Chapter 85 The Plot Revealed
And shortly, all the sect elders and the sect master gathered around Qiang\'s cave abode.
Qiang had done something to the cave abode formation. It did not listen to the sect master or the elder\'s command and did not let them in.
Soon Elder Dongmei arrived too. Since the formation was not letting them in and a core disciple was in danger, they did not waste any breath fixing the formation.
Elder Dongmei and Sect master concentrated their Qi and attacked the formation of the abode with all their strength.
Dong! Dong! Heavy noise of formation being attacked could be heard all over the sect.
Many inner sect disciples and other core disciples gathered to see the commotion.
When they arrived, they were informed by inner sect elders that the Qing\'s abode\'s formations alarm rang, which meant Qiang was being attacked by someone inside.
After attacking for fifteen minutes, they finally broke the formation. The moment formation broke, the sect master and elder Dongmei rushed in.
After entering the cave abode heard noises of cursing, yelling, and fighting could be heard in the garden. They immediately rushed towards the garden.
Behind them were inner sect elders, hall elders, core disciples, and inner sect disciples following hastily.
Trying to figure out what was going on, did the sect get attacked? Who was this daring enemy to attack the core disciple of the sect in broad daylight?
But they were filled with disbelief when they reached the garden and saw what was going on.
Qiang and Xiayon were hitting, kicking, biting, and cursing each other, there was blood all over their body, and their clothes were tattered.
Xiayon was almost naked. She was crying, trying to hit, kick, or bite Quiang.
Qiang kept rolling from one place to other to avoid her attacks. He looked like a demon. His face was all bloody. His eyes were red. He kept trying to Jump on Xiayon, punch her, and tear her clothes to have his way with her.
Sect master and elder Dongmei jumped in and separated them forcefully. Xiayon was out of breath, and she kept crying while the sect master held her. Sect master took out his robe to cover her. He was furious and turned to look at the culprit.
Qiang was held forcefully by the elder Dongmei. Qiang\'s eyes were red. He was yelling with all his might, adding Qi to his voice. Since the formation was broken, half of the inner sect could hear his voice. Qiang Kept yelling, "B**ch, you made me kill brother Lanfen. I loved you, but now you want me to Kill Han Cai?" He kept yelling again and again.
Elder Dongmei smacked the back of Qiang\'s head, and he went limp and became unconscious. The elders and disciples watching this were speechless, even inner core disciples. This was a bizarre situation.
The sect master growled loudly, "What are you all looking at? Everyone go back to their quarters."
Han Cai, who was in his cave abode sipping tea, heard the commotion but did not leave his cave abode. He kept enjoying his tea peacefully. There was a shiny silver flute beside him on the cushion glowing with celestial energy.
**************************************************
The Sect Hall.
The sect master was sitting in the center with many elders around him. This was a sect meeting Sect Master had called. Not just core elders but all the elders of the inner hall, even some of the outer hall elders, were present.
Elder Miao of the outer sect was present too; he was standing behind Elder Lin, the elder of the inner Discipline hall.
Elder Dongmei was sitting close to the sect master.
This was something new for normal inner-sect elders and outer-sect elders. They had never seen elder Dongmei joining any sect meetings before. To them, elder Dongmei was the grandmaster of the sect. He was sect\'s most revered and mysterious person.
Hall was silent. Everyone had solemn expressions on their faces. The core disciples were pillars of their sect. Situations such as this could shake the foundation of the sect.
Sect master spoke, "Elder Lin, please go ahead with your report."
Elder Lin nodded, got up from his chair, bowed to the sect master, and began speaking, "After the Incident in Inner core disciple Qiang\'s abode. Disciple Qiang was injured heavily and was unconscious for two days. After he woke up, the discipline hall interrogated him about the statements that he had made during the Incident. Disciple Qiang said he was not in the right mind. What he said was nonsense, and this was all a mistake. But because the statements made by Disciple Qiang were very grave, the discipline hall had to follow due process. With permission from the sect master, discipline Hall decided to interrogate Disciple Qiang under the influence of Spiritual Frozen Collard incense. And Disciple Qiang gave us all the truth."
