Chapter 1138: Chapter 1138: You Are Not Worthy!

After Fang Bai killed the Feng brothers, what worried Yang Ruojun the most was that the Xuannv Sect might suffer the consequences. Now that Qiu Heming had personally promised not to vent his anger on the Xuannv Sect, Yang Ruojun was overjoyed, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Steward Zhou, you stay behind and watch over them, there must not be any mistakes! All other elders and stewards of the Xuannv Sect, follow me to form a battle array and fight the enemy!"

Yang Ruojun quickly sealed the meridians of Linghu Qian Jiao and Linghu Baimei, rendering them temporarily immobilized. She then left a steward surnamed Zhou to guard the two women before issuing orders to Han Xingyu and the dozen or so senior members of the Xuannv Sect.

"Sect Leader, please don’t kill Brother Fang!"

Zhuge Lian saw the Sect Leader preparing to join forces with Qiu Heming against Fang Bai and couldn’t help being extremely anxious, pleading in a mournful voice.

Zhuge Lian had met Fang Bai in Purple Flame City and learned that he was entrusted by his father’s last words to look after her in the future. From that moment, she had come to regard Fang Bai as family. Now, seeing the senior members of the Xuannv Sect teaming up with Qiu Heming to attack Fang Bai, how could she bear it?

"Silence!"

Yang Ruojun turned sharply, glaring at Zhuge Lian, and said sternly, "If I don’t kill Fang Bai, the Xuannv Sect will face annihilation! Xiao Lian, you are a disciple of our sect, yet you plead for Fang Bai at every turn. How do you justify this?"

"I... I..."

In the Xuannv Sect, Zhuge Lian feared Yang Ruojun the most. Seeing her speak so fiercely, she stuttered, at a loss for words.

Yang Ruojun snorted coldly and said, "If you plead for Fang Bai again, you will be punished for the crime of betraying the sect!"

Zhuge Lian trembled all over, standing there dumbstruck, her expression filled with disbelief.

A disciple guilty of betraying the sect would be executed personally by the Elder of the Enforcement Hall, and posthumously bear an eternal stigma. Zhuge Lian never imagined that simply begging the Sect Leader to spare Fang Bai could bring about such a severe warning from the leader.

For a while, Zhuge Lian was full of grievances, and tears swiftly filled her beautiful eyes.

Zhuge Lian had grown up within the Xuannv Sect with no parents, considering it her home and treating every fellow disciple as family, cherishing every blade of grass and tree.

The former Sect Leader of the Xuannv Sect was kind and generous, beloved by all disciples, especially caring for Zhuge Lian, who had lost her parents. Zhuge Lian held her in her heart as if she were her mother.

The new Sect Leader Yang Ruojun, however, was greatly different from the former Sect Leader. Not only was she aloof and stubborn, but the disciples of the Xuannv Sect felt only awe toward her, lacking any sense of warmth. Even Zhuge Lian, who used to enjoy chatting with the old Sect Leader, had only spoken to her a few times.

Comparing the affectionate care of the old Sect Leader with the harsh warning of the new one, Zhuge Lian felt an enormous difference, resulting in feelings of loss and loneliness. She also missed her father, whom she had never met but who was no longer of this world, and her mother, who had disappeared after leaving her at the Xuannv Sect.

"If the old Sect Leader were here, she would never have been so harsh with me; if my parents were alive, I would go to them and not stay in the Xuannv Sect to suffer; even Brother Fang treated me much better than Sect Master Yang, by a hundredfold! But now, with the old Sect Leader passed away, my parents gone, and Brother Fang’s life hanging by a thread, what should I do?"

The more Zhuge Lian thought about it, the sadder she became, her shoulders shaking rapidly, weeping profusely.

Through her tear-blurred eyes, Zhuge Lian saw Yang Ruojun and the other senior members of the Xuannv Sect advancing toward the square.

"Xiao Lian, you... take care of yourself!"

Elder Han Xingyu looked at Zhuge Lian, who had already cried herself into a mess of tears, heaved a deep sigh, and flew up, catching up with Sect Master Yang and the others.

