Chapter 133 - Pushing His Soul Out, He Knelt on the Jiuyang Grand Hall’s Floor

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the Jiuyang Grand Hall.

Other than Gu Hai and Yin Yue, the rest of the First Seats were here.

The head disciples of each peak, such as Ximen Guanhai and a few Elders, were present as well.

Hui Xin returned to his room to rest.

“Guys!” Guo Xiao, the First Seat of Haoyang Peak, got up from his seat and walked to the hall’s center. He glanced around and said, “Sect Master, our Nine Suns Sect has been established for thousands of years and has always been lawful and fair, which has allowed the sect to thrive and flourish and be

passed down to this day. I’m not wrong, right?”

Yan Yan knew what he was talking about, so he nodded and replied, “Of course!”

“That’s great, then!” Guo Xiao continued, “Tian Dafeng is my head disciple. In other words, he’s the Vice First Seat. However, he was killed by Zi Linglong at Chuyang Peak today, so what are you going to do about her, Sect Master?”

Yue Cheng, the First Seat of Zhiyang Peak, lowered his head so that he wouldn’t attract too much attention.

He was scared out of his wits when he heard the Yinmo Sect was annihilated by someone overnight. However, he also felt relieved. After all, he could finally become a good person after this as nobody would know he was a spy from the Yinmo Sect. He did not have to do something against his conscience.

Since that day, he became even more easy-going, and he stayed away from all fights.

If it were in the past, he would certainly poke his nose into something like this, but right now, he just wanted to stay away from all trouble.

Dongfang Lie stood up and commented, “Although I despise Gu Hai, Linglong indeed is a talented young girl. Not only did she defeat all of the geniuses from Zhong Province and the Eastern Region, but even the legendary Senior Brother of the Tianyuan School was no match for her. She truly holds a lot of

potential!”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “When the Bishui Sect attacked us, Zi Linglong was the one who rushed to the front and defeated most of the strongest martial artists. She killed even the Primal Spirit martial artist and their Sect Master. After that, she entered the God of Thunders Immortal

Treasures and came across a great opportunity. Who knows how strong she has become now? I can say for certain that she’s the powerhouse of the Jiuyang Sect. Without her, we would be gone in a few seconds!

“Besides, judging from her behavior,” Dongfang Lie moved on. He truly admired Zi Linglong a lot, even if she had insulted him in the past. “Other than Jiaoyang Peak, she rarely goes to other places and rarely fights with other people.

“Do you all understand what I’m saying now?

“She just wants to stay at her own place, mind her own business, and cultivate.

“As for why she would kill Tian Dafeng today…” He looked toward Ximen Guanhai. “Why did you guys go to Chuyang Peak today? And what happened there? In any case, I don’t believe that Zi Linglong would kill Tian Dafeng without any reason. That’s all from me.”

He sat down after he had finished speaking.

If Jiang Ming were here, he would certainly give him a thumbs up. After all, despite what Zi Linglong had done to him, he did not take it to heart and focused on the bigger picture. He did not accuse her of killing Tian Dafeng mindlessly. He brought up her talent, how she saved everyone in the sect, and

how she rarely left Chuyang Peak. A gentle and low profile person like her would never let her anger get her best and kill someone without any reason.

The rest of the First Seats nodded.

Guo Xiao’s face was dark. He looked at Ximen Guanhai and said, “Tell us the whole story.”

Ximen Guanhai bowed to the crowd even though he did not have to do it at his current cultivation level, “Today, the head disciple of the Fo Sect, Hui Xin, paid us a visit, so 1 invited all of my peers to welcome him. However, the people from Chuyang Peak refused to show up. Hui Xin said that he wished to

meet with Junior Sister Linglong because he had heard much about her. Therefore, I brought them to Chuyang Peak. However, Jiang Ming and Zi Linglong refused to come out and welcome us. Junior Brother Tian couldn’t stand their behavior, and he reprimanded them. Who knew Zi Linglong sent him

flying with a palm strike, and then she killed him!”

He just ran them through the whole story, but he did not tell them a lot of things.

Meanwhile, Zi Linglong appeared.

“Sect Master, Elders, and Martial Uncles, Zi Linglong has come to see you,” she greeted as she bowed to them.

After that, she waved her hand, and a mirror made of water appeared. Everything that happened since Tian Dafeng and the others descended to Chuyang Peak appeared on it.

Ximen Guanhai frowned.

“Fascinating! Linglong, when have you mastered such a special ability?” Dongfang Lie exclaimed.

Everyone watched and listened to everything that happened in the mirror. Very soon, the mirror disappeared.

“Sect Master, I’ll be leaving now!” Zi Linglong turned around and left.

“Hold it right there!” Guo Xiao shouted.

“Is there anything else?” Zi Linglong turned around, her face bereft of emotion.

