JSCMU-Chapter 51: It Should Be Yun Jin

“Oh no, why are the spirit beasts charging at me?” Yun Jin exclaimed in shock.

Ye Danxia’s smile grew deeper.

Very soon, Yun Jin will realize something was wrong.

But by then, it’ll be too late!

Yun Jin shouted dramatically, “Run!”

Then, like a streak of smoke, she bolted away.

Ye Danxia’s smile deepened even further.

What use was running?

The spirit beasts had already locked onto her, no matter where she ran, they would chase her relentlessly!

That would only further confirm Yun Jin as the one carrying evil aura!

Ye Danxia adopted a calm, unhurried posture, just waiting to enjoy the show.

“Danxia, run!” Yun Jin suddenly shouted.

Ye Danxia scoffed slightly.

They’re not charging at her, why should she run?

Absolutely laughable.

Those spirit beasts would follow Yun Jin anyway. She didn’t need to worry at all.

But in the next instant,

Screams erupted all around.

Ye Danxia paused in confusion. Her pupils violently contracted.

That Foundation Establishment Explosive Flame Tiger was already in front of her. It opened its bloody maw and lunged at her with fury.

Ye Danxia was horrified.

Impossible!

Why were these spirit beasts charging at her? This didn’t make sense!

She tried to dodge with all her might, but it was too late. The tiger clamped its jaws onto her shoulder.

Ye Danxia let out a piercing scream of pain!

“Little Junior Sister!” Gu Jinghong’s expression changed dramatically.

What was going on?

Had the spirit beasts gone insane?

Why were they attacking Danxia?

Gu Jinghong rushed down to rescue her,

But Yue Zhao stepped in to block him directly.

“Junior Brother Gu, based on what we just saw, this Ye Danxia is likely the one carrying evil aura. This kind of person isn’t worth saving, is she?”

Gu Jinghong’s face turned ashen, and he instinctively looked toward Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji’s expression was dark.

He didn’t know exactly what Gu Jinghong had done, nor had he asked.

But this second disciple of his had always succeeded in the past when using such methods. Why did things go wrong this time?

Zhao Wuji said coldly, “Save her first! Perhaps something went wrong, and the spirit beasts mistook the wrong person.”

“Sect Master, you can’t say that,” Lin Ya raised his brow and said with a glint in his eye, “Spirit beasts are incredibly perceptive, how could they make a mistake? This Ye Danxia must be the problem! In my opinion, we shouldn’t be in such a rush to save her. Let the spirit beasts confirm their target more carefully.”

Zhao Wuji wanted to object.

But Ling Fei frowned and spoke, “These spirit beasts were raised by me. Even in their frenzied state, they won’t kill. At most, this disciple will suffer some injuries. Observing a while longer shouldn’t be an issue.”

Due to his connection with the late-stage Fusion Realm sect guardian beast, Ling Fei held a respected position in the sect and had no need to fear Zhao Wuji.

He had agreed to use the spirit beasts not to help the sect master’s faction, but out of genuine concern about a possible evil-aura carrier.

Now that results were showing, he naturally wanted to see it through.

“Ahhh!!” Ye Danxia had already been knocked to the ground, multiple spirit beasts furiously biting at her. Her screams echoed across the square.

Yun Jin couldn’t help but cover her eyes, then peeked through her fingers.

Rampaging spirit beasts are so scary, so scary.

She was just a little child. She better not get nightmares from this!

Gu Jinghong, still held back by Yue Zhao, grew more and more anxious. “Elder Ling! The idea of an ‘evil aura carrier’ is just something from ancient texts. It might not even be real! If we wrongly accuse Little Junior Sister, won’t she suffer for nothing?”

Zhao Wuji looked at Ye Danxia’s agonized form and felt pained. The first time he saw Ye Danxia, even before knowing she had a Celestial Spiritual Root, he had already taken a liking to her.

After joining the sect, Ye Danxia was always obedient and sweet, calling him “Master” affectionately. Among the five male disciples he had accepted before, none were as cute and soft as Ye Danxia.

Now, seeing her rolling in agony,

Zhao Wuji clenched his teeth, no longer caring about anything else.

He suddenly stepped forward and swept his sleeve.

The spirit beasts now bore fresh wounds on them, but having lost all sense, they still wouldn’t back off.

“Master!” Ling Fei’s face changed, just about to speak.

Zhao Wuji struck again with increased force.

The spirit beasts were blown away.

The Explosive Flame Tiger was injured the most, it let out a howl and fainted.

The rest weren’t much better, writhing in pain on the ground.

Ling Fei’s expression darkened. He hurried over, feeding them medicinal pills and comforting them. But their cries were too pitiful, he had to give them sedatives to make them sleep.

Gu Jinghong rushed to pick up Ye Danxia.

Her body was covered in bite wounds, bloody and miserable.

How could this happen?

Gu Jinghong’s heart ached so much he wished he could take her place.

After summoning a few disciples to take the spirit beasts away, Ling Fei stood up, his face stern.

He said coldly, “Sect Master! Earlier, I said I would examine the spirit beasts after they calmed down. But you insisted on using them to detect the evil aura carrier! I listened to you and that’s why I removed their restraints. Now that they identified their target, you turned around and lashed out at them! You owe me an explanation for this!”

Ling Fei’s beard bristled in anger!

He had spent his entire life working with spirit beasts. It could be said that to him spirit beasts were more important to him than most humans.

This time, the spirit beasts were unjustly harmed, which only made him even more furious!

Being scolded like this, with a finger pointed right at his nose, made Zhao Wuji feel rather embarrassed. He couldn’t help but say, “Senior Ling, the reason these spirit beasts went berserk is still unclear. I know Danxia, she’s kind and filial. There’s no way she could be this so-called carrier of evil aura. Besides, she has a Celestial Spiritual Root! If she grows stronger in the future, she could enter one of the Four Holy Lands. That would bring great honor to our sect!”

“The fact that she has a Celestial Spiritual Root only makes it more dangerous,” Lin Ya said coldly. “If someone with a Celestial Spiritual Root really is a carrier of evil aura, wouldn’t that just make the disaster she could bring even greater? In my opinion, we should nip such a dangerous person in the bud while we still can.”

As Lin Ya said this, several peak masters seemed faintly swayed. If the spirit beasts had targeted Yun Jin, they might have believed she was framed. But now, the one the spirit beasts targeted was Ye Danxia!

In Tianxing Sect, who could possibly tamper with the sect master’s own disciple?

So…

Could it be that Ye Danxia really was the carrier of evil aura?

If that were the case, this disciple must absolutely not be allowed to remain!

Ye Danxia looked at everyone’s expressions and began to feel afraid. She tightly clutched Gu Jinghong’s sleeve. “Second Senior Brother, it’s not me! I’m not the one with evil aura! The real carrier… it should be Yun Jin! It’s Yun Jin ah!”

Ye Danxia was overwhelmed with fear.

She didn’t understand why things had turned out like this.

Why did those damned spirit beasts attack her?

They were supposed to chase Yun Jin. The one who should’ve been bitten and covered in wounds was Yun Jin!

How could it be her instead?
