"What? That traitor is so arrogant! He actually wants me to go to Xianyang in person to discuss things with him?"

Inside the main hall of the Jade Purity Sect, Luo Hongyan stared wide-eyed at the male disciple who had returned to report, her delicate body trembling slightly with anger.

Her magnificent white robe fluttered in the wind, and her cascading black hair gently brushed against her fair face, making her stunningly beautiful features appear even more furious.

Those eyes, which were once clear as water, were now burning with raging fury, as if they could burn everything to ashes.

The male disciple standing below felt the sect leader's oppressive aura, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. However, he still braced himself and said, "Reporting to the sect leader, that... that senior brother did indeed instruct me to pass on the message."

Luo Hongyan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and her cold snort was like a thunderclap. She lightly raised her fair wrist, which was as white as mutton fat jade, and her wide long sleeves danced with it.

In an instant, an incomparably powerful spiritual force, like a tidal wave, surged out from her body. This spiritual force seemed to transform into a ferocious beast, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced in all directions.

A series of cracking sounds rang out as the neatly arranged tables and chairs shattered instantly under the impact of this terrifying force, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Everyone present was startled and quickly stepped back, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"What an arrogant and rebellious traitor!"

Luo Hongyan raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Back then, I spared his life out of consideration for our master-disciple relationship, thinking he would repent and start anew."

"I never imagined that he would dare to provoke me so brazenly today; it's simply unforgivable!"

Upon hearing this, the other elders exchanged glances, their faces showing surprise and confusion.

They clearly hadn't expected that the disciple who had been slandered would cause such trouble again.

However, at this moment, the Grand Elder, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a cold laugh.

The First Elder's lips curled up slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and he slowly said, "Hehe, it's fortunate that you, Sect Master, were merciful and spared his life back then, otherwise our Jade Purity Sect would probably have ceased to exist long ago."

After saying that, he shook his head slightly, seemingly quite disapproving of Luo Hongyan's decision back then.

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's words, Luo Hongyan's face grew even more gloomy. "Grand Elder, what do you mean by that? Do you think that traitorous disciple is not only not wrong, but actually right?"

The elder, with his hands behind his back, strode forward and sneered, "Isn't that so?"

"If it weren't for your favoritism towards Ye Fan and neglect of Qin Yichen all these years, Sect Master, how could things have turned out this way?"

"Now, Qin Yichen is the high and mighty Prince Jin of the Great Qin Dynasty. If it weren't for your favoritism, my Yuqing Sect would also rise to prominence."

"It's nothing like now, where I'm constantly on edge, fearing his revenge one day."

The elders all nodded in agreement.

Luo Hongyan bit her lower lip, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then, in the opinion of the Grand Elder, what should we do?"

The First Elder's gaze was profound. "First, severely punish Ye Fan to show the attitude of the Jade Purity Sect. Then, Sect Master, you should personally go to Xianyang to find a way to reconcile with Qin Yichen."

Luo Hongyan frowned, feeling unwilling but knowing that this was the safest option at present. "Then let's do as the Grand Elder says."

Luo Hongyan summoned a disciple and ordered him to bring Ye Fan to the sect's main hall.

Before long, Ye Fan was brought in under guard. He stood tall and straight, his eyes resolute, showing no fear.

"Ye Fan, do you know your mistake?" the Grand Elder asked.

"What wrong have I done?" Ye Fan replied calmly.

"You angered Qin Yichen and put the sect in danger. Even now, you still don't know you're wrong?" the Grand Elder roared.

Ye Fan ignored him completely and turned to Luo Hongyan, saying pitifully, "Master, the truth of what happened back then is still unclear. You can't easily believe other people's slander."

"The Grand Elder is clearly trying to punish me because of Qin Yichen's influence. This disciple is not convinced."

Luo Hongyan looked troubled, her gaze towards Ye Fan filled with reluctance, her red lips opening and closing.

"fart!"

The elder glared at him angrily, "What kind of thing are you? You cry all day long, like a woman. I, the elder, would not target you just to curry favor with those in power."

After saying that, he turned to Luo Hongyan and urged, "Sect Master, do not hesitate. If Ye Fan is not punished, it will be difficult to quell Qin Yichen's anger. You do not want to ruin the Jade Purity Sect's foundation of thousands of years because of Ye Fan, do you?"

Luo Hongyan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Ye Fan, I know you have been wronged, but the situation is serious, so I have no choice but to punish you first."

"Ye Fan, a disciple of the Jade Purity Sect, was young and ignorant. Due to his carefree nature, he repeatedly wronged Qin Yichen. Now, I, the Lord, am restoring order and punishing Ye Fan with three thousand Thunderfire Whips. I hope this will serve as a warning!"

Ye Fan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Master, you really don't trust your disciple?"

Luo Hongyan turned her head away and refused to look at him again.

"What are you still doing?"

The Grand Elder glared at the Enforcement Elder and shouted, "Immediately carry out the Sect Master's order!"

Helpless, the elder in charge of law enforcement crackled with lightning and lashed out fiercely at Ye Fan with his long whip.

With the first lash, Ye Fan groaned as his clothes tore on his back, revealing a bloody welt.

Luo Hongyan clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

No matter how heartbroken Ye Fan was, no one spoke up to stop her.

After all, what does a little affection matter compared to one's life?

As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.

Ye Fan naturally knew what everyone present was plotting.

When he realized that his desperate pleas for mercy could not change the situation, he could only grit his teeth and silently endure the merciless lashes of the Thunderfire Whip.

However, just as he raised his head to look at Luo Hongyan, a barely perceptible deep resentment and hatred flashed across the depths of his eyes.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment, as the intense pain quickly overwhelmed it.

The Thunderfire Whip rained down on Ye Fan's body like a storm, each lash carrying an incomparably sharp force and producing a crisp, ear-piercing sound.

One lash after another, as if there were no end in sight.

And so it went on for a very, very long time…

Finally, after three thousand lashes, the torture finally came to an end.

You should know that if an ordinary person with no cultivation were to endure such a violent beating, they would probably have been whipped into a pile of mangled minced meat long ago!

Even Ye Fan, who possessed a certain level of cultivation to protect himself, was now covered in wounds and blood.

His skin was torn open all over his body, revealing hideous wounds from which blood gushed out, staining the ground beneath his feet red.

In some places, the skin and flesh have been completely torn open, and the white bones inside can be clearly seen.

It's so tragic that it can't be described with just one word.

It's really satisfying.
