This matter was of great importance. Wenren Xue was immediately disqualified from continuing to participate in the Six Sects Grand Competition. Just for colluding with the Demon Clan, the Six Sects had the right to decide her life or death!
The sect leaders decided to first abolish Wenren Xue's cultivation and imprison her in the forbidden area of the Fuxian Sect, and then execute her after the matter was investigated.
However, Long Ye, being a mature romantic, stood up firmly to protect Wenren Xue.
He vouched for Wenren Xue's precarious cultivation by pledging that she had absolutely not colluded with the demons.
Before being imprisoned in the forbidden area, Wenren Xue was still trying to drag Tian Ning along, refusing to believe that no one would be wary of Tian Ning under the premise of the contracted demon sword.
She stared intently at Tian Ning, gritting her teeth as she said, "She has made a contract with the demonic sword. Who knows when she might succumb to temptation and fall into the demonic path? You don't trust me, but do you trust her to continue the competition with her other disciples?"
Wenren Xue was unwilling to accept that her hard-earned qualification for the competition had been ruined by Tian Ning, and she wanted to make Tian Ning pay for it!
Human nature is often the most vulnerable to test. Having just experienced the Liu Yao incident, she didn't believe these old fogies would dare to gamble with the safety of their protégés.
Just as Wenren Xue had expected, after she spoke, everyone present looked at Tian Ning with complicated expressions.
This is a perfectly normal reaction.
After all, who wants to have a ticking time bomb by their side?
Wenren Xue managed to find a sliver of solace amidst her despair, a strange sense of pleasure rising within her. She had fallen for Tian Ning so many times; this was the first time she had truly made him suffer a crushing defeat!
Wenren Xue was taken to the forbidden area, but her words resonated with some people.
Before the sect leaders could speak, an elder stepped forward and said, "In the end, Tianning has also contracted with the Demon Sword, which concerns the overall situation. We cannot let her participate in the Six Sects Tournament anymore!"
His meaning was clear: the safety of his other close associates must be the priority.
Some elders suggested, "Why don't we have this child swear an oath to the heavens, vowing never to use the demonic sword... After all, it's better to be safe than sorry..."
Even so, they were still uneasy. The appearance of the Demon Sword often foreshadowed the coming of disaster, and no one knew what would become of Tianning after he had made a pact with the Demon Sword.
In response, Xu Jiaojiao, who had long disliked Tianning, stepped forward, her pretty face revealing her smugness.
Without Tian Ning, Senior Brother Duanmu will surely lead the Fuxian Sect to shine in the upcoming competition!
Xu Jiaojiao: "In that case, we must place a restriction on her! As soon as she uses the demonic sword, she will self-destruct and die! This will also prevent her from falling into demonic ways and avoid causing harm to the cultivation world in the future!"
"Anyway, as long as she is wholeheartedly committed to the righteous path, nothing will happen to her."
She spoke lightly, but to Tianning, it was like having a ticking time bomb strapped to her head.
If Tianning were to be bewitched by the demonic sword one day, he would surely die!
"Xu Jiaojiao, don't go too far!" Xiao Roushu's face was all scrunched up: "Senior Sister Tianning didn't do anything, why should she be treated like this!"
Behind Xiao Roushu, most of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were also on Tianning's side.
A disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect spoke up: "Everyone, you are unaware of what happened. If it were someone acting out of selfish desires, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would never tolerate it. However, Tian Ning's contract with the Demon Sword in the Sword Tomb was truly an accident. The current Demon Lord is treacherous and cunning, and has long coveted the Demon Sword... That day, he sent several Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators to retrieve the Demon Sword. If Tian Ning hadn't intervened in time to protect everyone who entered the Sword Tomb, I'm afraid that the two elders and fifteen disciples who entered the secret realm would all have died inside!"
At this point, it's essential to make things clear.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect all spoke up, recounting the entire incident in detail, not daring to omit a single detail.
Long Ye, who had just added another mark against Tian Ning in his mind, scoffed dismissively: "Since you all say she's so good, shouldn't she take the initiative to accept it for everyone's safety?"
He understands moral blackmail.
