Chapter 129: Who Cares? He Is the Deputy Pavilion Lord of My Pill Pavilion

Just as Yi Qianmo was feeling pleased, he suddenly heard a voice that whispered in his ear, "You little brat, are you looking for trouble?"

This made him shiver, while everyone else was puzzled, thinking that Yi Qianmo was about to reveal his true form and trembled in fear before Zhou Yumei.

Yi Qianmo looked very embarrassed and immediately focused his spiritual energy into his hands.

Zhou Yumei closed her eyes, allowing Yi Qianmo’s spiritual energy to enter her body. With her skill, if Yi Qianmo intended to cause trouble, he could be defeated in an instant.

However, when the spiritual energy entered her body, Zhou Yumei shivered slightly because she had never felt such pure spiritual energy, almost flawless, let alone any demonic energy.

Everyone stared at Zhou Yumei, waiting for the result. When she trembled slightly, the people present thought she had detected something evil, otherwise, how could the esteemed Hall Master of the Punishment Hall show such a reaction?

"That kid is doomed!"

"Stalling for time is just buying a little longer to live!"

Wang Qiang and Yu Mou sneered.

"It seems the Hall Master is enjoying this," Yi Qianmo whispered.

"Hmm!"

Zhou Yumei finally reacted, opened her eyes, glared at him fiercely, and shook off his hand. "Get lost!"

She turned to Mansion Master, gave a respectful bow, and said, "Mansion Master, I have already checked."

"What did you find?"

Mansion Master asked calmly.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yumei, especially Yu Mou and Wang Qiang, waiting for the next act to begin.

After a moment, Zhou Yumei said, "I found no trace of demonic energy; his spiritual power is very pure."

The hall fell silent. Not just Wang Qiang and Yu Mou, but even Minister Professor Zhou and Su Muyu seemed doubtful. Pure spiritual power? What about what happened before?

Yu Mou couldn’t sit still any longer and said coldly, "That’s impossible; if his spiritual power is pure, then how did he use the Demon Path Technique before?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yumei shot him a cold glance and said, "Are you saying that Minister Professor Yu believes I am helping him to cheat?"

"No… I don’t dare!"

Minister Professor Yu swallowed hard and immediately stepped back.

"If there was no cheating, then may I ask the hall master, what really happened before?"

Yu Mou was afraid of him, but Wang Qiang was not afraid of her.

Zhou Yumei frowned, turned around, and directly asked, "What happened before?"

Yi Qianmo sighed a little, then took out the Repel Evil sword and said, "It is because of this sword. This sword can absorb the blood of spirit beasts and keep it for a short time. Once used, it can briefly enhance one’s abilities."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Repel Evil Sword in Yi Qianmo’s hand, but saw nothing unusual; the sword was pitch black and showed no signs of spiritual power.

"Give it to me!"

Zhou Yumei reached out and said.

Although Yi Qianmo was reluctant, he still gave the sword to Zhou Yumei. Zhou Yumei infused it with spiritual power but found that the Repel Evil Sword did not respond at all, and there were no patterns appearing on it.

Seeing her look at him, Yi Qianmo said, "This sword recognizes its master; only I can activate it."

"Recognize master!"

A gasp went through the hall, and even the Mansion Master on the throne turned to look, his expression somewhat serious.

"A treasure that recognizes its master must be a spiritual treasure of the highest level. Could this sword really still be a spiritual treasure?"

The Minister Professors looked at the sword with greedy eyes, as spiritual treasures are rare.

In the entire Tianyuan Academy, it was not only spiritual treasures that were hard to find; high-level spirit tools were also very uncommon, and a spiritual treasure that recognizes its master is naturally highly ranked.

Yi Qianmo did not expect that his words would provoke such a strong reaction. When he saw Zhou Yumei hand the sword to the Mansion Master, his heart immediately filled with anxiety.

If the Mansion Master shamelessly kept his Repel Evil Sword, he would lose a great source of strength. Although the Mansion Master could not use it, he would definitely not return it.

The Mansion Master held the Repel Evil and did the same thing, but Repel Evil did not react at all, and Yi Qianmo became even more nervous.

After watching for a while, the Mansion Master handed the sword to Zhou Yumei and said, "Give it a try!"

Zhou Yumei returned the sword to Yi Qianmo, and with no other choice, Yi Qianmo had to open the Repel Evil Sword. As he infused it with spiritual power, the Repel Evil Sword immediately turned blood red.

