Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ma Liang and Ma Wuliang were instantly killed.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, adding a sense of solemnity to the quietness before the Underground Palace.

The screams of Ma Liang and Ma Wuliang before they died and the final explosion attracted the attention of most of the people in the sect.

The disciples in the Underground Palace were wide-eyed and dumbstruck. Their eyes were filled with not only shock but infinite fear as well.

A disciple had killed inside the sect, and the person who was killed was actually an elder of the sect. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

Even though Elder Xuan Yi had helped, Bai Weiwei was the one who launched the sword move.

How could this not make them panic?!

They only saw Bai Weiwei slash her sword and kill Elder Ma.

And life-and-death fight inside the sect was a great crime, not to mention killing an elder.

At best, her cultivation would be removed, and at worst, she would be executed!

Qing Xuzi also flew over to the site.

He was thinking about the matter of the Sage Mystic Realm when he felt a strong spirit energy fluctuation inside the sect.

He thought it was caused by a genius disciple, but soon he was furious because Elder Ma’s soul lamp went out.

The sect was already in a life-and-death crisis, and now they had internal fights.

It was not only a challenge to his authority, it had also reduced the number of Law Enforcement Realm masters in the sect.

They... They had absolutely no regard for the sect rules. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

Qing Xuzi’s white hair and long beard stood up as he released an aura of the Sect Master Realm and people under this pressure found it difficult to breathe.

“What’s going on!?” Qing Xuzi’s imposing voice was very cold.

He believed that some disciples had colluded with their enemy. Otherwise, who would be able to kill Elder Ma right under his nose with only one move?

The disciples looked at each other, trembling but didn’t dare to say anything. It was obvious that they were scared. However, the disciples who didn’t like Bai Weiwei yelled, “Sect Master, Elder Ma was killed by Bai Weiwei. I suspect that she is a spy from another sect. She violated our sect’s rules with the protection move given to her by Elder Xuan!”

“That’s right, Sect Master. She even crippled Murong Lei just now. She must be a spy. You know how talented senior brother Murong is.”

“That’s right! She must have come to slaughter the geniuses of our Profound Sword Sect since the Sage Mystic Realm is about to open.”

...

A group of indignant disciples began to complain to the sect. Some even hoped that the sect master would kill Bai Weiwei on the spot.

Qing Xuzi’s eyes turned gloomy.

He was furious that such a thing had happened. However, considering that Bai Weiwei was Xuan Yi’s new disciple and that he needed Xuan Yi’s help with the Sage Mystic Realm, he could only ask, “Bai Weiwei, did you kill Ma Wuliang and Ma Liang?”

“Yes!” Bai Weiwei answered without thinking.

She didn’t want to make things difficult for her master, so she took the responsibility.

Hearing Bai Weiwei’s quick admission, Qing Xuzi was even more displeased. At the same time, he was also greatly disappointed with Xuan Yi.

Even though Bai Weiwei had advanced to half-step Golden Core Realm in a few days, he felt that this girl’s character was not good. He thought that Xuan Yi hadn’t tested her character before taking her as a disciple, which was why he was disappointed with Xuan Yi.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with her, Bai Weiwei said in a grave voice, “Sect Master, this person has a great enmity with me, and has repeatedly set me up. I had to kill him!”

“Bullsh*t, Elder Ma is highly respected, how could he harm a young girl like you? You’re lying!”

“Yes, Elder Ma is dead and can’t speak for himself. Sect Master, you can’t believe her words. This woman is lying!”

“That’s right. We must torture her and dig out the forces behind her. She killed one of our elders and we must kill her!”

...

The disciples began to issue judgement before Qing Xuzi could speak.

However, Qing Xuzi raised his hand and gestured them to be quiet.

With a determined gaze, he said, “I’ll give you a chance to prove your innocence. Speak.”

Thus, Bai Weiwei told them how Ma Liang had targeted her all these years, how Ma Wuliang had harmed her, how her family had been suppressed, why she had blocked the entrance to the Underground Palace and defeated many of her senior and junior brothers...

She told him everything except her master Xuan Yi’s role in it.

Qing Xuzi was a very smart person. After hearing her story and what he knew of Elder Ma’s background, he believed most of what she said.

He was even more shocked, though!

The disciple with the Supreme Yin Physique had her physique destroyed after entering the extreme Yang forbidden zone, but she could still recover her previous physique!

Qing Xuzi believed most of of her words, but the disciples didn’t want to believe it, especially those who had been defeated by Bai Weiwei. They just wanted her dead.

“Sect Master, her story is one-sided and you can’t believe it. Her strength must be removed for violating the sect rules!”

“That’s right. If she gets away with it, it’s unfair to the other disciples! It will be a disgrace to our sect which has a history of thousands of years!”

“Sect Master, please punish her severely. Remove her cultivation, chop off her limbs, and kick her out of the sect!”

...

Sensing the fury of the disciples, Qing Xuzi also realized that the ones who shouted the loudest were the disciples who had been defeated by Bai Weiwei.

Moreover, he sensed a familiar spirit aura in the air and knew that this was Xuan Yi’s doing.

On one side was the sect genius that he valued, and on the other side were the sect’s disciples. If this issue wasn’t handled properly, it would be detrimental to the sect’s development.

Therefore, he thought of a compromise.

“Bai Weiwei, you just said that some people tried to stop you from registering for the mystic realm assessment, so you blocked the entrance to the Underground Palace.

“You’ve worked hard to gain your current strength. If Elder Ma and Ma Liang really attacked you first, it’s not your fault that they died.

“Now, I’ll give you a chance. If you can challenge the remaining nine disciples and defeat them, then I will let bygones be bygones. How about it?”

Bai Weiwei was stunned at first, then she said firmly, “I, Bai Weiwei, accept the challenge!”
