Chapter 18: Xiao Lian's Righteous Speech, Gu Daozi's Arrival at Saintess Peak!

On Saintess Peak, by the mountain-top Celestial Pool, Ye Chen accompanied Nan Gong Qiyue, admiring the Celestial Pool's snow lotus with her.

Xiao Lian followed closely behind them, never leaving their side, staring intently at Ye Chen's back, wary of him.

"Junior Brother Ye, you seem a bit distracted. Is it because of Junior Sister Su and the others?"

Nan Gong Qiyue noticed Ye Chen's distraction and asked softly.

However, when she mentioned Su Youwei and the others, her expression also turned sour. She hadn't expected Gu Shengge to be so despicable; not only did he kill fellow Disciples, but he also desecrated the remains of the two Junior Sisters. He was worse than a beast!

She had truly been blind to have ever liked Gu Shengge!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't miss any opportunity to slander Gu Shengge.

He sighed, "Alas~ I originally thought Senior Brother Gu was only angry that I occupied his Immortal Cave, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel. Not only did he kill Senior Sister Su and Senior Sister Lin, but he also refined their corpses into human puppets. To scare me, he even threw them into my Immortal Cave. Senior Brother Gu went too far!"

However, as soon as Ye Chen finished slandering, Xiao Lian couldn't hold back and cursed in a sweet voice, "You, surnamed Ye, are spouting nonsense! Gu Daozi is not that kind of person!"

Xiao Lian refused to believe that Gu Daozi would do such beastly things. It was obvious that Ye Chen was framing Gu Daozi!

Ye Chen, seeing Xiao Lian refute him, felt displeased and cursed inwardly.

Damn it! This little b*tch, just you wait. Once I've conquered Nan Gong Qiyue, I'll have her expel you from Saintess Peak. Then I'll definitely torture you severely!

At the same time, Ye Chen didn't forget to project his inner thoughts to Nan Gong Qiyue.

Why does Xiao Lian have such malice towards me? Could it be that she discovered that I found out about her secretly relaying messages to Senior Brother Gu? Alas, the Heavenly Book said that it was because of Xiao Lian's betrayal that Senior Sister Qiyue's escape failed, and she was ultimately sacrificed to an evil god by Senior Brother Gu!

Hmm! Nan Gong Qiyue listened, then suddenly turned back to look at Xiao Lian, her pretty face showing surprise.

Xiao Lian would betray her? Impossible!

If it were someone else betraying her, Nan Gong Qiyue might believe it, but how could Xiao Lian betray her? They were sisters who had grown up together since childhood!

When they were still Mortals, Xiao Lian's mother was Nan Gong Qiyue's wet nurse. They grew up drinking the same milk, and their relationship was extremely close. Even after growing up, they still slept together, unwilling to be separated.

Originally, Xiao Lian's Aptitude for Cultivation was not enough, but Nan Gong Qiyue couldn't bear to be separated, so she brought her to the Qiankun Taoist Sect, taking care of her daily life and even sharing Spirit Stone resources with her.

By all accounts, Xiao Lian shouldn't betray her!

But then she thought about what the Heavenly Book said, and Nan Gong Qiyue hesitated again.

During this time, she had learned many things from Ye Chen's inner thoughts and also gained many opportunities through the Heavenly Book, making her increasingly believe what the Heavenly Book said.

Xiao Lian, seeing her Saintess look over, her Aura instantly diminished a lot, but she still righteously retorted Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, since you say Gu Daozi refined the two Senior Sisters from Qingxuan Peak into human puppets, where is the evidence? Or do you just need your two lips to move to casually convict Gu Daozi? What's the use of the Hall of Punishment and the Law Enforcement Elders then!"

Being rebuked by Xiao Lian like this, Ye Chen immediately feigned innocence, biting his lip and acting like a delicate woman.

"Senior Sister Qiyue, please control Xiao Lian! I didn't mean to slander Senior Brother Gu, it's just, it's just..."

"Xiao Lian, have I spoiled you too much?! How dare you speak like that, now be quiet!"

Nan Gong Qiyue's expression instantly darkened, and she sternly rebuked, forcefully making Xiao Lian shut up.

Xiao Lian bit her silver teeth lightly, no longer speaking, but still glaring hatefully at Ye Chen.

Damn it! This glib-tongued, ill-intentioned, shameless scoundrel!