“Even though Tian Dafeng was at fault for throwing impertinent remarks at you, you should never take it upon yourself and kill him! However, you ignored the sect’s rules and killed him!” Guo Xiao then looked at Yan Yan and continued, “Are you not going to do something about it, Sect Master? If you

don’t do anything about it, what’s the point of having rules? How are you going to manage the sect, and how are you going to make everyone listen to you?”

“You’re right, Martial Uncle Guo,” Ximen Guanhai added, “One should be rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for crimes, and this is the truth of the longevity of the sect.”

The Sect Master looked intently at Ximen Guanhai and fell into silence.

“Alright then. In that case,” Zi Linglong tured around to look at Ximen Guanhai and smiled at him, “What makes you think that you can stand here, Ximen Guanhai?”

“What? That’s because I’m the head disciple of Taiyang Peak!” Ximen Guanhai replied. However, there was a bad feeling rising up from his stomach pit.

The rest of the people looked at Zi Linglong in confusion. They also understood that she wouldn’t be punished gravely today.

“Hah,” Zi Linglong scoffed, “You all saw it with your eyes just now, right? Tian Dafeng had already quieted down after being intimidated by me, but why would his behavior suddenly change toward the end? Don’t you think it’s weird? I didn’t think too much about it at that time, but I felt something wasn’t

right afterward, so I looked into it. Do you know what I have found?

“Ximen Guanhai, do you want to say it, or do you want me to help you to say it?” Zi Linglong said.

“Are you implying that I was the one who caused the sudden behavior change in Junior Brother Tian?” Ximen Guanhai shook his head and laughed, “The reason he would act erratically is because of you. You pissed him off, and he felt humiliated. He got the best of his anger, and that’s why he did that.

Besides, did he say anything wrong? He just said that he was going to report to the Sect Master, but you killed him directly. Do you really think no one can bring you to justice because you’re powerful?”

“This is such a waste of time!” Zi Linglong waved her sleeve and said, “Sect Master, he has been mind-controlled!”

“What?” The Sect Master shot up from his seat.

The rest of the people were shocked as well. As for Ximen Guanhai, he was startled at first. Then his eyes glowed, and he tossed his head back in a burst of boisterous laughter. “I have been mind-controlled? This is the funniest thing I’ve heard! Zi Linglong, even if you want to shift all the blame to me, you

should pick a better reason. I’m a Nascent Soul martial artist, and who can control my mind? Besides, do I look like I’m being controlled?”

“Simple. Just let the Sect Master examine your soul,” Zi Linglong said.

Ximen Guanhai shook his head, “Everyone has their own secret, and so do I. Even if I’m the Sect Master’s disciple, there’s no way I would let him look into my soul. However, if you let other people examine your soul, I would do the same too.”

“That’s a good reason. Unfortunately, it has no use for me!” Zi Linglong harrumphed coldly. Suddenly, multi-colored lights shot out from her back, formed into a grinding disc, and fell on top of Ximen Guanhai.

“How dare you do this to me in front of so many people! Let go of me!” Ximen Guanhai shouted angrily. He tried to break himself free, but he found that he could barely move.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The light of five elements sealed Ximen Guanhai’s movement and his mana.

“How dare you, Zi Linglong! Are you trying to kill one of your own in the great hall?” Guo Xiao shouted. Just when he was about to dash forward, Dongfang Lie stopped him and said, “She didn’t kill him. Let’s see what she’s doing first.”

“Junior Brother Guo, calm down!” The First Seat of Laoyang Peak said.

In the next second, everyone sucked in a breath sharply.

Zi Linglong delivered a palm strike at Ximen Guanhai and pushed his soul out.

The soul was protected in a case after one had formed the Primal Spirit from the Nascent Soul.

Everyone was shocked at what Zi Linglong was capable of doing. Then, they saw there was a cage made of runes around Ximen Guanhai’s soul.

In the next second, those runes burst into flame.

Ahhh!

Ximen Guanhai shouted in pain, and then his soul dissipated.

‘When one soul dissipated, he died. When everyone came back to their senses, they found that Ximen was dead.

“D*mn it!” Zi Linglong frowned. “Sect Master, this is a defensive measure. Once discovered, it self-destructs, and I cannot save him.”

“Don’t worry. You’ve already done a good job,” the Sect Master said.

It went without saying that he knew it was not Zi Linglong who did that to Ximen Guanhai but other people who were far more powerful.

“Who is so evil as to do this to my disciple?” He asked.

Regardless of everything that happened, Ximen Guanhai was his favorite disciple, so he was furious that he was killed.

At the same time, he was worried as well. After all, just how powerful was the person who could control his disciple?

“Sect Master, there’s one more thing!” Zi Linglong smiled and looked at Ziyang Peak’s First Seat.

Yue Cheng’s heart leaped into his throat, and his face tumed pale.

Plop!

He fell to the floor on his knees…
