Chapter 8 Impeachment

  Boom!

  The palms and claws collided, emitting a loud sound like the tolling of a great bell, as if two hard steel plates were colliding. Meng Jun's tiger-like body seemed to have suffered a great loss, letting out a low growl, and was forcibly knocked back several feet. The sharp claws scratched deep marks on the ground.

  "Hmm!"

  A low hum came from behind, followed by the sound of a slight retreat. At the same time, a familiar scent immediately entered my nostrils.

  Aunt!

  Lin Xi subconsciously shouted out. A sense of anxiety flashed across his heart, and without thinking, he immediately turned around and threw himself into the arms of a figure behind him.

  This series of actions was completely instinctual. By the time Lin Xi came back to his senses, he had already thrown himself into someone's arms. Although it was actually his first time seeing her, that kind of deep affection seemed to be deeply etched into his soul.

  "Xī ér, nǐ méi shì ba?"

  Translation: "Xi'er, are you okay?"

  A gentle voice came into his ears, filled with concern.

  This is a middle-aged Taoist nun, wearing a cloud-patterned Taoist robe. Although she has already passed forty years old, she still looks like a thirty-year-old woman. Her black hair is as black as the clouds, with a Taoist hairpin inserted in it. Her skin is white and delicate like jade, exuding a beautiful demeanor. In her youth, she must have been a great beauty. At this moment, she is lowering her head, looking at Lin Xi with concern.

  This beautiful Taoist nun was Lin Xi's aunt, one of the three elders of the Wu Lei Sect, Lin Ruyun.

  Lin Xi had once thought that as a transmigrator, he could view everything around him with equanimity. However, looking at the slightly pale face in front of him, and the genuine anxiety and concern on that face, Lin Xi's heart trembled.

  He knew he still couldn't do anything, so he calmly faced everything around him and remained unmoved.

  "I'm fine!"

  Lin Xi felt a kind of emotion in her heart.

  Meng Jun!

  Lin Ruyun suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes flashing with fierce anger: "How dare you let the tiger harm Xi'er?!"

  "Haha, so it's Elder Lin after all. You're still as protective of this little beast as ever! It was just an accident, why get so angry?"

  Meng Jun lived in seclusion, looking down on the world with an air of calmness and composure.

  "Meng Jun, don't push me to my limits! If anything happens to Xi'er, I'll chop you into a million pieces!" Lin Ruyun's voice was stern and menacing. She still had lingering fear from what just happened.

  "Hmph!" Meng Jun's face turned cold upon hearing this, and he said in a chilly tone:

  "Lin Ruyun, don't be so arrogant! This little beast has brought about a disaster of epic proportions. I just wanted to teach him a small lesson. You may be able to protect him for now, but can you really protect him forever?"

  "Whether he's caused trouble or not is for the Council of Elders to decide, it's none of your business!! If you dare lay a hand on him again, don't blame me for not showing brotherly love!"

  Lin Ruyun's face was as cold as frost, and in her beautiful eyes, a hint of determination could be seen.

  Meng Jun's expression also slightly froze upon hearing this. It was clear that Lin Xi was her bottom line. Meng Jun could sense it, this old nun wasn't just talking big, she really dared to fight to the death with herself.

  He is a man who values his life and certainly does not want to fight Lin Ruyun to the death.

  "Hum! Old nun, what status are you, dare to speak to my father like this?"

  At this moment, a head popped out from behind Meng Jun. It was a 17 or 18-year-old young man with an arrogant face:

  "My father is going to be the future master, and based on what you said today, it's a heinous crime of deceiving one's teacher and destroying one's ancestors. In the future, you'll be the first one to be dealt with!"

  Lin Xi's eyes were sharp and she recognized that the young man was Meng Jun's son, Meng Shi.

  Lin Ruyun was so angry that she almost lost her temper. She was a senior member of the Five Thunder Sect, with a noble status. But now even Meng Jun's son dared to humiliate her. It can be seen how arrogant Meng Jun usually is in the sect.

