King of Creation-Chapter 76 - The Mysterious Liao Feibai

Coming out, they saw Yuen Chengzu, an Inner Sect Disciple, being chased around clumsily by Ye Zhen, an Outer Disciple.

Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang was nearly driven to a crooked rage.

“Dammit, what are you all doing?

Stop fighting!” Elder Hong, losing face, roared angrily because Yuen Chengzu was his disciple.

Once an Outer Disciple becomes an Inner Disciple, they can officially take a master within the Qiyun Sect.

Of course, it’s a mutual selection; you have to be deemed worthy.

Elder Hong’s furious shout startled Yuen Chengzu, who was already fearfully respecting his teacher.

This fright exposed a critical weakness in Yuen Chengzu’s already shaky defense.

Ye Zhen stepped forward, using a turning elbow strike that directly shattered Yuen Chengzu’s Red Jade Primal Qi.

Like a slithering snake, he moved in close, and with a swish, swish, swish, he struck thirty-six points of the Meridian-Sealing Finger Technique in an instant.

Yuen Chengzu’s staggering form suddenly stiffened.

Ye Zhen’s eyes flared with killing intent as he struck directly at Yuen Chengzu’s throat.

Not far away, the disgraced Elder Hong’s pupils contracted, and he roared in fury, “Scoundrel, daring to commit violence here, seeking your own death!”

With a roar, a spirit light, like a streaming ribbon, blasted towards Ye Zhen.

Fairy Caiyi, in great alarm, shouted, “Ye Zhen, be careful!”

Her Rainbow Ribbon shot out like a streaming ribbon, aiming to save Ye Zhen.

Meanwhile, Fan Chuyu sneered darkly and chided, “Caiyi, what are you doing?

How can you attack an elder?”

In the midst of speaking, Fan Chuyu slightly exerted his strength, delaying Fairy Caiyi for a moment.

That delay caused Fairy Caiyi’s Rainbow Ribbon to slow slightly.

Fairy Caiyi immediately glared furiously at Fan Chuyu and asked, “What are you doing?”

Elder Hong was an elder of the Qiyun Sect with unfathomably deep cultivation.

If Ye Zhen were hit by that strike, he would undoubtedly be reduced to dust.

In an instant, a chill exploded behind Ye Zhen.

That sensation was even more terrifying than facing the Silver Line Demon Eagle King; almost instinctually, Ye Zhen switched his chopping move to a grab, flipping over Yuen Chengzu’s shoulder and swiftly dodging behind him like lightning.

“Hong, you shameless old man, an elder of the sect attacking an Outer Disciple, have you no shame?”

Accompanied by a sharp and crisp taunting voice, a streak of Ice Sword Light descended from the sky like lightning, striking against the spirit light blasted out by Elder Hong.

Bang!

The clash of the two forces generated layers of shockwaves, radiating outwards, with Ye Zhen being the closest to these shockwaves.

Yet, at the very moment the two forces collided, Ye Zhen had successfully saved himself—dodging behind Yuen Chengzu and using him as a human shield.

Thud thud thud!

The continuous aftershocks of the shockwave hammered against Yuen Chengzu’s chest.

Each wave forced Yuen Chengzu to spit out a mouthful of blood, and with every spurt of blood, his expression grew more haggard.

After the shockwave dissipated, Yuen Chengzu looked like a frost-bitten eggplant, his chest covered in blood; however, Ye Zhen, who had used Yuen Chengzu as a human shield, remained unharmed and nonchalantly stood behind Yuen Chengzu.

This scene infuriated Elder Hong to the point of nearly vomiting blood.

His own disciple had been used as a human shield, and it was lucky that Liao Feibai had intercepted his strike.

Otherwise, his disciple might have been killed by his own hand.

At that point, there would be no place left for his face.

Almost simultaneously, a virtually imperceptible surge of force retracted back into the hands of Sect Leader Guo Qijing.

“Hong, you shameless old geezer attacking an Outer Disciple.

Try it again, and see if I don’t stab you with a few transparent holes right now!”

Descending from the sky, the furious Liao Feibai went up to Elder Hong, pointing at his nose, berating him fiercely, turning his face red and his body trembling.

“Liao Rakshasa, do not push me too far.

He was trying to kill…”

“I am bullying you, so what?

If you can shamelessly attack an Outer Disciple, I dare to bully you.

You don’t agree?

Come on, let’s practice!”

A series of irrational scoldings left Elder Hong rolling his eyes, almost fainting.

There was no helping it; he had lost face seeing his disciple beaten so badly that he resorted to acting rashly.

After all, with the Sect Leader present, there was no way Ye Zhen could actually kill Yuen Chengzu.

“All right, Feibai, enough with the commotion, it’s unseemly!” Unable to watch anymore, Sect Leader Guo Qijing finally spoke up to intervene.

To Ye Zhen’s surprise, Liao Feibai seemed to barely regard the Sect Leader at all, completely ignoring Guo Qijing’s question.

“Damn it, what exactly is the identity of this instructor I’ve found?

A demoted instructor who dares to challenge a Sect Elder, and he managed to leave a Sect Elder speechless and even forced to swallow his own teeth and blood?

And he doesn’t even care about the Sect Leader?”

Watching this scene, Ye Zhen was utterly astonished and grew even more curious about Liao Feibai’s identity.

