Lonemoon was truly disgusted by these brazen bandits. These people were clearly here for the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit. They did not care how the three elders had died at all. They just wanted to use this as an excuse to cause trouble for the Blackheaven Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, you must have proof before you speak," Lonemoon said in a low voice. "You said that you brought a treasure into the mystic realm, so you took it with you?"
"When the three elders pleaded with the family head, many of the disciples could testify."
"They were all from the Xuan Yuan Family and cannot be used as proof. Also, even if someone brought the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit out, how can you prove that it belongs to the Xuan Yuan Family and was not originally part of the mystic realm? "
"What a joke." The man snorted. "Everyone in the Upper Azure World knows that the Xuan Yuan Family has many core cultivators. The only Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit in the world is our family's heirloom."
Holy shit, were all Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirits born with the surname 'Xuan Yuan'?
The man turned to look at Yi Qing. "Fellow Daoist, opportunities in the mystic realm are up to fate, but the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit is not like those ownerless treasures in the mystic realm. Fellow Daoist, please return it! "With that said, he took two steps towards Yi Qing.
"I did not take anything from you." Yi Qing took a step forward and said in a low voice, "I did kill Qing Yi, but he was the one who wanted to kill me and steal my treasure."
"You didn't take it? The Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit was with the three elders. Who else could it be if not you? Do you dare to let me search your soul and see if you have seen the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit? "
"You …" Lonemoon was exasperated. Soul-searching was He Ding's treacherous sorcery. Although it could search through the memories of the other party, it was directly used on the soul. The person whose soul was searched would either die or be crippled. What was the difference between his words and blatantly saying that he wanted to kill someone?
"Or …" He swept his gaze across the crowd. "Do you really want to wait for us to massacre everyone here and then come back to look for our family's heirloom?" With that said, he released his suppressive aura once again and the people he had brought with him all drew their weapons.
Everyone from the Blackheaven Sect panicked. Even Xi Qiu and Yu Yang turned to look at Yi Qing suspiciously.
Lonemoon was exasperated. For the first time, he felt an unspeakable grievance. The Xuanyuan family had come with ill intentions, and they had no intention of letting the Black Heaven Sect off so easily. They were just using the Vegetation Spirit as an excuse to vent their anger.
As for whether or not Yi Qing had the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit on him, they did not care at all. All they wanted was an excuse. If Yi Qing insisted that he did not have the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit, they could still destroy the Blackheaven Sect. Not only would they be able to avenge the three of them, but they would also gain a new power in the Lower Realm. If Yi Qing did have the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit, that would be an even bigger surprise.
And they really did have that thing.
Everyone present understood this logic and could see it clearly. However, in the face of the Upper Realm's aristocratic families, the tiny Black Heaven Sect did not even have the right to resist them. The strength of the two sides was not proportional at all. Moreover, there were so many low-level disciples. No matter what the result was, the Black Heaven Sect would suffer heavy losses.
"I did indeed see the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit in the secret realm." Yi Qing's expression darkened. Naturally, he had guessed the other party's intentions. He walked past the crowd and said, "But it was not your Xuan Yuan Family who brought it into the mystic realm."
As soon as he said this, the Traveling Immortals on the lotus flower all paused.
On the other hand, the people of the Blackheaven Sect were in an uproar. They all turned to look at Yi Qing with unfriendly eyes, especially those disciples who did not know the truth.
"It can't be. So he really took it?"
"No wonder the people of the Upper Azure World are so angry."
"Isn't he a Sword Cultivator? Why would he want that sacred alchemy item? "
"Who wouldn't be jealous of that kind of treasure? I saw that he was only a Nascent Soul before, but the moment he came out of the mystic realm, he was already a Soul Formation cultivator. Who would believe that he didn't have a treasure on him? "
"Sigh, how did our Blackheaven Sect produce such a person?"
The more Lonemoon listened, the angrier he became. He wanted to rush into the crowd and sew up these idiots' mouths.
Even some hall masters turned around and tried to persuade Yi Qing. "Supremacy Yi Qing, if you really took that Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit, why don't you return it to them? Why drag the sect down with you? "
"Shut up!" Lonemoon's heart sank. He glared at the person who spoke. How could he say something like that? When those three people came to Blackheaven Sect, if not for their incompetence, how could Yi Qing, a Nascent Soul cultivator who had just entered the sect, enter? It was not easy for him to come back. He even brought back so many spirit herbs and gave them all to the sect. Now that a disaster was upon them, were they going to disregard his life for the sake of survival?
How shameless could they be?!
Moreover, it was obvious that the Xuan Yuan Family was deliberately looking for trouble. How could they blame it on Yi Qing alone? He was just unlucky enough to be captured by the images of those three people before they died.
"This … this is not what I said. It's from the Upper Azure World …" That person took a step back, but he still did not give up.
"Lonemoon …" Yu Yang frowned and stepped forward to persuade him. "You can't blame them. After all, this concerns the sect. We have to look at the bigger picture."
"Senior Brother?" Lonemoon's eyes widened in disbelief. "You think so too!"
Yu Yang looked at the people above and said in a low voice, "You should understand that in front of the enemy, protecting the sect is more important. The truth is not important!"
Not important!
Lonemoon paused and suddenly understood something. His eyes widened and he looked at the hall masters around him in disbelief. Everyone moved away. Even Xi Qiu turned his head away.
Had they already made up their minds?
Because they had to answer to the Upper Azure World. For the sake of the sect, they had decided to push Yi Qing out! Because sacrificing one person was better than destroying the entire sect?
His eyes widened. Suddenly, he felt that the sect that he had been with for hundreds of years was a little unfamiliar.
Yi Qing's expression did not change. It was as if he had already guessed that this would happen. It was because of this that he would rather be an itinerant cultivator than join a sect. Even though there were so many people here, it was also the most heartless place.
Ignoring the crowd, he said in a low voice, "The Vegetation Spirit that I've seen grows in that ancient mystic realm. It doesn't belong to the Xuan Yuan Family."
"What a joke!" The traveling immortal laughed coldly. "If the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit doesn't belong to the Xuan Yuan Family, whose does it belong to?"
"Mine!" Just as he finished speaking, a woman's voice suddenly spoke up.
The traveling immortal paused. He turned his head and looked around. A moment later, his gaze landed on a woman standing beside Yi Qing. Her hand was raised in the air. His brows furrowed.
A mortal?
"Who are you?"
"I'm his Master." Shen Ying pointed at Yi Qing. It was rare for her to remember her own identity. "Let me correct you. Out of the three of you, only the one who ate the wrong medicine … Yes, the one in the mirror on the right, was killed by Chef … er, my disciple. I did the rest." The kind that got paid.
