Chapter 74: Abandoning the Rook to Save the King

"Master...Master, what's wrong?"

Looking at Jiang Qingyi, who was upholding justice for her family one moment but suddenly changed her expression the next, Master Lingzhi's voice became much weaker.

Hurt him?

At this moment, Master Lingzhi noticed the man that Luan Yu had been holding in his hand.

Originally, he thought he was just an ordinary disciple, but now, considering Luan Yu's sudden attack, he vaguely realized that something was wrong.

On the other hand, the real people from other islands were looking at each other in bewilderment.

Everyone knew that their leader had mood swings, but it was rare for him to get as angry as he was now.

What is even more unbelievable is that such a proud and powerful person like the other party would actually lose his composure like this for a man.

Could it be that even Master Jiang, who is high above and devoted to the great Dao, has been tempted by worldly desires like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world?

Lingye Zhenren also screamed in alarm: "Sect Master, I really didn't know anything about this. The disciples of Lingxia Island can all testify for me. I haven't stepped out of Lingye Island in the past few days. I have been practicing hard on the island."

Jiang Qingyi glanced at Master Lingye's face as if she was looking at a dead person, and then passed over Master Lingzhi who was beside him. Her deep gaze was chilling.

Lingzhi Zhenren swallowed his saliva and said in a dry voice: "Sect Master, there may really be some misunderstandings here."

Jiang Qingyi ignored him and appeared in front of Luan Yu in a flash.

And when her eyes noticed the deep wound on Xiao Jingsheng's chest that was so deep that the bone could be seen, her jade hands couldn't help but clenched secretly, and the coldness on her face made people feel uneasy.

"Leave it to me."

“Master…” Luan Yu called softly and handed the person over reluctantly.

As the energy slowly flowed into Xiao Jingsheng's body, Jiang Qingyi's eyes flickered and she looked at Luan Yu: "Which one did you give him?"

Luan Yu blushed and uttered a soft "hmm".

Tianxiang Guixi Pills can keep a person alive no matter how serious the injury is, and can even revive the dead.

This pill was also given to her by the other party when she became his disciple.

Once used, there will be no second one.

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyi simply stopped worrying about someone's injuries and said with her eyes slightly closed: "Tell me, what's the specific situation."

Luan Yu pointed coldly at Master Ling Ye who was standing below him and said, "It was him who bribed the Deputy Master of the Dan Palace, Tan Hongmian, and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"Long before this, this guy had already forged a grudge with the people of Lingxia Island. I even suspect that someone tampered with the roll call list for this Bohai battle, letting eight alchemy deacons go to the battlefield. This is to cut off the roots of my Piaomiao Sect!"

Seeing that Luan Yu had brought out all his old and new grudges, the expression on Ling Ye Zhenren's face also became interesting. He said stubbornly, "If Elder Yu Hulu wants to kill me, just say so. Why do you have to frame me? The personnel assignments for the Bohai War were approved by you personally. You can always find excuses to accuse me."

"You!" Luan Yu couldn't help but hold his breath after hearing this.

Although the list would indeed be in my hands in the end, I never cared about these trivial matters and handed it directly to Yu Yangzi.

But right now, I can't say this in public, otherwise I would be derelict in my duty.

Seeing Luan Yu's guilty look, Jiang Qingyi, who knew her character well, knew that this girl was being used as a pawn.

These people are too naive to think that they can get away with it just like this from Jiang Qingyi.

"Find that Tan Hongmian for me, and I'll know the answer after asking her." Jiang Qingyi said calmly.

"Yes, that's right. I will find him right away." Luan Yu's eyes lit up, and then he glared at Master Ling Ye with pride.

"Tan Hongmian and Xiao Jingsheng are both from the Dan Palace. They are birds of a feather. How can they testify for each other?"

Master Lingye's heart skipped a beat and he said with dissatisfaction.

"You're talking nonsense!" Luan Yu was also choked by the other party's shamelessness.

