Chapter 0363 The Sect Leader's Responsibility

Wei Zhongzheng quickly said, "Jiang Zhihu, if the Gourd Xuan Island won't take you, our Nine Extremes Xuan Sect will! Don't worry, we will do our best to heal your poisoned injury!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhihu was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly!

Qin Yun and Hong Yan helped Jiang Zhihu to Wei Zhongzheng's tent.

Wei Zhongzheng and several Spirit Martial realm elders also quickly began to use their energy to heal Jiang Zhihu.

Hong Yan and Qin Yun waited outside the tent.

"Alright! I will never look down on the Nine Extremes Xuan Sect again. Just based on the sect leader's character, it is far superior to other Xuan sects and schools!" Hong Yan smiled at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun also admired and was grateful to Wei Zhongzheng. Such a sect leader is truly a good one.

The Gourd Xuan Island must have seen that Jiang Zhihu was severely injured and his foundation destroyed, which is why they decisively backed out. Otherwise, taking back a crippled disciple would have brought them blame.

Qin Yun looked towards Xing Feike's direction and said coldly, "That beast is truly sinister. Using hidden weapons is bad enough, but mixing in poison insects is downright despicable!"

Hong Yan angrily said, "Luo Xuan City is an Xuan-tier city in Yuewu Country! I've long heard that the city lord of Luo Xuan is very vicious, and now I finally see it in his grandson!"

At this time, many Xuan Martial realm warriors arrived one after another, exchanging smiles and greetings.

Qin Yun also saw Xing Feike happily welcoming a green-robed elder, who was the city lord of Luo Xuan!

In the afternoon, as the martial competition was about to begin, Wei Zhongzheng and the others came out of the tent.

"Brother Tiger!" Qin Yun called out happily upon seeing Jiang Zhihu come out.

"Brother Yun, I'm feeling much better... With some more rest, I'll recover. Thank you, Sect Leader, and the elders! I, Jiang Zhihu, will definitely become an outstanding disciple of the Nine Extremes Xuan Sect and repay the sect!" Jiang Zhihu expressed his deep gratitude.

"No need to stand on ceremony, from now on you are our disciple!" Wei Zhongzheng smiled and said, "Little Yun's duel is about to start, let's head over!"

Qin Yun saw Xing Feike step onto the duel platform and hurried over.

"Xing Feike, you really are sinister for poisoning Brother Tiger with insects!" Qin Yun hissed angrily.

"Don't slander me, haha... My grandfather is here. If you anger him, even your pathetic sect leader won't be able to save you!" Xing Feike grew even more smug, sneering, "If I were you, I wouldn't come up to compete, because you'll meet a miserable end!"

Qin Yun tightly clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

Suddenly, he felt several familiar, powerful auras approaching!

In the distance, more than ten people glided over!

There were three Xuan Martial realm warriors and over ten Spirit Martial realm experts, their auras radiating immense power.

This was a familiar aura to Qin Yun!

During the sacrifice at the Immortal's Tomb, these three Xuan Martial realm elders and the dozen or so Spirit Martial realm warriors were present.

"What are these bastards doing here?"

Remembering how he was captured and sacrificed, Qin Yun was seething with rage!

The three Xuan Martial realm elders also saw Qin Yun's face from afar and swiftly flew over.

They didn't greet anyone else but hurriedly flew towards Qin Yun, which left everyone present puzzled.

"It's you!" An elder, upon clearly seeing Qin Yun's face, immediately roared in fury.

Wei Zhongzheng quickly flew up and stood in front of Qin Yun, coldly shouting, "He's a disciple of our Nine Extremes Profound Sect! What are you planning to do?"

The fifteen Spirit Martial realm warriors also landed on the dueling platform. Upon seeing Qin Yun, their faces were filled with rage!

"It's this brat who used a Spirit Martial realm Dao Pill to destroy Jian Xuanzi's ancestral teleportation array! Because of him, we couldn't teleport back from the immortal tomb, resulting in the deaths of over a dozen Spirit Martial realm warriors!"

