Thud—Boom…
Just as the crescent-shaped blade of cold light was about to strike Ye Feng's crotch, another equally powerful aura suddenly blocked it.
That aura shimmered with colorful light and carried astonishing force.
The two forces collided, sending waves of energy surging outward with a thunderous roar.
Cold sweat covered Ye Feng's body as he gasped for breath.
The aura that had appeared just now did not belong to Elder Long inside his Spirit Fusion Mirror—but it was still a familiar presence.
It was his master.
Everyone in the hall turned to look toward the entrance.
Jiang Yantian did the same.
A stunning woman slowly walked in.
She wore a turquoise star-patterned gown and held the Water-Cold Immortal Sword. Her beauty was extraordinary, almost otherworldly.
Her long hair flowed like a waterfall down to her waist. Her face was elegant and pure, her skin pale as snow with an untainted glow.
Her beautiful eyes were deep like the starry night sky. Her brows resembled distant mountains, her nose was straight, and her lips were like crimson petals—delicate and alluring.
She stepped forward slowly, her expression icy. Her flowing dress moved without wind, radiating overwhelming presence.
The newcomer was Ye Feng's master—Luo Xingcai.
"Master… I've been wronged!" Ye Feng cried out hoarsely, his voice trembling with the relief of someone who had just escaped death.
This was his lifeline.
Luo Xingcai didn't respond. She simply walked toward Jiang Yantian.
On the surface, Jiang Yantian merely glanced at her.
But in truth he was trying to sneak a look beneath her long dress.
Damn… what a pair of snowy peaks.
"Elder Luo, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Yantian asked, staring straight at her. "Ye Feng is your disciple. You should avoid involvement in today's punishment."
Luo Xingcai stared back at him for a long moment before speaking. Her voice was clear like a silver bell.
"He is my disciple. And you—are you not as well?"
Jiang Yantian smiled faintly.
"Of course. But times have changed. Today I must first act as the Law Enforcement Elder, and only afterward as your disciple."
"If I were to shield a fellow disciple while serving as a Law Enforcement Elder, I would betray the sect's trust."
Sect Master Lu Ming and several elders showed approving expressions.
"You wouldn't shield him," Luo Xingcai said coldly, word by word. "But you would frame him."
Hearing this, Jiang Yantian sneered inwardly.
Of course she believed Ye Feng.
After all, Ye Feng was the Son of Fortune, while he himself was the villain.
No matter how flawless his setup had been, even though everyone in the sect now believed Ye Feng guilty—this beautiful master still believed in him from the bottom of her heart.
"Elder Luo," Jiang Yantian said calmly, "since you say I framed him, do you have evidence? Otherwise, you won't be able to stop my next move."
He showed no courtesy.
Beautiful women were nice.
But he wasn't a simp—there was no need to indulge her.
Luo Xingcai remained calm.
"I have no evidence. But I trust Ye Feng's character."
"I came today simply to clarify the truth."
"You keep saying you witnessed everything personally, but it's only your word. There is no proof—"
Before she could finish, Jiang Yantian tossed out a Recording Stone.
The stone floated in the air under his control.
"I originally wanted to leave both sides some dignity," Jiang Yantian said lazily. "But since you insist on digging to the bottom of this… I'll grant your wish."
The Recording Stone spun.
Images appeared in the air.
What the images showed was… difficult to describe.
Let's just say it involved "plowing fields between twin peaks and catching a glimpse of a little backside."
Ye Feng saw it—and instantly exploded in rage.
[Ding! The Son of Fortune Ye Feng has socially died in public. Humiliation Points +5000]
"Jiang Yantian, you bastard! You filthy scum! I will never share the same sky with you! Even if I die, I won't let you go!"
"Jiang Yantian, you damn monster! AHHHH!! AHHHH!!"
Ye Feng had nearly lost his mind.
Being framed like this was unbearable for someone as proud and self-respecting as him.
Everything shown in that recording had been orchestrated by Jiang Yantian. Even the "movements" had likely been pushed by him.
Luo Xingcai glanced at the projection once.
She immediately closed her eyes and turned away, biting her teeth as her chest rose and fell with anger.
Great Elder Qi nearly started cursing aloud.
"Beast! Damn beast!"
"Ye Feng, you animal! I curse you!"
Jiang Yantian retrieved the Recording Stone.
"Elder Luo, do you still have any doubts?"
With the evidence laid bare, Luo Xingcai said nothing more. She simply walked aside and stood with her back to the scene.
