Liu Feng sneered and stared directly at Mo Shengjie: "Young Master Mo, since you keep saying that I stole the Cloud Sea Pearl, then I want to ask you, why are you so sure? Could it be that you orchestrated all of this yourself?"
Mo Shengjie's heart skipped a beat, and he coldly snorted, "Don't try to argue! The Cloud Sea Pearl is the most precious treasure of our Laoshan Sect. Although it has been recovered, you cannot use this excuse to justify your actions."
Tong Miao spoke up at the opportune moment: "Since the evidence is questionable, the Laoshan Sect should not rush to convict us. If they continue to act willfully, Wudang will not allow it, and cultivators throughout the world will be disheartened."
Upon hearing this, some elders of the Laoshan Sect exchanged glances, their expressions subtly changing. If this matter was indeed a frame-up, hastily forcing Liu Feng to confess might damage the reputation of the Laoshan Sect.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Mo Shengjie's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Since everyone has doubts, then let Liu Feng prove his innocence. The loss of our Laoshan Sect's most treasured artifact cannot simply be left unresolved!"
Liu Feng's gaze turned slightly cold as he slowly said, "Very well, since you insist on an explanation, then I will give you one!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward, his aura suddenly surged, and a powerful spiritual force surged out.
In that instant, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone felt a heavy pressure!
"Peak of the Qi Gathering Realm?! No... his spiritual energy... how can it be so profound!"
"He had been hiding his cultivation level all along!"
All the cultivators were shocked. No one expected that a previously unknown young cultivator would possess such cultivation!
Liu Feng brought his two fingers together, and his spiritual power surged. In an instant, a complex and profound rune was rapidly inscribed in the void.
"Soul Shadow Technique - Time Reversal Mark!"
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to this rare spell, and some people muttered to themselves, "Soul Shadow Technique? I've never heard of it before."
"Buzz—"
A dazzling spiritual light gathered, the air distorted, and a blurry image slowly emerged—it was the figure of a disciple of Laoshan!
Everyone held their breath and watched as the disciple sneaked into Liu Feng's room in the early morning and placed the Cloud Sea Pearl inside.
The hall was deathly silent. Mo Shengjie's face was ashen, and the disciple was even more pale, his voice trembling as he said, "This...this is impossible! I..."
"Still not admitting it?" Liu Feng smiled slightly, raised his finger, and the image trembled slightly, revealing a wisp of spiritual energy fluctuation.
Upon closer inspection, everyone was astonished to discover that the wisp of spiritual energy... was exactly the same as that of Mo Shengjie!
For a moment, the cultivators looked at each other, their expressions complicated.
"It was actually... Mo Shengjie who personally instructed him?"
"This is irrefutable evidence!"
The elders of the Laoshan Sect had ashen faces, while the officials from the Celestial Bureau, the Daoist Records, and representatives from various sects remained silent.
At this moment, Liu Feng stood with his hands behind his back and questioned, "Mo Shengjie, now, what do you have to say?"
Mo Shengjie's expression was uncertain, his fists clenched, and he stared at Liu Feng for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed!
"Heh... As expected of the person who won over Fairy Yu's heart, I underestimated you."
Liu Feng's gaze turned icy: "You admit it?"
Mo Shengjie lightly patted his sleeve, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "Admit? Admit what?"
He continued, "Your ability to conjure an image using the Soul Shadow Technique is indeed impressive, but what does that prove? It only shows that someone deliberately framed you, but who exactly is this person, and have you seen them with your own eyes?"
"you--"
Tong Miao raised an eyebrow, almost losing his composure from Mo Shengjie's sophistry, but remembering that Liu Feng was present, he forcibly suppressed his impulse.
