A gust of wind blew past, making the scene look somewhat awkward.
"Creeak—"
"Waaagh~, Pav... Pavilion Master."
To force Huang Quan Zun Zhe to make a move, Xiao Lin couldn't resist controlling the starlight hand to give a forceful squeeze.
Instantly, Kun Wu's miserable screams rang out once again.
Kun Wu's screams only served to make Huang Quan Zun Zhe even more flustered and irritable. To be honest, given the circumstances, as the Pavilion Master of the Yellow Spring Pavilion, he ought to take action.
After all, someone had attacked his doorstep, not only injuring the disciples and Elders of his Yellow Spring Pavilion, but one of the Elders was even being tortured right in front of him!
How could he just sit by and watch?
However, this was simply Huang Quan Zun Zhe's personality.
Insidious and cunning!
The feeling this person gave him was just too off!
Thinking from another perspective.
What kind of person would dare to be so provocative and insolent after knowing the famous name of the Yellow Spring Pavilion?
This person was either a fool, or someone with nothing to fear who simply didn't care about the Yellow Spring Pavilion at all.
Did the person in front of him look like a fool?
In Huang Quan Zun Zhe's eyes, he clearly did not.
Then, there was only one answer.
This person did not fear his Yellow Spring Pavilion!
Additionally, as a Two-Star Dou Zun himself, he actually couldn't see through the other party's cultivation. It was very clear that this was a powerhouse whose strength was above his own.
In reality, although Huang Quan Zun Zhe was only a Two-Star Dou Zun, when fighting within the Yellow Spring Pavilion with the help of the Sect Guardian Grand Formation, he had the confidence to not fear any powerhouse below the rank of a Six-Star Dou Zun.
But what he feared was that the cultivation of the person in front of him exceeded the rank of Six-Star Dou Zun. If that were the case, even if everyone in the Yellow Spring Pavilion joined forces, they wouldn't be enough to handle him.
What Huang Quan Zun Zhe didn't know was that while he was considering these things, Xiao Lin, in his capacity as a Spiritual Array Master, was already quietly analyzing the Yellow Spring Pavilion's Sect Guardian Grand Formation.
Give him just a few more moments, and he was confident he could seize control of this array!
At that time, Huang Quan Zun Zhe would have no chance at all!
"Should I strike?"
Cold sweat slid down from Huang Quan Zun Zhe's forehead.
Regarding this choice, he was indecisive.
After all, for the Yellow Spring Pavilion, if he took a step forward now, it might lead to a bottomless abyss. It must be said that Huang Quan Zun Zhe's character also destined him to be a sufficiently cowardly person.
Facing this situation, whether it were the Falling Star Pavilion, the Wind Lightning Pavilion, or the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion, they would have chosen to strike without the slightest hesitation.
To them, this kind of humiliation was no different from death!
Better to die standing than to live kneeling. However, it was precisely because Huang Quan Zun Zhe was different from the masters of the other three pavilions that he might just save his life today and preserve a sliver of hope.
One can only say that cowards have their own way of surviving.
"Pav... Pavilion Master, save... save me, kill... kill him."
Just as Huang Quan Zun Zhe was feeling distracted, Kun Wu, whose bones were nearly all broken by the starlight hand summoned by Xiao Lin, began to cry for help again.
It would have been fine if Kun Wu hadn't called out, but these repeated cries for help finally caused Huang Quan Zun Zhe to reach a final decision. Taking a look at the still calm and composed Xiao Lin, Huang Quan Zun Zhe knew it was time to make his choice.
"Shut up! Kun Wu, as the Second Elder of my Yellow Spring Pavilion, you usually enjoy practicing favoritism and fraud, and I've tolerated your bullying of your fellow sect members, but today you have actually offended a Great Power."
"I hereby decree that your status as Second Elder is revoked, and you are expelled from my Yellow Spring Pavilion!"
With a furious shout, Huang Quan Zun Zhe suddenly began to pronounce Kun Wu's crimes with an air of righteous indignation.
This sudden maneuver by Huang Quan Zun Zhe completely stunned Xiao Lin.
Kun Wu, meanwhile, wore a look of utter disbelief. He never expected that when an enemy had already attacked the Yellow Spring Pavilion, the Pavilion Master would instead turn around and pronounce judgment on his crimes!
"Pav... Pavilion Master, you... you..."
Perhaps truly choked with rage, Kun Wu found himself unable to even speak a complete sentence for a moment.
"Hmph? What, you still refuse to accept it?"
"My Yellow Spring Pavilion has always acted in an open and upright manner. Do you still wish to slander me? To express my Yellow Spring Pavilion's apology for the offense caused to Your Excellency, I shall personally deal with this sinner on your behalf today!"
Huang Quan Zun Zhe first shut Kun Wu up with a sharp rebuke, then turned to Xiao Lin with a look of sincere apology.
At this moment, anyone unaware of the inside story would likely think Huang Quan Zun Zhe was a paragon of justice!
"Shadow Soul Eater!"
Sure enough, as the words left his mouth, Huang Quan Zun Zhe casually unleashed a Dark Dou Technique. However, watching the incoming Dark Dou Technique, Xiao Lin didn't move a single step.
Because the target of this Dark Dou Technique wasn't him, but Kun Wu!
"Waaaagh! Huang Quan, you have such a cruel heart!"
Wrapped in a mass of dark shadows, Kun Wu instantly let out a string of blood-curdling screams.
Watching such a spectacular scene, Xiao Lin naturally had no reason to stop it. In fact, the moment Huang Quan Zun Zhe unleashed the Dark Dou Technique, Xiao Lin withdrew his starlight hand. Finally, as Kun Wu's screams faded, the mass of shadows disappeared as well.
When looking toward the spot where Kun Wu had been, there was only a withered, skin-and-bones corpse remaining. The blood within that corpse had been completely drained. Of course, along with it, even Kun Wu's soul had been annihilated.
Huang Quan Zun Zhe was ruthless to this extent!
One must remember, this was the Second Elder of his own Yellow Spring Pavilion!
Yet he killed him just like that, without even blinking an eye.
Xiao Lin had truly seen it all now.
Kun Wu's dying screams also caused everyone else within the Yellow Spring Pavilion to watch on in terror. They had always known their Pavilion Master was sinister and ruthless. However, they never imagined their Pavilion Master could be heartless to this degree!
An enemy attacks the sect, and instead of fighting the enemy, the Pavilion Master executes one of his own!
How could this not chill them to the bone?
At this moment, the disciples watching this scene, including many Elders and high-level officials, began to show flickering, wavering gazes. Clearly, after this incident, the morale and unity of the Yellow Spring Pavilion had crumbled.
After all, if their Pavilion Master could kill the Second Elder just like that, what about them? If something similar happened in the future, their Pavilion Master wouldn't hesitate to kill them either, would he?
At this moment, who among the disciples and Elders of the Yellow Spring Pavilion wanted to become the next Kun Wu?
How could Huang Quan Zun Zhe not sense the thoughts of his disciples and Elders? But he had no other choice!
If he didn't finish off Kun Wu, the enemy might finish off the entire Yellow Spring Pavilion!
He was doing this to save the sect, wasn't he?
"A bunch of brainless trash, this Pavilion Master is saving your lives!"
Huang Quan Zun Zhe thought irritably as he cast a vicious glare at the trembling, uncertain disciples and Elders around him.
While the logic might hold up, the entire Yellow Spring Pavilion now shared a sense of "the fox mourning the death of the rabbit"—a shared grief for their own kind. As for Xiao Lin, he watched the unfolding drama with a deeply meaningful expression on his face.
