Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

A few days later, news of Wu Feilong's return to Muchuntang reached Jin Liang. Jin Liang was furious and cursed, "Damn it, so many disciples have been lost, and he's still alive!" He then looked at his disciple Lei Shan and said, "Pass down the order to have the disciples prepare to raze Muchuntang to the ground."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lei Shan had barely stepped out of his room when suddenly, a disciple came running towards him in a panic, staggering. Before he could even catch his breath, he cried out, "Sect Leader! That...that Sun Kang is here!"

Upon hearing this, a fierce glint flashed in the sect leader's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Perfect timing! Today, I'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!" As he spoke, the sect leader's figure flashed, and he had already arrived at the martial arts arena of the Blazing Sun Sect. At this moment, many disciples had already moved in response and surrounded Wu Feilong.

Just then, a commotion arose from the crowd. Jin Liang strode over. The surrounding disciples, seeing this, instinctively stepped aside, making way for him. Jin Liang approached, his gaze fixed on Wu Feilong, his hatred almost unbearable, so intense that his teeth clenched together: "Hmph! I never expected you to dare walk right into our trap! Men, seize him immediately! Let him taste the eighteen cruel tortures of the Lieyang Sect!"

However, facing the onslaught of the crowd, Wu Feilong remained fearless. He calmly pulled a token from his robes and held it high above his head. The token was entirely black, engraved with a blazing flame symbol—exactly identical to the emblem of the Blazing Sun Sect!

Upon seeing the token, a sharp-eyed elder exclaimed in surprise, "This...isn't this the sect leader's token? How did it fall into this person's hands?"

"Could it be true that the rumors about the sect leader's token being lost were true?" Another elder also looked shocked.

"So it seems that the position of sect leader is indeed somewhat illegitimate..." For a moment, the disciples whispered among themselves, discussing the matter.

Upon hearing these words, Jin Liang's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. However, he was quick-witted and his eyes darted around as he came up with a plan. He quickly shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! This token was originally kept within the sect. It was just that we accidentally lost it when we sent people to hunt down this thief last time!"

"Oh, I see!" someone exclaimed in sudden realization.

“I was wondering why the token ended up in the hands of an outsider. It’s really puzzling!” another person said, frowning.

......

At this moment, Wu Feilong's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Hmph, you've got some nerve! Since you're so stubborn, then let me show you my power!" As soon as he finished speaking, he began to mobilize his inner energy, continuously gathering it on his right index finger. In an instant, his index finger shone with a dazzling light, as if containing boundless power.

Immediately, Wu Feilong's gaze locked onto a massive stone pillar beside him, and he uttered a soft shout: "Starfire Finger!" Instantly, a blazing flame shot out from his index finger like a laser beam, striking the stone pillar with lightning speed and unerring accuracy. A deafening roar followed, and the stone pillar shattered instantly, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

"This...this is the sect leader's divine power, the Starfire Finger!" a disciple stammered, his face filled with disbelief.

"My God, its power is so strong!" Another disciple gasped in amazement.

Among the crowd, the lower-ranking disciples were filled with suspicion. The Blazing Sun Sect had an ancient, ironclad rule: seeing a token was equivalent to seeing the sect leader. Yet now, the sect leader didn't possess a token, which was in the hands of an outsider. Even more astonishing was that this outsider had displayed a peerless divine ability—the Starfire Finger—that only the sect leader could master. For a moment, the disciples were bewildered and at a loss, completely unable to understand what had happened.

At this moment, Jin Liang was still unwilling to give up and continued to argue illogically: "This thief must have stolen our sect's secret techniques when he sneaked into our sect last time! Everyone, please don't be fooled by him!"

Wu Feilong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he said loudly, "Since you insist that I stole something, then let's ask whose treasure I stole? If anyone really thinks I stole it, then feel free to step forward and show some evidence!"

Just then, a man stepped out from the crowd—it was the highly respected elder Pei Hu. He respectfully clasped his hands in a salute to Jin Liang and said, "Sect Leader, if you can demonstrate that legendary technique or treasure on the spot, we will all have complete faith in you."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the disciples present shouted in unison, "Please, Sect Leader, perform! Please, Sect Leader, perform!" The sound was like a tidal wave, deafening.

However, Jin Liang was secretly lamenting his predicament, because he knew nothing about cultivation techniques or treasures. He had clearly instructed his disciples to search for that mysterious inheritance, but unexpectedly, Wu Feilong had obtained it by chance.

Jin Liang knew he absolutely couldn't let this issue drag on, or the consequences would be unimaginable if he were exposed. So, his eyes darted around, and he quickly shouted, "Quiet down! Don't forget, this villain is the murderer who killed many of our sect's disciples! Perhaps some of them were your relatives or friends. Do you really want to accept such a heartless person as our sect leader?"

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent. Wu Feilong sneered and retorted righteously, "Sect Leader Jin, you truly know how to distort the truth and confuse right and wrong! It was you who attempted to kill me, completely disregarding the lives of others, and stubbornly led hundreds of disciples into that perilous Demon Beast Forest. But when the crucial moment arrived, you only thought of your own survival, abandoning those loyal disciples who followed you. Ultimately, they perished at the hands of the demon beasts. All the elders present at the time witnessed this and can testify to it!"

All the disciples turned their gazes to the returning elders, their faces filled with doubt and tension. Pei Hu sighed and said helplessly, "Alas, now that things have come to this, I really don't want to hide it from you all anymore. Yes, the truth is indeed as Sun Kang said."
