She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1412 Huang Xin
"No!"

Kang Rong abruptly stopped him, gritting his teeth and saying, "At this point, the most important thing is to clear your name and protect yourself. Go and inform the fellow disciples of Shen Tong who are still in the city. Tell them that the Zhaoyan disciples are trying to force their way up Qinlian Mountain. Tell them to stop them no matter what and report this matter to the Dongxu cultivators."

Hearing Kang Rong say this, the Kang family's spiritual master realized the urgency of the matter and exclaimed in surprise, "So we have to report to a great power? Is it possible that even Shen Tong cannot resolve this matter?"

Kang Rong clenched his fists, slowly closed his eyes, and choked on his breath, saying, "Since those disciples dared to make a move at this time, Shen Tong's side will probably not fare any better than us."

Zhao Chun acted too quickly and decisively. Kang Rong thought she would proceed slowly and deliberately, but she never expected that she would directly attack Shen Tong. In doing so, wouldn't she directly offend a Void Realm expert?

Qinlian Mountain is located in the southwest of Dingxian City, less than a thousand miles away. It used to be a barren land. It was Shen Tong who took a liking to this place, so he raised the mountain, buried it in the earth's veins, and nurtured it into a cave dwelling.

Chi Zangfeng led his disciples to the mountain gate. The number of people, only a little over a thousand, quickly surrounded the area. Without exchanging many words with the people in the mountain, each disciple guarded a spot, intending to block off the mountain and prevent any cultivators from entering or leaving.

Although Shen Tong had instructed his disciples to seal the mountain gate before leaving, the cultivators on the mountain were clear about the difference between acting on their own and having others do it. Judging from the way those Zhaoyan disciples acted, they were practically nailing the word "suspicion" to the Qinlian Mountain lineage. How could the disciples of this lineage be willing to let Chi Cangfeng and the others off?
Immediately, someone stormed to the mountain gate, shouting, "We are disciples of Master Shen, from the Hengtao Cave Heaven lineage. How dare you come to our gate and block the mountain! When our master returns, he will surely report this to our grandmaster, and she will not let you off lightly!"

Chi Cangfeng glanced at him and, seeing that he was an external cultivator, assumed that someone with some authority on Qinlian Mountain had come out. He then said, "We are here under orders to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without exception!"

The disciple from Qinlian Mountain was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Chi Cangfeng would remain so arrogant and unyielding even after hearing Huang Xin's name. His face flushed red with anger and embarrassment as he retorted, "Even a disciple of Zhaoyan has no right to barge into another's mountain gate and kill someone!"

He stepped forward, pointing at Chi Zangfeng's face, about to say something again, but the latter snorted coldly, raised his hand and released a black sword light, instantly flashing behind the man. A head, still bearing an angry expression, fell to the side, and many unspoken words were now left unsaid.
The cultivators who had been blocking the way fell silent for a moment, then scrambled backward like boiling water, none daring to stand too far forward for fear of becoming the next victim of Chi Cangfeng's sword. This shock indeed made the cultivators on Qinlian Mountain much more docile, each shrinking back like a quail.

Before long, several more figures flew over from afar, their expressions a mixture of shock and anger, or still wary. Upon seeing that these thousand-plus Zhaoyan disciples had actually surrounded the mountain, some couldn't help but step forward to exchange a few words with Chi Cangfeng.

But when they approached and saw the bloodstains splattered before the mountain gate, and the still-closed head of the Qinlian Mountain disciple, their expressions immediately turned grim. The sect leader, Shen Tong, was one of Huang Xin's only two disciples who had reached the Divine Realm, and for him to be killed right before their gates was a grave disgrace to Huang Xin's sect. As fellow disciples, they had rushed over upon hearing the news, but unexpectedly, Chi Cangfeng had struck first.

The leader made a quick decision and hurriedly said to the disciple beside him, "Go and tell Junior Brother Guan that Senior Sister and Senior Brother Shen are not here right now, and tell him to quickly go and invite our master to come out of the mountain!"

Having said that, he dared not make any rash moves, but stepped forward to chat with Chi Zangfeng and see what the changes were today.

Chi Zangfeng didn't say much, only that he was acting under orders. As for whose orders he was acting under, even if he didn't say, everyone else knew perfectly well.

With Zhao Chun having already invited away Huang Xin's two disciples at the Divine Transformation stage, and Chi Zangfeng and the others present, no matter how many disciples at the Outer Transformation stage came, it would be of no use. Huang Xin had also been in seclusion for over ten years and had not summoned his disciples. They were even less certain when their junior brother Guan would be able to send back a message. In desperation, they could only invite Divine Transformation cultivators from the nine families and fourteen lineages to come over, in order to at least protect the disciples in the mountains.

When Kang Rong arrived, there were already several experts standing on the clouds. She originally did not want to come here, but Jiao Mengyu personally invited her. If she did not go alone, it would leave room for gossip. So she rushed over and happened to see Chi Cangfeng using his sword energy to block a group of aristocratic disciples outside the mountain.

Others might not dare to be so bold, yet this person dared to expel his clan's disciples in front of all the Transcendent Cultivators and shout threats to kill them. Kang Rong's expression changed slightly, because he had carefully inquired about the identities of these Zhaoyan disciples and knew that among the disciples who had entered the city with Zhao Chun that day, several had extraordinary backgrounds.