“Sect Leader, this Ye Zhen first committed heinous crimes outside, and even harmed Meng Chuan’s mother, causing a huge disaster for the sect.

Now he has again committed a violent act in front of the Sect Council Hall, which really is an unforgivable crime…”

“Mr.

Hong, are you blind?

Meng Chuan’s daughter, Meng Xiaoyue, is right behind you.

Ask her who killed Old Madam Meng,” Liao Feibai snapped coldly, making Elder Hong’s face turn red once again.

“It wasn’t Brother Ye Zhen.

When my grandmother died, Brother Ye Zhen was fleeing with me!” Meng Xiaoyue said with firm conviction.

Elder Hong was stunned for a moment, then somewhat reluctantly said, “Regardless of that matter, Ye Zhen has committed violence in front of the Sect Council Hall and tried to kill my disciple.

This was seen by everyone here, and fratricide within our sect is a grave crime!”

“A grave crime, my foot!

In my opinion, if Ye Zhen wanted to kill your disciple, then the disciple deserves to die and should be killed!”

Upon hearing this, the many elders present were left speechless.

How could it be so domineering that if Ye Zhen kills someone, that person deserved to die?

Even Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s face started twitching.

Following an order from the Sect Leader, a group of Sect Elders, Ye Zhen, Meng Xiaoyue, Liao Feibai, and the nearly killed Yuen Chengzu were all summoned into the Sect Council Hall.

Outside the Sect Council Hall, watching Ye Zhen enter, the exhausted Fairy Caiyi turned and walked away.

Fan Chuyu, who was waiting for an opportunity, quickly followed and said anxiously, “Caiyi, listen to my explanation.

I was doing that for your sake.

As disciples, how can we oppose an elder…”

Regrettably, Fairy Caiyi wasn’t willing to listen even to half of Fan Chuyu’s explanation.

Like a flash, she soared into the sky, leaving Fan Chuyu with a distant back that he couldn’t reach…

Outside the Sect Council Hall, only Fan Chuyu was left, clenching his teeth in hatred.

———-

Inside the Sect Council Hall, Sect Leader Guo Qijing and the others were not in a hurry to deal with the matter between Ye Zhen and Yuen Chengzu, but first asked in detail about the incident involving Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue.

In this matter, Ye Zhen was naturally forthcoming and detailed in his explanations.

The only thing he did not mention was how he severely injured Chu Jun and killed Jin Tai, briefly touching on these matters.

He had already explained these things to Meng Xiaoyue.

Moreover, regarding the process of escaping with Meng Xiaoyue, the higher-ups of the Qiyun Sect didn’t show much interest.

Their main interest still focused on Meng Xiaoyue.

“Ye Zhen, are you saying that the Water Sect treated the Meng family so harshly, even deploying heavy troops, just because of the Sword Light that fell towards Yinshan County after Meng Chuan died?

They suspect that Meng Xiaoyue inherited some mysterious power from Meng Chuan?” Sect Leader Guo Qijing asked.

“Exactly!”

Ye Zhen nodded.

“An Inner Sect Disciple of the Water Sect, Prefectural Colonel Wang Yunbao of Yinshan County, had personally interrogated Old Madam Meng and Meng Xiaoyue numerous times in my presence.

You can ask Meng Xiaoyue about this.”

“Ye Zhen, when Old Madam Meng entrusted Meng Xiaoyue to you, didn’t she tell you anything?” Fifth Elder, Hong Banjiang, who had previously wanted to kill Ye Zhen, asked sharply.

As he spoke, everyone’s gaze in the hall converged on Ye Zhen.

Under the scrutiny of many elders, Ye Zhen slowly and firmly shook his head, “No, Old Madam Meng only said to carve a living path for the blood of Meng Chuan, Hero Meng!”

In this regard, Ye Zhen was not telling the truth, nor did he dare to.

Ye Zhen couldn’t imagine if he revealed it, triggering some people’s greed within Qiyun Sect, wouldn’t Meng Xiaoyue, having just escaped from the wolf’s den, be entering a tiger’s den?

After separately querying Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue for over an hour, the high echelons of Qiyun Sect finally finished their inquiries.

After listening to the separate narrations of Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue, Liao Feibai was furious.

He turned and stormed off, “The Water Sect bastards, picking on orphans and widows, are really vile.

I’m going to blow up their Mountain Gate right now to vent my anger for Xiaoyue!”

“Feibai, come back!”

Sect Leader Guo Qijing called out several times, barely managing to call back the furious Liao Feibai, “Feibai, this matter is not trivial.

We’ll report it to the Imperial Court first and wait for a public judgment.

After the court has made a judgment, we’ll discuss other matters.”

After a pause, Sect Leader Guo Qijing then said to Ye Zhen, “Ye Zhen, you did the right thing in this affair.

You have contributed to the sect, and after consulting with the elders later, we will certainly reward you according to your merits.”

As he said this, Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s expression suddenly became stern, “However, merit is merit, and fault is fault.

Fratricide is a major taboo in our Qiyun Sect.

Ye Zhen, what exactly is the feud between you and Yuen Chengzu, and why did you attempt to harm your fellow sect member in front of the Council Hall today?” Sect Leader Guo Qijing sharply questioned.
