Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jingfeng frowned slightly.
A hundred years ago? A spy for the Demonic Sect?
He had a vague feeling that there was a great secret hidden in these words, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by that?"
However, before Mo Yan could speak, Daoist Qianhe interrupted with a cold laugh, "Sect Master, you need not pay any attention to this. This demonic vine is tainted with the blood and energy of evil spirits and has already lost its mind! Whatever it says is just mad ramblings, or even attempts to sow discord and disturb the minds of our righteous path! Sect Master, you must not be fooled. The most urgent task is to completely suppress and kill it as soon as possible, lest things get complicated!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan burst into laughter again within the sword formation, "Old dog Qianhe... what are you afraid of? You should know best whether I'm crazy or not! Or... has your master given you a death order? If I don't die today, you'll be the one who dies when we get back?!"
Daoist Qianhe remained unfazed, calmly stating, "Even on the verge of death, you still resort to spreading heresy! Do you think we righteous people are fools?"
"Whether she's foolish or not... who can really say for sure?"
"..."
Ouyang Jingfeng's gaze swept back and forth between Mo Yan and Daoist Qianhe, his mind filled with many questions.
He did feel that Daoist Qianhe's behavior today was a bit strange, as if... he had anticipated that the demonic vines would attack.
But Mo Yan's words did indeed sound like a dying attempt to sow discord, making it difficult to discern the truth from the falsehood.
Moreover... even if what she said is true, and Thousand Crane Daoist really is some kind of demonic sect's spy, it's unlikely that I would take action against him on that basis.
After a moment's consideration, he still felt it was more prudent to resolve the immediate threat as soon as possible.
Since it is an indisputable fact that Mo Teng committed murder, other matters can be investigated later.
He slowly raised his hand, preparing to join forces with the six great sword saints to unleash the maximum power of the sword formation for the final refining and suppression!
However, just as his palm was about to fall—
"Sect Master, wait a minute—!!!"
A clear voice suddenly rang out from the Sword-Asking Platform below, interrupting the final judgment.
Upon hearing the sound, everyone's eyes turned downwards.
Shen Yunhao took a big step forward. Although his face was still pale, his eyes shone brightly and were filled with determination!
He took a deep breath and called out loudly to the sky:
"Junior Shen Yunhao has something to report! I beg the Pavilion Master to postpone the execution and hear my words!"
This sudden, loud interruption was like throwing a boulder into a calming pond, immediately provoking different reactions.
Nie Qingshuang was the first to get angry.
She felt like her nerves were about to snap today. She was already dealing with all sorts of troubles, and now that a magical vine had finally come out to take the blame, and it seemed like this mess was about to be resolved, this kid had to jump out again!
What on earth is going on here...?
In the past, she would have jumped out to reprimand them, but after experiencing so much today, and with things always going in the opposite direction from her expectations, she was a little hesitant to be the first to stand up and refute them.
Ouyang Jingfeng's heart stirred. He already had doubts, and now that he saw Shen Yunhao, this young man who always brought some surprises, step forward again, his raised hand paused slightly, and he actually stopped activating the final killing move of the formation for the time being.
Seeing this, Daoist Qianhe was not alarmed but delighted. In his opinion, the Demon Vine was doomed to die today. If Shen Yunhao dared to speak up for her at this time, he would be courting death. He could also take this opportunity to drag Guanghan Palace down with him!
But the most violent reaction came from the center of the sword formation...
The girl's petite body trembled violently the moment she heard Shen Yunhao's voice!
The deep purple pupils, which had remained unmoved even in the face of life and death, suddenly contracted, filled with disbelief and... a trace of panic!
Shen Yunhao is here too?!
Ouyang Jingfeng remained silent for a moment, then fixed his imposing gaze on Shen Yunhao: "What do you have to report? Tell me!"
Shen Yunhao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Reporting to Pavilion Master Ouyang! I have heard of this evil soul blood energy. It is an evil creature of the Blood Sect that specializes in eroding minds and controlling demons. This means that there must be a shocking scheme by the Blood Sect behind today's disaster!"
He paused, looked at Ouyang Jingfeng, and offered his most crucial suggestion: "This junior may have a way to try to remove the evil spirit blood energy from her body! Once the blood energy is removed and her mind is cleared, we may be able to extract information about the Blood Sect's conspiracy from her... If this junior is unable to remove it, then killing her will not be a loss. I urge Pavilion Master Ouyang to reconsider!"
"Can you cleanse yourself of evil spirits and blood?"
Ouyang Jingfeng looked surprised.
He had only recently heard of this evil spirit's blood energy, and knew only that it had miraculous effects on demons and was extremely strange, but knew very little about its specifics and how to counter it.
This young man in front of me actually claims he can remove it?
“Yes!” Shen Yunhao nodded firmly. “I am fortunate to have the Northern Sea Dragon Clan temporarily lend me the Vast Sea Heart, which has a very strong effect on suppressing and eliminating this kind of blood energy. I am willing to take the risk and give it a try!”
"The Heart of the Vast Ocean, a priceless treasure of Beihai?!"
"It was on him?!"
These words shocked not only Ouyang Jingfeng, but also all the high-ranking officials in the sky and countless cultivators below.
The strength and foundation of the North Sea Dragon Palace are in no way inferior to the seven major sects of the righteous path. The Vast Sea Heart is an unparalleled treasure ranked ninth on the list of divine artifacts, and can be called one of the most important treasures of the North Sea!
Such a precious treasure is entrusted to a young human boy?
Could it be that... those rumors about Shen Yunhao simultaneously winning the hearts of two peerless beauties, the Fairy of the Moon Palace and the Seventh Princess of the North Sea Dragon Clan, were true?!
Moreover, judging from this, it's probably not just about winning her heart. Being able to borrow the Heart of the Vast Ocean shows that this kid has already gained high recognition and trust from the officials of the North Sea Dragon Palace!
The gazes of everyone looking at Shen Yunhao gradually became complicated, filled with shock, envy, and deep apprehension.
Now it seems this kid... has an ridiculously powerful background!
Faced with such a reaction, Shen Yunhao sighed helplessly and silently apologized to Zhu Xuan.
Forced by circumstances, in order to save Mo Yan, he had no choice but to rely on the power of the North Sea Dragon Palace to increase the weight of his words.
Ouyang Jingfeng's eyes flickered as he glanced at the other high-ranking members of various sects in the air: "Fellow Daoists, what are your thoughts on this?"
Most people remained silent, as the matter was of great importance and involved the North Sea Dragon Palace, and they were unwilling to express their opinions easily.
After a moment of silence, only Gu Xiuwen of Piaomiao Pavilion spoke with a faint smile: "Pavilion Master Ouyang, as a businessman, I think what this young man said makes sense. The matter of the Demonic Sect is related to the safety of the world. If we can take this opportunity to dig deeper into their conspiracy, it will undoubtedly be of greater value. Even if we fail, we will only maintain the status quo and suffer no loss."
Ouyang Jingfeng nodded in agreement and said to Shen Yunhao, "Alright! In that case, you may go and give it a try! But be careful, this demonic vine is extremely ferocious. Even if you are subdued, you must not let your guard down. Do not get too close when clearing your blood energy!"
