Chapter 58
Jiang Wan, who became the focus of everyone's attention, maintained a calm and composed expression. Even when facing the suspicious gazes of several powerful people, she remained calm and composed.
Such a calm and composed look made many elders of the sect who valued talents secretly nod in admiration. He was indeed a sword genius who could be promoted to the Golden Core stage in five years. His calm and steady mentality alone was enough to widen the gap between him and other cultivators.
Jiang Wan was completely unaware of the secret praise that some of the powerful people on the stage had for her.
What was her biggest gain from coming to Guiyuan Sect?
Apart from the growing friendship with her eldest nephew, she was probably accustomed to this kind of scene that attracted everyone's attention. She really wanted to complain that she had never experienced such treatment when she took office as the Demon Lord. She had experienced it all in the Guiyuan Sect where people practiced Taoism... It was really unique.
Even if many of these people are powerful ancestors in the immortal sect who can shock half of the immortal world with just a stomp of their feet, almost all the tribulation-crossing and Mahayana masters in the immortal world are here.
But Jiang Wan was not afraid at all, and his eyes were calm.
She looked at Zhao Yu's obviously malicious smile, but her peripheral vision keenly caught the sharp look of the leader at the top looking at Zhao Yu. There was suppressed anger in his eyes, and he was about to scold her.
Before the Sect Master could reprimand her, Jiang Wan raised her eyes and said, "Don't be upset, Sect Master. Today is the auspicious day for the grand competition to conclude. All the seniors and fellow students have come from far away to participate in this grand event. Why should you get angry for a few eye-catching jokes from Miss Zhao and give her such a big face?"
In one sentence, the tense atmosphere on the scene was eased, which not only soothed the monks whose process of ending the ceremony was interrupted, but also satirized Zhao Yu.
Hearing this, and seeing the young man beside Jiang Wan nodding frequently at Jiang Wan's words, the anger in the leader's eyes subsided slightly, and the oppressive aura on his body also quietly dissipated.
"Let's resolve the matter between us ourselves."
Jiang Wan patted Lin Xubai's hand that was around her and walked towards Zhao Yu. Just when Zhao Yu thought that Jiang Wan was provoked by her.
Jiang Wan took three or five steps and then stopped: "Do you think I'm stupid? You've been targeting me from the beginning. You've been jealous to the point of being unrecognizable. Who knows if you've done anything to this red-eyed stone..."
Putting aside other things, Jiang Wan is a person who only responds to soft words and does not respond to tough ones. Just based on Zhao Yu's arrogant attitude, why should we do whatever she says?
Prove your innocence? Tsk~
Whoever makes the claim must provide evidence, do you understand?
Still want her to cooperate? Dream on!
Jiang Wan had no intention of cooperating anyway. She even wanted to draw hatred towards Zhao Yu. According to her observation, what Zhao Yu had done today had at least made half of the people in the audience displeased. This arrogant fool couldn't understand the atmosphere and thought that everyone's displeased faces were because of her, Jiang Wan.
If it weren't for the occasion, Jiang Wan would have laughed out loud.
What does it mean to hit yourself?
Zhao Yu herself is the best example!
"You're not even qualified to speak to our leader!" Then he turned around and complained loudly, "Uncle Elder Xiong, even if Miss Zhao relies on her noble status, she shouldn't bully others like this! Use your invincible "Exorcism of Evil" to teach her a lesson!"
Everyone: ...
I thought you were going to solve this... but... this is it? Aren't you still called a 'parent'?
Elder Xiong's forehead bulged with veins after being publicly called out, and his already ferocious demeanor darkened even further. "If the Sect Leader isn't qualified, then he is, right? You damned girl!"
"Who is your uncle? Stop yelling like a little girl!"
Zhao Yu's face flickered between pale and blue, her nails turning white from pressing so hard, she forced herself to suppress the rage that was about to explode. After taking a deep breath, she said righteously, "Everything I did to you before was just to test your identity. This Red Pupil Stone has never been tampered with. You can check it out!"
