Ye Zhaozhao knew very clearly.
Once those three questions on the Heart-Questioning Platform were answered, her actions could no longer be refuted.
If judged by the sect rules, her fate would definitely not be good; at the very least, she would be expelled from the sect.
But even at this point, she was unwilling to leave the Sword Sect.
Not for anything else, but for Li Shuang.
If she left Li Shuang, where would she get her cultivation, where would she plunder her luck?
Her journey to the Langya Secret Realm had made her realize firsthand that this world was not so simple.
A small action by the Demon King caused a sharp increase in the death rate of disciples from the six sects.
For mortals to ascend to immortality, there would inevitably be various difficulties and obstacles along the way.
By herself? Could she truly reach the end?
Ye Zhaozhao had no confidence at all!
And Li Shuang, in the future visions, she had indeed seen her ascend to the upper realm.
As long as she could seize everything from her, she would surely achieve perfection!
Ye Zhaozhao thought very clearly.
As the victim, if Li Shuang was willing to give her a chance, she would have a chance to stay.
Even if she could only lie low for a while, with the system, she would always find an opportunity.
Just like she had taken everything from the people of Lingxu Peak ten years ago, she would once again take everything from Li Shuang!
Calculating in her heart, Ye Zhaozhao looked at Li Shuang with an incredibly pitiful expression: "Senior Sister Li, please, give me another chance."
Li Shuang calmly glanced at Ye Zhaozhao.
This Ye Zhaozhao suddenly clung to Lingxu Zhenren and the others, on one hand, it was indeed her unwillingness, and on the other hand, she felt that she was "showing loyalty" to herself.
Li Shuang felt like laughing for a moment.
If it weren't for the Grand Forgetfulness Art and the Heaven and Earth Furnace, she would have already died on the snowy mountain.
Why did Ye Zhaozhao think she would choose to forgive her?
Even if Lingxu Zhenren and the others were not good people, what about Ye Zhaozhao? Was she innocent?
Li Shuang shifted her gaze and said to Meng Yifei: "Sect Master, right and wrong are clear. Ye Zhaozhao plotted harm first, then spread rumors. According to sect rules, whatever the punishment should be, let it be so. I will have no objections."
As for what should happen to the people of Lingxu Peak, Li Shuang was too lazy to interfere.
Let things be as they should be.
Her heart would no longer be stirred by these people, but that didn't mean she forgave the harm.
She just didn't want to be affected by those emotions anymore.
But cultivation, in the end, requires a clear mind.
At this moment.
With her grievances cleared, Li Shuang felt completely relaxed, her mind at peace, and the circulation of the Grand Forgetfulness Art became even smoother.
She would repay grievances and avenge hatred; she just wouldn't be affected by these emotions, which didn't mean she didn't want justice for herself.
Meng Yifei glanced at Pang Zhixue: "Hall Master Pang, you are most familiar with the sect rules. Under the combined punishment for multiple crimes, what should Ye Zhaozhao's sentence be?"
Pang Zhixue looked at Ye Zhaozhao.
Ye Zhaozhao's face instantly turned pale, and her hands clenched.
Her heart was filled with resentment.
Li Shuang always acted aloof and detached, as if nothing bothered her. If so, why couldn't she forgive herself just once?
If it weren't for the incident on the snowy mountain, how could she have comprehended the Grand Forgetfulness Art, and how could she have achieved her current glory!
Yet she still had to endlessly dwell on it!
Was this the demeanor of a Heavenly Dao protagonist?
Ye Zhaozhao was almost driven mad with anger, but on the surface, she still maintained a pitiful appearance.
Unfortunately.
Her appearance couldn't deceive anyone.
Pang Zhixue calmly said: "Harming a fellow sect disciple, and then showing no remorse and twisting right from wrong, such conduct is unworthy of a Sword Sect disciple. Her meridians should be severed, her cultivation abolished, and she should be expelled from the sect forever, never to return."
This punishment was undeniably severe.
Ye Zhaozhao trembled with a hint of panic.
Sheng Yuan and the others were momentarily stunned.
Expelled from the sect.
Severed meridians.
Abolished cultivation.
With these three punishments, Ye Zhaozhao would have no chance of immortality, and in this dog-eat-dog world, the life of a mortal was not easy.
Her future was destined to be a struggle for survival.
Ye Zhaozhao's scalp tingled with terror, and she screamed in her mind: "System! System! Come out quickly!"
The system's cold voice rang out: "What is it!"
Ye Zhaozhao's body trembled: "Did you hear? They want to abolish my cultivation and kick me out of the Sword Sect! Once I leave the Sword Sect, I'll never be able to contact Li Shuang again, and I'll never be able to get her cultivation and luck."
The system responded coldly: "Indeed."
Although severed meridians and abolished cultivation were not without recovery methods, each method required a huge price.
And Ye Zhaozhao was no longer worth such a great price.
The system's cold attitude made Ye Zhaozhao tremble all over. She shrieked in disbelief: "Indeed? That's it? Shouldn't you be thinking of a way for me? I don't want to leave the Sword Sect, I don't want my cultivation abolished! Don't you have incredible abilities, quickly think of a way!"
The system sneered and said unceremoniously: "Ye Zhaozhao, I have given you enough opportunities, but you are too useless. Even with my help, you still lost to Li Shuang. Don't worry, after you die, I will naturally look for the next host. The next host surely won't be more useless than you."
After discovering that Ye Zhaozhao was beyond saving, the system had already decided to find someone else.
Once Ye Zhaozhao was expelled from the sect, he could easily kill her with a little trick.
Li Shuang's luck, he was determined to have it.
Fortunately.
Ye Zhaozhao had no more chances, but he still had a chance; he could still choose the next person as a host.
He believed that no one could resist the temptation of getting something for nothing.
This time.
He would control everything from the beginning and would not give Li Shuang a chance to turn the tables again.
"System, what are you saying! You want to change hosts? System! System!" Ye Zhaozhao screamed frantically.
The system ignored her; it had already begun to slowly weaken the bond between them. Once Ye Zhaozhao died, it could naturally leave.
As the system prepared to detach.
Li Shuang's eyes moved slightly.
Just as the system fluctuated.
In her mind.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace suddenly revealed a piece of information.
"Abyssal Demonic Seed: Value points: ????"
Li Shuang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Abyssal Demonic Seed, what was that!
Even the most valuable items should have an upper limit, but this Abyssal Demonic Seed's value points were ???.
Why hadn't she sensed this thing before? And suddenly, she sensed it now!
Li Shuang subconsciously looked at Ye Zhaozhao.
Her expression was deranged, as if she had suffered some immense blow.
An intuition told Li Shuang.
This Abyssal Demonic Seed was probably related to Ye Zhaozhao.
Li Shuang's expression became incredibly cold.
She took out a sixth-grade treasure and quickly said: "Sixth-grade treasure, Flowing Feather, in exchange for information on the Abyssal Demonic Seed!"
