Chapter 257 The Injustice Inflicted on the Two Beauties?
Peach Blossom Valley reaped the greatest rewards from this Heavenly Dao Spirit Platform Trial, gaining two new Nascent Soul stage disciples, much to the envy of all the sects in the Immortal Dao Alliance.
Secondly, there's Shi Yi from the Battle Sect. Although he didn't get the chance to form a Nascent Soul through the Heavenly Dao, he still obtained a cultivation technique from the trial, which can be considered a great gain.
The people of Tianfeng Sect were extremely depressed at this moment. Ever since Bai Ruoqian was struck away by heavenly lightning, rumors had been circulating all around them.
The term "divine retribution" resurfaced, and many people began to dig up past instances where Bai Ruoqian had been subjected to similar divine punishment during talisman competitions. Gradually, the flames of public opinion spread to the Tianfeng Sect.
Although there was no substantial evidence, these rumors alone were enough to infuriate Fu Zhenghan, who kept cursing Bai Ruoqian in his heart.
Lu Xuan's eyes flashed with a hidden glint, and she asked with a worried expression, "Junior Sister, is she alright? What exactly happened just now?"
Su Yuyuan glared at her angrily, "Don't believe everything you hear. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. I believe in my junior sister's character!"
Lu Xuan rolled her eyes at him. What does it mean that love makes people blind? Isn't this a living example?
Since learning about Ye Luo and Bai Ruoqian's identities as transmigrators, she had carefully considered the matter. Before she could fully develop her own power, she should remain cautious and discreet.
Now that the Heavenly Dao Spirit Platform trial was over, Mu Tai and the elders jumped up and prepared to shut down the Heavenly Dao Spirit Platform's magic array. Many people also began to leave one after another.
Just then, a beautiful figure flew out and landed on the high platform in the center of the venue. "Wait!"
Shi Yi exclaimed in delight, "Xiao Xi!"
"Du Jiaoxi?" Ye Luo only remembered this matter when she saw her remove the veil from her face. She quickly looked around but did not see the Fourth Elder at all.
He subconsciously looked at his master beside him, only to see him calmly looking ahead, as if he already knew what was about to happen.
"Du Jiaoxi, how dare you show your face!" Sect Leader Jiang Yunzi glared at her, as if she were some kind of sinner.
Seeing this, Du Jiaoxi just gave him a contemptuous smile, "Sect Leader Jiang, what are you saying? I haven't done anything wrong, so why can't I come out and meet people?"
"Outrageous!" Jiang Yunzi was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Du Jiaoxi on the high platform and shouted, "Guards, take her back to the sect and deal with her according to the law!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi became nervous and took a few steps forward to protect her, but was stopped by the elder beside him.
When Chen Yici saw her suddenly appear, he was also a little puzzled by her actions. He exchanged a glance with Bai Qingyi beside him, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
"Hahahaha! This is hilarious!" Du Jiaoxi suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard she was shaking, and continued, "The Qingyue Sect actually has 'methods'? It's an absolute joke!"
"How dare you!" Jiang Yunzi shouted angrily.
Du Jiaoxi's smile vanished, and she said, "Jiang Yunzi, don't you know how rotten Qingyue Sect is?"
"Xiao Xi, how can you be so disrespectful to your elders?" Chen Yici, who originally wanted to plead for her, couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing these words. "You should quickly apologize to the sect leader and beg for his forgiveness."
"Ha, he's not worthy." Du Jiaoxi looked at Chen Yici and laughed, "Elder Chen, are you a fool?"
Seeing Chen Yici looking at her with a puzzled expression, Du Jiaoxi smiled and continued, "There's more to the story than meets the eye back then. It was actually him and Bai Qingyi, who were by your side, who killed Cheng Rou, whom you loved so deeply back then."
"What?!"
These words caused an uproar among the crowd, who began to whisper among themselves.
"No way, how could Fairy Qingyi, who is so gentle and kind, do such a thing?"
"What? Bai Qingyi wasn't without a motive. If Cheng Rou hadn't died, how could she have married Chen Yici?"
"There have been rumors before, but who can believe them without any evidence?"
"Isn't she a disciple of the Qingyue Sect? What's going on here?"
"Hey, who knows?"
...
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Bai Qingyi clenched her fist, then relaxed it and said coldly, "You junior dare to be so presumptuous, daring to spout nonsense and slander my and the sect's reputation, you deserve to die!"
Jiang Yunzi waved his hand with a grim expression, "Go, capture her!"
Du Jiaoxi flashed to Mu Tai's side and knelt down with a thud, saying, "Alliance Leader Mu, back then, Yu Zheng was accused of killing her master and was hunted down by the entire Immortal Alliance. In fact, it was all a malicious frame-up by the Qingyue Sect. I hope you can seek justice for the two girls who were wronged back then!"
Mu Tai frowned deeply. "Tell me in detail."
Jiang Yunzi's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she roared, "This is utter nonsense! Seize her at once!"
"Yes!" Several elders of Qingyue Sect responded and rushed towards Du Jiaoxi, who was not far away.
"Xiao Xi!" Shi Yi was greatly alarmed upon seeing this. He pushed aside the sect members and leaped onto the high platform to protect her behind him. "Don't be afraid, I won't let them take you away!"
"Get out of my way, kid!"
Du Jiaoxi looked at the tall figure in front of her, and her nose felt a little sore. She stepped forward, patted his back, and whispered, "Don't worry, leave quickly and don't get involved."
"Shut up! You're my woman now, how can I stand idly by!"
At this moment, Jiang Yunzi glanced at Bai Qingyi and saw the killing intent in her eyes. "A disgrace to the sect, Elder of Law Enforcement, execute her immediately!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
Several elders suddenly appeared and charged towards Du Jiaoxi, who was not far away. Just then, Ming Cang knocked back the people who had come forward with a palm strike.
"Sect Leader Jiang, since the innocent are innocent, why rush to silence this child? Let her tell the truth so everyone can judge for themselves. Wouldn't that be a way to give you justice?"
Jiang Yunzi slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, saying, "Ming Cang, this is an internal matter of my sect. It's none of your business to meddle here!"
"Mind your own business?"
Ming Cang smiled and continued, "The person she mentioned, Yu Zheng, is the older sister of my beloved disciple, Yu Xian'er. Shouldn't I, as her master, find out the truth of the matter?"