"Since that's the case…"
"The punishment continues."
This time Jiang Yantian moved extremely quickly.
Another flash of cold light shot forward.
This time—no one stopped him.
The blade swept past Ye Feng's crotch in a flash.
"AHH—…ugh…"
Ye Feng's body trembled violently.
The struggling stopped instantly.
His eyes were bloodshot, sweat poured down his face, and his body shook uncontrollably.
His lifelong companion had left him today.
Every male elder present subconsciously clenched their legs again.
[Ding! The Son of Fortune Ye Feng's manhood has been severed. Humiliation Points +10,000]
"It's gone… it's gone… it's gone…"
"A cold breeze down there…"
"Without a man's dignity… what's the point of becoming strong anymore?"
Suspended in the chains, Ye Feng muttered blankly.
Jiang Yantian withdrew the Nine-Nether Immortal Steel Chains, and Ye Feng collapsed heavily onto the ground.
Sighing softly, Jiang Yantian crouched beside him and patted his shoulder.
"Ye Feng… I'll still call you senior brother like before."
"Senior Brother, don't blame me. I'm just enforcing sect rules."
"Even though you lost… that thing… I can still compensate you personally."
"You're unmatched in the sword path—the sect's sword genius, a natural Sword Embryo!"
"So I'll give you a sword manual. It has a very famous name."
"NO-JJ Sword Manual. Also known as the Sunflower Sword Manual."
"How about I help you pick a new name too?"
"You're called Ye Feng now… but from today on, how about Ye Fen?"
Ye Feng remained frozen, staring blankly like a fool.
[Ding! The Son of Fortune Ye Feng's Dao Heart has suffered severe damage. Humiliation Points +50,000]
[Psychological damage to Ye Feng maxed out. Humiliation Points +50,000]
[Ye Feng has officially become a eunuch. 'Leftover Egg Calamity' complete. Humiliation Points +100,000]
[Host completed custom mission: Frame Ye Feng]
Rewards:
Ancient Ferocious Beast (Golden Core Mid-Stage): Crimson Flame Golden Ni Beast(Its strength grows along with the host.)
Divine-grade Demonic Weapon: Sun-Extinguishing Blade
Seeing the flood of system rewards, Jiang Yantian could only think one thing:
This feels amazing.
From now on, just seeing Ye Feng and insulting him with things like "yin-yang freak," "broken eunuch," "dead demon," or "leftover egg loser" would probably earn him tons of Humiliation Points.
After all, the psychological blow was enormous.
Jiang Yantian stopped paying attention to the devastated Ye Feng.
He cupped his hands toward Sect Master Lu Ming.
"Sect Master, the punishment has been carried out. I shall take my leave."
Lu Ming nodded without saying much.
He transformed into a streak of light and disappeared first.
The other elders followed shortly after.
Great Elder Qi glared fiercely at Ye Feng before leaving while cursing under his breath.
Since the man was now a eunuch, he couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter further. It was best that the scandal hadn't spread.
Soon the hall was empty.
Only Ye Feng, kneeling on the ground, and Luo Xingcai, standing near the entrance, remained.
Luo Xingcai sighed softly and shook her head.
After today, Ye Feng would likely never recover.
The once dazzling sword genius might disappear forever.
He… had become she.
"Ye Feng," Luo Xingcai called.
No response.
He remained frozen in the same posture.
"Ye Feng!"
"Get lost! All of you get lost! GET LOST!" Ye Feng suddenly roared like a madman.
Luo Xingcai understood.
Right now, he needed time alone.
She quietly left.
Ye Feng collapsed onto the ground and began crying.
But as he cried, he suddenly burst into eerie laughter.
"Elder Long!"
"You kept saying my destiny was boundless… that you would guide my rise!"
"Then why didn't you save me?! Why didn't you save me?!"
A faint white mist wrapped around Ye Feng.
An old voice sounded.
"Little friend, it is not that I refused to help. Even if I acted, nothing would have changed."
"If my presence had been detected by those powerful figures, the Spirit Fusion Mirror would have been discovered and seized. Both you and I would have been in danger."
"What is done cannot be undone."
"You must stabilize your Dao Heart and turn your hatred into strength."
"I will devote everything to helping you."
Slowly, Ye Feng stood up.
His eyes were filled with venom as he gritted his teeth.
"Jiang Yantian…"
"The humiliation of today will be repaid ten thousand times over."
"If I do not kill you…"
"I swear I am not human."
