Chapter 753 770: Repaying Evil with Virtue
Xia Yuyi dodged to the side but did not call for help. In this situation, calling for help could easily bring other people to assist!"Senior Sister Qing Feng!" Xia Yuyi furrowed her brows, her delicate jade hands blocking Qing Feng's wrist holding the dagger.
Qing Feng did not retreat but tightly gripped the dagger and continued to stab at Xia Yuyi. Xia Yuyi's previous illness had not yet healed, making her dodge rather awkwardly, almost being stabbed by Qing Feng's dagger!
"Qing Feng, are you truly ruthless enough? We've been sisters for over ten years; do you really want to kill me for the sect leader position?" Xia Yuyi's eyes turned cold as she spoke.
Qing Feng looked at Xia Yuyi, her gaze flickered slightly, seemingly hesitating. It must be said, Qing Feng had a good relationship with Xia Yuyi, like sworn sisters. Qing Feng has always cared for Xia Yuyi, who always considered Qing Feng as her own sister!
"Yu Yi, I really don't want to kill you, but I can't stop myself. If blame is due, blame the Master; she shouldn't have given the sect leader position to you!" Qing Feng said coldly.
"Senior Sister Qing Feng, do you really want to be the sect leader, or is there another reason? If the Golden Leaf Sect Leader killed your parents years ago, the Golden Leaf Sect Leader has already died by your hand, your revenge is complete, why do you need to be the sect leader?" Xia Yuyi asked, frowning.
"Do you know why the Golden Leaf Sect Leader wanted to kill my parents?" Qing Feng questioned.
"Why?"
"Because my parents were members of the Heaven and Earth Society, and I consider myself a part of it too, so the Dark Night Sect must be taken down!" Qing Feng revealed the truth.
Xia Yuyi was surprised upon hearing this, "Qing Feng is actually a Heaven and Earth Society member?"
To be exact, Qing Feng isn't really a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, but her parents were, and of quite high standing!
"Senior Sister Qing Feng, you were adopted by our master since childhood and grew up in the Dark Night Sect; you are a member of the Dark Night Sect, not the Heaven and Earth Society. Even if your parents were part of the Heaven and Earth Society, that's them, not you." Xia Yuyi continued to persuade, hoping to bring back the senior sister who had cared for her since childhood.
However, some things don't happen the way you want. Qing Feng, having taken this step, killed the Golden Leaf Sect Leader, and now there's no turning back. "Yu Yi, I can't go back now. If there's a chance, let's be sisters in the next life underground!"
After Qing Feng finished speaking, a powerful killing intent surged; if Qing Feng hadn't fully resolved to kill earlier, now she absolutely was! Because her facial expression and gaze had completely changed from before!
After Qing Feng revealed her association with the Heaven and Earth Society to Xia Yuyi, it meant Xia Yuyi had to die, essentially blocking Qing Feng's own inner retreat! Xia Yuyi watched as Qing Feng's dagger neared; with her power and injuries, she couldn't dodge and could only watch as the dagger approached!
At the critical moment, just as the dagger was about to pierce Xia Yuyi's chest, a figure suddenly flashed in from outside the room! Swiftly passing between Xia Yuyi and Qing Feng, Qing Feng's dagger halted, hovering near Xia Yuyi's chest!
The figure that suddenly appeared was none other than Lin Mu! Everything unfolded as Lin Mu predicted; Qing Feng indeed decided to act tonight!
Since tonight was the last night, and the succession ceremony would be held tomorrow, if Qing Feng was indeed seeking the sect leader position, she would act tonight, otherwise missing the opportunity. Lin Mu grabbed Qing Feng's wrist and flung it aside, causing Qing Feng to smash into the wall; compared to Lin Mu, Qing Feng's martial arts were far inferior, making her no match for Lin Mu!
Qing Feng hit the wall, the violent impact forced a mouthful of blood from her mouth, and Lin Mu subsequently summoned the Dark Night Sect disciples, being an outsider to the sect, Lin Mu had no authority to handle sect affairs, so Qing Feng's matters must be dealt with by the Dark Night Sect itself!
The disciples of the Dark Night Sect came to understand the situation immediately; hearing it firsthand, they were genuinely surprised that Qing Feng was the one who killed the Golden Leaf Sect Leader! Qing Feng had been raised by the Golden Leaf Sect Leader since childhood, their bond akin to mother and daughter! Such deep affection between the two, who would have expected this to happen?
Of course, as an outsider with an outsider's perspective, Lin Mu found it easy to understand! Lin Mu briefly recounted the facts Qing Feng and Xia Yuyi discussed, overhearing from outside, made everyone realize there had been an extraordinary relationship, or enmity, between Qing Feng and the Golden Leaf Sect Leader!
What was more surprising was that Qing Feng was part of the Heaven and Earth Society, truly beyond everyone's expectations! Senior Silver Moon entered with a group of disciples and immediately controlled Qing Feng! According to sect rules, Qing Feng was undoubtedly sentenced to death; just her act of killing the Golden Leaf Sect Leader warranted death, not to mention all these unforgivable deeds she committed!
"Yu Yi, are you okay?" Lin Mu glanced at Xia Yuyi and asked.
"I'm fine!" Xia Yuyi shook her head, displaying a worried expression, "Senior Silver Moon, she..."
"Yu Yi, rest assured, I'll make it right for you. According to sect rules, she sought to kill you and killed the Golden Leaf Sect Leader; Qing Feng must be executed per the rules!" Senior Silver Moon stated.
"Senior Silver Moon, that's not what I meant; I plead for her to be spared a chance at life!" Xia Yuyi interceded for Qing Feng instead.
"Sparing her? Yu Yi, she was intent on killing you to seize the sect leader position and is a Heaven and Earth Society member; sparing her now would only leave trouble behind, wouldn't it?" Senior Silver Moon asked, puzzled.
"She aimed to kill me and indeed killed the Golden Leaf Sect Leader, but the deed is done, and even Qing Feng's death won't bring back the Golden Leaf Sect Leader. Let the past be past; expel her from the Dark Night Sect and spare her life!" Xia Yuyi pleaded.
Though Xia Yuyi was the sect leader's successor, Senior Silver Moon was still the most senior here, so naturally, Xia Yuyi sought Senior Silver Moon's opinion!
Senior Silver Moon glanced at Xia Yuyi, truthfully, Qing Feng had contributed significantly to the sect previously; she had saved Xia Yuyi's life, Silver Moon's life, and many disciples' lives in the sect!
Moreover, Qing Feng had always treated everyone well, cared for everyone, meaning not a single person in the sect spoke ill of her. Senior Silver Moon was indeed reluctant to see Qing Feng fall so low!
