Chapter 342 – Another secret of the Sect Master has been added

Yang Ling angrily retorted, "What do you mean by 'words alone are not enough'? We have both witnesses and evidence.

Even though you are the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, with a higher status than mine, you cannot arbitrarily persecute the disciples of Shu Mountain.

Otherwise, if our Shu Mountain army presses forward, even your Hundred Flowers Sect won't be able to withstand it!"

Yang Ling was well aware that her words carried little weight and that her status was not as high as the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect. Therefore, she had no choice but to invoke the powerful name of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to exert pressure.

The Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect shook her head and said, "Witnesses and evidence? Where is the evidence? Even the witnesses are unclear, let alone the evidence!

Elder Yang, I know the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is powerful, but my Hundred Flowers Sect is not a pushover to be easily manipulated.

If you think you can trample on my Hundred Flowers Sect with just a few words, you are daydreaming. Save your breath and go back to Shu Mountain.

Otherwise, I won't be polite anymore!

If I suppress you, the higher-ups of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect will have to come and ransom you, and that won't look good on you."

The Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, naturally, would not be threatened by an elder like Yang Ling, so she responded mercilessly.

Although Yang Ling was just an elder, she wasn't intimidated at this moment. She spoke firmly, "If I go back, the next one to come might be Sect Master Lin Jinghong of Shu Mountain. Clan Master Liu, perhaps you don't know, but our Sect Master of Shu Mountain has a terrible temper, unlike me who is easy to talk to!"

Yang Ling's words, in fact, did not pose any real threat to the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect. Instead, they made Meng Fan's heart skip a beat.

He had heard more than once that Sect Master Lin Jinghong had a bad temper!

This was not good news for him.

He had hoped the Sect Master would be a kind and amiable old man.

But that was wishful thinking. How could a demonic path undercover agent be kind?

Knowing too many secrets about the Sect Master always made him feel uneasy.

Unlike Meng Fan's unease, the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect sneered and said mockingly, "Lin Jinghong? Haha, you better go back and find him now. I would like to see if he dares to come to my Hundred Flowers Sect!"

Yang Ling frowned, feeling that the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect was insulting their Sect Master, which filled her with anger.

But Meng Fan keenly sensed something unusual. The Clan Master's tone further confirmed his previous suspicions.

The Sect Master definitely had some unspeakable history with the Hundred Flowers Sect.

He had just been thinking that knowing too many secrets about the Sect Master was not a good thing!

Now it seemed like there was another secret to add to the list.

The most crucial part was that this time, it was in front of a large crowd. If he learned something he shouldn't know, he wouldn't be able to hide it.

This was trouble.

This secret was something he couldn't afford to hear!

Meng Fan made a quick decision and said to Yang Ling, "Elder Yang, why don't we retreat for now? We need to plan this carefully. With just the two of us, it's a bit..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

After all, saying more would only boost the enemy's morale and diminish their own. Moreover, based on his understanding, Elder Yang's fiery temper wouldn't appreciate such words.

So he left it at that.

Yang Ling was silent for a moment. She actually thought Meng Fan made sense.

In the current situation, even a fool could see they were at a disadvantage.

Moreover, she had come here to gather information, not to challenge the entire Hundred Flowers Sect on her own.

Now, the information she had gathered was already sufficient.

Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she was certain that her disciple, Li Xuerou, was definitely within the Hundred Flowers Sect!

However, even though she was ready to retreat, she didn't show any weakness on her face and spoke boldly, "I can leave, but your Hundred Flowers Sect should prepare to face the wrath of the Sect Master of Shu Mountain!"

Even at Elder Yang's level, she still resorted to using the authority of her sect.

Meng Fan found it... quite amusing.

It seemed that no matter how high one's cultivation level or realm, cultivators were still—human!

Yang Ling took out her flying boat and stepped onto it.

Meng Fan hurried to follow, but Zhong Lingxiu grabbed his arm.

"You can't leave! You falsely accused me and tarnished my reputation. You must explain yourself today!" Zhong Lingxiu said angrily.

Meng Fan turned back in surprise, looking at Zhong Lingxiu's jade-like hand gripping his arm. He said, "Senior Sister Zhong, your words might be misunderstood by others, making them think there's some unspeakable intimacy between us."

Zhong Lingxiu frowned, realizing the unusual looks from the people around them. She was startled and quickly let go.

Meng Fan seized the opportunity and leaped onto Elder Yang's flying boat.

His speed was even faster than a scoundrel fleeing after pulling up his pants!

Just as Yang Ling was about to control the flying boat to leave the Hundred Flowers Sect and return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, a voice suddenly interrupted their departure.

"Master, Brother Meng Fan, don't worry, I'm fine!"

Meng Fan and Yang Ling's eyes lit up with joy as they turned around in unison.

They saw a woman in white walking out from the gates of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

It was Li Xuerou!

Although the woman in white, like the Clan Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, wore a veil, Yang Ling and Meng Fan recognized her at a glance.

"Dear disciple, are you alright?" Yang Ling hurried to Li Xuerou's side, carefully examining her for any injuries.

To her surprise, she found that not only was Li Xuerou unharmed, but she had also gained some weight.

It was unbelievable!

Moreover, this weight gain was not from eating but from an overabundance of spiritual energy within her body.

This made Yang Ling quite amazed. Her disciple was treated so well in the Hundred Flowers Sect?

It seemed she wasn't captured but rather treated as an honored guest.

Most importantly, Li Xuerou had the freedom to move around and wasn't restricted.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to come to them on her own.

"Dear disciple, how did you end up here?" Yang Ling asked curiously.

At this point, she no longer believed that the Hundred Flowers Sect had forcibly taken Li Xuerou.

But she was still puzzled as to why Li Xuerou was in the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Meng Fan also stood beside Li Xuerou, looking at her curiously, filled with questions.

"Master, Brother Meng Fan, it wasn't the Hundred Flowers Sect that captured me. I came here on my own," Li Xuerou said.

However, her words only made Meng Fan and Yang Ling even more puzzled.
