Everyone: "..."
She's so thoughtful.
Despite the complaints, before long, everyone had gathered on another hilltop to watch the spectacle.
Sometimes you have to admire how clever Tianning really is!
Unlike Tianning, who idly read storybooks, Wenren Xue looked anxiously at the spot where the first bolt of lightning struck after it landed. The power of the lightning was too domineering, and the dazzling light was so intense that even if they were standing on the nearest hilltop, they would not be able to know what was happening inside.
Everything depends on the answers provided by the sect leaders.
Advancing to the Nascent Soul stage is not something that can be completed in a short time. During this period, the elders will not allow Tian Ning and Wenren Xue to go out. They can only wait for the disciple to finish advancing.
Long Aotian took a sip of spiritual tea and sighed, "It's such a rare auction, but I couldn't go because of that Wenren Xue!"
"Don't you know what's more important?" Shi Qinxin tapped his head, then turned to Tianning with a kind expression, comforting him: "Junior Sister, once this matter is resolved, Third Senior Sister will take you to a bigger auction! Whatever you want then, Third Senior Sister will buy it for you!"
Long Aotian pleaded sincerely: "Third Senior Sister, actually I..."
"roll!"
My family is heartbroken...
Over there, Wenren Xue's former senior brothers kept comforting her as she looked at her pale face. She didn't need to do anything; their goodwill towards her was increasing on its own, which made Wenren Xue feel a little better.
"Master..." After being comforted, Wenren Xue habitually walked up to Qin Mingcheng. According to the tradition of their sect, after the senior brothers had finished comforting him, it was time for the master to comfort him.
This time, however, Qin Mingcheng frowned slightly. He lowered his voice, but it carried a reproach she had never heard before: "Xue'er, do you know that if we don't have absolute confidence in dealing with Tianning, this will ruin you?"
Wenren Xue's expression grew increasingly grim.
How could she not know?
It was precisely because becoming a demon was such a powerful remedy that she was determined to deal with Tian Ning!
Thunder roared for two days, a total of twelve claps.
As a golden light shone down from the horizon, it meant that the disciple had successfully advanced. Many people breathed a sigh of relief, as expected, the sect leaders' intervention was not unexpected.
Wenren Xue's heart was in her throat. What would the outcome be?
Soon, the sect leaders arrived.
"Tianning!" The old men's faces were serious, and no one dared to utter a sound.
"Hmm." Tian Ning looked up from the storybook, completely unconcerned about the tense atmosphere: "Sect leaders, if you want to clear my name, hurry up and do it. Stop showing off."
Sect leaders: "..."
They originally wanted to follow the instructions of the sect leader of Fuxian Sect and try to trick Tianning to see if she had secretly used the Demon Sword, but she didn't fall for it at all.
Sect Leader Xiao: "Ahem... We've seen it clearly. Under the tribulation of lightning, the white fox's corpse is indeed emitting demonic energy!"
"Wenren Xue! Your contracted beast is a demonic cultivator!" The sect leader of the Fuxian Sect shouted, throwing talismans at Wenren Xue to trap her. "What else do you have to say for yourself!"
"No!" Wenren Xue said, "I had no idea he was a demonic cultivator..."
"You're lying!" the Beast Taming Sect leader exposed. "You successfully formed a pact with him, so how could you not have discovered his identity as a demonic cultivator!"
"I think she deliberately concealed her identity as a fox spirit and was turned against her by Zhou Mengya, which is why she pulled this stunt to frame my junior sister!" This time, Long Aotian learned the essence of Tian Ning and rushed to the front to accuse her.
Everyone thought what he said made a lot of sense.
"Yes, it makes sense when you think about it that way."
"I never imagined that Wenren Xue could be so vicious!"
"That's right. None of you other sects know this, but when Junior Sister Tianning was in the Sword Tomb, she exhausted all her spiritual power to save people. When she was unable to move, she was forcibly bound by the cunning demonic sword. She was forced into this situation..." A kind-hearted member of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect explained to everyone on the spot.
"Exactly! You can't just look at the Demon Sword. You should know that Junior Sister Tianning has also been recognized and bound to nine other swords!"
...
When everyone recalled the nine swords Tian Ning had brandished that day, they inexplicably understood.
Now, everyone's anger was directed at Wenren Xue.
"I...I really didn't know he was a demonic cultivator..."
The feeling of being unable to defend oneself is unpleasant, and Wenren Xue herself experienced it firsthand.
