124: All got scammed

Looking at the two who had finally appeared, Xiao Lei said coldly, "You two certainly have a lot of official prestige. What? Are you waiting for me to destroy the Flower Sect before you two come out?"

Hearing this, the Two Flower Sect Immortals' expressions both sank. Then, Hua Ze was the first to speak, explaining, "Pavilion Master Xiao, today's matter is all a misunderstanding. We will investigate the matter of Hua Yu ourselves. Pavilion Master Xiao can take Yun Yun and leave on his own."

Upon hearing that the Two Flower Sect Immortals wanted to handle the matter simply and directly, Nalan Yanran was the first to disagree.

She and Yun Yun had intended to return Hua Yu's Relics, but the Flower Sect had accused them of plotting against Hua Yu and trying to seize the position of Flower Sect Sect Master.

Now, without anything being clarified and without an apology to them, they were simply expected to leave. If the world found out, wouldn't it be thought that her Master and Disciple had failed in their conspiracy and then brought Xiao Lei to suppress the Flower Sect with power, forcing it to bow its head?

What would her Master and Disciple become then?

"Master Xiao, you must make the Flower Sect explain things clearly and clear Master's name!"

Nalan Yanran quickly shouted to Xiao Lei, drawing a sinister look from Hua Jiner, who was hiding in the crowd.

However, Nalan Yanran, with Xiao Lei backing her, was not afraid of the other party and immediately glared back.

Yun Yun, however, pulled Nalan Yanran at the first opportunity, signaling her not to speak further.

"Everything awaits Master Xiao's decision."

It wasn't that Yun Yun wanted to be a good person and let the Flower Sect off. She wouldn't contradict Xiao Lei when he was seeking justice for her. It was just that now that Xiao Lei had arrived, all decisions would be made by him.

Yun Yun believed that Xiao Lei would certainly seek justice for her.

"I'm asking you two why you were hiding in the secret chamber earlier and didn't appear. What? Is it that all of you in the Flower Sect are a bunch of things that can't see the light of day?"

Xiao Lei's expression hardened, and a vast Qi erupted, immediately forcing the Two Flower Sect Immortals to retreat several steps.

"You!"

Hearing Xiao Lei casually mock the Flower Sect, everyone, including the Two Flower Sect Immortals, felt indignant in their hearts, yet dared not speak out in refutation.

Hua Ze, instead, could only explain with a pleasant expression, "We two Cultivate in seclusion year-round. We only sensed Pavilion Master Xiao's powerful Qi just now and came out. That's why there was a slight delay, causing Pavilion Master Xiao to misunderstand."

Xiao Lei still maintained that angry and gloomy expression. Hua Ze gritted his teeth, enduring the humiliation, and continued to speak.

"Since Yun Yun is Pavilion Master Xiao's friend, she would indeed not care about a Flower Sect Sect Master position. It's clear that Yun Yun has no connection to Hua Yu's death. Pavilion Master Xiao can take her away at will, and our Flower Sect will visit later to apologize to Yun Yun."

"Alright, there's no need to make up excuses. Isn't it just asking for reinforcements? Why talk about Cultivating in seclusion? You two clearly knew what was happening within the Sect but sat idly by. It's nothing more than thinking Yun'er's strength was nothing in front of the Flower Sect!"

"Just because Yun'er is weak, your Flower Sect wants to take her life with a fabricated charge!"

"Coincidentally! In my eyes, your Flower Sect is nothing but a bunch of trash. Today, I will destroy your Flower Sect. What will you two do? What will the Heavenly Mansion Alliance do?"

As he spoke, Xiao Lei already sensed several Qi appearing in the surrounding heaven and earth, but he didn't care at all.

Seemingly sensing the arrival of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance's powerhouses, the expressions of the Two Flower Sect Immortals also improved considerably. At least in their view, Xiao Lei shouldn't openly fight in front of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.

As for Hua Jiner, she had been hiding in the crowd earlier, fearing that Xiao Lei would notice her. Seeing the Heavenly Mansion Alliance powerhouses arrive, she immediately jumped out again, ready to reclaim her Sect Master's authority, "Xiao Lei! Our Flower Sect, as a member of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, is not some trash as you say! If our Flower Sect is trash, then what is the Heavenly Mansion Alliance?"

Xiao Lei hadn't expected Hua Jiner to dare show her face. He hadn't bothered with her earlier, intending to deal with her later. Since she had jumped out on her own... The next moment, Hua Jiner felt her head being grabbed from behind. This chilling sensation spread throughout Hua Jiner's body. Her body trembled uncontrollably, her pupils constricted. Just as she was about to speak, suddenly... "Pavilion Master Xiao, stop!"

