Chapter 264: Master, I Am Sorry
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After watching the video, Dan Chenz’s mouth twitched. I am literally being targeted without even doing anything.
Jiese put down his mobile phone and looked at Elder Hua Yu, who was stiff on the arena. He sighed softly. “Elder Hua Yu is finished.”
Such a person was not worthy of being a Taoist. In order to view the position being the Temple Head, she colluded with foreigners and backstabbed people from her own temple. Such people should be made an example of and be punished dearly.
After watching the video, the hearts of the Taoist people sank. They stood up in unity, but now they feel their knees were a little soft. Facing the strange gazes and hearing the voices of gossip of the audience around, they seemed to be the laughing stock.
None of us thought you were really such a person, Elder Hua Yu.
A sect head handed back the mobile phone to his disciple. His face was livid, and he shouted with exasperation, “Hua Yu, you really killed Hua Yang… In the past 20 years, have you ever felt guilty?”
“You are not worthy of being a Taoist.”
“Hua Yu, you’ve let us down.”
All the masters were shocked and furious. They doubted Li Xianyu and didn’t believe him before. After all, the image of Elder Hua Yu was so perfect, they couldn’t believe that she would do such an immoral thing.
The leader of the Shangqing Sect was so angry that he almost jumped. Now you want to lay your hands on Dan Chenzi? What the hell? Shangqing Sect only had one genius in so many centuries.
The Taoists were not only shocked by the truth, but they were also angry with Li Xianyu.
If you wanted to find justice for Elder Hua Yang, you would have just sought out the Taoist Faction in private. Your evidence was so solid, did you really think Taoist Faction would cover this kind of scandal up? Why did you expose the video and make it public at the Forum conference.
What would be left of the reputation of the Taoist Faction?
The Tao Reverend sighed deeply. “Hua Yang, your experience has been known by the Taoist Faction. On behalf of Taoism, this reverend will conduct justice for you. Hua Yu, you have harmed your fellow martial peers and are inexcusable. From this day on, you are no longer the leader of Liuyun temple. Please go back with me. I will summon the Taoist elders to discuss how to deal with you.”
Elder Hua Yu’s face was pale, and her cell phone was crushed by her hand, just like her heart.
It turned out that all of this was just a trap. There was no McCarthy family at all. All those stories about McCarthy family being some spy for the church was all a lie that forced her to confess what she had done back then.
If it wasn’t for this video, Elder Hua Yu would still have believed that all was well. There was nothing wrong with Victoria’s speech.
“Wait!” Li Xianyu’s heart skipped a beat and looks at the Taoist Reverend from afar. “May I dare to ask your honor, how does the Taoist Faction want to deal with Hua Yu?”
The Taoist priest frowned slightly. “The Taoist Faction has its own rules and regulations. We will follow the rules after discussion.”
Li Xianyu said, “According to the Taoist system, it is a capital crime to injure the people of the same sect. Since it’s a capital crime, why not execute Hua Yu on the spot? What else needs to be discussed?”
Taoist Reverend looks at Li Xianyu coldly. “The Taoist Faction does not need an outsider to tell us what to do.”
“I’m an outsider, but Elder Hua Yang is not an outsider.” Li Xianyu no longer looked at Taoist Reverend. Instead, his gaze swept the audience and said loudly, “Everyone, Elder Hua Yu had harmed her martial peers and is inexcusable. The worst part was that she had cheated the world and stole fame that was not originally hers. She deceived the world with her two-sided face, which was bright on the surface and dirty in the dark. Shouldn’t such a person be punished? She did not only harm the same family but also didn’t show any regret at all. Now she even wants to harm Dan Chenzi. How can such a vicious woman be dealt with behind the scenes? Who knows if she would be punished lightly.”
“If the Taoist Faction does not give a satisfying explanation today, this matter will not end!”
Now the same words came back and bit the Taoist Faction. What an irony.
The Taoist Reverend said angrily, “What else do you want to do?”
Li Xianyu was also angry. “What I want is very simple, an eye for an eye.”
“Bullshit!”
“You are the one being presumptuous.” Li Xianyu went out and directly talked back to the Taoist Revered. The audience was stunned. Li Xianyu really had balls. If ordinary people dared to talk like this, they would be immediately smashed by Taoist followers.
It was nice to have Great-Grandma by his side. Li Xianyu almost vomited blood from anger.
What Hua Yu committed was a capital crime. Since it was a capital crime, and all the evidence were already presented, what was there left to be discussed? What was left to be examined? This was something that could be decided directly.
Taoist Reverend unexpectedly said that she would be taken into custody, and wanted to call together the elders of Taoism to discuss. This obviously indicated that he wanted to protect Elder Hua Yu.
Don’t give me bullshit like a delayed death penalty, or life imprisonment, or even simply destroying her cultivation and letting her live as a commoner.
Hua Yu was an iron supporter of Taoist Reverend. She had a close relationship with the Taoist Reverend and a wide network of people… Li Xianyu’s worry was not unreasonable.
Moreover, after today, the heat of this event will fade. Even if Li Xianyu were to refuse to accept the decision made by the Taoist Faction, then he would still be supported by others. However, everyone would then be scattered all over the world and it would be of no use.
Taoist Reverend also understood this truth, so he proposed to take custody, instead of executing Hua Yu in front of thousands of audience and forces.
In reality, there were countless similar events. There were countless evil people whose cases were dragged out once and again. At last, no one cared about how to deal with them. Such cases then disappeared into the flow of time.
