Don't Provoke the Turtle

Elder Xu fell silent for a moment: "Is there a possibility to spare him?"

He despised the scholar to the extreme. It wasn't until the scholar attracted Zhu Yan that the Wuxiang Sword Sect met such a disaster.

But the scholar was special. Whether it was his innate talent or something else, all the techniques mutated in his hands. Their power might not necessarily increase, but they became incredibly unpredictable. He was a deviant genius.

With Elder Qiao as his master, nurturing him with effort, his future was promising.

He saw that Dragon Turtle was about to kill the scholar!

This Dragon Turtle had already slain the Sect Leader, taken the Sect Leader's wife, and now sought to kill the scholar. Qingyuan would truly have no future!

Su He glanced at him indifferently, paying him no heed, and looked towards the east.

Dressed as a scholar, Elder Qiao Chenlun descended from his Fairy Sword and looked at Elder Xu: "Elder Brother Xu, I too am quite curious about the whereabouts of that disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors."

Betray his master... and ancestors?

These words, coming from a master to describe his own disciple, were an extreme judgment.

He looked at Elder Qiao Chenlun's empty arms, his eyes suddenly focused.

"Elder Brother Qiao, your... your arms..."

Elder Qiao Chenlun's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of a smile: "It was the doing of my dear disciple!"

Elder Xu suddenly looked up, incredulously at Elder Qiao Chenlun.

Elder Qiao Chenlun nodded. He had returned half a year ago and had been recuperating in Qingyuan, never leaving. If it weren't for Xia Dali traveling far to Xuantian Gate, he wouldn't have been able to break through his seclusion to receive Su He.

Today, he was supposed to be presiding over the Hall of Longevity, but he saw pitch-black lightning strike down two thousand miles away from Qingyuan, the killing intent was indescribable.

He hurriedly rode his sword over, only sensing the powerful aura of Dragon Turtle. Following the aura all the way, he saw the corpses of the Wuxiang Sword Sect in the gorge.

The one who slaughtered them all was using the Qingyuan Sword Technique. Without needing to think further, he hurriedly rode his sword towards the Wuxiang Sword Sect, and before he arrived, he saw golden light, dice, and endless ghosts.

Finally catching up, he saw Su He annihilating Zhu Yan with black thunder and then questioning Elder Brother Xu. Beside them was Sizhe, protected by a barrier, sitting on the ground, and in the ice coffin were also the bodies of Qingyuan disciples.

No need to think further, his thousand years of experience allowed him to immediately understand what had happened.

But what he couldn't figure out was why Elder Brother Xu was also confronting Dragon Turtle. To be bewitched by Zhu Yan, one must have such intentions to begin with, right?

Elder Brother Xu had the intent to kill Dragon Turtle, which is why he was bewitched by Zhu Yan.

Half a year ago, the scholar led Elder Qiao Chenlun to Zhu Yan, who then cut off his arms. If it weren't for the scholar's urgent need to know which elders had been Sect Leaders, he would have probably died that day, with no chance for Su He to save him.

Over the past half-year, he had tried every means to gather information on Dragon Turtle, Zhu Yan, and other Divine Beasts, not even sparing legends.

He also deeply understood the characteristics of Zhu Yan's ability to bewitch people.

Elder Xu's pupils contracted, then relaxed, tensed again, and began to tremble violently.

The scholar, he cut off his own master's arms?
