Chapter 161: Keep Your Junior Brother In Line
Quan Ye roared: “You are not Yu Zhao! Who are you? Get out of her body right now!”

Quan Ye ground his teeth, his face dark. A faint purple current flowed over his skin, crackling with thunder from time to time.

Ye Cong Xin stood beside him. Feeling the overwhelming pressure from his body, her face grew pale and her breathing quickened.

She whispered: “Fifth Senior Brother… I feel awful.”

He snapped: “Shut up!”

Unlike Fang Cheng Lang and the others, Quan Ye was not observant at all. He did not notice anything wrong with Ye Cong Xin; he only found her noisy.

Ye Cong Xin pressed her lips together in discomfort.

[There really isn’t a single normal person on Lone Moon Peak!]

[They are all idiots! Trash!]

[How can even a brainless guy like Quan Ye be favored by the Heavenly Dao? Heaven Above is blind!]

Quan Ye glared at Yu Zhao and shouted: “Do you think I will let you go just because you are not talking? I will personally drive you out of Yu Zhao’s body and see what you really are!”

Yu Zhao’s indifference only fueled his anger.

He let out a ferocious laugh, clenched his fingers into fists, and suddenly swung at Yu Zhao.

Thunder roared as he moved, shaking people’s hearts.

Yu Zhao did not dodge. She formed a hand seal with her right hand, and with a thought, several Illusory Realms spread out from her as the center.

Two voices shouted at the same time: “Stop!”

Just as Quan Ye was about to step into the Illusory Realm, two angry shouts rang out.

Before he could react, two forces slammed him down from midair and pinned him to the ground.

Bang!

The heavy crash made the whole place fall silent.

Two groups of people squeezed in from different directions outside the crowd.

When Yu Zhao saw the young woman on the right, the coldness on her face melted and she lifted the corners of her lips: “Senior Sister Zhou.”

Zhou Jin Yue hurried forward and nervously looked Yu Zhao over: “Are you alright? Quan Ye did not hurt you, did he?”

Yu Zhao answered with a slight smile: “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Yu Zhao smiled a little, thinking to herself that it was a pity.

[If Senior Sister Zhou had come one step later, she could have seen with her own eyes how I rub Quan Ye into the ground.]

Seeing that Yu Zhao was unharmed, Zhou Jin Yue let out a breath of relief. Only then did she notice that Yu Zhao’s cultivation level was the same as hers, also at the Late Golden Core Stage.

She was overjoyed and said: “Junior Sister Yu, you broke through!”

Zhang Jun arrived a step later, and his eyes almost fell out.

[Which Grand Adept’s Blessed Grotto-Heaven did Yu Zhao fall into? How did her cultivation level suddenly shoot ahead of mine!]

Yu Zhao said modestly: “I was just lucky.”

Fang Cheng Lang, Lan Zi Yu, and Su Ming had rushed over after getting the news. They watched Yu Zhao and Zhou Jin Yue catching up, complicated feelings in their hearts.

Yu Zhao had changed too much.

They hardly dared to recognize her.

Ye Cong Xin quickly spoke up: “First Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother is still lying on the ground. He looks very uncomfortable. We should let him go first.”

Ye Cong Xin could not stand everyone paying attention to Yu Zhao. She spoke up at just the right time and pulled Fang Cheng Lang and the others’ attention away.

Fang Cheng Lang glanced at Quan Ye on the ground and said coldly: “Quan Ye just finished his punishment and now he is causing trouble outside again. He deserves to be punished.”

Ye Cong Xin argued for him: “Fifth Senior Brother did not do it on purpose. He was worried about Senior Sister Yu too.”

Fang Cheng Lang said with meaning: “Junior Sister, blindly forgiving him will not help Quan Ye. It will only harm him.”

Ye Cong Xin’s heart tightened and she did not dare say more.

By this time, Zhou Jin Yue had finished greeting Yu Zhao. She looked at Fang Cheng Lang and warned him firmly: “Junior Brother Fang, keep the people of Lone Moon Peak in line. Yu Zhao is now an inner disciple of the sect. Do not let them bother her again, or I will handle it according to the sect rules.”

