Chapter 70: Winning People's Hearts "Palace Master Feng, shouldn't you...

"Palace Master Feng, shouldn't you take care of the people in your palace?" Pang Tian said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

Feng Nuo said coldly: "Why, Palace Master Pang can do it but won't allow others to say it?"

"you!"

"What's wrong with me? Palace Master Pang can't afford to offend Palace Master Xi, so he wants to cause trouble for my Tianxuan Palace. Do you really think I, Feng Nuo, have a good temper?!"

Pang Tian groaned and ignored him.

…

"Why is our Palace Master so angry?"

"You probably don't know this. The person Palace Master Pang chased away back then was our Palace Master's best friend. I heard he was later wiped out by foreigners."

…

An hour passed, and Bei Liyuan still hadn't arrived. Pang Tian stood up in anger and said, "Palace Master Xi, if Bei Liyuan never comes back, are we going to wait here forever?!"

Feng Nuo sneered, "Why, the rest of us can wait, but you, Palace Master Pang, can't? Could it be that you have something to hide and are afraid to wait?"

"What kind of evil could I possibly have? Palace Master Feng, watch your words!"

Feng Nuo picked up the teacup. "How would I know what's on your mind? But Palace Master Bei can't wait any longer than today. What's the harm in waiting a moment? Why is Palace Master Pang so impatient to convict Li Yuan? I just have a reasonable suspicion."

Xiao Jun looked at Li Youyang and said, "Palace Master Xi, waiting like this is really not a solution. Do you know where Palace Master Bei has gone? Can you contact him?"

"No need to bother. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Beiliyuan walked steadily forward.

Pang Tian asked coldly, "Has Lord Beigong found the so-called real murderer?"

Bei Liyuan walked to Li Youyang's side, picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp: "I'm really thirsty after traveling all the way. You have to reward me well tonight."

Li Youyang's ears blushed unnaturally: "Business is more important."

Bei Liyuan curled the corners of his lips: "I'm sorry to disappoint you all, I haven't found the real culprit yet."

Li Yuan clenched his fist silently. He must not implicate Lord Beigong.

The disciples of the Sky Dome Palace looked towards Bei Liyuan nervously and worriedly.

A sneer flashed across Pang Tian's eyes. "You all heard it. Bei Liyuan hasn't found any other murderers. The person who killed Deputy Palace Master Lei is Li Yuan. Bei Liyuan, you said before that if the other murderer can't be found, you will be punished together with Li Yuan. Does that still stand?"

Xiao Jun hurriedly said, "Palace Master Pang, Palace Master Bei was just joking before. There's no need to take it seriously."

Pang Tian said solemnly: "Human life is at stake, how can we treat it as a joke? Besides, everyone present is a witness..."

Bei Liyuan interrupted, "Palace Master Pang, there's no need to do this. Once a word is spoken, it can't be taken back. Since I said it, I will naturally do it."

Pang Tian laughed and said sinisterly, "Is that so! Then Lord Beigong will commit suicide and die!"

Bei Liyuan added: "I haven't lived long enough, so there's no need to kill myself."

Pang Tian said in a deep voice: "Master Beigong is trying to cheat and deny his identity!"

Bei Liyuan laughed: "Palace Master Pang, why are you so anxious? You should listen to me and finish what I have to say. I really haven't found the real murderer, that's because there is no real murderer in this case."

Everyone:!!!

Pang Tian sneered, "You mean Deputy Palace Master Lei used Li Yuan's sword to kill himself?! To exonerate Li Yuan, Palace Master Bei really did everything he could!"

"Indeed, this Deputy Palace Master Lei couldn't possibly be committing suicide! This time, I really can't support the Sky Palace anymore. This excuse is so weak and even a little stupid."

"Alas! It seems that Li Yuan is doomed today. He even treated me to a drink before!"

Bei Liyuan's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said playfully, "Palace Master Pang, are you brainless? Why would Palace Master Lei commit suicide for no reason, and use someone else's immortal sword to do it?"

Pang Tian was annoyed: "You were the one who said there was no murderer in this case."

"Yes, I said there was no murderer in this case, but I didn't say Palace Master Lei stabbed himself."

"you!"

Xiao Jun frowned: "Master Beigong, stop keeping us in suspense!"

Bei Liyuan: "Palace Master Lei, please come in."

After a sound, Lei Caijun walked in.

Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "Since Palace Master Lei is not dead, there is naturally no murderer."

Everyone was shocked.

"How is this possible?" Pang Tian said in a deep voice, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Lei Caijun sneered and knelt down. "Alliance leader, Pang Tian was jealous of Palace Master Xi's favor from you, so he wanted to drive her away like he drove away Chen Nian. So he captured my Taoist partner and forced me to frame Li Yuan. He made me take a fake death pill beforehand, but I didn't expect that after the plan was completed, he would actually kill my Taoist partner and even try to silence me. I only managed to escape death."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Lei Caijun took out the elixir and the token: "This is evidence. Also, Alliance Leader, you can use the soul search method on me. The truth will be revealed at a glance."

Xiao Jun looked at Pang Tian with cold eyes: "Palace Master Pang, is what Deputy Palace Master Lei said true?"

Pang Tian knelt down and said, "There is absolutely no such thing. Please investigate it clearly, leader."

Bei Liyuan said playfully, "Since both of them hold different opinions, we can search their souls and find out who is the truth."

Xiao Jun's eyes darkened. If he searched Pang Tian's soul, many of his past shameful deeds would be exposed to the public. "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Just search Deputy Palace Master Lei's soul. To be fair, I'll do it myself."

