Ou Yezi sipped his tea, his expression indifferent.

However, both of them felt as if they had plunged into an ice cave, wanting to escape, but unable to even take a step.

This was a crushing pressure from a higher cultivation level, the Sect Leader’s cultivation level crushed them, and their bodies’ instincts wouldn’t allow them any movement, effectively paralyzing them.

“Within the sect, who else has sided with the Evil Cultivator?”

Ou Yezi asked. In reality, there wasn’t anything inherently wrong with Evil Cultivators; they weren’t universally condemned. It was just that their methods were often brutish, and their fondness for slaughter led to them being labeled as Evil Cultivators.

The reason for his anger was that an Evil Cultivator had infiltrated his own Sect. There were those within his Sect who had pledged allegiance to an Evil Cultivator, which was absolutely intolerable. To dare undermine his Sect was to be prepared for obliteration.

In the Northern Region, the highest cultivation level among Evil Cultivators was only at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, similar to his own; there was no need to fear.

“No more…”

Yuan Fang’s heart shattered, having only exchanged a glance with Ou Yezi, he felt his Divine Soul burning into oblivion.

Such a cultivation realm was far beyond what he could look up to; today, he feared he would not escape death.

“Lying.”

Ou Yezi put down his teacup and gently placed a hand on Yuan Fang’s head. Instantly, Yuan Fang’s body convulsed violently, his eyes rolling back as the energy within him grew increasingly chaotic and his vital signs steadily weakened.

“So it is, so many within the sect have already pledged their loyalty. What is so appealing about this Evil Cultivator that you would serve him so faithfully?”

Ou Yezi carefully sensed for a moment, his brows deeply furrowed. He then released his hand, and Yuan Fang collapsed to the ground, pale and lifeless.

Yue Buqun’s face paled in shock: “This is the Soul-Searching Technique. You, as the Sect Leader, actually used such a forbidden practice. Aren’t you afraid of what your peers will think?”

“Soul searching, isn’t it something you often use too? Against you traitors who lack principles and bottom lines, mere soul searching is letting you off easy.”

Ou Yezi patted Yue Buqun on the shoulder, and in an instant, they both disappeared from the spot.

…

At the foot of the mountain, Li Xiaobai and the others walked slowly with the four men in tow.

More and more disciples gathered around, and Yue Fan felt overwhelmed by shame. He, a highly respected True Disciple, was now being paraded through the streets?

“Li Xiaobai, how dare you treat me this way. Master will not let you off!” Yue Fan howled.

Li Xiaobai kicked out: “Stop your whining and just walk.”

“Woof, you four are now Lord Ergouzi’s pets, you have no right to speak!” Ergouzi loved such grand spectacles and was extremely excited.

“Giggle, I’m simply walking my dogs, all idle bystanders should clear off.” Ji Wuqing said nonchalantly.

“Woof, who did you call a dog!”

“Giggle…”

Seeing this scene, the surrounding disciples were even more taken aback.

“Is that the newly honored Honorary Elder, Sect Master Ye?”

“Yes, that’s him. I didn’t expect Boss Ye to get into a conflict with a True Disciple like this.”

“What kind of deep grudge is this? If Senior Brother Yue gets released afterward, Boss Ye might be in trouble!”

“Didn’t Boss Ye say that Senior Brother Yue betrayed the Sect? He must have evidence, right?”

“Who knows? Let’s just watch. At times like this, we should be careful with our words.”

The spectators whispered among themselves, commenting how the newly-appointed Peak Master arrested a True Disciple right away; that was quite fierce.

It seems this could directly escalate the conflict between Misty Peak and Elder Yue.

Just then, a streak of light appeared in the sky, with Sect Leader Ou Yezi holding Yue Buqun aloft in the air, shocking onlookers into dropping their jaws.

The cultivators rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things. There Elder Yue was, being picked up by the Sect Leader as easily as a chick.

“Li Xiaobai, I’ve brought Elder Yue here. Now, tell us how these people have betrayed the sect,” Sect Leader Ou Yezi said with a smile. He had originally intended to root out the mole through Li Xiaobai, never expecting the disciple to be so competent as to capture the big fish himself, thus saving him a great deal of effort.

“All four of these men are subordinates of an Evil Cultivator. Before I came to the Holy Demon Sect, I had offended an Evil Cultivator. Now that these men have discovered me, they reported back to the Evil Cultivator, resulting in him imprisoning my former sect. I request Elder Yue to see through this,” said Li Xiaobai, not showing an ounce of weakness. With Elder Yue, the most likely boss, now captured by the Sect Leader, the Evil Cultivator shouldn’t receive the news in the short term.

“Elder Yue, what do you have to say?” asked Ou Yezi.

“Sect Leader, I absolutely have no intention of betraying the sect. This person is not called Ye Liangchen at all; his real name is Li Xiaobai. He has stirred up trouble with the Evil Cultivators of the Northern Region and now has come to our Holy Demon Sect. I was afraid that he would draw the Evil Cultivators’ attention towards Holy Demon Sect, which is why I wanted to expel him from the sect!”

“I have only the best interests of the sect at heart; I beg the Sect Leader to see clearly!” exclaimed an emotional Yue Buqun, filled with righteous indignation. If one didn’t know the truth, they might actually be deceived by him.

Li Xiaobai internally cursed the elder for being shameless. Even at a moment like this, the old man still managed to twist the narrative to claim he was acting for the good of the sect. His lack of shame was unparalleled.

“So you’re saying that I misunderstood you?”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“Elder Yue, tell me, in the Northern Region, how powerful are the most dangerous Evil Cultivators?”

“It would be Liu Mang at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage,” Elder Yue replied.

“Now, tell me, what is my cultivation level?”

“The pinnacle of the Tribulation Crossing Stage.”

“Then, do you really think I would fear the targeting of just an Evil Cultivator? Are you questioning my capabilities?”

“I wouldn’t dare!”

Elder Yue was internally collapsing. If he couldn’t get through today’s ordeal, he feared he might be separated by life and death.

“Now, tell me about the Immortal Feather Sect, why do you have people there? Speak the truth, or I’ll search your soul,” Ou Yezi said, still speaking calmly, but to Yue Buqun, it sounded like thunder striking down.

He realized that the Sect Leader was already aware of his deeds; the agents he had sent were secretly arranged, and even Yuan Fang was not informed, but the Sect Leader knew everything. This meant he had been watched all along.

He had thought he could deceive everyone, but all his actions were under control; thinking back, it was laughable.

Ou Yezi’s interrogation was probably just a formality for the sake of the disciples present.

“Sect Leader, this impostor has infiltrated our Holy Demon Sect; he doesn’t truly go by the name Ye Liangchen!” Yue Buqun answered wildly, seemingly going insane, spewing slander onto Li Xiaobai without restraint.

“He is called Li Xiaobai, I know. A name is just a code, isn’t it? Is it that important?”

Ou Yezi increased the pressure in his grip, and Yue Buqun’s arm burst open.

“Ah!”

A scream echoed throughout the sect, deeply shocking the disciples. The Sect Leader, who rarely made public appearances, demonstrated such a domineering side.

So then, does that mean Elder Yue, Senior Brother Yue, has indeed betrayed the sect?
