They are the women standing behind me.

He contacted several cultivators of the same realm who had good relations with him in the sect, thinking that it would be best if he could use Shen Haoqiong to force Qin Xingyuan to challenge him by name. If that didn't work, then they would all go to the Shen family's ancestor's house to "celebrate his birthday".

Anyway, if Qin Xingyuan wasn't stupid, he would definitely go after him. With his arrogant and conceited personality, who could believe that he could tolerate the Sword Sect disciples he disliked? Who would dare to believe that?

But he didn't expect that his friends in the same sect would spread the news, and so many people came.

It's really different now.

He originally came up with an idea and told his plan, but it was rejected by many people. It was obvious that some of the people who came had their own little ideas.

Yu Leyu put himself in other people's shoes and suspected that instead of letting him step on Qin Xingyuan to become famous, he might want to do it himself and make the name for himself?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, there are so many people and everyone has their own ideas, so it is really difficult to completely reach a consensus.

Just as too many cooks spoil the broth.

Now we can only do our own thing.

Not long after, Shen Haoqiong pushed open the door and walked in. Yu Leyu and Shen Qingshu naturally noticed at the first moment that his face was quite gloomy.

"Cousin Haoqiong, long time no see." Shen Qingshu greeted with a smile.

Oh shit!

She actually had the nerve to smile and call him cousin?!

Shen Haoqiong was furious and sneered, "You traitor, you actually told Sword Sect disciple Yu Leyu that Senior Brother Qin would be attending our ancestor's birthday celebration? Are you afraid that no Sword Sect disciple would cause trouble for Senior Brother Qin?!"

"Cousin Haoqiong, this isn't Qin Xingyuan's fault. How can you blame me? How can you blame Brother Yu? Blame the Sword Sect? Otherwise, why don't you look for Xu Yuanqing from the Taixu Ancient Sect? Why don't you look for me, Shen Qingshu? Why don't you look for someone else? Why only look for him, Qin Xingyuan?"

Shen Qingshu questioned in a righteous and resolute voice, "If Qin Xingyuan had done nothing wrong, who would have bothered him? Cousin Haoqiong, instead of looking for the reasons behind others' actions from Qin Xingyuan, you are blaming others first. Could it be that others are so idle and have nothing to do that they find it fun to bother Qin Xingyuan for no reason? Cousin Haoqiong, are you really that incapable of distinguishing right from wrong?"

Shen Haoqiong was extremely incredulous when he heard this, and stared at Shen Qingshu in shock and horror.

"Friend Shen, don't you think it's strange?"

Yu Leyu chimed in, "Why did they choose Qin Xingyuan? Why not someone else? I'm also confused and puzzled."

Shen Haoqiong stared at Shen Qingshu, his face filled with rage as he shouted, "Without a family, how could you exist? But without the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, how could our ancestors have branched out? And how could there be a family?"

"Cousin Hao Qiong, without the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, our ancestors would naturally be able to join other factions. But without the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, would our ancestors still be unable to cultivate into immortals? Is the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect the only faction in this world? Are there no other factions?"

Shen Qingshu argued convincingly, "If there wasn't even the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, our ancestor might have had the good fortune to join the Sword Sect. Isn't the Sword Sect stronger than the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect? What kind of supreme figure was the founder of the Sword Sect? Could the Taoist tradition he passed down be comparable to that of the founder of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect?"

Hearing this, Shen Haoqiong, who was already very unhappy and furious, seemed to completely explode. His face turned pale and terrifying. "You, you traitor, do you know what you are talking about?!"

He even wanted to take action against Shin Qingshu.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Yu Leyu's eyes.

Chapter 51? Why would he even think about these things?

However, the next second, Yu Leyu saw the white-haired and old ancestor of the Shen family walked in. In an instant, Shen Qingshu's face changed drastically like a mouse seeing a cat. His face was full of endless fear and terror, and his legs were shaking.

The Shen family's ancestor said with a forced smile, "You're really good. Not only are you betraying your own family, but you're actually helping outsiders scheme against your own family members?"

Yu Leyu's heart trembled. Just as he was about to speak, the Shen family's ancestor glanced at him and sneered, "I think you, a fool who doesn't know how to live or die, really still don't realize what a terrible thing you have done, right?"

Yu Leyu and Shen Qingshu were both stunned by what the Shen Family Patriarch said. Then they heard the Shen Family Patriarch continue, "If I were a high-ranking member of the Sword Sect, I would be so angry that I would spit blood. As expected, even a thousand-mile-long dam will eventually be destroyed by a tiny ant hole."

