The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

"Hmph, I'll give you three days. If you don't send the person to the Myriad Saints Sect after three days, then your Qingyun Sect may as well cease to exist!"

Zhao Yan snorted coldly, glanced indifferently in the direction of Bamboo Peak, flicked his sleeves, turned around, and stepped into the air.

The disciples of the Wansheng Sect followed closely behind and disappeared into the horizon.

Seeing that the person had left, Yue Chongshan breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze turning gloomy as he looked towards the direction of Bamboo Peak, and then flew over on his sword.

Seeing this, the elders from the other peaks also gathered at Bamboo Peak.

Ruo Bingli's eyes narrowed slightly as she took the initiative to activate the array on Bamboo Peak.

Old Yue and the other five elders landed one after another.

Ruobing Li took a deep breath, about to speak, when she saw a petite figure blocking her way.

"Don't believe that man's lies. He and his son Zhao Wuji are the bosses behind the black market. Sect Master Du of Yunmiao Immortal Sect can testify to this."

"Ruoxue..."

Ruobingli stared in astonishment at the person before her, noticing that his hands were tightly gripping his cuffs, clearly terrified, yet he still stood firmly in front of her.

At that moment, the woman felt that everything was worthwhile, and she was deeply moved.

His gaze hardened, and he stepped forward to shield the person behind him.

"Everyone, the facts are as Ruoxue said. Of course, if you don't believe me, I will leave the sect, and then Zhao Yan will have no reason to seek revenge on Qingyun Sect."

Old Yue was still thinking about how to properly resolve this problem.

Handing the person over directly would damage my prestige as the sect leader.

But if they don't pay, what will the Qingyun Sect use to challenge the Wansheng Sect?

Although they are both among the four major sects of the Eastern Region, the other sect ranks first, while ours ranks last.

The Supreme Elder is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, the strongest in the Eastern Region. Our own cultivator, currently, is the one who caused this trouble—Ruo Bingli.

But Lao Yue estimated that Ruo Bingli was at most only half a step into the Divine Transformation Realm.

Putting aside the fact that this woman often doesn't take her position as sect leader seriously, it's not worth it for Qingyun Sect to go against Wansheng Sect for her sake, causing heavy losses.

But Ruo Bingli's words made his eyes light up.

Before he could even speak, a disciple flew over in a hurry.

"Sect Master, Sect Master Du of the Cloud Mist Immortal Sect requests an audience, saying he has important matters to discuss!"

Old Yue frowned, as if he had thought of something, glanced at Ruo Bingli, and gave the order.

"Please invite Sect Leader Du to the main hall on the main peak!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at the elders.

"Gentlemen, since you are all here, let's go and greet our guests!"

Soon, the group arrived at the main hall and took their seats.

A short while later, Du Yunyi entered with Fang Ziling and several guards.

"Fellow Taoists, long time no see!"

After exchanging a few polite greetings, and once Du Yunyi was seated, Yue Chongshan finally spoke up to ask her questions.

"May I ask what brings Sect Leader Du here today?"

Du Yunyi, who had just sat down, stood up again.

"Sect Leader Yue, may I have a word with you in private?"

Old Yue frowned, nodded suspiciously, and prepared to lead the person to the side hall.

“Ziling, come with me, and so will Fairy Bingli, as this matter is also related to you.”

Ruo Bingli nodded and followed.

The four of them talked inside, and when they came out, Lao Yue had a solemn expression on his face.

Du Yunyi smiled, as if she had achieved her goal.

Ruo Bingli, meanwhile, walked thoughtfully to her seat.

But as she passed by the Third Elder, she suddenly launched a sneak attack.

This sudden scene shocked everyone. By the time they reacted, the Third Elder had already been knocked to the ground and imprisoned.

"Please don't panic, everyone..."

Yue Chongshan thought that since the Third Elder was suddenly attacked, the other elders would lend a hand. He was about to speak up to stop Ruo Bingli the moment he saw her make her move.

