Medicine King Valley is a major orthodox sect on par with Tai Xuan Dao Sect, so naturally it refused to acknowledge this unjust accusation.
However, it was an undeniable fact that they were raising the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, a malevolent creature of heaven and earth, so they argued for a long time, with neither side willing to back down.
It was then that she realized that sometimes, the truth of things... isn't actually that important.
Such a big problem naturally needs someone to take the blame.
At the end of the discussion, the elder of Medicine King Valley stepped forward, stared at the girl not far away with indifferent eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Yan Mo, you witch, do you know your crime?"
She did not answer immediately, but looked at her master who was standing silently in the crowd.
After a long silence, she nodded: "This disciple knows his sins and is willing to accept punishment!"
She had long anticipated that the blame that neither the Tai Xuan Dao Sect nor the Medicine King Valley would take could be borne by her, the "demoness."
She knew her master could see it too, but there was nothing he could do to stop it all...
She wasn't particularly disappointed, but she felt a sense of emptiness inside.
What followed was logical: since someone had taken the blame, they should be punished accordingly.
Whether it's imprisonment and sealing, or expulsion, as long as Ling Huanzi is still alive, this punishment will never endanger his life.
However, she never imagined that the other party's purpose was far more than that!
When her fellow students, with reddened eyes, stood up together to accuse and identify her, she also felt a sense of unreality.
Those people's target wasn't her, the Demon Vine, but their master, Ling Huanzi!
The reason is simple: for so many years, Ling Huanzi has been using the guise of master and disciple to absorb their source power, which has prevented them from ever reaching the Spirit Void Realm or even the next level, the Void Soul Realm, in their lifetime.
It sounds ridiculous.
However, amidst the crowd's outrage, Yan Mo could see his master's fists gradually clenching.
They are all disciples personally trained by their master!
They embody the culmination of Master's years of hard work and dedication...
But now, he stands on the opposite side of his master without hesitation.
Yan Mo remembered that this was the first time in many years that she had felt an uncontrollable anger.
She could even see through their reddened eyes that the desires hidden deep within their hearts had been released without reservation.
These people... have clearly fallen into demonic possession!
At that moment, a voice seemed to be calling out from the depths of my consciousness.
"Kill them...kill these traitors..."
Just as this thought arose, screams and cries suddenly rang in her ears, pulling her confused consciousness back to reality.
The scene that greeted her was utterly shocking.
Purple vines had sprouted from the disciples' bodies at some unknown time, and in an instant, they drained the disciples of their life force, turning them into dried corpses...
Moreover, the moment these wisteria vines broke through the surface of her body and grew out, they formed an inseparable connection with Yan Mo and transmitted a pure life energy into her body.
"Snap!"
The Spirit Void Realm barrier that she had been suppressing for so many years shattered instantly, and she became a powerful demon in the Spirit Void Realm...
These wisteria all originated from her!
"No! This is not..."
Before she could finish speaking, an overwhelming pressure descended, slamming her straight into the ground, rendering her unable to move.
But she still tried desperately to raise her head, her eyes filled with panic, and looked in the direction of her master.
A thunderous shout echoed throughout Medicine King Valley: "You audacious fiend! How dare you commit murder in public! Your crimes are heinous, you shall be executed immediately!"
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
Just then, she seemed to remember something and strained her eyes to look in the direction of Daoist Qianhe.
A mocking smile played on Qianhe Daoren's lips, a fleeting glint of red light flashing in his eyes...
These wisteria vines did indeed originate from her; she cut them down herself, and they were taken by Daoist Qianhe.
I never expected to find myself here...
She hadn't felt much emotion when she was pushed to take responsibility before, but now she felt an unquenchable anger in her heart, which also caused the evil thoughts that had been hidden deep in her soul to grow wildly.
Like flames leaping from hell, they devoured the last vestiges of reason.
She couldn't hold back any longer and finally exploded when she heard Daoist Qianhe's righteous voice.
"Colluding with demons, cultivating evil ways, absorbing disciples, and now even ruthlessly killing your own disciples and destroying their bodies! Ling Huanzi, what crime have you committed!"
What is your punishment?
What crime...
"ah!!!"
Upon hearing this, the girl could no longer bear it, covered her head and screamed, appearing as if she had gone mad.
Beneath her clothes, a jet-black bead quietly shattered, turning into black mist that seeped into her body.
Countless wisteria vines rose from the ground, and the girl's aura also surged at this moment, almost instantly reaching the Void Realm!
"This vixen has finally stopped pretending!"
"It truly is an evil creature; how could a mighty Void Realm demon hide so deeply!"
"Hmph! Fellow practitioners, follow me to capture this demon and restore peace to the righteous path!"
Then, the scene became chaotic.
However, the Demon Vine's combat power still far exceeded everyone's expectations. Despite being surrounded by a group of Void Realm cultivators, she was still able to break free and escape with her master.
"These people are hypocritical, despicable, and shameless, unable to distinguish between good and evil! And the Demonic Sect is secretly fueling this chaos. Master, let's leave first..."
"Pfft..."
Blood splattered, staining the wisteria red.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Even the pursuers behind them were stunned by this scene and stopped their chase.
In mid-air, the girl stiffly turned her head to look at the golden chain that had pierced through her chest.
On the other side, it was held in Ling Huanzi's hand.
"So... Master, you don't believe me..."
The girl's voice trembled slightly, like a piece of broken porcelain that had been forcibly pieced back together, full of cracks.
But at this moment, all she saw in Ling Huanzi's eyes was disappointment.
"You wicked beast... all these years I've taught you have been for nothing!"
The wisteria and demonic energy slowly dissipated, and the girl's body became pale and hunched.
She suddenly felt like laughing.
Therefore, her master had always prepared this unique chain that could restrain the Dark Abyss Demon Vine...
So, he has been suppressing her cultivation level in order to prevent her from getting out of control?
Therefore, from the moment he was brought out of the Dark Abyss, he never believed her.
She suddenly remembered the first time her master took her down the mountain and they met that little boy.
That master who, even knowing he couldn't save her, tried again and again.
Now, they won't even give her a chance to explain...
...
"If we don't do our best to treat the living, who can say for sure that they are destined to die?"
...
“There is nothing wrong with power itself. The ones who will make mistakes are always the ones who use power… Yan Mo, your master knows you are a good child.”
...
Isn't that ridiculous?
