Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

At this moment, Han Ye was sitting on the stone platform, and he couldn't hear a word he was saying.

My mind is filled with Su Chen's smiling face.

"As you all know, the most important thing in refining the Golden Core is a stable foundation for the core..."

Han Ye was only halfway through his sentence.

A terrifying pressure descended from the heavens without warning.

The pressure of a Void Refinement cultivator!

The hundreds of disciples in the square stood steadily, without even their clothes swaying.

Lei Sha on the stone platform twitched his brow slightly, but he was also unharmed.

Only Han Ye.

That oppressive aura seemed to have eyes.

It pressed down hard on Han Ye alone.

Han Ye's meridians suddenly trembled violently.

The spiritual power within his body, which had reached the Divine Transformation stage, almost surged back into his dantian, causing his internal organs to churn.

Its realm is showing signs of decline!

"Thump."

A muffled thud.

A figure descended from the heavens and landed steadily in front of Han Ye.

The newly paved bluestone was cracked by that one step.

Angry scales on a green robe.

It was Su Chen who had left and then returned.

"Su... Su's true lineage?"

Han Ye, barely managing to maintain his crumbling cultivation, rose from the stone platform.

"What does 'true transmission' mean?"

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him.

The chill that had lingered on his face from inside the hall still lingered.

Elder Han.

"Let me ask you a question."

Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the square heard it clearly.

"My two disciples are Chen Shiqiang and Yun'er."

Where are you now?

Han Ye's eyes flickered involuntarily.

"How did I know?"

"I haven't assigned anyone to keep an eye on the true disciples."

These words were spoken.

The hundreds of disciples in the square all lowered their heads.

No one dared to utter a sound.

But everyone knows the truth perfectly well.

Su Chen has been away from the sect for several years.

Han Ye relied on his position as the Second Elder and the fact that he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

They secretly used countless methods to purge Su Chen's remaining disciples from the sect.

Some were expelled from the sect under some pretext.

Some simply disappeared without a trace.

Everyone in the sect knows about these things.

This is exactly what Su Chen wants.

To deal with Han Ye, there needs to be a plausible excuse.

Making a move against Yanyu Pavilion is my father-in-law's business, and it's not something I can discuss openly.

He could move his own disciples.

Once the knife falls, it will be perfectly legitimate.

"The matter of Elder Han taking action against the Misty Rain Pavilion."

Su Chen spoke slowly.

"Considering we are from the same sect, I can overlook this."

"But you have harmed my disciples."

Su Chen's eyes turned cold.

"This debt cannot be settled like this."

Han Ye's Adam's apple bobbed.

"The true teachings require evidence."

"You dare to condemn me with mere words?"

"evidence?"

Su Chen smiled.

There was not a trace of warmth in that smile.

"Among these hundreds of people present, who doesn't know what's going on?"

Su Chen glanced around.

The disciples lowered their heads even further.

"Furthermore..."

Su Chen's voice suddenly turned cold.

"I am now a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage."

In the world of cultivation, realm is paramount.

"I'll deal with you, a Nascent Soul Elder."

"What evidence do I need to provide?"

This sentence rendered Han Ye speechless, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.

The highest realm is the realm of enlightenment.

These four words are an unbreakable rule in the world of cultivation.

Su Chen is a Refinement Void cultivator.

Su Chen said he was guilty, so he was guilty.

Lei Sha on the stone platform could no longer sit still.

Lei Sha stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to Su Chen.

"senior."

"Elder Han may have a thousand faults."

"But for the sake of the Supreme Elder..."

"Elder."

Su Chen raised his hand, interrupting Lei Sha.

When that gaze fell on Lei Sha, it softened somewhat.

"Don't beg for mercy in this matter."

"It's no use for anyone to plead for us today."

"It was you, the First Elder, who spoke."

"Su, you don't even give me that face."

Lei Sha's lips moved, but he ultimately swallowed his words.

Lei Sha is a sensible person.

Su Chen has already said all this; any further persuasion will only backfire.

Lei Sha silently retreated to the stone platform.

Su Chen then turned his gaze back to Han Ye.

Elder Han.

"Today, I will seek justice for those two disciples whose whereabouts are unknown."

Before he could finish speaking...

Su Chen raised his right hand.

Bring your index and middle fingers together to form a sword-like gesture.

A sharp sword aura condensed at his fingertips.

Where the sword energy passed, even the air in the square was sliced ​​open with a faint hissing sound.

Su Chen flicked his wrist lightly.

The sword was pointing directly at Han Ye's left shoulder.

Han Ye wanted to hide.

But the pressure of the Void Refining Technique was pressing down on his meridians, leaving him no room to move even half a step.

"puff."

The sword energy passed through without any obstruction.

Han Ye's entire left arm, along with half of the sleeve of his robe, fell to the ground.

hateful!

Han Ye recalled the past.

His nephew died at Su Chen's hands that day.

And it was here that I had competed with Su Chen that day.

I almost got crippled by Su Chen back then.

Now...

Haha, it's exactly the same as before.

What a cruel twist of fate!

"ah!"

A scream echoed throughout the entire mountain gate.

Han Ye clutched the bloody wound on his shoulder and staggered backward.

The forced composure that had been on his face was gone.

All that remained was raw, unadulterated fear.

"Su Chen!"

"You dare!"

Han Ye retreated frantically while roaring.

"The Supreme Elder is still in the sect!"

"You dare to kill me in front of the Supreme Elder?!"

Su Chen did not answer.

He simply raised that sword finger slowly again.

This time, what gathered at his fingertips was no longer the sword energy from the severed arm from before.

Instead, it was a sword intent that blotted out the sky.

The moment that sword intent was unleashed, the sky above the plaza seemed to darken for a moment.

An aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth enveloped the entire mountain gate.

It was clearly a move to take Han Ye's life!

Han Ye's soul was scattered.

"Supreme Elder!"

"Elder, save me!"

"This disciple knows he was wrong!"

"We beg the Supreme Elder to intervene!"

Han Ye no longer cared about saving face and cried out in the direction of the main peak.

Su Chen looked at Han Ye's appearance and sneered inwardly.

A play must be performed well.

Just now in the hall, Master said he wanted to protect Han Ye.

He turned around and agreed to cut off one of his arms.

Now this charade must be performed in unison.

Otherwise, it would seem that Master's order had lost its weight.

Su Chen's sword finger made a feint towards Han Ye.

Just as the sword intent was about to strike.

From the highest heavens, an ancient spiritual force descended from nowhere.

The spiritual energy transformed into an invisible barrier, firmly blocking Su Chen's sword finger from Han Ye.

"Su Chen".

Li Changfeng's voice came from the clouds, authoritative without being angry.

"stop."

"Han Ye may have a thousand faults."

"You must not take his life either."

"For my sake, as your teacher."

"Cut off his arm as a punishment."

"Let's leave it at that."

Su Chen's hand froze in mid-air.

This charade has been pretty much finished.

This not only allowed him to vent his anger, but also made Master Deng put on a show of selfless protection of his own.

...
