Chapter 192: She Is a Cold-Hearted Liar
When the other sects were secretly getting ready to stir up trouble, Yu Zhao finished her first match and walked down from the Dueling Platform.

She glanced at Yao Wu Jiand Si Tu Xuan’s opponents. After she made sure they could win their match, she went to the other side to watch the Sect Competition.

In this round, the Five Elements Dao Sect team led by Zhou Jin Yue was facing Wending Pavilion’s First Echelon. That team was formed by the Pavilion Master’s first disciple Yan Shan and second disciple Qi Qi.

This was, after the match between Heavenly Sword Sect and Tai Bai Academy, the second clash between the First Echelons of two major sects. There were many people watching, most of them disciples of Wending Pavilion.

“First Senior Brother, go for it!”

“Senior Sister Qi, get up there and crush them!”

“Wending Pavilion will win! First Senior Brother will win!”

The Five Elements Dao Sect disciples refused to be outdone when they heard that. They shouted loudly to cheer for their own people. The air on and off the Dueling Platform was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

When Yu Zhao came over, the match was already near its end.

Wending Pavilion’s top disciples were, of course, strong. But when they faced Zhou Jin Yue, Zhang Jun, and the others, they were still a bit weaker.

After half an incense stick of time, Wending Pavilion’s disciples were knocked one after another off the Dueling Platform, and Five Elements Dao Sect won.

The proud cheers of the Five Elements Dao Sect disciples went on and on.

The Wending Pavilion disciples were upset, but not too sad. After all, the result had been within their expectations from the start.

On the other side, Fang Cheng Lang and his group also won their match smoothly.

Quan Ye stood on the Dueling Platform and laughed loudly: “I thought they would be so strong, but they were only like this.”

All the other teams were made up of Golden Core cultivators. Only their team had someone at Late Foundation Establishment. He had thought the match would be very hard, but it turned out to be even easier than he had imagined.

Lan Zi Yu and Su Ming had proud smiles at the corners of their eyes and brows too.

The match had gone so smoothly that their confidence swelled to an extreme.

Su Ming even wrapped an arm around Ye Cong Xin’s shoulders and praised her: “Junior Sister, you really are our lucky star.”

Ye Cong Xin gave a shy smile: “Third Senior Brother, you praise me too much. I’m already very happy that I didn’t drag everyone down.”

“You’re too modest. You already did very well,” Su Ming said.

Quan Ye let out a cold snort and said: “Junior Sister, you really should learn from that fake and her thick skin.”

Fang Cheng Lang, who had not spoken this whole time, suddenly let his eyes turn cold: “Quan Ye, this is my last warning to you. Don’t let me hear you call Yu Zhao a fake again, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

Lan Zi Yu and the others were already used to Fang Cheng Lang standing up for Yu Zhao, but they still felt a bit confused when they heard him threaten Quan Ye.

[What is First Senior Brother doing now?]

“First Senior Brother! It was fine when you wouldn’t let me go look for Yu Zhao before, but now I can’t even say her name? Do you have some weakness in her hands or something?”

Quan Ye was now almost suspecting that his First Senior Brother had also been replaced by an impostor. Otherwise, why had he become so unreasonable and so hard to talk to?

“Even if Yu Zhao left Lone Moon Peak, she is still our Junior Sister.”

As soon as Fang Cheng Lang thought of the scene of Yu Zhao’s death, he could not stop himself from feeling anger toward everyone, including himself.

If Yu Zhao had really died at their Master’s hands, then every one of them was a murderer.

He finally understood why Cui Jue, after he could no longer be an alchemist, had not felt even the slightest bit of resentment.

Cui Jue was truly trying to atone for himself.

And he himself…

Fang Cheng Lang clenched his fists.

After what had happened with Yao Wuji, Yu Zhao probably hated him to the bone. He had no face to go ask for her forgiveness again.

He could only atone for his sins in other ways.

Clearing Yu Zhao’s name was one of those ways.

There had been no Body-Seizing and no replacement.

Yu Zhao was Yu Zhao.

“She is not our Junior Sister. She is a cold-hearted, heartless liar!”

Quan Ye stared with angry, wide eyes.

First Senior Brother was wrong. He knew Yu Zhao the best!

