As for why he ran away instead of staying there to fight with the opponent, it was naturally because he knew that he was no match for the opponent in terms of cultivation.
After all, his current behavior is that of a first-level king. Just as Xue Wuhen said before, he may have the strength to fight against the Pink Prince, but facing the Seventh Elder, he has no other choice but to escape.
Confront it head on.
…
Not long after, dozens of miles away.
"Senior Brother Yin, do we really want to go back to Piaomiao Sect?"
Following Yin Zhiping, Lu Kai's face was filled with pain.
After escaping from danger, he and Yin Zhiping immediately separated from the Piaomiao Sect and came to me.
He originally thought that after Yin Zhiping's conspiracy was exposed, he would not dare to return to Piaomiao Sect.
Unexpectedly, Yin Zhiping just said that not only did they have to rush back to the Piaomiao Sect, but they also had to go back as quickly as possible, at least before Mu Si and others.
"Don't worry, as long as we go back early, I can turn right and wrong and reverse everything!"
Yin Zhiping's face was full of resentment, "I don't care how strong Ye Chen is or how many people support him, but don't forget, I have countless big shots in the Piaomiao Sect as my backers!"
"Besides..."
After a pause, he smiled coldly, "Ye Chen acted like a hero just now. He must be dead now. Even if Nangong Liuli knows what we have done, as long as we refuse to admit it, they can't do anything to us!
"
"Senior Brother Yin is still brilliant!"
After listening to Yin Zhiping's analysis, Lu Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as Ye Chen dies, others will have nothing to fear!"
While talking, the two of them walked for a while.
As a coincidence, they actually met several elders of the Piaomiao Sect.
"Senior Brother Yin, what should we do?"
When Lu Kai saw those elders just now, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Yin Zhiping was a little nervous at first, but after seeing the faces of the elders clearly, instead of flinching, he excitedly went forward and asked, "Uncle Fifth, why are you here?"
"Fifth Uncle?" Lu Kai was startled, then his surprise turned to joy.
Since one of the elders is Yin Zhiping's fifth uncle, things will be easier to handle.
"Zhiping, why are you here?"
The elder who was called Fifth Uncle by Yin Zhiping also looked over in surprise, "By the way, where are the others? Why aren't they with you?"
"this……"
Yin Zhiping rolled his eyes a few times and immediately said angrily: "Fifth uncle, elders, I want to tell you a huge secret!"
"What secret?" Several elders looked over at the same time.
"The thing is like this..."
Yin Zhiping immediately recounted what happened with grief and indignation.
As for what happened from his mouth, it completely changed.
Naturally, he didn't mention a word about his desire to assassinate Ye Chen and those shady things. Instead, he described himself as a victim.
For example, the reason why Ye Chen broke up with him and ran away was not because of him, but because of Ye Chen's cowardice.
Moreover, Ye Chen knew clearly that it was the Phantom Gate's conspiracy, but he didn't tell everyone. Instead, he hid it and watched everyone fall into the Eight Wilds Fire Formation.
As for the one who broke through the formation and saved everyone from the sea of fire, it was not Ye Chen, but himself.
After escaping from the sea of fire, he led everyone to break out of the siege, but Ye Chen suffered the consequences and was surrounded and killed by the Phantom Gate.
However, he and Lu Kai accidentally got separated from others on the way.
"Elders, I swear to God, every word of what I just said is true!"
After finishing speaking, Yin Zhiping added with grief and anger: "Ye Chen knew it was a plan, but he just watched everyone fall into danger. He has such sinister intentions and his heart is to be punished!"
Lu Kai, who was next to him, also hurriedly agreed: "Senior Brother Yin is right, that Ye Chen is really insidious!"
"If it is true as you said, Ye Chen knew it was a trap set by the Phantom Sect, but kept it from you, then it would be a shame for a person with such ulterior motives to die!"
After listening to Yin Zhiping's narration, one of the elders who hated evil said angrily.
Yin Zhiping smiled proudly and added: "By the way, elders, there is one more thing that I may need to explain to you in advance!"
"What's the matter?" Yin Zhiping's fifth uncle Yin Tu asked.
"It's like this. Although I saved everyone, because no one knew, everyone always mistakenly thought that it was that despicable villain Ye Chen who broke the formation and saved everyone from the sea of fire!"
"Forget it like this. The most unbearable thing for this disciple is that other people seem to have been brainwashed by Ye Chen, and they actually have many misunderstandings about me and put all the blame on me!"
Having said this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and showed a look of compassion, "But it doesn't matter. As long as everyone is safe, everyone's misunderstanding of me is not worth mentioning!"
He described himself as a victim in advance, so naturally he wanted to take the lead.
As long as he said this, even if Nangong Liuli and others returned to Piaomiao Sect to complain, these elders would only think that it was the result of excessive brainwashing by Ye Chen.
"Don't worry, Zhiping. Your innocence cannot be tarnished by anyone. When you return to Piaomiao Sect, we will definitely clear up your grievances and restore your innocence!" Yin Tu vowed.
"Hey, isn't that a member of our Piaomiao Sect?"
At this time, an elder pointed to the distance and said.
Looking around, I saw a group of people walking toward us in the distance.
Everyone was in a miserable state, and many of them even had blood stains on their bodies, looking as if they had experienced a tragic bloody battle.
Although these people did not wear Piaomiao Sect clothes, because they were led by several outer sect instructors, the elders present recognized them at a glance.
"It's Instructor Wen and the others!"
"Aren't they separated from you?"
"Why are you here again?"
After seeing who was coming, several elders immediately cast questioning glances at Yin Zhiping and Lu Kai.
But the expressions of Yin Zhiping and Lu Kai changed instantly.
Don't look at the lies they just told, which were so realistic that even I almost believed them, but after actually meeting Nangong Liuli and the others, they still felt somewhat guilty.
"Zhiping, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the strangeness between Yin Zhiping and Yin Tu, Yin Tu asked subconsciously.
"No, it's nothing!"
Yin Zhiping shook his head and suppressed his uneasiness. Before Wen Tongwen and others arrived, he complained again and said with a bitter smile: "Several elders, when they come over later, they will definitely continue to slander me and accuse me."
You have become the scum of Piaomiao Sect!"
"Don't worry Yin Zhiping, we won't let them mess around!" an elder comforted.
Another elder added: "No matter what they say, we will not believe it, and we will not let them hurt you!"
While they were talking, the people from the Piaomiao Sect, headed by Wen Tongwen, finally came closer.
