But no one can predict when someone will advance in their cultivation level, so even if she wanted to stand up and criticize Tianning, it would be impossible.
Fortunately, her master always stood by her side. Qin Mingcheng declared that he must give his disciple an explanation today!
The disciples, unaware of the true situation, were buzzing with discussion below the stage.
When they first saw Wenren Xue's miserable and disheveled appearance, they naturally felt pity. However, they did not expect Wenren Xue to point directly at Tian Ning. Shouldn't such cruel methods be done by demonic cultivators?
However, Wenren Xue has always had a good reputation in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so there's no reason for her to lie.
So what happened inside the Sword Tomb after the Recording Stone became ineffective?
However, they would never have imagined that Wenren Xue, who looked so pitiful, would actually be the one to accuse others first!
Sect Leader Xiao glanced at Tian Ning, who was advancing in his cultivation, and then at Qin Mingcheng and his group, who were determined not to give up. He could only let Wenren Xue speak first.
Wenren Xue thanked him so much that she kowtowed to Sect Leader Xiao twice more on the spot. Judging from her expression, Sect Leader Xiao was inexplicably reluctant to accept this grand gesture.
Having received permission, Wenren Xue immediately continued what she hadn't finished saying.
"Tian Ning of the Sword Guardian Mountain harbored resentment towards me, and even when the demonic cultivators arrived, she refused to let go of her personal grudge! Knowing that I had only recently broken through to the Golden Core stage and that my cultivation was unstable, making me unable to directly confront the demonic cultivators... she clearly had countless talismans that could have helped me fight Elder Ye against the demonic cultivators, yet she gave them to the other junior brothers and sisters, isolating me alone. I only wanted to do my part to help..."
"You're talking nonsense! A Golden Core cultivator hiding with us Qi Refining cultivators, and you still have an excuse?" Xiao Roushu jumped out and pointed at her nose, cursing, "And that's Senior Sister Tianning's stuff! Are you a robber? What right do you have to ask Senior Sister Tianning to give it to you!"
He hadn't paid much attention to his daughter's lack of hair earlier, since saving her life was the most important thing. But now, Sect Leader Xiao couldn't stand seeing his bald daughter sticking out in front of everyone.
He tugged at Xiao Roushu and handed her a hair growth pill.
"Alright, little girl, stop talking nonsense... Let her finish." Otherwise, if this argument continues, it will go on all day.
Xiao Roushu, having given in to her father's attempts to smooth things over, could only vent her anger by biting the hair growth pill with her molars.
“Junior Sister Xiao, I’m not lying. It’s just that you don’t know my situation,” Wenren Xue said, swaying as she supported her broken body. “If my cultivation hadn’t been unstable, I wouldn’t have been affected by the demonic energy and lost control to attack Tian Ning.”
"I know it was my fault, but I really tried my best to fight against the demonic energy and try to come to my senses. I didn't want to hurt Tianning, even though she treated me like that!"
"vomit--"
The entire room fell silent as she spoke, but Xie Xingzhi vomited again at that very moment.
Everyone: "..."
If they didn't know Xie Xingzhi's usual attitude towards Wenren Xue, they would have really thought this person was being sarcastic...
Wenren Xue gritted her teeth and insisted on finishing her sentence. As long as she insisted that it was demonic energy, then it was not her fault!
"In the end, I resisted the demonic energy, and Junior Sister Tianning was unharmed, but the senior brother of the Sword Protection Mountain... he openly resorted to torture, taking advantage of my inability to resist within the secret realm, and cut off my hand that was holding the sword!"
"Master, Sect Leader! This disciple knows that I was in the wrong first! Even though being possessed by demonic energy and having my mind affected was not my intention, I am willing to accept punishment! Elder Ye also promised that he would let you two punish me after I was released, but he ignored everything and forcibly attacked me..."