One was Zhao Chun's personal disciple, but that was a woman, which did not match the person in front of them.

The second is Chi Zangfeng from the lineage of the Zhaoyan Sect Leader. He is actually Zhao Chun's junior disciple, and his master's lineage is also extremely powerful. The man in front of us is probably him.

Kang Rong lowered his gaze, thinking to himself that fighting with such a cultivator would be the most unwise thing to do. Disciples of the same level would find it difficult to match him, and going up would only be courting death. Elders in the sect should not bully the weak, otherwise, if they angered the person behind him, it would be hard to say who was stronger.

She stood here today only worried that something might happen to Shen Tong. If Shen Tong could return safely, the matter would naturally be resolved. If something happened to Shen Tong, then whether or not they surrounded Qinlian Mountain today would not really matter. Besides the thousand-plus Zhaoyan disciples, a large group of cultivators gathered at the foot of Qinlian Mountain, creating a tense atmosphere.

Suddenly, a loud bell rang out in the distance, echoing all the way to this place. Upon hearing it, everyone's mind was shaken and they could hardly control themselves. Even the disciples of Zhaoyan couldn't help but gather their divine senses and hold their breath to guard their Purple Mansion Divine Gate.

While some disciples were still unaware of what was going on, several of Shen Tong's fellow disciples were overjoyed.

In the sky, Kang Rong exhaled a long breath and said to Jiao Mengyu, "This time it was Hengtao Cave Heaven that made the first move. I think these Zhaoyan disciples should restrain themselves in front of the Void Realm cultivators."

Moreover, with Zhao Chun absent, Chi Cangfeng has a noble lineage but no cultivation. He is far from being able to contend with a Void Realm cultivator.

Jiao Mengyu nodded slowly, his face revealing neither joy nor anger. He simply stared at the clouds gathering overhead and said with apprehension, "I'm just afraid that if this matter escalates too much, Hengtao Cave Heaven won't let it go so easily. When Zhao Chun returns..."

The drifting clouds gathered, gradually outlining the half-body of a woman. Before her features and face could be fully depicted, several cultivators hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

Kang Rong and the others who had been watching from the sidelines dared not be negligent at this moment and stepped forward to greet the half-woman. Chi Zangfeng then learned the identity of the newcomer, who turned out to be Huang Xin, Shen Tong's teacher.

Once this person appeared, he didn't mince words and immediately asked about Chi Zangfeng and the others, saying, "You disciples of Zhaoyan have come from afar and should be honored guests of the Immortal City. But now you've turned the tables and surrounded my disciple's cave. Isn't that a breach of etiquette?"

Chi Zangfeng repeated what he had said before to Huang Xin. Because Huang Xin was a Void Realm cultivator, he specifically explained, "Shen Tong's identity is unusual. He may have been possessed by an alien. We need to seal off his cave and investigate it thoroughly. Before that, no one is allowed to enter or leave. This is what Elder Zhao of our sect said. No matter who comes today, we will say the same thing."

Has Shen Tong been possessed by a strange being?

The entire world was in uproar, and those who had associated with him mostly gasped in shock, feeling extremely fearful. However, some refused to believe it and immediately scoffed, saying, "You youngster, you can't just talk nonsense. Brother Shen is a man of unparalleled righteousness, and his men have slain countless demons and evil spirits. His disciples have also accompanied him on numerous expeditions to exterminate evil cultivators. How dare you assert that he is an extraordinary person? This is utter nonsense, truly laughable!"

In an instant, those willing to defend Shen Tong stood up one after another, making Chi Zangfeng the target of public criticism.

He himself didn't care about this at all. Faced with the public's condemnation, he didn't even raise an eyebrow, clearly unwilling to back down!
Seeing his stubbornness, Huang Xin was also very displeased. He said, "Since Zhao Chun claims that my disciple is a possessed person, does she have any evidence to prove it? How can she decide right and wrong by herself? She made up a bunch of nonsense and then ordered you to block the mountain and road. Such an insult to my disciple's lineage is unjust. Even if she is the leader of the Great Dao, she has no grounds to stand."

"Today I only ask you whether you will retreat or not. If you do not retreat, then I will have no choice but to send Zhao Chun to me to beg for her!"

After saying that, a cloud-like hand that blotted out the sky instantly materialized, poised to grab Chi Zangfeng and the others.

Just then, a sword aura swept across the sky. Zhao Chun, along with Wang Long and the others, arrived at the scene. Upon hearing Huang Xin's words, she responded loudly, "This junior is right here. May I ask who you wish me to summon, senior?"

She used her sword energy to break through the cloud hand and stood alone in front of the disciples. She smiled slightly at Huang Xin and said, "Whether I am making things up or not, you can tell in your heart. Shen Tong has now been captured by me. Although I am not the only one to judge right and wrong, I cannot allow you to speak for yourself."

As soon as Zhao Chun appeared, the more than a thousand Zhaoyan disciples seemed to have a leader. Even with a Void Realm expert present, everyone dared to let go of the heavy burden in their hearts.

Upon hearing that Shen Tong had fallen into her hands, Huang Xin's gaze swept directly over Wang Long and the others, settling on Zhong Luohe at the very end. Seeing that she was absent-minded, both shocked and frightened, Huang Xin thought to herself that she was useless. Only then did she frown and feel that things were getting a bit tricky.
