In the dim light, Ye Qingcheng also saw a man in white kneeling in the center of the square.
Ye Qingcheng quickly used her spiritual power to control the Heaven-Mending Moon God Mirror and zoom in on the "image".
The next second, Ye Qingcheng saw the man kneeling there.
It was Gu Jian!
The instant the truth was revealed, countless voices of condemnation and criticism emanated from the Moon Goddess Mirror.
"Sect Master, Gu Jian colluded with demons and murdered dozens of fellow disciples! His crimes are heinous and unforgivable. We beg you, Sect Master, to execute him!"
"If Gu Jian doesn't die, it's against all reason and justice; the souls of his deceased fellow disciples will never find peace."
"Please, Sect Master, uphold justice and do not dishearten your disciples!"
"Kill Gu Jian!"
"Kill the scum who associate with demons!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
"..."
The sounds came in waves.
Ye Qingcheng, in the Moon Goddess Mirror, is high above.
She sat regally on her throne, cold and indifferent, looking down at Gu Jian. "Gu Jian, do you know your mistake?!"
"This disciple has done nothing wrong. Please, Master, investigate thoroughly."
"You have clearly committed a heinous crime, yet you claim to be innocent?! In the audio-visual jade slip, wasn't it you who murdered your fellow disciples in front of demons? You clearly sided with demons, yet you still try to deny it?!"
The powerful aura pressed down on Gu Jian, making it hard for him to breathe.
At the same time, Ye Qingcheng in the picture has an additional audio-visual jade slip in her hand.
She pressed the audio-visual jade slip, and an image immediately appeared from it.
Among them was a man resembling Gu Jian, who was killing the elders and disciples of the Misty Sect one by one with his sword.
Inside the secret realm, Ye Qingcheng was shocked to witness all of this.
She recognized that the audio-visual jade slip contained information about the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
The surrounding architecture is exactly the same as that in Meidu.
Moreover, although the specific scenarios are different.
However, the way this man killed the elders and disciples of the Misty Sect was exactly the same as what he had seen in the City of Charm a few days ago.
Ye Qingcheng had witnessed it herself just two days ago.
She was certain that this was the person impersonating Gu Jian!
This is fake.
It was someone impersonating Gu Jian who murdered his fellow disciples from the Misty Sect.
But everyone seems to have mistaken him for Gu Jian.
Is someone slandering Gu Jian?
Realizing this, Ye Qingcheng became anxious.
She desperately wanted to tell the person in the mirror that this person was fake.
Gu Jian did not kill anyone.
But this happened in my past life.
The person inside the Moon Goddess Mirror couldn't hear anything and continued to verbally attack Gu Jian.
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng saw Gu Jian, who was kneeling on the ground, speak.
“Master, although that person looks very much like me, he is not me. I have never been to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, much less associated with demons.”
"Sect Master, he's lying. Someone saw him enter the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom! I have witnesses."
At this moment, an old woman spoke up; she was Xu Jianjun, the second elder of Misty Peak.
Gu Jian looked at her and said, "The so-called witness is nothing more than someone you bribed."
Xu Jianjun sneered, "Gu Jian, you actually doubt me? I am an upright person, how could I do such a thing? Today, I have no way to bribe this witness. She would never give false testimony to frame you."
"Gu Jian, the person hasn't even come up yet, and you're already saying you were bribed by me. Are you feeling guilty?"
Gu Jian, kneeling on the ground, frowned.
Sitting on the throne, Ye Qingcheng coldly said, "Bring the witnesses."
The witness was brought in quickly.
It's Aylward!
In the scene depicted by the Heaven-Mending Mirror, Ai Youwei was brought up.
Then, she publicly pointed at Gu Jian, "Senior Brother, don't lie to me. That day, I clearly saw you enter the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. I asked you what you were going to do. You said you were going to do something important, and you even told me to keep it a secret. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone."
"What did you say?"
In the scene, Gu Jian's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe that his third junior sister, Ai Youwei, whom he had treated with such care, would lie through her teeth and slander him.
His body began to tremble.
Ye Qingcheng, aloof and with an even colder expression, said, "Gu Jian, the evidence is right before your eyes. Do you have anything else to say?"
Gu Jian then turned to Ye Qingcheng and said, "Master, there is another person who can prove my innocence!"
Ye Qingcheng asked, "Who?"
Gu Jian spoke up, "Second Junior Sister Liu Ruyan, she can prove my innocence. Those days, I was in Junior Sister Ruyan's cave, helping her improve her array formation skills."
Ye Qingcheng coldly said, "Nonsense. Your second junior sister told me yesterday that she has been in seclusion for the past two days. How could she have invited you into her cave to study the Dao of Formations?"
"Gu Jian, stop lying, it's no use."
"Master, please contact Second Junior Sister. Junior Sister Ruyan..."
Gu Jian spoke, and as he finished speaking, he realized that his second junior sister had not gone into seclusion at all; she was standing right next to the main hall in the distance.
He called out to Liu Ruyan, but Liu Ruyan silently retreated into the main hall.
"..."
"Sect Master, the evidence is conclusive, kill him!"
"Sect Master, kill him!"
"Avenge the dead!"
"..."
"Gu Jian is a scoundrel."
"If Gu Jian does not die, my Misty Sect will never have a peaceful day."
"..."
Inside the secret realm, Ye Qingcheng cried, her face streaked with tears. "No, Jian'er didn't collude with demons. That wasn't Jian'er; someone harmed Jian'er!"
But no one heard Ye Qingcheng's voice.
In the scene, the sounds of condemnation, like ocean waves, engulfed Gu Jian.
After a long while, as Ye Qingcheng raised her hand on the throne, the sounds in the scene gradually quieted down.
"Gu Jian, is there anything else you want to say?"
Ye Qingcheng in the picture is cold and ruthless.
Gu Jian kowtowed deeply to the ground, and said sorrowfully, "Master, I hope you will investigate thoroughly. Your disciple is innocent!"
"This disciple is not afraid of death, but this disciple is afraid of dying without knowing why, and this disciple is afraid that after death, there will be no one to honor Master."
Ye Qingcheng frowned as she sat on the throne.
Another elder stepped forward.
"Gu Jian, if you want to beg for mercy, just say so. Why are you trying to play the emotional card?!"
"Do you think the sect leader will let you off the hook just because you said that?"
"If only I had known then what I know now."
"Sect Master, Gu Jian's crimes are unforgivable. I suggest that Gu Jian be executed immediately!"
"Excellent, Sect Master! Give the order to execute this sinner."
"Not killing Gu Jian would not appease public anger, nor would it comfort the souls of our departed fellow disciples."
"We also cannot answer to the ancestors of the Misty Sect..."
