Chapter 114: A Traitor Appears in the Tianmo Sect
Hearing the sound, Mu Yuqing hurriedly looked up and asked, “What’s wrong? Speak clearly, don’t hesitate.”
The female attendant quickly walked up to Mu Yuqing, respectfully presented a stack of letters, and said, “Reporting to Sect Leader, this is the news from various branches.”
Mu Yuqing took the letters and looked them over for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she muttered, “How could this be?”
“Sect Leader, what happened?”
Seeing this, Grand Elder Changsun Wuji asked in confusion.
“Sigh.”
Hearing this, Mu Yuqing sighed, knowing that she couldn’t hide this news, so she had the female attendant pass the letters in her hand to the various Tianmo Sect elders. “These are distress letters from various branches. They have been attacked by a large number of unknown enemies, suffered heavy losses, and had various resources plundered.”
Hearing her say this, the elders quickly took the letters and began to read them.
The more they read, the more their faces suddenly changed drastically, and they exclaimed, “How could this be?”
The letters said that the identities of some of the people who attacked their Tianmo Sect had been ascertained. Among them were many small sects taking advantage of the chaos to try and seize some resources. Some of the enemies were even backed by the Qingyun Alliance.
This was really a big trouble now. The power of the Qingyun Alliance was known to everyone in the entire Bei Wangzhou.
The entire Tianmo Sect was in chaos, causing panic. The originally peaceful atmosphere completely dissipated, replaced by a heavy and solemn feeling of killing intent filling the room.
“Sect Leader, what are you going to do?”
Grand Elder Changsun Wuji asked with a frown.
“Sigh.”
Mu Yuqing sighed softly and said helplessly, “What else can I do? Our only hope now is to recall the personnel from the various branches. Perhaps this can turn the tide. But now all the branches have suffered heavy losses, even if they rush back, it won’t help. Sigh.”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
At this time, Third Elder Youming stepped forward and said with a sneer, “Sect Leader, I think that since this has already happened, we might as well let nature take its course.”
“Let nature take its course?”
Mu Yuqing raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Youming with a puzzled expression, and asked, “Third Elder, what do you mean?”
“In my opinion, since the matter is a foregone conclusion, let nature take its course.”
Youming said slowly, “We can’t win against the combined forces of the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Refining Hall anyway, so we might as well agree to their demands. At least we can preserve the million-year foundation of our Tianmo Sect.”
Hearing this, everyone in the Tianmo Sect was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
No one expected that the usually low-key Third Elder Youming would say such a thing.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that even if they agreed to the demands of the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Refining Hall, the Tianmo Sect would inevitably become a subordinate sect of the two, no longer having its former glory.
This was essentially no different from the sect’s destruction.
However, the Third Elder disregarded the million-year foundation of the Tianmo Sect. It was simply unbelievable.
“Youming, this is not like you. You didn’t used to say that, did you?”
Grand Elder Changsun Wuji, who was standing beside him, couldn’t help but sneer, “I remember that Third Elder Youming used to always say that no matter what happened, he would coexist and perish with the sect. Have you forgotten what you said?”
“Hehe, Brother Wuji, this is just a stopgap measure.” Youming said with a dry laugh.
“A stopgap measure?”
Grand Elder Changsun Wuji shook his head and sneered, “Haha, you are really righteous. Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?”
“Let them ridicule me. It’s better than our Tianmo Sect being destroyed!” Hearing this, Youming snorted coldly with a calm expression.

“You… you are shameless!”
At this moment, Changsun Wuji was so angry that his beard stood on end.
“Humph!”
Youming glanced at him contemptuously and sarcastically said without hesitation, “Changsun Wuji, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re just afraid that if the Tianmo Sect falls into the hands of the Hehuan Sect or the Blood Refining Hall, your power and position won’t be guaranteed, right?”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji laughed wildly, “Youming, you scoundrel, let me tell you, with me and the Sect Leader here, with those trash from the Hehuan Sect and the Blood Refining Hall, they want to control the Tianmo Sect? They’re delusional!”
After saying that, the aura on his body suddenly surged several times, like a peerless sword piercing the sky, shocking everyone and causing their faces to change repeatedly.
Immediately, Changsun Wuji cupped his fists towards Mu Yuqing and said, “Sect Leader, after I have eliminated the sect traitor, I will come to listen to your teachings.”
After his words fell, he turned into a stream of light and shot straight towards Youming.
He was the Grand Elder of the Tianmo Sect and also the Law Enforcement Elder. With a traitor like Youming appearing in the sect, he naturally couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. He had to personally kill Youming to calm his anger.
“Youming, you old scoundrel, take your life!”
Changsun Wuji shouted, raised his right arm, and waved it in the air. His palm carried a terrifying pressure as he slapped towards Youming.
“Changsun, you scoundrel, you’re not worthy of calling me an old scoundrel. I think you’re the shameless old thing.”
Youming took out a red pill from his bosom and sneered, “Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, what are you waiting for? Kill this old thing with me.”
After he finished speaking, his body flickered with spiritual light, his feet stomped on the ground, and he instantly flew into the air, fighting with Changsun Wuji.
In an instant, explosions erupted throughout the hall, spiritual light flickered, and roars continued. The two fought fiercely.
“Bang, bang, bang.”
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of moves.
Although Changsun Wuji’s cultivation was high, Youming was not weak either, especially after taking the red pill. He was actually able to fight on par with Changsun Wuji, who was the strongest, for a short period of time.
Seeing this, Seventh Elder Qiu Shan, Eighth Elder Changjian, and Ninth Elder Moyuan looked at each other, then joined the battle, emitting a strong killing intent as they rushed towards Changsun Wuji.
Facing the siege of Youming and the other three elders, Changsun Wuji was not afraid at all. A dazzling black light erupted from his body, instantly enveloping him, and a monstrous killing intent spread out.
However, there was some sadness in his heart. “Haha, I didn’t expect our Tianmo Sect to have such traitors!”
When he saw Youming swallow the pill from the Blood Refining Hall, he knew that Youming had betrayed the Tianmo Sect.
He didn’t expect that the Tianmo Sect, with its million-year foundation, would have so many traitors, and they were all high-ranking elders.
Boom—Bang—Bang—Bang—Bang—
The two sides fought, and in a short while, they had exchanged nearly a thousand moves.
Since Youming and the other three elders had already secretly colluded, at the moment of the battle, he secretly transmitted a message to the three, asking them to attack Changsun Wuji’s vital points.
Sure enough, when Changsun Wuji faced the siege, he immediately revealed a fatal weakness.
Youming immediately seized the opportunity and, while Changsun Wuji’s defense was slightly lax, he struck out with a fierce palm.