"Just because you say there's no evidence doesn't mean it's gone? Look at yourself, don't you look like someone who would do such a thing? You have absolutely no credibility at all." Jiang Wan spread his hands. "According to the logic you just stated, what if the manipulation you did is something that can't be detected?"
"Use magic to defeat magic," Jiang Wan directly refuted Zhao Yu's own logic.
"you--"
Successfully made Zhao Yu mad again!
Jiang Wan didn't laugh out loud, but Lin Xubai did.
So Zhao Yu turned around and pointed the gun at Lin Xubai again.
"You too! You've been acting strangely and have repeatedly protected Jiang Wan. I suspect both of you are not human! You're harboring evil intentions in Guiyuan Sect—"
Before he could finish his words, Elder Xiong interrupted with a sneer and a dark face. "Just look at how Miss Zhao from your Wuxiang League slanders others out of personal grudges and treats the Guiyuan Sect as if it were her own. I, Old Xiong, cannot trust her! No matter what tricks your Wuxiang League is up to, our Guiyuan Sect is not to be trifled with!"
Regardless of whether you want to become famous by stepping on Guiyuan Sect or not, if you don’t give an explanation today, Wuxiang Alliance will never be able to leave the main square of Guiyuan Sect.
The elders and the peak master of Guiyuan Sect exchanged glances, and were obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Yu's arrogant attitude on the field.
The immortal sect competition was so good, but it was messed up like this by the juniors of Wuxiang League. Not only Guiyuan Sect was upset, but the other six sects and Wubu were also very upset.
"A farce..."
Su Yang, the Tianji Sword Lord of the Qiyao Sect, had a cold expression on his face. He glanced sideways coldly in the direction of the Wuxiang Alliance and said this. Without waiting for any reaction from the people of the Wuxiang Alliance, he disappeared and left in an instant.
Tianji Sword Master wanted to leave, but the other cultivators from the Seven Stars Sect could not. The remaining people from the Seven Stars Sect who stayed behind all looked unhappy, and their eyes were not very friendly when they looked in the direction of the Wuxiang Alliance.
Tianji Sword Master expressed the thoughts of many people present.
No one could tell what kind of person the female swordsman from Guiyuan Sect was, but everyone could see clearly what kind of person Miss Zhao from Wuxiang League was.
As things have developed to this point, few people on the platform have a good look on their faces.
Oh, except Humaiting.
They all had smiles on their faces, their eyes were surprisingly bright, and they never stopped writing with their pens in their hands.
While writing, he scanned the entire audience again and again with his bright eyes, as if he was afraid of missing anything.
As early as when Zhao Yu came on the scene to make trouble, the leader of Humo Pavilion had the foresight to instruct several disciples to place the shadow stones and record them specifically.
Even though they tried their best to reduce their presence, they still couldn't hide their joyful excitement. They were just like badgers in a melon field, running around the field happily in the solemn atmosphere.
The leader of Guiyuan Sect, Xiao Xin, became increasingly powerful. When Lin Xubai said in a joking tone, "Miss Zhao is seeking the power to become the leader of Guiyuan Sect," the pressure from him that belonged to the Mahayana period overflowed. When Zhao Yu pointed out that Lin Xubai's identity was not right and that he was also a demon, he released the pressure and pressed directly towards Wuxiang League.
"It's nothing but the lies of an ignorant child. We in the Wuxiang League have absolutely no such desires!" The elder of the Wuxiang League forcibly withstood the pressure and forced a smile of apology. He thought the Guiyuan Sect had misunderstood, "Fairy Zhao is purely trying to catch the demon clan's spies for your Guiyuan Sect. She is so sincere!
On the contrary, that boy is using this to deliberately slander me! If he is truly innocent, why not try the Red Eye Stone?! Dodging here and there with excuses like this doesn't mean these two have something to hide! "
After hearing this, the expression of the leader of Guiyuan Sect did not ease as the elder of Wuxiang League had imagined. Instead, he slapped him hard with a slap of spiritual light.
