ps: This chapter is an additional update for the patron 'Book♀LittleDope'.

...

Not long after Mo Ao left, Cheng Wei arrived first, followed by Yang Fan, Old Cao, Daoist Zhang, Grandma Snake, and others. Behind them was a group of discipline committee members led by an elderly man.

"Kid, are you okay!" Cheng Wei decisively abandoned the pursuit of Mo Ao and immediately came to Li Mang's side to inquire. He quickly saw the palm print on Li Mang's chest, and his gaze became serious.

"Cough, cough... Can I be fine when I'm about to die!" Li Mang wasn't just talking; he was now finding it increasingly difficult to breathe.

"Stone, take Li Mang back to the Ghost Doctor for treatment first!" At this moment, Yang Fan instructed Stone, who was standing beside him.

"..." Stone's gaze turned cold, and he was about to step forward with a few others.

"Wait!" Li Mang hurriedly stopped him, but seeing that Stone pretended not to notice, he could only shout with all his remaining strength: "Yang Fan is actually the spy of Chiyou. He wants to kill me to silence me!"

"..."

When Li Mang said this, the surroundings fell into a dead silence. If it were before, everyone would have thought Li Mang was framing him to escape punishment. But in the current situation, it made people doubt and believe him.

"..." Yang Fan adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, his face calm, but he seemed helpless, as if he was being framed by Li Mang.

"Li Mang, the organization will investigate the matter. For now, you should go back with us to receive treatment from the Ghost Doctor!" Stone deliberately downplayed Li Mang's words and continued to approach.

"If you take me back, I'll die halfway!" Li Mang tried his best to stop him.

"Stone, you stop!" Cheng Wei finally stepped in to block Stone, who seemed to ignore him, and turned to Yang Fan to ask, "Previously, you said Li Mang was a member of Chiyou. But now Li Mang is being pursued by Chiyou's people. Why is that?"

"Brother Cheng, I only said I suspected him, and I never concluded that Li Mang was a member of Chiyou," Yang Fan corrected sternly.

"This could also be a feigned injury tactic. Otherwise, why would Chiyou's people be lying in wait here in advance?" Stone was more direct.

"Feigned injury? Do you know what palm Li Mang was hit with? This is the Withering Palm, known only to Chiyou's elite. Those hit by this palm will have their heart meridians wither within a day. Without precious medicinal herbs for treatment, even the Ghost Doctor would be helpless. Is this called a feigned injury?" Cheng Wei asked coldly.

"..."

This not only shocked the people around, but even Li Mang, lying on the ground, couldn't accept it. His already pale face lost even more color. Only one day? This was a dangerous signal, and currently, there was no plan for his treatment.

"That's right. This is indeed the Withering Palm." The elderly man from the discipline committee confirmed, then asked Li Mang seriously, "Young man, do you have any evidence that Yang Fan is a spy of Chiyou?"

"Yes!" Li Mang's tone was very firm.

"..." Yang Fan adjusted his black-rimmed glasses. Although he remained calm on the surface, he was beginning to feel uneasy. At this moment, he regretted not dealing with Li Mang himself. His caution led him to have Stone kill Li Mang, but this caution had pushed him to the edge of a cliff.

"Oh?" The elderly man glanced at Yang Fan and asked, "What evidence?"

"The evidence is..."

"Swish!" Before Li Mang could finish speaking, the previously calm Stone suddenly attacked. A dagger flew from his hand, aiming for Li Mang's chest.

"Clang!"

However, the dagger was quickly kicked away by Cheng Wei. Stone's attempt to kill in front of him was like showing off a big knife in front of Guan Yu, a clear overestimation of his own abilities.

"Stone, how dare you!" Daoist Zhang and others shouted in unison.

"Humph!" Stone said nothing but continued to lunge at Li Mang. Li Mang must die; otherwise, Yang Fan would be doomed.

In fact, Stone knew that his actions would lead to his own death, but his life was saved by Yang Fan. Even if he knew he would die, he had to do this.

"Bang!"

But just as Stone moved, he was kicked flying, crashing into several pine trees. Blood gushed from his mouth, and the bones in his chest were a mangled mess, indistinguishable from flesh, like a pile of mud.

