Chapter 205 The Bond with Xie Sixing

As the shadow sank to the bottom of the sea, the surface of the ocean seemed to boil, and a pool of sewage spread out beneath it.

Once the seawater carried away the last vestiges of darkness, the place returned to its original state.

Surrounded by ethereal beauty, it resembles a fairyland on earth.

The rising water vapor transforms into layers of clouds, enveloping the entire island, truly living up to its name, Twilight Cloud Island.

As Ye Li gazed at the island enveloped in spiritual energy, a scene flashed before her eyes.

Xie Sixing sat in the clouds, resting his knees on his hands, in a casual posture.

In front of him was a woman, who was talking to him.

The woman was dressed in red, her long hair was tied up with a gold hairpin, and her appearance was exactly the same as hers!

To Ye Li's astonishment, the woman rolled up her sleeves and offered her arm to Xie Sixing.

Xie Sixing smiled slightly and took her wrist.

The next second, the surrounding spiritual energy trembled, and a bluish-purple light flashed around the two of them.

Xie Sixing released his grip, as if he had said something.

The woman only looked at her arm and did not answer.

Ye Li strained to see, and there it was... the moon's mark!

She suddenly realized.

This wasn't the first time she and Xie Sixing had formed a pact!

Even Li Yuehua's mark came from this woman in red.

Before Li Yuehua, who was she?

Who exactly is she?

After the island reversed, the disciples regained their senses, and Elder Ge and Nie Hongye, who had been missing, also reappeared.

According to Elder Ge afterward, he and Nie Hongye also saw the treasure site, but after entering, they lost their senses, and when they woke up, they were embedded in the wall.

It was Nie Hongye who dug it out for Elder Ge.

After such a major incident, Elder Ge led his disciples back to the Tianmen Sect day and night.

As everyone dispersed, Elder Ge called out to Ye Li.

"Alas, this matter is of great importance. Let's go and report this to the Grand Elder now."

"Sect Leader Feng? Did you hear that?"

Upon hearing Elder Ge's address, Ye Li realized that she had changed her identity.

Ye Li nodded, her voice identical to Feng Jingxuan's.

"Elder Ge, please."

The reason she was able to impersonate Xie Sixing so convincingly was thanks to the consistent use of the pills.

It tastes terrible, but it works.

So much so that Elder Ge was completely unaware, and flew with her towards the summit of Tianmen Mountain.

...

Above the main hall of Tianmen Sect.

The Grand Elder had been waiting for a long time. After hearing Elder Ge's report, she gritted her teeth and said, "Such evil magic actually exists in the world! It has even caused the deaths of so many of my disciples!"

"Guards! Arrest all those disciples who are under the control of evil magic!"

After the disciple left to carry out the order, Elder Ge sighed, "The key issue now is that, apart from Cao Yong'an's group of disciples undergoing the trial, there may be many other evil spirits that we are unaware of that have already infiltrated our Tianmen Sect. If we don't capture them all, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."

"Elder Ge is right!"

The First Elder's eyes blazed with fury, his tone urgent and resentful, "Not only the disciples, but even Chu Wei, as the sect master of Kongshan, actually associated with evil spirits and even murdered Tian Shu Ling Zun. It's truly chilling!"

Upon hearing Chu Wei's name, Ye Li looked up at the Grand Elder, her gaze scrutinizing him.

Mu Chen said that Chu Wei was captured by the Grand Elder, so the Grand Elder is also a suspect.

She was currently using Feng Jingxuan's body, and before confirming whether the two were colluding, she dared not ask rashly.

Fortunately, Elder Ge had just returned to the Heavenly Gate Sect and had only just heard about this. He exclaimed in surprise, "What? Chu Wei colluded with evil spirits?"

The Grand Elder nodded solemnly, "Yes."

As Ye Li was listening, she saw the Grand Elder look at her and say, "Fortunately, Jing Xuan discovered the evidence and handed it over to me, otherwise such a cancer would have remained in the Tianmen Sect."

“Jingxuan, repeat what you said that day.”

"Cough cough-"

Ye Li choked.

She had no idea what evidence there was, but from the indignant tone of the Grand Elder, she vaguely felt that the Grand Elder and Feng Jingxuan were not in cahoots, but rather that the Grand Elder had been bewitched by Feng Jingxuan.

She coughed lightly and said, "After going to Twilight Cloud Island this time, I feel that the evidence at the time is still... questionable. As the sect leader, Chu Wei should be more cautious in convicting him."

"With such conclusive evidence, how much more cautious can we be!"

The First Elder blurted out, "The marks on Tian Shu Ling Zun's body clearly show that he died from the Xiao Yao Fa! This kind of technique, apart from Yue Hua, only her disciple Chu Wei knows how to use!"

From her angry words, Ye Li learned that just before they set off, Feng Jingxuan had discovered the Free and Unfettered Dharma Mark on Tian Shu Ling Zun's body while worshipping him.

When the Grand Elder learned of this, he went to Kongshan Gate to investigate. Not only did he find the clay figurine in Chu Wei's room, but he also found the tortoise shell used by the Heavenly Pivot Spirit Venerable on his body.

With both witnesses and physical evidence in hand, Chu Wei was imprisoned and would be sent to the Nine Nether Platform for execution in three days.

Hearing this, Ye Li's heart tightened.

Jiuyou Terrace is the very place where Li Yuehua died.

She advised against it, saying, "Isn't this too hasty? What if someone else also cultivates the Free and Unfettered Technique, or what if the mark is fake?"

The First Elder glanced at him and said, "I think you're only interested in flirting and can't remember anything useful. That carefree technique was created by Yuehua herself, and she and Chu Wei were the only others who passed it on. Besides, I personally examined that mark; it's not a new wound, but an old wound from hundreds of years ago! How could you fake it?"

The Grand Elder showed no mercy in scolding his disciple.

Ye Li knew that asking any more questions would give her away, so she could only remain silent.

But if what the Grand Elder said is true, then the one who killed the Heavenly Pivot Spirit Venerable was really Chu Wei?

Perhaps only by meeting Chu Wei will we know what exactly happened.

Ordination Hall

Unlike prisons in the mortal world, the prisons in the Discipline Hall not only imprison the body, but also suppress a person's spiritual power.

Some of those with high cultivation levels have runes on their cages, just like Li Yuehua back then, who was even bound by chains.

Ye Li walked through the dark corridor, her gaze fixed on one of the cages.

Chu Wei was wearing a black single garment. Although he was in distress, he looked very calm and did not look like someone who was about to be tortured.

Those prison pillars were sealed with talismans, which Ye Li could not break through even in her soul form.

Seeing that no one was around, she lowered her voice and called out to Chu Wei.

"Sect Leader Chu."

Chu Wei opened his eyes, as if he were in a meditative state.

"It's me, Ye Li, I'm back."

Hearing her lowered voice, a faint smile flickered across Chu Wei's cold and stern face.

"I'm sorry, I broke my promise to go to Twilight Cloud Island together."

What time is it? Ye Li didn't care about those things. She said impatiently, "None of that matters. What matters is what happened. How could Tian Shu Ling Zun be killed by Xiao Yao Fa? Wasn't it Feng Jing Xuan who killed him?"
