Li Fadu woke up from unconsciousness.
He lay beside the overturned main peak, surrounded by still-unconscious disciples of the Hall of Enforcement.
Just now, he had heard the command of the Jiuyan old Ancestor and lay there stupefied.
Upon waking, he had gone from the lofty elder in charge of the Hall of Enforcement to an ordinary disciple of the Jiuyan Sect.
Overcorrected?
He had lived a life of integrity, upholding righteousness, and had never overcorrected.
“It must be because of Jiang Chen!”
Li Fadu clenched his teeth with a deep hatred emerging in his heart.
He had heard that the Old Ancestor had a close relationship with the Jiang family’s head, but he never expected that the Old Ancestor, who always followed the righteous path, would also act so protectively and defensively!
If he had known, he would have directly slain Jiang Chen!Even if he were to be punished for it, it would have been worth it to remove a cancer from the sect! Not a loss at all!
Suddenly, Li Fadu remembered Ma Wu.
The two shared the same ideals, and Ma Wu had often expressed that to uphold justice, one must be prepared to tarnish one’s own feathers.
Li Fadu did not agree with this.
After all, in his view, how can the enforcers correct others if they themselves are not upright?
But at this moment, he understood Ma Wu’s good intentions!
He realized that this was a different level of ‘justice’!
“It’s never too late.”
Li Fadu squinted his eyes while muttering to himself: “Xiao Hongyi would rather go mad than not protect ghim and Old Ancestor similarly showed favoritism. Only a thunderous strike can purify the sect and uphold the righteous path!”
Being unable to control the Hall of Enforcement anymore is actually a good thing.
From now on, he will no longer be restrained and can use any means necessary to deal with Jiang Chen!
If necessary, he would strike him down with the force of thunder!
He was not afraid, even if the consequence was death and the destruction of his path!
Having regained his conviction, Li Fadu prepared to get up, but then his brow furrowed.
The injuries he had sustained this time were extremely severe.
When Xiao Hongyi used the red whip to break the Sect Master’s hall, he bore the brunt of it, facing the phoenix fire head-on.
At this moment, not only were his limbs and meridians broken, but his Core Formation also had several cracks due to the influence of the phoenix fire.
His strength as a peak Heavenly Origin realm swordsman could hardly be utilized to even a tenth of its capacity in the short term!
Fortunately, he was within the sect, which was relatively safe.
As long as he waited for the other disciples of the Hall of Enforcement to wake up, they could move him to a quiet place where he could heal himself. If he took high-level medicinal pills, he could recover within a month.
With nothing else to do, Li Fadu’s thoughts turned to Ma Wu.
He and Ma Wu had always had a good relationship.
They occasionally drank together, shared their ambitions, and swore never to coexist with evil in this life.
But right now, Ma Wu had died at the hands of Jiang Chen, and even his ashes had been stolen a few days ago, ending in utter tragedy.
This made Li Fadu’s heart ache, and his loathing for Jiang Chen intensified.
“Elder Ma, I will inherit your will and help the Jiuyan Sect eradicate the cancer that is Jiang Chen!” Li Fadu whispered fiercely.
Suddenly, he noticed some movement beside him and immediately turned to look.
A few zhang away from him, a disciple dressed in Jiuyan Sect attire was lying with his back to him, seemingly slowly regaining consciousness.
“You, come over and help me,” Li Fadu called out urgently.
Hearing this, the disciple indeed sat up and turned around.
This person’s features were somewhat familiar, and with a bit of recollection, Li Fadu called out his name: “Lu Lin? Why are you, a Ninth Peak person, passed out here?”
This was a question Lu Lin also wanted to ask.
He had repeatedly recalled and certain he hadn’t misheard that people from the Ninth Peak should have come to save him.
But from the current situation, it seemed like he had been forgotten…
“Enough talk, take me to Sword Peak first. I need to heal as soon as possible,” Li Fadu said again.
“Alright,” Lu Lin nodded.
But after trying for a while, he found that he couldn’t muster any strength due to repeated attacks.
Helplessly, Lu Lin said, “Elder, please wait a bit longer. Since we woke up here, someone must have moved us down from the main peak, and that person should come back to check on us.”
Li Fadu glanced at the overturned main peak and nodded, thinking it made sense.
Without someone’s help, he would have been thrown to the ground with the peak, putting his life in danger.
And to rescue so many disciples of the Hall of Enforcement at once, the rescuer must be like him, a person with ‘justice’ in their heart.
Such a person would not abandon them here.
With this thought, Li Fadu was no longer anxious and quietly waited.
……
After a while…
“Elder Li, someone’s coming! And there’s a beast with them!” Lu Lin called out excitedly.
Li Fadu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to ask Lu Lin to seek help, he heard the latter say, “It’s the true disciple of Ninth Peak! Indeed, Ninth Peak hasn’t forgotten me. They’ve come to save me!”
Li Fadu’s heart skipped a beat.
A true disciple of Ninth Peak? And with a beast?
Could it be… He gritted his teeth and turned his head to look in the direction Lu Lin was pointing.
At this glance, he panicked.
Indeed, it was Qingning, along with that big White Tiger!
He clearly remembered that last time in the Hengduan Mountain Range, Qingning had threatened to bury him alive!
Normally, Li Fadu would not be afraid.
But now, not only was he powerless to resist, but due to the main peak being overturned, there was no one else around except Lu Lin to stop them!
In such a situation, he feared he would be done for if Qingning really went crazy!
“Lu Lin, take me and run…” Li Fadu called out urgently.
“Senior Sister Qingning! Elder Li from the Hall of Enforcement and I are here!”
Before he could finish, Lu Lin had already started shouting excitedly.
Li Fadu was at a loss for words.
And upon hearing this, Qingning and Xiaobai indeed quickly approached.
A woman and a White Tiger looked at the dark-faced Li Fadu with satisfied smiles.
“Qingning, I did well, right? I saved all these people from the Hall of Enforcement,” Xiaobai boasted.
“Xiaobai is really amazing, but this time we only need to bury this Li Fadu,” Qingning praised.
“Why?”
“Because Eldest Senior Brother is now in charge of the Hall of Enforcement, and he needs people under him.”
“I see, you’ve thought this through.”
“We shouldn’t delay. Let’s take Li Fadu away quickly. I saw Jiang Lianyue and Lin Mubai, those two lunatics, also looking for him.”
“What? Those two lunatics got out too? Then let’s hurry.”
The following conversation was lost to Li Fadu. Because as the last sentence fell, he was knocked unconscious by a spiritual shovel.
Before passing out, he seemed to hear the sound of Lu Lin being terrified.
And when he woke up again, Li Fadu found himself in a clearing overgrown with weeds and surrounded by dead trees and broken branches, lying in a freshly dug deep pit.
Next to him was another deep pit, which had been Ma Wu’s grave.
Li Fadu could never have imagined. He had just inherited Ma Wu’s will, and now he was about to join Ma Wu…
At this moment, he was buried halfway by Zijun Blood Soil and couldn’t move.
His Core Formation was completely shattered, presumably because Qingning feared he would resist, so she destroyed his Core Formation.
Under normal circumstances, Qingning would not have been able to destroy his Core Formation, but unfortunately, he was already severely injured, and his Core Formation was cracked.
“Kind niece Qingning… Ahh!!”
Li Fadu tried to communicate, but before he could finish, he was knocked unconscious again by Qingning’s shovel.
“Qingning, your technique is getting more and more refined,” Xiaobai complimented.
“Xiaobai, you’re not bad either. You’re no longer easily startled,” Qingning also praised.
With that, the woman and the tiger exchanged smiles.
