2481 Failure of Yue Hua

Yang Ruoxu frowned when he heard that and said in a deep voice, “Senior Brother Xiao, betraying the sect to join the Fiend Domain is a grave crime. You can’t spout nonsense like that!”

“Since I dare to say it, I naturally have absolute confidence!”

Xiao Li sneered and glared at Su Zimo, shouting, “Su Zimo, tell me, where did your Dao child come from?!”

“What are you trying to say?”

Su Zimo asked expressionlessly.

When he saw Su Zimo’s reaction, Xiao Li was relieved. “It’s fine even if you don’t say it, I’ll tell everyone! The Dao child beside you is the Dao child of the Sect Master of the Fiend Domain’s Tianhuang Sect. He’s the Dao child of Desolate Martial!”

Su Zimo was expressionless.

At that time, Langfeng City was in chaos and many Perfected Immortals were only concerned about escaping from the pursuit of the Martial Dao Prime Body. It was impossible for anyone to see him return with Tao Yao.

Xiao Li’s words did not cause much of a reaction in the crowd.

Most of the academy disciples were confused.

How was this child named Tao Yao related to Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain?

When Xiao Li saw that no one had any reaction, he explained hurriedly, “The battle of Langfeng City in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain happened because a Dao child of Desolate Martial was captured. At that time, Su Zimo happened to appear in Langfeng City.”

“Before this, Su Zimo had never had a servant by his side. However, after he returned, he had a Dao child by his side!”

“Therefore, this Tao Yao is the Dao child of the Fiend Domain’s Desolate Martial!”

Many academy disciples rolled their eyes in disapproval.

Everyone thought that Xiao Li was so confident because he had strong evidence.

To think that he would forcefully combine the two matters and come to a conclusion that was filled with nonsense.

A disciple of the academy whispered, “Desolate Martial of the Fiend Domain went on a massacre in Langfeng City to save his Dao child. But in the end, he left happily and abandoned his Dao child there?”

“Perhaps Desolate Martial’s memory isn’t good and he forgot that he was there to save someone. That was how Senior Brother Su managed to pick up this kid…” Another person chimed in.

“Pfft!”

A few cultivators at the side could not help but laugh.

A disciple of the academy pouted. “If Tao Yao is truly Desolate Martial’s Dao child, why hasn’t Desolate Martial done anything after so many years?”

Another person added, “Given the character of Desolate Martial from the Fiend Domain, if he knew about this, shouldn’t he have charged into our Divine Firmament Immortal Domain like a mad dog?”

“Most importantly, if he’s Desolate Martial’s Dao child, why would Tao Yao be willing to stay by Senior Brother Su’s side? Could he have been moved by Senior Brother Su?”

“Pfft!”

Someone else could not help but laugh.

The cultivators at the side suppressed their laughter and their faces flushed red.

To everyone, Xiao Li’s speculation was a joke.

Su Zimo smiled without saying anything.

When he saw the reactions of the many disciples of the academy, Xiao Li panicked and looked awkward.

He knew that there were many loopholes in this matter.

However, since he had already decided to target Su Zimo, he could only grit his teeth and continue, “Everyone, I’m not done yet.”

“The fact that Su Zimo was able to return alive after that tragic battle in Langfeng City is strange to begin with!”

In reality, most of the people who died in Langfeng City were Perfected Immortal experts. There were almost no casualties among the other innocent people.

Without waiting for everyone to react, Xiao Li continued hurriedly, “There’s only a single possibility! Su Zimo has already submitted to Desolate Martial and became a chess piece that Desolate Martial buried in our academy!”

“That’s the reason why Su Zimo brought Desolate Martial’s Dao child back.”

This time round, before everyone from the academy could speak, Elder Chen could not take it anymore.

Elder Chen coughed gently. “Xiao Li, do you have any evidence? If not, I think everyone should…”

To Elder Chen, Xiao Li’s guess was way too ridiculous.

Xiao Li was stumped by Elder Chen and was helpless. Instinctively, he looked at Sword Immortal Yue Hua beside him.

“You want evidence? Easy.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua smirked and swept his gaze across Tao Yao. A hint of cruelty flashed through the depths of his eyes as he moved without warning!

“Mmm?”

Su Zimo’s expression changed.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s attack this time round was not targeted at him. Therefore, there was no reaction from his spirit perception.

It was too fast!

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s target was Tao Yao!

A top-tier Perfected Immortal like Sword Immortal Yue Hua attacked a Heaven Immortal. Without the help of his spirit perception, Su Zimo could not react at all.

He pulled Tao Yao hurriedly and wanted to dodge to the side.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

Buzz!

Sword Immortal Yue Hua arrived beside Tao Yao and reached out to grab the latter. However, right then, a change happened.

The badge on Tao Yao’s waist suddenly shone with a strange light that protected him.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua felt a sharp pain in his palm and could not touch Tao Yao!

With that slight delay, Su Zimo seized the opportunity to pull Tao Yao to retreat.

At the same time, Yang Ruoxu descended as well. Wielding the Righteousness Sword, he was righteous and his gaze was sharp as he blocked Sword Immortal Yue Hua in front of him!

Sword Immortal Yue Hua frowned slightly—he had failed?

The light that the Dao child emitted earlier on could defend against the power of a Perfected Immortal!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Right then, cracks appeared on the badge on Tao Yao’s waist and its glow dimmed.

Although the badge blocked Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s attack, it could not withstand his power and was crippled.

“Yue Hua, what are you doing?!”

Yang Ruoxu questioned loudly.

“It’s nothing.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua had an indifferent expression as he waved his palm and said casually, “Since everyone wants evidence, I wanted to imitate Su Zimo and search that Dao child’s soul.”

“You want to search the soul of an innocent person just because of your wild guesses?” Yang Ruoxu glared at him.

“Scram!”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s expression turned cold. “I’m the leader of the legacy disciples. How dare you try and stop me from searching the soul of a Dao child?!”

Yang Ruoxu did not retreat at all and asked, “What will you do if there’s no evidence after the Soul Searching Art?”

“If there’s nothing, so be it. It just means that I was in the wrong.”

Sword Immortal Yue Hua sneered, “Why? Do you want me to pay with my life for a lowlife Dao child? Even if I kill him, the Disciplinary Elder won’t say anything, let alone the fact that I merely intended to search his soul!”

As the leader of the legacy disciples, Sword Immortal Yue Hua’s power and status far surpassed others. Indeed, no one would stop him from dealing with a Dao child.

In the blink of an eye, the situation had developed to such an extent where two legacy disciples were in a stand-off with daggers drawn!

“Tao Tao, where are you?”

Right then, a call sounded from afar. It was pleasant and gentle with a hint of anxiety.

Everyone looked over.

In midair far away, a plain-robed woman was flying over.

Many cultivators merely glanced at her from afar and their eyes lit up. They could not shift their gazes away and were stunned.
