Chapter 762: Exposed
Wei Ruo's words had escalated the situation to a new level. If not handled properly, it would definitely cause unrest throughout the entire heavens.
You have to remember that Jing Ran sacrificed himself for the safety of the divine realm. Wei Ruo was Jing Ran's fiancée, practically a widow. She carried Jing Ran's glory with her.
If Weiruo was really wronged, then it would be difficult to resolve the matter peacefully.
Everyone couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Yaoxi and became worried about her situation.
Lu Yichen glanced at Wei Ruo and then said, "You know whether you have done it or not."
Wei Ruo was clearly on Zhong Nianyao's side, and a hint of hatred towards her flashed through her heart. However, she kept a bitter expression on her face. "Emperor, whether you believe it or not, I am innocent. I will not admit to anything I have never done."
Zhong Nianyao’s solemn vow and Wei Ruo’s bitter smile.
For a moment, everyone present didn't know who to believe.
"Actually, I'm curious about one thing." Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Wei Ruo, then continued, "Why did you absorb the spirit energy of those fairies? Your divine power hasn't increased, and it's even regressed. But now I've figured it out."
Weiruo was startled, but her expression remained calm. As she stood there, her eyes were clear, and she looked righteous. One couldn't help but wonder if she had been killed.
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Weiruo, do you know where you went wrong?" Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Weiruo, a meaningful smile on her lips, "You shouldn't have asked me out today."
"If you hadn't asked me out today and planned all this, you might not have exposed yourself. Weiruo, you've really only gotten yourself into trouble by doing this unnecessary thing!"
"I didn't do anything." Wei Ruo still insisted on this statement.
"You absorbed the spirit energy of those fairies to suppress the evil spirit in your body!"
After saying that, Zhong Nianyao attacked Weiruo without hesitation. Waves of divine power continuously struck Weiruo, showing no mercy. It looked as if she was going to kill her.
No one expected that such a sudden change would happen.
They looked at Yao Xi carefully and found that her face was calm. However, in contrast to her calm expression, her attack was extremely ruthless, as if she wanted to kill the other party.
However, as they watched, they felt something was amiss. Although Wei Ruo's strength wasn't as good as Yao Xi's, the difference couldn't be that big! Looking at Wei Ruo's appearance, it seemed her strength couldn't even match that of a Supreme Immortal.
The current situation does not allow them to think too much. If they continue like this, Wei Ruo will definitely be killed by Yao Xi.
Everyone wanted to step forward to stop it, but they found themselves firmly fixed in place. Not only could they not move forward to save people, but even to move their bodies was difficult.
Without even thinking, they knew who had done this. Besides Emperor Yichen, who else could have done this and frozen them all in place at the same time?
Weiruo kept dodging. She didn't know why Yaoxi suddenly attacked, but she couldn't resist at all. It wasn't that she didn't want to resist, but she simply couldn't.
During this period, although she had used the immortal power she had obtained from the immortals to suppress the rampant evil spirits, she had always been cautious in order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, and she did not dare to capture any of the immortals. The immortal power she had absorbed was only enough to suppress the evil spirits in her body.
If she used her divine power extensively now, the evil spirit in her body would be easily exposed.
If the Emperor knew what she had done, he would definitely not let her go. She absolutely could not let such a thing happen, so she kept dodging, but did not dare to confront Yao Xi directly.
Seeing Wei Ruo constantly dodging, Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged, but her movements became even more ruthless. She wanted to see how long Wei Ruo could hold out.
Weiruo felt that her dodging was becoming increasingly difficult, and finally she felt that she could not hold on any longer. However, Yaoxi's attacks did not stop.
Seeing that the fatal blow was about to fall on her, Wei Ruo could no longer hide and used her divine power to block the blow.
Seeing that Wei Ruo had used her own divine power, Zhong Nian Yao suddenly withdrew her attack, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked quietly at Wei Ruo who was lying on the ground in pain.
Everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events. They didn't understand why things had turned out like this in the end.
Yaoxi had withdrawn her attack, and the attack didn't hit Weiruo at all, but Weiruo was now in great pain.
The pale face and the bitten lower lip that was bleeding showed that Wei Ruo was not acting.
No one had any idea what was going on, but they had a vague feeling that the way things had developed to this point seemed a little strange.
The moment she saw Zhong Nianyao withdraw her attack, Wei Ruo was overwhelmed with regret. Facing that life-or-death moment, she couldn't control herself and used her divine power to resist.
As the divine power in her body began to circulate, the evil spirit could no longer be suppressed and continued to wreak havoc in her body.
The familiar feeling of pain came again. She wanted to endure it, afraid of being discovered by others. However, she still overestimated herself. That extreme pain was not something she could endure just because she wanted to.
In fact, the moment she used her divine power, she knew that she was finished.
Lu Yichen's cold eyes fell on Wei Ruo, without a trace of warmth in them, as if he were looking at a dead person. Or rather, in his eyes, Wei Ruo was now someone who had to die.
The evil spirit was the one that was separated from his body, so he was naturally the one who could feel it the most.
Therefore, when the evil spirit emerged from Wei Ruo, he immediately sensed it. Almost at the same time, he immediately knew that Wei Ruo was the culprit who had sowed discord between him and Zhong Nian Yao, causing them to separate for so many years.
He had said before that he would never let the person behind the scenes go. Now that he knew that Wei Ruo was the person, he wanted to kill her immediately.