Ye Chen maintained his innocent appearance while casting a provocative look at Xiao Lian.

Little b*tch, you still want to fight me? I just used a small trick, and your Saintess fell for it. Let's see how I play you to death!

Just as Ye Chen was about to press his advantage and continue to use his inner thoughts to bewitch Nan Gong Qiyue, a terrifying pressure, as heavy as Mount Tai, descended from the sky, suppressing Saintess Peak.

Swish!!

Saintess Peak rippled with an energy fluctuation. Fortunately, the peak-protecting grand formation activated in time, enveloping the entire Saintess Peak and resisting this overwhelming pressure.

Nan Gong Qiyue and the others looked up at the sky. A red-robed figure stood above the azure sky, silver lightning like cascading waterfalls coiled around his body, and a destructive Aura permeated the air, as if a supreme Thunder Emperor had descended upon the world, looking down upon all beings!

"Nan Gong Qiyue, hand over Ye Chen to this Lord!"

A voice filled with anger echoed between heaven and earth, resounding throughout the Qiankun Taoist Sect. Countless Disciples and Elders were startled, instinctively releasing their Divine Sense, wanting to see what was happening.

Ye Chen, seeing Gu Shengge arrive, secretly rejoiced in his heart. It seemed that Wu Xuanyi was in grave danger.

In fact, he had deliberately instigated Wu Xuanyi to seek trouble with Gu Shengge, making Wu Xuanyi provoke him and then be killed by Gu Shengge.

This way, he could report to the Hall of Punishment, saying that Gu Shengge had killed a fellow Senior Sister. At that time, even if Gu Shengge was a Daozi, he would certainly not escape punishment. It would be best if his Cultivation could be directly abolished and he be expelled from the Qiankun Taoist Sect!

The only thing Ye Chen regretted was that he hadn't yet tasted Wu Xuanyi's flavor.

Gu Shengge looked down at the three people by the Celestial Pool, his gaze sweeping past Nan Gong Qiyue and landing on Ye Chen.

His heavy pupils flickered with faint light, and he could tell at a glance that this guy was secretly rejoicing. As for what he was happy about, Gu Shengge could guess without much thought.

Nan Gong Qiyue hadn't expected Gu Shengge to suddenly attack. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ye Chen eagerly jump out.

"Senior Brother Gu, where is Senior Sister Wu? I remember Senior Sister Wu went to ask you about the cause of Senior Sister Su and the others' deaths. Why isn't she with you? Did you kill Senior Sister Wu?! Killing a fellow Senior Sister is a serious crime! Senior Brother Gu is so cruel, why don't you surrender and await the punishment from the Hall of Punishment!"

With just two movements of his lips, Ye Chen tried to convict Gu Shengge.

The Divine Sense of those watching the show around them were all stunned, and the same thought popped into their minds.

This Ye Chen must be an idiot! He actually wants to convict a Daozi.

Leaving aside the fact that Gu Daozi is already a Nascent Soul True Lord, even if he were just a Daozi, he could exercise some of the Sect Master's authority to punish erring Disciples, which would be no problem.

Gu Shengge frowned slightly. This Ye Chen was still barking even when death was imminent.

"Is this your last word? After killing you, this Lord will explain clearly to the Hall of Punishment, so you don't need to worry about it."

After saying that, Gu Shengge no longer waited for Nan Gong Qiyue to voluntarily hand over Ye Chen.

He raised his hand, drawing the power of the four directions of heaven and earth, transforming it into endless lightning, and condensing a silver lightning hand that blotted out the sky, crushing towards Saintess Peak!

"What?!"

Feeling the power of the silver lightning hand, Nan Gong Qiyue's pretty face showed shock. She hadn't expected Gu Shengge to attack without a word, and within the Sect at that!

Without time to think, she immediately formed a hand seal, manipulating the peak-protecting grand formation, attempting to resist Gu Shengge's attack, while also not forgetting to instruct Ye Chen:

"Junior Brother Ye, there's a teleportation array in the Purple Spirit Palace that leads outside the Sect. Gu Shengge is coming aggressively this time, he must want your life. Don't worry about me, run!"

The Purple Spirit Palace's teleportation array was built for Nan Gong Qiyue's convenience to visit the Mortal world, and now it had become Ye Chen's escape opportunity.