After saying that, Xiao Junxing walked to Lei Caijun's side and pointed his sword directly at his eyebrows. Suddenly, a scene appeared in the void, which was exactly the same as what Lei Caijun said.

Pang Tian was shocked. It was true that he used Lei Caijun to frame Li Yuan, but he killed Lei Caijun directly and never used coercion or instigation. He didn't even know who Lei Caijun's Taoist partner was. Moreover, the two of them had always had political disagreements and fought openly and secretly. He couldn't be stupid enough to cooperate with this person, but this soul-searching scene could not be faked.

"No... Impossible, I didn't do it, it was you! Bei Liyuan, it must have been you who did it."

Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "Palace Master Pang thinks too highly of me. Since Palace Master Pang doesn't recognize this result, I can just use the soul-searching technique on him again."

"I... I..." Pang Tian clenched his fists. He absolutely couldn't let anyone search his soul.

"No need, Palace Master Pang. You set up a vicious plot and harmed your allies. You truly deserve to be killed. However, considering your past contributions, I will spare your life. From now on, you will be expelled from the Heroic Alliance. You will take care of yourself."

Pang Tian looked at Xiao Jun in even greater shock: "Are you going to kick me out?"

"You've done all this, and you still think you can stay!"

Pang Tian suddenly laughed: "How dare you ask me to leave, Xiao Jun! Who am I doing this for?"

Xiao Jun's face darkened slightly: "It's because of your own greed."

"For my own greed! Ha... For my own greed, Xiao Jun, was there any sincerity in what you said to me before?"

Xiao Jun's face darkened: "I don't understand what you are saying."

Pang Tian smiled sadly: "I know you treated me like that just to use me, but I was willing to do it. Even if one of those words came from the heart, I would have no regrets. But you are far more ruthless than I imagined! Xiao Jun, you'd better not fall into my hands for the rest of your life, otherwise...ah!"

In an instant, Pang Tian turned into nothingness, and looked at Xiao Jun in disbelief before his death.

"What nonsense! Lei Caijun has been promoted to Palace Master of Tianshu Palace, and Zhang Wei to Deputy Palace Master. This farce ends here. Everyone, please leave."

"Oh! By the way, Li Yuan, you have been wronged this time. The alliance will give you 500 spirit stones as compensation."

Li Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, leader."

…

"Oh! Today was truly a great show!"

"Palace Master Pang...what did Pang Tian mean by those words before he died? Could it be that he really had something going on with the Alliance Leader?"

"How could the leader, Guangfeng Jiyue, have anything to do with him? Stop talking nonsense."

"It's hard to say. I think Pang Tian seemed to have been greatly stimulated before his death... Your circle is really chaotic, let's not talk about it anymore. But the Palace Master Xi of the Sky Palace is really impressive. He really goes all out when there is something going on!"

"Exactly. Protecting the monks in the palace without regard for the consequences is truly unique."

…

Back at the Sky Palace, all the monks knelt and said loudly: "We swear to follow the two Palace Masters until death."

Bei Liyuan smiled and said, "I understand. Get up."

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Bei Liyuan asked again: "Why are four or five hundred people waiting for the two of us to help them?"

Then everyone stood up.

Back in the room, Bei Liyuan poured Li Youyang a cup of tea and said, "This Pang Tian is really too impatient. Dealing with him is much easier than I thought."

Li Youyang raised his hand and grasped Bei Liyuan's wrist, probing into his spiritual energy: "Are you injured?"

Bei Liyuan hummed, "After all, we're fighting for souls with the Hades, so this little injury is good. Fortunately, Lei Caijun didn't die, otherwise he would be useless even if he entered the lower underworld."

Li Youyang moved his fingertips slightly, and spiritual energy was slowly injected into it, and Bei Liyuan's injuries gradually healed.

Bei Liyuan lowered his head suddenly: "Master, are you worried about me?"

Li Youyang's ears flushed as he said coldly, "No."

Bei Liyuan smiled and stood up straight: "Master really doesn't lie."

"No."

Bei Liyuan suddenly groaned, and Li Youyang was startled and asked hurriedly, "But is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Bei Liyuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, while Li Youyang frowned and turned his head to look aside.

How cute! Such a cute master is his! Bei Liyuan thought more and more about it, and then he leaned over slightly and sat directly in Li Youyang's arms, saying aggrievedly: "Master, I was really beaten hard by the Hades official today, it hurts a lot, can you please give me some pain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open and Ling Ye and Yu Chen walked in.

The moment the door opened, Li Youyang pushed the person away in panic. Bei Liyuan fell to the ground unexpectedly, looking at Li Youyang with resentment on his face.

Li Youyang coughed awkwardly twice: "You're walking too carelessly, why don't you get up quickly."

Bei Liyuan: ...

Li Youyang looked at the two again: "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Yu Chen said worriedly, "Xiao Jun is not a good person. He must be the one behind this. We came here to ask if you want to leave. I'm worried that he will attack you again."

Li Youyang said coldly, "It's okay."

…

Inside the study, Xiao Jun clenched his fists. Bei Liyuan! What a great Bei Liyuan! What a trick! He watched Lei Caijun die with his own eyes! Those calculated scenes couldn't be real, but Bei Liyuan was certain he wouldn't dare to search Pang Tian's soul!

With force exerted by his fingertips, the chess piece in his hand shattered. "What a pity for such an obedient chess piece! Bei Liyuan, we have a long way to go. I will make sure you perish and never be reincarnated."