When Lan Zi Yu and Su Ming heard this, their eyes showed dissatisfaction and anger.

[Even if Yu Zhao left Lone Moon Peak, she still has countless ties to Lone Moon Peak. Why can’t we go see her!]

Fang Cheng Lang said calmly: “Senior Sister Zhou, don’t worry. I will restrain them.”

To everyone’s surprise, he agreed without any resistance.

He did not question her or try to bargain at all.

Zhou Jin Yue gave him a doubtful look, then took Yu Zhao and Zhang Jun back to the Main Peak.

Once the main characters left, there was no more fun to watch, so the other disciples scattered as well.

Only the people from Lone Moon Peak were left on the field.

As soon as the others left, Su Ming was the first to jump to his feet. He complained: “First Senior Brother, why did you agree to Senior Sister Zhou just now? Among the hundreds of rules in the Five Elements Dao Sect, is there any rule that says we cannot talk to Yu Xiao Zhao? Just because she is the First Senior Sister, can she use the sect rules to press us down?”

[This is an internal matter of Lone Moon Peak. Even the Sect Master has no right to interfere!]

Lan Zi Yu kept a cold face and did not speak, but his expression clearly showed that he agreed with Su Ming.

Fang Cheng Lang did not answer them. Instead, he turned to ask Ye Cong Xin: “Junior Sister, do you think so too?”

Su Ming and Lan Zi Yu immediately looked at Ye Cong Xin with hopeful eyes.

Ye Cong Xin hesitated for a moment, then decided on the safest answer: “I… I will listen to Senior Brother.”

Su Ming and Lan Zi Yu thought that Ye Cong Xin was on their side and were very happy.

But Fang Cheng Lang heard the unspoken meaning in Ye Cong Xin’s words.

He let out a faint, unreadable laugh and said: “Good. Since you listen to me, then from now on none of you are allowed to go to Yu Zhao again. Just act like you do not know her.”

“First Senior Brother!”

Lan Zi Yu, Su Ming, and Ye Cong Xin all stared at him in shock.

One could say that among them, Fang Cheng Lang had been the one who most wanted Yu Zhao to return to Lone Moon Peak.

Before, he had even stayed in the Marsh Forest and refused to return until he saw Yu Zhao.

However, ever since he had come back to the Five Elements Dao Sect with the injured Cui Jue, he had seemed like a different person. He never mentioned Yu Zhao, did not allow others to mention her, and now it had even reached the point where he would not let them talk to her.

Su Ming asked carefully: “First Senior Brother, did Yu Zhao say something to you, or did she do something to make you angry?”

Back then, when Yu Zhao had used Illusion Art to toy with him, he had been angry too and had wished he could hang her up and whip her a few times to vent his anger.

But that had been in the heat of the moment. Once his anger faded, he was no longer mad and still went out with First Senior Brother and the others to look for Yu Zhao.

He suspected that First Senior Brother had gone through something similar, which was why he was so angry now.

Fang Cheng Lang avoided the question and said sternly: “If you still recognize me as your senior brother, then do not disturb her again.”

Lan Zi Yu and Su Ming were very unwilling, but because of First Senior Brother’s usual prestige, they still agreed.

Ye Cong Xin kept her expression solemn, but inside she almost burst out laughing.

[Yu Zhao’s move of retreating to advance has completely failed.]

[It looks like Fang Cheng Lang has been hurt to the core by Yu Zhao and plans to give up on her completely.]

[Back then, she already angered Lan Zi Yu and Su Ming. Now she has also offended the only one who felt guilty toward her, Quan Ye. In this life, she can forget about ever stepping onto Lone Moon Peak again.]

Fang Cheng Lang said: “Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, I will leave Quan Ye in your care. You must teach him what it means to watch his words and deeds.”

Then Fang Cheng Lang left.

He left very decisively.

Lan Zi Yu and Su Ming looked at each other, unable to shake the strange feeling in their hearts.

First Senior Brother had never left the job of disciplining their junior brothers to them before. He had always done it himself.

First Senior Brother had changed too.

He had changed in a way that made them uneasy and unfamiliar.

[Can Lone Moon Peak ever become the Lone Moon Peak it used to be?]
