Chapter 53: Betrayal

Lan Ming gritted her teeth, as she circulated her Qi in her body, ready to fight to death. The aura of Core Formation Realm erupted from her as everything surrounding her began to tremble her terrifying pressure.

She clenched her hand around the sword and looked at the mountain peak where the mist was slowly being cleared away by something.

Song Junwan came to stand beside her, unaffected by her aura and also looked at the mountain peak. Her face was grim as she muttered.

"Ming, remember to get the disciples to safety while I try to distract them."

Although Lan Ming didn't want that, she could do nothing but agree to the arrangements. That was the only thing they could do now.

"Haha, do you really think I will let anyone escape today?"

With a gust of wind, all the mist was cleared away, revealing four figures hovering in the air. Three of them were middle aged man and other was a middle-aged woman and all four of them radiated aura of Core Formation Realm.

Not only that but their aura was stronger than that of Lan Ming, cleary showing who had the upper hand. After all, Lan Ming was the youngest among the Peak Lords and these four had been Peak Lord for a long time.

One of them, a middle-aged man with bald head who emitted the aura of Peak-Grade Core Formation Realm was the Grand Elder of the Sect.

"Ling Feng, Wei Long, Tian Shen, and finally Mei Ling. You four really have the guts to actually rebel, huh."

Song Junwan said, her voice utterly devoid of any emotions as the aura of Nascent Soul Realm erupted from her, repelling the aura of all four. She took a step forward as the ground beneath her shattered into pieces and winds began to howl all over the Sect.

Black clouds gathered above the Sect, turning the beautiful sunny morning into a sight as if the heavens were punishing the Sect.

The Four Peak Lords trembled under the show of power but didn't back away. They knew who they were facing and had been preparing for it for a long time.

Wei Long snorted as he clapped twice. Instantly, many figures appeared from all around the mountain and surrounded the two women. They all radiated a terrifying aura and were pressuring on Song Junwan.

Although they individually were weak, combined together they created a terrifying scene. Even Song Junwan flinched seeing the figures.

After all, they were all the top disciples of Wind Flower Sect they had nurtured all over the years and now they had turned against her.

All the disciples held their weapons as they looked at their senior with various expressions. Some had pity in their eyes, someone were just gloating at their misfortune and had a neutral expression. However, all of that didn't change the fact that they had betrayed their own Sect Leader who had protected them throughout the years they had lived in the Sect.

However, they were also helpless. They could only do as Grand Elder instructed otherwise they would be killed. And siding with Song Junwan also meant death. So they could only support in this rebellion and do as Grand Elder said.

Lan Ming's body trembled seeing everyone she considered as her family turning against her. They actually dared to have their weapons pointed at them. Her heart ached seeing that as rage began to fill her mind.

However, then a hand landed in her shoulder as a voice chilling enough to freeze even her bones entered her ears.

"Search the disciples and escape the Sect. I'll give the judgement they all deserve for betraying us."

Song Junwan said as she prepared to go all out, without caring about her illness.

"By disciples do mean these wrenches?"

As Mei Ling laughed, ten young woman were pushed on the road by some of the disciples. Seeing that, Lan Ming coughed up blood in anger. Her hand trembled as she looked at the disciples who had pushed the woman.

"You...."

Her eyes were bloodshot and she felt like her heart were breaking into many pieces. She recognised the disciples and the young women. They were the disciples Song Junwan and she had trained and took care of. They were like her children as she had seen them growing up. And now the same children had betrayed her.

Her heart couldn't take it anymore and she coughed up even more blood.
