Chapter 25 - 24 Baseless Slander!

25: Chapter 24 Baseless Slander! 25 -24 Baseless Slander! “You are not allowed to lay a hand on Ye Xuan, I’ve already reported this to the ancestors!” Zhou Youwei protected Ye Xuan behind her and spoke to Elder Zhao and the others. Elder Zhao and the others had strange looks on their faces, but they said nothing. Seeing this, Zhou Youwei immediately sensed that something was off and, with confusion written all over her face, she turned back to ask Ye Xuan, “What’s wrong?” “I won the bet in the Heavenly Hall, so naturally, they cannot kill me,” Ye Xuan said with a smile. “What?” Zhou Youwei stared at Ye Xuan, dumbfounded for a moment. “I won. They need to kneel down, apologize to us, and then roll out of the Emperor Immortal Sect,” Ye Xuan said again. “That’s impossible!” Zhou Youwei shook her head subconsciously. However, she soon cautiously asked, “Did you really win?” Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and said impatiently, “Of course, haven’t you seen who your husband is?” Zhou Youwei’s eyelashes quivered, she looked towards the others present. From the expressions of those present, she saw the answer she wanted. Ye Xuan had really resolved the issue with Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect! This…. Zhou Youwei felt as if she was dreaming; she couldn’t believe what she was seeing in Ye Xuan, and then she suddenly laughed, looking incredibly beautiful. Earlier, after she had run out of the Heavenly Hall in tears, she rushed to find the ancestor, asking the ancestor to intervene, lest Elder Zhao, the Great Elder, and others make things difficult for Ye Xuan. However, when she returned, she found that Ye Xuan was fine and had even resolved the issue with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect! Although she did not know how he had resolved it, the outcome was the best one possible! Whatever had happened didn’t matter anymore. Seeing Zhou Youwei smiling, Ye Xuan also grinned and said, “Wife, you look really pretty.” Zhou Youwei’s cheeks flushed, and she stuck out her tongue cutely. This scene almost drove Zhao Yulong mad with jealousy. As for Leng Yifan, his face looked awful at that moment; he looked at Ye Xuan and said coldly, “Where did you get that token from?” His words immediately drew everyone’s attention; Elder Zhao, Great Elder, and others all looked at Ye Xuan. They too were curious about how Ye Xuan got that token. By now, Ye Xuan had already put the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order back into the jade bracelet and said indifferently, “None of your business.” The Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order was in fact manufactured by him today. But this Ancient Order was not fake, it was real. Because the real Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order was also made with Ye Xuan’s participation. As for what the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order was, this bunch of fools clearly had no idea. “You’d better speak up,” Leng Yifan said with a heavy tone. “Don’t change the subject. Hurry over here and kneel down to apologize,” Ye Xuan said impatiently. “Ye Xuan, I suspect that you are actually a spy sent by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect!” Elder Zhao also picked this moment to complicate matters. It was impossible for them to lower their heads. Since the issue with the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect had already been resolved, would they still fear Ye Xuan? Most critically, that token had forced Ning Zhengtian and Fu Yunfei to kneel and kowtow; they had to snatch it for themselves! The Great Elder also looked at Ye Xuan with a grim expression and said solemnly, “Indeed, I have never heard of any Heaven Suppressing Ancient Order. Were you just putting on an act with the people from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect just now?” These words immediately raised doubts among those present. Indeed, what had just transpired was too hard for them to accept. Ye Xuan had simply taken out a token, and then the people from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect inexplicably knelt down and then left, saying they would return after three years. There were too many suspicions in this. “Hehehehe…” Ye Xuan started to laugh and said, “Although I had guessed that you might not keep your promises, I didn’t expect that you would bite back like this. Impressive, truly worthy of being Elders who acted like dogs in front of the people from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, you are truly remarkable.” “Don’t talk nonsense!” the Great Elder shouted, his eyes bulging with anger. The one who had suffered the most just now was him; Ye Xuan’s words were clearly mocking them. “If you really are a spy sent by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, then the crisis of our sect has not been resolved at all,” Leng Yifan said. “Hand over the Token, and after we have conducted a thorough investigation, we will naturally grant you justice.” Leng Yifan reached out his hand. “Hand it over!” Elder Zhao demanded aggressively. Ye Xuan revealed a playful smile and said, “It seems to me that you just want to embezzle this token for yourselves.” “Nonsense! As an Elder, do I need to embezzle your Token?” Elder