"However, before that, let Senior Brother kill a few more Ming Cult scoundrels!”When Cheng Kun saw the Ming Cult disciples pouncing on him, he gently placed Madam Yang's corpse to the side and channeled his inner strength to use the Art of the Origin, slapping them.
Seeing that Cheng Kun was still putting up a stubborn resistance, Ling Yihan laughed coldly and said,""Still not giving up…"
As he spoke, just as he was about to attack, Xie Xun, who was beside him, hurriedly said,"Cult Master, there's no need to trouble Cult Master to personally deal with such a stubborn fellow. Leave it to this subordinate!”
Before Ling Yihan could reply, he had already leaped over to exchange blows with Cheng Kun.
"Master, you can't beat us. Hurry up and hold me hostage. I'll help you leave Light Summit.”Xie Xun hinted as he pretended to exchange blows with Cheng Kun.
Cheng Kun was very smart. He immediately understood his intention. Taking advantage of the flaw that he deliberately revealed, he captured him and held him back.
As a result, the Ming Cult disciples present did not dare to act rashly.
" Cult Master, look at this…" Yang Xiao knew Xie Xun's intentions and asked Ling Yihan.
Ling Yihan glanced at Cheng Kun and Xie Xun indifferently. Without saying anything, he turned around and returned to the Sacred Flame Hall.
Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and the rest shook their heads helplessly when they saw Ling Yihan's cold reaction. They watched helplessly as Cheng Kun successfully escaped Light Summit with Xie Xun's help.
"Cult Master, Xie Xun knows his sins and is willing to be punished!”In the Sacred Flame Hall, Xie Xun knelt before Ling Yihan and gritted his teeth.
Ling Yihan laughed coldly. I wonder what crime Lion King Xie has committed? You have made me feel confused."
Xie Xun heard Ling Yihan's ear-piercing laughter and his face turned red. He said awkwardly,""This subordinate was clearly trying to capture Cheng Kun just now, but secretly helped him escape.”
Ling Yihan glanced at him and said,""Hehe, you know your limits! I know that you and Cheng Kun have a master-disciple relationship, and I also know that you, Golden Fur Lion King, have always valued relationships the most. You couldn't bear to watch your master Cheng Kun die in my hands, so you couldn't help but save him. However, do you know that by doing this, not only will you harm yourself, but you will also implicate your entire family…"
"What is it? Cult Master, as the saying goes, it's not the family that's in trouble. Xie Xun made a big mistake. If you want to kill him, you only need to punish me. Why do you have to let my family suffer?”When Xie Xun heard what Ling Yihan said, he mistakenly thought that Ling Yihan was going to attack his family and hurriedly said.
"That's right. Lion King Xie was only muddle-headed for a moment. You're a magnanimous person. Please forgive him and his family!”The White-Browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng hurriedly advised.
"Please have mercy, Sect Master!"
……
The Light Left and Right Emissaries Yang Xiao and Fan Yao, the Guardian King Yin Tianzheng and Wei Yixiao, as well as the Five Rogues, all knelt down before Ling Yihan and pleaded for Xie Xun.
"That's right, Cult Master, please spare Third Xie Ge!”Taitish, who was standing beside Ling Yihan, couldn't help but try to persuade him.
Ling Yihan swept his gaze across the Ming Cult members who were kneeling on the ground and sneered,""I didn't expect my brothers to be so united. It really makes me feel gratified! Hehe, did I say that I would punish Lion King Xie and his family? Why are you guys so excited?"
The moment he said that, all the disciples who were kneeling were stunned. They did not understand the meaning behind Ling Yihan's words and did not know what to say.
"Then what does Cult Master mean?" Taitish asked in confusion.
Ling Yihan sighed and said," What I mean is that I'm not the one who wants to kill Lion King Xie and his family. It's Cheng Kun who wants to kill them!"”
"What is it? How was this possible? Lion King Xie had risked his life to save him from Light Summit, so how could he repay kindness with ingratitude?”Taitish shook her head in disbelief.
Xie Xun also nodded and said," That's right, Cult Master. Although Cheng Kun has committed heinous crimes, he still has a master-disciple relationship with Xie Xun. He definitely won't harm me."”
Ling Yihan knew that he wouldn't believe his words, so he said,""Since none of you believe me, I have nothing to say. However, Lion King Xie, you've committed a grave mistake. You can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. I punish you to temporarily hand over all your authority and reflect on your mistakes in your own home for half a month. Do you have any objections?"
When Xie Xun heard that, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said happily,"Thank you for your kindness, Cult Master. Xie Xun is sincerely convinced!”
"Thank you, Cult Master!"
When the others saw Xie Xun's punishment being so light, they were all delighted and thanked Ling Yihan.
The next day, the Ming Cult's disciples held a funeral for the previous cult master, Yang Dingtian, at Light Summit. According to the cult's custom, the funeral of the disciples would be carried out by cremation. The person Yang Dingtian loved the most in his life was Madam Yang. Even though she had betrayed Yang Dingtian, Ling Yihan didn't hold it against the dead. He cremated her together with Yang Dingtian and buried both of their ashes together.
"Master, I didn't mean to force my wife to death. I just can't bear to see her leave Light Summit with that bastard Cheng Kun while you die with hatred. I just want to keep you here so that you can repent beside your grave. You won't blame me, right?" Ling Yihan stood in front of Yang Dingtian and his wife's grave and sighed.
Taitish walked to his side and comforted him,""Cult Master, you don't have to be so sad. I believe Cult Master Yang knows in the underworld and will definitely understand your painstaking efforts. Madam Yang's death can't be blamed on you, so don't blame yourself too much.”
When Ling Yihan heard this, he nodded and said,""Ah Qi, call me Cult Master in front of everyone. In private, you should call me by my previous name!”
Taitish said shyly,""What…what did you call me just now?"
When Ling Yihan heard this, he said casually,"I'll call you Ah Qi!" What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Ah Qi? Why do you call me that?" Taitish felt very sweet inside as she asked with a smile.
Ling Yihan gently hugged her slender waist and smiled.""It's mainly because your name is different from us Central Plainsmen. I don't know if your surname is Dai Qisi or Daiqi, so I'll just call you Aqi.”
Taitish was suddenly hugged by him and said shyly,""Taitish is my first name. My surname in Persia is Shavadi. Also, you know my true identity. We can't…"
Ling Yihan hugged her even tighter and smiled."What are you afraid of? Now that my martial arts are almost invincible and I'm the dignified Ming Cult Master, if those guys in Persia don't know their place and dare to harm you, I'll directly destroy the entire Persia Cult!”
After saying that, he gently kissed Taitish's charming red lips.
