Chapter 221: Did Master beat Master Qing Yan to death?
“You played my disciples in circles and turned them all against each other for your sake, Yu Zhao. What else do you want to do?”

The corners of Master Qing Yan’s eyes and brows were full of dislike and disgust for Yu Zhao.

After what happened with Fang Cheng Lang, he was even more certain that Yu Zhao was the source of all trouble.

As long as she was there, Lone Moon Peak would never be at peace.

Yu Zhao said calmly: “After this disciple left Lone Moon Peak, I behaved myself and stayed within my own bounds. I never took the initiative to contact any of my former fellow disciples or senior brothers. Instead, it was they who came to bother this disciple again and again. Master Qing Yan may ask them what they wanted from me.”

“If you were not deliberately provoking them, how would they shamelessly come looking for you?”

Fang Cheng Lang, Su Ming, and Quan Ye all lowered their heads in embarrassment.

The truth was, they really had gone to find Yu Zhao shamelessly, again and again.

Even when Yu Zhao repeatedly rejected them, they still treated it as a little girl throwing a temper tantrum.

“Master Qing Yan holds prejudice against this disciple. This disciple has nothing to say.”

Prejudice was like a huge mountain in someone’s heart. It could not be moved in a single day.

But why should Yu Zhao work so hard to make Master Qing Yan change his view of her?

Did Master Qing Yan really not know she was innocent?

He was simply too proud. He would rather stick to his mistake again and again than admit that he had been wrong.

“Do you have nothing to say, or are you at a loss for words because you know you are guilty?”

Master Qing Yan pressed her step by step. Sect Master Ji Yuan finally got angry.

“Qing Yan, stop making trouble here. Yu Zhao did nothing wrong from the start. Why are you forcing her to admit a mistake she did not make?”

The disciples saw Master Qing Yan and Sect Master Ji Yuan start to argue and all shrank their necks, not daring to make a sound. At once they understood why the other big sects had left so quickly without saying goodbye.

Master Qing Yan’s eyes were sharp: “Ji Yuan, Yu Zhao is my abandoned disciple. Must you insist on going against me?”

“Rubbish! Yu Zhao is a disciple of my Five Elements Dao Sect. She is not some abandoned disciple of yours!”

Sect Master Ji Yuan had been a sect master for many years. When he hardened his face, he did have some real authority.

Seeing Ji Yuan determined to oppose him, Master Qing Yan grew so angry he laughed. The cold light in his eyes grew stronger as spirit power surged around him. A terrifying pressure swept across the sky.

Sect Master Ji Yuan also truly lost his temper. The aura of a Divine Transformation cultivator burst out of him, and the two completely different kinds of power clashed in midair, making thunder-like booms.

Even though they tried to avoid the disciples on purpose, the scattered shockwaves were still enough to make the disciples’ blood churn.

Lan Zi Yu, who had still been unconscious, was forcefully woken up by the pressure from outside.

He opened his eyes in pain and saw Master Qing Yan and Sect Master Ji Yuan staring at each other with killing intent, like mortal enemies locked in a last stare.

He was so shocked he wanted to move away, but he found that all four of his limbs were tightly bound and he could not move at all.

When he looked down, he realized he was lying across Quan Ye’s back. Quan Ye was gripping his hands and feet tightly. Without even noticing it himself, he was using his own body to block most of the impact for Lan Zi Yu.

Lan Zi Yu was so angry he wanted to strangle the idiot under him.

On the other side, Master Qing Yan finally made his move.

“Rising Wave.”

He swept his sleeve.

The clouds and mist above the Endless Sea surged toward him and, in the blink of an eye, condensed into roaring waves. They rose up to form a three-zhang-high wall of water that pressed toward Sect Master Ji Yuan in the middle.

Sect Master Ji Yuan gave a great shout. He did not retreat. Instead, he strode forward straight into the sea wall, his fists as big as sandbags and faster than the oncoming waves.

As his right fist swung, a sharp howl split the air. The wild wind it brought up actually pushed the huge waves back several zhang.

In that earth-shaking roar, Sect Master Ji Yuan’s fist slammed into the sea wall.

