#1356 - Chapter 1356 A Traitor Appears

Ye Kong helplessly opened his mouth.

“Perhaps we still need to borrow the help of Elder Cheng Tian.”

Unfortunately, good luck was not on their side.

Black clouds pressed down.

A storm was coming.

They had no choice but to descend the mountain.

Descending the mountain was much easier than imagined. The exit was right there in plain sight, and even the words 'exit' were capitalized and bolded, very conspicuous.

As soon as the group came out of the mountain, they saw Elder Cheng Tian and other elders standing at the exit, smiling at Ye Kong and the others.

Behind Elder Cheng Tian, Xu Zhang and Zhang Wen, whom everyone had been searching for high and low, were standing to the side. One of them lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Kong, while the other was completely different, staring contemptuously at the people behind Ye Kong.

Cheng Wen trotted over directly, his tone anxious, “Senior Brother Xu Zhang, why are you following this bad guy? We've been looking for you for so long. When did you come out?”

Xu Zhang looked at Cheng Wen, then looked apologetically at Ye Kong, and then explained, “When I fell off the cliff, the distress signal on my hand was somehow pressed. When I woke up from my coma, I found myself in Elder Cheng Tian's lounge.”

Xu Zhang walked towards Ye Kong, then knelt down, his head heavily hitting the ground.

“This kowtow is to thank you, my master, for helping me so much.”

“It's my fault that caused all of this. I voluntarily withdraw. I'm very happy to see Master and my fellow disciples come out safely. I hope everyone doesn't hold a grudge against me. I will ask to leave the mountain today, and I will never set foot on the Tengyun Sect again in this life.”

Cheng Wen immediately came over to help him up, “But this is not your fault. Even if it was unintentional, I believe Master will understand you.”

Before Ye Kong could speak, Xu Zhang had already stood up and left the Tengyun Sect without looking back in front of everyone.

Ye Kong sighed and said nothing more.

Elder Cheng Tian added, “By the way, Ye Kong, you also have a good disciple. However, he has already given up on you and joined my Cheng Mansion.”

“Is that so?” Ye Kong didn't even look at Zhang Wen, waved his hand, and led the others away.

Chun Xiao took two steps forward and scolded Zhang Wen, “Everyone is going crazy looking for you. How could you betray everyone and be with this Elder Cheng Tian? Are you even human?”

Zhang Wen sneered and revealed the truth, “What, did you have to fall off a cliff like Xu Zhang and fall into a coma? If Elder Cheng Tian hadn't rescued him, he would have died long ago.

I'm telling you, you're not qualified to point fingers at me either. You have a good relationship with Ye Kong, so you're most likely to be left behind. Don't act like you're not getting any benefits!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces looked ugly.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Chun Xiao threw a punch at Zhang Wen.

Ye Kong didn't turn his head and walked away.

Chun Xiao was dragged by Qing Long and Cheng Wen, who also covered his mouth, and followed closely behind Ye Kong.

Elder Cheng Tian pointed at Ye Kong's back and told Zhang Wen, “See? I told you a long time ago, Ye Kong is a coward. He doesn't even dare to say a word when his disciple is bullied.

You will have a great future if you follow me!”

Zhang Wen immediately followed closely, trying his best to please, “Okay, Master, from now on, I will work like an ox or a horse and be at your disposal!”

The warm scene lasted for no more than three seconds before a disciple ran over and broke the harmonious scene.

“It's not good, Elder, the dining hall has collapsed in a fire!”

“What? Take me to see!”

The group returned to Qingliang Garden. As soon as they opened the door, Yu Hai was sitting by the well washing clothes, and Xiao Man was saying something in his ear. Seeing the people at the door, they were surprised for a moment and immediately stood up.

Yu Hai put down the clothes in his hand and walked towards Ye Kong, “You're finally back!”

Xiao Man pouted unhappily, “Ye Kong, what took you so long? I thought you were going to live in Mount Xuan Yuan?”

“Yu Hai, go to the small kitchen and get some food for everyone. After everyone eats, take a rest. Tomorrow we will continue training.” After Ye Kong finished arranging, he entered the room. After a while, slight snoring could be heard.

Yu Hai accepted the order and quickly left.

Xiao Man looked at the people behind her, counted them twice, and asked with suspicion, “Wait, why is there one less person? I remember there were eight, weren't there? Why are there only six now?”

Li Fan took over the conversation, “One left, and one followed Elder Cheng Tian. This Mount Xuan Yuan is really dangerous. We have to stay away from it in the future.”

“How could there be someone who would defect to Elder Cheng Tian? Can't you see what kind of person Elder Cheng Tian is? Really!” Xiao Man was a little angry. After speaking, she glanced at the room, “So, Ye Kong is a little angry too, right?”

Li Fan deliberately increased his volume, “Not just a little, Ye Kong's nose is crooked with anger!”

The snoring in the room stopped at some point. After a while, a shoe flew out!

Yu Hai walked to the dining hall and saw this scene.

Most of the dining hall had collapsed. The charred beams had fallen in pieces. Large groups of disciples were fetching water from the river to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong and the losses were too heavy.

Elder Cheng Tian was cursing and complaining on the side, completely lacking his usual amiable image.

That wasn't all. Yu Hai saw that although most of the dining hall had been burned, Ye Kong's private small kitchen was still standing tall in the fire. Moreover, the food had already been prepared and placed in a corner by the side door of the dining hall. Seeing Yu Hai coming over, he beckoned him to come and get the food.

Yu Hai carried the food bucket over to serve the food, and asked, “How did the dining hall suddenly catch fire? And why does it seem like Ye Kong's private small kitchen is not affected at all?”

“We don't know either. The fire started suddenly, and no one expected it. It just happened to bypass us. The other windows were burned a bit badly, and the area contracted by Elder Cheng Tian was burned the worst.” The disciple covered his mouth and laughed, adding, “Who knows, maybe it's retribution.”

I don't know about retribution, but some people should already be feeling good!

Elder Cheng Tian's disciples couldn't get food and were about to turn Cheng Mansion upside down.

Compared to the chaotic atmosphere over there, this side was much calmer.

Yu Hai carried the food back and gossiped about the matter to everyone. Everyone ate the hot food and chatted about it as if it were a joke. Of course, everyone had their own ideas about who the instigator was.

After eating, sleepiness came over them, and everyone fell into a dream.

In the dark night, Li Fan felt something scratch his face. Before he could speak, Ye Kong directly lifted him onto the roof.

Li Fan couldn't even open his sleepy eyes and complained, “What did you call me out here for? It's late at night, and I'm trying to sleep!”

“Tomorrow is the entrance disciple examination!” Ye Kong's words instantly woke Li Fan up.
