The upper echelons of the Royal Sacred Sect were also alerted. As experts of the Royal Sacred Sect, they didn't pay attention to the internal affairs of the sect every day. In truth, not many people knew of Zai Qiu's actions.
If back then Zai Qiu had reported to the Royal Sacred Sect before acting against Qin Wentian and Quinn, his elders might not have agreed to him using such a drastic method. Zai Qiu also knew this point, hence he chose to act first and report later, using the most direct and violent method to kill Quinn, causing the situation to be irreversible.
At this moment, only now did Zai Qiu's actions were known by others. Zai Qiu was summoned by that expert surnamed Li for a chat. Since things had already been done, how could that expert surnamed Li admit that Zai Qiu had wrongly killed Quinn and hand him over? In addition to the fact that Qin Wentian had once rejected him, he allowed Zai Qiu to handle this matter. Since that expert surnamed Li had already made his decision, the others who knew of this naturally wouldn't interfere.
However, nobody would have thought that there would actually be someone who would dare to create such a huge commotion, to the extent where everyone in the world knew of it. Evidently, this was done by someone from the Medicine Sovereign Valley. The Medicine Sovereign Valley truly had the guts to do so, they were already standing in opposition to the Royal Sacred Sect. Right now, the upper echelons of the Royal Sacred Sect were all alerted, summoning Zai Qiu several times for a chat, causing Zai Qiu to feel extremely pressured.
The Royal Sacred Sect ruled the world, relying on their strength to suppress the world. Everyone in the world worshipped them as a sacred ground, with countless geniuses entering it. But if the rumors were true, that the Royal Sacred Sect had wrongly killed Quinn and Qin Wentian, that would be a huge scandal. Although nobody could do anything to them, they couldn't help but to consider the repercussions of this matter.
Finally, the upper echelons of the Royal Sacred Sect came to an agreement. Their punishment for Qin Wentian was death!
But the prerequisite was that they had to prove Qin Wentian's crimes. Qin Wentian and Quinn caused a disciple of the Royal Sacred Sect to fall into a dangerous situation, resisting the orders of the Royal Sacred Sect. No matter what Qin Wentian was, no matter what talent he had, they had to kill him without mercy. This was how the Royal Sacred Sect should be.
This was the consensus of the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect. This caused Zai Qiu, who was under immense pressure, to finally heave a sigh of relief. During these few days, he was almost suffocated. Luckily, since the Core Faction had made their decision, they could finally kill Qin Wentian openly and honorably, taking revenge for his junior brother Sun Qing.
Today, at the place where Quinn died, Sun Qing, Xia Sheng and the others gathered. There weren't many of them, and only a few Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants could be seen. However, it was unknown how many experts there were in the surroundings of this space.
Not far away in the air, a group of silhouettes could be seen walking over. Indeed, there weren't any members of the Battle Sword Faction, not a single one at all. It was as though the Battle Sword Faction had completely separated themselves from this matter, not participating at all.
Other than Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng, the others were all from the Medicine Sovereign Valley.
"Qin Wentian, do you know your crimes?" Zai Qiu stared at Qin Wentian as he icily spoke.
"What crimes?" Qin Wentian landed on the ground as he stared at Zai Qiu. His ice-cold eyes flickered with a terrifying light, as though it contained an intense killing intent.
Quinn was killed unjustly by Zai Qiu.
"Before we entered the secret realm, did Senior Ji say that once we entered, we have to listen to Senior Xia Sheng's commands? If there's no Senior Xia Sheng, we have to listen to my commands." Zai Qiu icily asked.
"Yes." Qin Wentian nodded.
"I told you to save Sun Qing, yet you disobeyed my orders and refused to admit your crimes?" Zai Qiu asked.
"Think carefully about the situation back then. You only shouted a single sentence to Quinn, 'Quinn, save Sun Qing'. You didn't give me any orders, and in that moment of crisis, my actions were all instincts. Zai Qiu, you wanted to kill me, yet you are lying with your eyes wide open. Why don't you just act directly? You can even slander me by saying that I wanted to kill you." Qin Wentian coldly spoke, his words causing Zai Qiu to stiffen.
He could faintly remember that at that time, he indeed only shouted a single sentence to Quinn, telling him to save Sun Qing and not Qin Wentian. In that case, Qin Wentian couldn't be considered to have disobeyed his orders.
However, the second crime was sufficient to kill Qin Wentian and Quinn.
"What a glib tongue. In that case, you and Quinn lured the person in the tomb to junior sister Shang, trapping the disciples of my Royal Sacred Sect. Junior sister Shang is right here, what else do you have to say?" Zai Qiu coldly spoke.
"Is that so? Is what she said true? If she says that the deaths of those who died in the secret realm were all caused by me, wouldn't that be easier? " Qin Wentian faintly spoke. After which, he turned his cold gaze onto the female surnamed Shang as he coldly spoke, "Shang Li, you framed Fan Miaoyu and now you are trying to frame me and Quinn. You have to be responsible for Quinn's death as well."
"IMPUDENT!" A cold voice rang out, only to see an expert beside Zai Qiu coldly speaking, "Qin Wentian, your actions are too despicable. Now, you actually still dare to slander Shang Li? If you want to say that you didn't do it, you can come over here. I naturally have a way to make you speak the truth. If I wrongly accused you, my Royal Sacred Sect will definitely give you an explanation."
Qin Wentian abruptly laughed when he heard the righteous words of the other party. Arrogance was written all over his face as he continued, "What a great joke. If I was controlled by you, given the status of the hegemon of the Royal Sacred Sect, wouldn't it be extremely easy for you to trap me in an illusion? But this time around, before the truth could be ascertained, Quinn was already killed by Zai Qiu and the others. Yet, Zai Qiu is still standing here in perfect condition, accusing me of my crime. And now you say that you will give me an explanation? What a joke. Let me ask you all, why was Fan Miaoyu brought away?"
