“No? Where did he go?” Qiao Ling’s bees searched around but couldn’t find the Divine Turtle, making her anxious. Could it be that someone had already hidden it?
It was very possible. A Divine Beast appearing in the sect was definitely a treasure and hiding it was normal…
If that was the case, it would be troublesome.
The bees flew faster and suddenly one of them reported that a Giant Turtle had crawled out of the Elephant Water. Qiao Ling saw the relief on the turtle’s face and knew that they had found it.
Su He climbed out of the Elephant Water, shook off the water on his body, and returned to the Leaving South Court.
This place was deserted, with a primitive style.
Qingyuan Mountain was very large, with endless peaks. Although it was divided into seven meridians, there were at least hundreds of peaks between them. The seven meridians only occupied the seven most spiritually rich places.
Although Qingyuan Sect had at least 200,000 people, including servants, they were scattered in such a large area and the population was still sparse. As far as the eye could see, there were only primitive mountains and rivers.
Su He climbed ashore and saw a woman standing quietly on a nearby hill, her gaze fixed on him.
Su He felt a faint threat and stopped.
He stopped, but the woman walked towards him. As she got closer, Su He’s alarm bells rang loudly and he suddenly stood up on his hind legs.
A blur flashed by and the woman attacked without a word.
Su He used his strength to rise up and the short sword he used was bent when it hit the turtle shell. Su He took the opportunity to smash the turtle shell, causing the Giant Turtle to fall heavily. Qiao Ling missed her attack and retreated immediately, barely dodging it. She rolled on the ground and threw away the bent sword in her hand.
It was indeed a Divine Turtle, and its turtle shell was indeed tough. Unfortunately, she couldn’t use her own Fairy Sword to attack and had to use a low-quality sword.
She had to aim for the neck.
She took out another sword and jumped up, aiming straight for Su He’s neck. Su He couldn’t dodge in time and couldn’t even hide in his shell.
In a moment of desperation, Su He roared and spat out a water ball the size of a water tank, which hit Qiao Ling head-on. Qiao Ling’s delicate body was instantly thrown two meters away by the huge amount of water.
Su He remained vigilant and watched her closely.
A second face?
At this moment, Su He looked at Qiao Ling and saw that her face seemed to be overlaid with two faces.
It was the Divine Turtle’s ability to break illusions. Su He’s Turtle Eye could see through illusions and the water ball he spit out also had the effect of breaking illusions. With the dual effect, Qiao Ling’s disguise couldn’t be maintained.
And she had Divine Ability!
Qiao Ling’s eyes narrowed, she tightened her grip on the short sword, and, having broken the illusion, she had to act quickly.
Qiao Ling was very focused. She didn’t feel that the turtle was very powerful, only about as strong as a cultivator in the True Blood realm, but its combat power was not low. And it attacked unexpectedly.
Was this a wild beast?
She raised her sword and rushed forward, suddenly stopping a yard away from Su He. It was at this moment that a sword light flew past in the distance.
Someone was coming!
She would be discovered attacking the sect’s Divine Beast!
“Ang!” Su He roared.
The woman in front of him immediately put away her sword, took out a fang from somewhere, and stabbed herself in the neck. Blood spurted out and splashed Su He’s face.
Qiao Ling turned around and ran, as if being chased by a Giant Turtle behind her. With her messy hair, soaked body, and blood-stained clothes, she covered her neck and screamed, shooting a sword light into the sky. “Save me!”
She fell to the ground, her blood staining the ground red.
Su He was stunned, feeling a bad premonition. Was this woman about to put on a show?As soon as the sound was heard, the sword light in the sky quickly returned and rushed towards them. Someone on the sword shouted, “Don’t hurt anyone!”
It was Ge Feng. He had carelessly lost the Divine Turtle and had been searching for it in the sky. He vaguely heard shouting and saw Su He in a rage. It seemed that a junior sister had already been bitten through the neck.
Qiao Ling fell to the ground, pointing at Su He with bloody fingers, seeming to want to say something but only murmuring.
There was a hint of regret and a hint of luck in her eyes.
The newcomer did not see the specific situation, luckily!
Su He squinted his eyes. This woman seemed to be looking for death!
Ge Feng’s face changed dramatically when he landed. What happened? This Divine Turtle was very docile during class. Why did it suddenly leave and then kill someone when found?
Did it leave suddenly to hunt down Qingyuan disciples?
Ge Feng quickly took out an elixir and ground it into powder to apply to Qiao Ling’s neck wound. He also took out a flying sword to report the situation to the sect.
