Chapter 2922: Betraying the Academy

Translator: Legge

On the Enforcement Platform.

Yang Ruoxu stood with his head held high, as though he could not feel the pain in his body and recounted everything he had seen and heard over the years loudly.

Gradually, a commotion sounded from the crowd.

“Shut up!”

Zhang Hua hollered and interrupted Yang Ruoxu. At the same time, he raised his Enforcement Whip and whipped Yang Ruoxu continuously.

Every single whip was so deep that his bones could be seen!

Yang Ruoxu’s body would tremble as well.

However, he was still unwilling to submit. He merely looked at Zhang Hua coldly and shouted, “I went to pay my respects to Junior Brother Su because I knew that he was innocent!”

“He was not wrong nor did he let the academy or the Sect Master down. The Sect Master was the one who let him down! The Sect Master wanted to take his Creation Green Lotus and life for himself. That was why he had no choice but to resist!”

“Back then, I was the one who brought Junior Brother Su into the academy. If not for me, he would not have encountered this calamity. Even if I die here today, I have to clear his name!”

“Shut up!”

“Don’t let him continue!”

A group of Perfected Immortals berated loudly.

“If you guys don’t believe me, you can invite the Sect Master over and I’ll confront him face to face!” Yang Ruoxu sneered.

Zhang Hua raised his whip once more and scolded loudly, “You traitor, how can someone like you be worthy of confronting the Sect Master?!”

Yang Ruoxu’s body was almost smashed by the Enforcement Whip in Zhang Hua’s hands. There was a pool of blood beneath his feet and the flesh that was torn off his body was scattered.

Even so, Yang Ruoxu did not retreat with a resolute gaze based on the righteousness in his chest and some obsession in his heart!

Princess Scarlet Rainbow cried.

If not for Mo Qing holding her back, she would have charged forward and endured such suffering with Yang Ruoxu.

The disciples of the academy below had conflicted expressions when they saw that.

Many of them could not understand.

Why?

Was the truth that important?

Why was he so insistent?

Wasn’t it good to bow down and admit defeat? Why was there a need to be so stubborn?

In fact, some disciples of the academy mocked softly and said disdainfully, “How silly.”

A ruthless glint flashed through Zhang Hua’s eyes. Suddenly, he stepped forward and slapped Yang Ruoxu’s glabella, grabbing!

Yang Ruoxu’s Dao Fruit had already landed in Zhang Hua’s palm!

“How dare you maintain that sharp tongue. Watch me cripple your Dao Fruit!”

Zhang Hua exerted strength in his palm and True Essence condensed. With a crack, he crushed Yang Ruoxu’s Dao Fruit and countless Dharmic arts dissipated in the world, scattering the Dao Fruit fragments on the ground.

Suddenly, the world fell into a momentary pause.

Mo Qing opened her mouth slightly. She had not expected Zhang Hua to be so ruthless as to cripple Yang Ruoxu’s Dao Fruit directly!

Crippling Yang Ruoxu’s cultivation was even crueler than killing him.

Even if he could survive and was expelled from the academy, it would be difficult for him to survive in the cultivation world without his cultivation.

“Ruoxu!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow cried out tragically and broke free from Mo Qing’s palm, lunging to Yang Ruoxu’s side.

Without the Dao Fruit, Yang Ruoxu’s aura became even weaker.

Initially, he was severely injured. However, he still had the Dao Fruit in his consciousness after all and could survive.

But now, even that bit of life in him was about to dissipate.

“Scarlet Rainbow, I’m sorry…”

Yang Ruoxu lowered his head and looked at Princess Scarlet Rainbow who was slumped at his feet with deep guilt and reluctance in his eyes.

Of course, Zhang Hua could kill Yang Ruoxu directly, but it would not be enough to vent his hatred.

Only by making him submit in front of him in front of everyone and confess to the Sect Master of the Academy could he show his methods!

