At that moment, Ji Chuan's movements suddenly froze.
Who's there?
Little Fire immediately perked up its ears and muttered something under its breath.
"Master, he's found us?"
"No!"
Ye Lingtian's gaze sharpened slightly.
He discovered something else!
Before the words were finished, a whooshing sound came from the other side of the canyon, and a figure suddenly appeared, his body wrapped in blue spiritual light, and landed directly opposite Ji Chuan.
"Ji Chuan, stop pretending! I demand an explanation today for your collusion with evil spirits!"
The man roared angrily, pointing his long sword at Ji Chuan, the blade radiating a chilling aura.
"Hey, there are people who came to us even before we did!"
Little Fire muttered to itself, flicking its tail twice.
"Master, who is this guy? He seems to be someone important!"
"Ling Haotian, an inner sect elder of the Qingfeng Sect!"
Ye Lingtian said calmly.
"A cultivator with a fiery personality but mediocre cultivation level!"
"Tsk, someone with such mediocre cultivation dares to jump out like this. He's probably going to get killed by Ji Chuan, isn't he?"
Xiao Huo scratched his head.
"Master, should we help him? Or should I breathe fire to scare them?"
"Let's see!"
Ye Lingtian spoke calmly.
"He may not be here to die!"
On the field, Ji Chuan's smile froze slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He looked at Ling Haotian, his tone carrying a hint of contempt.
"Elder Ling, you're like a persistent ghost."
"You think you can ruin my grand plan?"
"Ji Chuan, stop making excuses!"
Ling Haotian roared angrily.
"The strange phenomena at Tianyun Tower were clearly caused by you! You're covered in evil energy, and you still want to deny it?"
"Hmph, what evidence do you have?"
Ji Chuan sneered.
"Don't think you can accuse me with just a few guesses, Ling Haotian. I advise you to leave now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"evidence?"
Ling Haotian snorted coldly.
"The spirit stone in your hand is the best proof! The power of evil cannot deceive me!"
"Looks like you're determined to die!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Ji Chuan's eyes. He suddenly raised his hand, and the spirit stone in his hand shone with black light. The five demons immediately pounced on Ling Haotian.
"Master, what did I tell you? Ling Haotian is just here to get himself killed!"
Xiao Huo whispered.
"What do we do now? Do we really let Ji Chuan succeed?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Lingtian's eyes.
"The time has come!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly flashed and instantly appeared above Ji Chuan.
A seven-colored sword beam descended from the sky, directly separating Ji Chuan from the spirit stone and simultaneously cleaving the five demons in two.
Caught off guard, Ji Chuan staggered back, his face turning deathly pale.
He looked up and saw Ye Lingtian, his voice trembling.
"Nine...Nine Heavenly Emperor! What are you doing here!"
"Ji Chuan!"
Ye Lingtian's voice was as cold as ice.
"Colluding with evil is the last mistake you will ever make!"
Ji Chuan's face turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.
"Heavenly Emperor, you misunderstand! I have absolutely no connection with demons! I merely obtained these spirit stones by chance and used them for cultivation! The demons just now... they suddenly appeared on their own, they have nothing to do with me!"
"Unrelated to evil spirits?"
Ye Lingtian looked at him, his voice icy.
"Then how do you explain the aura of the Void that permeates this spirit stone?"
Ji Chuan was speechless for a moment, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
He forced down his panic and said in a trembling voice.
"Heavenly Emperor, this...it might be a problem with the spirit stone itself! I truly don't know its origin! You must believe me, I'm just a lowly cultivator, how could I dare to get involved with evil spirits!"
"You dare to lie to me? You've got some nerve!"
Ye Lingtian raised his hand and waved it gently. The spirit stone floated in the air, and the surrounding black mist was dispelled by the seven-colored light, revealing a rune that exuded evil energy.
"This is the Seal of the Void, a crucial medium used to summon demons. You really didn't know?"
Ji Chuan's face grew even paler; his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"Master, stop talking nonsense!"
The little fire shot out from the sky, flicked its tail, and pointed at Ji Chuan.
"This guy looks guilty! Let me give him a try!"
"No need!"
Ye Lingtian said calmly.
"He's trapped now, he can't escape!"
Ji Chuan suddenly knelt down, crying out in tears.
"Heavenly Emperor, spare me! I... I was forced! I really didn't collude with the demons on my own initiative! They... they approached me and threatened me with these spirit stones, demanding that I do things for them! If I didn't agree, they would destroy my sect!"
"It's the same old thing again!"
Ye Lingtian's gaze was cold.
"You are digging your own grave!"
"I...I had no choice!"
Ji Chuan was on the verge of collapse, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Heavenly Emperor, please spare me! I promise I will never again have any dealings with demons! Please, give me a chance!"
"Chance?"
Ye Lingtian slightly raised his hand, and the seven-colored sword light instantly enveloped Ji Chuan.
"You have no chance anymore!"
"Heavenly Emperor, spare my life! Heavenly Emperor, spare my life!"
Ji Chuan's voice grew louder and louder, even carrying a hint of hysterical fear.
"Small fire!"
Ye Lingtian suddenly turned his head.
He's left to you!