Yu Leyu frowned and said calmly, "Senior Shen, I wasn't raised to be scared. Please don't exaggerate."

"Are you only focused on Qin Xingyuan, thinking only of exploiting his temper and forcing him to challenge you by name, so you can step on him to gain fame? Have you not considered anything else, or have you already lost sight of anything else? Have you been completely blinded by fame and fortune?"

The Shen family's ancestor laughed heartily and said, "Shen Qingshu, do you know why I didn't touch you? It's because you contacted Yu Leyu. Just one person, or even just a few people, can't really rise to the level of the entire sect. But with so many people, huh... So if the Sword Sect hadn't sent so many disciples, I would have killed you, the evil creature, right away."

"Is it possible that the disciples of my Sword Sect cannot come to the Immortal Cultivation City in the territory of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect?" Yu Leyu questioned.

"You are so stupid that I find it unbelievable..."

The Shen Family Patriarch said calmly, "Everyone in the outside world knows that the conflict between your Sword Sect and ours, Qin Xingyuan, is so great. As long as ours, Qin Xingyuan, shows up in Fengyun City, and a large number of Sword Sect disciples are here, how foolish would one have to be to think that your Sword Sect members aren't being blatantly high-profile and arrogant, so brazen that they wantonly come to other people's territory to deliberately bully and cause trouble? There are even quite a few mid-stage Jindan realm cultivators here. What are they trying to do? The early-stage Jindan realm cultivators can't stand up, yet they are openly and blatantly looking for excuses to bully others? They are openly and blatantly telling the outside world that you are bullying the weak?"

Yu Leyu was stunned.

The Shen family patriarch clapped his hands. "So, you're ruining the Sword Sect's reputation. Even if we have to do it for the outside world to see, the Sword Sect will have to apologize to our sect. You did a great job, truly a great job. Without you, how could this have happened? As expected, let alone a major force, even a small family has stupid idiots!"

Yu Leyu's face froze completely.

The Shen family patriarch raised his thumb again and said, "You are a big shot in the Sword Sect, how can I spare a worthless thing like you? I'm afraid that crippling your cultivation and expelling you from the sect would be considered extremely merciful."

The more Yu Leyu listened, the more she seemed to suddenly wake up. Her face turned extremely pale, and her eyes flashed with fear. Then she heard the Shen family ancestor continue, "You bastard, now you finally understand how the dignified Sword Sect you mentioned will treat you?"

Shen Qingshu's face was pale and her whole body was trembling. If Yu Leyu had a bad ending if she returned to the Sword Sect, could she have a good ending if she returned to the Sword Sect with Yu Leyu?

Yu Leyu was also extremely frightened and horrified. The other disciples who came might be okay, but the cause was caused by him and Shen Qingshu.

No matter what, he is definitely the one who can't escape!

The Shen family's ancestor looked at Shen Qingshu and said calmly, "You evil creature, don't forget that our ancestor came from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect. From the time you were born until now, everything you used, ate, and wore, etc., all belonged to the Shen family. But where did the Shen family come from? They came from our ancestor's sect. Tell us, what on earth is in you..."

When he said this, his face was grim and his voice was like thunder. He shouted, "Does it have anything to do with the Sword Sect?!"

Shin Qingshu seemed to be shocked by the sound, her face turned pale and she vomited blood.

"The ancestor wants to kill you, and no one can stop him. The ancestor destroyed his own bloodline, which is called clearing the family. He didn't kill you because he didn't want you to die too quickly, not because he couldn't kill you. The ancestor has come this far, and he is not a merciful person. He will definitely make you live a life worse than death."

The Shen family's ancestor narrowed his cloudy eyes and said, "Just keep struggling in despair. Killing you would only make your death too painful!"

Then the ancestor of the Shen family laughed and turned away with Shen Haoqiong.

Shen Haoqiong, walking down the street, asked the Shen family's ancestor: "Grandfather, if you say this, what will happen if they leave?"

"Leave? Can they leave?"

The Shen Family Patriarch said calmly, "Hao Qiong, I'm telling you, the high-level Sword Sect cultivators aren't all brainless fools. I believe a powerful figure from the Sword Sect is coming to take these disciples away, but no high-level Sword Sect cultivators have appeared yet. I'm afraid they can't enter Fengyun City, let alone contact these disciples through magic weapons. Fengyun City must have been sealed off and isolated by a powerful figure."

