128: That's ketchup, accidentally smeared on my face

Everyone's thoughts were interrupted, and their gazes collectively turned to Mu Tiannan, the Sect Master.

His decision was the most important, after all, he was the leader of the entire Sect!

At this moment, Mu Tiannan slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering, inadvertently looking down at the stage, and then recalling his plan, he gritted his teeth and said, "Martial Nephew Jiang, what you said is not without reason; the Sect indeed needs to be updated and replaced."

"It's just that we are curious, what are the conditions for your loss, Martial Nephew?"

His words also resonated with everyone's hearts, and their gazes shifted to him, wanting to see what conditions he could offer!

"If I lose, the back mountain of Wudao Peak will be open for everyone to enter at will.

I believe everyone must be very curious about what's inside that made the entire Sect's Spiritual Qi so dense!" Jiang Qingchen didn't think too much and directly stated his conditions.

These conditions might not surpass the former, but for Mu Tiannan and the others, they held immense temptation, otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to sneak into the back mountain so many times!

As expected.

As soon as these words were spoken, some people were already tempted.

The back mountain of Wudao Peak, that was a place they had always yearned for; their curiosity was definitely no less than that for the Profound Yellow Tower now!

After multiple investigations, they could confirm that the increased density of the Sect's Spiritual Qi was definitely related to the area behind Wudao Peak!

Moments later, everyone began to communicate via Divine Thought, and soon they had an answer.

"Good, we can agree to that!" Mu Tiannan gritted his teeth, saying, "This might be an opportunity.

Regardless of winning or losing, it's a trial for us.

At worst, if the Sect truly falls into chaos, we can just step in to suppress it!"

"Alright, then let's wait and see!" Jiang Qingchen smiled slightly.

Once these old guys step down, he'll set up a few Advanced formations to trap them.

Unless they reach the Supreme Realm, he definitely won't let them out!

As for the Sect's safety, he'd let those Old Ancestors handle it; he figured they'd probably enjoy fighting!

Looking at Jiang Qingchen's smile, Mu Tiannan and the others felt a chilling sensation, a shiver running down their spines...

"Ah!!!"

"Someone's hitting people, someone's hitting people!"

Suddenly, a scream from below the stage attracted everyone's attention!

Upon hearing it, everyone's gaze was instantly drawn over.

Mu Tiannan's eyes, however, lit up, and he looked over with a surprised expression.

But when he saw the scene below the stage, he was struck by lightning, staring dumbfounded at the sight before him.

At this moment.

By the side of the arena.

Mu Buyu lay on the ground, groaning in pain, his face flushed crimson.

Everyone was startled by this scene.

In front of Mu Buyu stood two Disciples, looking at the scene before them with a bewildered expression, their faces pale, and a bad premonition rising in their hearts.

Their expressions were extremely grim; how was this different from what they had expected?

Shouldn't it be them lying on the ground?

"Enforcement Hall, where's the Enforcement Hall?

Someone's hitting people, quick, come here!"

Mu Buyu clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, his voice trembling.

"Martial Nephew Mu, you, what's wrong?" Beside him, Su Nianke was also startled and quickly stepped forward to check.

She didn't know what had happened, only that two Disciples had suddenly approached them, and then Mu Buyu clutched his stomach, lay on the ground in pain, and even coughed up blood.

"Junior Martial Uncle Su, he, why did they hit me, it hurts so much, I feel like my intestines are going to burst!!!"

Mu Buyu looked distressed, speaking to Su Nianke, while also pointing at the two bewildered Disciples!

Instantly!

Su Nianke's entire face turned cold.

She turned her head to look over, her expression like frost, and shouted, "How dare you, daring to lay such a vicious hand on fellow Senior Brother!"

Hearing Su Nianke's words, the two Disciples' faces instantly turned pale, and they quickly explained, "No, no, we didn't lay a hand on him!"

"Yes, Senior Sister, you must be discerning!"

Upon hearing this, Su Nianke became even more enraged.

These people still dared to quibble like this.

She shouted loudly, "No? Then did he lie down by himself? Did he vomit blood by himself? You still dare to quibble, you deserve to die!"

At this moment, the surrounding crowd also understood, and their faces turned cold as they looked at the two Disciples.

"How audacious, to openly lay a vicious hand on Martial Nephew Mu?

