Chapter 136 Yicheng Trial 17 And so, another hour passed…
So, after another hour, about ten people had gathered on the ninth floor of the small tower.
The newcomers didn't remain silent either; instead, they began discussing how to save Xie Jiaoyue. Although almost no one thought it was impossible, everyone tried their best to impress the Nascent Soul level expert and get his attention.
Perhaps if they perform well, their family members might catch the eye of the Azure Kite Sword Master and eventually be taken as his disciples.
They chattered away like parrots, which annoyed Qingyuan Sword Master to no end.
Most importantly, he wasn't stupid; he could completely understand that these people had no way to care about Xie Jiaoyue. The only one who really cared about Xie Jiaoyue was probably Gong Shirao.
Gong Shirao was genuinely trying to find a solution, but she had almost given up on the possibility of Xie Jiaoyue surviving. She was seriously considering the possibility of reviving Xie Jiaoyue while preserving a sliver of her soul.
The longer Qingyuan Sword Master waited, the more silent he became.
He wasn't too heartbroken, after all, he hadn't known Xie Jiaoyue for long. He felt more helpless; after so many years of trying to take on a disciple, it had ended like this, which was truly regrettable.
After waiting for a day and a night, the parrots, who had been chattering away, grew tired and fell silent. The few remaining humans who still held a glimmer of hope also fell silent, and the starlight in their eyes gradually faded, turning into lifeless spheres.
Gong Shirao still couldn't quite believe it. How could her daughter, who held so much hope and a bright future, suddenly be on the verge of death after only a short time? Even after waiting here for a whole day, she still found it hard to accept that this was real.
It was too sudden. There was no bloodshed or the sound of swords flashing. She couldn't see anything. She was just mixed in with a group of powerful people, listening to their chatter, when Xie Jiaoyue was sentenced to death.
There was nothing she could do but look at the instigator, Gong Shiyu, with hatred in her eyes.
Ironically, it's also difficult to channel her anger at this point.
The Grand Elder of the Gongshi Clan remained by her side, treating her with extreme cooperation and joining her in cursing Gongshi Yu. He immediately agreed to whatever she asked, and even when she wanted to have Gongshi Yu executed by slow slicing, she heard no objection.
They even offered to compensate them with a certain amount of spirit stones and magic treasures.
Gong Shirao felt as if she had punched cotton, utterly powerless.
Director Jue patted Qingyuan Swordsman on the shoulder: "Don't wait anymore, let's disperse. If Xie Jiaoyue doesn't show up by now, I'm afraid there really won't be another chance."
Gong Shirao refused to believe it: "The tenth level is not completely calm yet! Isn't it said that no one has ever lived on the tenth level for so long? Let's wait and see, maybe Jiaoyue has obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Venerable."
Everyone was trying hard to control their emotions, yet faint laughter could still be heard from some people.
A mocking laugh.
Xie Jiaoyue's love-obsessed nature is well-known. How could someone who puts herself after a man so wholeheartedly, such a chosen vessel, possibly be favored by the ruthless and decisive Heavenly Fiend Immortal Venerable?
Back in the day, the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Venerable was deceived by a man, and in the end, he directly killed him with a single sword strike.
Xie Jiaoyue could never come out alive. She would definitely be refined by the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Venerable, who despises love-obsessed people the most, and turned into part of the tower.
"It moved! It moved! Immortal Venerable, look, it moved here!" Gong Shirao was completely unaffected by the others. She kept her eyes on the entrance to the tenth floor and immediately noticed the fluctuations of the black vortex.
Some people secretly thought to themselves, "It's so subtle, it can't be considered a fluctuation, right?" But they dared not say it, for who would want to provoke the Green Kite Sword Master?
No one really thought Xie Jiaoyue could come out alive.
However, the vortex's fluctuations became increasingly apparent.
Xie Jiaoyue emerged alive and well!
Wow, so many people.
Xie Jiaoyue said with a smile, "Are you here to witness Gong Shiyu's death?"
After saying that, she slashed with her sword, directly breaking the ropes binding Gong Shiyu and releasing him.
Gong Shiyu slumped to the ground, utterly bewildered.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xie Jiaoyue took Gong Shiyu's Spirit Mirror and found that it was indeed glowing. Chu Xingjin was in contact with Gong Shiyu, and the live broadcast that had been interrupted resumed after she came out.
Xie Jiaoyue sent a message herself: "Brother Xingjin, someone is bullying me. I thought if you were here, you would definitely kill him for me. I don't want to dirty your hands, so I have to do it myself."
While she was sending the message, Gong Shiyu, who was on the verge of despair, seized an opportunity to run away. This was his only chance to survive. His father had abandoned him, and none of the people his father had called to support him. If he didn't run now, he would never have another chance to run!
He was, after all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if he couldn't fight Xie Jiaoyue head-on due to reasons such as Dao techniques, he wasn't entirely without a chance to escape.
The speed of escape depends purely on the level of cultivation and the accumulation of magical treasures. As the only son of the Grand Elder of the Gongshi Clan, his cultivation level is also higher than Xie Jiaoyue's. He can definitely escape if he wants to!
The powerful figures from various clans subtly shifted their positions, making way for Gongshi Yu in a somewhat ambiguous manner, a path that avoided offending either the Gongshi clan or the Qingyuan Sword Master.
Whatever happens after we leave here is none of their business; the two sides can just keep pulling each other along.
The Grand Elder of the Gongshi Clan immediately blocked Qingyuan Swordsman's path, preventing him from giving chase.
Although he abandoned his son, as a father, he still wanted to do his best in his small way.
As for Xie Jiaoyue catching up with Gong Shiyu? Impossible, there's no need to worry at all.
A golden light, like lightning, illuminated the entire space. A scream made everyone's eardrums ache. When the scream subsided, crimson blood splattered onto the tower's walls, and the smell of rust began to permeate the crowd.
Too fast. In the blink of an eye, Xie Jiaoyue, who was originally fighting Gong Shiyu to a standstill, actually killed Gong Shiyu.
Chu Xingjin, who was far away, was so frightened that he threw away the Spirit Communication Mirror he was holding.