Initially, Zhang Hua could not do anything to Yang Ruoxu. However, when he saw Princess Scarlet Rainbow, his gaze landed on her abdomen. A thought flashed through his mind and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “Yang Ruoxu, is it that difficult for you to admit your guilt?”

Suddenly, Zhang Hua said, “Even if you don’t think for yourself, why don’t you think for your child?”

Yang Ruoxu’s expression changed as he used his last bit of strength to grit his teeth and say hatefully, “Zhang Hua, what are you doing?! This is my business and has nothing to do with others. Don’t implicate the innocent!”

“Fufu.”

When Zhang Hua saw Yang Ruoxu’s reaction, he felt even more smug and chuckled. “Princess Scarlet Rainbow and the child in her womb are not innocent.”

Zhang Hua realized that he had already grasped Yang Ruoxu’s weakness and said, “This child will be a sinner from the moment he’s born. He’ll definitely be looked down upon and bullied. What should I do? Perhaps I should take him in as my underling and impart the Dharmic Dao to him personally?”

“I’ll also tell him that his father is a sinner who betrayed his master and sect and is a traitor of the academy. I’ll tell him not to be like his father in the future…”

“Zhang Hua, how dare you…”

“Pfft!”

Yang Ruoxu was agitated and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Kneel and confess!”

Zhang Hua smiled and pointed in front of him, saying those words indifferently.

“That’s enough!”

Mo Qing could not stand it any longer and stood out, shouting, “Zhang Hua, let’s not talk about whether Junior Brother Yang is telling the truth or not. Are you still human to threaten him with his child?!”

Zhang Hua glanced at Mo Qing and frowned slightly.

As one of the four great fairies, Mo Qing was extremely famous not only in Heaven and Earth Academy, but even in the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain.

“I heard that Senior Sister Mo Qing has something going on with that traitor, Su Zimo…”

Right then, a voice sounded from the crowd.

“That seems to be the case. Previously, Senior Sister Mo Qing had a good relationship with Su Zimo and stood up for him a few times.”

“Senior Sister Mo Qing is so protective of Yang Ruoxu. Could it be that she trusts Su Zimo and suspects the Sect Master as well?”

“So what if she’s the Painting Immortal? She’s in the wrong as long as she suspects the Sect Master!”

Gradually, a commotion sounded from the crowd.

Mo Qing surveyed her surroundings.

The way many cultivators looked at her had already begun to change.

That was the same gaze that this group of people had when they looked at Yang Ruoxu earlier on.

Like a pack of hungry wolves with red eyes, they wanted to pounce on her and tear her into pieces!

Zhang Hua looked at Mo Qing and smiled. “Senior Sister Mo Qing, you saw it too. Everyone is a little suspicious of you. Why don’t you explain it to everyone?”

“As long as you admit personally that Su Zimo is a traitor and draw a clear line with him, no one will make things difficult for you today.”

Mo Qing was enraged and asked, “I won’t admit to it. What do you want?!”

“In that case, you’re also a traitor!”

“Tie her up and tear her face off!”

Two fairies said fiercely.

Over the years, the Painting Immortal had monopolized the status as the number one fairy of the academy.

Mo Qing was always high and mighty. No matter how hard they worked, they could never compare to Painting Immortal Mo Qing and could only look up to her.

But now, they finally saw an opportunity to pull Mo Qing down from her pedestal!

“Come on!”

Mo Qing slapped her storage bag and summoned her Painting Book, saying in a deep voice, “Today, I’ll stand with Junior Brother Yang!”

“I won’t surrender. If anyone dares to touch Junior Brother Yang again, don’t blame me for disregarding our relationship as fellow disciples!”

“Mo Qing, you’re betraying the academy!”

Zhang Hua hollered.

Mo Qing took a deep breath and said the most disrespectful and bravest thing she had ever said in her entire cultivation life!

“Heaven and Earth Academy has already relegated to such a state.. So what if I betray it?!”