Unforgivable!"

"Fellow Senior Brother, take him down for me!"

"Go, seize them, break both their legs first!"

"Damn it, I was wondering why Martial Nephew Mu suddenly lay down, so it was these two scoundrels who did it!"

In an instant, countless Disciples surrounded them, scaring the two Disciples into kneeling down with a thud.

"It's a misunderstanding, we really didn't do anything!"

"That's right, we hadn't even touched him, and he just fell down!"

As soon as these words came out, even his companion's face changed, and the others became even angrier.

Indeed, they wanted to attack Mu Buyu, truly despicable!

Just as everyone was about to attack those people.

Several Enforcement Hall Disciples rushed over, and without even clearly seeing the situation inside, they spoke up.

"Enforcement Hall Disciples are handling matters, everyone move aside for me!"

"Mu Buyu, how audacious of you, to openly attack a Sect member in broad daylight, a heinous crime!"

"That's right, make way, we need to take him to the Enforcement Hall for judgment!"

The words of the Enforcement Hall Disciples instantly silenced the agitated crowd, who parted to make a path, looking at this Law Enforcement Disciple in disbelief!

Su Nianke's eyes also narrowed, looking at the Enforcement Hall Disciple with an unfriendly expression.

Their words, anyone who heard them, couldn't help but overthink?

The sudden change made Mu Tiannan's face darken, and he cursed inwardly.

Are these few Enforcement Hall Disciples out of their minds?

They haven't even arrived, they don't know the details of the incident, and they're directly pinning such a charge on Mu Buyu?

Are they treating everyone as fools?

He looked meaningfully at Shen Yuan, who also had a dark expression on his face.

Feeling that gaze, Shen Yuan's face grew even darker, and he roared inwardly.

Who in the world found these Disciples?

"Hehe, interesting..."

Beside him, Jiang Qingchen watched the scene with interest, his voice lightly drifting into everyone's ears.

Mu Buyu was at the Peak of the Creation Realm, so how could he possibly be injured by two Disciples in the Naling Realm?

Presumably, something interesting must have happened, otherwise Mu Buyu wouldn't act like this!

As for some people who knew the inside story, they remained silent.

Below.

Several Enforcement Hall Disciples walked forward from the crowd with arrogant expressions.

The leading Disciple, without even clearly seeing the situation, had an arrogant look, with his nostrils flared, and said with a sinister smile.

"Mu Buyu, surrender obediently, lest you suffer physical pain!"

At this moment, this Disciple was excited; he had long disliked Mu Buyu, and this time, someone sought him out to arrest Mu Buyu, and he agreed without even thinking.

But very quickly, someone beside him tugged at his clothes.

"No, why are you pulling my clothes, go arrest him!" He didn't realize anything and instead reprimanded that Disciple.

"Senior Brother Li Lang, stop talking, something's wrong!" The Disciple beside him couldn't take it anymore and reminded him, his face flushed.

"Something's wrong, what's wrong..." Li Lang was somewhat dismissive, but then his gaze fell upon the scene, and he instantly froze.

He saw Mu Buyu lying on the ground, his face covered in blood and pain, saw Su Nianke looking at him furiously, and saw the Disciple who should have been lying on the ground now kneeling and crying bitterly!

"This... this..."

His brain was a bit slow to react; how was this different from what he was told?

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

All the surrounding Disciples watched this scene coldly, all sneering.

Even if they were stupid, they understood what had happened.

Someone was targeting Mu Buyu, and it was related to the Enforcement Hall!

Some even unconsciously looked towards Gu Shaoyu!

If that were truly the case, then the most likely person to have orchestrated this was only Gu Shaoyu.

After all, among the Enforcement Hall, only he and Mu Buyu had a conflict.

At this moment, Gu Shaoyu walked over with a gloomy expression, directly slapping Li Lang across the face, "You scoundrel, you haven't even clarified the matter, yet you're so certain who laid hands on him?"

"Who taught you to enforce the law like this?"

Gu Shaoyu didn't know the details of the incident, but as a Disciple of the Enforcement Hall's hall Revered Master, how could he not think of these things?

"Senior Brother Gu, I..." Li Lang was stunned by the slap, not knowing how to explain, he lowered his head, his face bitter.

He completely didn't expect things to turn out this way!

