“I’ll tell! I’ll tell!” Shi Xingwei immediately said, “Everything was orchestrated by the Fifth Elder, it was all his idea!”

He had personally witnessed Chu Xiaotian dragging Chen Mo over to take the fall, such a person… could he be trusted?

Who knew if, while he was still clenching his teeth and holding on, Chu Xiaotian might have already sold him out!

Such a person might share wealth and honor with you, but definitely not adversity.

Chu Xiaotian was furious beyond measure and pointed, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Bao Dongsheng spoke leisurely, “Chu Xiaotian, won’t you admit your guilt?”

...

He was the Sect Master, and as long as he deemed Chu Xiaotian guilty, then Chu Xiaotian was guilty, evidence or not.

“Hmph, he is framing me, what crime have I committed?” Chu Xiaotian said loudly, turning to Shi Hao, “You little whippersnapper, how dare you frame me!”

Shi Hao faintly smiled, “Have a good journey!”

“I’m going to kill you!” Chu Xiaotian, overwhelmed with rage, suddenly leaped up and charged at Shi Hao.

This was unexpected to everyone.

Chu Xiaotian actually dared to make a move in front of the Sect Master and all the elders!

But, Bao Dongsheng was prepared; the moment Chu Xiaotian moved, he also sprung into action, reaching out to press towards Chu Xiaotian.

On the Other Shore Nine Islands, the ninth is the highest, and he was of the Nine Islands realm!

Chu Xiaotian didn’t dare to face it head-on and swiftly sidestepped towards the outside of the Three Sutra Hall.

—His attack on Shi Hao was but a feint, his true intent was to escape.

“Bao Dongsheng, by driving me away, I will go to the Kuangsha Sect, and one day I will return with its people to eradicate the White Cloud Sect,” he sneered. “I will use your head as a ball to kick around, and then you will regret your actions today!”

Just as he was about to break out, a figure appeared and struck towards Chu Xiaotian with a palm.

This was a very unfamiliar old man, hunched over, looking as if he was near death.

But Chu Xiaotian was shocked, “The First Elder!”

This was the White Cloud Sect’s First Elder, who was nearly as old as Bao Dongsheng and had long ceased to involve himself in worldly affairs, enjoying his retirement years; it was unexpected that he would suddenly make an appearance.

Boom!

With the First Elder’s strike, Chu Xiaotian was immediately repelled, no match for him at all.

Both were formidable fighters of the Nine Islands!

Chu Xiaotian’s expression was one of bitter defeat. At the same level of cultivation, it was easy for martial artists to distinguish victory from defeat, but to kill an opponent was difficult—couldn’t one simply run away if they were outmatched?

That’s why, even though Bao Dongsheng was making it tough for him, he remained calm and even dared to utter threats.

However, Bao Dongsheng had summoned the First Elder and directly cut off his escape route.

Two Nine Islands powerhouses, one in front and one to the right, had him trapped. How could he escape now?

Shi Hao also realized, no wonder Bao Dongsheng, even though he had already decided to act against Chu Xiaotian, delayed for four days before making a move. It turned out he had been waiting to invite out the First Elder.

If you don’t strike, don’t strike at all; but when you do, make sure the enemy is left without recourse. Indeed cunning.

“Chu Xiaotian, you’ve truly disappointed me,” said the First Elder, shaking his head. At one time, he too had high hopes for Chu Xiaotian; he had not expected such a downfall.

“Hahaha!” Chu Xiaotian laughed loudly, having nothing left to fear at this point. Since Bao Dongsheng had already decided to act against him, whether he was truly guilty or not, there was no chance of escape.

“Bao Dongsheng, do you think that I’m the only one who has been secretly mining Spirit Stones?” he sneered. “Ask Nong Yongrui, ask Peng Feng, which one of them is innocent! I’m just unlucky, caught by this brat!”

Pointing at Shi Hao, there was anger and frustration in his gesture. How could he have been defeated by a mere youth?

“Chu Xiaotian, don’t spout nonsense and falsely accuse people!” Nong Yongrui and Peng Feng angrily rebuked.

Shi Hao watched with a cold eye, naturally making his own judgments.

How coincidental, that he had entered the first camp and discovered the illegal mining.

——What if the camp he had gone to was controlled by Nong Yongrui or Peng Feng’s lineage — would he have discovered the same trickery?

Chu Xiaotian could illegally mine, so why couldn’t others?

“Whether I have wronged you or not, you know in your hearts already,” Chu Xiaotian laughed, “What do you say, join forces with me? Otherwise, sooner or later you will also be overthrown by the Bao family!”

“So, how about we overthrow Bao Dongsheng and take charge ourselves?”

He actively tempted them.

Sure enough, this was viable — the Second Elder and Third Elder’s lineages combined had a total of seven Other Shore Realm experts, plus Chu Xiaotian. Even without counting Shi Xingwei, there would be eight Other Shore strongmen.

Looking at Bao Dongsheng’s side, including the Grand Elder and Fourth Elder, there were only three.

——Someone like Shi Xingwei, who’s a pushover, was not counted at all.

Shi Xingwei: “…”

Why was he not included by either side, was he not a person?

For a moment, Nong Yongrui and Peng Feng hesitated slightly as they considered Chu Xiaotian’s proposal.

When Bao Dongsheng saw this, he immediately made a decisive move. The Snow Gleaming Sword was unsheathed, buzzing as it released a cold light, instantly filling the air with a frosty chill.

This was a Spiritual Artifact, now activated by him. Ice runes were in operation, instantly turning the area back into the depths of winter.

He was from the Nine Islands; how powerful was his strength?

With the help of the Spiritual Artifact, his move completely suppressed Chu Xiaotian, who struggled to defend and could no longer speak.

Nine Islands crushing Four Islands, plus the Spiritual Artifact, was a total domination.

The Grand Elder loomed on the sidelines, ready to pounce. If Chu Xiaotian did not flee, he would not make a move, while simultaneously applying pressure to Nong Yongrui and the others.

As such, Nong Yongrui and the others did not dare to act rashly.

Chu Xiaotian fought with all his might, fully unleashing his Other Shore Realm combat power, invoking Elemental Power to wrap his body in a layer of rock, creating a formidable defense.

However, the Snow Gleaming Sword was exceedingly sharp; with one stroke, it could slice off a chunk of stone. The biting cold also severely affected Chu Xiaotian, covering half of his body with frost and slowing his reactions more and more.

Nine Islands overpowering Four Islands; yet, to kill someone from the Four Islands without incurring any cost to himself, he could only proceed slowly.

Therefore, Chu Xiaotian still managed to hold on for a hundred moves before the Snow Gleaming Sword pierced his chest, cutting off his lifeforce completely.

But before dying, he was still staring fixedly at Shi Hao.

In his view, all this was because of Shi Hao.

Without Shi Hao, how would their secret of stealing Spirit Stones have been exposed?

Shi Hao just shook his head, thinking that if anyone was to be blamed, it actually should be the Snow Spirit Cat.

——Without the cat stealing Spirit Stones, Shi Hao would not have gone to the mining area.

If this elder knew that the reason for his death was actually a cat, one wonders if he would be so angry he’d leap out of his coffin.

“Shi Xingwei, abandon your cultivation, and I will spare your life,” Bao Dongsheng said, sword in hand, speaking coldly to Shi Xingwei.

As the Sect Master, of course, his word had to be kept, but how could he let off Shi Xingwei lightly when he was involved in the theft of Spirit Stones?

“Thank you, Sect Master,” Shi Xingwei said with a forlorn expression, but in the end, he was allowed to live, which gave him a sense of relief.
