Neither Yun Zhanyi nor the female disciples of Small Bamboo Peak could hide their anger at this moment.

  They had thought that once Xiao Lingchen had killed all the members of the Demon Race, everything would be fine.

  But who could have expected that in the end, Wei Wuhen would suddenly appear and ambush Xiao Lingchen, killing him!

  As fellow disciples of the Thirteen Great Sects, Wei Wuhen's actions clearly incited public outrage and drew the rebuke of Yun Zhanyi and the others!

  However, Wei Wuhen was completely indifferent.

  He said coldly, "So what if I killed him?"

  "Do you know that this demon killed fifty-six thousand disciples of my Tianyan Sect? Killing him with one sword was too merciful!"

  "If I could, I would have skinned him alive, drawn his tendons, and thrown him into the Rama Tower of my Tianyan Sect to suffer endless punishments!"

  Hearing this, Yun Zhanyi and the others were taken aback, exchanging incredulous looks.

  Xiao Lingchen killed fifty-six thousand disciples of the Tianyan Sect?

  How could that be possible?!

  Yun Zhanyi immediately retorted, "You're talking nonsense! How could our Supreme Mystical Sect disciples be as cruel and heartless as you claim?"

  The other female disciples of Small Bamboo Peak echoed, "That's right! We've been with Junior Brother Lingchen for days, and he's nothing like that!"

  "What evidence do you have to prove that Junior Brother Xiao killed your Tianyan Sect disciples?"

  Wei Wuhen snorted, "Evidence? Ha!"

  With a wave of his arm, an Image Stone suddenly flew out.

  In recent days, while collecting Scoreboard Tokens in the Dark Forest, he had unexpectedly discovered a large number of Tianyan Sect disciples' corpses.

  And it wasn't just hundreds or thousands of bodies, but tens of thousands!

  After some investigation, he finally found this Image Stone left by a deceased disciple in a hidden corner.

  He injected a trace of Spiritual Power into the Image Stone, and the scene stored inside was immediately displayed before everyone.

  In the image, Xiao Lingchen was wielding the Phoenix Emperor Sword, wantonly slaughtering the disciples of the Tianyan Sect.

  The scene was bloody, brutal, and shocking!

  Seeing this, Yun Zhanyi and the female disciples of Small Bamboo Peak were stunned.

  They hadn't expected everything Wei Wuhen said to be true!

  Xiao Lingchen had indeed killed the disciples of their Tianyan Sect!

  "This is fake! It can't be true! There must be more to this!"

  "Exactly! Even if we take a step back and say Junior Brother Lingchen did do it, it should be our Supreme Mystical Sect to judge him, not you taking matters into your own hands! Aren't you afraid of starting a sect war?"

  Wei Wuhen snorted coldly.

  He retrieved the Image Stone.

  "Rest assured, once the Sect Tournament is over, I will report this to my sect!"

  "At that time, my Tianyan Sect will demand an explanation from your Supreme Mystical Sect!"

  With that, Wei Wuhen turned to leave.

  However, just as he turned, a flash of cold light streaked by.

  Wei Wuhen's head flew off instantly, blood spraying into the air.

  Before losing consciousness, Wei Wuhen saw who had struck.

  It was Xiao Lingchen!

  "How... is this... possible..."

  He remembered clearly that he had cut Xiao Lingchen in half with one sword.

  But why...

  Why did Xiao Lingchen appear unharmed now?

  Unfortunately, his questions would never be answered.

  Separated from his body, he died completely in just a moment.

  Xiao Lingchen sheathed the Phoenix Emperor Sword, cursing under his breath, "Damn it, I hate sneak attacks the most in this life!"

  If it weren't for cultivating an immortal and indestructible body through Fate Transformation Qi, he might have really fallen here today!

  After speaking, Xiao Lingchen took Wei Wuhen's Storage Ring and destroyed the Image Stone.

  Only after Xiao Lingchen finished all this did Yun Zhanyi and the female disciples of Small Bamboo Peak snap out of their shock.

  They looked at Xiao Lingchen, their eyes full of astonishment.

  "Junior Brother Lingchen, weren't you already..."

  "Weren't you killed by Wei Wuhen?"

  "How..."

  Xiao Lingchen chuckled lightly, "He thinks he can kill me?"

  "In his next life, maybe!"

  Yun Zhanyi approached Xiao Lingchen, her brows furrowed, "Did you really kill over fifty thousand disciples of their Tianyan Sect?"

  Xiao Lingchen had no intention of denying it, replying calmly, "You all saw the content in the Image Stone, didn't you?"

  Yun Zhanyi asked, "Why?"

  "Why are you so bloodthirsty, and with Junior Sister Ning..."

  Thinking of Xiao Lingchen's dual cultivation method, Yun Zhanyi blushed, "How are you any different from the Demon Race?"

  Xiao Lingchen replied, "So what?"

  "Does Senior Sister Yun think I'm part of the Demon Race and plan to bring me to justice?"

  Yun Zhanyi retorted angrily, "Are you trying to provoke me?"

  "You saved our lives today, how could I repay kindness with enmity?"

  "But what you've done has caused a great disaster!"

  "The Tianyan Sect will definitely investigate thoroughly, and when they do, they won't let you go!"

  Yun Zhanyi furrowed her brows, then seemed to make a decision.

  She conjured a flame and burned Wei Wuhen's body to ashes.

  She told the junior sisters beside her, "You are not to speak of anything that happened just now, pretend nothing happened!"

  Then she said to Xiao Lingchen, "In the coming days, I'll help erase all traces of what you've done, ensuring no one discovers any clues."

  "And you, keep a low profile for now, don't give anyone any leverage against you!"

  "Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you!"

  Hearing Yun Zhanyi's words, Xiao Lingchen couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior Sister Yun, are you worried about me?"

  Yun Zhanyi replied with a hint of resentment, "Consider it repaying you for saving our lives just now."

  Xiao Lingchen laughed heartily, suddenly finding Yun Zhanyi rather endearing.

  She had a strong sense of justice but also knew how to repay kindness.

  Then Xiao Lingchen said, "Senior Sister Yun, there's no need for such trouble."

  "Even if this matter gets out, it doesn't matter."

  Upon hearing this, Yun Zhanyi and the others were puzzled.

  Xiao Lingchen continued, "Because I already have a mortal grudge with the Tianyan Sect."

  "After the Sect Tournament, I will personally go to the Tianyan Sect and destroy the entire sect!"

  Hearing this, Yun Zhanyi and the others were shocked.

  After further inquiry, they finally learned of the enmity between Xiao Lingchen and the Tianyan Sect.

  Only then did they understand why Xiao Lingchen slaughtered the Tianyan Sect disciples.

  If it were them, and the Tianyan Sect dared to harm their families, they would do the same as Xiao Lingchen!

  But...

  Yun Zhanyi said worriedly, "But how can you alone be a match for the vast Tianyan Sect?"

  "The Tianyan Sect is not like the family forces in Azure Cloud City, not even the City Lord's Mansion can compare!"

  "The Tianyan Sect has a million disciples, seventy-two deacons, and twelve elders."

  "All seventy-two deacons are at least in the Dao Palace Realm, and the twelve elders are at least at the ninth level of the Dao Palace Realm, with half already in the Breaking Illusions Realm!"

  "And their Sect Master, Duan Wushang, is said to have reached the seventh level of the Breaking Illusions Realm, and he possesses the sect's Divine Artifact. How can you be their match?"