Hua Yang was betrayed and brutally killed by Hua Yu. Her spirit was then imprisoned in a place of extreme Yin for 25 years. She wanted to take revenge personally, and not let the Taoist Faction deal out the punishment on her behalf.
“There is no need to discuss anymore. If the Taoist Faction tries to delay, they are trying to cover up.” Li Xianyu said in a deep voice, “I know I am an outsider. Elder Hua Yang is a disciple of Liuyun temple. For her, the Taoist Faction is also an outsider. Today she appeared again and wants to clean the Liuyun Temple of traitors. Whoever obstructs her will be an enemy of me, the Unparalleled War spirit, and the justice of the world.”
After a pause, he glanced at the Taoist people. “And we will pursue this to the end of hell.”
Tss~ The Taoist Elders took a breath of cold air.
That statement was equivalent to a declaration of war. And if the Unparalleled War Spirit were to not speak, then it would be tantamount to her agreement to the words of the descendant of the Li family.
This kid really could not be underestimated. To be honest, no one took Li Xianyu seriously. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t be compared with Li Wuxiang. What others saw was the Unparalleled War Spirit behind him, not Li Xianyu himself.
At this moment, the Taoist Faction suddenly came to the realization that the flow of this matter had been dominated by this boy. Except for the third generation, every generation of the Li family had really been outstanding.
“What are we waiting for apart from an execution? Are we going to keep this kind of people for the new year?”
“It’s so hateful. She is even going to lay hands on our Dan Chenzi.”
“Isn’t the Taoist Faction ashamed? If this is not considered a cover-up, what is?”
The rowdy crowds of disapproval could be heard everywhere. It could be seen that justice was not on the side of Taoism. The audience was not fools. They had their ideas and opinions. Even though most of them hated Li Xianyu, it didn’t mean that they couldn’t tell right from wrong, or that they would turn black into white.
At first, it was just noisy and there were all kinds of shouting. Gradually, the voice twisted into one united voice and merged into the same words: “Execute her now!”
In the face of the surging voice of the masses, the Taoist people were silent, and many people secretly looked at Taoist Reverend.
“Isn’t it easier to just execute her on the spot? Does Taoist Reverend really want to cover this up?” Some disciples murmured.
“Don’t talk. We’ll do what the masters say.”
However, their master was silent, and remained that way….
The heart of Elder Hua Yu sank to the bottom of the valley. She looked at Hua Yang and her beautiful face was twisted with hatred and depression, and her curvaceous body was slightly shaking.
“Hua Yang, Hua Yang…”
“You’ve been dead for more than 20 years, and you still haunted me.”
“Master’s loving care and the position of the temple leader were both mine. I came first.”
“It’s your fault that you took what should have belonged to me.”
“Nonsense, it was Wang Chen’s mistake. It’s all Wang Chen’s fault.” Slime did not agree with her and whispered.
“Shut up!” Li Xianyu slapped it, his right hand slapping his left. What the hell did you mean you came first. Such a childish view.
As the past flashed, when Hua Yu was still in her infancy, she was carried back to the mountain and brought up by her master. For her, her master was both a teacher and a mother. She had a good talent and was trained as an heir since she was young. In order to live up to Master’s great expectations, she trained like crazy.
That was the story until the age of nine when Hua Yang entered the sect. After that, everything changed. She was no longer the only heir. Everything she had needed to be shared with Hua Yang, her room, her resources, and her most valued maternal love. When Hua Yang was 12 years old, she was able to project the image of the Mother of the Great Chariot through meditation. That was the saddest moment in Hua Yu’s life. Since that day, Hua Yang has completely replaced her as the only successor of Liuyun temple.
Gradually, only Hua Yang was left in Master’s eyes. Her importance faded away, and she lost her successor’s qualification. Hua Yu was no longer valued by her peers, and no longer enjoyed their admiration. Now, her only redeeming trait was her gentleness and kindness.
However, what Hua Yu cared about the most was not the position of the master, but the attention and concern of her master. In her eyes, what Hua Yang took away was her mother’s love. She hated Hua Yang so much that she would pray for her death. Without Hua Yang, everything should return to its original place. She would still be the successor of Liuyun temple. Master would still attach importance to her and care for her.
Indeed, after Hua Yang’s death, she became the successor of Liuyun temple, but her master didn’t love her as much as before.
The master and the apprentice seldom talked again.
The second year after Hua Yang’s death, Master died. Before she died, she looked at Hua Yu straight in the eye. They were still silent.
In Master’s eyes, Hua Yu saw disappointment, sadness, and self-reproach, but she did seem to bear any hate for her.
Huauyu sat in front of Master’s grave for one entire night. Suddenly, she realized that Master’s favorite was always her. Only a mother would be able to cover up for her daughter had committed the most heinous crimes.
“Execution on the spot!”
“Execute her now!”
The tsunami of jeers echoed, and everyone seemed to want her to die. Elder Hua Yu smiled. “Hua Yang, if I could do it again, I will still kill you. I will kill you without hesitation. I don’t regret what I’ve done, and you can’t expect me to cry and kneel and beg for your forgiveness!”
“Today I have reached the end of the line, but you want to avenge yourself? You must be dreaming. I’ll give this life back to you myself.” Elder Hua Yu smashed her head in the center of her brow. Her skull was smashed and her soul dissipated into thin air.
Master, I’m sorry.
