128: Chapter 128 It should be cut into pieces and fed to the fish

Qin Kuai shuddered all over.

He backed away repeatedly in fear.

He had only looked back for a fleeting moment just now.

Yet, Mo Zixing had appeared before him silently and without a trace.

Regardless, he was still a Cultivator at the Crystallization Stage.

Yet, just now, he hadn't even sensed the slightest fluctuation of Qi!

Only at this moment did he truly realize the gap between the Golden Core Stage and the Crystallization Stage.

He regretted it.

He had thought that by jumping out in the name of upholding the rules, he could gain a reputation for being upright and impartial, while also letting Mo Zixing see his value.

So that he could secure a higher position in the future.

But now it seemed.

Not only did he fail to receive the appreciation he expected, he had completely annoyed Mo Zixing instead.

"Elder Qin Kuai seems to have some dissatisfaction with me."

Mo Zixing tilted his head slightly and tapped his shoulder in a calm tone:

"Do you think that I need you to manage my Qingsu Peak as well?"

As his words fell.

An incomparably powerful Golden Core Stage pressure suddenly spread out.

Firmly enveloping Qin Kuai.

Qin Kuai felt as if his shoulder had been violently struck by a heavy hammer.

His knees went weak.

He fell to his knees with a thud.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his robes.

He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but found that even breathing had become difficult:

"I... I dare not!"

He managed to squeeze out a few words with great difficulty:

"I have no objections to Elder Mo!"

"I just... I just felt that this didn't quite comply with the Sect's regulations. I'm doing this for the good of the Sect!"

"Regulations?"

Mo Zixing raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the three people beside him, including Liu Qingyan:

"Do you think my behavior violated the Sect's regulations?"

Liu Qingyan shook her head, reached out to take Mo Zixing's arm, and swept a cold glance at Qin Kuai.

Jiang Yuwei supported him even more firmly:

"There's no problem at all. Senior Brother can do whatever he wants!"

Su Li also shook her head gently without speaking.

Mo Zixing turned his head to look at the other Elders again:

"Then what do you Elders think?"

"No problem, absolutely no problem!"

The Elder who had been standing relatively close to Qin Kuai earlier was the first to jump out, pointing at Qin Kuai's nose and cursing:

"Elder Mo is a natural-born Genius and a blessing to our Mingyu Sect. How dare you slander him!"

"I think you're tired of living!"

The other Elders also hurriedly chimed in, fearing they would be a step too slow.

Qin Kuai never expected this.

These Elders who usually called him brother actually all sided with Mo Zixing one by one.

He turned to look at Great Elder Qin Cangyue, his eyes filled with pleading.

But Great Elder Qin Cangyue only gave him a pitiful look; that gaze only spelled out 'fend for yourself'.

Not only that, he stepped forward and added righteously:

"I was the one who invited Elder Mo to be the Elder of Qingsu Peak. Naturally, all matters of Qingsu Peak are to be decided by him."

"Elder Qin Kuai, you have overstepped."

Qin Kuai was truly dumbfounded now.

"Forget it."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Mo Zixing withdrew his pressure and said calmly:

"I never use my strength to bully others."

Upon hearing this, Qin Kuai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought he had escaped a disaster.

But not a second later.

Mo Zixing changed his tone:

"But Elder Qin Kuai was truly a bit too aggressive today, ruining my good mood from my Breakthrough."

"As for how to handle this matter, why don't we leave it to the Grand Elder to decide."

Great Elder Qin Cangyue's heart skipped a beat.

Of course, he knew what Mo Zixing meant.

But on one side was a distant relative.

On the other side was a once-in-a-century Genius who could lead the Mingyu Sect to a revival.

Even a spirit dog could do this math.

He looked at the last glimmer of hope in Qin Kuai's eyes, without the slightest hesitation in his heart.

This relative, it was better not to acknowledge him.

Who is Qin Kuai?

Not familiar.

"I think Elder Mo makes a lot of sense."

Great Elder Qin Cangyue cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"As a Sect Elder, Elder Qin Kuai indiscriminately accused fellow Sect members without regard for the occasion. He is truly overstepping his bounds."

