The next moment, a handsome young man with feminine features squeezed out from the crowd of onlookers not far away. This man looked eight-tenths like Chen Shuo, the previous city lord of Quyang City. Both were extremely handsome, and in terms of demeanor, he was even better than his father.
He was Chen Yue, the acting city lord of Quyang City. How could he accept the deaths of his father and sister? Of course not. Even though the murderer was dead, he was still furious.
So he drew the image of the female cultivator he had seen who had been separated from his sister's body, and within two days he found out that she was Ye Susu, a disciple of True Person Xuyang of the Canglan Sect.
Of course, there's also Ye Sisi, the personal disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect's leader. The two look exactly alike and are sisters, so they're naturally on his list of suspects.
However, finding out who this person was was very simple; it didn't take long for him to find out when Ye Susu's soul lamp had extinguished.
But even if he found out, it was useless. The Canglan Sect was far beyond what a Golden Core cultivator like him could handle. He couldn't even expose Ye Susu's evil deeds, let alone get a small Golden Core cultivator like the Canglan Sect to give him an explanation. He would probably be resented by the Canglan Sect and might die mysteriously at any time.
Reason kept telling him that the people who killed his sister and father were dead and he should let go of his hatred. But every time he thought about how the Canglan Sect might be behind these things, he felt uncomfortable. So he kept secretly trying to find a way to make the behemoth that was the Canglan Sect suffer.
Although...
This time, the Canglan Sect is really being blamed; they genuinely didn't know anything!
He had considered seeking help from Lan Hua Tian Gong, but the world is full of people who come and go for profit. If Cang Lan Sect had to pay a high enough price, it might have brought disaster upon himself and his family.
After all, a major sect like the Canglan Sect, which prides itself on being righteous, would never allow such a stain to exist. So, there is only one outcome for him, who knows about the Canglan Sect's dark history.
Just as he was preparing to bury this secret deep in his heart and let go of his resentment and hatred, a turning point arrived.
The Nascent Soul senior who avenged his father and sister's murder found him and signed a Heavenly Dao Contract. He not only had the opportunity to take a piece of flesh from the Canglan Sect, but also to become a nominal disciple of the Tianling Sect.
In this way, not only are the lives of oneself and one's family protected, but one can also vent one's anger. Why not?
As for whether it would implicate Lan Hua Tian Palace, he had already thought it through. He would no longer serve as the city lord of Qu Yang City; all of this was Chen Yue's personal decision.
"I am Chen Yue, the former city lord of Quyang City. I pay my respects to all of you seniors."
As soon as he said this, everyone had the same guess: Quyang City, isn't that the city where the successors of the Cursed Spirit Sect appear?
The meaning behind this sudden appearance is self-evident.
The previous city lord, oh no, the one before that, and his sixth young lady, all died from curses. Now Ye Susu has escaped using a substitution curse. What a coincidence!
Upon learning Chen Yue's identity, it wasn't just the cultivators from the Canglan Sect whose eyelids twitched wildly; everyone from the Lanhua Heavenly Palace also felt their eyelids twitching. Damn it, how did the gossip end up affecting them?!
Now that everything is out in the open, if Lan Hua Tian Gong doesn't make a move, who will dare to rely on them anymore?
The reason why people from small sects and minor families attach themselves to these large sects is simply to seek protection. Otherwise, who would be so foolish as to offer up huge amounts of wealth to those large sects every year?
Especially since Chen Shuo is an inner disciple of Lan Hua Tian Gong, if the sect remains silent when its own disciple is killed, can such a sect still be trusted?
Chen Yue completely ignored the strange atmosphere among the group of big shots in front of him and directly took out a magnificent bronze mirror from his sleeve.
The bronze mirror flashed with golden light, instantly transforming into a golden light screen that floated in the air. Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yue slashed open his own heart, and three drops of crimson heart blood disappeared into the light screen, along with a wisp of his divine soul.
He wanted to use the Haotian Mirror to play back everything he had seen with his own eyes.
The scene flashed across the golden light screen, starting with a golden lightning bolt above the city lord's mansion and continuing until Ye Sisi took out the Purifying Glazed Pagoda and forcibly extracted Ye Susu's soul from the ordinary female cultivator's body.
The appearance of that spirit was exactly like Ye Susu's, just like the person in the scene Su Jiuli played earlier. Okay, no need to explain anymore, there's going to be a good show.
Of course, this memory also includes the scene of Su Jiuli and Lin Shuangluo joining forces to fight the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, but it doesn't matter, because all three of them, including Ye Sisi, were disguised.
Lin Shuang watched from the side, his lips twitching. He figured that image of the boisterous old lady would probably stay with him for life.
Especially after noticing Bai Luochen's stealthy movements and strange gaze, he just wanted to cover his face. His lifelong reputation was ruined!
While the others were enjoying the spectacle, they were also somewhat horrified. Good heavens, if they weren't mistaken, that golden pagoda was the Pure World Glazed Pagoda, ranked number one on the Spiritual Treasure Ranking! It had actually appeared in the world! And it had even recognized a master!
They were shocked but also wanted to laugh. They knew that two Nascent Soul cultivators of unknown name and origin had appeared in Xuyangcheng that time, but they never expected that one of them would be an old lady who was even more fierce than a man.
Su Jiuli's eyes were full of mockery. If Lan Hua Tian Gong did not make a public statement today, the small families and sects that depended on them would probably all start thinking about finding another backer.
At this moment, everyone from the Canglan Sect and Lanhua Heavenly Palace was cursing in their hearts. Damn it, wasn't this forcing them to turn against each other in public?