"Li Mang, I now understand that it was Stone who misled me all along. I apologize to you." Speaking was Yang Fan, who had also kicked Stone away. He bowed deeply to Li Mang, showing his sincerity.

The scene was silent, and everyone was stunned by this dramatic turn of events. Their minds couldn't process what was happening, as if they were in a dream.

Even Stone, who was still struggling on the ground, heard Yang Fan's words. He was curious about who had kicked him so hard, but he finally understood that the one who killed him was Yang Fan.

"Spit..." Stone spat out all the blood accumulated in his throat, then closed his eyes and died on the spot. However, he was not in pain or regret. His face was filled with a sense of satisfaction and relief.

Stone's personality had always been quiet, not just because of his tragic past, but also because many of the things he had to do were against his will. His inner suppression gradually made him introverted and reserved.

Now, death was the greatest relief for him. Being killed by Yang Fan, though unbelievable even to himself, was a perfect ending for him. In the afterlife, he would have no regrets, having repaid Yang Fan's kindness with his life, even with interest. In the next life, he would owe no one.

"Yang Fan, don't think that killing Stone will clear your name. I recorded everything you said in the courtyard. You are the spy of Chiyou hidden in the Yanhuang Academy, code-named Inner Eagle. You are a complete hypocrite! Stone was willing to die for you, and you killed him with your own hands. You are a beast, worse than a beast!"

Li Mang, as if coming back to life, sat up from the ground, pointing at Yang Fan with a trembling hand, and unleashed a tirade of insults with all his strength, his voice full of anger and excitement. But after saying all this, he had to fall back to the ground, his breath shallow and his face as pale as paper, both from the strain and from his anger at Yang Fan's despicable actions.

"Surround Yang Fan!"

The elderly man from the discipline committee coldly ordered, and a dozen people surrounded Yang Fan, their eyes cold. But everyone was shocked, perhaps not expecting that the usually gentle Yang Fan could have such a side.

Moreover, he was a spy of Chiyou hidden in the Yanhuang Academy.

This was simply unbelievable, and everyone found it hard to accept this news. But as the facts became clearer, they had to doubt it.

"No! I am not a member of Chiyou, and I am not Inner Eagle!" Yang Fan circled around, desperately trying to explain to everyone. But the more he did so, the more people doubted him. If Yang Fan were not guilty, he would calmly adjust his glasses and explain to everyone.

Perhaps realizing this, Yang Fan changed his approach and quickly said, "Yes, I killed Gan Fenghua! I also killed Xiao Yan, but I am not a spy of Chiyou. I am just..."

"Seize him!" The elderly man's gaze turned cold, and he impatiently issued the arrest order. As he spoke, more than ten people rushed at Yang Fan, preventing him from finishing his sentence.

"I am not Inner Eagle!" Yang Fan shouted at the top of his lungs, but he was not willing to be captured. Seeing the discipline committee members about to arrest him, he resisted fiercely.

The clash between the strong quickly spiraled out of control, the battlefield expanding, and the destruction increasing! Li Mang was carried away by Cheng Wei and the others, otherwise, he would have been caught in the crossfire again. He was now down to his last breath and could not withstand any more impact, or he might really die.

"Bang!" "Boom!"

Yang Fan was very strong, really very strong. He had even hidden much of his strength, and now, fully unleashed, he was difficult for a dozen discipline committee members to handle, the battle scene shocking.

However, when the elderly man from the discipline committee joined the fight, the battlefield quickly calmed down. With just one palm, Yang Fan was sent flying like a kite.

"Humph!" The elderly man coldly snorted, snatched a long sword from a subordinate, and shot it at Yang Fan, accurately pinning him to the ground, the sword piercing through his body, leaving a trail of blood.

"Bang!"

Yang Fan fell heavily to the ground, struggling to stand, but ultimately failed. But he was not willing to die like this. He felt he needed to say something before he died, so he struggled to speak: "I... I am not Inner Eagle..."

Yang Fan's words were cut short, and he collapsed on the ground, never to move again. The chaos at the scene left everyone silent, and the pine forest was filled with a desolate wind, adding to the tragic atmosphere of the ending.
