"Me?!" Feng Yunsheng looked shockingly at Chang Zheng, only to see both Chang Zheng and Zhang Kun looking at her with solemn expressions on their faces.
Feng Yunsheng composed herself, saying in a heavy tone, "The debt of gratitude towards Master is as heavy as a mountain. How could I possibly divulge her whereabouts to those of the Sacred Sun Clan?"
Elder Qin had only hurried over in shock after having received Chang Zheng's notification earlier, not understanding the details of the matter.
Seeing that Feng Yunsheng did not seem to be faking it, he sent a sound transmission to Chang Zheng and Zhang Kun doubtfully, "Could it be an unintentional mistake?"
Chang Zheng shook his head lightly, saying, "Not only did the other party accuse you of divulging junior apprentice-sister Fu's whereabouts, he also gave you the reason for doing so."
Feng Yunsheng raised her brows slightly, "What did he falsely accuse me of?"
"Whether it is a false accusation or not is not something that can be determined with just a few words." Chang Zheng glanced at Feng Yunsheng, his tone turning cold, "According to the other party, you divulged junior apprentice-sister Fu's whereabouts because she discovered that you were secretly interacting with the Sacred Sun Clan, your relationship unclear."
"After discovering that junior apprentice-sister Fu had discovered your secret, in order to keep it a secret, you sold her out to those of the Sacred Sun Clan, their experts coming to silence you."
"Meng Feng's original target was not you and junior apprentice-niece Yin who are Maidens of Extreme Yin. Junior apprentice-sister Fu also did not meet with danger in order to protect you. Instead, it was the Sacred Sun Clan who had been targeting junior apprentice-sister Fu from the start. Junior apprentice-sister Fu was the one they wanted to get rid of."
Feng Yunsheng was first greatly enraged, but she forced herself to calm down, "May I ask where the informant that senior apprentice-uncle speaks of is? I am willing to confront him face to face. "
"The other party is purely spouting nonsense, making things up out of nothing."
Elder Qin looked somewhat doubtfully at Chang Zheng and Zhang Kun.
Feng Yunsheng was not an ordinary disciple of Broad Creed Mountain. Accurately speaking, she was not an ordinary direct disciple of Broad Creed Mountain.
While she was inferior to Yan Zhaoge, she possessed a special significance that ordinary people did not possess. To the entire clan, she possessed a strategic value that far surpassed her current strength and cultivation base.
It would be fine if she was useless, but from her performance in the fifth and sixth Extreme Yin Bouts, Feng Yunsheng was already the strongest contender for the Extreme Yin Crown.
It was publicly acknowledged by the entire Eight Extremities World that the Sacred Sun Clan's Meng Wan might not be able to come out on top in this Seventh Extreme Yin Bout.
Although Feng Yunsheng had lost to Meng Wan by a single move in the Sixth Extreme Yin Bout, the momentum of her improvement was even fiercer than Meng Wan's.
In the current Eight Extremities World, Feng Yunsheng's name had already spread far and wide.
Because of Yan Zhaoge's existence, virtually all of Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation were enveloped by his radiance, Feng Yunsheng being a rare exception.
Such a disciple was a treasure among treasures to any force, and could be treated as half a Saint Weapon.
He had to protect his own family, and he had to think of ways to deal with his enemies.
Generally speaking, the sect would naturally be biased towards their own disciples when it came to such accusations from the outside world.
This was the case for Elder Qin. After meeting Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng in the Eastern Tang Kingdom of the East Heaven Region that year, he had first made the decision to have Feng Yunsheng stay behind.
All along, his impression of Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng had been pretty good. At this moment, the crime that Feng Yunsheng was accused of was actually not of leaking Fu Enshu's whereabouts, but of intentionally colluding with the enemy and murdering her Master. Elder Qin's first reaction was disbelief.
After all, betraying the clan, colluding with the enemy and deceiving one's Master and killing one's Master were all great crimes of the first order no matter which sect it was.
As soon as it was verified, there would be no other outcome other than death.
The Sacred Sun Clan had always wanted to get rid of Feng Yunsheng, and it was still like this even now.
