"Save me, Sect Master!" Tang Xinrong shouted.
An Immeasurable Jade Annulus appeared between Guan Shanhai and Tang Xinrong in an unbelievable instant.
"Brother Shanhai, why are you making things difficult for Junior Brother Tang?" A sage-like Daoist holding a horsetail whisk descended from the sky and landed beside Tang Xinrong. He wore a fitting purple Daoist robe and a crown on his head. Although he wore a smile on his face, he gave off the feeling that he was looking down on the world.
Guan Shanhai's sword finger did not stop in the end. It touched the Immeasurable Jade Annulus. There was a loud "dong", as if a bronze bell had been struck. The sound traveled hundreds of miles. Su Jin and the others who were watching were forced to flee in all directions. In the next moment, the ground of the square cracked. Looking down from above, one could see the cracks spreading in all directions like a spider's web.
When everything stopped, the most important core area of the Five Elements Court, apart from the Thunder God Temple, was no longer intact. Broken walls and ruins were everywhere. It was even more tragic than when the Demon Race had attacked.
Facing the two of them, it was as if nothing had happened. They stood apart from each other.
Su Jin landed on the ground and looked at the mess. He wanted to cry, but he did not dare to lose his temper. He could only brace himself and walk forward. "Sect Masters, the Thunder God Temple worships the ancestral spirit of the Five Elements Court. Can you please restrain yourself?"
The person who came was also a sect master. He was Li Banshan from the Dao Court.
"Sorry for my lack of manners." Li Banshan smiled humbly.
Guan Shanhai was about to speak when he suddenly paused. He looked up at the horizon and saw a sword light flying through the clouds. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the square. Seeing the person who came, his brows relaxed slightly. "Junior Brother is here."
The person who came was none other than Su Xiaojian, who had rushed over from the Bodhi Temple at full speed. His face was covered in dust. It was obvious that he had not stopped along the way.
"Senior Brother." Su Xiaojian bowed to Guan Shanhai.
The two of them faced Li Banshan together. The situation between the two sides suddenly became subtle. The faces of Su Jin and the others changed slightly. Originally, as the chief of the Court Of Sword, he had to be concerned about the continued existence of the Court Of Sword. However, Su Xiaojian was different. This person usually looked magnanimous, humble, approachable, and even dressed a little old-fashioned like a farmer. However, once he went berserk, he was a lunatic who would even dare to hand over a sword to the Demonic Monarch. And now, there was even a rumor that he was able to fight against Lu Yunyin in the Asura World for days without losing. Lu Yunyin's name had already spread throughout the world hundreds of years ago. It would not be an exaggeration to call her the number one person in the universe. Su Xiaojian was able to fight against her, so his strength was evident.
He was not afraid of him at all.
Liang Chaoyuan quickly stood up and greeted, "Little Sword, Peak Lord, how have you been?" After saying that, he found that Su Xiaojian's face was cold and did not say a word. He did not even look at him. He was a little embarrassed and annoyed. "Yan Li has demonic blood flowing in his body. No matter what, he cannot be cleared of suspicion. Now that Supreme Banshan is here to uphold justice, what else does the Court Of Sword have to say?"
Of course, the Court Of Sword had something to say. Su Xiaojian said straightforwardly, "Release him!"
"It's impossible to release him!" Xiang Youshan said coldly. "Since he is a demon, he should be executed on the spot. Keeping him alive until today is already giving the Court Of Sword enough face."
Su Xiaojian did not look at anyone but Guan Shanhai.
Guan Shanhai clasped his hands behind his back and said proudly, "No one can bully the Court Of Sword." A few decades ago, the Court Of Sword was only ranked in the middle among the Nine Elites. He had been working hard for this goal since he took office. Today, the results were outstanding.
After getting an affirmative answer, Su Xiaojian curled his lips and pointed at Li Banshan. "Hierarch Li, no matter who my disciples are and what mistakes they have made, they should be dealt with by me. Am I right?"