  Lin Ruyun was so angry that her whole body was trembling.

  Lin Xi saw all of this. His aunt was humiliated, and as her nephew, he naturally would not tolerate it.

  With a flash of his body, Lin Xi immediately walked up and said: "Meng Jun, teach your son well. I heard that you only have one son, I'm afraid he won't live past 18 years old... Auntie, if I have any mishap, my only wish is to kill that little brat and bury him with me!"

  Lin Xi's words were extremely resolute and ruthless.

  Meng Jun's face changed on the spot:

  "You little beast! How dare you——"

  Lin Xi's words struck his weak point. Meng Jun Tian was fearless and lawless in the sect, and even more so in the outside world. He dared to do things like killing Lin Xi in public. But his son Meng Shi was his only weakness.

  Meng Jun is already old, and it's impossible for him to have another child. If Meng Shi dies, the Meng family will truly be extinct. Even if he becomes the leader of the Five Thunder Sect, it won't make a difference.

  "Lin Xi, you're shameless! ——"

  Meng Jun's death, Meng Shi's face was filled with a sense of accomplishment, but when he heard these words, it was as if he had been struck by lightning. His face turned pale and his whole body stiffened in fright.

  To kill him would be as easy as killing a chicken!

  Lin Ruyun also came to her senses at this time, seeing the wonderful expressions on Meng Jun and his son's faces, she suddenly had a feeling of relief. She was not good at verbal sparring, and with her identity, it was not suitable for her to have a common understanding with Meng Shi. But if Lin Xi were to argue, it would be completely different.

  "That's right! Meng Jun, if Xi Er were to have an accident, your precious son would have to be buried with her!"

  Lin Ruyun understood. Her eyes fiercely glanced at Meng Shi.

  Meng Shi's face turned even paler.

  Meng Jun's face turned iron-green, his expression extremely unpleasant:

  "Lin Ruyun, you're ruthless! However, you can only protect him for now, but not forever - we'll see the truth at the Elder Council meeting!"

  Riding the tiger, he suddenly disappeared into the clouds. But not a single word was willing to be said anymore. Meng Jun would never admit that he was afraid of Lin Ruyun's threat no matter what.

  "Xī ér, it's still you who is clever, let that old guy eat a loss. Don't worry about the Council of Elders' affairs. - Auntie has made up her mind today, no matter what, she won't let them succeed!"

  Lin Ruyun pulled Lin Xi and immediately headed towards the mountain peak.

  ………

  The top of Wulei Mountain, the main hall of the sect, is solemn and majestic.

  The six elders sat upright with a serious expression, behind each of them stood seven or eight core disciples, the atmosphere was solemn.

  In the highest position of the grand hall, an old man sat with his eyebrows lowered. He wore a green robe, his hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles. The aura on his body was like a candle in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.

  If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew each other's backgrounds, no one would have dared to believe it. This old man who looked ordinary and seemed like he could die at any moment was actually the number one master of the Five Thunder Sect, a super strong expert known as being able to fight against giant dragons.

  Also the only ninth-order Dragon Force user of the Five Thunder Sect!

  However, at this time, the only Dragon Power strongman looked drowsy and old, without any aura or dominance of a Dragon Power strongman.

  "Elder Meng, this elder council was initiated by you, so let's have you speak first."

  The old man slowly closed his eyes, his two long eyebrows drooping down, and spoke in a slow tone. After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes again.

  The great elder has no interest in power, this is well known.

  "Alright! Since the elder has spoken, I'll say it then."

  Meng Jun obtained the consent of the elder and immediately stood up from his wide chair, scanning with a glance, saying calmly:

  "Gentlemen! Recently, you should all know what happened in our party. The Holy Maiden of the Lieyang Sect was a guest at our Wulei Mountain, but someone actually broke into her room and peeked at her while she was bathing. The Lieyang Sect is a major sect, and its leader is a powerful figure who has reached the 10th level of the Thunderous Sound Period. Although our Wulei Sect's strength is not bad either, it still lags far behind that of the Lieyang Sect. The Holy Maiden of the Lieyang Sect holds an esteemed position and is a symbol of the sect. If she suffered such humiliation here, it would be equivalent to disrespecting the Lieyang Sect. If the Lieyang Sect seizes on this incident, our Wulei Sect will immediately face disaster!"