His eyes shone with battle will, and his whole body gave off an unyielding aura.

“Explode!”

Boom, boom, boom!

The sea wall shattered on the spot, and countless waves splashed in all directions.

Yu Zhao and the others were instantly washed by a storm of wind and rain.

Behind the curtain of seawater, Sect Master Ji Yuan and Master Qing Yan clashed again.

With Yu Zhao’s eyesight, she could not see their movements at all. She had to split most of her attention just to resist the shockwaves from outside.

She looked a bit messy, but she could still barely hold on. The others did not look so good.

Besides the already injured Lan Zi Yu, Ye Cong Xin was the weakest in both strength and body among them. Even before Master Qing Yan and Sect Master Ji Yuan started fighting, she had already been struggling.

Right now, if not for Su Ming and Pu Xing He working together to shield her, she would have collapsed a long time ago.

The other two in terrible condition were, of course, Yao Wu Ji and Si Tu Xuan, who had refused to leave earlier.

Under the storm, the two of them could not even open their eyes. They were unable to move a step.

Wang Sheng hugged his head and curled up at Yao Wu Ji’s feet, shaking with fear.

Suddenly, the wind stopped, the rain ceased, and the mist scattered. A rare clear sky appeared over the Endless Sea.

Yu Zhao and the others cautiously opened their eyes and saw Sect Master Ji Yuan holding Master Qing Yan in his arms. He was shouting at the top of his lungs in panic: “Wu Sang! Wu Sang! Get over here!”

Everyone: ???

Zhang Jun said in disbelief: “Did Master beat Master Qing Yan to death?”

“Do not talk nonsense!”

Zhou Jin Yue snapped at Zhang Jun in a cold voice, then quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

[When did Master become this strong? Even Master Qing Yan is not his match. And has Master gotten so panicked that he forgot Sect Master Wu Sang already left with the Greenwood Sect disciples…]

Just as this thought crossed her mind, she saw Sect Master Wu Sang’s hurried figure suddenly appear at Sect Master Ji Yuan’s side.

“I am here, I am here, let me take a look!”

Everyone stared again in a daze.

Hadn’t Sect Master Wu Sang already left?

How did he come back the moment he was called?

Yu Zhao and Yao Wu Ji quietly exchanged a look.

Master Qing Yan’s old illness had probably relapsed.

“It was anger attacking his heart that caused his old illness to flare up again.”

After checking Master Qing Yan and feeding him a pill, Sect Master Wu Sang spoke to Sect Master Ji Yuan with a serious expression.

Sect Master Ji Yuan let out a regretful sigh.

He really should have swallowed his anger first and waited to return to the sect so the Grand Elder could make a judgment.

“When will he wake up?”

“Hard to say.”

Sect Master Wu Sang shook his head.

The last time he had treated Master Qing Yan, he had already said that Qing Yan’s illness could not stand stimulation and that he had to rest quietly.

Now that it had flared up again, there was nothing more he could do.

Sect Master Ji Yuan was so anxious his lips were almost breaking out in blisters. “What should we do, what should we do…”

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Yao Wu Ji, who looked like he had just been fished out of a pond.

“Junior Yao, do you know where Wanderer Bao Hua is?”

Yao Wu Ji shook his head: “This junior does not know, but I can try to contact my master.”

“Please, do your best to invite Wanderer Bao Hua to visit Five Elements Dao Sect.”

“This junior will do my best.”

In truth, Sect Master Ji Yuan also knew that even if Wanderer Bao Hua came in person, there might not be a better solution.

But a dead horse still had to be treated like a living one. He could not just stand there and watch Master Qing Yan lie half-dead. Since he was half responsible for this matter, he would not be able to explain himself to the sect after they returned if he did nothing.

“Everyone, get on the boat. We will return at once.”

Sect Master Ji Yuan could not wait any longer and summoned a flying boat.

Everyone knew the situation was urgent and did not dare delay. They quickly boarded.

Si Tu Xuan, Yao Wu Ji, Wang Sheng, and Sect Master Wu Sang also got on the flying boat together.

Very soon, the flying boat sped toward Five Elements Dao Sect.
