Meeting Pei Yueling’s gaze, Gu Chaoyan displayed no hint of fear. She understood that Mi Xinghe had been trained by Pei Yueling, which was precisely why she had decided to plot against him.

That night, Gu Chaoyan had witnessed Mi Xinghe extracting the spiritual roots from Supreme Sect disciples and absorbing their Spiritual Qi. It was an unorthodox method of cultivation, devoid of any moral principles. The major sects would undoubtedly take notice of this, and they wouldn’t let it slide easily.

If Grand Unity Sect ever came under scrutiny, these sects could potentially become her allies, so she wasn’t about to miss this opportunity.

Pei Yueling cast a disdainful glance her way, believing that someone like Gu Chaoyan wasn’t even worth her attention. Gu Chaoyan seemed to be trying to draw Elder Men’s attention, inadvertently revealing Mi Xinghe’s actions. Truth be told, Mi Xinghe was impulsive and foolish, destined to cause trouble sooner or later.

In Pei Yueling’s perspective, Mi Xinghe had already irked her back on Wuyuan Island, and dealing with him today would save her future headaches.

Pei Yueling remained stoic, fully aware that keeping Mi Xinghe around would only invite more problems.

Gu Chaoyan was of no consequence to Pei Yueling.

Before long, Elder Lin caught up with Pei Yueling.

Mi Xinghe glared at Gu Chaoyan, wis.h.i.+ng for her downfall. He blamed her for exposing him today, just as he was on the verge of a breakthrough. Once he reached a certain level, he would undoubtedly hold an influential position. There would be no more need for him to afflict the Moon Sect.

After Mi Xinghe shot a glare at Gu Chaoyan, he turned his attention to Pei Yueling. He believed that Pei Yueling would not abandon him. After all, she had invested considerable time in cultivating him, and he had evolved into a top-notch Paragon Warrior. It didn’t make sense for her to discard him. He was deeply entrenched within the Moon Sect and had a significant role to play. Elder Men held him in high regard, and his presence contributed to Pei Yueling’s influence within the Moon Sect.

With this in mind, Mi Xinghe was confident that Pei Yueling would come to his aid in this predicament. As long as he emerged unscathed, he was more than willing to serve Pei Yueling.

As these thoughts raced through Mi Xinghe’s mind, he cast a sincere gaze toward Pei Yueling.

Pei Yueling’s brow furrowed slightly. How naive he was! Why had she chosen him in the first place? His plan had been exposed, yet here he was openly trying to enlist her help, as if fearing the other sects wouldn’t a.s.sociate Grand Unity Sect with their actions.

Grand Unity Sect had yet to be formally recognized by the imperial court, and even if they resorted to extracting spiritual roots for cultivation, they wouldn’t face significant consequences.

The more Pei Yueling pondered this, the more infuriated she became. However, she concealed her anger and instead approached Mi Xinghe.

Mi Xinghe let out a sigh of relief. With Pei Yueling a.s.sisting him, he believed he would be safe.

But just as he began to relax, Pei Yueling swiftly struck him on the head. Mi Xinghe couldn’t believe what was happening, and then, abruptly, he stopped breathing.

“Disciples who employ unorthodox cultivation methods have no place within any sect. What are you blabbering about? Dispose of them!” Pei Yueling declared with unwavering confidence..
