So then?
What exactly had happened?
To be honest, they were baffled too.
Of course, there had to have been things in the middle that they didn’t know about.
Another point was that the three elders had actually been threatened by Yue Ying?
And it had involved their very lives?
Since when was Yue Ying that impressive?
You had to know, the three elders were all established Innate Powerhouses.
Even Princess Consort Le, in terms of strength, wasn’t a match for any one of them.
After all, it hadn’t been long since she’d broken through.
As for later, who would be stronger or weaker, that was hard to say.
From her perspective, she was confident that if she was given one or two years, she would absolutely surpass the three elders’ strength.
Some people thought one or two years was very long.
They were absolutely wrong.
For someone in the Innate Realm, one or two years was extremely short.
After all, these three elders had been stuck in the Innate Realm for no less than forty years.
In other words, Princess Consort Le’s talent was extremely good.
She was also very clear that at this level, it was really hard for someone to pull a sneak attack on you unless their realm was much higher.
"Alright!" Elder Mei nodded.
Everyone saw the hand she was using to grab Yue Ying’s arm suddenly exert force, followed by a crisp crack.
Immediately, they saw Yue Ying’s arm completely break.
This wasn’t a dislocation.
It was one of the bones in her arm snapping into two pieces.
With an injury like that, even if she was a Peak Soldier King and the sect had plenty of good medicine.
They still wouldn’t be able to fully heal her arm.
About two or three seconds after it broke, Yue Ying finally reacted; that is to say, the searing pain finally reached her sensory nerves.
"Aaaahhh!"
Her miserable scream seemed to echo through the entirety of Leqing Sect.
No one said a word.
In front of the mountain gate, over a hundred people all fell completely silent in that moment, not daring to make a sound.
Even Yue Ying’s close followers were the same.
You had to remember, that was a sect elder.
An Innate-level expert.
If they targeted her, that was basically asking to die.
They weren’t blind!
Didn’t they see Elder Ying and Elder Shuang standing to the side, on high alert?
From their posture, if anyone made a move, they’d show absolutely no mercy and kill on the spot.
At this moment, Elder Mei didn’t stop.
Her other hand let go of Yue Ying’s neck and slapped down across her face.
The force of that slap made many people wonder if she’d kill her with a single blow or snap her neck or something.
Obviously, Elder Mei was controlling her strength.
What puzzled everyone was why Elder Mei wasn’t saying a single word.
It felt like she was just venting her anger.
What exactly had happened?
Elder Mei, at least say something!
After all, hitting the Sect Leader in the face in front of everyone—although most of them already felt she kind of deserved it.
They still needed a reason!
Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean elders could just slap the Sect Leader whenever they wanted in the future?
That really put a lot of people in an awkward spot!
The entire atmosphere became a bit subtle.
However, Elder Mei seemed not to notice at all and kept slapping, one blow after another.
Her strength didn’t take Yue Ying’s life, but it hurt her so much she almost lost herself.
Only after a solid dozen slaps did Elder Mei finally stop.
She took a deep breath and said, "Tell them yourself what you’ve done!"
"Otherwise, I’ll let you experience something worse than death!"
Then she glanced at Lin Xi again.
Lin Xi understood what she meant and signaled her to relax—nothing would happen to their bodies.
Only then did Elder Mei truly calm down.
"You old hag, you dare hit me?" Yue Ying’s mouth was full of blood, her speech a bit slurred.
From the looks of it, she hadn’t taken Elder Mei’s words seriously at all.
"You really think you’ve already won?"
"Heh."
"I say you’re all seeking death!"
She retreated a step and looked at all the disciples. "The three elders colluded with an outsider and murdered Master—are you really just going to stand there and watch?"
"Now she’s even trying to kill your Sect Leader, and you’re just going to let it happen?"
Elder Mei only let out a cold laugh. "You really don’t know when you’re dead."
The next instant, if anyone was paying attention, they would notice an abnormal gleam flicker in her eyes.
