Chapter 59
“Ahhh—”
The shrill screams pierced the entire square.
The red light of the 'Demon-Falling Order' was dazzling, and the strands of red light on the order moved across the field like magma erupting. The black magic light was exposed bit by bit by the red light like water droplets, leaving nowhere to hide. Finally, it evaporated like mist under the red light.
After a while, the evil and bloody energy that filled the field was reduced to blood all over the ground.
Upon seeing this, the elders of the six sects all clapped their hands and smiled in admiration.
"As expected of the 'Demon Subduing Order' from the Immortal Venerable Xingxuan, it truly is a powerful weapon for slaying demons!"
"After all, it is an immortal weapon refined by the Immortal Venerable. It has such power even without being activated."
"But the scattered light can completely dissipate the evil spirit. The power of the immortal weapon is indeed incomparable to that of the spiritual weapon."
In stark contrast to the satisfied expressions of the elders, the faces of the Wuxiang League members were as pale as dust.
"How, how is this possible?" Zhao Yu was shocked.
Lin Xubai didn't expect this either, and was also surprised by the scene before him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan held the 'Demon-Falling Order' in her hand, but apart from the token shining brightly, she did not show any reaction, and did not look as seriously injured as others imagined.
She also turned the token over and over in her hands and looked like she was having a lot of fun.
In sharp contrast to this was the demon cultivator lying on the ground not far away, covered in blood.
The demon cultivator who was held to the ground by Huo Xiangqi was now emitting black demonic energy all over his body, with a distorted face. He rolled on the ground in extreme pain under the spiritual light of the "Demon Subduing Order".
The most piercing screams came from him. Of course, he was still screaming now, as if he was being tortured. Hearing them, many monks present could not help but step back.
"Is this the 'Demon-Falling Token'? It looks no different from an ordinary token!" Jiang Wanshou raised the black, gold-rimmed token high in the sunlight, examining it carefully. He weighed it, then feigned a nonchalant gaze towards Zhao Yu, a playful expression in his eyes. "Oh, by the way, what did you just say? Burning through the sea of consciousness, incinerating the soul? But why don't I feel any discomfort at all?"
In Zhao Yu's eyes, Jiang Wan's look was the ultimate mockery, she was practically hitting him in the face.
"Impossible! How could there be no reaction?" Zhao Yu was stunned. She suddenly rushed to Jiang Wan and tried to snatch the 'Demon Subduing Order' from her hand, but Jiang Wan dodged her very quickly. "How could a magical weapon have no reaction to you?"
Zhao Yu couldn't understand. In her opinion, Jiang Wan was definitely an undercover agent sent by the demon clan. If he was not a demon clan member, he must be a demon cultivator who had abandoned his magic skills and started to cultivate immortal magic. The "Demon Subduing Order" should not have no reaction at all.
"No! I don't believe it!" She stared at the 'Demon-Falling Order', looking at Jiang Wan and then at Lin Xubai, "Impossible!"
Not to mention her confusion and shock, even the cultivators from the Wuxiang League who were involved in this matter had not expected that all their careful preparations would lead to such an unexpected result.
Huo Xiangqi, who had been so confident, was now stunned and stood there like a wooden chicken.
As proud as Huo Xiangqi was when she produced the irrefutable evidence just now, she felt as embarrassed as she felt now that she had been slapped in the face.
Lin Xubai also didn't expect that before he could make a move, Jiang Wan had solved this dangerous identity situation on her own.
etc!
A Wan is not a demon? ! ! !
Among the people present, the one who was most shocked was Lin Xubai's lack of reaction to the 'Demon-Falling Order'.
Because he has always believed that Jiang Wan is a demon.
Now Jiang Wan told him that he was wrong and she was not a demon. Lin Xubai felt as if his three views were shattered, and his heart was still shaken.
"No way, no way, no way, someone's not going to come out and say this immortal weapon was tampered with and doesn't count, right?" Jiang Wan raised his chin proudly, glancing at the demon cultivator still wailing on the ground. Then, holding the token, he walked towards the platform, quietly walking away from Lin Xubai. "Master, fellow immortal sect elders, and elders of the Wuxiang League, you wouldn't... question the results of this immortal weapon's appraisal like Miss Zhao did, would you?"