After saying that much, the elder Lin sighed. Other elders whispered when they heard about Frozen Collard incense. It was like a truth serum; unless someone had a very strong mind, even cultivators could not escape its influence.
Elder Lin spoke, "It all began when Disciple Lanfen joined as an inner core disciple in the martial hall. Disciple Lanfen and Disciple Qiang of pill hall both wanted disciple Xiaoyun, who is a personal disciple of the sect master, as their Dao partners, so they competed."
Elder Lin Continued, " As they competed gradually, they started to have a deep grudge against each other. The grudge went too deep to the point they wanted to kill each other. And one day, when disciple Lanfen went out for sect missions, disciple Qing used his family\'s connection to inform frost peak sect\'s dire hall about disciple Lan\'s location. The dire hall used this opportunity to intercept and kill disciple Lanfen. When disciple Lanfen died, disciple Qiang confessed to disciple Xiaoyan about him being the reason for the death of Disciple Lanfen. When disciple Xiaoyun learned about this, she used this to leverage the situation to blackmail disciple Qiang."
Elder Lin sighed again. His heart was heavy; these disciples were the sect\'s future, and the sect did everything in its power to nurture them. Is this how they plan to pay back the sect?
Martial hall elder was furious his hall\'s disciple was killed not in a respectful battle fighting for sect, but over a girl.
The pill hall elders had grave expressions on their faces. Qiang was the core disciple of their hall, a future core elder of their hall, so they treated him like a young prince .
They could argue and fight with other halls to save him if it was any other offense. But he had committed the biggest sin in the sect, killing another core disciple. It would be very difficult for them to save him now.
Elder Lin continued, "When the sect master accepted Disciple Han Cai as his personal disciple. Disciple Xiaoyun was very unhappy about it. So she went to disciple Qiang and blackmailed him asking him to kill Disciple Han. Disciple Qiang agreed, and He contacted the poison elder of the outer sect, elder Yongnian. Disciple Qiang had dirt on elder Yongnian. Elder Yongnian has killed many young outer sect disciples and cultivators to fulfill his poison experiments.
Fearing the consequences if the sect found out about his activities, Elder Yongnian agreed to poison Disciple Han. For that, he used two female disciples from his faction to seduce the gray robe disciples who served under the core disciple Han. They planned to poison disciple Han using a gork stem so it will be untraceable. A few days before the Incident, disciple Qing had Qi deviation. He was mentally unstable because of that. He was not able to control his carnal desires when the disciple Xiaoyun visited him. He used aphrodisiac to have his way with her, and disciple Xiaoyun fought back."
Sect master and core elders had an ugly expression on their faces; These fools planned to poison one in a million talent with space affinity for personal satisfaction.
Fairy Su of pill hall was sweating buckets. Qiang was her personal disciple. If she spoke up for Qiang now, elder Dongmei might tear her into pieces.
After saying his piece, Elder Lin bowed and went back to his seat. The mood in the hall was depressing. No one wanted to speak. The two powerhouses\' sect master and elder Domei were quiet for a long time.
Finally, Elder Dongmei shook his head and spoke furiously, "Trying to kill a disciple of my…." Then Elder Dongmei noticed many inner sect elders and outer sect elders around him couldn\'t, Many of them were not aware about dark hall he could not mention his hall openly like this, so he went quiet and then spoke again, "UNFORGIVEABLE!"
He was angry that they had the guts to try to conspire and poison disciple of his hall, especially Han Cai, who was the apple of his eye.
He knew about this poison plan long ago, but he specifically came to show his stand today, He was planning to fix this problem from root. So anyone who planned to conspire against Han Cai or any disciple of his dark hall in the future they should think twice.
