Li Muqing's face turned pale with fear, his legs weak as if he might collapse at any moment. He never expected that Meng Hao could survive in such a situation, unleashing such incredible power!
A wave of unprecedented terror washed over him, a deep-seated shudder from within.
"Li Muqing, do you really think you can trap me?" Meng Hao's voice was cold and filled with murderous intent.
He stepped toward Li Muqing, each step feeling as though he was crushing Li Muqing's heart, suffocating him.
Li Muqing stumbled backward in fright, wanting to escape but finding his legs unresponsive. He saw the rage in Meng Hao's eyes, as if he intended to devour him whole, and he knew that this time, he was truly finished!
He wanted to beg for mercy, but it felt as though something was choking his throat, rendering him voiceless.
Meng Hao gave him no chance; he suddenly accelerated, moving like lightning and appearing right in front of Li Muqing.
The Heavenly Axe was raised high, carrying an unstoppable force as it struck down toward Li Muqing!
Just as the axe was about to fall, a figure suddenly flashed in front of Li Muqing, wielding a longsword in an attempt to block Meng Hao's devastating blow.
"Stop!" Bai Yunzi shouted angrily. He recognized the figure as his most prized disciple, Li Muqing!
However, Meng Hao's attack had already been unleashed and was unstoppable!
The Heavenly Axe collided with the longsword, producing a piercing sound of metal scraping against metal, sparks flying everywhere!
Li Muqing felt an overwhelming force strike him; the longsword slipped from his grasp as his body flew back like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the wall. He coughed up blood and instantly lost consciousness.
Meng Hao's axe did not relent; it continued its momentum toward the spot where Li Muqing had stood.
With a thunderous crash, the ground split open with a massive fissure, debris scattering everywhere.
The entire hall shook violently as if it might collapse at any moment.
For a moment, silence enveloped the hall; everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
Meng Hao, the unassuming woodcutter they had overlooked daily, had unleashed such terrifying power!
Holding the Heavenly Axe, he radiated golden light like a war god descending upon them.
His Golden Arm shone brilliantly, making him appear even more formidable.
Bai Yunzi stared blankly at Meng Hao, shock and disbelief filling his eyes. He knew Meng Hao was extraordinary but never imagined he could be this powerful!
"Meng Hao!" Bai Yunzi snapped back to reality as he looked at the unconscious Li Muqing on the ground, his face turning pale with concern.
"Master, your disciple has returned," Meng Hao said calmly as he sheathed the Heavenly Axe, though there was an undeniable authority in his gaze.
His eyes swept over everyone present; those disciples and elders who had once doubted him now lowered their heads involuntarily, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Are you... alright?" Bai Yunzi approached to help Li Muqing up but found his breath weak; it was clear he was gravely injured.
"Thanks to the Heavenly Axe, I comprehended new power in my moment of despair," Meng Hao said lightly.
His gaze fell back on Li Muqing with a hint of coldness: "Master, Li Muqing set a trap to imprison disciples and intended to harm me; his heart is deserving of punishment!"
At these words, an uproar erupted within the hall. Many disciples showed expressions of disbelief; their most respected Brother Li had actually done such a thing?
"This is impossible! How could Brother Li do this!"
“Meng Hao, don’t slander me!”
Some of Li Muqing's supporters couldn't help but shout.
Meng Hao let out a cold laugh, ignoring the clamoring disciples and instead directing his gaze towards Bai Yunzi.
“Master, when I was trapped in the secret chamber, I heard Li Muqing talking to himself, admitting that he was the one behind this,” Meng Hao's voice was not loud, but it clearly echoed throughout the entire hall.
Bai Yunzi's expression darkened; he was well aware of Li Muqing's ambitions but had not expected him to be so bold. After pondering for a moment, he cast a sharp glance over all the disciples and elders present in the hall.
“Today’s matter is of great importance. Whether what Meng Hao says is true or not, I will investigate!” Bai Yunzi’s voice carried an undeniable authority. “Someone, take Li Muqing down and keep a close watch on him!”
Several disciples stepped forward in response, carefully lifting Li Muqing away.
The atmosphere in the hall remained tense.
Meng Hao’s gaze swept across everyone present. He understood that Li Muqing's influence within Kongtong Sect was deeply rooted, and completely eliminating it would not be an easy task.
Just then, a clear voice broke the silence.
“Meng Hao, you’re alright! That’s wonderful!” Sun Ruoshui hurried over with a medicine box in hand.
