I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 373 - 63: Even If I Die, I’ll Still Be Your Father
"Get out of my way!"
The moon hanging behind her cast down beams of moonlight, which then condensed into five long swords, transforming into a breathtaking rainbow, slashing towards the heads of the five Guardian Daoists at an incredibly frightening speed.
These five were all Half-Step Celestial Human Realm experts. If placed in other sects, they would be grandmasters holding down the foundation, but here at the Dharma Form Palace, they were merely gatekeepers.
Although they could handle ordinary people, facing someone like Chu Zhihe, a master in the Celestial Human Realm, they were not quite up to the task.
Even though Chu Zhihe was severely injured, they were no match for her.
Boom!
At the moment Chu Zhihe made her move, the five Guardian Daoists suddenly formed an array, stepping forward abruptly, as the Dharma Form Hall behind them erupted with countless runes soaring into the sky, interweaving into a vast landscape, the terrifying oppressive force sweeping across all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The five long swords condensed by moonlight were directly crushed, dissipating into silver light in the void.
Pfft!
Chu Zhihe immediately felt her mana and primordial spirit within her body being heavily suppressed, causing her to cough up a mouthful of blood once again.
"You, you... do you dare to harm me?"
"Elder Chu, it’s best for you to leave," the five Guardian Daoists maintained a polite but firm tone throughout.
"Fine, fine, fine, you’re forcing me. I didn’t want to make a big deal out of this; I just wanted to resolve it privately with Yi Mingshu. But since you’re dismissing me like this, don’t blame me." With that, Chu Zhihe suddenly retreated three steps, wrapped in moonlight, shooting skyward.
She took a deep breath, circulated the mana within her, and shouted loudly towards the sky: "Yi Wushuang is a fraud, an infiltrator from another sect." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Yi Mingshu is so blind, he can’t even recognize his own son and is completely fooled by that spy."
...
This thunderous shout resounded everywhere, instantly alarming everyone.
Countless people looked up at Chu Zhihe in the sky.
"What is Elder Chu doing?"
"She said Yi Wushuang is fake, he’s a spy from another sect?"
"That’s impossible, how could the Sect Leader not recognize his own son?"
"I think it’s mostly false; Elder Chu must have been deeply offended by Yi Wushuang and is seeking revenge this way."
"What a pity, for a dignified Elder to be driven to such tactics; Yi Wushuang is truly despicable."
...
The sect was abuzz with discussions, but the vast majority did not believe it to be true, only thinking that Chu Zhihe was retaliating.
Only a few took it seriously.
In a secret room, about to contact Chu Tiange, Qi Lingxi squinted slightly upon hearing the news, "How did Elder Chu get this information?"
"That waste Yi Wushuang is truly unreliable, his little secret is now known to everyone."
"How could someone like that be a spy?"
Her brow furrowed slightly, "I initially planned to use Yi Wushuang against Chu Tiange, but now it seems he can’t even take care of himself, let alone be relied upon."
"I went to great lengths to help him, even killed Zhang Zhijing for him, yet he’s utterly incompetent..."
After pondering for a moment, Qi Lingxi made up her mind, "I must sever ties with him, our previous collaboration ends here."
"Now that the situation has been made public by Chu Zhihe, under the sect’s strict investigation, Yi Wushuang will inevitably slip up."
"If I remain entangled with him, I might also be implicated."
"I must cleanly cut ties..."
With sharp and decisive thoughts, upon receiving the news, she made her decision immediately.
"Now that Chu Tiange’s father is dead, and his mother is the laughingstock of everyone, his supporter Qi Zhiyuan has also been imprisoned by the Law Enforcement Hall."
"The other two First Seats have yet to be released."
"The forces supporting Chu Tiange have hit rock bottom, if I can save the two First Seats at this time and gain the support of the Hall Master, there might just be hope for me to ascend to the Sect Leader position."
"Relying solely on that waste Yi Wushuang is impossible, it’s up to me to rally enough support, and openly defeat Chu Tiange, the Sect Leader position will be mine."
"After all, Yi Wushuang is a fraud, he has no right to compete with me..."
A smile appeared on Qi Lingxi’s face, "This internal strife has unexpectedly suppressed Chu Tiange’s power to the bottom, giving me a chance to emerge."
"I’ve endured for so many years, and now I finally have the opportunity to achieve my wish."
"Chu Tiange, in a little over a month, it’s time for the Tao Vein True Inheritance debate; you should be back by then, right?"
"I must utterly defeat you in front of everyone and ascend to the Sect Leader’s seat."
She slowly walked out of the secret room, abandoning the plan to contact Chu Tiange, "If Chu Tiange returns too soon, it would be disadvantageous for me, let things escalate for a while longer!"
"With Chu Zhihe’s reputation, what qualifications does Chu Tiange have to be an Elder of the sect?"
...
In the Brocade Palace, while Lu Chengfeng was in seclusion, the voice of the elder Chong Shan suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Kid, why are you so disappointing?"
Chong Shan’s voice was somewhat cold and exasperated, "I had hoped you could rescue me, but I didn’t expect you to be so useless. It’s only been a few days, and your fake identity is already known to everyone?"
