Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 429: Chapter 429: A Bitch

More than twenty people rushed out in an instant. Each held a Moonlight Stone, and in a flash, the entire Space was illuminated as bright as day.

Squinting slightly, Lin Yun said nothing. He just swept his gaze across the twenty-plus Direct Disciples. It had come to this. He could see the triumphant look of a successful plot in their eyes.

Sure enough, at that very moment, the girl who had been playing the victim suddenly screamed, "Senior Brothers, save me! He tried to force himself on me and even injured the four senior brothers who came to my rescue...!"

Hearing the girl’s scream, Lin Yun’s gaze fell directly upon her, his eyes filled with an extreme, icy chill.

At this moment, the clothes Lin Yun had draped over her were long gone. The girl’s already torn sleeves and collar were now in an even more wretched state.

Clutching her arms across her chest, the girl pointed at Lin Yun, crying tearfully as she shouted, "Senior Brother Lin Yun, I never thought you could be so despicable! You lured me here to force yourself on me, and what’s worse, you injured the four senior brothers who came to save me!"

In the blink of an eye, the tables had turned, and Lin Yun was painted as the despicable fiend who had committed the outrage.

As the girl was accusing Lin Yun, a voice came from outside the crowd, "Lin Yun, I never imagined you were so vile. How could Flawless Palace have produced scum like you?"

Following the voice, Chang Jing walked in from outside the crowd. The moment Lin Yun saw him, he understood everything. This was all Chang Jing’s plan.

A cold smirk played on Chang Jing’s lips. ’Everything is going smoothly, exactly as I planned,’ he thought. ’With all the witnesses and evidence in place, Lin Yun couldn’t talk his way out of this even if he had a hundred mouths.’

Looking at Chang Jing, Lin Yun’s eyes were incredibly cold. ’This guy would even stoop to something so despicable,’ he thought. ’It seems they’ll use any means necessary, as long as it gets rid of me.’

"Junior Brother Lin Yun, is there anything you have to say now?" Chang Jing asked nonchalantly.

Hearing Chang Jing’s words, Lin Yun replied in a cold voice, "Very good, Senior Brother Chang Jing. I suppose the Main Seat Elders are next on stage?"

Despite falling for Chang Jing’s trick, Lin Yun quickly calmed down. In a situation like this, panicking was useless; it would only make Chang Jing more smug. Only by calmly thinking of a way to break the deadlock could he hope to turn the tide.

Chang Jing was slightly taken aback that Lin Yun had calmed down, but he quickly started laughing again. ’What good is being calm? I’ve planned this for a long time. It’s a dead end. There’s no way Lin Yun can get out of this.’

Just as Lin Yun had predicted, two Main Seat Elders arrived, pretending to have rushed over after hearing the commotion. They stepped between Lin Yun and Chang Jing, and one of them spoke up.

"What is going on here?"

Hearing this, Chang Jing replied, "Reporting to the Elder, we heard someone shouting and had just arrived. We saw Junior Brother Lin Yun attempting to commit a shameful act against a fellow female Disciple. Moreover, he injured four junior brothers who came to her rescue..."

Hearing Chang Jing’s words, the Main Seat Elder first glanced at the four men on the ground, noting that their arms and legs were broken. Then, he turned to the girl in her tattered clothes.

Staring at the girl, the Main Seat Elder asked with feigned impartiality, "Is what Chang Jing said true?"

Upon hearing the Main Seat Elder’s question, the girl nodded firmly and replied, "Reporting to the Elder, every word Senior Brother Chang Jing said is true. Senior Brother Lin Yun did indeed try to force himself on me."

Watching them put on this play, Lin Yun remained silent. ’Anything I say now is useless,’ he thought. ’There’s no doubt these two Main Seat Elders are Chang Jing’s men.’

After a short period of questioning, the Main Seat Elder finally turned his gaze to Lin Yun and demanded, "Lin Yun, you may be the Palace Master’s Disciple, but for attempting such a disgraceful act, do you admit your guilt?"

It seemed the facts were already established. Lin Yun had truly been turned into this kind of despicable person.

Looking at the self-righteous Main Seat Elder, Lin Yun stated impassively, "A nest of vipers. I’m sure you know the truth of the matter better than I do. So, what now? Are we going to the Punishment Hall? Or should we summon the Palace Master and the Six Supreme Elders?"

As soon as Lin Yun finished speaking, the other Main Seat Elder, who had been silent until now, roared, "Lin Yun, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the Palace Master’s Disciple? Although the Punishment Hall cannot decide the punishment for a Core Disciple, we will absolutely not let this matter go! Even if it means summoning a Supreme Elder, we will see this through! Such a vile act is a disgrace to the name of Flawless Palace!"

The commotion drew more and more Direct Disciples over. Seeing Lin Yun surrounded in the middle, along with the girl in her tattered clothes, many of them began whispering among themselves.

Soon, someone had found out the whole story, and the crowd of Direct Disciples began to point at Lin Yun, gossiping.

Their talk was all about how Lin Yun was a sanctimonious hypocrite, how despicable he was, how he was a disgrace to his status as a Core Disciple—in short, they were all condemning him.

Lin Yun completely ignored their pointing and gossiping. This was all part of Chang Jing’s plan from the start. He looked at Chang Jing and the two Main Seat Elders, his expression unchanged.

Now that things had reached this point, Chang Jing would surely report this to Luo Feng and the Six Supreme Elders. Even if they couldn’t convict him, they would at least ensure he was punished.

The crowd grew larger and larger. Soon, Lu Bingning and Lan Xi arrived as well. After getting a rough idea of what had happened, the two women pushed through the crowd and went straight to Lin Yun’s side.

"Lin Yun..." the two women said, their voices tinged with anxiety. But before they could continue, Lin Yun raised a hand to stop them.

Halted by Lin Yun, the two women looked at the crying girl to the side. Instantly, an extreme chill filled both their eyes.

Would the two of them believe Lin Yun tried to force himself on her? ’What a joke,’ they thought. ’Putting everything else aside, this girl’s looks are a world away from ours. Would Lin Yun even give a woman like her a second glance?’

"Bitch," Lan Xi muttered under her breath.

At this point, it seemed Chang Jing had complete control of the situation. Lin Yun had no witnesses and no evidence; he was like a mute man eating bitter herbs—forced to suffer in silence.

The incident had already blown up. Before long, the other Main Seat Elders also arrived. After hearing the accusations, many of the Main Seat Elders who didn’t know Lin Yun well began to righteously condemn him.

They called Lin Yun the scum of Flawless Palace, said he was unworthy of being a Disciple of Flawless Palace, and insisted he must be severely punished.

The only Main Seat Elder who remained silent was Puzhu. At this moment, Puzhu’s eyes, as he looked at Lin Yun, held only a deep sense of worry.

Chang Jing’s trap was simply too vicious. Right now, Lin Yun truly had no way to defend himself.
