#695 - Chapter 695: Blame It on Others

Beside him, Xiao Wu had just picked up his hoe, not even started working, when a sudden thud scared him witless.

Lately, he had been hearing about unrest in the Immortal Realm; could it be targeting their Star River Sect?

Thinking this, Xiao Wu immediately dropped his hoe and, without a second thought, retraced his steps.

Now, only Qin Wuyi was left in the cesspool, struggling and thrashing about.

But no matter how fiercely he thrashed, no one came to help.

"Master, it's me!"

Xiaoshan saw Ye Kong's movements in the lamplight, worried that Ye Kong would hurt him, and quickly called out.

Ye Kong went out to meet him and saw that Xiaoshan was covered in water, with mud all over his trouser legs.

Looking at Little Green, it wasn't much better off than Xiaoshan.

"Speak, where did you go?"

Xiaoshan looked pitiful: "Master, a thief broke into my Carefree Peak, and I took care of him."

Ye Kong was very suspicious of the thief Xiaoshan mentioned.

So late at night, what kind of thief could there be?

Besides, if there were a thief, shouldn't he be the first to know?

"Where is the thief? Take me to see?"

Ye Kong asked, looking suspicious, beckoning Xiaoshan.

Helpless, Xiaoshan had to take Ye Kong to the place where he had pushed Qin Wuyi into the water.

In the latrine, Qin Wuyi tried several times to struggle out, but each time he was struck back into the pit by the water beast guarding the edge of the latrine.

Qin Wuyi, with no hope of escape, had to shout for help.

The water beast probably didn't expect that Qin Wuyi, facing death, would still dare to shout for help, and immediately pressed Qin Wuyi's head down to submerge him.

Just then, Ye Kong came out and heard a sound that sounded familiar.

He quickly turned his head and asked Xiaoshan: "Who did you push down there?"

Xiaoshan stammered, unable to answer.

Ye Kong sensed that something was wrong and immediately rushed forward, taking three steps in two.

He saw Qin Wuyi struggling desperately, covered in wriggling maggots.

As Qin Wuyi struggled, a terribly foul odor emanated from his body, causing Ye Kong to step back.

"Qin Wuyi, why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you doing here at my place?"

This place was very close to the spiritual vein, and Ye Kong had already guessed Qin Wuyi's purpose in coming here.

Therefore, he pretended not to know anything and asked Qin Wuyi.

Qin Wuyi couldn't take it anymore, and without regard for anything else, he shouted for help to Ye Kong.

"Ye Kong, quickly pull me up, I can't take it anymore!"

Ye Kong stared at Qin Wuyi for a moment, then put his hands behind his back.

"No, I'm afraid of getting dirty, you can come up yourself."

Seeing that Ye Kong was standing by idly, Qin Wuyi immediately used his ability to throw tantrums and act shamelessly, shouting loudly all over the peak.

His cries were so miserable that they instantly echoed throughout the entire Star River Sect.

"Why aren't you sleeping, what are you all doing here in the middle of the night?"

Ye Kong saw Qin Wuyi roaring, and was about to pull him up when a sudden voice rang out behind him.

Not to mention Xiaoshan, even Ye Kong was startled by the silent sound.

"Sect Leader?"

Qin Wuyi, who hadn't had time to climb out of the cesspool, was the first to react, looking at Luo Yangtian, who had suddenly appeared, and stammered.

"Sect Leader, you, why are you here?"

Qin Wuyi looked at the suddenly appearing Luo Yangtian and asked uncertainly.

"Summon everyone, meet at the Star River Hall!"

Luo Yangtian didn't turn his head, his tone was cold, he left these words behind, and flicked his sleeves and left.

Star River Sect, as Luo Yangtian's order fell.

Instantly, countless immortal cranes soared into the sky, instantly transforming into white-clothed girls, going to each peak to report and call people.

Many peak masters had already gone to bed early.

After being called up from their sleep by their disciples one by one, they still carried an undisguisable sleepiness.

"Does the Sect Leader have something important to call us for so late?"

"Yes, we have never seen the Sect Leader ask us to hold a meeting at night in all these years since the sect was founded."

"Stop talking, let's go quickly, we'll be scolded if we're late."

… …

Many people were discussing and speculating about the reason for the Sect Leader's summons this time.

Star River Hall, in less than a quarter of an hour, several white cranes descended from the sky one after another.

The first to arrive was Yao Zidan, the peak master of Pill Peak, followed by Xiao Wu, the peak master of Martial Arts Peak… …

In less than a while, eight of the nine peak masters had arrived.

Even Ye Kong, who was always late, came leisurely.

Looking at the empty seat of Qin Wuyi, the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, everyone speculated about what he had gone to do.

"Is everyone here?"

Luo Yangtian slowly ascended to the highest position with the support of several elders, looking down and asking.

Seeing this, Zhu Neng, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, who was responsible for maintaining order, hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his fist.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, Qin Wuyi, the peak master of Beast Taming Peak, has not yet arrived."

Hearing this, Luo Yangtian slowly raised the corners of his lips and said: "The peak master failed to arrive on time, according to sect law, what punishment should be given?"

Sect Leader Luo Yangtian had always been kind and had not used particularly harsh punishments, let alone such a trivial matter as being late.

Just as Zhu Neng was hesitating and racking his brains for a method, Qin Wuyi, who was late, arrived.

As soon as he entered the hall, a terribly foul smell wafted through the entire hall.

The smell was very pungent, and on a drowsy night, it was like a powerful stimulant, instantly waking everyone in the hall.

"What happened to Qin Wuyi?"

Everyone saw that Qin Wuyi was covered in fecal matter and pinched their noses, frowning.

Perhaps the action of everyone frowning stimulated Qin Wuyi, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Qin Wuyi's face.

He had just managed to climb out of the cesspool, but the immortal crane would not let him ride it no matter what.

He couldn't even go back to clean the dirt on his body, so he had to rush over with a stench.

At this time, Qin Wuyi saw that everyone was frowning and couldn't help but blush.

"Sect Leader, Qin is late, I request punishment!"

"It doesn't matter, think carefully, why would you go to Carefree Peak in the middle of the night, could you have been bewitched by someone else?"

Luo Yangtian was very abnormal today, raising the matter high and putting it down lightly.

The words he spoke made people inadvertently have some reverie.

Luo Yangtian, who was covered in stench, heard Luo Yangtian's words, looked at Ye Kong, and suddenly had an idea.

He slightly bent his knees and cried to Luo Yangtian.

"Please, Sect Leader, make the decision, Ye Kong doesn't know what madness he's gone into, asking me to go to their peak to dig up the spiritual vein."

"I didn't agree, so I was kicked into the cesspool by his monstrous disciple!"

"Peak Master Xiao can testify for us!"
