In short, treat them as they treat you.
The Sword Pavilion Sect Master's face turned pale, then white, then pale again.
He knew that Chu Hongluan had probably overheard their argument long ago.
This also means that the Sword Pavilion has completely offended everyone.
This is a Mahayana period! A Mahayana period indeed!
There are only three Mahayana practitioners in the entire world!
One of them is Penglai, which has always been a neutral party!
A sword sect member who is clearly on good terms with Chu Hongluan!
The last one is Chu Hongluan herself!
Since their ancestor ascended to immortality, no one in their Sword Pavilion has broken through to the Great Ascension stage! Yet Chu Hongluan is a formidable sword cultivator. It's no exaggeration to say that she, alone, can sweep through the entire Sword Sect!
The situation has changed.
Now that things have come to this, he can only believe that what Mo Yu said is true. Today, he will use the power of the other six sects to completely crush Chu Hongluan for the crime of betraying the enemy!
Otherwise, Jian Ge will definitely suffer the consequences in the future!
"No need for further words. If you truly have a clear conscience, dare you allow me to test you with the Demon-Snatching Spell?!"
"On what grounds?" Chu Hongluan curled her red lips and unleashed the pressure of a Mahayana stage cultivator. "Without any evidence or evidence, just empty words, you say you'll test me, and you decide to test me? You old rogue, you're being far too domineering."
Her imposing aura pressed down on the entire Sword Pavilion.
The Sword Pavilion Sect Master exerted all his strength to resist, barely managing to maintain the dignity of a sect leader and avoid kneeling down on the spot.
But behind him, a group of people were already lying prone.
Even the male lead, Mo Yu, was forced to kneel on one knee. He only managed to stay upright because his long sword was deeply embedded in the ground. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and he looked utterly disheveled. He could only stare at Chu Hongluan with red eyes and a look of humiliation.
The Sword Pavilion Sect Master was seething with hatred and could only turn to other sects for help: "Island Master Yuezheng! Sect Master of the Blade Sect! Are you just going to let Chu Hongluan bully my Blade Sect?!"
The leader of the Sword Sect was called out by name. He looked up at the sky, then at the ground, left and right, pretending not to hear.
This put pressure on Lezheng Chang'an.
Le Zheng Chang'an glanced at the Sword Sect Master with a hint of resentment, then hesitated.
To be honest, he secretly believed in Chu Hongluan.
However, with both sides sticking to their own versions of events, Chu Hongluan's direct use of her cultivation level to suppress others and trample the entire Sword Pavilion's reputation underfoot is ultimately a bit too blatant.
So he carefully considered his words and was about to speak when the lady of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion cut him off first.
"It is clearly the Sword Pavilion Sect Master who insulted my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion first! Open your eyes and see clearly! The traitors you keep pointing out, the ones who will brand their foreheads with shame, are an elder of my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the future heir of my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion!"
"Does the Lady of the Pavilion intend to protect her own?"
The Sword Pavilion Sect Master was about to unleash a torrent of curses.
"That's not right. Knowing that someone close to you has made a mistake and still covering it up is called protecting your own. What I'm doing now is called—supporting someone."
Le Zheng Chang'an was increasingly troubled. The conflict had now escalated to a point where it was between the two sects. If he didn't step in to act as a peacemaker, the situation would truly spiral out of control.
"Please calm down, gentlemen. May I say a few words of fairness?"
Lezheng Chang'an took a deep breath and stepped out.
Immediately, everyone's attention turned to her. Chu Hongluan was quite accommodating and withdrew her oppressive aura with a flick of her hand.
Yue Zheng Chang'an nodded gratefully to Chu Hongluan, who returned his gaze with a look that seemed to say, "Please begin your performance."
The members of the Sword Pavilion, having survived the ordeal, lay sprawled on the ground, gasping for breath, their fierce gazes fixed on Chu Hongluan!
Chu Hongluan seemed to sense something, and glanced back at them. The people immediately lowered their heads, fearing that she would cause trouble again.
"Ahem, first of all, Young Master Mo's questions have some merit, but they are indeed insufficient to convict Elder Chu. Since he cannot be convicted, the matter of using the interrogation technique 'Demon-Snatching Spell' is also nonsense..."
Is this what you call fair? Isn't this taking sides?
"I said! If the Demon-Slaying Spell proves their innocence after its activation, I, Mo Yu, am willing to atone with my death!"
Mo Yu roared hoarsely.
"this……"
Le Zheng Chang'an was also in a dilemma. After all, Mo Yu was the chief disciple of the Sword Pavilion and had some prestige in the cultivation world. He was willing to risk his life to find the traitor. If he insisted on smoothing things over, he would probably not be able to convince the public.
Once everyone left the wilderness, rumors spread and became increasingly uncontrollable.
But if Chu Hongluan was truly wronged and humiliated, the life of Shan Moyu alone could not quell her rage...
Just as she was thinking this, Chu Hongluan spoke:
"Atone with your death? What's your life worth?"
"You! You're nothing but a brand! Do you expect my entire Sword Pavilion to compensate for you?!"
A crimson glint seemed to flicker in Chu Hongluan's eyes as she looked down at Mo Yu with icy cruelty: "I don't want your life, nor do I want that damned Sword Pavilion behind you. I just want to use the Demon-Slaying Spell to test you first, to see if you've been blinded by demonic energy!"
"Why should I!" Mo Yu leaned on his sword and stood up abruptly, his emotions instantly flaring up: "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated.
Chu Hongluan just looked at him with a half-smile: "So you knew too."
Mo Yu's face paled. He felt as if everyone was staring at him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable and almost unable to stand. In desperation, he turned to the Sword Pavilion Sect Master: "Sect Master! Your disciple's judgment is absolutely correct! Just use the Demon-Slaying Spell to verify! They will surely be exposed! I guarantee it with my life!"
"Enough, Young Master Mo, please stop saying such hurtful things."
A young and refined voice.
From Penglai's group, a handsome young man slowly stepped forward. Looking at Mo Yu, he said:
"Risking one's life is nothing extraordinary. Young Master Mo dares to do it, and I am not afraid to do it either."
The young man's expression remained as gentle as ever, yet it carried an undeniable force; every word he uttered was clear and resolute.
"I, Feng Sili, am willing to swear on my life that Elder Chu and Young Master Liu are absolutely not people who would collude with the Demon Clan. If they do indeed commit treason in the future, I will atone with my death."
Chu Hongluan and Liu Jinghong exchanged a glance, both somewhat taken aback.
Even Yue Zheng Chang'an hadn't expected his disciple to trust Chu Hongluan and the others so much, when they were clearly just nodding acquaintances...
Following Feng Sili, another thin young man stepped forward. He was a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and one of the disciples who had just descended into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
"I, Xu Zhiyang, am willing to guarantee with my life that Elder Chu and Young Master Liu are absolutely not people who would collude with the Demon Clan. If they do indeed commit treason in the future, I will atone with my death."
If one exists, the other will follow.
Secondly, it spread like wildfire, becoming uncontrollable.
"I, Gu Mingyue, guarantee it with my life..."
"I, Xu Tianze, guarantee it with my life..."
"I, Meng Lian, swear on my life..."
