What should we do next?
"wait!"
"Wait for what?"
"Wait until the Chaotian Sect finds out who the traitor is!"
Ning Yan eats everything, she just doesn't want to be taken advantage of!
Didn't Su Yue say she was a traitor who sided with the Demon Clan?
When he becomes the traitor, she wants to see how the Chaotian Sect will deal with him, and whether Su Yue will obediently surrender.
How did I perform today?
Ning Yan nodded: "Very good. They did whatever they were told and didn't do anything unnecessary. They deserve praise."
"Then, Young Master, please reward me tonight."
Ning Yan rolled her eyes: "Aren't we rewarding each other every day?"
"That doesn't count. I want to spend the night with you alone! Has the young master forgotten how long it's been since we were alone together?"
Ning Yan: ...If I remember correctly, wasn't it this guy who forced his way in the first time he messed things up? Well, now he's unhappy about it.
...
At this time, inside the Chaotian Sect.
Today's events are of utmost importance. Six sect leaders died in the Chaotian Sect, and many disciples from other sects also perished in this great battle. The opening of the Chaotian Sect's grand formation was the primary cause of this outcome, so Sect Leader Qin must give all sects an explanation.
At this moment, in the main hall, besides the elders of the Chaotian Sect, there were also representatives from other sects sitting in the hall, but their expressions were not very good.
Finally, a disciple came to report, "Sect Master, it has been found out that it was the people from Wuji Peak who opened the sect's protective formation."
Although today is Venerable Suyue's marriage ceremony, with many guests gathered, only those with invitations are allowed to enter. Those invitations are the keys to entering the sect, allowing safe entry without needing to open the great formation.
Therefore, the sect's protective formation must have been opened by someone working together from the inside, but none of the people present would believe that the formation was opened by someone from Wuji Peak!
Sect Master Qin angrily asked, "Who is from Wuji Peak?"
The disciple glanced at the sect leader: "It's Venerable Su Yue!"
Fu Miaoshan was the first to speak up because she was anxious, "Impossible! My husband would never do such a thing!"
Su Yue was injured by the Demon King and is currently recuperating at Wuji Peak. She is attending the event in place of her husband.
“But Madam, someone saw His Excellency with their own eyes at the time, and it wasn’t just one person.”
Sect Leader Qin said angrily, "Bring all the people up here. I will interrogate them personally."
Soon, a string of people were brought into the main hall, where Sect Master Qin interrogated them one by one in front of all the elders.
The first witness.
"This disciple is a sweeping disciple on Wuji Peak. The peak master left Wuji Peak three quarters of an hour before the ceremony began, and the other disciples do not know about it."
"This disciple is in charge of taking care of the spirit beasts that disciples from various sects ride today. One of the cranes secretly flew away. This disciple went to chase after it and saw Peak Master Wuji hurriedly heading towards Jiyang Peak."
The control formation is located at Jiyang Peak.
"The disciples were guards of Jiyang Peak. About 45 minutes before the ceremony began, all the disciples fainted."
When the disciple woke up again, he saw the Peak Master of Suyue Peak walk out of the main hall that controlled the formation. The disciple dared not make a sound, for fear of being silenced.
About half an incense stick's time after he left, he tried to warn the sect, but the disciple's soul was injured and he couldn't move at all. He finally regained physical mobility about half an hour later, but just as he reached the plaza, the demons attacked. The disciple's strength was too weak, and he only managed to survive by hiding to the side.
Although he had reached the Golden Core stage, among the people in the hall, he could only be described as having very low strength.
Fu Miaoshan said, "He's talking nonsense. With my husband's abilities, there's no way he could make this person wake up halfway through."
The others agreed with this statement. Su Yue had been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years, so dealing with a group of Golden Core disciples would be too easy for her.
Unexpectedly, the disciple took out a protective magic artifact from his robes. "Reporting to the Sect Master, this item was obtained by me during a sect mission when I was in the Foundation Establishment stage. It was found in a small secret realm. I have never known its use, but I have kept it with me because this jade pendant is really beautiful."
However, when I woke up after fainting today, I found a crack on it. I suspect this jade pendant can block spiritual attacks, but the person who attacked me was too powerful, so I could only do so after fainting and waking up.
Sect Master Qin reached out and grabbed the jade pendant, which flew far into his hand. He examined it carefully and then handed it to the elders and representatives of various sects below him for inspection. In the end, everyone confirmed that the jade pendant could indeed block the effect of divine sense attacks, and the crack was indeed new.
"Master Fu, do you have anything else to say?"
Fu Miaoshan plopped down in a chair. "Impossible, impossible! How could he collude with the demons?"
Sect Leader Qin was so angry he almost crushed the armrests of his chair!
He thought and thought, but Su Yue had no opportunity to come into contact with the demons. The only problem was that he disappeared for a year when he was about to deal with his fifth disciple.
"Perfect timing, Master Fu, I have something to ask you."
How did you first meet Su Yue?
You'd better tell the truth.
Fu Miaozhen: "Why would I lie? Our acquaintance hasn't broken any laws."
Fourteen years ago, in June, I was embroidering at home when my husband accidentally fell into our yard. I was terrified; I had never seen anyone fall from the sky before.
But he remained unconscious, and I was afraid of causing his death, so I asked my brother to invite a doctor to treat him. It took him more than two months to fully recover.
"If the sect leader doesn't believe me, feel free to go to my hometown to verify. If there's a single falsehood, may I be struck by lightning."
Everything she said was true, and while she said she would be struck by lightning, she didn't say she herself would be struck by lightning.
Furthermore, since cultivators are bound to be struck by lightning every now and then if they strive for advancement, this vow is essentially meaningless.
Sect Leader: How come this is completely different from what Su Yue told him?
He remembered clearly what Su Yue had said: The entrance to the Demon Realm was heavily guarded, and after waiting for a long time, they were unable to enter and had to return to their sect first.
Fu Miaoshan was referring to his serious injury and fall into the Fu family's courtyard. Even if he was injured and couldn't defeat the demons, the sect wouldn't suspect him. Why was he lying?
For a moment, Sect Master Qin thought about all sorts of things and even came up with a reasonable explanation: Su Yue went to the Demon Clan to find someone, but unfortunately encountered a powerful Demon Clan member who was captured and severely tortured. Fearing death, he agreed to become an inside agent for the Demon Clan and then used that excuse to appease him after returning.
"Go, bring Su Yue up here!"
This time, the First Elder and the Second Elder went in person. After all, even if they were seriously injured, their cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was not something an ordinary disciple could handle.
The faces of the sect leaders and representatives in the hall were all grim. "Sect Leader Qin, even Su Yue could be bribed by the demons. Could there be other demon spies in your sect?"
The Hehuan Sect Master sneered, "Since even the peak master has betrayed us, I'm afraid the disciples aren't much better. Sect Master Qin, why don't you interrogate them all together? Otherwise, we might be wiped out by the Demon Clan one day without even knowing it." (End of Chapter)