"According to you, everything was directed and acted by them, even Luan Yu, who risked her own death to frame you, Master Lingye?"

Jiang Qingyi glanced at the other person coldly.

"I didn't say that."

Master Lingye looked away humbly, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice: "I still say the same thing. If the Sect Master and Elder Yuhu want to take my life, you can just do it directly, but justice is in the hearts of the people!"

Jiang Qingyi suddenly laughed, a laugh that was creepy: "That's very simple. I will use the soul-searching technique on each of you one by one, and then publish the truth on the Sky-peeping Mirror, and the right and wrong will be clear at a glance."

"this……"

Ling Ye Zhenren suddenly felt like a duck with its neck stretched out, as if someone had grabbed its throat, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing the look on Ling Ye Zhenren's face, Ling Zhi Zhenren's heart began to hang in the air. But even if he was really wrong, he didn't want to spread the scandal. Otherwise, how would his Ling family convince the public in the future?

Lingzhi Zhenren immediately clasped his fists and said, "Sect Master, the soul-searching technique is too harmful to cultivators who have not yet achieved divine transformation. If the soul has not yet taken shape, forcing it to be performed may even risk leaving injuries that are difficult to repair for a lifetime."

The other island owners all looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this, as they knew what was going on at this moment.

For those who are strong in the Nascent Soul Realm, their Nascent Soul bodies are solid and they are already able to perform the Nascent Soul Out-of-Body Technique. However, they cannot leave the body for too long, so the danger of the soul-searching technique is almost negligible.

Obviously, the Ling family members felt guilty.

However, everyone present was from an aristocratic family and usually had frequent dealings with the Ling family, so it was not a good idea to add insult to injury and they could only pretend that they heard nothing.

"Am I discussing this with you?"

It was just a simple sentence, but it made the representatives of the noble families, including Master Lingzhi, feel a chill in their hearts.

Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was the arrogant Jiang Qingyi of their Piaomiao Sect. As the saying goes, a kind person cannot command an army. The other party was in charge of such a large sect, and his iron-blooded wrist over the years was the fundamental reason why he had been able to keep the sect firmly in his hands.

Now, the truth has begun to emerge, and his decisive character has been completely exposed.

Jiang Qingyi raised her hand indifferently, bent her fingers and sucked, and a terrifying suction force surged out from her palm.

Seeing this, Master Lingye was horrified. If his soul was searched, it would not only be the crime of harming his fellow disciples, but his own identity would be completely exposed.

"Master, please calm down. Ling Ye accepts the punishment!"

At this moment, Master Lingye chose to sacrifice his opponent without hesitation: "This matter was instigated by several of my disciples. Lingye was deceived and did such a foolish thing. Now I will give you an explanation."

The eldest disciple Situ Xian, who was hiding in Lingxia Island and secretly watching everything, was shocked. But before he could react, he felt a flash before his eyes and was caught in the hands of Master Lingye.

“Master!”

Situ Xian shouted loudly, not realizing that he was going to be the scapegoat.

But Master Lingye did not give him the slightest chance. He smashed his innate sense with one palm strike, and then he burst into tears and said, "Now that things have come to this, I know that I cannot escape the blame, and I will never cheat for personal gain. I am also willing to go to the Law Enforcement Hall to claim the blame."

Everyone who saw this scene could not help but admire this guy's ruthlessness.

Even though he was his direct disciple, he could do such a thing.

Luan Yu was caught off guard to see the other party become obedient so quickly. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He turned around and looked at his master.

Jiang Qingyi looked down at Xiao Jingsheng, whose body was stained with blood, and a hint of imperceptible coldness flashed in her eyes: "No need to go through so much trouble, I will do it myself."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Qingyi lightly tapped her jade fingers and the overwhelming spiritual pressure rolled towards the sky below.

Ling Ye Zhenren, who was the first to bear the brunt, turned pale: "Sect Master!!!"