One side was the Divine Turtle, the other side was a Qingyuan disciple. This was not something he could handle.
Soon, a fairy sword hurriedly flew over and smashed into the ground, turning into a middle-aged Taoist nun in a panic.
“Shuijing Senior Uncle!” Ge Feng saluted.
This was a senior uncle of the same generation as their master. Although she only managed a small medicine mountain in the sect, her seniority was higher, so he could not be disrespectful.
Shuijing seemed to ignore him and stared straight at Qiao Ling, full of disbelief.
“How could this be? How could this be?! Weren’t you sleeping in the room? Why were you injured by a turtle here?” She was hysterical, turning to Su He and shouting, “You evil creature! Die!”
Suddenly, a sword was thrust out.
Ge Feng’s face changed drastically, and his body instantly transformed into a fierce wild boar with sharp teeth, biting on her fairy sword.
After blocking the sword energy, he returned to human form, spitting out a mouthful of blood and blocking Shuijing. “Senior Uncle, This Turtle is extraordinary and cannot be dealt with privately. I have already notified our master and the Enforcement Hall. Regardless of the punishment, it must go through the Enforcement Hall, even the Sect Leader.”
Shuijing was furious. “A turtle needs to go through the Enforcement Hall? Whose turtle is this? Who has such power…” She saw the word “Su” on Turtle Mountain and laughed out loud.
She laughed so hard that tears flowed out, and her body trembled.
So it was that person’s turtle. It must go through the Enforcement Hall. I want to see how they will judge this!
…
The Enforcement Hall was crowded with people, and Ge Feng’s flying sword had already arrived.
The First Seat of the Enforcement Hall, Yu Housheng, had a solemn expression and sat quietly in the main hall with his eyebrows furrowed.
Shufeng and Zhaolie stood below, looking strange. They had dealt with cases of exotic beasts injuring people before, but those were all exotic beasts. As long as they were not intentionally released to harm people, whoever owned the beast had to compensate.
How to interrogate a Divine Beast? Did they have to make it speak?
Soon, several elders arrived together, including the First Seat of the Beast-taming Valley, the Hall Master of Jing’an Hall, the Sword Slave of Sword Residence…
All of them were people of high status.
They had originally gone to Leaving South Court to see the Divine Beast out of curiosity. When they heard that the Divine Beast had injured someone and was going to the Enforcement Hall, they decided to come and see what was going on.
A legal boat carrying Su He arrived at the Enforcement Hall, and the rope was untied as Water Jing and a few others disembarked.
After Ge Feng’s flying sword report, the Enforcement Hall specially sent someone to pick them up. With Water Jing and Ge Feng’s abilities, they could not afford such a legal boat.
Water Jing landed and looked at the First Seat and the Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall. She couldn’t help but tremble in her heart.
She and these people were of the same generation, but since she entered the sect, others had been the proud sons and daughters of heaven, while she was just one of the many inconspicuous disciples.
After hundreds of years of being fellow disciples, it was uncertain whether these senior brothers and sisters recognized her.
Were these people here to pressure her? After all, the turtle belonged to that person!She smiled bitterly, having lost hope for today’s trial. However, she straightened her back and fought on, even if she couldn’t win, she wanted to seek justice for her disciple!
Even if she died, she would leave blood on their faces! It’s just a fish dying and the net breaking.
Why should she cherish her life?!
Her proud and unyielding attitude made the Hall Masters present brighten their eyes. They looked at each other and saw surprise and delight in each other’s eyes.
This was the older generation of disciples in Qingyuan Sect. Even if their talents were average and their cultivation level limited, they had infinite pride!
The First Seat of the Enforcement Hall stroked his beard, looked at Su He, and asked solemnly, “Young turtle, can you understand human language?”
Su He was silent for a moment and nodded.
The eyes of the people in the hall brightened. As expected, it was the Divine Turtle, truly extraordinary! The spiritual intelligence of ordinary exotic beasts was at most that of a seven or eight-year-old child, but they did not possess this kind of spirituality.
However, the First Seat of the Enforcement Hall opened his eyes wide and said coldly, “Since you have spiritual intelligence and understand human language, why did you hurt my Qingyuan Sect disciple for no reason?!”
Su He raised his head and said, “Ang!”
After thinking for a moment, he called out again, “Ang~”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not understanding the reason. The First Seat of Beast-taming Valley, Xia Dalí, coughed with a strange expression on his face, “He said, he accuses this female disciple of attacking him for no reason! When the assassination failed, she turned around and bit him.”