The Wuxiang League members who were beaten continuously:???
No, we have been so humble and helped you catch the traitor, why are you still hitting us?
"When is it time for outsiders to interfere in the actions of our Guiyuan Sect?" The Sect Master's expression darkened, his eyes filled with coldness. "Could it be that, as this disciple says, the Wuxiang Alliance wants to become the master of our Guiyuan Sect?"
The Wuxiang Alliance fell silent in an instant, sweating profusely, and dared not move at all.
The man from Wuxiang League who was hiding behind the crowd glanced at the audience seats several times with his peripheral vision. Suddenly, he seemed to see something, his eyes lit up with joy, and he winked.
In the viewing area, Huo Xiangqi received an eye signal, stepped out of the crowd, and raised her hand to salute.
"Master, I have found witnesses who can prove that Jiang Wan is indeed colluding with the demonic cultivators."
Huo Xiangqi didn't waste any words. He just waved his palm and brought the three people onto the stage.
Two immortal cultivators saluted tremblingly to the giants of the immortal cultivation world above them, and a demon cultivator was held to the ground.
The female cultivator was named Fake Sanniang. She claimed that she had lived in the same courtyard with Jiang Wan for many years and that they had a close relationship. She once accidentally witnessed Jiang Wan secretly communicating with the demon cultivator.
The male cultivator was a cultivator from Tahuahe City. He was Han Ci who was rescued five years ago. He trembled as he testified that Jiang Wan had a close relationship with the demon leader of the Demon Realm five years ago.
The last demon cultivator was a spy captured by the Wuxiang Alliance by following the flow of spirit stones given to Jiang Wan.
"That day, I gave Junior Sister Jiang a lot of elixirs and spirit stones on Zhao Yu's behalf as an apology. However, among these spirit stones, a piece of Miu Etie that looked even better than a spirit stone accidentally got mixed in. In order to recover it, I had to ask the cultivators in the alliance who are good at tracking it to help. I didn't expect that in the end, following these spirit stones, they would actually..." Huo Xiangqi paused, crossed her hands in front of her, and looked extremely dignified. "I didn't expect that these spirit stones would fall into the hands of demon cultivators. Not only did they recover the Miu Etie, but they also found a demon clan spy who had infiltrated our sect."
"Junior Sister Jiang, if you truly have no connection to the demonic cultivators, why do you avoid contact with them, and yet... have such a close relationship? You're a cultivator from a small place in Dongzhou, close to the Demonic Realm. Unless you were sent by the Demonic Path, I really can't think of any other reason."
Unlike Zhao Yu's aggressiveness, Huo Xiangqi spoke gently and with a smile on her face, and every word she said was sharp.
After saying this, he bowed towards the platform and said, "Master, please bear witness. All the evidence is here. I also ask all the seniors of the immortal sect to bring out Xingxuan Immortal Venerable's "Demon Subduing Order" to eliminate the demonic obstacles of Qingxian Sect—"
Lin Xubai felt depressed. He walked forward and moved Jiang Wan behind him.
"It's just a minor quarrel between female cultivators. Why involve the Immortal Venerable? This immortal weapon is so precious, how can we just use it casually?" Lin Xubai's eyebrows curved, and his smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, but there was no warmth in the depths of his smiling eyes. "But just based on a single word from you, the Wuxiang League, you want our Guiyuan Sect to hand over the immortal weapon. Could it be that you, the Wuxiang League, were after the immortal weapon from the beginning?"
The tone is gentle, but every word is sharp, carrying murderous intent.
He took off the folding fan at some point. The magic weapon that Jiang Wan had given him was transformed into a fan-shaped hair accessory with pink and blue interwoven together. He inserted it into Jiang Wan's hair while he was combing her hair.
His fingertips tapped lightly on the fan bones. With each tap, the smile on his face became gentler and the air around him became a little more stagnant.