Her figure was well-proportioned, and her alluring curves were subtly visible beneath her thin clothing; her almond-shaped eyes were filled with both concern and joy at that moment.
Her gaze fell on Meng Hao as she looked him up and down, seemingly trying to confirm whether he had been injured.
“I’m fine,” Meng Hao replied, feeling a warmth surge in his heart as he looked at Sun Ruoshui. He knew that in this complicated Kongtong Sect, she was one of the few who genuinely cared for him.
“Your complexion looks a bit pale; is there still poison lingering in your body?” Sun Ruoshui furrowed her delicate brows and gently placed her slender fingers on Meng Hao’s wrist.
Her fingertips were cool, carrying a hint of herbal fragrance.
Meng Hao felt a slight tingle, his heart fluttering with an unfamiliar sensation. He instinctively wanted to grasp her hand but restrained himself just in time.
“I feel much better; the power of the Golden Arm has expelled most of the poison,” Meng Hao said softly.
Sun Ruoshui sighed with relief but then revealed a worried expression again: “Even so, this potent poison still needs to be thoroughly cleansed. Let me check your pulse to see if there are any remnants.”
She moved closer, her faint fragrance wafting into Meng Hao’s nostrils, stirring his thoughts.
Meng Hao gazed at her serious profile and couldn’t help but reach out to gently pinch her cheek.
Sun Ruoshui was taken aback for a moment before her cheeks flushed slightly red; she shot Meng Hao an annoyed glare: “Meng Hao, what are you doing?”
“Ahem!” Bai Yunzi coughed lightly from the side, prompting Sun Ruoshui to realize her lapse in composure and quickly retract her hand, her face as red as a ripe apple.
Meng Hao paid no mind to this; he looked at Bai Yunzi with a glimmer of determination in his eyes.
“Master, Li Muqing harbors malicious intentions and dares to harm his fellow disciples; if we do not punish him severely, it will be hard to quell the unrest!” Meng Hao said solemnly.
Bai Yunzi furrowed his brow tightly; he knew Meng Hao spoke the truth. Li Muqing’s actions today had already violated sect rules. However, Li Muqing was someone he valued as a disciple and held considerable prestige within the sect.
Just as Bai Yunzi hesitated, Meng Hao suddenly stepped forward, his aura erupting dramatically.
Golden light once again burst forth from his Golden Arm, and a powerful sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire hall.
"Master, to hesitate is to invite chaos!" Meng Hao's voice resonated like a great bell, echoing throughout the hall. He knew that this was the best opportunity to solidify his position and take control of the Kongtong Sect.
Bai Yunzi looked at Meng Hao's determined gaze, feeling the immense aura radiating from him, and his heart trembled. He realized that the young man before him was no longer the simple woodcutter he once was. He had acquired the power and ambition to control everything!
"Good!" Bai Yunzi slammed his hand on the armrest, a glint of resolve flashing in his eyes. "Meng Hao, you are right! I will establish a rule today: from now on, anyone in Kongtong Sect who dares to harm their fellow disciples will be expelled from the sect and never accepted again!"
His gaze swept across everyone present, his voice authoritative and firm: "As for the matter of Li Muqing, I will handle it fairly!"
A barely perceptible smile tugged at the corners of Meng Hao's mouth. He knew that Bai Yunzi had made his choice. This choice was undoubtedly the greatest support for him.
"Meng Hao, although your skills are remarkable, you are still young," Bai Yunzi said, looking at Meng Hao with a complex expression. "The future of Kongtong Sect needs more young people like you to protect it. From today onward, you shall be the Guardian Elder of Kongtong Sect, overseeing punishments and all matters of sect rules; all decisions will be made by you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall erupted in commotion once more.
Guardian Elder! This was a position second only to the Master within Kongtong Sect! Many elders displayed shock; they had not expected Bai Yunzi to grant such significant power to Meng Hao.
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Meng Hao's eyes. He understood that this meant he had successfully taken the first step toward controlling Kongtong Sect!
"Thank you, Master!" Meng Hao said with cupped hands, his tone laced with barely concealed excitement. He glanced at the unconscious Li Muqing and sneered inwardly.
Li Muqing, did you think this would be enough to defeat me? I will make you understand the consequences of provoking my wrath!
At that moment, a sudden uproar erupted outside the hall.
"Report! Master! Something terrible has happened!" A disciple rushed into the hall, tumbling over himself in panic. "The Iron Hammer Sect... The Iron Hammer Sect has come knocking!"