Shen Haoqiong was stunned.

"This is definitely not the work of our sect's Supreme. After all, this is a blatant breach of relations, tantamount to starting a war."

The Shen Family Patriarch continued slowly, "It's very likely that there's a powerful figure in Fengyun City who isn't afraid of offending a powerful force. He's even very likely a casual cultivator at the Tribulation Realm. After all, only casual cultivators would dare to act so recklessly. Furthermore, that casual cultivator at the Tribulation Realm only lets in cultivators at the early and middle stages of the Golden Core Realm. If they let them in, they must have ulterior motives. How can they be allowed to come and go as they please?"

“…” Shen Haoqiong.

"To put it another way, others can leave, but where will Yu Leyu go?"

The Shen Family Patriarch said calmly, "If he truly believes he's doomed, not only will he have to endure terrifying pressure that could completely crush and destroy his mind, but if he wants to continue on the path of the Great Dao and avoid a bad end, he'll naturally become anxious and panic. Therefore, we must put enormous pressure on him and push him to the brink of despair. Only then will he go completely crazy. Only then will he truly do something horrifying and foolish that even we can't imagine. Only then can we allow him to tarnish the reputation of the Sword Sect as much as possible in public."

Shen Haoqiong looked at the ancestor of the Shen family with a complicated look, and thought about it carefully. This person was in despair, and didn't want to have a bad ending. It was not difficult to understand why he went completely crazy and disregarded everything in order to fight for a glimmer of hope.

"Even Hao Qiong, do you think Yu Leyu can really accept that he will not have a good ending, and watch Qin Xingyuan have the last laugh? How can he be willing? How can he accept it? How can he not feel aggrieved? So even if he knows that there is no way to deal with Qin Xingyuan, he must do something, rather than do nothing. This is the human nature."

The Shen Family Patriarch said slowly, "In fact, Qin Xingyuan will definitely be fine. He has Junior Sister Gu, who is about to enter the Spiritual Transformation Realm, by his side, and at least one of our sect's Spiritual Severing Realm masters behind him. And now that Yu Leyu is in such a predicament, how could he even think about these things? I want to let many people see how the disciples of the Sword Sect dare to act so recklessly in other people's territory. This way, the Sword Sect will not only have to apologize to our sect, but also to Qin Xingyuan. Haoqiong, you don't have to let others know about what you do immediately, but as long as you have it in your hands, you can bring it out when necessary."

……

Chapter 52: A sound that shakes the city!

……

Yu Leyu received a message from a disciple of the Sword Sect, saying that Qin Xingyuan had left the Shen family's territory and was wandering around Fengyun City.

In fact, the Shen family's territory was watched from all directions by disciples of the Sword Sect, and as long as Qin Xingyuan left, they would be discovered at the first moment.

He didn't bring Shin Qingshu to meet up with him now.

Yu Leyu was thinking about what the ancestor of the Shen family had just said. She was in a daze and her body was shaking.

If there weren't so many people, if it was just him, or even a few...

But with so many people, and Qin Xingyuan already appearing in Fengyun City, then...

This, this is completely irreversible!

Even if the Sword Sect is just doing it for show, it still needs to apologize to the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, right?

However, given the current relationship between the Sword Sect and the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect, forcing the Sword Sect to bow to the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect...

Everyone in the Sword Sect must be furious.

So Yu Leyu knew that he would definitely not have a good ending!

The feelings of helplessness, despair, grief, anger, fear, etc. continued to erode his soul and spirit, making him feel as if he was falling into the abyss and felt only freezing cold.

Even why?

He just wanted to become famous by stepping on Qin Xingyuan. He was completely obsessed with fame and fortune. He was short-sighted and narrow-minded. He didn't think of these things, but why didn't the other people who came think of them?

Are all of them just staring at Qin Xingyuan, sharing the same hatred for the enemy, and adding fuel to the fire with one word after another? Infected by the atmosphere, are they just impulsive and excited, thinking about how to humiliate Qin Xingyuan or something?

he does not know.

"Brother Yu, what should we do?"

With fear in her eyes, Shen Qingshu looked at Yu Leyu anxiously.

Yu Leyu gritted her teeth, clenched her hands into fists, and her nails dug into the flesh of her palms.

He doesn't want to end up badly!

He wants to fight!

Even if he died, he didn't want to do nothing and watch Qin Xingyuan laugh to the end!

Yu Leyu's body was shaking more and more. He seemed to have thought of something. He decisively took out the Heaven and Earth Mirror and contacted someone.