Feng Yunsheng's situation was rather special. Not just when she had entered the clan, she had been subjected to Broad Creed Mountain's investigations both overtly and covertly for a rather long period of time afterwards, finally passing all of them, thus achieving her current status.
Elder Qin felt that under such circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems with Feng Yunsheng. If there had been, it should have been discovered long ago. Why would they have waited until now?
Looking at Elder Qin, Chang Zheng slowly nodded.
Seeing his solemn look, Elder Qin's heart sank.
Chang Zheng swivelled his head to look at Feng Yunsheng, first not mentioning the matter of confronting her as he instead asked, "When you were separated from junior apprentice-sister Fu, was junior apprentice-niece Yin still together with her? Or were they separated as well? "
"At that time, Master and junior apprentice-sister Yin should have been together. It was only I who was blown away by a hurricane-like flow of qi," Feng Yunsheng answered, "Afterwards, I heard junior apprentice-sister Yin say that she was separated from Master after that as well."
Chang Zheng asked again, "After you were separated from junior apprentice-sister Fu and the others, did you meet anyone else?"
Feng Yunsheng shook her head, "No. The next person I met was found by the clan's Elders."
Chang Zheng stared at Feng Yunsheng for a while before he slowly said, "There is indeed a need to confront her, but not with you."
He sent his voice out with his true essence, "Bring Hong Jiaqi in."
Hong Jiaqi was the one who had come to testify against Feng Yunsheng. He was a solitary martial practitioner active in the region of the East Sea, possessing an Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster cultivation base as he belonged to no clan or clan.
Chang Zheng looked at Hong Jiaqi, "We are old acquaintances. This Chang is deeply moved by your specially rushing over to deliver this news. Still, this matter is of great importance. Junior apprentice-niece Feng is our clan's direct disciple, her performance having always been outstanding."
Hong Jiaqi said calmly, "Elder Chang, it is precisely because you and I are acquainted that I have made this trip."
"Let's not even mention the matters of the past. Just this time alone, your clan has suppressed the Earth Domain on one hand and battled the Flame Devils on the other, sacrificing countless experts on the other. Your sacrifices are immense, your contributions lasting for many generations to come."
"In the Eight Extremities World having been able to tide through the great tribulation of the Flame Devils and the Nine Underworlds Evil Devils this time, your clan's greatest contribution is to stab us in the back."
"Instead, the Sacred Sun Clan stabbed us in the back when the entire Eight Extremities World was resisting external enemies together."
"While I belong to no clan or clan and my cultivation base is shallow, I too cannot stand the actions of such vile people. I am even more unwilling for your clan to still be schemed against by the schemes of the Ghost Domain after having already shed blood and sacrificed for this human realm. Therefore, I have made this trip."
Hong Jiaqi cupped his hands towards Chang Zheng and the others, "I am also not very clear on the detailed situation of your clan's disciples, also not knowing if there are still secrets hidden within. I can only narrate what I have seen and heard. As for how to deal with this, I believe that Elder Chang and you all will naturally be able to decide."
Feng Yunsheng frowned as she looked at Hong Jiaqi, "I am not acquainted with you. Could there be some misunderstanding here?"
Hong Jiaqi swivelled his head to look at Feng Yunsheng, "You are Feng Yunsheng?"
Feng Yunsheng said, "That's right."
Hong Jiaqi glanced deeply at Feng Yunsheng, saying in a rather obscure tone, "You and I have indeed never met before. It is fortunate that this is so. Otherwise, I might have long since ended up like your Master."
Feng Yunsheng raised her brows, Chang Zheng raising a hand to stop her from speaking, "Junior apprentice-niece Feng, I have already said that the one who wants to confront him is not you."
He then raised his voice, "Junior apprentice-niece Yin, please come in."
Feng Yunsheng was taken aback. Swivelling her head, she saw Yin Liuhua enter the great hall.
Looking at Hong Jiaqi and Yin Liuhua, Chang Zheng said, "In order to return the truth, the Blood Soul Recollection Ceremony will be carried out. Do the two of you have any objections?"