"Two Xuan Martial realm comrades were also slain by dragons because of this! And Jian Xuanzi has been missing ever since, with no news at all!"

"It's all this kid's fault!"

"While activating the teleportation array, he suddenly threw a Dao Pill at us, causing great harm!"

The three Xuan Martial realm elders furiously cursed Qin Yun in a chaotic uproar.

Upon hearing this, the crowd gasped in shock!

The exploration of the immortal tomb by several Profound-level sects was well-known, and they had suffered heavy losses.

No one expected it was all Qin Yun's doing!

Hong Yan also stared at Qin Yun in astonishment, his heart racing with surprise.

Causing the deaths of two Xuan Martial realm warriors and over a dozen Spirit Martial realm warriors—such a massive act—those Profound sects would surely not let Qin Yun off!

Moreover, Qin Yun had used a Dao Pill to attack, which was also a taboo in Wuhuang!

Upon learning of Qin Yun's actions, Xing Feike was also shocked, realizing he had underestimated Qin Yun!

"You old bastards! You were the ones who took me to be sacrificed, trying to kill me!" Qin Yun retorted angrily. "With your great strength, you captured me and placed me on the sacrificial altar to bleed me dry, disregarding my life. Why don't you mention that?"

"Old Lady Du was there at the time, she can testify. If you don't believe me, go ask her!"

Wei Zhongzheng, who had initially felt the situation was tricky, now coldly said, "You used a living person as a sacrifice to open the immortal tomb! It serves you right that Xiao Yun fought back in anger!"

"You... but he used a Dao Pill to attack us! This is a taboo in Wuhuang. If he had used other means to retaliate, we would have accepted it! But he used a Spirit Martial realm Dao Pill!" One of the Xuan Martial realm elders stubbornly clung to the issue of the Dao Pill.

The over twenty Xuan Martial realm elders and dozens of Spirit Martial realm warriors present all accused Qin Yun of using the Dao Pill!

"You bunch of scoundrels!" Qin Yun roared in anger, never expecting them to be so shameless as to admit to using a living sacrifice and then claim they could openly retaliate against him.

At this moment, many Xuan Martial realm elders began to clamor for Qin Yun's punishment.

Although Wei Zhongzheng was also at the Xuan Martial realm, his strength was limited, and he couldn't stand against so many people.

In this matter, Qin Yun had been caught at a fatal point, making it very difficult to resolve!

"Wei Zhongzheng, if you shield him, you are opposing all the righteous sects of Wuhuang!" The Xuan Martial realm elder coldly declared.

"Righteous sects?" Qin Yun almost wanted to vomit upon hearing this.

Wei Zhongzheng took a deep breath and said, "The Spirit Martial realm Dao Pill in Xiao Yun's hands must have been picked up! He was captured by you for sacrifice and barely escaped. Out of anger, he used it to retaliate against you, which is understandable! But you were also at fault first. Why don't we both take a step back?"

"I, Wei Zhongzheng, am willing to accept punishment on Qin Yun's behalf! I will stand here without moving, and all of you who were at the immortal tomb can each strike me once. How about that?"

Qin Yun was stunned and quickly said, "Sect Leader, I take full responsibility for my actions! This has nothing to do with you. Don't negotiate with them; they were the ones who did wrong first!"

Wei Zhongzheng looked at Qin Yun and said, "You are already a disciple of the Nine Extremes Profound Sect. I am willing to bear the consequences of your mistakes! Just don't make them again in the future! If anyone ever tries to use you as a sacrifice again, I, Wei Zhongzheng, will never let them off!"

After discussing, the three Xuan Martial realm warriors also agreed.

After all, using Qin Yun as a sacrifice was disgraceful.

If Qin Yun had no sect background, it would be one thing, but now he belongs to the Nine Extremes Profound Sect. If they continued to entangle, their act of using a living person as a sacrifice would also be held against them.

