Clearly, after the debate, Ouyang Jingfeng was inclined to believe that Shen Yunhao had been framed; otherwise, he would have been imprisoned instead of killed on the spot.
Nie Qingshuang and Murong Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as imprisonment meant there was still room for maneuver.
Only Daoist Qianhe frowned deeply... He had gone to great lengths today not to achieve this result. If Mo Yan didn't die, he was afraid he would be in big trouble!
After pondering for a moment, just as he was thinking of a way to apply pressure, Shen Yunhao suddenly clasped his hands in a fist salute again and said loudly:
"I have one last thing to ask, and I would like to ask Pavilion Master Ouyang to be my witness!"
"Oh? What is it?"
After receiving Ouyang Jingfeng's approval, Shen Yunhao turned his head to look at Qiu Hanmo, whose face was gloomy, and said righteously, "The Demon Vine is rare, and its original limbs are even more precious. I am convinced that the person who framed me would not be willing to refine all the limbs he obtained at once, and must have left some on his body!"
After a pause, Shen Yunhao decisively dropped a bombshell: "Seniors! No matter what form the limbs are refined into, or how they are hidden, as long as the distance is close enough, my little sister can use magic to sense the presence of her true form due to the special connection between people of the same origin! If the demonic vine limbs are found on someone here, wouldn't that prove that my little sister and I are not the only possible culprits?"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jingfeng stroked his chin and frowned, "Theoretically speaking, that's true... but..."
Before Ouyang Jingfeng could finish speaking, Shen Yunhao's gaze had already turned to Qiu Hanmo, whose face was ashen. He said in a calm tone, "I wonder... Elder Qiu, would you dare to enter the formation and let my sister sense it for the sake of Medicine King Valley's reputation? If you cannot sense any demonic vine aura, I am willing to kowtow to Medicine King Valley on the spot, along with my sister!"
Hearing this, Mo Yan behind him paused for a moment, raised her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her purple eyes, and gave Shen Yunhao a deep look, but in the end she did not speak and remained silent.
To suggest that the elders of Medicine King Valley enter the Myriad Swords Returning to Flow Formation based solely on suspicion is clearly absurd. Ouyang Jingfeng frowned and, without hesitation, prepared to reject the suggestion.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qiu Hanmo stepped forward and snorted coldly:
"Very well! Let's try it! I have nothing to be ashamed of! I ask Pavilion Master Ouyang and all my fellow cultivators to be witnesses! If this boy, after sensing the vine, cannot find the so-called remnant of the demonic vine, he must immediately make the demonic vine kneel down and kowtow to my Medicine King Valley in apology! If he goes back on his word..."
A cold glint flashed in Qiu Hanmo's eyes as he cupped his hands to Ouyang Jingfeng: "Then I request Pavilion Master Ouyang to activate the Myriad Swords Returning to Flow Formation and kill this boy and the Demonic Vine on the spot! As a warning to others!"
It wasn't that Qiu Hanmo was blinded by anger, but rather that he had absolute confidence in his innocence...
There are no demonic vines on him at all. How could this kid forcefully frame him in front of everyone?
Shen Yunhao looked at Qiu Hanmo, who readily agreed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips... His gaze also swept over Qianhe Daoren, whose expression had changed slightly.
Having learned from Elder Qiu's example, what excuse do you have to evade this search?
Since Qiu Hanmo himself had already agreed, even though Ouyang Jingfeng felt that this method was somewhat absurd and risky, he could not forcibly stop it and could only agree in a deep voice.
He manipulated the array, and another entrance, just wide enough for one person to pass through, rippled across the light barrier.
Qiu Hanmo snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve and stepped into the formation, standing a few feet away from Shen Yunhao and Mo Yan, looking at the two of them with a cold gaze.
Especially the way he stared at Mo Yan, the undisguised disgust in his eyes was as if he were looking at some maggot that had seeped into his very bones...
"Let's begin! Let this old man see what tricks you have up your sleeves!"
Mo Yan glanced at Shen Yunhao with some helplessness... How could she possibly know any spells specifically for detecting the remains of demonic vines?
Seeing the encouragement in Shen Yunhao's eyes, she had no choice but to close her eyes, release her divine sense, and carefully sense the existence of her own body.
Time passed slowly, and silence reigned both inside and outside the formation as everyone watched this scene with bated breath.
After a long while, Mo Yan opened her eyes and shook her head slightly at Shen Yunhao.
Shen Yunhao timely revealed a look of disappointment and regret on his face, sighed dramatically, bowed deeply to Qiu Hanmo, and spoke sincerely:
"It seems that I was indeed overthinking things and made unfounded assumptions, wrongly accusing Elder Qiu and Medicine King Valley. I hereby sincerely apologize to Elder Qiu and Medicine King Valley!"
Seeing this, Qiu Hanmo naturally pressed his advantage: "Just now you swore that you would kowtow and apologize! What? Now you think you can just brush it off with a flimsy apology?"
Shen Yunhao looked troubled and turned to look at Mo Yan, as if he wanted to discuss it with her, but only received a cold glare from Mo Yan.
Shen Yunhao had no choice but to turn back to Qiu Hanmo and say, "Elder Qiu, my sister is stubborn and, being a young woman, is easily embarrassed... Could I, on her behalf, kowtow to you and Medicine King Valley to apologize? I will take full responsibility for all the wrongdoings!"
Surprisingly, upon hearing this suggestion, the previously aggressive Qiu Hanmo suddenly fell silent.
He glanced at the weak and exhausted Mo Yan behind Shen Yunhao with complicated eyes, and remained silent for a long, long time.
After a long pause, he said slowly and deliberately, "Are you... sure you know you're wrong? Are you sure you're the one who slandered my Medicine King Valley?"
Shen Yunhao raised his head, met Qiu Hanmo's gaze earnestly, and nodded heavily: "Yes! This junior is certain!"
Qiu Hanmo gave him a deep look and waved his hand.
"Fine... Since you've admitted your mistake, my Medicine King Valley is not petty or unforgiving. This matter... is settled here! You'd better take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at Shen Yunhao and Mo Yan, and turned to Ouyang Jingfeng outside the formation to make a gesture.
Ouyang Jingfeng was somewhat surprised that Qiu Hanmo had suddenly become so magnanimous, but seeing that things hadn't completely fallen apart, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly cooperated by opening the array exit, allowing Qiu Hanmo to walk out safely.
After emerging from the air, Qiu Hanmo returned to mid-air, closed his eyes slightly, as if taking a short nap.
Before Ouyang Jingfeng could announce anything, Shen Yunhao, who was inside the formation, once again clasped his hands and spoke!
This time, Shen Yunhao's gaze was no longer concealed in the slightest, carrying a chilling coldness, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, shooting straight at Qianhe Daoren who had been watching from the sidelines!
"Sect Master Ouyang, esteemed seniors! Just now, I suddenly remembered something!"
His voice was clear and cold, echoing in the silent sky: "Medicine King Valley does indeed have the ability and opportunity to obtain the remnants of the Demon Vine, however... a certain senior present here is, undeniably, and known to all... to have possessed the Demon Vine!"