"Fu Hongming!" With each word Wenren Xue uttered, Qin Mingcheng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. In a place he couldn't see, his beloved disciple had been humiliated to this extent!
Enraged, he was about to attack Fu Hongming!
Upon completing his advancement, Tian Ning suddenly opened his eyes, and all ten contract swords instantly attacked Qin Mingcheng, stopping him just before he could make a move.
She broke through, reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Chain!
No one expected Tian Ning to advance so quickly.
It's much faster than Long Kangnian was back then. Won't his cultivation level become unstable?
"Junior Sister, don't force yourself to accelerate your breakthrough for my sake. An unstable cultivation level will have an impact on your future..." Fu Hongming looked at her worriedly, wishing he could press down on her shoulders to make Tian Ning sit down quickly and stabilize her cultivation level.
"It's alright, Senior Brother, I advanced normally." Tianning reassured him.
She would never allow anyone to bully her senior brother in front of her!
Qin Mingcheng's renewed attack angered Sect Leader Xiao, who, along with the elders of the Enforcement Hall and Tian Ning's sword, subdued Qin Mingcheng this time.
"Qin Mingcheng, do you even have the demeanor of an elder? Since your disciple has been wronged, then let's all sit down and talk it out. You can't just convict her on the spot based on her one-sided story!" Sect Leader Xiao's words couldn't be more fair.
You attacked before the people from the Sword Guardian Mountain even spoke. How biased is your understanding?
"Sect Leader! Master is just worried about his disciple... Tell me, which sword cultivator master can remain rational when he sees his disciple's sword-wielding hand being cut off! Master just wants to help his disciple..." Wenren Xue cried again.
Sect Leader Xiao was annoyed by her mournful behavior.
"Alright, let's hear what the two elders and the disciples of the Sword Guardian Mountain have to say first."
Elder Qiu was not present at all. Elder Ye knew that if it weren't for the children of Sword Protection Mountain who joined forces to resist the demonic cultivators, none of them would have survived the incident at Sword Tomb...
For some reason, he inexplicably thought of five years ago when that person was still in a coma. If that person were still alive, he would never have allowed anyone to bully his disciple like this!
In front of that person, what is Qin Mingcheng?
How could we tolerate them bullying a group of children!
Elder Ye felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and he couldn't help but step forward and speak up for the Sword Protection Mountain.
"Sect Leader, what happened in the Sword Tomb is not just Wenren Xue's side of the story. As a righteous disciple with the Golden Core cultivation level and many protective magic treasures, she was cowardly and afraid of death when facing demonic cultivators, hiding behind her junior brothers and sisters in the Qi Refining stage to survive. She is truly unworthy to be a disciple of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
He publicly declared, standing in front of the children of Sword Protection Mountain and looking directly at Qin Mingcheng: "The talisman belongs to Tianning herself, and she can give it to whomever she wants! Wenren Xue, as the personal disciple who accompanied and protected the new disciples when she entered the Sword Tomb, has the nerve to blame Tianning? If that's the case, Qin Mingcheng, why don't you ask your beloved disciple why she didn't take out her protective magic weapon and distribute it to the other junior brothers and sisters?"
Throughout the entire process, Qin Mingcheng's love for Wenren Xue must have been evident in the numerous protective artifacts he possessed!
Elder Ye's words were sharp, getting straight to the point.
This old man, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, was saved by a little girl in the Qi Chain stage. Although he didn't want to make a big fuss, since Wenren Xue spoke first, he couldn't just stand by and watch as Qin Mingcheng bullied the disciples of the Sword Guardian Mountain because of their status!
Because of Elder Ye's lead, all the new disciples who entered the Sword Tomb with Xiao Roushu also stood up to speak for Tian Ning.
They fought side by side against the demonic cultivators within the Sword Tomb, their lives hanging by a thread!
Tianning almost died twice!
In that situation, Wenren Xue not only complained that Tian Ning hadn't given her a single bag of talismans, but she also turned around and attacked him!
