This person, their swordsmanship is fierce and ruthless, utterly reckless, completely disregarding the fact they’ve been struck, relentlessly seeking flaws in Wei Yunshu’s defense, as if determined to hold him back at all costs.
Simply a madman.
This immediately sparked Wei Yunshu’s killing intent, the usual calm demeanor vanished, hands gripping the sword, True Qi surged, needing only a single move to ensure this person would die beneath his blade.
"Sect Master, show mercy," suddenly, Tianmiao’s voice sounded in Wei Yunshu’s ear.
Wei Yunshu withdrew his sword, switching to a palm strike, exerting only sixty percent of his strength. The palm landed solidly on the person, who cried out in agony, blood gushing, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.
Meanwhile, the fake Bai Yue was quickly carried away by another individual, disappearing from sight.
The disciples of Fenglan Sect wanted to pursue, but Wei Yunshu raised a hand to stop them, instructing them to suppress the subdued men in black.
Tianmiao approached Wei Yunshu and looked at the person lying in the pool of blood. To be precise, she was not human, but a powerful Spirit Beast named Cui Wei, the very same Cui Wei that accompanied He Ling.
However, Cui Wei’s human form now transformed into a different appearance, entirely distinct from before, evidently to prevent exposing He Ling.
"Just a mere canine-bovine with cunning bloodline dares to behave insolently in my Fenglan Sect. If not for someone pleading for you, today you’d have been skinned!" Wei Yunshu said coldly, his eyes filled with rage.
"Don’t be angry, Sect Master, spare her life, she’s actually quite pitiable," Tianmiao transmitted the message with Divine Sense to Wei Yunshu.
"Ha?" Wei Yunshu tilted his head puzzled at Tianmiao, what does this mean? He just had the Treasure of the Sect stolen, pity? The one who should be pitied is him, sigh, how excessive. Little Bai Yue doesn’t feel sorry for him, instead sympathizes with this thief!
"Take her," Tianmiao pointed at Cui Wei, "to my courtyard."
Wei Yunshu wasn’t sure what Tianmiao was up to. But still, he followed her instructions, lifting Cui Wei by the collar, declaring to all the disciples, "Return to your posts. Tree Heart hasn’t been stolen, what was taken was a fake, the genuine one was taken by me, I’ll return it shortly."
Upon hearing this, all the disciples felt relieved, and some praised the Sect Master for his foresight. In short, Wei Yunshu garnered a wave of admiration.
Upon listening to this, Tianmiao’s thoughts echoed two words: Indeed...
Carrying the severely injured yet stubbornly-faced Cui Wei, Wei Yunshu followed Tianmiao back to her courtyard. Upon reaching the hall, he directly tossed Cui Wei to the ground. Cui Wei screamed in pain, while Wei Yunshu coldly glanced at her, eyes full of disdain and mockery.
"Your Tree Heart is fake, isn’t it? It’s been fake from start to finish." Tianmiao suddenly spoke after sitting down.
Lying on the ground, Cui Wei’s eyes widened, staring incredulously at Tianmiao. What does she mean by this?
"Little Bai Yue, what are you talking about? I’ve just had the Treasure of the Sect stolen, in order to calm the people, I put on a brave face and told the disciples it was fake," Wei Yunshu chuckled.
"Really?" Tianmiao smiled thinly, steadily gazing at Wei Yunshu.
Wei Yunshu remained silent, not uttering a word.
Facing Tianmiao’s gaze, Wei Yunshu finally raised his hands helplessly, "Those four old geezers once said you’re the smartest in the world, I never agreed, thought it was just their fondness for you, so you seemed the best in their eyes. Now I finally realize this isn’t just a subjective opinion."
