"Miss Yin, it is all thanks to you that our Sacred Sun Clan was able to find the location of you Master and disciple."
"No! It's not like that! I didn't do it on purpose! I didn't know that you were of the Sacred Sun Clan at all! I didn't do it on purpose! "
"That's right, you indeed didn't know that I was of the Sacred Sun Clan. However, would your Broad Creed Mountain believe your words? Even if they did, even if it was an unintentional mistake, do you think that you won't have to bear responsibility for it? "
"I … I didn't know that it would turn out like this …"
"If it was Feng Yunsheng who had committed such an unintentional mistake, perhaps a few words of reprimand might have been enough. However, you are different. With such an outstanding person by your side as a comparison, it would already be wrong for you not to have made a mistake, let alone adding to your mistake now?"
"You … you don't have to say anymore … let me go, I won't reveal your identity …"
"Miss Yin, the one you should be exposing is not me, but your senior apprentice-sister."
"You … what did you say?!"
"Feng Yunsheng has actually always been of my Sacred Sun Clan, lying in ambush in Broad Creed Mountain. In the end, your Master Enshu saw through her in the East Sea this time. Before your Master could be completely sure, she made the first move, contacting our Sacred Sun Clan's Elder Meng and killing Fu Enshu to silence her. What do you think of this truth? "
"How? You … I understand, your Sacred Sun Clan has no confidence in winning the Extreme Yin Bout this time, thus resorting to such a method! "
"This is not something you should be concerned about. What you need to consider is … if it wasn't her who leaked the secret, it would be you …"
Returning from the East Sea, these voices had been reverberating unceasingly within Yin Liuhua's mind.
But gradually, a new idea popped up.
Like the Heavenly Thunder Hall and Infinite Boundless Mountain, if they only had a single Maiden of Extreme Yin, no matter what her results were, the Heavenly Thunder Hall and Infinite Boundless Mountain would only be able to pinch their noses and accept it. Even if there was just the slightest possibility, they would still put in their greatest effort.
The Heavenly Thunder Hall's Nian Lei and Infinite Boundless Mountain's Ling Hui had practically always been at the bottom of the Extreme Yin Bouts every year, but their positions in their respective clans had always been special.
At least, even now, the patience of the Heavenly Thunder Hall and Infinite Boundless Mountain had still not run out yet.
"If it's just me … If it's just me …"
Gradually, all the other voices vanished, with only this one remaining gradually filling Yin Liuhua's mind.
"Martial Nephew Yin, please come in."
Hearing Chang Zheng's voice, Yin Liuhua's entire body shivered as she regained her wits.
She took a deep breath, knowing that the most crucial moment of her life had arrived.
After entering the great hall, Yin Liuhua bowed towards Zhang Kun, Chang Zheng and the others. Chang Zheng pointed at Hong Jiaqi, "This Mister Hong testifies that junior apprentice-niece Feng is a spy of the Sacred Sun Clan who has infiltrated our clan, also claiming that it was because junior apprentice-sister Fu discovered this secret that she was betrayed by junior apprentice-niece Feng, drawing over experts of the Sacred Sun Clan to silence her."
"He said that apart from him, you were also a witness. He said that he could perform the Blood Soul Recollection Ritual with you to prove it."
"Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard you mention this before? "
Chang Zheng stared intently at Yin Liuhua. Not only was he the First Seat Elder in charge of the clan's disciplinary laws, he was also a late Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster.
His gaze seemed to be able to crush Yin Liuhua's body as no secrets could be hidden from her.
Yin Liuhua's body trembled, her soul nearly scattering.
However, she then felt that while Chang Zheng's gaze still seemed the same, it was no longer as shocking to her as it had been at the start.
Zhang Kun and Elder Qin clearly trusted Chang Zheng greatly, not intending to overstep their authority as they left the situation to the First Seat Elder of the Disciplinary Hall, Chang Zheng.
Yin Liuhua composed herself, saying timidly, "This disciple cannot be certain. At that time, Master was clashing with the enemy. This disciple did not dare to get close at all, even being blown all over by the aftershocks of their battle, unable to distinguish north from south."
"All that I saw and heard were also just words, fragmented and fragmented."