Although he had an indifferent expression, everyone could see a hint of arrogance in Jiang Wan.
"How could it be! Who could tamper with Xingxuan Immortal Venerable's immortal weapon?"
The elders of the six sects spoke out one after another, saying that such a method was impossible, and the identification result of the "Demon-Falling Order" was accurate, and Jiang Wan was indeed not a demon.
"Ah~" Jiang Wan let out a fake sigh, "It's hard to say. What if it was Immortal Xingxuan who did something behind my back?"
Xingxuan Immortal Lord himself Lin Xubai: "..."
Xingxuan Immortal Venerable wanted to, but he didn't have time...
Lin Xubai pretended to look away as if he was looking at the scenery, his hands resting on his elbows in front of him, the folding fan in his hand subconsciously tapping the bridge of his nose, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and an uncontrollable smile poured out from the corners of his eyes.
"It seems that this matter has become clear. Jiang Wan is not a demon." Xingrong Peak Master Fu Bingqiao's expression was cold, and he looked sharply at the female disciples in the audience. "Fake, Third Mother...right...you still insist that you heard Jiang Wan secretly communicating with the demon cultivator with your own ears?"
The fake Sanniang, whose name was called, shuddered all over and hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "Disciple is absolutely not lying! Disciple really heard it!"
"I live in the same room with Jiang Wan. She used to quietly leave Weiming Residence every night, often staying out all night. Because Jiang Wan and I are close, I accidentally discovered this, and she even asked me not to tell anyone." Fake Sanniang was panicked, looking at Jiang Wan with pleading eyes as she explained, "Because of what Senior Sister Zhao had said to her recently...she became angry and hasn't returned to Weiming Residence. I was worried, so I went looking for her, and unexpectedly, I overheard her secretly conversing with a demon cultivator...talking about building a demonic realm, barriers, formations, and so on!"
"That's right! She also mentioned the Demonic Spirit Path and the Heart-Entangled Sect! Because of this, I remember that she's been acting so mysteriously over the past five years! She might be a spy from the Demonic Sect who's infiltrated the Immortal Sect!" Fake Sanniang's eyes were red with anxiety, and she was crying. "Master! Peak Master! Every word this disciple said is true!"
The fake Sanniang's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Jiang Wan secretly, who was unmoved by what she said. It was true that she had a good relationship with Jiang Wan. In the past five years, she would ask Jiang Wan when she didn't understand a sword move. Even if Jiang Wan didn't understand, he would still patiently accompany her to practice over and over again, and help her correct it stroke by stroke.
Even though Jiang Wan is a recognized sword genius in the entire Guiyuan Sect, Xie Jianzun is the future direct disciple.
Although Jiang Wan looks indifferent and always has a blank expression, as if she keeps people at a distance, in stark contrast to her cold and taciturn appearance, she is a person who is warm on the inside. She never looks down on ordinary disciples with ordinary talents like her, and can easily get along with everyone.
In the words of Elder Xiong, "I've never seen such a noisy and aloof girl."
This was also the reason why Zhao Yu dared to take the initiative to pull Jiang Wan and persuade her when she targeted Jiang Wan before.
A few days ago, Huo Xiangqi found her and used her family and future to "admonish" her, just like what she said when she persuaded Jiang Wan. As an ordinary cultivator, how could she go against such a huge force as the Wuxiang League?
Everything she said today was taught to her by Huo Xiangqi. She didn't know whether Jiang Wan was colluding with the evil cultivators or not, but it was true that Jiang Wan often stayed out all night and her whereabouts were strange. However, Fake Sanniang also knew that Jiang Wan was most likely going to find Lin Xubai of Yancang Peak.
Fake Sanniang knew that Jiang Wan would definitely say that she went to find Lin Xubai to prove herself, but such an explanation was not enough to prove that Jiang Wan had no connection with the evil cultivator.
Having to choose between herself and Jiang Wan, she had no choice but to choose herself. Thinking of this, Fake Sanniang couldn't help but look at Jiang Wan with pleading eyes. You can understand her choice, right!
In response to the accusation of the fake Sanniang, Jiang Wan simply said, "Ah...staying out all night? You'll have to ask the Law Enforcement Hall about that..."
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter broke out from the audience.
