My disciple is not someone you can boss around.

Facing Ye Qiu's question, Qi Wuhui felt a twinge of 心虚 in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure. "Junior Brother Ye, your disciple is arrogant and disrespectful to her elders. If she is not properly disciplined, she will surely cause great trouble in the future. Seeing that you are in seclusion and have no time to discipline her, I am doing this out of kindness. Please don't take offense, Junior Brother."

"Oh? Is that so..." Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Even if my disciple has made any mistakes, it is still a matter within Zixia Peak. I will discipline her myself. It's not up to Senior Brother to interfere here, right? There are still people in Zixia Peak." As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura instantly spread. The expressions of the three people immediately changed.

"Hiss..."

"Master is actually so powerful?" Lin Qingzhu was greatly shocked in her heart. At first, she really thought that her master was only at the second level of the Mysterious Finger Realm, as rumored. Now, when she felt this terrifying aura, she was extremely shocked. What moved her even more was that Ye Qiu was standing up for her and directly confronting Qi Wuhui. You must know that this old guy was the second - most powerful person in the entire Butian Sect, second only to Meng Tianzheng.

"Master!" Lin Qingzhu was very touched. Looking at the figure in white in front of her, he seemed to be even taller and more imposing. She never expected that after experiencing the destruction of her family, thinking that no one in the world would treat her sincerely anymore, she would meet a master who was willing to protect her and stand up for her again. Lin Qingzhu opened her mouth, wanting to persuade Ye Qiu that the little grievance she had just suffered was actually nothing and that there was no need to offend Qi Wuhui for her sake. However, when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

At the moment when Ye Qiu released his aura, Meng Tianzheng cast a surprised look. "This aura! It faintly contains a trace of immortal charm. What is his cultivation level at this moment?"

"I can't believe that his strength is not as bad as rumored, yet he has endured ten years of humiliation and never explained anything. This person's state of mind is really terrifying. If it weren't for his disciple, I'm afraid he would continue to hide." Meng Tianzheng took a deep look at Ye Qiu and didn't open his mouth to stop it. This was a long - standing conflict between Cangjian Peak and Zixia Peak. As the sect master, he was caught in the middle and couldn't favor either side.

Qi Wuhui, on the other hand, had a livid face and looked at Ye Qiu expressionlessly. He had already understood at this moment. Ye Qiu's strength was not as rumored, only at the second level of the Mysterious Finger Realm. Judging from the aura he was currently releasing, his strength was at least above the Wuju Realm. However, this didn't mean that he would be afraid.

"Hmph, Junior Brother Ye! Your disciple has no respect for her elders and doesn't abide by the sect rules at all. As the law - enforcement elder, can't I manage this?" Qi Wuhui snorted coldly, and his own aura gradually spread, offsetting the power released by Ye Qiu.

"Hehe, sect rules?" Ye Qiu dissipated his aura and walked leisurely to the edge of the cliff, looking in the direction of Cangjian Peak. "Since Senior Brother Qi mentions the sect rules to me, let's talk about these rules."

"What do you mean?" Qi Wuhui's face was gloomy. He didn't know what Ye Qiu was up to.

"As the law - enforcement elder, Senior Brother Qi must be very familiar with the sect rules. I wonder how a disciple of our sect who bullies the common people, robs women by force, and kills innocent people should be punished according to the sect rules?"

Qi Wuhui replied without thinking, "According to the regulations, their cultivation should be abolished and they should be expelled from the sect."

Hearing this, the corners of Ye Qiu's mouth curled up slightly, showing a meaningful smile. Seeing this, Qi Wuhui suddenly had a bad premonition. Sure enough... After hearing his words, Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Senior Brother Qi is very clear about the sect rules. If I remember correctly, there is a disciple in your Cangjian Peak who, relying on his powerful strength, bullies the common people, has repeatedly robbed women from the foot of the mountain and played with them until they died. He is extremely cruel. According to the sect rules, should his cultivation be abolished and he be expelled from the sect? Oh, I remember! This disciple seems to be Senior Brother Qi's son, right? No wonder this kid can still run amok on the mountain. It's not strange at all." Ye Qiu had an expression of sudden realization.

Lin Qingzhu's eyes moved, and she looked at Ye Qiu in surprise. She never expected that her master had such a scheming side. Clearly, he had set a trap for Qi Wuhui, making him dig his own grave.

Hearing these words, how could Qi Wuhui not guess that Ye Qiu was deliberately trying to frame him? However, what made it impossible for him to refute was that every word Ye Qiu said was true. He had a son late in life and had always doted on him. He had always been very indulgent towards his son. And Qi Hao, relying on his father being the law - enforcement elder and himself being the heir of Cangjian Peak, became more and more perverted under Qi Wuhui's indulgence. In just a few months, he had robbed several ladies from wealthy families at the foot of the mountain and played with them until they died. In this world where the strong were respected, such things were all too normal. Usually, everyone turned a blind eye. After all, his father was Qi Wuhui, and no one dared to say anything. This also indirectly contributed to his arrogance and his increasingly perverted psychology.

"You..." Seeing that the fuse had been lit on his most beloved son, Qi Wuhui was immediately thrown into chaos. "Junior Brother Ye, you need to have evidence when you speak. Although our two peaks have always been at odds, you don't need to frame me, do you?"

"Evidence?" Looking at the other person's insidious face, Ye Qiu sneered. "What if I find evidence? As the law - enforcement elder, Senior Brother Qi won't show favoritism and cover up, will you?" As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Wuhui immediately broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Meng Tianzheng for help.

Seeing him in chaos, Meng Tianzheng shook his head in disappointment. He never expected that Qi Wuhui, as the law - enforcement elder, would be outsmarted by a young man in terms of scheming. He couldn't help but admire Ye Qiu. On the surface, he looked very honest, but he was actually so cunning. Regarding the matter of Qi Hao, Meng Tianzheng clearly knew about it. However, due to his special status, Meng Tianzheng also turned a blind eye. After all, in the eyes of cultivators, the death of a mortal was something they didn't care about at all. This was a world of competition among all races, where the fittest survived. Only the strong had the right to speak. Looking at the purple - red clouds in the sky, Meng Tianzheng suddenly said, "Junior Brother Ye, your Zixia Peak has beautiful scenery and abundant spiritual energy. There must be a spiritual vein under your feet, right? No wonder Uncle Xuantian never left Zixia Peak for so many years. So that's the case..."

Ye Qiu took a deep look at him, knowing that he was deliberately changing the topic to suppress this matter. He sneered in his heart and felt that it was almost enough. Provoking Qi Wuhui at this time would do him no good. After all, the other party was also a powerful sect - master - level figure. If they really fought, he was not the opponent of the other party yet. It was better to be accommodating and give Meng Tianzheng face. Moreover, as long as this handle was still in his hand, Ye Qiu could hold Qi Wuhui's lifeblood.

"As expected of the Sect Master. You can see through the mystery of Zixia Peak at a glance. Junior Brother admires you..." Ye Qiu laughed and followed his words.

Meng Tianzheng looked at him with satisfaction and continued, "It's getting late. Let's get back to the point. Junior Brother Ye, we came here this time for the martial arts competition among the seven peaks in three months. I wonder if your Zixia Peak will participate in this competition?"