However, they discovered that apart from being shocked, none of the other elders offered any help.

Uh... is the Third Elder really that unpopular?

Old Yue was unaware that his elders all harbored their own ulterior motives and would never actually lend a hand.

"Junior Sister Ruo, why did you attack me without provocation?"

The Third Elder lay on the ground, spitting blood, his shock genuine.

After their initial shock, the others also looked puzzled.

"Ji Yun, how long are you going to keep up this act? Your identity as a spy for the Myriad Saints Sect has been exposed!"

Old Yue slammed his fist on the table and angrily rebuked everyone, while also answering their questions.

"I truly never imagined that the frequent disappearances and abductions of my disciples by the black market were your doing!"

"Sect...Sect Master! What are you talking about?"

The Third Elder still looked shocked and innocent, then, as if remembering something, his gaze suddenly turned to Du Yunyi.

"Are you framing me? Sect Master, you can't trust outsiders' words!"

"Hehehe, it's actually very simple for Elder Ji to prove his innocence; he just needs to make a Heavenly Oath."

Du Yunyi offered her suggestion with a smile.

Ji Yun's expression changed, and he hesitated, his gaze darting away.

"This... the oath to Heaven is binding; how can it be made lightly?"

"Then we'll have to use another method: I'll search Senior Brother Ji's soul!"

If Bingli spoke, she walked up to the Third Elder and placed her hand on his crown.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Ji. If you are innocent, I will swear an oath to Heaven after the soul search that I will never reveal anything I see."

Having said all that, the Third Elder knew that denying it any longer was useless, and his face suddenly darkened.

"How do you know?"

His gaze fell on Du Yunyi.

“Our Yunmiao Immortal Sect naturally has its own intelligence channels.”

As she said this, her tone was full of pride, and her gaze swept almost imperceptibly over Su Qi.

"It is my fault that you have harmed so many outstanding disciples."

Yue Chongshan, looking grief-stricken, stepped forward and punched the Third Elder twice, then placed multiple seals on him.

"Yue Chongshan, have you thought this through? If you mess with me, you'd better be prepared for a full-scale war with the Wansheng Sect!"

"Pooh!"

For some reason, Lao Yue is particularly confident now.

"Those despicable people from the Ten Thousand Saints Sect are not worthy to be associated with us!"

He quickly stripped the Third Elder of his valuables and waved his hand.

"Take him down and keep an eye on him!"

This smooth and effortless maneuver made Su Qi's lips twitch.

That old Yue is a real genius!

Du Yunyi is still here. How could you, the dignified leader of a sect, do something so degrading in front of outsiders?

"Sect Master, aren't you going to tell us what's going on?"

Second Elder Gu Yuefei asked the question.

"Let me tell you!"

Du Yunyi stepped forward and briefly explained the situation.

Everyone was shocked by the shocking news: the Wansheng Sect, the righteous leader of the Eastern Region, was actually engaged in human trafficking in secret, not only raising its own disciples like pigs, but also extending its evil clutches to other sects.

"Thanks to Sect Leader Du, otherwise countless more disciples of my Qingyun Sect would have fallen victim to this evil! I swear I will never forgive such a crime!!!"

Old Yue is so confident now, of course, because he knows Ruo Bingli's true level.

Moreover, Qingyun Sect also has its trump cards. If Wansheng Sect goes too far, Lao Yue will release the one living in the forest next to the forbidden area in the back mountain!

In addition, Du Yunyi assured him that the Star Sword Sect would also provide support when the Ten Thousand Saints Sect attacked three days later.

You should know that the sword master of the Star Sword Sect hates the black market to the core.

Having learned that the Ten Thousand Saints Sect was actually the backer of the black market, he would not refuse this cooperation.

After all, his beloved daughter disappeared years ago because of the black market, and there has been no news of her since.
