Chapter 506: 503, Hua Zeyu, deceased! Outside the mountain.
Hundreds of Inner Courtyard disciples stood respectfully at a short distance, with Ji Liangping at the forefront, while many Elders and Stewards stood on either side, waiting for the arrival of Wen Ping.
As for Hua Zeyu, at this moment, she could only stand obediently with the others, though she kept her distance from Ji Liangping, her heart trembling whenever she accidentally glanced at him.
She was filled with regret.
Calculated everything, believed she had a sure-fire win, but ended in defeat—chose the wrong side!
She thought Ji Liangping had invited powerful help from a major force using some secret treasure she was unaware of.
Who’d have thought that the one arriving would be the Sect Leader of the Immortal Sect.
What terrified her even more was that the Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader had already caused so many experts from Dragon God Sect to perish in order to avenge Shi Hua.
"No wonder, Ji Liangping said Dragon God Sect wouldn’t dare face Immortal Sect directly, hence they resorted to underhanded tactics..." After a whisper of near despair, she bowed her head.
An East Lake Sect.
So terrifying!
If Ji Liangping exposed her actions of forcing Shi Hua into the Qu Realm, she’d probably be done for!
On the other side, Yang Xibi knelt on the ground, his eyes fixed on the mountain’s entrance, aware that Wen Ping’s appearance was an ill omen.
If it were another influence, even stronger than Dragon God Sect, there would still be room for negotiation at least, for Dragon God Sect’s sake, sacrifices could ensure survival.
But Immortal Sect was different.
They would definitely kill him.
Because Wen Ping, as a Sect Leader, wielded the power to kill in the Mountain Suppression Realm, yet personally came to Celestial Academy because of a woman in the Body Refining Realm.
"What to do?"
Yang Xibi wanted to run but knew he couldn’t escape.
That woman was in the Upper Realm.
The moment he made a move, she’d definitely chase after him, the chance of escape was almost zero.
"He’s coming out!"
Upon seeing the youthful figure emerge from the mountain entrance, he recalled the scene when he first saw Wen Ping in Cloud Sea City.
Who would’ve thought that upon meeting again, he would be kneeling before Wen Ping.
Life and death were no longer in his hands.
Suddenly, a voice like thunder rose to the skies.
"Welcome Sect Leader Wen!"
"Welcome Sect Leader Wen!"
Led by Ji Liangping, hundreds clasped their fists in salute.
With his hands behind his back, Wen Ping didn’t spare them a glance, simply headed towards Yang Xibi with Long Ke, his brows exuding a thick killing intent, so potent it chilled even the Inner Courtyard disciples standing at a distance.
When he reached within dozens of steps from Yang Xibi, Wen Ping suddenly halted, coldly asking, "Shi Hua is my friend, but she’s only in the Body Refining Realm, was it fun treating a Body Refining Realm this way?"
Yang Xibi understood what Wen Ping meant.
But he didn’t think his methods were wrong.
Survival of the fittest, the rule of survival.
As long as the goal is achieved, methods, whether light or dark, are justified.
Yet to survive, he could only say, "Sect Leader Wen, I was just following orders."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ping chuckled lightly and remarked, "Do you believe that yourself?"
With that, Yang Xibi fell silent.
But as he remained silent, the Inner Courtyard disciples were stunned.
Hundreds of them glanced at each other.
Finally, they understood why the Dean had been providing Shi Hua with so many resources, even letting a Body Refining Realm individual enter the Purification Pool.
Shi Hua had such a friend, even Four-star Influences treated him with the highest respect, let alone their mere Three-star Influence?
At this time, having been silent for a long time, Yang Xibi spoke again, glanced at the woman behind Wen Ping, and quickly said, "Sect Leader Wen, Shi Hua’s death isn’t actually my fault. I was merely ordered to take Shi Hua away, with no intention of harming her. It was she who volunteered to find Shi Hua, and she drove Shi Hua into the Qu Realm, it’s entirely not my fault. We can talk, and my death offers you no benefit, the dead can’t revive, but if you spare me, I can give you a lot..."
Saying that, Yang Xibi pointed at Hua Zeyu.
Being pointed at, Hua Zeyu turned weak with fear.
The worst she feared had come.
Never did she expect that Yang Xibi would be the one to expose everything.
A Mountain Suppression Realm expert, cravenly fearing death enough to place all blame on her!
Thud!
Hua Zeyu trembled and knelt on the ground.
