In his previous life, Chi Yuan died a tragic death.

In this life, Chi Yuan did not lack the desire for revenge, but revenge was simply too difficult for him.

His enemies are not just Ye Chen, but also Pei Qingyun, a mountain he cannot overcome.

Even his master and seven junior sisters could become his enemies.

Whether they become enemies or not is not important. What is most important is Pei Qingyun, a powerful Spirit Venerable. For the sake of Ye Chen's growth, she will never allow him to grow to an uncontrollable level.

It's safe to say that he has virtually no chance of getting revenge.

Chi Yuan felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Even though he had been reborn, he still had to face the darkness and despair of his past life...

"Unless I can transfer to the ancestor or sect leader of another peak, my only option is to leave the sect and sever all ties with Tianyue Peak from now on."

"No matter which choice I make, I cannot admit to the crime of deliberately disrespecting my junior sister. After all, the Divine Firmament Sect is a righteous sect that values ​​its reputation. Those powerful figures who are high and mighty will not be willing to accept someone with a tarnished reputation."

"Besides, it's not certain that any sect will accept me. I must be prepared to leave the sect today. And if I want to leave the sect, I can't admit to this crime. Otherwise, no matter what reason I leave in the future, that old hag can kill me under the pretext of cleaning up the sect."

"This trial is my only chance to escape that old hag's clutches, and I must seize it!"

With this in mind, Chi Yuan made a firm decision.

In his previous life, he confessed to the crime for some inexplicable reason, but in this life, even if it kills him, he must never confess again!

"Chi Yuan, I ask you this: did you harbor any blasphemous intentions and deliberately disrespect your junior sister? Confess the truth!"

Just then, an old and majestic voice rang out. It was Pei Qingyun, the patriarch of Tianyue Peak, who was sitting on the right side of the head seat. His tone was unquestionable.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan felt a wave of confusion wash over him, as if a demonic voice had entered his ears, instantly disrupting his thoughts. At the same time, it was as if a devilish voice echoed in his mind, urging him to honestly confess his crime.

"That old hag..."

Chi Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and almost instantly broke free from the spell. He was secretly terrified. In his previous life, he had fallen into the same trap and confessed his sins in a daze. Fortunately, he had taken precautions in this life, and the rebirth seemed to have strengthened his soul power, which allowed him to escape in time and avoid falling into that old hag's trap again.

"I don't!"

Chi Yuan raised his eyes and stared intently at Pei Qingyun, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"You unfilial disciple, the evidence is right in front of you, yet you still dare to deny it in front of your grandmaster?!"

With a face as cold as ice from the depths of hell, Rong Qingxian rebuked him.

In her hand she held a jade bottle, the very same bottle of Divine Incense that Chi Yuan had brought into the Crimson Ancient Plains.

The Divine Incense Jade Liquid in the jade bottle wasn't consumed in large quantities, and the amount consumed was absolutely insufficient to cause a Spirit King-level spiritual cultivator to lose their mind, even if Chi Yuan suppressed his cultivation when entering the Crimson Ancient Plain.

Therefore, in her view, Chi Yuan was going against his conscience and refusing to admit it, daring to do it but not daring to take responsibility.

"Senior Brother Chi, things have come to this point, and the evidence is irrefutable. Do you still intend to deny it?"

Fifth Junior Sister Leng Feiruo's pretty face was cold and aloof as she looked at Chi Yuan with a strange and indifferent gaze: "I once thought you were a virtuous and upright gentleman, but it turns out that the real you is nothing more than a coward who dares to do things but not to admit them!"

Sixth Junior Sister Yue Qianrou also said coldly, "Senior Brother Chi, you used to teach us to be sincere and responsible, but where has your sincerity and responsibility gone? Do you still have any semblance of being the eldest senior brother?"

"Hmph, if you didn't intentionally harass your junior sister, then how do you explain that you only used a small amount of the Divine Incense? Don't tell me that with your Spirit King level divine soul power, you can't resist the medicinal power of this little bit of Divine Incense."

Seventh Junior Sister Mu Lingyun snorted coldly, her pretty face full of doubt.

“These girls are right.”

Pei Qingyun spoke calmly, looking down at Chi Yuan, "My Shenxiao Sect is a righteous sect. How could we wrong a core disciple of the sect without evidence?"

"This matter is not that serious. As long as you admit your guilt and show a proper attitude, I can plead with the elders of law enforcement to help you get lenient treatment. But if you are stubborn and refuse to admit your mistakes, then don't blame me for punishing you severely!"

"You unfilial disciple, did you hear me? Even your master is willing to plead for you! Why don't you confess your sins now! If you continue to be so stubborn, even I, your master, cannot protect you!"

Rong Qingxian sternly admonished.

Why admit to a crime fabricated against you?

Chi Yuan remained calm and composed, bowing respectfully to the elder on the left at the head of the table. He said, "Elder, the harm I caused to my junior sister was my fault, but to say that I deliberately disrespected her is undoubtedly an unjust accusation! I never had such thoughts. I acted that way because I was out of my mind at the time, and it was not from my true intentions. I beg the elder to see the truth."

The elder of law enforcement frowned slightly. He knew Chi Yuan's character and personality quite well and didn't think Chi Yuan would do such a thing. But now there were witnesses and physical evidence. If Chi Yuan didn't deliberately flirt with others, how could he explain losing his mind?

Given the small amount Chi Yuan used, under normal circumstances, Chi Yuan should not have been deceived. Could it be that the effect of the Divine Incense was affected by the environment of the deep underground pool?

This question, however, is currently impossible to verify.

The Crimson Ancient Plains only opens once every ten years, and it is now closed. If you want to enter again, you will have to wait another ten years. There is no other way to enter.

After a moment's thought, the law enforcement elder decided to speak up for Chi Yuan, since Chi Yuan's character was beyond reproach, and what if he had really wronged an innocent person?
