He took a deep breath and firmly shook his head, “No need, thank you.” His voice was cold and resolute, as if rejecting all help.
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded with understanding. “Alright then, we’ll part ways here~” With that, she turned and left, her steps light and carefree.
However, just as Yun Xiaoxiao was about to step out of the cave, she suddenly paused and looked back at Jiang Yubai. She smiled faintly and casually tossed two bottles of pills behind her, “To treat the hidden illness in your body.” Her voice was calm and gentle, as if she were doing something trivial.
Jiang Yubai instinctively reached out and caught the two pill bottles. He lowered his head, staring at them with a flash of confusion and thought in his eyes. His expression grew complex as he looked down, lost in his own thoughts. Then, as if something ridiculous crossed his mind, the corners of his lips curled into a half-smile. Without hesitation, he swallowed the pills Yun Xiaoxiao had given him.
Not long after, Jiang Yubai felt a surge of pure medicinal energy rising within him, quickly coursing through his meridians and Dantian. He sensed a powerful force repairing his injured body. He was secretly amazed at how miraculous the effects of these pills were, leaving him deeply shocked.
The quality of these pills was not inferior to those refined by Liu Liyue! In fact… it could be said! Compared to that ungrateful white-eyed wolf Liu Liyue, they were even better.
As expected, Liu Liyue was nothing but trash!
Jiang Yubai seized the moment and began meditating to refine the medicinal effects…
At the same time.
Far away in the Longevity Sect, a storm was quietly brewing. Ye Yunshang issued a kill order under the name of the Longevity Sect that shook the entire cultivation world.
The news spread like a bomb—blasting through the cultivators of Eastern State!
Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden notice, unsure of what to do.
The words “Kill Order” stirred countless doubts and confusion in people’s hearts.
After all, in everyone’s impression, Jiang Yubai had always been a top-tier talent! Young and accomplished, he had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. He was gifted and powerful beyond his peers.
Even more astonishing—
He possessed the legendary Dao Bone and Sword Heart, something unseen in a thousand years!
Otherwise, how could someone so young have been sent to suppress the Demonic Cavern?
Had Ye Yunshang taken the wrong medicine?
How could such a peerless genius suddenly become the target of a kill order by the Longevity Sect?
What secret was hidden in all this?
Not only that, many of Jiang Yubai’s Junior Sisters also stepped forward to speak out, led by Mu Xueqi. They expressed their anger toward Jiang Yubai’s actions and accused him of committing numerous vile acts within the Longevity Sect! This chapter is updated first at g.com.
These acts included disrespecting his elders and beating up fellow Junior Brothers!
Fairy Xueqi had many well-known supporters in Eastern State’s cultivation world, so her words were quite convincing. Her statements drew a lot of attention and agreement.
Many people started to believe her, harboring suspicion and disgust toward Jiang Yubai.
However, not everyone believed these accusations without doubt. Naturally, some voices differed.
In short, opinions varied wildly and there was no consensus.
Still, the Longevity Sect wasn’t some small sect.
Since their sect master had spoken, many small sects dared not comment!
The authority and status of the Longevity Sect led most people to remain silent.
However, things were different for some major sects!
For instance, at this moment—
An elder from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect spoke up, “Sect Master Ye… I heard that kid Yubai had just returned from the Demonic Cavern when you dragged him into the main hall for interrogation. Is that true?”
Ye Yunshang glanced at the man before her, who looked as though he was watching a show, and had no intention of responding. Unfortunately, this elder from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect seemed blind to others’ expressions and kept seeking attention.
“Aiya, Sect Master Ye, they say women can’t run things, and you’re proving it true. That kid Yubai was such a good child, and you’ve forced him into this? You, a sect master, are now issuing a kill order on your own disciple? How does that make sense? Back then, our Ten Thousand Sword Sect asked for that kid, and you refused no matter what! Now you’re suddenly willing to part with him…? What? You think your new little disciple is more talented than Yubai? I mean seriously…”
The crowd had mixed expressions upon hearing these words.
This old man really dared to speak!
But it was true—the Ten Thousand Sword Sect was known as a gathering place for sword cultivators.
And sword cultivators… tend to have hot tempers…
So this wasn’t entirely unexpected.
As this elder rambled on, Ye Yunshang’s expression grew darker and darker.
At that moment, an elder from Qingyun Sect quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, “Hehe, Brother Lu, you’re too much… you sword cultivators do speak rather bluntly…”
Ye Yunshang couldn’t be bothered to listen to the rest.
These old turtles had such awful mouths!
Who among them wasn’t a sword cultivator!?
Just as Ye Yunshang was about to speak, a bell-like laugh suddenly rang out from outside the main hall.
Everyone looked toward the source and saw a woman dressed in red approaching. A delicate bell hung from her waist, chiming sweetly with her every move. She walked slowly, a faint smile on her face, with a hint of cunning and confidence in her gaze.
Looking closely—?!
Ye Yunshang frowned, “Who are you? Do you have a formal invitation?”
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled gently and said, “What? The Longevity Sect invited all sects under heaven to discuss matters—am I not allowed to attend?”
Her tone carried a hint of provocation.
Ye Yunshang snapped, “You—”
Just then, a voice laced with laughter echoed from afar, “Hehehe, Sect Master Ye, what impressive authority you have! You just kicked out a disciple, and now you’re putting on airs with our Demon Sect’s Saintess?”
That remark was far from polite!
As soon as the words landed, the entire hall was stunned—!!!
Demon Sect?!
Faces changed. Some looked shocked, others wary, and a few were simply curious.
Ye Yunshang suppressed her anger, “…Our Longevity Sect didn’t send an invitation to the Demon Sect, did we?”
The man didn’t seem offended. In a flash, he appeared in the main hall.
He wore black, with a flaming red mark between his brows, like burning fire that added an air of mystery and majesty. His gaze swept across the hall before landing on Ye Yunshang. The corners of his lips lifted into a mocking smile.
He first bowed to his sect’s Saintess.
Then, with an air of arrogance, he chose a seat, personally invited their Saintess to sit, and plopped down beside her himself.
Watching this Demon Sect envoy’s unceremonious behavior, the people present were all calculating something in their minds.
