As expected, he is my master, we are of the same lineage!
However, Lin Xingyun suddenly raised his hand.
He flipped out the eight Quasi-Emperor Pills again.
"Search his Divine Soul. If it proves I lied,"
"I'll return these eight Quasi-Emperor Pills to you."
"How about it?"
Lin Xingyun said calmly, his eyes sidelong at Tang Yu.
"Cough... cough..."
"This isn't about the Quasi-Emperor Pills at all!"
"The reputation of my Xianwu Peak cannot be slandered by outsiders!"
Yang Zhi coughed for a while.
Then he instructed Tang Yu.
"Tang Yu, I still trust Liu Peak Lord's character. She knows her limits and won't harm your Foundation, nor will she act impartially."
"Tang Yu, for your own sake, and for the reputation of our Xianwu Peak,"
"Go, let Liu Peak Lord search your Divine Soul and verify."
"Don't worry, if Lin Xingyun truly slandered you afterwards,"
"I will definitely get justice for you!"
"Revered Master! You—!"
Tang Yu was almost dumbfounded.
His Revered Master was actually so greedy and hypocritical!
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of his biological Revered Master.
Their personalities were so similar!
"Release your Divine Soul. I'm going to start searching."
Seeing that Yang Zhi had agreed, Liu Xinyan immediately raised her hand from afar and said coldly to Tang Yu.
"Wait! Hold on!"
Tang Yu stopped her sharply, so frightened his Divine Soul almost left his body!
Once his Divine Soul was searched,
the Heavenly Luo Great Emperor's Reincarnation and the Heavenly Mystery Demon Suppression Tower he possessed.
These secrets would all be exposed!
At that time, where in heaven or on earth would he have a place to hide?!
He kept breaking out in cold sweat.
Suddenly realizing something, he looked sharply at Lin Xingyun.
He saw the other party looking back at him with a sinister smile.
In his eyes, everything seemed to be under control.
He felt chills running down his spine.
After a while, he finally made a decision.
"No need to search the Divine Soul..."
"Disciple... Disciple pleads guilty..."
"What Lin Xingyun said... is all true..."
"Disciple was young and ignorant and made a mistake. I beg Revered Master... for a lighter punishment!"
Tang Yu knelt down again before Yang Zhi, pleading with a conflicted expression.
In this situation, to choose the lesser of two evils, he could only be forced to plead guilty.
"Hmm?"
"You Rebellious Disciple! You deserve to die!"
Seeing this, Yang Zhi couldn't help but release a trace of pressure.
It crushed all of Tang Yu's bones with crisp cracking sounds.
Now that Tang Yu had voluntarily pleaded guilty, how could he get the Quasi-Emperor Pills back?!
When the people present saw him directly admit guilt, a chorus of curses immediately erupted.
Many also said that he should be severely punished according to the Holy Land's Sect rules.
"Tang Yu, what grudge do you have with him? Why did you conspire to harm a fellow Disciple?"
"Does he have some personal vendetta against you?"
"Hurry up and make it clear, otherwise, I, your Revered Master, can't help you!"
After venting his Qi, Yang Zhi still calmed down.
After all, he was his own True Disciple.
If he could protect him, he still wanted to try.
"Revered Master, please understand!"
"That beast Lin Xingyun, he..."
Tang Yu was about to speak but hesitated for a moment.
Should he say it was because the other party stole his Opportunity and his woman, and then he sought revenge?
Such a reason would not only fail to reduce the punishment.
But it would also be too humiliating!
Just as he was pondering an excuse.
Lin Xingyun directly put his arm around Su Qingwu beside him and spoke first.
"Peak Lord Yang, since he's being evasive, I'll speak for him."
"Actually, it's just because he has always secretly admired this True Disciple Su beside me."
"And this True Disciple Su and I are already deeply in love."
"Out of jealousy and resentment, he wanted to kill me to vent his anger."
"Many fellow Disciples from our Wen Jian Peak can testify to what I've said."
Lin Xingyun said, looking back.
"Did anyone see how Tang Yu and I got into an argument in front of the Hidden Sword Dao Jade that day?"
As soon as his voice fell, several Disciples stood out to testify.
"I remember, I remember!"
