of attracting hatred was showing its effect? Otherwise, why would you look at me so viciously, as if you had eaten shit, when I was clearly pleading for you?
"Since that is the case, Jiang Yunmei, I sentence you to seven days of confinement at the Cliff of Reflection. Do you have any objections?" "I... this Disciple has none!"
Jiang Yunmei was about to bite her back teeth to pieces. But she could not possibly disobey the Elder's command, especially since she was in the wrong first.
"Hmm, go yourself. You are not allowed to come out until seven days have passed!" "Yes..."
Jiang Yunmei pouted and turned to leave. Seeing this, Gong Xiang and Nangong Qian intended to leave, as they were also accomplices just now. If they didn't leave now, when would they?
However, Elder Feng instantly appeared in front of the two, looking at them with a smile.
"Hehe..." Gong Xiang scratched his head, pretending to look innocent: "Elder Feng, I wonder if you have any business with this Disciple? If..."
"Gong Xiang..." Before he could finish, Elder Feng interrupted him: "Do you intend to go to the Cliff of Reflection yourself, or shall I break your legs and carry you in?"
"Ah?!" Gong Xiang made a mournful face. He didn't expect that he still couldn't escape! He had planned to sneak away, but was still caught?! If he went to a place like the Cliff of Reflection with broken legs, he would definitely lose a layer of skin by the time he came out.
Beside him, Nangong Qian pulled Gong Xiang and immediately walked toward the direction of the Cliff of Reflection. Only then did Elder Feng nod in satisfaction. After resolving the matter with the Sequence Disciples, Elder Feng dismissed the surrounding Disciples and immediately came to Lin Ye's side.
