MTLNOVEL Chapter 50 - No Need for the Trouble
Whether it was Yun Zhanyi or the female disciples of Little Bamboo Peak—
At this moment, their anger was palpable.
They’d thought that once Xiao Lingchen had slain all the Demon Clan members, everything would be fine.
Who could have imagined that, in the end, a Wei Wuhen would suddenly appear, ambushing and killing Xiao Lingchen!
As fellow disciples of the thirteen great sects—
Wei Wuhen’s actions had clearly sparked outrage, drawing rebukes from Yun Zhanyi and the others!
Yet Wei Wuhen didn’t care in the slightest.
He said coldly:
“So what if I killed him?”
“Do you know that this fiend slaughtered fifty-six thousand disciples of my Tianyan Sect? Killing him with one strike was letting him off easy!”
“If I could, I’d skin him alive, rip out his tendons, and throw him into my Tianyan Sect’s Rama Tower to suffer ten thousand tortures!”
Hearing this, Yun Zhanyi and the others felt a chill.
Exchanging glances, their faces were filled with disbelief.
Xiao Lingchen killed fifty-six thousand Tianyan Sect disciples?
How could that be possible?!
Yun Zhanyi immediately said:
“You’re spouting nonsense! How could a Taixuan Sect disciple be as brutal and ruthless as you claim?”
The other Little Bamboo Peak female disciples chimed in:
“Exactly! We spent days with Junior Brother Lingchen—he’s not that kind of person!”
“What proof do you have that Junior Brother Xiao killed your Tianyan Sect disciples?”
Wei Wuhen let out a light scoff:
“Proof? Heh!”
With a wave of his arm, a recording stone suddenly shot out.
Over the past few days, while collecting score tokens in the Dark Forest, he’d stumbled upon a shocking number of Tianyan Sect disciple corpses.
And it wasn’t just hundreds or thousands—it was tens of thousands!
After investigating, he finally found this recording stone left by a deceased disciple in a hidden corner.
He infused a trace of spiritual energy into it, and the stored footage instantly played before everyone.
In the scene, Xiao Lingchen wielded the Phoenix Sovereign Sword, mercilessly slaughtering Tianyan Sect disciples.
The footage was bloody, brutal, and horrifying!
Seeing this, Yun Zhanyi and the Little Bamboo Peak disciples were stunned.
They hadn’t expected Wei Wuhen’s claims to be true!
Xiao Lingchen had really killed Tianyan Sect disciples!
“It’s fake! This can’t be! There must be more to this!”
“Exactly! Even if we take ten thousand steps back and say Junior Brother Lingchen did it, it should be our Taixuan Sect’s right to judge him. By killing our disciple without permission, aren’t you afraid of sparking a war between our sects?!”
Wei Wuhen sneered.
He retrieved the recording stone.
“Rest assured—after the sect’s grand competition ends, I’ll report this to my sect!”
“When the time comes, my Tianyan Sect will demand an explanation from your Taixuan Sect!”
With that—
He turned to leave.
But the moment he turned, a cold gleam flashed.
Wei Wuhen’s head flew off, blood spraying into the air.
Before losing consciousness, he saw who struck—
It was Xiao Lingchen!
“How… is this… possible…”
He clearly remembered slicing Xiao Lingchen in two.
So why…
Was Xiao Lingchen standing there now, unscathed?
Sadly, his questions would never be answered.
His head and body separated—in mere moments, he was utterly dead.
Xiao Lingchen sheathed his Phoenix Sovereign Sword, grumbling:
“Damn it, the thing I hate most in my life is people who sneak attack!”
If not for cultivating an immortal, unyielding body with the qi of creation, he might’ve really fallen here today!
With that—
He pocketed Wei Wuhen’s storage ring and didn’t forget to destroy the recording stone.
Only after Xiao Lingchen finished all this—
Did Yun Zhanyi and the Little Bamboo Peak disciples snap out of their shock.
They looked at Xiao Lingchen, their eyes filled with astonishment.
“Junior Brother Lingchen, you… weren’t you already…”
“Killed by Wei Wuhen?”
“How…”
Xiao Lingchen chuckled lightly:
“Him? Kill me?”
“In his next life, maybe!”
Yun Zhanyi approached him, her brows furrowing:
“Did you really kill over fifty thousand Tianyan Sect disciples?”
Xiao Lingchen had no intention of denying it, saying calmly:
“Didn’t you all see the recording stone?”
Yun Zhanyi asked:
“Why?”
“You’re so bloodthirsty—and you and Junior Sister Ning…”
Thinking of Xiao Lingchen’s dual cultivation technique, Yun Zhanyi’s cheeks flushed:
“How are you any different from the Demon Clan?”
Xiao Lingchen replied:
“So what?”
“Does Senior Sister Yun think I’m one of the Demon Clan and plan to bring me to justice?”
Yun Zhanyi snapped indignantly:
“Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?”
“You saved our lives today—how could I repay kindness with enmity?”
“But what you’ve done has caused a colossal disaster!”
“The Tianyan Sect will investigate this to the end, and when they do, they won’t let you off!”
Yun Zhanyi’s brows knit tightly. Then, as if making a decision—
She conjured a flame, burning Wei Wuhen’s corpse to ashes.
She turned to her junior sisters:
“Everything that just happened—you’re not to tell a soul. Pretend it never occurred!”
Then to Xiao Lingchen:
“For the time being, I’ll help you erase all traces of what you’ve done, ensuring no one finds a shred of evidence.”
“And you—keep a low profile from now on. Don’t give anyone anything to use against you!”
“Otherwise, even I won’t be able to protect you!”
Hearing Yun Zhanyi’s words—
Xiao Lingchen smiled and said:
“Senior Sister Yun, are you worried about me?”
Yun Zhanyi replied with a hint of resentment:
“Consider it repayment for saving our lives just now.”
Xiao Lingchen laughed heartily, suddenly finding Yun Zhanyi rather endearing.
She hated evil like an enemy, yet knew how to repay kindness.
Then he said:
“Senior Sister Yun, there’s no need for all that trouble.”
“Even if this gets out, it doesn’t matter.”
At that—
Yun Zhanyi and the others looked puzzled.
Xiao Lingchen continued:
“Because my feud with the Tianyan Sect is already one of life and death.”
“After the sect’s grand competition ends, I’ll personally storm the Tianyan Sect and wipe them out entirely!”
Hearing this—
Yun Zhanyi and the others were stunned.
After pressing for details, they finally learned of the grudge between Xiao Lingchen and the Tianyan Sect.
Only then did they understand why he’d massacred Tianyan Sect disciples.
If it were them—if the Tianyan Sect dared harm their families—they’d do the same as Xiao Lingchen!
But…
Yun Zhanyi said worriedly:
“But how can you, alone, stand against the vast Tianyan Sect?”
“The Tianyan Sect isn’t like those family forces in your Qingyun City. Even Qingyun City’s City Lord’s Mansion is utterly incomparable to it!”
“The Tianyan Sect has a million disciples, seventy-two deacons, and twelve elders.”
“Just those seventy-two deacons all have cultivation above Dao Palace Realm. The twelve elders—at minimum Dao Palace Realm ninth level, half of them already at Delusion Breaking Realm!”
“And their sect master, Duan Wushang, is said to have reached Delusion Breaking Realm seventh level, wielding the Tianyan Sect’s sect legacy treasure. How could you possibly be their match?”
