After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Jiang Yueming glanced at the Peak Master, then turned his gaze to the Second Elder sitting in the main seat, completely ignoring the Peak Master.

The peak master was immediately furious. He slammed the table and was about to go down and fight Jiang Yueming and teach him a lesson.

Fortunately, the other peak masters still had some sense and quickly grabbed him.

"Don't be so arrogant, you brat!"

"Master Jiang Zhai, no matter what, you really went too far this time."

"They are safe this time, but they may be completely wiped out next time. I propose that Jiang Yueming's position as the elder be abolished and replaced by someone more suitable."

"Master Jiang Zhai, as long as you are willing to swear a great oath here that you will never order your disciples to go to the forbidden area again, we can let this matter go."

……

The peak masters all blamed Jiang Yueming, and he had to give them an explanation today no matter what.

But no matter what they said, Jiang Yueming remained silent and turned a deaf ear to them.

Even Hong Yun, who thought she had a good temper, couldn't help but feel angry.

Her two daughters were in the forbidden area. If they both died there, she swore that she would disregard the sect's rules and kill him first.

"Jiang Yueming, what do you mean by not saying anything? What? Do you think you are right?" The peak master who was originally held back became even more angry when he saw Jiang Yueming's nonchalant and calm look.

He didn't care whether anyone tried to stop him or whether it was appropriate to start the fight in the Discipline Hall. He gathered his palms and slapped the person standing in the hall.

The power of this palm is not great, but it can kill a foundation-building disciple instantly. Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage would spit out several mouthfuls of blood if it fell on him.

But Jiang Yueming just stood there motionless, as if he was unaware of the danger.

The peak master who had struck out with this palm immediately regretted it. Seeing Jiang Yueming motionless, he regretted his impulsiveness even more. He was afraid that he would be blackmailed by this madman.

In the blink of an eye, the second elder, who had been sitting silently, took action and smashed the palm strike to pieces with his sleeve.

"Stop it, Chengtian, your temper is still too bad!"

Huang Chengtian was dissatisfied: "My precious disciple, whom I hold in the palm of my hand, has not had a good day since he went to Qimingzhai. He was either punished or made difficult by various means. Now he was even driven into the forbidden area and almost lost his life. How could I not be furious?"

The Second Elder held his forehead and waved his hand: "You all should go back. This elder will definitely give you an explanation about the matter of the forbidden land."

Huang Chengtian wanted to say something, but he didn't expect that the first person to speak was Jiang Yueming, who looked indifferent.

He took a step forward, and the hem of his clothes emitted a faint golden light, like flowing wind and snow, or light clouds covering the moon.

"Elder, why do you have to let them all go? Wouldn't it be better to give them an explanation in public?"

The Second Elder's eyes darkened slightly, his voice tinged with displeasure: "Yueming, stop messing around!"

Jiang Yueming sneered: "Nonsense? I'm doing this for everyone's sake. You don't want the disciples of Qimingzhai to always be troubled by me, right? Why not take this opportunity to get me out of Qimingzhai, and preferably out of Qiankun too..."

"Yueming!" The second elder slammed the table in front of him heavily, obviously really angry.

Jiang Yueming's expression froze and he choked.

Seeing that he still had some sense, the Second Elder suppressed his anger and looked at the other Peak Masters present again: "Please go back. The Discipline Hall needs to be open for business, so it's not convenient to invite you for drinks."

The Second Elder had already issued an order to expel them, so they couldn't go too far on his territory. Although they were still a little unwilling, the Second Elder had a very high prestige in the Qiankun Sect, and his cultivation was above all of theirs. They could only swallow their anger and go back for the time being to see what kind of answer the Second Elder would give them.

After everyone left, the Second Elder's serious and cold expression faded slightly, his eyes softened, and he waved his hand for Jiang Yueming to sit down first.

Jiang Yueming leaned against the wall, unmoved.

"Yueming, there should be a limit to your willfulness. Why don't you sit down?"

"It's not that Yueming is willful, but you have been forcing me!" A crack appeared on the calm mask on Jiang Yueming's face. Resentment, sadness, and despair crowded in this crack layer by layer, making him unable to sleep day by day and quiet every night.

"I want an answer, is it that difficult?" he questioned, "Will I betray the Qiankun Sect? Will I side with them? Why won't you tell me?"

"Yueming!" the second elder said in a low voice.

Jiang Yueming wanted to endure it, he warned himself that no matter what, he was a member of the Qiankun Sect, and everything should be based on the interests of the Qiankun Sect. He should not lose his composure like this and step on the edge of the abyss again and again.

They are right.

He is selfish.

One's own selfish interests should not drag everyone into the water.

But, but——

Why?

Why should this world and this people sacrifice her?

She is so innocent.

His eyes suddenly reddened, and he took a step forward, plopped down on his knees before the Second Elder. "Elder, Yueming was brought back from the Hopeless Sea by you personally. She has always regarded you as her own father. Yueming begs you, please tell me where she is, please?"

The Second Elder naturally had special feelings for the person kneeling in the hall, but unfortunately, even if he begged him, he could not tell him the answer he wanted.

"Yueming, from the first step into the Qiankun Sect, you should have known what is heavy and what is light, what is carrying and what is letting go. If you keep clinging to this, how can you ever become an immortal in the future?"

"Tao?" Jiang Yueming smiled bitterly, looking directly into his eyes with red eyes. "Elder, what do you mean by Tao? Is it abandonment, betrayal, or abandonment?"

"Yueming!" The second elder slammed the table and stood up, but when he saw the deep sorrow in his eyes, he was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he finally sighed and said, "You should know that you are not the only one who suffers from the pain of loss."

After saying that, he turned his back.

"Sanyanya, go and wake up on your own. Come out when you have thought it through clearly."

The thick thunder spiritual power was trembling violently in the air, trying to get into the body of the little girl who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion. However, the girl had a frown on her face, and a layer of faint blue light enveloped her body. She was actually resisting the entry of the thunder spiritual power.

Seventh level of Qi refining.

The eighth level of Qi Refining.

The ninth level of Qi refining.

The tenth level of Qi training.

Thin, dense beads of cold sweat oozed from the little girl's forehead. Her pale lips were tightly bitten by her pearly teeth, and beads of blood oozed out.

Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes, covered her chest and vomited blood.

The eleventh level of Qi training.

Twelve levels of Qi training.

The great perfection of Qi training.

"Xinxin, you..." The little girl half-knelt on the ground, breathing rapidly, her face pale.

"Come out!"
