Chapter 309 Gentle Senior Brother 17 (1/2)

Chapter 309 Gentle Senior Brother 17 In the next instant, the moon-white sword light crashed down like lightning from the heavens.

Not only did it instantly shatter the poisoned blade, but its sharp sword energy also forced the dozen or so demonic cultivators who were besieging Zi Xi to retreat several steps.

Mu Yuan landed gracefully in front of Zi Xi, protecting her firmly behind him.

He gently waved his folding fan, as if he were strolling through the back garden of Hidden Peak rather than fighting.

"Senior Brother Mu Yuan!"

"It's best to be careful, there are a lot of them..."

When Zi Xi saw him appear, she felt a strange sense of peace in her heart.

"It doesn't matter, they're just a bunch of clowns."

Mu Yuan spoke in a relaxed tone, and even turned back to give Zi Xi a reassuring smile.

However, the moment he turned around, a demonic cultivator hidden in the shadows suddenly attacked, throwing out a blood-red talisman at them.

Mu Yuan suddenly pulled Zi Xi behind him, while hastily blocking with his left arm.

The blood-red talisman exploded on his left arm.

Although it wasn't a fatal wound, it instantly tore the sleeve, leaving a charred scar.

Blood gushed from his arm instantly, and a wisp of black smoke could even be seen trying to seep into the wound.

He let out a suppressed groan, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face paled just the right amount.

"Senior Brother Mu Yuan!"

A feeling of heartache welled up in Zi Xi's heart.

She said no more, and the long sword in her hand suddenly became incredibly sharp and domineering.

What was originally a defensive sword move suddenly became offensive.

Mu Yuan watched her sudden, fierce attack, a triumphant smile flashing deep in his eyes.

But he still maintained a facade of being severely injured and struggling to hold on, fighting alongside her.

The fierce battle here was so loud that it quickly attracted several disciples from other sects who were on missions nearby.

Just as the demonic cultivators realized the situation was unfavorable and wanted to retreat, Mu Yuan seized the opportunity and suddenly threw out a recording jade slip.

The jade slip shone brightly in the air, clearly projecting the scene of Lin Wanwan meeting with the demonic cultivator to discuss the details.

Even the sounds were recorded clearly.

"Gentlemen, your employer is a member of the Tianyan Sect, so didn't she tell you what the consequences would be for provoking the wrong people?"

Mu Yuan's voice was no longer gentle and refined, but instead carried a chilling and mocking tone.

When the demonic cultivators saw the image, their expressions changed drastically, realizing they had fallen into a trap.

The other disciples from various sects who rushed over were even more in an uproar.

The personal disciple of the Sword Master of the Heavenly Evolution Sect actually hired someone to murder a fellow disciple and colluded with demonic cultivators?!

This is an absolutely shocking scandal!

Mu Yuan gave the demonic cultivators no chance to argue and quickly subdued them all, crippling their cultivation.

After the battle ended, Mu Yuan staggered and used his uninjured hand to support himself against the broken wall beside him. His face was pale and his breathing was disordered.

"Be careful, your injury..."

Zi Xi subconsciously reached out to help him but then stopped, looking anxiously at his bleeding arm, her voice filled with an urgency she herself didn't realize.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. I'm glad you're alright, Junior Sister."

Mu Yuan raised his eyes to look at her, a gentle smile returning to his fox-like eyes, tinged with weakness.

"I never imagined that Junior Sister Lin would be so heartless as to collude with demonic cultivators and harm her fellow cultivators! This matter must be reported to Master and the Enforcement Hall immediately, and she must be severely punished!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the subdued demonic cultivator on the ground and the indignant witnesses around him, his tone turning cold and stern.

The evidence was conclusive, the perpetrators were caught red-handed, and there were also numerous bystander witnesses.

Lin Wanwan's conspiracy was completely exposed at this moment.

From an angle unseen by the others, Mu Yuan made a gesture almost imperceptibly in a certain direction in the air.

The cleanup has only just begun.

The image jade slip that Mu Yuan threw out caused a huge uproar in the Tianyan Sect and even the entire Righteous Path Alliance.