The arriving Heavenly Mansion Alliance powerhouses all shouted in unison, trying to stop Xiao Lei.

Bang!

A head exploded like a watermelon hit by a high-speed bullet, brains and blood splattering. A lot of it directly coated the Flower Sect Disciples present, instantly scaring these pretty female Disciples pale.

Yao Chen, Xuan Kongzi, and others who arrived and witnessed this scene immediately had a thought: It's over!

"Noisy!"

Xiao Lei slightly shook his hand, although earlier he had only used a large hand formed by Dou Qi to crush Hua Jiner's skull.

Xuan Kongzi's expression was somewhat gloomy. Xiao Lei had killed the acting Sect Master of the Flower Sect, and the Flower Sect was a member of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance. If the Alliance didn't make a statement, then the Alliance, which had been so difficult to establish with the Pill Tower's influence, would come to an end!

At this moment, the Two Flower Sect Immortals were also trembling with anger. How many years had it been!

Since the establishment of the Flower Sect, never had a Sect Master been directly killed within the Sect in front of so many people!

It was as casual as killing a dead dog by the roadside!

And today, the powerhouses from various forces of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance were also present. The two could no longer control their emotions, and Hua Ze immediately roared, "Xiao Lei! No matter what the facts are, Hua Jiner was the acting Sect Master of our Flower Sect. She should have been dealt with internally by our Flower Sect. Your act of violence within our Flower Sect is not only slapping our Flower Sect's face, but also slapping the face of our Heavenly Mansion Alliance!"

Xuan Kongzi also said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master Xiao, this matter has not yet been investigated. Killing Hua Jiner so directly is indeed inappropriate!"

As the representative of the Pill Tower this time, he had to speak out, otherwise the Alliance would become a joke, and the cohesion that had been so difficult to form within the Alliance would instantly collapse.

The representatives from Starfall Pavilion were Old Yao and Xiao Yan. Old Yao had some acquaintance with the Two Flower Sect Immortals in his youth and was also a good-natured person, so he somewhat disapproved of Xiao Lei's iron-blooded methods.

At the same time, Starfall Pavilion was also a member of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance. Old Yao and Xiao Yan both hoped to rely on the power of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance to fight against the Hall of Souls, so they naturally couldn't sit by and watch the Alliance collapse.

"Pavilion Master Xiao was indeed a bit impulsive this time!"

Among everyone, only Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, the representative of Burning Flame Valley, remained silent. He had a violent temper. If he were in Xiao Lei's position, he felt he would kill more than just Hua Jiner.

The Fighting Qi Continent had always respected strength. Hua Jiner, a Dou Zun, dared to reprimand a Dou Saint powerhouse; her death was well-deserved.

Facing the pressure from the crowd, trying to make him back down, Xiao Lei was indeed somewhat unconcerned.

"Xuan Kongzi, your Pill Tower has always made decisions through the Elder Council. You don't have the qualifications to represent the Pill Tower. Let your Pill Tower Old Ancestor come out!"

The Pill Tower's system was such that, apart from the Pill Tower Old Ancestor speaking, all other matters were decided by the Elder Council. Xuan Kongzi had no way to refute.

"Saint Yao, I know what you and Xiao Yan are planning. Let me ask you, since the Heavenly Mansion Alliance was established, has it had any substantial results against the Hall of Souls?"

Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Old Yao and Xiao Yan both felt their hearts sink slightly. The Heavenly Mansion Alliance was led by the Pill Tower, and the Pill Tower was famously conservative; how would it actively attack the Hall of Souls?

Not to mention Xiao Yan wanting to use the Heavenly Mansion Alliance to find his father.

With just two sentences, the two forces that had originally intended to support the Flower Sect hesitated.

"And I suppose you all have been Cultivating for a long time and have some problems with your brains!"

Xiao Lei spoke again, directly mocking everyone present.

"The Flower Sect, without any evidence, tried to slander Yun'er with just a single sentence. I ask, today, when I attacked the Flower Sect, whose responsibility is it?"

Hearing this, everyone finally reacted!

That's right!

It was clearly the Flower Sect that had slandered others first without any evidence, intending to forcibly extract Yun Yun's Dou Qi. Only then did Xiao Lei attack the Flower Sect!

Everyone present had been misled by the evasive words of the Two Flower Sect Immortals when they called for help!
