Faced with the congratulations from those powerful figures, Sikong Jian casually responded with a few words.
Seeing Sikong Jian's smug expression, Cao Niang felt resentful and turned to leave.
Ruan Xiyan raised an eyebrow. Now was the perfect time for many forces to gather, and there was also a big surprise for the Four Confucian Sects. How could the Four Confucian Sects leave prematurely?
She was about to speak and expose the Four Confucian School's practice of evil arts when a voice spoke first.
"Sect Leader Cao, please wait."
Cao Niang looked at Ma Yang of the Beast Taming Sect, "Elder Ma, is there anything else?"
"I have something I'd like to ask Sect Leader Cao. Evil cultivators are universally condemned on the continent. Why do you, the people of the Four Confucian Sects, knowingly violate this law and practice evil arts?" Ma Yang said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Heretical cultivator?!"
"Really? The Four Confucian Sect has practiced evil arts?" Upon hearing this, the people around immediately moved far away from the Four Confucian Sect, looking at them with wary and suspicious eyes.
"The Four Confucian Schools have recently increased in strength. Could it be because they have practiced evil arts?"
"Very likely. Why not take this shortcut? Practicing evil arts is forbidden on the continent. If discovered, there will be no good end."
As the people around him continued to discuss the matter, Cao Niang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he forced himself to calm down, saying, "Ma Yang, this is a frame-up! What evidence do you have to prove that the people of our Four Confucian School practice evil arts?"
"I would also say that your Beast Taming Sect did not perform well this time, and that you were resentful when you saw that my Four Confucian Sect had entered the top five, so you made baseless accusations."
"The leader of the Four Confucian Schools has a point." Those people wavered back and forth like a reed in the wind.
Even though he said that, he still didn't dare to get close to the Four Confucian School.
It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.
After all, the evil arts of heretical cultivators are unpredictable and mysterious. If the Four Confucian Sects really practice evil arts, what if they get injured if they get too close?
A large area around the Four Confucian School was left empty, exposed to the scrutinizing and suspicious gazes of the crowd.
The disciples of the Four Confucian School had panicked eyes and were sweating profusely; they were not as calm and composed as Cao Niang.
“The power of evil cultivators is imbued with a bloody and malevolent aura. You’ll know once you try it. Elder Yan is here today, so we’ll trouble you to bear witness for us.” Ma Yang’s face was righteous and awe-inspiring, but a glint of malice flashed in his eyes.
He had happened to witness the Four Confucian Schools practicing evil arts.
The reason for keeping this matter hidden and not publicizing it was that they planned to use it to threaten the Four Confucian Scholars and extract some benefits from them later.
The situation is urgent, so we have no choice but to expose this matter in public in order to buy time and wait for the sect leader to arrive.
Unorthodox cultivators are the most despised by everyone. Once the Four Confucian Sects are exposed for practicing evil arts, they will surely be condemned by everyone.
In this way, he would have a good reason to keep everyone present.
Yan Feng nodded and said, "Of course, evil cultivators should be killed by everyone, and I have no choice but to do so."
The next moment, Ma Yang launched a swift attack, heading straight for Cao Niang.
Cao Niang reacted quickly, raising his hand to block the attack with force.
Seeing them fighting like dogs, Ruan Xiyan and the others did not step forward to get involved.
Judging from their appearance, the people from the Beast Taming Sect seemed to have known about the Four Confucian Sect's practice of evil arts for a long time.
Why didn't they mention this before? Why reveal it now? Are they up to something?
A hint of doubt appeared on Ruan Xiyan's face. She had not forgotten that she still possessed the Beast Suppression Tower.
Although she erased the original soul imprint on the Beast Suppression Tower, the Beast Suppression Tower is the most precious treasure of the Beast Taming Sect, and it is hard to guarantee that they do not have other means to find the Beast Suppression Tower.
Jun Yu held Ruan Xiyan's hand, as if he knew what she was thinking, and whispered in her ear, "Ayan, I'm here for you. I'll always be behind you."
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Let's focus on watching this good show unfold."
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
Cao Niang is the head of a sect, and his strength is definitely above Ma Yang's.
Even with all his strength, Ma Yang was no match for Cao Niang and was knocked back several steps by a single palm strike.
People from other factions did not step forward to help; they simply watched coldly from the sidelines.
What if the four Confucian scholars didn't practice evil arts? Wouldn't it be offending them if we acted rashly?
Before things are certain, it's best to be cautious and protect yourself.
Ma Yang was furious; these people were all scheming and plotting their own schemes.
“Ma Yang, have you had enough? You saw it yourself, there’s no evil aura in the power I used,” Cao Niang said.
"I think you're just making false accusations first. Maybe your Beast Taming Sect is the real culprit among evil cultivators." Cao Niang pointed the finger at Ma Yang.
Ma Yang was furious. He wondered what secret method the Four Confucian School had used to perfectly conceal the evil magic.
If you can't push him to the limit, you won't be able to get the truth out of him.
Before the matter of the heretical cultivators is settled, Elder Yan Feng certainly won't take action and do something that would be thankless and exhausting.
Ma Yang's eyes darted around, and he swung his hand back to attack one of the disciples of the Four Confucian School.
Cao Niang's expression hardened; something was wrong!
He rushed to stop him, but he was still a step too late.
Ma Yang's eyes were sinister. He couldn't beat Cao Niang, but he didn't believe he couldn't do anything to a disciple. In his panic, he would surely reveal his true colors.
Faced with the attack that was so close at hand, the disciple panicked and instinctively tried to defend himself.
His strength was no match for Ma Yang's, and a black, evil aura emanated from the disciple.
He used evil magic, and his power increased instantly, but he still couldn't fight against an elder. He fell to the ground.
Cao Niang flashed in front of the disciple and struck Ma Yang hard, "Ma Yang, don't push your luck. How dare an elder attack a junior?"
Ma Yang took a few steps back, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but a triumphant smile graced his face.
"Cao Niang, you still won't admit it! Your Four Confucian Schools have practiced evil arts, and the aura emanating from this disciple is proof of that!"
Seeing the evil aura surrounding that disciple, everyone was shocked.
"This really is an evil spell!"
"I never expected that the Four Confucian School would actually condone its disciples practicing evil arts."
"The facts are now right before our eyes. Perhaps not only the disciple is an evil cultivator, but even the sect leader is."
"......"
The gazes of those around him instantly changed, becoming hostile and aggressive.
Ma Yang looked at Yan Feng and said, "Elder Yan, the Four Confucian Sects practice evil arts, which is an unforgivable crime. This kind of cancer must not be left on the mainland to prevent it from harming others."
Yan Feng stared sharply at Cao Niang. "Cao Niang, surrender obediently, and perhaps I can show leniency and punish you lightly."
Cao Niang looked around; other forces were eyeing him covetously.
At this point, further sophistry is futile; it seems a battle is inevitable today.
Cao Niang threw his head back and laughed loudly, "You frogs in a well, you don't know the wonder of evil magic. The power of this magic is beyond your imagination."
