Ignoring the two elders who were jumping around, Di Xiu patted his body all over, took the bead from the tassel of the broken sword, flicked his finger and released a spiritual fire to temper it, then took the last two pieces of material from the corner of his original spatial magic treasure, integrated them into it, and drew in the power of stars. Before long, a sphere appeared.
Di Xiu asked, "Is it such a magical artifact?"
The two elders stopped their attacks, which were 100% ineffective, and stared in astonishment at the scene above the sphere. It was a picture of them, but they were fighting with two other elders.
They were unsure whether to ask him about forging weapons with his bare hands first, or about creating this fabricated image.
"What kind of tactic is this?"
When did you learn weapon crafting?
Di Xiu did not answer, but calmly asked, "Is this the kind of evidence?"
"Will you listen to my explanation now?"
After three consecutive "yes"s, the elders were speechless for a moment. The Third Elder suppressed the turmoil surging within him and said, "Yes."
The Supreme Elder's eyes gleamed, and his figure vanished from the spot, reappearing in front of where Emperor Xiu had originally been. It was said to be "originally" because Emperor Xiu had flashed to the side the moment he noticed him.
"Ahem, Xiao Lingchuan, is that right? Would you like to become my disciple? Your weapon-refining technique is too simplistic and crude. I value talent, so I'll give you a chance to become my disciple."
Third Elder: "..."
If 001 were awake, he would probably remark that this is the treatment a protagonist should receive.
The Third Elder took a deep breath and said, "So you mean that Li Chen committed perjury?"
Emperor Xiu did not answer, but instead asked, "Do any of you know of any methods to escape from the lightning strikes?"
“That’s impossible.” The one who said this was the Supreme Elder. “All things in the world are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao. When the tribulation lightning descends, one either breaks through or dies. There is absolutely no possibility of escape.”
The path of cultivation is fraught with danger. The major and minor tribulations alone can eliminate 60 to 70% of cultivators. If tribulations were so easy to escape, why would the many spiritual cultivators of the Xuanling Continent be so terrified of them?
"Has Li Chen's natal soul lamp gone out?"
What do you mean by this?
Emperor Xiu shifted his gaze to the dozen or so disciples who were as quiet as chickens: "Why don't you let the disciples behind you speak? Perhaps they will be more convincing than me."
The Third Elder's gaze fell on his eldest disciple, and he said in a deep voice, "Lin Yushi, tell me quickly."
Lin Yushi, also known as the fifth junior brother by Li Chen and the fifth senior brother by the other disciples.
"Reporting to Master, we, along with our eldest brother, have been pursuing Xiao Lingchuan all the way through Xizhou and Cangzhou to the Zongheng Mountains. Our eldest brother ordered us to split into three groups to search..."
Lin Yushi spoke frankly, admitting what he didn't know and never misleading the elders. He hesitated for a moment before adding, "After returning to the sect, I sent a telepathic message to my junior brother in the Bright Lamp Hall and learned that our senior brother's 'soul lamp is stable and there are no abnormalities'."
Those who have the ability to cultivate to the Spirit Emperor level and even sit in the position of elder of the number one sect are not truly fools, and they quickly understood.
Why can't someone who has the means to deceive the Heavenly Dao also have the ability to assassinate a Spirit Venerable?
Furthermore, if Xiao Lingchuan was capable of ambushing and severely injuring Venerable Yuqing, then Li Chen, who had defeated him, would also be a suspect.
The claim that the sacred object was stolen was based on the recording mirror that Li Chen presented as evidence. Since the recording mirror can be faked, this evidence cannot be taken seriously either.
