Chapter 31: The Farmer and the Snake

Upon hearing the intelligence brought by the Grand Elder, Qing Hui grew anxious but had to maintain his composure in front of Chong Xu.

When Chong Xu left, he paced nervously around the room, fear filling his heart.

If there was no evidence, even if someone suspected him, no one would make a move against him.

But once the Spirit Stones were found, his secret would be exposed, and at that time, death might be the best outcome.

In the world of cultivation, even the most righteous sects have many ways to make a person's life worse than death.

And the Sect has always held rebellious disciples in extreme contempt, dealing with them using the most vicious methods to serve as a warning to others.

Qing Hui seemed to see his own ending, enduring all kinds of humiliation and having his cultivation abolished, becoming a slave in the Sword Sect.

Death was impossible, as the Sword Sect would not execute him. But his fate would certainly be worse than death.

"No, there's still a chance."
