136: Chapter 136 The Tough Flower Lady

Gold Core Elder Liu Huan's gaze followed Inner Sect Elder Han Song's line of sight, landing on the Iron-Backed Bear King and the Rift-Wind Wolf King, the chill in her cloudy old eyes growing increasingly intense.

"Are you saying that Bixia was killed by them?"

Inner Sect Elder Han Song lowered his head, not daring to meet Gold Core Elder Liu Huan's eyes, his voice becoming lower and lower: "This Junior does not dare to jump to conclusions, but those two Yao Race kings were trapped within Fellow Daoist Bixia's Formation; logically speaking, they should have had no power to resist."

"Yet they came out, while Fellow Daoist Bixia… This Junior suspects that another member of the Yao Race must have intervened to assist them."

After finishing, Inner Sect Elder Han Song retreated two steps, keeping his head down, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Gold Core Elder Liu Huan shifted her gaze from the Iron-Backed Bear King to the Rift-Wind Wolf King.

"Yao Race, you have a lot of nerve!"

Regarding this.

Wu Li's small eyes darted around, and his figure flashed, flying in front of the gathered Yao Race. His blood-red pupils fixed on him, his tone carrying irrepressible anger.

"Inner Sect Elder Han Song, you have no integrity! You want to burn bridges after crossing!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Iron-Backed Bear King and the Rift-Wind Wolf King immediately understood.

"Inner Sect Elder Han Song, on the surface, it was your Xuanyi Sect cooperating with us, the Yao Race, to annihilate Bixia and the Heavenly Sword Sect so you could monopolize the Secret Realm."

"Now, what is the meaning of your words?"

The Rift-Wind Wolf King licked his lips, a fierce glint flashing in his dark green eyes, "Exactly. It was agreed upon from the beginning that we would join forces to wipe out the other Sects and split the contents of the Secret Realm equally."

"Now that your Xuanyi Sect has taken all the good things, you want to pin the blame on us?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Human Race side instantly erupted.

A Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect couldn't help but speak up, their voice hoarse and trembling: "Elder Han, you… your Xuanyi Sect actually collaborated with the Yao Race?"

"No wonder the Yao Race showed up right after you all left!"

"That's right, although Granny also died at the hands of the Yao Race, but… Elder Han and his group had appeared there previously."

That young female cultivator from the Luoxia Sect also spoke up.

Under these circumstances.

Although the Disciples of the Qingyun Sect did not speak, they all glared unkindly at the people from the Xuanyi Sect.

Inner Sect Elder Han Song's face instantly turned deathly pale.

"You're spouting nonsense!"

"You are framing me!"

"What do you mean framing you!"

Li Tai also added at this moment, "When our three Sects first arrived, we were attacked by the Yao Race, yet your Xuanyi Sect people were right at the foot of the mountain, and the Yao Race didn't lay a finger on you! How do you explain that!"

After Li Tai finished speaking.

The Xuanyi Sect Disciples around Inner Sect Elder Han Song also panicked.

Gold Core Elder Liu Huan's expression darkened, her cloudy old eyes staring at Inner Sect Elder Han Song.

"Inner Sect Elder Han Song, is this true?"

Gold Core Elder Zhou Yuanshan also stared at Inner Sect Elder Han Song, his Golden Core Second Turn aura surging out like a tide, pressing down on Inner Sect Elder Han Song's spine until it bent inch by inch. His hand rested on his sword hilt, his voice as cold as shards of ice.

"Inner Sect Elder Han Song, you had better give me an explanation."

Inner Sect Elder Han Song's legs were trembling, his lips were trembling, and even his voice was trembling.

"Hmph!"

Grand Elder Xuanfengzi let out a cold snort, releasing his Golden Core cultivation without reservation to neutralize the pressure.

Leaning on the xuantian mirror, his hawk-like eyes swept over the crowd, his voice as cold as shards of ice.

"Explain what? You all believe the Yao Race after just a few words from them?"

