"Do you have any evidence to prove that I, Chu Luobai, have plundered resources from other disciples?"

"If you can't produce evidence, even if you are an elder, Tian Huachi, you should be punished for slandering a disciple of the sect."

Chu Luobai stared directly at Tian Huachi, her expression showing no fear.

"How dare you address the elder by his given name?"

Tian Huachi stood at the entrance of the main hall, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking down at Chu Luobai.

Like, so similar.

Chu Luobai's eyes were exactly the same as Mu Changfeng's eyes back then.

An unnamed rage raged in Tian Huachi's chest.

He subconsciously circulated his spiritual power, and the pressure of the peak of the Dao Integration Realm poured out from his body.

"Chu Luobai, do you really think that no one in the Qingyun Sword Sect can deal with you?"

Feeling this terrifying pressure, Chu Luobai's hand subconsciously covered the hilt of Lingxiao's sword.

Tian Huachi has always been at odds with Xiaoyao Peak, or more precisely, with his master, the carefree immortal lord Mu Changfeng.

When Tian Huachi was the elder in charge of secular affairs, he often caused trouble for Chu Luobai and the other disciples of Xiaoyao Peak.

Especially after Mu Changfeng went into seclusion, the targeting became even more obvious.

Fortunately, he was later transferred to guard the Sword Forest for some reason, and Xiao Yaofeng's life became a little better.

Chu Luobai never expected that he would appear here today. He was not among the elders who supported Mu Yurou in his previous life.

It seems that not getting the Chenghuang (a type of glutinous rice cake) really made them anxious.

"As a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, I, Chu Luobai, have always only obeyed the sect rules. Even if someone wants to punish me, they must do so according to the sect rules!"

The sharp retorts instantly brought the atmosphere to a fever pitch!

The disciples standing by and watching all gasped, their gazes towards Chu Luobai gradually shifting from pity to schadenfreude.

To dare to talk back to the elders like that, they really have a death wish.

As expected, Tian Huachi's expression darkened, and he began to circulate his spiritual energy, ready to make a move at any moment.

Chu Luobai gripped the sword talisman in her hand tightly. The sword talisman left to her by her master contained the purest sword intent of her master.

If activated, it can instantly kill any cultivator below the Mahayana stage!

I didn't think about using it to save Jiang Yuzhe in my past life, and I originally wanted to keep it as a memento in this life, but I didn't expect to use it again so soon.

Just as the atmosphere was about to explode, a familiar voice came from inside the hall.

"Everything requires evidence. No one would be happy to be unjustly accused of stealing someone else's opportunity, let alone a hot-blooded disciple of my Sword Sect. It's normal to ask a few more questions."

"Elder Tian, ​​why bother getting angry with a disciple?"

Zhao Yushi walked slowly out of the main hall with his hands behind his back, followed by four or five elders, including Gao Hong, the current head of the Sword Sect.

"Hmph, my Qingyun Sword Sect should not have such a disciple who does not know how to respect his teacher."

Tian Huachi snorted coldly, his face displeased, but he still stopped what he was doing.

As the oppressive aura dissipated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Luobai also lowered his hand from the sword hilt and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he now has the system and sword talisman to protect him, he is not afraid of Tian Huachi, who is only at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm.

But if a real fight breaks out, he, as the 'disciple,' will ultimately not have much of a reason to stand out, and Gao Hong might even use it as an excuse to attack him.

"What do you mean by 'unjustified'? Elder Zhao should have heard it clearly just now, so don't deliberately show favoritism."

Gao Hong flicked his sleeves, stood coldly at the front, and said loudly.

"Chu Luobai, disciple of Xiaoyao Peak, you deliberately stole the innate spirit beast Chenghuang, which was contracted by your fellow disciple Jiang Yuzhe, in the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm. Do you admit to the crime of maliciously stealing opportunities?"

It was Jiang Yuzhe?

Chu Luobai subconsciously looked up in Jiang Yuzhe's direction, and the moment their eyes met, Jiang Yuzhe quickly lowered his head.

I thought I had avoided the situation of fighting with Mu Yurou for the yolk egg in my previous life, but I didn't expect that Jiang Yuzhe would take advantage of the loophole.

Chu Luobai withdrew his gaze, clasped his hands together, and gave a slight bow to the many elders at the entrance.

"Disciple Chu Luobai does not acknowledge this."

"You won't admit it? Now that the evidence is irrefutable, if you confess sooner, I will consider your contributions to the sect and give you a lighter punishment."

"But if you remain obstinate, don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Gao Hong's expression darkened slightly, and the threat in his tone was obvious.

After saying that, he glanced sideways at Zhao Yushi, who stood beside him with a calm expression, and cursed inwardly.

“If Zhao Yushi hadn’t come uninvited, he would have already ordered his men to capture Chu Luobai. There would have been no need for so much nonsense.”

Using the same methods as in his previous life only made Chu Luobai find it amusing.

These people really can't come up with anything new.

"May I ask, where is this so-called conclusive eyewitness testimony and physical evidence?"

"You can't just take Jiang Yuzhe's claim that I stole his Chenghuang as evidence, can you?"

At the same time, a familiar, cold, mechanical voice echoed in Chu Luobai's mind.

[Ding, system task issued: Please resolve this crisis without using force.]

[Quest Reward: 1 High-Grade Spirit Fruit Sapling]

No use of force?

A hint of doubt crossed Chu Luobai's mind.

The moment the system voice sounded, she was a little worried that the system would give her a mission to kill Gao Hong.

Unexpectedly, the system assigned me this kind of task.

And this reward...

Seemingly sensing Chu Luobai's confusion, the system took the initiative to explain, which was quite unusual.

"Host, there are many people here. You need to act in accordance with your identity and the behavior expected of a disciple of a righteous sect."

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow slightly and couldn't help but tease him.

“When I dealt with Lancang before, you didn’t remind me that I was a disciple of a righteous sect.”

"Host, there are only three types of cultivators in this world to you: seniors with higher cultivation than you, fellow cultivators with similar cultivation levels, and ants with lower cultivation levels than you."

"When facing ants, you don't need to tell them your identity."

The system responded quickly, adding one more sentence at the end.

“If your current cultivation level is at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, I would only suggest that you kill Gao Hong and the others who offended you.”

That's true...

Chu Luobai felt gratified. This was truly a rare occurrence; from the very beginning, she had aligned herself with the system's views.

..........

"You really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Since you want evidence, I'll give it to you, so I won't have a reputation for bullying my disciples in the future!"

As Gao Hong spoke at the entrance of the main hall, he waved to the three people on his left.

“Xiao Xuancheng, a disciple of Qingyun Peak, and Mu Yurou, a disciple of Xiaoyao Peak, can both serve as witnesses. As for physical evidence, isn’t it right on you?”

Xiao Xuancheng stepped forward at the opportune moment.

“Disciple Xiao Xuancheng accidentally witnessed Chu Luobai snatching Chenghuang, the innate spirit beast that Junior Brother Jiang was contracting, in the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm. He even deliberately knocked Junior Brother Jiang into the river, almost causing him to lose his life.”

After listening, Gao Hong nodded slightly and continued to ask.

"Xiao Xuancheng, can you take responsibility for what you said today?"

"This disciple is willing to swear a great oath against the demons of the heart, to prove that everything this disciple has said today is what this disciple has personally witnessed!"

The Great Oath of the Inner Demon!

Upon hearing these four words, even the disciples who were considered elites of the sect couldn't help but change their expressions.