  Meng Jun suddenly turned around and shouted angrily:

  "Lin Xi, you little beast, get out here right now!"

  Before the sound had even faded away, a swift movement was made and he vanished into thin air. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared in front of Lin Xi, his palm reaching out to grab the top of his head.

  "Meng Jun, you dare!"

  Lin Ruyun's eyes turned cold in an instant, and she flew up from her chair, striking out with a palm.

  Bang!

  A deafening metallic sound burst forth in the air, and at the same time a matchless aura burst out. Meng Jun and Lin Ruyun parted ways, each retreating several steps.

  "Meng Jun! What do you want to do?"

  Lin Ruyun stood in the center of the hall, her face a picture of indignation, like a mother beast that had been provoked.

  "Lin Ruyun, do you still want to protect him? This little beast has no skills, but his audacity is boundless. He even dares to peep at the Sacred Maiden of Liet Yang. Today he's caused such a disaster, in the future he'll surely stir up an even bigger one. As the saying goes, 'A son not taught, is a father's fault.' Now that he's gotten into this kind of trouble, you can't escape being implicated!"

  Meng Jun's words were sharp and opposing, without any intention of backing down.

  "Nonsense! Xi'er is just a child, his martial arts skills are lowly, how could he possibly break through the layers of defense around Lieyang Shengnu? This matter is suspicious, someone must be framing him. Meng Jun, don't believe such nonsense!"

  Lin Ruyun chose to trust Lin Xi deeply, even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

  "Hmph! The facts are clear, the evidence is overwhelming. You can't deny it. Honorable elders, I propose that we put to a vote the matter of stripping Lin Xi of his position as Young Master. —I suggest, strip Lin Xi of his position as Young Master!"

  Meng Jun's eyes flashed with a sinister plot as he gazed at the crowd and raised one hand.

  "What's your opinion, other elderly gentlemen?"

  "Hmph! I said it a long time ago, we can't be too lenient and dote on this kid, otherwise he will definitely cause big trouble in the future. But you didn't listen, now look what's happened? Elder Meng was right. This kid has caused a huge disaster, we can't keep him anymore. We must strip him of his Young Master title and hand him over to the Liuyang Sect to deal with, and cut off all ties between him and our sect!"

  The five elders immediately echoed in unison, their faces cold and sinister, exuding a chill.

  "Unfair!"

  Lin Xi's pupils suddenly contracted. He also saw that Wei Bu Ping and Meng Jun were in cahoots, having colluded with each other. These two sang the same tune, determined to abolish his position as Young Master.

  Meng Jun is the mastermind, he is also the accomplice.

  "Elder Wei!"

  Lin Ruyun cried out in a loud voice, she obviously still hadn't figured out the relationship between Wei Buping and Meng Jun.

  "Lin Xi is the only son of the master, are you going to make the last bloodline of the Lin family extinct?"

  "Elder Lin, you can't say that. Lin Xi is indeed the only son of the Master's brother, but one person does things and one person takes responsibility. Letting him die is better than letting the entire sect be buried with him?"

  In another location, the four elderly men sat on a wide chair, tapping their fingers one by one, rhythmically striking the armrests, with an air of "I handle things fairly".

  "Duān old man, you..."

  Lin Ruyun's heart skipped a beat, with a feeling of being betrayed, which almost made her furious. Before today, she had run around to inform everyone that she had already obtained Duan Yimei's consent, but unexpectedly, he went back on his word at the critical moment.

  This is no small blow to Lin Ruyun!

  Among the six elders, three have already agreed to overthrow Lin Xi, and the situation is precarious.
