Chapter 119 Using an array to test if she is Ye Li
As the whip crackling with electricity lashed down, Ye Li reached her limit of patience.
He channeled spiritual energy into his palm, intending to retaliate.
However, before the whip could land on her, it was struck back by a powerful spiritual force.
"Jiang Li is my disciple, who dares to use torture on her!"
It is Elder Song.
Elder Song has been searching for Jiang Li ever since she disappeared.
She heard today that Jiang Li had been brought back by Master Qingyu, so she rushed over immediately, only to find this scene before her eyes.
"Jiang Li is my outer disciple. Isn't Master Qingyu overstepping his bounds?"
Elder Song's words were so impolite that Master Qingyu's face immediately turned cold.
Su Ying'er noticed and immediately spoke up in defense, "Elder Song, how can you speak to Master like that?"
Elder Song checked Ye Li over and, seeing that she was unharmed, had a chance to retort to Su Ying'er, "Then where do you, as a disciple, get the audacity to speak to this elder like that!"
"I……"
Su Ying'er choked up.
Elder Song continued to question, "Besides, am I wrong? Jiang Li is my outer disciple. Why did you take her away without even saying goodbye! And a whole group of you bullying one person, is that really meaningful!"
Her voice was extremely loud, making Ye Li's ears ring, but her heart felt incredibly warm.
Not only because Elder Song saved her, but also because she saw the injustice she had suffered.
People are really strange. Just now she only felt angry, but now, after hearing Elder Song's words, her eyes started to sting.
After Elder Song finished scolding them, he turned around and saw Ye Li's red eyes, and felt even more that she had suffered a great injustice.
She pulled Ye Li aside and said, "Let's go."
"stop!"
Qingyu Zhenren's words did not stop Elder Song; she continued to do as she pleased, pulling Ye Li away.
With a wave of his wide sleeves, Master Qingyu unleashed a surge of spiritual energy. The vermilion doors of the main hall slammed shut with a deafening, chilling roar.
In this atmosphere, the entire main hall seemed to grow colder.
Elder Song lost his temper and turned to say, "Does True Person Qingyu intend to lock me up as well?"
Master Qingyu stared at Ye Li's back, his voice unreadable, "Do you know who this person beside you is?"
"How could I not know? She is my outer disciple, Jiang Li."
Master Qingyu's gaze seemed to pierce through Ye Li, and his voice was deep, "Jiang Li has long been possessed by her. Underneath this body is Ye Li, who is colluding with evil spirits."
Ye Li?
Elder Song frowned. Although True Person Qingyu was usually a bit arrogant, he was not a liar.
Could he be telling the truth?
Su Ying'er seized the opportunity to chime in, "Yes, Elder, we all know about this and can all testify. Senior Sister is a member of our Lotus Sect, and this matter is also within our Lotus Sect, so we won't trouble the Elder."
Lu Ziting: "That's right, please don't publicize this matter, Elder."
Elder Song frowned as he saw that they all gave the same explanation.
Seeing this, the warmth that had just gathered around Ye Li cooled down again. Based on her past experience, with so many people speaking with such certainty, Elder Song would never believe her again.
Just as she was about to ask Elder Song to go back first, he suddenly turned around.
He asked seriously, "What do you have to say about this?"
Ye Li was stunned. She hadn't expected that even with so many people pointing fingers at her, Elder Song would still believe her and give her a chance.
She closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I neither possessed nor was possessed. It's all just their side of the story."
"I knew it! I wouldn't misjudge someone!"
Elder Song immediately felt emboldened and said loudly, "Did you hear that! My disciple said she didn't, so she didn't."
Even Su Ying'er was speechless with her confident tone. After a moment of reaction, she said, "Words are no proof. Elder Song, how can you be so unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
"Words are no proof? So you have evidence? Show it to me."
Faced with Elder Song's outstretched hand, Su Ying'er choked up.
They have no evidence; it's all just their speculation.
Elder Song scoffed, "What, you don't have any evidence either? Then your words are just empty promises! Wait until you find the evidence!"
"you……"
That's enough.
Master Qingyu stopped Su Ying'er, his face ashen, and said slowly and deliberately, "If you want evidence, go to the Heavenly Mandate Hall and you'll know."
-
The Heavenly Mandate Hall is located at the summit of Tianmen Mountain, and further up is the sect leader's immortal abode.
The spiritual energy here is incredibly abundant. Looking down from here, the surrounding mountains are shrouded in an ethereal mist, making it a veritable paradise on earth.
However, none of the group was in the mood to appreciate it; each of them had their own thoughts.
Su Ying'er's feelings were particularly complicated. If Jiang Li was Ye Li, then she had finally managed to get rid of her, and now she had to start all over again.
But if Jiang Li isn't Ye Li, then Wen Yao's deep affection for her would be a problem.
As they arrived at the Hall of Destiny, Master Qingyu's cold, star-like eyes swept over Ye Li.
He thought she would panic and beg for mercy, but she remained expressionless, not even glancing at him, as if she truly didn't recognize him anymore.
Seeing that no one spoke, Elder Song became impatient. "Master Qingyu, what exactly are you up to? The Heavenly Pivot Spirit Venerable of the Heavenly Fate Hall has been traveling for hundreds of years and has not returned. Even if we come here, we won't be able to find out anything."
Master Qingyu said indifferently, "The Heavenly Pivot Spirit Venerable is not here, but the formation is still there, isn't it?"
Elder Song froze for a few seconds, incredulous, "Are you going to use the Spirit Mirror Illusion Array?!"
Legend has it that this magic array was created by the patriarch using his own spiritual consciousness as a guide; it is incredibly powerful, but also extremely dangerous.
If a Daoist cultivator who has been possessed enters, he will be immediately shattered by that powerful spiritual energy, and his soul will be scattered.
Even if they weren't possessed, their chances of survival were slim.
Unless there are extremely special circumstances, no one would come here to test.
Elder Song wasn't unaware of the formation, but she hadn't expected True Person Qingyu to be so ruthless. Without a second thought, she stopped her, saying, "No! This formation is so dangerous. Jiang Li is only at the Qi Refining stage; if she goes in, she might not be able to come out. I absolutely won't allow it!"
Su Ying'er tried her best to persuade her, "But only in this way can we know if Jiang Li is our senior sister. Otherwise, it's not fair to Jiang Li if this matter remains unclear."
Elder Song: "You make it sound so easy! If Jiang Li goes in and dies, what use is justice to her? She'll just have to burn paper money for him!"
"..."
While everyone was arguing, Ye Li remained silent.
She neither said she would go in nor that she wouldn't; she simply stared intently at Master Qingyu, not missing a single detail.
Qingyu Zhenren firmly believes that she possessed Jiang Li's body.
In other words, from his perspective, if she entered this formation, she would inevitably be annihilated.
She had given up all hope for Master Qingyu. He could even ignore her death, so what else could she expect?
But if she goes in, then Master Qingyu will not only ignore her, but will personally send her to her death.
Is he really going to do this?
