Just as Ouyang Jingfeng hesitated, the black-robed woman from Piaomiao Pavilion, who had been standing quietly behind Gu Xiuwen, suddenly let out a light laugh with a hint of amusement.
“Sect Master Ouyang, they are both willing to give and receive. They have clearly stated that they are siblings with deep affection and want to die together. Why are you still so insensitive?”
His gaze, hidden beneath the black robe, swept over Shen Yunhao and Mo Yan with a hint of mockery.
"Why not... let's help this unfortunate brother and sister get together and form a good relationship? Wouldn't that be better?"
Ouyang Jingfeng's gaze shifted slightly as he gave the woman in black a deep look. After a moment of silence, he turned to Nie Qingshuang beside him and asked, "I wonder what Palace Master Nie's opinion is?"
He still hoped that Nie Qingshuang could step forward and take this trouble away.
Nie Qingshuang, who was still in a daze after accepting Han Haixin, felt a mix of emotions upon hearing this and was at a loss for what to do.
Forcibly taking him away might backfire, while letting him enter the battle would be tantamount to watching him die...
Just as she hesitated, Murong Xi smiled sweetly, stepped forward, and spoke before Nie Qingshuang could. Her voice was soft and charming, yet carried a sense of order:
"Pavilion Master Ouyang, fellow Daoists," she said with a smile, glancing around the room, "in my opinion, the process of releasing the demonic vines is still unclear, and there may be other hidden circumstances. To convict someone based solely on this child's words would be too hasty. Today, almost all the high-ranking members of the seven righteous sects are gathered here, making this the best opportunity to investigate the whole story thoroughly, so as to avoid future gossip that we, the top immortal sects, have turned black into white, which would surely chill the hearts of all cultivators in the world."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Qianhe immediately jumped out and retorted, "Palace Master Murong, you are mistaken! Everyone witnessed the demonic vines injuring people! The remaining fragments of demonic vines below are irrefutable proof! How could this be false? Can anyone refute it? As for this brat..."
He then changed the subject, saying, "If his release of the demonic vine was truly unintentional, a mistake made by a young man with limited knowledge who accidentally triggered the seal, then it is understandable, and perhaps he could be given a lighter punishment. However, the scourge of the demonic vine must be eradicated!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Xi's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes sharpened slightly as she looked at Daoist Qianhe: "Fellow Daoist Qianhe, why are you in such a hurry? None of us have said that this demonic vine is innocent. We just want to ask about the cause and effect of the matter and the specific details. Could it be... that you are afraid of asking about something else?"
These words, though spoken lightly, hit the nail on the head.
Qianhe Daoist's expression changed slightly, realizing that he had overreacted. He chuckled dryly, "Palace Master is joking. I am naturally not afraid. I just feel that this demonic vine can't tell the truth and only adds to the trouble."
Having said that, he shut his mouth in a huff and said no more.
"Whether it's the truth or not, we'll have to investigate slowly..." Murong Xi withdrew her gaze and continued with a smile, "As for that kid Shen Yunhao, since he wants to go in and have a heart-to-heart talk with his 'sister,' that's fine with him. However, this means that he has chosen to stand on the same side as the Demon Vine. If any problems are found out, regardless of who is in charge or who is subordinate, whether the matter is minor or major, we can deal with them all together. That would be clean and efficient! I wonder what Qing Shuang thinks?"
He secretly transmitted his voice to Nie Qingshuang, saying, "This child is not stupid. Since he dares to do this, he must have his reasons and reasons. Let's see how he deals with it... At least there is still the relationship with the North Sea Dragon Palace, so there will always be room for maneuver."
Nie Qingshuang glanced at Shen Yunhao, finally let out a long sigh, waved wearily, turned her back, and stopped looking at the direction of the formation, which was considered as acquiescing to Murong Xi's approach.
Seeing this, Murong Xi smiled and looked at Ouyang Jingfeng one last time: "Of course, everything still depends on Pavilion Master Ouyang's decision! If Pavilion Master thinks that letting these two spend time together will lead to secret dealings, or even a scheme to break the formation from the inside... then to be on the safe side, it would be better to 'detain them separately' for interrogation!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jingfeng smiled arrogantly, "Palace Master Murong is overthinking it! If this heavily injured demonic vine and a junior can still cause chaos within the protective formation of my Azure Sky Sword Pavilion, then I might as well not take the position of Pavilion Master!"
Having said that, he no longer hesitated. With a wave of his hand, the ripples on the array's light barrier suddenly stabilized and expanded, forming a clear passage.
"Shen Yunhao, since you insist on going in, then go in! But let me make this clear: if you die at the hands of the Demon Vine, don't blame me for not warning you!"
"Thank you, Pavilion Master Ouyang, and thank you, seniors!" Shen Yunhao clasped his hands in thanks, took one last look at Ning Yuyao who was watching them from below, resolutely turned around, raised the Guixue Sword, and transformed into a stream of light, shooting into the chilling Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Flow Formation!
"You bunch of fools! Idiots! Since you're pushing me so hard, then don't blame me for fighting you to the death!"
However, upon seeing this, Mo Yan in the formation suddenly became "enraged," with countless wisteria vines dancing wildly and exuding a terrifying aura.
But... for some reason, the tone, though fierce, inexplicably carried a hint of weakness and cowardice.
As expected, Shen Yunhao completely ignored the wisteria vines and flew straight towards the girl in the center of the formation with a blank expression.
As everyone watched, Mo Yan's initial aggressive demeanor visibly weakened as Shen Yunhao drew closer. Her waving vines grew weaker, her shouts became softer, and finally, she even showed signs of panic...
"What...what are you going to do! Don't come any closer...I'm warning you! I really will!"
The girl tried to dodge backward, but her body was locked in place by countless rays of light, leaving her with no way to avoid it. She could only watch helplessly as Shen Yunhao easily broke through all obstacles and came to stand in front of her.
Then--
He reached out and grabbed the girl by the back, like lifting a disobedient kitten, "pulling" her out of the painful position where she was pinned by the lightsaber. Then he pressed her onto his lap, making her lie face down in an extremely shameful position with her buttocks sticking up.
Mo Yan seemed to sense what Shen Yunhao was about to do. Her expression instantly changed drastically, filled with terror. She struggled and screamed, "Bastard! How dare you! You..."
"Smack!"
A crisp, resounding slap suddenly rang out.
The world fell silent instantly.
Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether they were powerful beings at the Void Realm in the sky or countless cultivators on the ground, were collectively petrified and dumbfounded!
But Shen Yunhao was still not satisfied. Ignoring the girl's face, which turned as red as blood and her shame and anger, he slapped her twice more!
"You want to self-destruct, huh?! Go ahead and explode? Come on, show me now!"
"Weren't you so arrogant just now? Weren't you threatening to kill yourself? Why are you chickening out now?!"
"Let me tell you! I am not Ling Huanzi! I do not have the ability to rescue you safely from here!"
"There's only one thing I can do... and that's to die before you!"
"You better... remember this carefully!"
