Qian Bingxue was taken aback by what she heard, and Liu Yansheng began to recount the events.

Ye Wenxin also recalled the dire situation she had witnessed. She had been chasing a giant python and inadvertently stumbled upon Zhao Teddy. It seemed the crisis on the mountain was far from over, and the path to restoring Asura Hall's former glory was going to be a long one.

"Though Xi Mengxuan is guilty, she also redeemed herself. To save me, she sacrificed her spirit beast to the python. While we at Asura Hall are not known for our righteousness, we should be fair in rewards and punishments. I beg the master to spare Xi Mengxuan and just expel her from the sect," Liu Yansheng earnestly pleaded. Although Ye Wenxin wasn't there, she could imagine the perilous situation. Facing such a giant python would have been daunting for just two people, and escaping with injuries and the loss of a spirit beast was fortunate.

"Expel the woman from the sect," the Hall Master decreed after hearing the account, disappearing as swiftly as she had appeared.

The group bowed to the now empty hall, accustomed to the Hall Master's mysterious comings and goings.

Senior Sister Qian Bingxue personally escorted Zhao Teddy away, while Fourth Sister Wang Million helped Xi Mengxuan pack her belongings.

"Another beauty leaving, such a pity," Liu Yansheng said, resuming her carefree demeanor, wrapping an arm around Ye Wenxin's shoulder. It was as if her earlier vulnerability in the forbidden mountain had been a mere illusion for Ye Wenxin.

"Third Sister, what do these so-called rules mean?" Ye Wenxin asked, pushing Liu Yansheng's arm away, curious about the sect's rules.

"You've been to the dungeon, right? You know it holds quite a few people," Liu Yansheng replied with a smile, though there was a cold undertone. Ye Wenxin nodded, vividly recalling the dungeon.

"Those people are all who harbored ill intentions toward Asura Hall, kept as furnaces. But furnaces are human too, with certain desires," Liu Yansheng explained vaguely, frustrating Ye Wenxin.

"Get to the point."

"According to the rules, those guilty beyond measure must take a Spring Pill and serve those furnaces..." Liu Yansheng chuckled darkly, while Ye Wenxin shivered, recalling the scene at the inn when she had given three men the Hehuan Powder, leading to quite the spectacle.

Thinking of the number of people in the dungeon, Zhao Teddy was likely to meet a similar fate. Even with his immortality, repeated encounters would take a mental toll.

"Why didn't I think of that? Fight evil with evil," Ye Wenxin mused, finding the method ingenious. She couldn't help but offer Liu Yansheng a bottle of Hehuan Powder, saying, "Third Sister, make sure he gets plenty. If you need more, let me know, and I'll send you a lot from the Cangyu Sect."

"Oh my, how could I refuse? But since you're so keen, I'll accept it," Liu Yansheng grinned like a fox, the two of them sharing a conspiratorial bond.

Though they were villains, they had their limits.

Perhaps it was because Ye Wenxin wasn't entirely bad that she couldn't inherit the Indestructible Vajra Body legacy. After discussing Zhao Teddy's fate, Liu Yansheng asked, "Are you planning to leave too?"