"Alright, let's begin now!" said an elder of the Xuan Martial realm.

The others stepped down from the martial platform and activated its formation!

Qin Yun was also pulled off the platform by several elders from the Nine Extremes Profound Sect. He was furious, his eyes filled with killing intent as he glared at the group!

Suddenly, that elder charged at Wei Zhongzheng, striking him in the abdomen with a palm strike!

Boom!

The palm strike of the Xuan Martial realm was terrifying. Even with the formation in place, it caused the ground to shake violently for a moment.

Wei Zhongzheng only had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't take a single step back!

"I heard Wei Zhongzheng is at the peak of the Xuan Martial realm, almost reaching the Martial King realm. His strength is also formidable!"

"The elder who struck just now didn't use his full power; otherwise, the formation wouldn't have held!"

"Wei Zhongzheng also saw this, which is why he stood there to take their strikes—they wouldn't dare to unleash their true power, or they would destroy this place! The royal sects of Xuanwu Qitian Mountain would definitely investigate this matter!"

The second Xuan Martial realm elder stepped forward and struck Wei Zhongzheng with a powerful palm strike.

This time, Wei Zhongzheng took a few steps back, his expression worsening.

When the third Xuan Martial realm elder stepped forward, a single palm strike sent Wei Zhongzheng flying, crashing into a formation pillar.

"Sect Leader!" Qin Yun's eyes were red and filled with tears. This was clearly his matter, yet Wei Zhongzheng was willing to suffer to settle it for him!

Such a righteous and selfless sect leader earned the silent admiration of many!

Anyone could see that Wei Zhongzheng was severely injured!

Next, fifteen Spirit Martial realm warriors would step forward to strike him!

Although they were only at the Spirit Martial realm, the cumulative force of their strikes would still be terrifying.

When a Spirit Martial realm warrior stepped forward, Qin Yun quickly shouted, "Wait! Let's proceed with the martial competition. We can continue after the match!"

Granny Ye, who was also supporting Qin Yun, quickly said, "That's right, the martial selection competition of the Profound Hero Assembly must not be missed! Qin Yun, Xing Feike, step onto the platform and prepare to begin!"

Wei Zhongzheng was helped down, and the four Spirit Martial realm elders quickly began to treat his injuries.

Qin Yun planned to delay time on the martial platform, allowing Wei Zhongzheng to recover faster.

His intentions were clear to the elders present.

The City Lord of Luo Xuan and those Xuan Martial realm elders were quite familiar, so they surely hated Qin Yun. He said to Xing Feike, "Ake, don't let him delay for too long. Finish it quickly! And, take him out!"

"You are also a disciple of Jian Xuan Mountain! Qin Yun is the one who caused the disappearance of Jian Xuan Mountain's sect leader. Killing him will establish your prestige in Jian Xuan Mountain! If Jian Xuanzi returns, he will also reward you!"

Hearing this, Xing Feike's face was filled with excitement, his eyes showing no concealment of his malice!

When Xing Feike stepped onto the martial platform, Hong Yan and Jiang Zhihu were both extremely worried!

Qin Yun was not afraid. When he was at the ninth level of the Martial Body stage, he had already defeated Xiao Yanglong.

As for Xing Feike, he had just stepped into the Martial Path realm and relied on various dirty tricks to get this far. His real strength wasn't all that impressive.

If it weren't for his dirty tactics, he would never have been able to defeat Jiang Zhihu!

Once Granny Ye activated the formation, she yelled, "Three, two, one, begin!"

Xing Feike stood in place and swung his palm, sending out a burst of golden mist!

Qin Yun immediately guessed that Xing Feike was about to use something dirty.

As soon as the golden mist appeared, Qin Yun was engulfed by it and felt something shooting towards him.

"More hidden weapons!"

Qin Yun had already prepared for this. He channeled his inner energy to create an invisible shield!