Li Banshan smiled and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he said, "Why don't you listen to the testimony of those witnesses first before making a decision?" Then, without giving any chance to refuse, he ordered, "Invite those witnesses here." As he said this, he went straight into the hall. Tang Xinrong and the others followed closely behind.
The two brothers looked at each other. Guan Shanhai said, "There's no harm in learning." The two walked in.
Inside, except for Li Banshan who occupied the seat of honor, everyone else stood, showing his honor as the world's number one Confucian orthodoxy hierarch. The two brothers did not care about this and went straight to their seats.
Not long after, more than ten disciples from various sects filed in. There were even one or two independent people among them. Su Xiaojian's gaze quickly swept across the crowd. When he saw a woman among them, he could not help but be stunned. The reason why he looked at her was naturally not because the gloomy and gloomy Thunder God Temple's hall was suddenly lit up because of her devastatingly beautiful appearance, but because he was not unfamiliar with this woman.
"Miss Zhi Yuan." Su Xiaojian finally could not help but call out to her.
There was definitely no other woman in the world who would call out to her like this. Perhaps there might be someone with the same name, but they would never make Su Xiaojian call out to her.
Unlike most nervous witnesses, Ji Zhiyuan appeared too calm. It was as if the person she was about to testify against was a complete stranger.
She was a stranger.
"Xiaojian, Peak Lord." Ji Zhiyuan was still polite and considerate. There was no uneasiness between his brows because of the faint pressure coming from Su Xiaojian.
"You're here?" Su Xiaojian did not like to beat around the bush.
Ji Zhiyuan said matter-of-factly, "Naturally, I'm here to testify against Yan Li."
"You also think that he's a spy?" Su Xiaojian asked.
"I'm the same as most of my peers. I think that many things are too coincidental," Ji Zhiyuan said.
Su Xiaojian nodded and said no more. He did not blame Ji Zhiyuan, but it was a pity that Yan Li threw himself into the Purgatory Formation without a care for his own safety. It turned out to be his own wishful thinking. He then looked at the others and realized that among the witnesses, there was only one disciple from the Five Elements Court.
Li Banshan said, "Alright, since everyone is here, you can speak one by one. Tell me what you're worried about. You first. "He pointed at one of the disciples and said.
The one he pointed at was the disciple from Upper Wilderness God Temple. His gaze was evasive, not daring to look at the two terrifying fellows from the Court Of Sword. He said in a low voice, "I'll only say one. After Yan Li escaped from the Icebound Mountains, he said that he went to look for the Fire Leeches. In the end, although he found the Fire Leeches, he also brought back a female devil. That female devil is currently imprisoned by the Kunlun Sect Leader at the peak of Kunlun. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask for proof. I, I'm done … … "After saying this, he hurriedly stood to the side.
Ji Zhiyuan was the second. She said indifferently, "Yan Li has been a devil since a long time ago. The result of the Soaring Dragon Rankings Examination in Tianjing must have had the help of Li Xueyi. Otherwise, how could he have killed Lone Eagle in Tianjing when he had just entered enlightenment?"
What followed was all kinds of guesses and deductions. A few wanderers of the pugilistic world spoke with certainty, saying that they had seen Yan Li and Li Xueyi interact.
When the witnesses finished speaking, Guan Shanhai slapped the back of his chair and stood up. He scolded angrily, "What kind of bullsh * t is this? You can't even take out a single piece of evidence, yet you dare to frame a disciple of the Court Of Sword?" When he was angry, everyone cowered and dodged, afraid that they would be killed if they were not careful. After all, a sneeze from this True Sovereign might be able to flatten a mountain.
Li Banshan smiled and said, "Brother Shanhai, please calm down. If the blood flowing in Yan Li's body wasn't devil blood, these speculations naturally wouldn't be reliable. What we can do now is … "Before he could finish his sentence, a rough and wild voice came from outside.
"My disciple Yan Li, where are you? Master has come to save you!"