At this time, more and more people gathered, and the Elder on the stage also noticed the commotion.

"Senior Brother Gu, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation for this matter?"

Su Nianke's angry voice rang out among the crowd.

She glared at Gu Shaoyu, also suspecting whether he was the one who did it!

Gu Shaoyu turned around, looking at Su Nianke and the suspicious gazes of the surrounding Disciples, his face darkened, and he said, "Junior Sister Su, I can swear that this matter has nothing to do with me!"

"I, Gu Shaoyu, would not stoop to such methods.

There's something fishy about this matter, and I will definitely investigate it thoroughly to clear Mu Buyu's name!"

Beside them, the Law Enforcement Disciples' expressions changed, and even the faces of the two Disciples who feigned injury changed.

If they were found out, they would be dead!

"Senior Brother Gu, we..."

"Scoundrel!"

Just as the two Disciples were about to reveal the truth, they were interrupted by an angry voice.

Everyone's gaze followed the voice and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a Enforcement Hall Elder's robe, walking in with a gloomy expression!

Many Enforcement Hall Disciples followed behind him.

He stood beside Gu Shaoyu, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and the two Disciples, as well as Li Lang and the other Enforcement Hall Disciples, instantly closed their mouths in fear, not daring to look up at him.

On the ground, Mu Buyu glanced at the Elder, a smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth, and then he let out another painful wail.

"Ouch, I'm dying of pain!"

The corner of the Elder's mouth instantly twitched, and a dark line flashed across his face.

This kid, he's really good at acting!

He could tell that Mu Buyu was perfectly fine, just pretending.

However, he couldn't expose him directly at the moment.

He turned to Gu Shaoyu and said, "Martial Nephew Gu, leave this matter to me.

I will definitely clear his name and also resolve everyone's misunderstanding of you!"

"Then I'll trouble Elder Gu!" Gu Shaoyu nodded in agreement, without any objection.

If he were to handle this matter, no matter what, he wouldn't be able to clear his suspicion, and it might even make people suspect him of protecting his own people!

And although Elder Gu was a Enforcement Hall Elder, he was usually fair in his dealings and didn't get along well with his Revered Master.

It was best for him to handle it.

"Come, take these people down for me, investigate thoroughly, and don't let a single one go!" Elder Gu looked at Li Lang and the others, immediately raising his hand to signal the other Law Enforcement Disciples to apprehend them.

After doing all this, he looked at Mu Buyu, gave him a meaningful look, then handed a fourth-grade Medicinal Pill for healing to Su Nianke, saying, "Martial Nephew Su, I see that Mu Buyu's injury is not very serious.

This is a fourth-grade Medicinal Pill, very effective for treating both internal and external injuries.

Give it to Mu Buyu, and he should be fine!"

"I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Elder Gu acted decisively, coming and going quickly.

The Disciples were somewhat slow to react for a moment.

"Gu Shaoyu, you'd best pray this has nothing to do with you!" Su Nianke glared coldly at Gu Shaoyu, then turned and put the Medicinal Pill into Mu Buyu's mouth, saying, "Martial Nephew Mu, quickly take the Medicinal Pill!"

"Hmph, whether I did it or not, my conscience is clear!" Gu Shaoyu snorted coldly and turned back to his position!

At this moment, after Mu Buyu took the Medicinal Pill, he almost instantly stood up, full of vigor, which stunned everyone.

Did he just eat an Immortal Pill?

Even Su Nianke was somewhat slow to react; was a fourth-grade Medicinal Pill that potent?

"Hehe, let's go, the competition is about to begin, I feel full of strength now!!!" Mu Buyu wiped the ketchup from his face, looking cunning.

"Martial Nephew, you, are you alright?" Su Nianke looked at him blankly.

Mu Buyu replied, "I'm fine."

"Then the blood on your face?"

"Oh, that's ketchup, I accidentally smeared it on my face!"

"???"

Mu Buyu didn't explain much, pulling Su Nianke away.

Ketchup?

Upon hearing Mu Buyu's words, everyone looked at each other, their brains struggling to process it.

On the stage.

Jiang Qingchen was somewhat helpless; this kid was still so cunning!

As for Mu Tiannan, seeing that Mu Buyu was perfectly fine, he knew his plan had failed and felt extremely distressed!
