<h4>Chapter 1458: Chapter 1457: Are You Scheming Against Me?</h4>


    When these people were hiding here, it was the Second Elder who personally set up the restriction and had several experts from the Medicine Sect guarding it.


    Even when the people from Soaring Cloud Pavilion’s Heavenly de Peak and Horizon’s End passed by, they didn’t notice anything. The Second Elder truly couldn’t figure out how the Principal had discovered this ce.


    However, with this situation now exposed to everyone, they basically could more or less guess what was going on.


    Not to mention anything else, the fact that the ck Widow’s personal maidservant, Zi Nu, was captured and imprisoned here by the Medicine Sect’s people already exined the situation.


    "Second Elder, care to exin? What’s going on?" Su Yang said slowly.


    The Second Elder’s expression turned as cold as ice. Zi Nu, as the ck Widow’s personal maidservant, could also be considered someone on Su Zhan’s side. By capturing and imprisoning Zi Nu here, and now being caught in the act, this truly seemed like burning bridges, a tant act of extreme disrespect to Su Zhan.


    Although in recent years, the Medicine Sect truly hadn’t shown much regard for Su Zhan, it was undeniable that the Medicine Sect had once been saved by Su Zhan. On the surface, the people of the Medicine Sect still acted as if they were very grateful to Su Zhan.


    Now that this matter was exposed, the Medicine Sect really had no exnation left to make. Moreover, this kind of incident would have a huge impact on the Medicine Sect; in the future, it was doubtful anyone would dare to help them again!


    The surrounding crowd began whispering among themselves, making the Second Elder’s expression even more grim. He couldn’tprehend how the Principal had discovered his secrets. This was originally his contingency n, a trap he had set for Su Yang, but it ended up backfiring catastrophically!


    Taking a deep breath, the Second Elder gritted his teeth and said, "What’s going on? These two women had the audacity to try and steal the Medicine Sect’s form—"


    Before he could finish speaking, a sharp voice suddenly echoed from the sky: "You old dog! Still trying to deceive everyone? You sent someone to my ce saying you wanted to offer my newly epted disciple some fortuitous opportunities and give her some elixirs. That’s the only reason I allowed her to go with you. And yet, you turned around and bullied her! Do you take Jade Maiden Peak as a pushover?"


    Amidst the enraged voice, six or seven elderly women descended from the sky. Their faces were cold, filled with outrage as they red at the Second Elder of the Medicine Sect. These were the experts from Jade Maiden Peak.


    Though the Second Elder was domineering, he didn’t dare provoke the people of Jade Maiden Peak. After all, Jade Maiden Peak wasprised entirely of women, who historically had no disputes with other sects. Moreover, these women were notoriously difficult to deal with, even to the extent that the Medicine Sect was unwilling to cross them.


    "Elder Ling, you’ve misunderstood..." The Second Elder hurriedly exined, "I wasn’t referring to her specifically..."


    "Not her? Then why are you holding her captive?" Elder Ling’s face red with anger. With a wave of her hand, Hu Xiexie was brought out directly.


    As for the members of the Medicine Sect nearby, they had already been subdued when the Principal made his move. They werepletely powerless now.


    "This..." The Second Elder looked utterly embarrassed, powerless to respond.


    At this moment, Su Yang coldly said, "Second Elder, do you truly not know why Zi Nu sought you out?"


    "She... she came to steal the Medicine Sect’s elixir form—" The Second Elder stubbornly clung to his story.


    "Zi Nu carried a recording device with her. Second Elder, are you sure you want to stick with your story?" Su Yang responded coldly.


    "What?" The Second Elder was stunned. It was only now that he realized everything had been set up by Su Yang all along.


    "You... you’ve schemed against me!" The Second Elder gritted his teeth and roared. His outburst made it clear to everyone present that he had been lying all along.


    "You’re the one who crossed the line!" Su Yang snapped coldly. "You didn’t investigate the circumstances regarding your disciples and wanted to kill me for revenge without even giving me a chance to exin. The ck Widow sent Zi Nu to plead on my behalf, hoping you’d give me an opportunity to clear my name, yet you became enraged and imprisoned her instead. Did I force you to make these choices?"


    "You..." The Second Elder was livid, but he found himself unable to refute Su Yang’s words. Everything Su Yang said was true—this was all his own doing.


    At this moment, the Second Elder felt genuine regret. He had always been used to throwing his weight around and fiercely protective of his own disciples. Whatever his disciples said, he believed fully. To him, Su Yang was just an insignificant figure he could crush easily.


    But he hadn’t anticipated running into such a formidable opponent this time. The Medicine Sect’s reputation was utterly ruined because of this incident!


    Taking several deep breaths to suppress his fury, the Second Elder fixed Su Yang with an icy re. "Fine, you’ve got guts! We’re leaving!"


    As the Second Elder prepared to lead the Medicine Sect members away, Su Yang took a step forward, his voice cold. "Leaving? Second Elder, are you trying to run away?"


    "This matter ends here. Wang Ding deceived the sect, and we will deal with him ording to sect rules!" the Second Elder replied icily.


    "Is that all?" Su Yang countered coldly. "I’ve lost so many brothers on my side. Is killing one Wang Ding enough?"


    The Second Elder’s brows furrowed deeply. "What do you mean? If one Wang Ding isn’t enough, are you saying you want the Medicine Sect to lose more people?"


    "I’m not looking for the Medicine Sect to lose more people, but I need an exnation!" Su Yang replied coldly. "Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving today!"


    "You?" The Second Elder sneered.


    "That’s right, me!" Su Yang dered loudly. "Brothers, block them! Today, we won’t let them leave!"


    The people around Su Yang immediately scattered, surrounding the Medicine Sect group in the middle.


    The Second Elder frowned deeply. He truly didn’t take Su Yang’s people seriously. The real issue was that the Terrestrial Immortals of the sects couldn’t make a move due to the presence of the Law Enforcers. The remaining members of the Medicine Sect, those below the Terrestrial Immortal level, were clearly no match for Su Yang’s side.


    "Su, don’t push your luck!" The Second Elder growled. "Do you intend to challenge the Ten Great Sects?"


    "I’m not challenging the Ten Great Sects. I’m addressing my grievances with the Medicine Sect!" Su Yang stated coldly. "This matter has nothing to do with the Ten Great Sects—it’s strictly between me and the Medicine Sect!"


    The Second Elder gritted his teeth. "The Ten Great Sects are united as one. Matters concerning us concern all Ten Great Sects. If you wish to challenge us, it’s tantamount to challenging the Ten Great Sects. You’d better think this through!"


    As he spoke, the Second Elder looked up at the onlookers in the sky.


    The witnesses avoided his gaze, looking ufortable. They knew the Second Elder was trying to pressure them.


    Truthfully, these onlookers didn’t want to get involved. However, the problem was that the Medicine Sect controlled three critical elixir resources, and none of them dared to offend the sect.


    Finally, Ki Yongchuan spoke up, his voice loud and clear: "I agree with the Second Elder. This is an internal affair of the Medicine Sect. The Second Elder should take them back and thoroughly investigate. There’s no need to provide exnations to a mere mortal like you!"