She glanced at Feng Yunsheng, "Senior apprentice-sister Feng has always performed well, also taking great care of this disciple. This disciple feels that she must have been mistaken, therefore not daring to speak nonsense."
Chang Zheng asked, "Mister Hong wants to perform the Blood Soul Recollection Ritual with you. Are you willing?"
Looking rather worriedly at Feng Yunsheng, Yin Liuhua said hesitantly, "This disciple … this disciple …"
Feng Yunsheng looked fixedly at Yin Liuhua, her gaze shifting between Yin Liuhua and Hong Jiaqi.
Zhang Kun and Elder Qin both frowned.
Seeing this, Chang Zheng flicked his finger, a streak of light flying into the air, transforming into a pillar of light within the great hall as it enveloped both Yin Liuhua and Hong Jiaqi.
Hong Jiaqi did not hesitate in the slightest as he pricked his finger, a bit of fresh blood seeping out, forming a thread of blood which coiled within the pillar of light.
Under Chang Zheng's guidance, Yin Liuhua did the same.
The next moment, a mirror of light slowly descended within the great hall.
An image appeared within the mirror of light. As everyone looked over, shocked looks could not help but appear on their faces.
That was the scene of the seal having already been formed that day, the power of the seal causing frenzied tides to spread unceasingly in all directions.
Then, they saw Fu Enshu currently in the midst of a great battle with Meng Feng.
"To think, to think, to think, to really think! The disciple that I, Fu Enshu, am most proud of, was actually raised by the Sacred Sun Clan! " Fu Enshu's voice resounded amidst the tempest, filled with disappointment and hatred, "What a good ruse your Sacred Sun Clan played, sacrificing even Pan Botai's grandson?"
Meng Feng's voice was majestic as the heavens, "If you had not discovered Mu Ge's secret, you could originally have been allowed to live for a little longer. After all, according to Mu Ge, you trusted and cared for her greatly."
"Sadly, however, you just had to be meddlesome, sending yourself to your death in the end. You cannot blame others for that."
Fu Enshu said coldly, "Even if I die, I will also drag you, old fart of the Sacred Sun Clan, down with me!"
As the two sides battled to their hearts' content, Fu Enshu made a risky move, pushing herself and Meng Feng into the frenzied tides formed of the power of the seal, perishing together with them!
The scene of light vanished at this point, the tragic aura within seeming to still circulate within the great hall.
Zhang Kun and Elder Qin exchanged looks, their faces darkening.
Yin Liuhua's body shook as she looked rather shockingly at Feng Yunsheng.
Feng Yunsheng no longer looked at Hong Jiaqi, instead staring straight at Yin Liuhua.
Chang Zheng waved his hands, cutting off Feng Yunsheng's forceful gaze from Yin Liuhua as he said slowly, "Junior apprentice-niece Feng, it is not that you are not being given a chance to defend yourself. What do you have to say?"
Feng Yunsheng said, "It wasn't me."
Chang Zheng asked, "Then who was it?"
Feng Yunsheng looked at Yin Liuhua once more.
Yin Liuhua had initially been separated from them, only having been able to reunite with them with the help of others. As the situation had been too chaotic at that time, Fu Enshu had not mentioned it to Feng Yunsheng after receiving Yin Liuhua.
However, Feng Yunsheng clearly knew that she was not a spy of the Sacred Sun Clan!
Therefore, there was definitely something wrong with this Blood Soul Recollection Ceremony.
Either the scene was fake, or her Master Fu Enshu had been misled by someone back then, thus misunderstanding her.
Feng Yunsheng felt that she had been schemed against by someone.
It was not just a single person. Instead, it was as if a great net had enveloped over her.
Fury blazed within Feng Yunsheng's eyes. She closed them before opening them again, her gaze much calmer than before, "I was falsely accused by someone."
Her gaze swept across Yin Liuhua and Hong Jiaqi, "The Blood Soul Recollection Ceremony can similarly be faked!"
Hearing her words, Hong Jiaqi smiled coldly. Yin Liuhua pursed her lips tightly. While her expression could still be considered calm, her heart tightened.
Feng Yunsheng's words were equivalent to pointing the spearhead at her. There was no longer any leeway between them as fellow disciples. (To be continued.)