"This young man from the Wuxiang League has a point. Today is the Immortal Sect Competition, and with the elites from all factions gathered, it's the perfect time to test any potential Demon Sect spies hidden within our ranks!" The Dianxing Sect elder who spoke looked around at the assembled cultivators, then gave Jiang Wan a meaningful look. "Since you have doubts, why not give the 'Demon Subduing Order' a try?"
The words of the Dianxing Sect elder hit the nail on the head for many people, and they immediately felt that Huo Xiangqi's proposal was very good.
However, Lin Xubai's hint that the Wuxiang Alliance was plotting to obtain the immortal weapon was temporarily ignored.
The Demon-Subduing Order of the Immortal Xingxuan and the Red Pupil Stone in Zhao Yu's hand are not on the same level.
"All the spiritual weapons and elixirs in this world may be counterfeit, except for the immortal weapon of Xingxuan Immortal Venerable - the Demon Falling Order.
It can’t be fake.”
Is there any better way to distinguish between humans and demons than the Demon-Falling Order?
The last demon whose true form was revealed by the Demon-Falling Order was the Demon Girl of the Heavenly Demon Clan. Even the current Heavenly Demon Lord Yan Yan was injured by the Demon-Falling Order. This is an immortal weapon that has been stained with demon blood, and even the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan cannot escape it.
We will know whether it is a demon by using the Demon-Subduing Order.
Even the leader of Guiyuan Sect was persuaded and felt that it was a good thing to ask for the "Demon-Falling Order". It was not that he believed the accusations of Huo Xiangqi and Zhao Yu. You should know that the undercover agents caught by Guiyuan Sect were almost all immortal cultivators of the human race. There were not many real demon cultivators, let alone the demons.
Mainly, the leader of Guiyuan Sect felt that his ancestor's reaction was not right, something was not right, something that seemed a little familiar.
Lin Xubai began to panic. Unlike Jiang Wan who was completely unfamiliar with the Demon-Falling Order, he knew best what the effect of his own "Demon-Falling Order" was.
How could Lin Xubai not know whether Jiang Wan is a human?
From the moment she could find him at a glance on the first day of her entry, and even pulled him into this noisy world, he knew that Jiang Wan was not an ordinary cultivator.
Whether Jiang Wan is a human or a demon is not important to Lin Xubai at all.
Zhao Yu's red-eyed Shi Lin Xubai could secretly help Jiang Wan with his tricks, but the only thing he could do was the 'Demon Subjugation Order'...
It is deadly to the demons.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have made this token!!!
Did he have nothing to do at the time? Why did he come up with such arbitrary things?
People are unable to empathize with others, and sure enough, he can't even empathize with his past self.
Lin Xubai is in this state of mind now, and he has cursed his past self thousands of times in his heart.
No, we must find a way to let Awan avoid the 'Demon-Falling Order' and never let the 'Demon-Falling Order' be used on Awan.
He secretly sent a message to Xiao Xin, asking him to interrupt this farce immediately.
But as soon as he sent a message, Xiao Xin quickly took out the "Demon-Falling Order".
Lin Xubai: ...
Zhao Yu was very proud when she saw the 'Demon-Falling Order' appear.
"Well, Jiang Wan, do you dare to hold the 'Demon Subjugation Order' in your hand to prove that you are not a demon? Don't blame me for not reminding you, this 'Demon Subjugation Order' has no effect on humans, but if a demon comes into contact with it, it will burn through the sea of consciousness and incinerate the soul. Oh, I'm wrong, it should be incinerated."
"A Wan..." Lin Xubai thought about going up first and quietly sealing the 'Demon-Falling Order', so that even if Jiang Wan touched it, she would not be hurt by the 'Demon-Falling Order'.
Just when no one could react, Jiang Wan sneered at Zhao Yu, took the initiative to brush away Lin Xubai's hand, and rushed forward.
One hand holds the 'Demon Subduing Order' in the center.
The 'Demon Subduing Order' shone brightly.
Zhao Yu: “!!!”
Everyone: “!!!”
Lin Xubai: “!!!”
