Chapter 2920: Traitors
Translator: Legge
Princess Scarlet Rainbow cried and said, “Today is Junior Brother Su’s death anniversary. Ruoxu headed to Junior Brother Su’s cave abode to pay respects to him. However, Zhang Hua and the others saw him and did not give him a chance to explain at all. They joined forces to capture him and sent him to the Enforcement Platform.”
Mo Qing frowned slightly.
Although Junior Brother Yang had been searching for the truth of the past all these years, he knew his situation very well and was not rash. Instead, he became even more cautious in the sect.
Although countless pairs of eyes were watching him at all times, no one caught him doing anything wrong.
Even if they wanted to harm him, they could not find a suitable reason.
She did not know why Junior Brother Yang would suddenly head to pay respects to Junior Brother Su, allowing himself to be caught by Zhang Hua and the others so easily.
Ever since Junior Brother Su died and Sword Immortal Yue Hua was severely injured in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, Zhang Hua had been the most famous and strongest legacy disciple of the academy in recent years.
“Where are the elders?”
Mo Qing asked.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow said, “The elders are all around, but they’ve been silent.”
The reason why Yang Ruoxu insisted on finding the truth back then was because he suspected the Sect Master of the Academy and the elders did not dare to speak up for him.
Looking at Princess Scarlet Rainbow who was sobbing uncontrollably, Mo Qing’s heart that had been silent for many years suddenly felt indignant. She clenched her fists slightly. “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you!”
Heaven and Earth Academy.
For a heaven-grade sect like Heaven and Earth Academy, there would definitely be a powerful Sect Protection Formation outside the sect. Without approval, outsiders could not barge in at all!
At that moment, two figures were advancing sneakily in the dense forest outside the academy, approaching the entrance of the academy.
To be precise, it was a fair-faced, beardless and slightly young gray-robed cultivator carrying a white-haired old man with a weak aura.
The gray-robed cultivator carried the old man on his back and hopped left and right in the forest. Occasionally, he would take two steps back before strolling forward.
“Old Man Xuan.”
The gray-robed cultivator asked casually, “What happens if we take a wrong step in this Sect Protection Formation? Will we be exposed right away?”
The old man replied indifferently, “No, we won’t. We’ll evaporate in an instant.”
The gray-robed cultivator shuddered in fear and almost misstepped!
“Don’t scare me.”
The gray-robed cultivator gulped.
The old man said, “This immortal formation was personally set up by the previous Sect Master. Even Grotto-heaven realm Kings will be severely injured if they barge in. You’ve only just advanced to the Perfected One realm. If you trigger this immortal formation, you will be reduced to ashes instantly.” As the gray-robed cultivator sneaked towards Heaven and Earth Academy according to the old man’s guidance, he complained, “You were beaten up by the Sect Master of the Academy until you were almost crippled. Why are we coming back again?”
“That Sect Master of the Academy is so powerful with his flawless calculations. If he discovers us, I’ll have to die along with you man.”
“Don’t worry, he’s not in the academy now.”
The old man said, “There’s a secret ground in the academy that even he doesn’t know about. If we infiltrate it and find the immortal pills and divine medicine left behind by the previous Sect Master, I’ll have a chance to recover to 70% of my strength.”
“What’s the use of recovering 7O°/o?”
The gray-robed cultivator pouted. “Even in your peak condition, you were beaten to such a state. With 70% of your combat strength, he could kill you with a single finger.”
“What do you know?!”
The old man could not hold it in any longer after being mocked by the gray-robed cultivator. He blew at his beard and glared, cursing, “Our lineage is the last hope of Heaven and Earth Academy!”
“In that secret ground, there are also many secret manuals and treasures of Heaven and Earth Academy. These are all key to your future reconstruction of the academy.”
Amidst the bickering, two figures sneaked into Heaven and Earth Academy without anyone noticing.
When Mo Qing arrived at the Enforcement Platform with Princess Scarlet Rainbow, her heart sank.
The scene before her was even more serious than she had imagined!
After all these years, the Grand Elder of the academy’s lifespan had been exhausted and he passed away in meditation. The position of the Grand Elder had always been vacant.
But now, apart from Elder Eight, the other seven of the remaining eight elders were all present!
Not only that, there were also many legacy disciples gathered around. In fact, there were also many inner sect and outer sect disciples.
At a glance, there were many people gathered around the Enforcement Platform.
Almost all the cultivators of Heaven and Earth Academy were mobilized!
The moment Mo Qing arrived, she felt a suffocating pressure.
On the Enforcement Platform.
Yang Ruoxu was tied to a bronze pillar that towered into the skies and was wrapped in a gigantic chain, unable to move at all.
The chain was filled with runes that suppressed his Dao Fruit, bloodline and even the True Essence in his body!
At that moment, Yang Ruoxu’s hair was disheveled and his clothes were tattered. There were fresh blood wounds on his body after he was whipped by the Enforcement Whip—it was a shocking sight!
Due to the suppression of his strength, he could not even recover from the wounds on his body.
Piak!
Zhang Hua wielded an Enforcement Whip that dripped with blood and whipped Yang Ruoxu fiercely. His gaze was cold as he hollered, “Yang Ruoxu, do you admit to your mistakes?!”
Yang Ruoxu merely raised his head and looked at Zhang Hua disdainfully. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat blood at Zhang Hua!
“Fufu.”
Zhang Hua was not angry and merely smiled. “Yang Ruoxu, I’ll play with you slowly. I want to see how long a traitor like you who betrayed your master and sect can last!”
Zhang Hua raised the Enforcement Whip in his hand again.
“Hold on!”
A voice sounded as Mo Qing descended on the Enforcement Platform with Princess Scarlet Rainbow.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow ran to Yang Ruoxu’s side in tears, wanting to extend her arms and hug him.
However, when she saw the wounds on Yang Ruoxu’s body, she did not dare to touch them, afraid that she would cause him even more pain.
When Yang Ruoxu heard Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s voice, he raised his head and smiled at her, as though he could not feel the pain in his body.
Just like that, the two of them were extremely close and their eyes met.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow’s eyes were red and tears welled up.
“So, it’s Senior Sister Mo Qing.”
When Zhang Hua saw Mo Qing, he raised his brow slightly and cupped his fists. “Senior Sister Mo Qing, I know that you prefer peace and quiet and don’t like to be involved in secular affairs. I had no intention of disturbing you for such a bloody matter.”
“To think that some b*tch would be so tactless to invite you over.”
As Zhang Hua said that, he glared at Princess Scarlet Rainbow.
Mo Qing took a deep breath of air and cupped her fists slightly in the direction of the elders before turning to look at Zhang Hua and asking in a deep voice, “What mistake did Junior Brother Yang commit for you to treat him like this?” “He was merely heading to a ruined cave abode to pay his respects. Even if he was in the wrong, there’s no need to go to this extent for that mistake or even pinning the crime of betraying his master and sect on him!”
Mo Qing knew in her heart that once this crime was established, Yang Ruoxu would definitely be doomed!
Zhang Hua had a calm expression. “By paying respect to the traitor of the academy, Su Zimo, that means that he’s suspecting the Sect Master. Is that not betraying his master and sect?”
“It’s precisely because he’s from the same sect that I didn’t kill him directly.
Instead, I gave him a chance..”