Not long after, a young, handsome male cultivator in the early Jindan stage walked in and respectfully asked, "Brother Yu, what can I do for you?"

Yu Leyu said with a look of sorrow, "Junior Brother Niu, I made a grave mistake. I never considered that with so many of us Sword Sect disciples gathered in Fengyun City, the territory of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect, if Qin Xingyuan showed up here again, how could the outside world not think we were arrogant and brazen, brazenly coming to someone else's territory and openly bullying them?"

Junior Brother Niu, who had just arrived, was stunned for a moment, then, as if belatedly realizing something, his expression suddenly changed. He said in horror, "Senior Brother Yu, we were so focused on watching Qin Xingyuan repeatedly and openly humiliating our sect that we neglected so many things!"

Yu Leyu stood up and said slowly, "So, we must give the outside world a reason why we are gathered here."

At that moment, Junior Brother Niu saw Yu Leyu draw his sword. With a flash of the sword, Junior Brother Niu fell to the ground instantly, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

Shen Qingshu, who was standing aside, looked at Yu Leyu in horror.

Is he crazy?

"This is the cause."

Yu Leyu seemed to be desperate and was trying anything he could think of. He would do anything he thought would help. He said excitedly, "The man was killed by Qin Xingyuan!"

"Brother Yu, is this useful?" Shen Qingshu couldn't help but ask.

"How would I know?! Anyway, nothing I do now may be of any use, but if I don't do anything, then Qingshu and I will definitely end up in trouble. I'm doing this for both of us!"

Yu Leyu seemed to be in a state of extreme confusion, her voice rising and falling urgently as she spoke, "Everyone knows exactly who Qin Xingyuan is. They say that someone like him had a conflict with the Sword Sect's disciples and dared to kill them. No one should be too suspicious, right? Anyway, we have no way out now. Whether it works or not, we have to fight. Otherwise, what will happen?! Qingshu, do you think it's necessary?!"

Then Yu Leyu walked over, squatted down, and looked at Junior Brother Niu who died with his eyes open, muttering: "Junior Brother Niu, I didn't kill you. If it weren't for Qin Xingyuan, how could you die today? So it was Qin Xingyuan who killed you, it was him... Don't blame me, yes, it was me who received your distress signal. When I rushed over, Qin Xingyuan had already killed you. When Qin Xingyuan saw me, he fled. I was a step too late and couldn't save you. Junior Brother Niu, Senior Brother... I'm sorry!"

Then he picked up Junior Brother Niu, who was still cold. Shen Qingshu was no longer able to care about anything else and immediately asked anxiously, "Brother Yu, are you going to meet the other disciples of the Sword Sect?"

"Do not."

Yu Leyu shook her head. "Instead, they walked directly through the streets of the city, shouting that Qin Xingyuan had killed our Sword Sect disciples. They wanted to spread the news first, seize the initiative, and give people a preconceived first impression!"

Shen Qingshu was stunned for a moment, then Yu Leyu continued, "And if this happens, the other Sword Sect disciples in Fengyun City will definitely come to me after hearing about this. Even if they have doubts in their hearts, they will definitely not try to help Qin Xingyuan get away with it. They'll even have to face Qin Xingyuan first. They'll have no choice but to side with me and help me put the blame on Qin Xingyuan. After all, if I'm the only one speaking out and they're silent, it'll actually arouse suspicion. Why am I the only one shouting among so many Sword Sect disciples?"

Shin Qingshu seemed to be lost in thought.

Yu Leyu repeated, "I'm also using this opportunity to bring them on board with me... Once this news spreads, it won't even matter whether or not Qin Xingyuan killed the person..."

“…” Shin Cheong-sook.

"Three people make a tiger, many words can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person."

Yu Leyu's face turned ashen, like a trapped beast in a desperate situation. He roared ferociously, "As long as this news can be spread thoroughly throughout the entire southernmost region, even if it wasn't Qin Xingyuan who killed him, then it would be Qin Xingyuan who killed him. He would even bite my sect to death and not let it go. Fortunately... It's really fortunate that Qin Xingyuan is that arrogant and conceited person who doesn't take anything seriously and dares to say and do anything!"

……

Wearing a purple robe, looking cold, noble and dignified, Mei Xueshuang was strolling in Fengyun City with a candied haws in her hand, frowning wildly.

She heard a loud voice coming.

"Qin Xingyuan had a conflict with a disciple of my Sword Sect who was in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. He actually dared to kill someone!"