"Early that morning, Tang Yu was carrying a food box, probably looking for True Disciple Su."
"But he saw True Disciple Su and Sword Son embracing."
"So he smashed the food box and even fought with Sword Son!"
"Then he was severely beaten by Sword Son!"
"I saw it too! I was observing in front of the Hidden Sword Dao Jade at the time!"
"I saw it too!"
"Me too!"
From the Wen Jian Peak camp, people kept speaking out to testify.
After all, there were indeed many people practicing swordplay there at that time.
Moreover, Lin Xingyun's prestige in their hearts had now reached a new level, so everyone was naturally willing to support him.
"Brother... Brother, he actually... actually had those kinds of thoughts about me?!"
Su Qingwu also realized it at this moment and was immediately alarmed and worried.
All this time, she had thought that Tang Yu only had brother-sister affection for her.
She quickly hugged Lin Xingyun's arm tightly and earnestly whispered,
"Brother Xingyun... don't be angry! I'll... never bother him or mention him again!"
Lin Xingyun chuckled and patted her head, indicating that she didn't need to worry too much.
"Whoosh—!"
And the Disciples from the three peaks present immediately erupted into a frenzy upon hearing this hidden story.
"Sending food to your crush, only to see them flaunting their affection!"
"And getting severely beaten by their Sword Son!"
"This Tang Yu... isn't he just a pure clown?"
"This feeling is so familiar, it's like seeing my past self!"
"What, Junior Brother Gu, has your old illness relapsed?"
"Hmph! I've long since awakened. With no women in my heart, Cultivation is naturally Divine! A simp will only end up with nothing!"
"Bah! Look at his pathetic demeanor, does he even deserve to compete with Sword Son for a woman?"
"Sisters, let me tell you, I entered the Holy Land with him. He was already very much like a clown before even entering!"
"At that time, he knelt in a strange snowy field, and music suddenly played in the sky!"
"Something like 'Snowflakes fluttering~~North wind whistling~~'"
...
The discussions of the crowd quickly reached Tang Yu's ears.
Making him feel like a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out.
He never dreamed that at such a critical moment.
Lin Xingyun would still seize the initiative!
The face he didn't want to lose was now completely lost!
"Revered Master! I beg Revered Master to see clearly!"
"Revered Master, what they said... although a small part is true..."
"But Disciple did it because that Lin Xingyun was too much of a bully, repeatedly striking Disciple with heavy hands, and even he was the one who first had murderous intent towards Disciple!"
"Disciple was bullied by him everywhere, which is why I was temporarily confused and wanted to harm him..."
"I beg Revered Master to uphold justice for Disciple!"
Tang Yu put on a look of deep remorse and pleaded with Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi also frowned tightly at this moment.
He secretly thought, this Disciple, how is he just like me back then.
When he first entered the Sect, he pursued his Senior Sister, then after achieving Cultivation success, he pursued his Junior Sister, and after becoming a Peak Lord, he pursued Liu Xinyan.
All of them ended in complete failure!
Looking at Tang Yu like this.
He seemed to see his own clownish self from back then.
"Alas!"
"Considering your youth and ignorance, and that it's your first offense."
"I'll punish you to go to the Cliff of Contemplation for a hundred years of confinement and reflection. Go and repent."
Yang Zhi sighed deeply and was about to flick his sleeves and leave.
"Thank you, Revered Master! Disciple will sincerely repent!"
Tang Yu was secretly ecstatic.
As long as he survived today, he would have hope of escaping the Holy Land.
He knew the Cliff of Contemplation was a place of confinement for Sect Disciples, and the gatekeeper there was only at the Divine Fire Realm.
He had his own methods to escape.
However, as he bowed in gratitude, Lin Xingyun waved his hand again, interrupting him.
"Wait!"
"Peak Lord Yang, your punishment is too light!"
"That's right! Such a light punishment is simply not enough to punish!"
"If mere confinement can offset the crime of conspiring to harm a fellow Disciple, we are not convinced!"
"Please, Peak Lord Yang, impose a heavier sentence!"
Starting from Wen Jian Peak, Disciples from Saint Confucian Peak and Guarding Dao Peak gradually joined in, supporting and fueling the fire.
After all, mere confinement was indeed a bit too light.
