Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1257 - 84: Bearing the Guilt

"Quick, save the Young Clan Chief." The Pengyu Clan warriors were startled when they saw the Young Clan Chief suddenly plummeting from the sky, and they hurriedly gathered around to rescue the Silver Roc Young Clan Leader.

When they looked behind the Young Clan Chief, they saw an arrow stuck in his back.

"Who dares to plot against the Young Clan Chief!" The Pengyu Clan warriors fumed with rage.

"Fools, I am clearly the savior of your Young Clan Chief; if that arrow hadn’t been quick, your Young Clan Chief would have been controlled by the Sky Fox Tribe’s Corpse Puppetry, unable to recognize even his ancestors," a disdainful female voice came from behind.

Two beautiful women, each with their unique charm, and an unfamiliar middle-aged man strolled over.

The two women were, of course, Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang, and as for the middle-aged man, he was the boss of the Pengyu Three Demons, whose life Yun Sheng had saved.

Yun Sheng was worried that if Boss Peng Yu encountered the Pengyu people, there would be more conflict, so she let him disguise himself for now as this wasn’t the right time to reveal Boss Peng Yu’s identity.

Without the grotesque three-head look, and dressed deliberately like a hunter, Boss Peng Yu looked entirely different.

Not to mention the people of Pengyu, even Qin Yue couldn’t recognize Boss Peng Yu at a glance.

"It’s you!" Yu Shang was filled with resentment, she had almost managed to control the Young Clan Chief of Pengyu Clan when Yun Sheng’s arrow thwarted her Corpse Puppetry at the last minute.

Upon seeing Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang’s superior beauty, Rita showed displeasure. What was going on? Why were all these women from the Sky Fox Tribe coming to the Bahuang Mountain Range?

Could it be that the Sky Fox Tribe also got the news about the Inheritance Pillar Forest here? Impossible, they had already sealed off the information.

"How outrageous, you actually dared to injure people with a hidden arrow, arrest her!" Silver Roc, embarrassed, vented his anger on Yun Sheng and the others.

"Young Clan Chief, look clearly, I used an arrow to save you. If I really intended to harm you, why would I remove the arrowhead?" Yun Sheng calmly replied.

As she finished speaking, the Silver Roc Young Clan Leader immediately ordered someone to extract the arrow from his back, and indeed, the arrowhead had been removed just as Yun Sheng said.

This woman, with just an arrow shaft, managed to hit the Young Clan Chief, and the shaft pierced two inches deep into the flesh.

The Pengyu Clan warriors were left exchanging glances at each other in confusion.

Silver Roc wasn’t heavily injured, but his face lost more color, realizing he had been scared half to death by an arrow without a head. If the news got out, it would be utterly embarrassing for him.

"Hmph, useless men who go weak-kneed at the sight of a woman. If the Pengyu Clan Patriarch saw your behavior, he’d be spitting blood by now," Rita mocked, slightly altering her view of Yun Sheng due to her words.

Although the arrow broke the Corpse Puppetry, it indirectly helped Rita vent her frustration.

"Are you... Hu Sheng?" Rita looked at Yun Sheng again, surprised when she saw her face.

Hu Sheng was supposed to have disappeared long ago, and Hu Sheng was known to be weak, surely she wasn’t Hu Sheng.

Rita, Hu Linglong, Hei Linlin, and Hu Sheng were among the few women among the Eight Desolate Beast descendants, so they were familiar with each other.

"She’s not Hu Sheng; she’s an impostor. This woman colluded with the Pengyu Three Demons, killed the Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintess, and harbors malicious intent; she’s a wanted criminal in our Sky Fox Tribe. I was just looking for her, and here she foolishly comes right to us," Hu Linglong, seeing Yun Sheng, angrily accused without any distinction, surrounding Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang with the Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintess.

"Pengyu Three Demons? Where are those three monsters?" Silver Roc and the Pengyu warriors were alarmed and wary since the Pengyu Three Demons were also notorious criminals in the Pengyu Clan.

"Hu Linglong, show evidence when you speak. Which eye of yours saw us colluding with the Pengyu Three Demons? And where are they? We only happened across this hunter, who has hunted in the Bahuang Mountain Range for years, and he said there’s a strange seal here, so we came. Or are you saying this hunter is one of the Pengyu Three Demons?" Yun Sheng kept her composure; she had long anticipated that trouble would arise after Qin Yue escaped.

However, she hadn’t expected this woman to confuse right with wrong, pushing all blame onto them.

Everyone looked at them again, and besides the hunter-like middle-aged man, there was only Lu Yunshuang left.

How could the middle-aged man possibly be one of the Pengyu Three Demons?

The beast clans on the Bahuang Continent would naturally never expect that with miraculous modern medical skills and Life Water, Yun Sheng could completely alter Boss Peng Yu’s appearance in such a short time.

"Qin Yue killed Hua Yanluo and Feng Lian, violating the Sky Fox Tribe’s taboo by devouring their hearts. If anyone is a serious offender, it is her!" Lu Yunshuang, who had been silent, gave Qin Yue a cold, piercing look.

The talk of devouring two hearts visibly changed the expressions of the Sky Fox Tribe people.

Heart-eating, forcibly absorbing another’s cultivation and inheritance, is a major taboo in the Sky Fox Tribe.

In terms of crime, devouring hearts is much more severe than murder.

"Lord Linglong, Miss Yushang, you must believe me; I did no such thing. Clearly, it was Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang who killed Hua Yanluo and Feng Lian. I escaped, and they’re framing me to absolve themselves," Qin Yue insisted, pale and trembling, feigning a pitiful appearance.

Yu Shang and Hu Linglong hesitated; if it had been only Yun Sheng accusing, they might have doubted it, but the words came from Lu Yunshuang.

Lu Yunshuang, born of pure Ice Fox lineage, held a noble status within the Sky Fox Tribe. Her character was known to be cold and straightforward, never getting involved in gossip, nor would she falsely accuse without evidence.

"Enough, baseless words. Right now, we lack evidence of death, and we can’t find the Pengyu Three Demons. The three of you bear your crimes. We will decide further once we return to the Sky Fox Tribe," Yu Shang and Hu Linglong discussed and decided not to pursue any side about responsibilities for the time being.

The two women had made their considerations.

The Ancient Sealing was before their eyes, with many people from the Bimong and Pengyu Clans; they knew better than to waste their focus on who the true culprit was, choosing instead to resolve it upon return.

Not knowing what lay inside the Ancient Sealing, danger was a probable expectation.

Once inside, they may never have a chance to come out again, as were the case of the Pengyu Three Demons who entered before.

"Qin Yue, don’t celebrate too soon, once we leave the Bahuang Mountain Range, I won’t spare you," Lu Yunshuang coldly retorted.

"Hu Linglong, do you mean the Sky Fox Tribe also seeks to enter the Ancient Sealing?" Silver Roc and Rita asked simultaneously.