In the audience, many Guiyuan Sect disciples who knew Jiang Wan's name well covered their mouths, but in the end they couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This caused many disciples from other sects nearby to be confused and bewildered by the collective laughter of the Guiyuan Sect disciples. Fortunately, a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect was kind enough to explain it to them secretly.
Speaking of Jiang Wan, everyone in Guiyuan Sect's impression of her, apart from her reputation as a natural swordsman, is her endless chase with the Law Enforcement Hall.
After all... Jiang Wan entered the Law Enforcement Hall on her first day.
"Everyone in the Guiyuan Sect knows that I'm a frequent visitor to the Law Enforcement Hall..." Jiang Wan's tone was speechless in the first half of the sentence and proud in the second half, which made the audience burst into laughter again.
"Ahem..." Elder Xiong pretended to clear his throat, "My Guiyuan Sect's rules have always been like this..."
Elder Xiong frowned darkly. Why did he feel so ashamed even though Jiang Wan had been cleared of all charges?
I feel like I'm going to lose face with him in front of the entire world of immortal cultivation...
Feeling the spiritual pressure coming from the unfriendly face above, Han Ci hurriedly explained, "I, I saw that the demon who issued the 'Beauty Order' several years ago had a close relationship with a female cultivator who was traveling with her in Tahuahe City. That female cultivator is a demon cultivator and a guardian messenger under the Demon Lord! Everyone, please understand! If you ask anyone in Tahuahe City, they will know this!"
"Enough!" The headmaster swung his whisk, and everyone fell silent. "Jiang Wan, please come forward—"
At the same time, Sect Leader Xiao Xin drew a golden talisman on his hand and shot it into Jiang Wan's body.
"Have you ever secretly colluded with the demonic cultivators to harm our Guiyuan Sect?"
"No."
"Are you a spy sent by the demons to infiltrate our sect?"
"no."
"Have you ever had the slightest intention of harming your fellow disciples?"
"No."
After three questions and three answers, the Mantra Talisman remained calm, which proved that Jiang Wan was telling the truth.
Jiang Wan curled her lips. She herself was the Demon Lord, so how could she be "instructed by the demons" or "secretly colluding"? She was always the one giving orders unilaterally, so naturally every word she said was the truth.
"In that case..." The Sect Leader waved his hand, dispersing the Mantra Talisman on Jiang Wan's body, "What else do you have to say?"
"I..." Zhao Yu was speechless.
At this moment, a familiar golden light entered Zhao Yu. "Since the Sect Leader has asked Junior Sister Jiang, we should reciprocate. No, for the sake of fairness, we should also ask the instigator, Miss Zhao, what exactly is the purpose of this incident today?"
Lin Xubai calmly and elegantly put away the folding fan on which he had drawn the talisman. His tone was gentle, and he gave Zhao Yu an almost provocative smile.
Zhao Yu's face turned pale and blue. She wanted to scold Lin Xubai, but what she said was completely different from what she thought.
"Of course, it's to find the Immortal Xingxuan who is hiding in Guiyuan Sect! We investigated Jiang Wan and discovered that she was abducted to the Demon Realm five years ago. The person who went to the Demon Realm to rescue her was the Immortal Xingxuan!"
Ever since Zhao Yu accidentally learned that after Jiang Wan was captured and taken to the Demon Realm, a man in black clothes came to sweep the Demon Sect and fought against the Demon Lord, and the two sides ended in a draw, Zhao Yu suspected that this man in black clothes was the Xingxuan Immortal Lord she had been looking for.
That was why she wanted to take advantage of Jiang Wan's incident to force Xing Xuan Xian Zun out.
She was certain that Jiang Wan was a demon because their Wuxiang League bribed a demon cultivator, and that demon cultivator accidentally learned a piece of news from the demon general under the Demon Lord that the female cultivator who was captured in Tahuahe City several years ago was a demon.
But who would have thought that such a thing with solid evidence would actually have a reversal!
Who could have thought of this?
If Jiang Wan knew what Wuxiang League was thinking, she would probably answer silently in her heart—
She is a necromancer. A necromancer can summon undead creatures and is the lord of the undead. But that doesn't mean she is an undead.
On the game character interface, the character race column is marked as human.
Otherwise, why do you think she was so confident to rush forward and grab the magic weapon?
She's not stupid...
