My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

Covered in dust and looking exhausted, Su Yi rushed into the main hall with an anxious expression on her face. Her voice trembled as she shouted urgently, full of worry for the sect leader, Zhenxiazi.

Su Yi was perfectly clear in his mind that he had completed his main quest and that he had saved Zhen Xiazi's life.

The reason for behaving so poorly is, of course, to win the other party's favor.

Even in my condition, I'm still worried about you. Aren't you touched?

Su Yi rushed into the main hall with an anxious expression and a heartfelt call, but her eyes darted around, surveying the situation inside the hall.

Zhenxiazi sat on the futon in the very center of the main hall, while the elders of each peak sat on the futons on either side.

When Su Yi burst in, everyone looked at her strangely, as if she were an idiot.

Su Yi was secretly delighted, and her tone became even more sincere, while her mind was racing with calculations: "So many people? This is perfect for finalizing my unspoken relationship with the sect leader!"

I've made such a great contribution, it's not too much for me to have a sect leader as a godfather, is it?

Just as Su Yi was about to speak, she saw a person wrapped up like a rice dumpling lying in the middle of the hall.

He was bound tightly with a golden rope, his eyes were blindfolded, his mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth, and his ears were plugged.

Su Yi, who had been wailing and crying, froze. These powerful cultivators were playing some strange tricks.

After winning the big battle, they're going to play the bondage game to add some excitement?

If we're talking about having fun, then these old guys in front of us are all over a hundred years old!

Just as Su Yi was internally grumbling, Zhen Xiazi looked at Su Yi with a dark expression and immediately scolded, "Clean up the dirt you were rolling on the ground. Find a cushion to sit on!"

Su Yi looked around awkwardly. Everyone was looking at her with a half-smile. Then she realized that these old guys had seen through her preparations before she entered the main hall!

Okay, this attempt at showing off had its flaws, I admit defeat!

Su Yi, who had been crying and wailing, instantly returned to normal, lowered her head and walked to the lowest seat, finding an empty futon to sit down.

Zhenxia glared at Su Yi with annoyance. She had just praised this kid, but who would have thought he would put on a performance art show for her as soon as he arrived? This kid really knows how to embarrass her in unexpected places!

  

If it weren't for the fact that this kid had done a great job in the face of the sect's current crisis, I would have hung him on the cliff of Luoxia Peak to be exposed to the night wind!

Angrily withdrawing her gaze, Zhenxiazi turned her attention back to the old man who was bound like a dumpling. She made a hand seal, and the cloth strip in his mouth disappeared.

Looking at his fellow disciple, Luo Xiazi asked with a sorrowful voice, "Xuan Tongzi, we've known each other since childhood, for 160 years now. Is it the Luo Xia Immortal Sect that's being harsh on you, or is there a grudge between us? Why are you working for that Fallen Saint Forbidden Land?"

The old man, bound like a rice dumpling, didn't move an inch, keeping his lips pursed and remaining silent.

Zhenxiazi looked at the indomitable Xuantongzi, nodded, and then turned to look around, asking, "Everyone, what do you think should be done?"

These words immediately ignited the anger of the elders on both sides:

"Attack on the sect leader is unforgivable in itself, let alone to strike at a time of crisis for the sect; it is simply intolerable!"

"That old bastard always looked so smug, I never imagined he'd be a traitor!"

"I knew something was off about this guy a long time ago; he's never joined us in criticizing the sect leader!"

"Xuantongzi, say something! Say something!"

...

These were all powerful cultivators, at least at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. At this moment, they were arguing like middle-aged women buying vegetables at a market. Some were angry, some were disappointed, and some were wise after the event. They were all criticizing each other, but no one could come up with a reasonable explanation.

Zhenxiazi raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at Xuantongzi and asked, "I'll ask you one more time. Answer me while looking at this empty sleeve of mine. Do you know your crime?"

Upon hearing Zhenxiazi's words, Su Yi looked at Zhenxiazi's right hand, which was now empty except for her sleeve.

It seems that this trip into the Fallen Saint's Forbidden Land was also fraught with danger for Zhen Xiazi. If her cultivation level hadn't been high enough, she might have actually perished inside!

But Su Yi also understood that Zhen Xiazi was risking her life to lure out the sect's traitor.

The Fallen Saints were no match for Zhenxiazi and her group, who charged in in a Gundam.

If they are wiped out, the traitors will be exposed. The only way to survive is to take risks and fight to the death to kill Zhenxiazi.

That's why Xuan Tongzi jumped out to ambush Zhen Xiazi.

At the cost of an arm, Zhenxiazi not only eliminated the sect's crisis but also exposed the traitor.

Thinking of this, Su Yi's gaze towards Zhen Xiazi held a hint of mockery.

Cultivating Taoism has made him stupid. If he had followed his own plan, he wouldn't have needed to go through such a huge ordeal. He could have not only exposed the traitor but also countered the Fallen Saint Absolute.

By acting so recklessly, he not only lost his arm, but also wasted a whole afternoon of research on the map.

How could someone with such a brain become the sect leader? They have absolutely no shrewdness. No wonder the entire Luoxia Immortal Sect is riddled with all sorts of forces, practically a sieve!

Su Yi thought to herself, but the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Xuan Tongzi remained silent. Zhen Xiazi waited a long time before nodding and saying, "Your bones are indeed very hard, which is consistent with the character of an elder of the Enforcement Peak. So, will you commit suicide or should I send you on your way?"

Upon hearing this, even Xuan Tongzi, who had remained defiant and silent, couldn't help but tremble.

Even great cultivators cannot remain calm when facing life and death.

The elders on both sides remained silent, as if they had tacitly agreed.

Having committed such a grave mistake, only death can atone for it!

Although Xuan Tongzi's emotions were fluctuating, he already knew his fate, so he remained silent.

Zhenxiazi suddenly looked at Su Yi and asked, "Su Yi, what do you think?"

Zhenxiazi's words instantly made Su Yi the focus of attention in the main hall.

Su Yi was stunned when she was suddenly called out. She was somewhat taken aback by the gaze directed at her.

What about me? How am I supposed to see it? I'll see it with my own eyes.

Do I have the right to speak among a group of powerful cultivators?

Seeing Xuan Tongzi's fate sealed, Su Yi thought for a moment and immediately shouted, "Sect Leader, I have an objection!"

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Su Yi calmly stood up and said, "This senior uncle is a traitor to the sect, but I don't think his crime warrants death!"

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you!"

"Children shouldn't interrupt adults!"

Upon hearing Su Yi plead for Xuan Tongzi, the elders immediately criticized Su Yi, saying that he was showing kindness at an inappropriate time, and that he was still just a child with a soft heart!

Zhenxiazi looked at Su Yi with a strange glint in her eyes. This kid didn't seem like the kind of kind-hearted person.

Facing the assembled elders, Su Yi spoke as a matter of course:

"For us cultivators, upholding the Dao without doubt and proving our resolve with death is the best way to die. The sect leader's actions seem more like granting this senior uncle's wish. This mute senior uncle's silence is probably due to this very thought, isn't it? If that's the case, how can my Falling Clouds Immortal Sect warn future generations and deter wicked villains?"

Hearing Su Yi's different perspective, Zhen Xiazi couldn't help but become curious and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Su Yi looked at Xuan Tongzi, who was bound like a dumpling, and said coldly:

"Of course, we should cripple his cultivation, sever his supernatural powers, destroy his dantian, sever his meridians, break his qi sea, and scatter his spiritual platform, so that he suffers the torments of the five elements day and night, making him wish he were dead!"
