Chapter 868 Demonic Cultivator 13
Sect Master Qin: Take a deep breath, but I'm still so angry. Who would have thought that I, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, would not only fail to deal with a traitor among my disciples, but would also betray them myself?
And today he has made a fool of himself in front of so many outsiders!
He, as the sect leader, couldn't even hold his head up in front of his peers. His lifelong reputation was ruined because of Su Yue!
Fortunately, the First Elder and the Second Elder left quickly and returned quickly as well.
Soon, Su Yue was carried into the main hall.
The two elders had to carry the bed, because Su Yue was seriously injured and even the pills couldn't help her recover immediately.
"Sect Master, what is the meaning of this?"
"Suyue, I ask you, what did you do in the three quarters of an hour before the ceremony began?"
"Three quarters of an hour before the ceremony? I will naturally be on Wuji Peak! I will arrive at the scene half a quarter of an hour before the ceremony."
Shouldn't the palace be investigating spies? Why is the sect leader interrogating him?
"Then can you explain why someone saw you descend Wuji Peak three quarters before the ceremony?"
Su Yue smiled and said, "That's normal. Either that person remembered the time wrong, or he mistook someone else for someone else!"
"If one person is mistaken, that's possible, but several people saw you. Does that mean they were all mistaken?"
Su Yue finally panicked, "Sect Master, are you sure they're telling the truth?"
The sect leader of the Array Sect took out an array plate. "Sect Leader Qin, this is a newly developed retrospective array plate that can recall memories within two hours. Since no one believes what they say, let's use the array plate to see."
Previously, I, the sect leader, thought this thing was useless and worthless, but I never expected it to come in handy today.
If it weren't for the fact that the Chaotian Sect was looking for spies today, such a formation would indeed be useless.
In the past, when the demons launched an attack, it always lasted for days and nights. The array plate could only rewind for two hours, so what use was it?
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Qin hurriedly instructed the witnesses to each squeeze a drop of blood from their fingertips and drip it into the center of the array plate. When Sect Master Qin activated the array plate, a scene was indeed played through it.
Everything the three said matched what they had said before; not a single word was a lie. Venerable Su Yue had indeed appeared above.
Su Yue and Fu Miaoshan looked on in disbelief. Fu Miaoshan murmured, "How is this possible? My husband isn't that kind of person. He could never be a spy for the demon race!"
Only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are; Fu Miaoshan is certain that Su Yue is innocent.
"Do you still want to see, Sect Leader Qin? Isn't it already quite obvious?"
Su Yue's face was pale: "Look! That's not me!"
Even now, Sect Master Qin still held onto a sliver of hope. He would rather be one of the guests who came to the sect today than Su Yue, because that would be too humiliating.
However, to his disappointment, after Venerable Suyue dripped a drop of blood, the array plate immediately moved. Then, the array plate emitted a white light, and a scene appeared on the light screen. Venerable Suyue descended from Wuji Peak and headed straight for Jiyang Peak. He then knocked out the people of Jiyang Peak. His actions were extremely bold. Everyone guessed that he must have known that the Demon Clan was about to attack, so he didn't need to pretend.
After he came down from Jiyang Peak, he went to the marriage ceremony. What happened next is what everyone has witnessed.
Fu Miaoshan glanced discreetly in the direction of the Array Sect Master. The Young Master is truly amazing!
Fu Miaoshan glanced at him and then looked away. She walked to Su Yue's side, her bright eyes filled with tears. "Husband, you, you really..." She stopped mid-sentence and shook her head violently. "I don't believe it! This could never have been done by you, absolutely not! It must be a problem with this array plate!"
Sigh, it really is a problem with the array plate. She wasn't lying, but unfortunately nobody believes her!
"Sect Master of the Formation Sect": ...I know you admire me, but when you're doing something important, can you please stop staring at me?
Sect Master Qin was so angry that his teeth chattered. "Su Yue, you have truly disappointed me! Guards, cripple Su Yue's cultivation! Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, you shall carry out the execution yourself!"
Su Yue was unconvinced. After all, he really hadn't done it, but now he couldn't defend himself. If his cultivation was truly destroyed, what was the point of his life?
He was only injured, but his storage ring was still intact. He pulled Fu Miaoshan, tore open a teleportation talisman, and tried to sneak away.
However.
He didn't leave. The sect leaders had been on guard against him for a while and had directly sealed off the space.
“Suyue, if you hadn’t tried to escape just now, I could have made excuses for you. You didn’t do it.”
So, fifteen years ago, when you went down the mountain to find your traitorous disciple, you sided with the demons, right?
Su Yue: "I didn't, I really didn't!"
He was wronged. He was certain that he had no enmity with the sect leader of the Array Sect, and so did those disciples. But why did they see him in their memories, and why did such scenes appear in his own memories?
But in any case, it's true that he didn't do it, so the problem must lie with someone else!
He wanted the sect leader to investigate more thoroughly, but Sect Leader Qin was no longer willing to listen to his nonsense. "Hall Master Xing, make your move!"
With so many sect leaders and sect masters present, even if Su Yue was strong, he couldn't escape. In just a quarter of an hour, his cultivation was crippled and he was forced to kneel on the ground. His face visibly aged.
The once glorious and dignified Venerable Suyue has lost his former glory in an instant, leaving only an old body.
"Traitors to the sect deserve fifty lashes with the killing whip first. Let's begin!"
The head of the punishment hall personally wielded the whip, lashing people repeatedly. Fu Miaoshan was immediately pulled aside and restrained.
She was also a suspect because her husband had betrayed her.
Even if she doesn't look like it.
At first, Su Yue could still cry out for justice while being tortured, but later he couldn't even cry out for justice anymore. He was already injured, and then he was whipped with a whip that was filled with spiritual energy. He couldn't even withstand twenty lashes and fainted!
"Since he's unconscious, lock him in jail first. The remaining thirty lashes can be given when he wakes up."
In a situation like Su Yue's, he wouldn't know anything about the demons, and asking would be pointless. They wouldn't be foolish enough to tell him anything useful; they would only ask him to do things for them.
Therefore, these sect leaders did not expect to get any useful information from Su Yue.
Sect Master Qin personally took Su Yue's storage ring and used its contents to compensate the various sects. Over the years, he had traveled east and west with Fu Miaoshan, collecting many valuable items. Although the sects were dissatisfied, Chaotian Sect suffered greater losses and had to swallow their anger. They then left Chaotian Sect with their remaining disciples and returned to their respective sects.
...
In the middle of the night, Su Yue woke up to an unpleasant smell in the air.
The ground was extremely hard, and his body was in excruciating pain. It took him a while to realize what was happening.
He is currently in a dungeon.
What he didn't know was that this was the very dungeon where his fifth disciple, whom he had personally identified as a traitor, was imprisoned.
Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy emanated from the air, a black mist appeared, and a dark figure materialized outside the prison door.
"Who~" Su Yue's voice trembled. She had never imagined that such a voice would come out of her own mouth.
"Hahaha, my good master, it's only been fifteen years, and you've already forgotten your disciple?"
His disciple? The only disciple still alive was the fifth disciple who betrayed the sect, the little orphan he had personally taken in!
Thank you so much, Big Dipper and Jade Balance, for the 116 Qidian Coins!