The real Yu Zhao could not beat him in a fight.

She also would never want to leave Lone Moon Peak.

Because Yu Zhao had said that as long as Master and her Senior Brothers were there, Lone Moon Peak was her home.

Even if there were conflicts and misunderstandings between them, she would not abandon her own family.

So this Yu Zhao had to be fake.

Buzz –

Cold light burst from Fang Cheng Lang’s eyes, and the sword in his hand hummed.

Lan Zi Yu and Su Ming were so scared they jumped.

They were still standing on the Dueling Platform right now, with so many pairs of eyes watching them.

If they really started fighting, Five Elements Dao Sect would become a joke in everyone else’s eyes.

Lan Zi Yu took a step forward to block Fang Cheng Lang’s line of sight. With his other hand, he pressed down on Fang Cheng Lang’s arm, hinting at him to calm down.

Su Ming grabbed Quan Ye’s arm, trying to drag him down off the platform.

Quan Ye got stubborn. His feet were planted firmly in place, and he just refused to move. Su Ming was so angry he almost wanted to kick him off the Dueling Platform.

In the end, it was Ye Cong Xin who stepped in. After a lot of soft and hard words, she finally talked him into leaving.

Some people noticed the interaction between them, but they did not know what was going on, so they did not think much of it.

Sect Master Ji Yuan, however, wiped away a handful of cold sweat.

Right now he did not feel at ease about the people from Lone Moon Peak at all. He was afraid that if he did not watch them closely, they would all lose control together.

At least Master Qing Yan could still keep the bigger picture in mind. With these young hotheads, who knew what they might do.

No, he had to find someone to warn them.

So Fang Cheng Lang and the others, who had just returned to their room for a short while, were called out again.

Zhou Jin Yue’s face was serious as she said: “I don’t care what kind of grudges there are between you. There is only one rule. You are not allowed to fight inside Wending Pavilion. Once you go back to Lone Moon Peak, you can fight however you like, and no one will stop you. Do you understand?”

Fang Cheng Lang had just been scolded by Zhou Jin Yue three days ago, so he had no face to talk back now.

Lan Zi Yu and the others, though, were not in such a good mood.

In Five Elements Dao Sect, the Main Peak and Lone Moon Peak had almost the same status. In the last few years, Lone Moon Peak had even faintly pressed down Main Peak’s momentum.

They were all Personal Disciples. Why did they have to follow Zhou Jin Yue’s orders?

Also, Zhou Jin Yue’s bossy tone made them very unhappy.

It felt like if they listened to Zhou Jin Yue, they would be a whole head lower than Main Peak.

Zhou Jin Yue also saw what they were thinking and gave a cold laugh: “When you go out, you are not representing Lone Moon Peak. You are representing Five Elements Dao Sect. If it weren’t for the sect’s reputation, do you think I want to bother managing you?”

After she finished, she looked at Fang Cheng Lang again and said with deep meaning: “The people of Lone Moon Peak have always been under your care. Don’t make the same mistake again.”

Fang Cheng Lang’s face was bitter, and he had no way to argue. He could only watch Zhou Jin Yue leave.

“First Senior Brother, the people from Main Peak are already climbing on top of our heads, and you still act so timid. You’re really making Lone Moon Peak lose face!”

Quan Ye had always been straightforward. Whatever he thought, he said. He could not hold anything in.

Before he went into the Cliff of Reflection, Lone Moon Peak had been the most dazzling in Five Elements Dao Sect. The people of Main Peak had been very polite to them.

But after he came out, the status of Lone Moon Peak and Main Peak seemed to have switched.

Now First Senior Brother was being scolded so badly he did not even dare lift his head. In a few more years, Lone Moon Peak might become nothing more than an attachment to Main Peak.

“Quan Ye, apologize to First Senior Brother!”

Quan Ye’s wild words made Lan Zi Yu frown tightly.

No matter how confused First Senior Brother might be, he was still their First Senior Brother. They could not mess up the order between senior and junior.

“I won’t!” Quan Ye glared with bull-like eyes. “Just now Senior Sister Zhou from Main Peak clearly said we can’t fight. I really want to see if First Senior Brother has the guts to go against Senior Sister Zhou’s wishes.”
