"Spare him? Then what about our deceased disciples?" questioned the elders of the various Sects.

At this moment, Lin Yifan defiantly retorted, "They brought it upon themselves, they cannot live."

"What did you say? Do you have the guts to say it again?"

The elders of the various Sects were fuming with rage, they had already said this no less than three times and were truly at the brink of their patience. If Lin Yifan challenged their limits again, they might really ignore everything.

"Say it again, so what? It was..."

Lin Yifan was about to speak when the Medicine Saint interrupted him.

"Alright! Stop arguing, my dear old friends, what must be done to spare my beloved disciple?"

Until absolutely necessary, the Medicine Saint didn't want to fall out with the entire Central Plains Cultivation World; so if things could be salvaged, he would try his best to do so.

"Unless he ends it himself, otherwise, it will be difficult to alleviate the hatred in our hearts," replied the elders of the various Sects.

"Dream on!" Lin Yifan spat, expressing his anger.

"You..."

The elders of the various Sects clenched their fists, their faces turning purple with anger.

If it weren't for the presence of the Medicine Saint suppressing them, they really might ignore everything and rush over to slaughter this bastard Lin Yifan.

"Besides this condition, is there any other condition?" the Medicine Saint calmly inquired.

The elders of the various Sects could see the Medicine Saint's intent now, today the Medicine Saint was determined to protect his disciple, even at the cost of falling out with them.

Before that Alchemy organization could grow stronger, they still needed the support of the Medicine Saint Valley, so after pondering, they decided to step back a little: "Let him abolish his own cultivation, then hand over all the treasures he seized."

"Wishful thinking, my cultivation is under my control, it's not up to you to dictate it. Besides, my treasures were obtained through my own strength, there's simply no question of robbery."

At this moment, a disciple from the Songshan Sect couldn't stand it anymore and retorted, "You still say you didn't rob? That expert's Cave Mansion was clearly discovered by us first, and yet you snatched the most valuable things inside, totally disrespecting our Songshan Sect."

"This little monk, can you speak the whole truth? If it weren't for me, could you have even entered that expert's Cave Mansion? Moreover, before breaking the Array, I clearly told you that the treasures inside would belong to whoever got them first, and you agreed; now, with poor luck and no treasure, who can you blame?"

"You... you just stole our things." The Divinity Transformation Realm disciple from the Songshan Sect was left speechless and could only accuse in a fit of rage.

"Does someone like you even deserve to be a monk? If you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for you!"

Lin Yifan loudly rebuked, full of disdain.

At this moment, the monk Huaide realized he might have misunderstood Lin Yifan, so he called for his prized disciple Qingde and asked about the situation, "Was this the case back then?"

"No... no." Monk Qingde replied hesitantly.

This was because he was simultaneously bearing the torment of his conscience and trying to maintain this enormous lie, a quite conflicted state of mind.

"If not, how could I have snatched a treasure from the hands of your Songshan Sect disciples, are your Songshan Sect disciples really that incompetent?" Lin Yifan coldly laughed and questioned.

Actually, Monk Qingde's performance clearly showed his guilty conscience, anyone with a basic sense could see it.

"You... your Qinggong is particularly fast, we couldn't stop you!"

Monk Qingde managed to give a barely passable excuse.

"Stop making excuses for your own incompetence and stop hiding your hypocrisy, it's really disgusting to watch."

The truth was already clear, a person with confidence would never be flustered, only those with a guilty conscience would behave this way. If the monk Huaide continued to protect his Sect's disciples as always, he would also have nothing to say.

Monk Huaide was certainly not stupid, otherwise, he wouldn't personally interrogate his own disciple. Besides, he was truly an enlightened monk, so he would not allow his Sect's disciples to have such a malicious heart, and thus he questioned severely once more, "Qingde! What is the truth? Have you forgotten the teachings of the Songshan Sect? Have you forgotten the vow you made to Buddha when you first entered?"

"Master, I... I..."

Monk Qingde wanted to argue, but he couldn't bring himself to, and his heart was in extreme torment.

"What? When did you become a devil of Hell? When did your heart become so evil? Is this still the former you, the kind monk who wouldn't even crush an ant?"

Under a string of disappointed, heart-wrenching questions from his master, Monk Qingde completely broke down, kneeling on the ground with a thud, confessing, "Master, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was ensnared by the demon of greed, betraying the Sect's teachings, I deserve a thousand deaths, I deserve a thousand deaths!"

"Amitabha, sinful! Sinful!" Monk Huaide sighed repeatedly, realizing they had misunderstood Lin Yifan.

Today he's made a great fool of himself, afraid he'll never have the face to meet anyone again in the future.

He turned to face Lin Yifan and sincerely apologized, "Lin Benefactor, I offended you earlier, please forgive me."

"No need for forgiveness, I only want them to clear my name!" Lin Yifan replied.

After such a long verbal battle, finally finding a breakthrough was really not easy.

"Wicked disciple! Quickly reveal the truth, the whole affair without any omissions?"

"The monk Qingde, can't say a word."

"Indeed, can't say!"

The nearby disciples from the various Sects whispered amongst themselves, pleading with Monk Qingde not to panic.

And the Songshan Sect disciples echoed, "Senior brother, don't say it!"

They knew they had committed an unforgivable crime, so they didn't want to be disgraced and tarnish the Sect's reputation at this critical moment.

"Shut up, aren't you embarrassed enough? Go back and get thrown into the discipline monastery for punishment."

Monk Huaide truly couldn't suppress his anger, these disciples really disappointed him too much.

Struggling for a long time, Monk Qingde finally couldn't resist the good in his heart and spilled the entire affair without any omission.

His misdeeds had already been exposed and couldn't be hidden anymore, so he could only choose to face it sincerely, perhaps this way, he could start anew.

"Everything was planned by us, all due to our greed possessing our hearts. Lin Benefactor did not kill the ten major Sect members, at least, we currently have no evidence to prove it. The second matter was out of our envy, and we pursued Lin Benefactor's five people, forcing Lin Benefactor's five people into a desperate counterattack, resulting in the death of our allies. The third matter was as Lin Benefactor said, it was all pre-discussed, and it was our own envy, too self-deceptive!"