His gaze landed on Gold Core Elder Liu Huan, then shifted away to land on Gold Core Elder Zhou Yuanshan, his voice cold and hard as iron: "Your Bixia Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect people died—that is your own misfortune. Can you not see that the Yao Race is sowing discord between you?"

"Boom~"

Just at this moment.

Another golden light flew in from the distance, its speed astonishingly fast, landing in the open space of the Mass Grave in the blink of an eye.

The golden light dissipated to reveal an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a cyan Dharma robe embroidered with a cloud at the hem. It was the Golden Core Elder of the Qingyun Sect, named Meng Yang.

His gaze swept across the chaotic scene, his brows slightly furrowed. His voice was low and steady, as if he were speaking of something inconsequential: "Everyone, the Qingyun Sect will not interfere in your grievances."

"Li Tai, take our people and leave."

Li Tai quickly cupped his hands in a salute, his voice respectful: "Yes, Elder Meng."

He turned around, waved his hand, and led the Qingyun Sect Disciples away from the Mass Grave.

The Qingyun Sect Disciples, as if granted amnesty, quickly followed behind Li Tai, their footsteps light, and soon disappeared into the night.

Gold Core Elder Liu Huan's gaze shifted from Grand Elder Xuanfengzi to the Iron-Backed Bear King and the Rift-Wind Wolf King, the chill in her cloudy old eyes growing increasingly intense.

"Regardless, it was you Yao Race who killed the people of my Sect. You must give me an explanation, otherwise…"

"Slap!"

A crisp sound.

Exploded in the deathly silent Mass Grave, like a clap of thunder.

Before everyone could react, Gold Core Elder Liu Huan's body had already flown out, rolling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Her face was swollen high, a trace of fresh blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. Her cloudy old eyes were filled with disbelief as she stared blankly in the direction of Lady Hua.

"Hmph!"

Lady Hua had appeared at the spot where Gold Core Elder Liu Huan had just been standing, her right hand still held in the position of having just struck out. Her pale green long dress fluttered slightly in the night wind. There was no expression on her face, only a condescending indifference.

Lady Hua slowly retracted her hand, her gaze landing on Gold Core Elder Liu Huan, who was sprawled on the ground, "You wanted an explanation; this is the explanation."

A deathly silence descended upon the Mass Grave.

Everyone's gaze fell upon Lady Hua, and Gold Core Elder Zhou Yuanshan's expression changed repeatedly.

He thought to himself that something was wrong.

'This Yao woman has such powerful cultivation… I cannot detect even a trace of it…'

His hand pressed against his sword hilt, his knuckles turning white, but he did not draw his sword.

Grand Elder Xuanfengzi leaned on the xuantian mirror, his hawk-like eyes staring at Lady Hua, his expression terrifyingly dark, but he did not speak either.

No one present was a fool.

If they had been the ones to receive that blow just now, if Lady Hua had wanted to kill them…

The consequences would be unimaginable…

The Iron-Backed Bear King patted his belly, a flash of satisfaction in his bronze bell-sized eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Lady Hua struck well."

"Lady Hua is invincible! Kill these bastards!!!"

The Rift-Wind Wolf King licked his lips, a fierce glint flashing in his dark green eyes, and though he did not speak, he also felt a sudden sense of gratification in his heart.

Wu Li crouched on a giant rock, his blood-red pupils watching this scene, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned as he revealed a cold sneer.

Grand Elder Xuanfengzi leaned on the xuantian mirror, "Lady Hua, what is the meaning of this?"

Lady Hua turned her head to look at Grand Elder Xuanfengzi, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned in a faint smile, her voice cold and languid: "It means nothing; I just felt she was too noisy."

"Besides, didn't she just say she wanted an explanation? Well, this is the explanation!"

"Now, I will give you one more path: either get lost!"

"Or…"

"All of you stay here forever!"

As Lady Hua finished speaking, Gold Core Elder Zhou Yuanshan spoke in a deep voice, his hand pressing on his sword hilt, releasing his Golden Core Second Turn aura without reservation, colliding with Lady Hua's killing intent and creating a sizzling sound.