Zhao retorted coldly. “An Elder? So, you mean to say you don’t plan to keep your promise, is that it?” Ye Xuan said, narrowing his eyes. The Great Elder smiled and said, “As Yifan has stated, you hand over the Token, and once the investigation is clear, if it turns out you have been wronged, we will naturally uphold our promise. But right now, the truth is unknown; why should we fulfill our promise?” Wu Jingshan, standing to one side, was furious and laughed bitterly, “Impressive, are the Elders of the Emperor Immortal Sect so shameless? It seems my time as the Great Sacrificial Officer is now at an end.” seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Everyone’s expressions changed slightly. Throughout the years that Wu Jingshan had been the Great Sacrificial Officer of the Emperor Immortal Sect, he had made significant contributions to the sect. The Emperor Immortal Sect had benefited from Wu Jingshan’s influence and fared much better than before. Wu Jingshan’s words clearly intended to leave the Emperor Immortal Sect! “Brother Wu, do not be angry; the matter has not been concluded yet,” Jiang Jing hastily tried to mollify him, then turned to Elder Zhao and the others, “Don’t go too far. If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan just now, our Immortal Cloud Mine and Medicine Field of the Emperor Immortal Sect would have surely suffered losses. What are you doing now? Oppressing a meritorious official?” “Elder Jiang, this concerns the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect. If you insist on shielding others, we won’t agree!” the Great Elder snorted coldly. “And Brother Wu, if you wish to leave the Emperor Immortal Sect, just go ahead. It seems that Ye Xuan is all you care about now anyway.” This statement made Jiang Jing’s face turn extremely ugly, and she said coldly, “Don’t forget, besides being an Elder, I am also the wife of the Sect Master of the Emperor Immortal Sect!” “So, is Elder Jiang planning to stand with Ye Xuan and then force us to resign our positions as Elders?” Elder Zhao chuckled. Instantly, the group split into two factions. The Great Elder and Elder Zhao formed a temporary alliance, while Jiang Jing stood on the other side. “Are you trying to start a rebellion?” Jiang Jing’s face was filled with displeasure. “Hah, what’s so great about being an Elder of the Emperor Immortal Sect? It’s not as good as being a protector of the Luotian Sacred Land,” Zhao Yulong said slowly at this moment. His complexion was exceptionally pale and a little sickly. A flash of madness appeared in his eyes as he stared at Ye Xuan and declared loudly, “If Elder Zhao and the Great Elder don’t mind, you can leave this Emperor Immortal Sect. The gates of my Luotian Sacred Land will be open for you!” “Hey, if that’s truly the case, what’s the harm in us leaving the Emperor Immortal Sect?” Elder Zhao said with a grim expression. The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, then also addressed Jiang Jing, “I ask you, Junior Sister Jiang, to reconsider. If you really choose to stand with Ye Xuan, then we will indeed leave the sect.” “Zhao Yulong!” Jiang Jing glared at Zhao Yulong, seemingly not expecting him to be so vicious and desperate, intent on precipitating the collapse of the Emperor Immortal Sect. Hadn’t the Emperor Immortal Sect just finally withstood the pressure from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, and now they were going to crumble from within? Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, and he said indifferently, “A bunch of ineffective straw heroes, if you want to leave, then leave.” “Ye Xuan, surrender the Ancient Order, cooperate with the investigation, and once your innocence has been confirmed, the Elders will naturally fulfill their promise!” Leng Yifan called out sharply. “Once I give you the Ancient Order, I fear it will never be returned, right?” A sidelong glance from Ye Xuan met Leng Yifan’s, and he said with a smile, “By the way, the matter of you sending Zhang Tianlin to kill me isn’t settled yet. When did it become your turn to nag?” “Do not spout slander,” Leng Yifan said softly. “If you do not cooperate with the investigation, then we will have no choice but to forcefully suppress you.” Elder Zhao sneered, “This child is so frightened of our investigation, I even suspect he is the spy from the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, which is why he is so resistant.” “Arrest him!” In an instant, three protectors charged out from behind Elder Zhao, including Protector Liu, heading straight for Ye Xuan! Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of cold light flickered within them. These people were indeed courting death. Boom! In the next moment, Wu Jingshan took fierce action. “Brother Wu, you said you wanted a fight, didn’t you? Well, let’s have it now!” However, just as Wu Jingshan moved, the Great Elder acted as well, blocking Wu Jingshan directly. Although Wu Jingshan’s cultivation was not low, being an alchemist meant his combat strength was not that great. Against the Great Elder, he had no advantage. Boom———— At that moment, Lu Chengde appeared from nowhere, single-handedly taking on three protectors! “Elder Jiang, you had better make a quick decision,” Elder Zhao said indifferently, looking at Jiang Jing.