"How would I know about Fan Miaoyu's matter?" That person coldly snorted. "If you refuse to admit it even if you die, there's nothing we can do. But today, you have to stay behind no matter what. We will deal with you after the truth is ascertained."
"Ridiculous to the extreme." At this moment, a voice rang out. After which, Mo Qingcheng slowly walked forward with a medicinal pill in her hands. She stared at the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect as she spoke, "There's no need to wait for the truth to be ascertained. This medicinal pill is none other than the Bewildering Pill. For those who consume it, within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they will answer truthfully no matter what you ask them. As long as you feed this pill to Shang Li, the truth will be revealed."
"Do you all dare?" Cold light flashed in Mo Qingcheng's eyes, causing the hearts of the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect to tremble. That beautiful eyes of hers actually gleamed with a sharpness akin to the edge of a blade, staring straight at them with no fear at all.
"What a joke. Who knows what the true effect of this pill is? If you guys tampered with it, wouldn't Shang Li say whatever you want her to say?" Zai Qiu coldly spoke.
"Zai Qiu, why is there such a stupid member of the clan?" Mo Qingcheng stared at Zai Qiu, her cold voice causing Zai Qiu's countenance to instantly turn incomparably unsightly to behold as killing intent gushed forth from him.
"After she consumes the pill, there's no need for us to question her. Isn't it enough for you guys to question her? If you still suspect that there's a problem with the pill, the Royal Sacred Sect is the hegemon of this world and they have many powerful alchemists. It's extremely easy for them to take the pill and appraise it. If there's a problem with the pill, I, Mo Qingcheng, can use my life to pay for it. "
Mo Qingcheng's voice was filled with determination as she continued, "If the Royal Sacred Sect doesn't wish for Shang Li to consume the pill, there's no need for you guys to waste any more time talking nonsense. If you want to kill her, just do it. There's no need for you guys to make things worse. The Royal Sacred Sect is truly a laughing stock."
As the sound of her voice faded, the entire space fell silent. Mo Qingcheng's words were irrefutable. If she suspected that there was a problem with the pill, she would use her life to pay for it. Not only that, the Royal Sacred Sect did indeed have powerful alchemists.
"Too impudent. When did the matters of my Royal Sacred Sect become something that a lass like you can interfere in? What a joke!" An old man berated, his words causing the entire space to tremble. A stifling pressure gushed forth, enveloping Mo Qingcheng. Under this terrifying pressure, Mo Qingcheng found it hard to even breathe.
Qin Wentian stepped out, standing shoulder to shoulder with Mo Qingcheng. At this moment, Mo Qingcheng's countenance was filled with determination, there was no fear in her eyes. Her back was still straight as she stared at the old man, "In this vast world, the Royal Sacred Region governs the nine great sects, Grand Shang, and Grand Zhou, gathering all the heroes of the world here. Although they didn't truly govern the world, in truth, they have already grasped the authority of the world. If they want to kill someone, no one can stop them. Today, with just a single command, they would be able to cause our blood to splatter five steps away from them, announcing this to the world. After that, they would use iron-blooded methods to suppress those who dare to criticize the Royal Sacred Sect. All these, the Royal Sacred Sect has already accomplished. This is why Zai Qiu is so arrogant."
"It's just that the Royal Sacred Sect has today's prosperity, ruling over an entire region for countless years, being revered as a sacred ground by the entire world. What did they depend on to suppress the entire world? Generation after generation of geniuses came here to join the Royal Sacred Sect. What you guys did today might not be sufficient to shake the foundation of the Royal Sacred Sect, but if the entire world is divided, ten years later, a hundred years later, or even a thousand years later, I wonder if the Royal Sacred Sect would still be able to stand tall, unshakable."
Mo Qingcheng's voice rang out, her long black hair fluttered in the wind. A single sentence from her actually caused the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect to be dumbfounded. They stared dumbfoundedly at the supreme beauty before them, it was very hard to imagine that Mo Qingcheng would actually be able to say such words.
"Well said, as expected of the disciple of this seat. The Bewilderment Pill was concocted by this seat, who in the entire Royal Sacred Region would dare to doubt it? If you guys don't dare to let that maiden consume it, in that case, don't even think of saying that you are guilty. Qin Wentian is already engaged to my disciple, Mo Qingcheng. If the Royal Sacred Sect dares to kill him, this seat's temper wouldn't be so good either."
An ethereal voice drifted over from the sky, unfathomable and untraceable. Within the Royal Sacred Sect, numerous tyrannical auras soared up into the skies, wanting to find the location of the person who spoke.
"Since everyone has already arrived at my Royal Sacred Sect, why is there still a need to hide?" A voice rang out from within the Royal Sacred Sect. As the sound of his voice faded, the silhouettes of two old men appeared not far away from Mo Qingcheng. They were none other than the two old men who had appeared outside the Immortal Martial Realm back then.
Other than them, there was another group of silhouettes walking over from another direction. These people were all clad in white, exuding an aura that caused the gazes of many to freeze.
These people were actually envoys of the Immortal Martial Realm!
"Qin Wentian, if the Royal Sacred Sect doesn't welcome you, the great gates of the Immortal Martial Realm are still wide open for you." One of the envoys from the Immortal Martial Realm spoke. Qin Wentian stared at that person, it was actually none other than the Realmlord of the Immortal Martial Realm, Wu Mu!