Elder Han Xingyu knew that today’s events had caused the Sect Master to develop a feeling of disgust towards Zhuge Lian, and that Zhuge Lian’s days in the sect would probably not be easy from now on. If he were to protect her, he too might fall into disfavor with the Sect Master.

On one side was the disciple of the sect that he cherished, and on the other was the overwhelmingly powerful Sect Master. Even though Elder Han Xingyu had the desire to protect her, he was powerless to do so.

More than a dozen top members of the Xuannv Sect flew towards Fang Bai, joining Qiu Heming in encircling him.

Qiu Heming and Fang Bai each brandished their Spiritual Artifacts, and after a fierce battle neither could gain the upper hand. Instead, more and more notches appeared on the stick in Qiu Heming’s hands. Anxious and uneasy, upon seeing Sect Master Yang leading the Xuannv Sect to help, his spirits lifted. He swung the Golden Crow Stick towards Fang Bai’s head with a chuckle, saying, "Heh, let’s see if you die this time, thief!"

Fang Bai parried the blow from Qiu Heming’s iron stick with his blade, utterly fearless, and laughed loudly, "Just with you lot, you’re not qualified!"

"Still so defiant when death is at your doorstep!"

Sect Master Yang let out a cold laugh, her eyes brimming with boundless murderous intent.

Fang Bai raised the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in his hand and pointed at Sect Master Yang, shouting loudly, "You old witch, not only have you imprisoned Qian Jiao and Baimei, but you’ve also gone against Xiao Lian’s wishes, forcing her into a marriage with a disciple of the Purple Flame Sect. You are overbearingly tyrannical and utterly shameless! I will settle this score with you today!"

With that, his gaze turned towards Elder Han Xingyu, tauntingly saying, "Elder Han, you said you’d hurry back to the Xuannv Sect to persuade the Sect Leader to release Qian Jiao and Baimei. Is this the result of your persuasion?"

"I... I..."

Elder Han Xingyu wore a look of shame and was at a loss for words, thinking to himself that he did indeed persuade the Sect Leader, but alas, the Sect Leader wouldn’t listen. What could I do?

Fang Bai said coldly, "Elder Han, we had some rapport in Purple Flame City after all. If you step back now, we can still be friends in the future. But if you join these people in standing against me, then don’t blame me for no longer being courteous!"

Facing Fang Bai’s piercing gaze that was sharp as lightning, Elder Han Xingyu thought of Fang Bai’s fierce battle against the powerhouses of the Purple Flame Sect in Purple Flame City, as well as his instant killing of Feng Shijun and Feng Shijie just moments ago, and she couldn’t help but feel awe-struck.

Actually, according to Elder Han Xingyu’s inner thoughts, she didn’t wish to be Fang Bai’s enemy, but as an Elder of the Xuannv Sect, if she withdrew from the encirclement, it would equate to betraying the Xuannv Sect, which was absolutely unacceptable to her.

After clenching her teeth, Elder Han Xingyu firmly said, "I am an Elder of the Xuannv Sect, and I should advance or retreat together with the disciples. Senior Bai, my apologies!"

"Stop wasting time with him, take action!"

Sect Master Yang, still trembling with rage after being called an "old witch" by Fang Bai, was filled with extreme hatred. Amidst her angry shouts, a Sword-Type Spirit Weapon was already tightly grasped in her hand. The long sword pointed forward, thrusting at Fang Bai.

At the same moment, more than a dozen senior members of the Xuannv Sect seemed to move as if with a shared consciousness, each brandishing their Sword-Type Spirit Weapons and stabbing towards Fang Bai.

Qiu Heming let out a long howl as his arms trembled lightly and his figure soared several meters into the air, leaping over the high-ranking members of the Xuannv Sect and smashing down viciously towards Fang Bai’s head.

The Golden Crow Stick in Qiu Heming’s hands was already several hundred pounds, and with Essence Energy poured into it, coupled with the momentum of striking from the air, this force of thousands of pounds came crashing down with tremendous force. Even though Fang Bai possessed the Chaos True Body with a formidable physical body, if he were struck squarely, he would still suffer greatly.