"In my opinion, you should step down from your position as Elder and go back to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."

Qin Kuai's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver, looking as ugly as if he had eaten excrement.

Step down as Elder?

He had spent thirty whole years grinding before he finally managed to climb to the position of Elder!

Now, just because of these few words today, he was going to be beaten back to his original form?

No!

He couldn't accept it!

"I will not step down!"

He scrambled up violently, shouting with red eyes:

"On what grounds!"

"I spent thirty years to become an Elder, and he, a greenhorn who hasn't been in the inner Sect for long, why should he be able to suppress everyone as soon as he arrives!"

Seeing that he was so oblivious to the situation, Great Elder Qin Cangyue also got angry:

"Qin Kuai, you are presumptuous!"

"Me? Presumptuous?"

Qin Kuai truly broke down now, the resentment accumulated over decades finally exploded:

"Isn't it just because you saw that he formed a Heavenly Dao Golden Core that you are all fawning over him!"

"He is so arrogant; when he offends the Qingyun Sect one day and gets killed, I'll see who you can rely on then!"

"I think this Mingyu Sect is completely rotten!"

Once these words were spoken.

The whole scene instantly fell into dead silence.

All the Elders were stunned, their faces showing expressions of shock and anger.

Although they previously thought Qin Kuai was rigid, at least they felt he was devoted to the Sect.

But now it seemed.

This was what he truly thought in his heart!

All that talk about being devoted to the public good was just a facade!

Mo Zixing's smile did not change in the slightest, as if he had long expected him to say this.

Sure enough, the trait was correct.

Selfish people will always feel that the whole world owes them.

He stepped forward.

Reached out and grabbed Qin Kuai's collar:

"Since you keep saying that the Sect's rules are greater than heaven."

Mo Zixing's voice was cold:

"Then I ask you, what is the punishment for publicly slandering the future of the Sect and shaking the hearts of the Sect members?"

"Death penalty."

Liu Qingyan's voice came from the side.

The tone seemed calm, but the words were merciless.

Mo Zixing nodded slightly and directly followed her words, saying casually:

"I don't like killing either. Considering that both you and the Grand Elder share the surname Qin, the death penalty can be waived."

Hearing this, Great Elder Qin Cangyue thought Mo Zixing was reminding him, so he quickly stepped back a bit.

Mo Zixing didn't care and continued:

"But you must be expelled from the Sect and never employed again. This is the bottom line."

Before the words had even faded.

His figure flashed.

Only an afterimage remained in place.

The two had already disappeared from Qingsu Peak.

The next second.

The two appeared by the river outside the Mingyu Sect.

Mo Zixing casually threw Qin Kuai onto the ground.

Qin Kuai scrambled up.

Not daring to look at Mo Zixing again, he turned and ran into the distance.

He thought Mo Zixing would really let him go.

As long as he could leave alive.

He would have plenty of opportunities in the future to defect to the Qingyun Sect and come back to avenge today's grudge.

Unfortunately.

Mo Zixing had no intention of giving him that chance at all.

He raised his hand casually.

A Flying Sword appeared out of thin air.

With a swish.

It directly pierced through Qin Kuai's knee, pinning him to the ground.

"Ahhhhh!"

The shrill scream resounded by the riverbank.

Qin Kuai fell to the ground, clutching his bleeding knee and howling in pain.

Mo Zixing walked slowly in front of him:

"Stop screaming, I will release you."

He did not give Qin Kuai another chance to beg for mercy.

Several sword lights flashed by.

The screaming stopped abruptly.

Qin Kuai turned into several piles of fragments on the ground.

Mo Zixing waved his hand casually.

A surge of Qi swept up the fragments of Qin Kuai from the ground and threw them into the rushing river water.

Several large fish immediately surrounded them.

The water surface quickly returned to calm.

The release was complete.

Mo Zixing clapped his hands, turned around, and leaped.

Returning to Qingsu Peak.

In the courtyard.

The Elders were still standing in place.

They had all heard that shrill scream from just now clearly.

"Alright."

Mo Zixing said calmly:

"I have already released him."
