Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2479
2479 Punishing Evil
High in the skies.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua frowned slightly. The development of the situation on the other side had exceeded his expectations.
Xiao Li grinned slightly. “Su Zimo sure has some skills. To think that he managed to escape from the Shadowless Sword!”
Xiao Li knew that even he did not have the confidence to survive against the Shadowless Sword.
Sword Immortal Yue Hua harrumphed coldly. “It’s just a fluke. Jue Wuying must have been underestimating him. If he attacks with his full strength, how can that lad survive?”
“T-That’s right.”
Xiao Li agreed hurriedly.
In reality, for a top-tier assassin like Jue Wuying, he would give it his all no matter how strong or weak his opponent was.
Even when fighting a rabbit, a lion would give it its all to ensure that nothing went wrong!
Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Xiao Li did not know that not only had Jue Wuying attacked with his full strength, he had even suffered a huge loss!
Because of Su Zimo’s counterattack, Jue Wuying lost an entire 60,000 years of lifespan!
At that time, Su Zimo and Jue Wuying were the only ones who sensed it.
If the Perfected Immortals of the Divine Firmament Palace knew about this, Su Zimo’s ranking would probably increase even further and he would be in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking Prediction!
“Senior brother, look over there! An inner sect Disciplinary Elder has arrived!”
Xiao Li pointed to the east before his expression changed. “Yang Ruoxu is here too!”
“Come, let’s head over too.”
Yue Hua strode forward unhurriedly.
…
“What’s going on?”
Elder Chen, a Disciplinary Elder of the inner sect, descended and his expression darkened when he saw that.
When Ming Zhe and Guo Yuan saw Elder Chen appear, they hurried forward and recounted the entire process one after another.
“Su Zimo, hurry and release him!”
Elder Chen said sternly, “Private fights are not allowed in the academy. You’ve already violated sect rules by attacking Fang Qingyun. Furthermore, you’re so ruthless and injured him so badly. Hurry and kneel down to admit to your crimes!”
The other disciples of the academy remained silent.
Everyone saw that Su Zimo was indeed the one who attacked first and it was irrefutable.
If Su Zimo was punished according to the sect rules, he would definitely lose his cultivation!
Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping were anxious but could not think of any solution.
Su Zimo was the only one with a calm expression. When he saw the Disciplinary Elder appear, he had no intention of letting Fang Qingyun off and said indifferently, “Elder Chen, you came at the right time. I’m not harming my fellow sect mates, but punishing evil for the academy.”
“Bullsh*t!”
Ming Zhe hollered, “Everyone was watching and there were countless fellow sect mates as witnesses. Furthermore, Elder Chen is here and can see everything clearly. How dare you distort the facts?!”
“Su Zimo, not only did you ambush and harm Senior Brother Fang, you’re even slandering him as an evildoer!”
Guo Yuan sneered as well, “You’re truly vicious. Not only did you try to kill him, you’re trying to frame him as well!”
“Indeed. Senior Brother Su was the one who attacked first.”
“However, the reason was because Senior Brother Fang wanted to cause trouble for the Dao child. In his rage, Senior Brother Su could not control himself.”
“So what? Senior Brother Su was the one who ignored the sect rules and attacked Senior Brother Fang first.”
Many cultivators in the crowd spoke one after another.
Elder Chen listened for a while and understood. With a dark expression, he said slowly, “Su Zimo, if you don’t let him go, don’t blame me for suppressing you personally!”
The inner sect Disciplinary Elder’s cultivation was at the Perfected One realm.
Naturally, Su Zimo could not defend against the attack of a Perfected Immortal.
If not for the fact that Elder Chen was wary of Su Zimo’s status as the in-name disciple of the Sect Master, he would have attacked long ago.
“Elder Chen, Junior Brother Su is right.”
Right then, Yang Ruoxu walked over. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that Fang Qingyun is an evildoer. Junior Brother Su’s attack this time round can’t be considered as a violation of sect rules.”
A legacy disciple had appeared?
Elder Chen frowned.
This matter seemed to have exceeded his capabilities.
However, he still asked in a deep voice, “Yang Ruoxu, what do you mean by that?”
Yang Ruoxu said in a deep voice, “About 2,000 years ago, I was traveling outside but was severely injured and nearly died. I’m sure everyone knows about this.”
Many disciples of the academy nodded.
At that time, everyone thought that Yang Ruoxu would not be able to survive the calamity. Unexpectedly, Su Zimo found a Saraca Fruit out of nowhere. Instead, Yang Ruoxu benefited from the misfortune and broke through to the Perfected One realm, ascending to the heavens in a single bound and joining the legacy ground of the academy.
When he heard that, Fang Qingyun’s single eye was already flustered.
Yang Ruoxu said, “At that time, I was surrounded by Pang Yi of the Pang Clan, Prince Yuan Zuo and the Heaven Execution Guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan of Flying Immortal Sect, Xie Tianhong of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom and many other experts of their four factions.”
“Fang Qingyun was the one who leaked my location and plotted everything behind the scenes!”
His words seemed to have caused a thousand layers of waves, causing a commotion in the crowd.
If what Yang Ruoxu said was true, it would be too light to say that Fang Qingyun was an evildoer.
This was an alliance with an external faction to plot against and kill fellow sect mates. It was many times worse than a private fight in the academy and was a crime punishable by death!
“Fufu.”
Right then, a sneer sounded not far away. Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Xiao Li had already arrived.
Two more legacy disciples had appeared!
Elder Chen felt a headache coming on.
He was an inner sect Disciplinary Elder and could only supervise inner sect disciples. He did not have the rights to control legacy disciples.
Xiao Li raised his voice. “Junior Brother Yang is spouting nonsense without any evidence. Isn’t it way too childish to frame fellow sect mates like this?!”
“According to what you said, you were severely injured when you were surrounded by the four factions. If Fang Qingyun was plotting behind the scenes, why would he let you return alive?”
Yang Ruoxu said, “That’s because Fang Qingyun’s true goal was to deal with Junior Brother Su. Junior Brother Su is the in-name disciple of the Sect Master. They only dare to lay their hands on Junior Brother Su after he leaves the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.”
Most of the disciples of the academy were shocked and discussed fervently—they could not accept such shocking news within a short period of time.
In the crowd, Yan Bingying was the only one with her head lowered, not surprised by his words.
Back when Fang Qingyun revealed his plan, he was rather smug. At that time, she and Tang Peng were both present.
However, Tang Peng was already dead by now.
Piak! Piak! Piak!
Sword Immortal Yue Hua clapped his hands. “Junior Brother Yang, you’ve made up this story well. You must have put in a lot of effort, right?”
Yang Ruoxu looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua fearlessly and said in a deep voice, “I won’t lie about something like this.”
In reality, if it was anyone else, everyone from the academy would have their doubts.
However, most of the people in the academy believed it if it was said by Yang Ruoxu!
Everyone knew that Yang Ruoxu cultivated the Righteousness Sutra and was filled with righteousness. If he were to lie about this matter, his cultivation would be crippled!
“A-Actually…”
Right then, a weak voice sounded from the square. “Senior Brother Yang is telling the truth.”
Although the voice was weak, it attracted countless gazes.
The person who spoke was Yan Bingying!
Her face was pale as she said that. She was under immense pressure and must have mustered great courage to do it!
Many cultivators knew that Yan Bingying had once followed Fang Qingyun.
Her words carried a lot of weight!
If Fang Qingyun had truly done those things, not only would Su Zimo not break the sect rules by attacking him, he would even have done a great deed for the academy to eliminate this rat!