Suddenly, a strong aura of blood curse overflowed from it, but this time Yi Qianmo did not release those vengeful spirits.

Even so, the Minister Professors, seeing this sword, all changed color, for the blood curse aura on this sword was much thicker than that of any demonic cultivator they had seen.

The Mansion Master’s gaze became serious, and he squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yi Qianmo quickly withdrew his spiritual power and put the sword away, showing that he had no intention of handing it over again.

Seeing this, Zhou Yumei frowned but did not ask for it back.

"Even if it is just a sword, it is still a demon sword. How can a disciple from Tianyuan Academy use a demon sword? If word gets out, it could lead to trouble."

Yu Mou said, "Moreover, this boy knows very well that this is a demon sword, yet he still uses it openly. His heart has obviously already fallen into darkness. He must be killed to warn others!"

"Whether it is dark or not depends on the person using the sword!"

Su Muyu couldn’t help but speak up, "Even righteous cultivators can commit acts of violence. Does that mean all righteous paths are dark paths?"

"You’re making excuses!"

Wang Qiang said angrily, "The righteous path is the righteous path. When it commits acts of violence, it is to eliminate evil!"

"What if I use this sword to eliminate evil?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"That also won’t do. A demon sword is a demon sword. If you use a demon sword, you must have already fallen into darkness!"

Wang Qiang said, "Otherwise, how could this sword recognize you as its master? Mansion Master, this boy cannot be allowed to stay. If he does, my Tianyuan Academy will surely be attacked by the four great sects together!"

"Yes, Mansion Master, this person cannot be allowed to stay. This sword should also be sealed away, otherwise, it will surely give others a chance to take control. If the Four Great Sects come to attack, the academy will face great disaster!"

A group of Shu School’s Minister Professors echoed in agreement.

Mansion Master squinted his eyes and said nothing, while the Tao School’s Minister Professors lowered their heads in silence. Su Muyu felt alone, because Wang Qiang made a strong point. If he had not fallen into the dark path, how could this sword recognize Yi Qianmo as its master?

However, Zhou Yumei found Wang Qiang’s words somewhat funny. When she had just checked Yi Qianmo’s spiritual power, she felt no trace of darkness. With such spiritual power, how could he possibly have fallen into the dark path?

Still, she was not ready to let Yi Qianmo speak. That guy had held her hand just now and had such disrespectful thoughts, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Even if he used a demon sword, what of it?"

Just then, Minister Professor Zhou stood up and spoke.

"What do you mean? Is Minister Professor Zhou really planning to side with the dark path?"

Yu Mou immediately put a big hat on him.

Minister Professor Zhou had a cold expression, but he did not dare to speak. Being associated with the dark side was too serious a charge.

Just then, the Old Pavilion Lord beside him stood up and said, "If using a demon sword means being with the dark side, then my Pill Pavilion is also with the dark side, for he is my Pill Pavilion’s Deputy Pavilion Lord!"

All the Shu School Ministers were stunned. Minister Professor Zhou supporting Yi Qianmo was expected, but they did not anticipate that even the Old Pavilion Lord would speak in support of Yi Qianmo, which made them uneasy.

Which of those present had not received kindness from the Old Pavilion Lord?

If those at the gathering respected Minister Professor Zhou, it was because of his incredible Pill Skills, but their respect for the Old Pavilion Lord came from genuine admiration.

They would rather offend the Mansion Master than upset the Old Pavilion Lord.

"What did you just say?"

Zhou Yumei, however, grasped the key point.

"I said, who cares if he is my Pill Pavilion’s Deputy Pavilion Lord!"

The Old Pavilion Lord smiled and said, "Little one, how much longer are you going to hide?"

"Deputy Pavilion Lord!!!"

The entire great hall was silent as a bird, they looked at the Old Pavilion Lord, then at Yi Qianmo, with disbelief on their faces.

But suddenly they remembered what Minister Professor Zhou announced yesterday in Pill Pavilion!

No matter how hard they guessed, they couldn’t imagine that the new Deputy Pavilion Lord of Pill Pavilion was actually a disciple of the Tao School who just joined not long ago, and he wasn’t even a Pill Master, right?

But they soon believed it. If it weren’t for the identity of this Deputy Pavilion Lord, why would Minister Professor Zhou support him so strongly? Why would the Old Pavilion Lord step in?

"Could he still be a Pill Master!!!" someone began to speculate!
