Chapter 104: Chapter 103: Pure Slander

Inside the Tortoise Shell, Xie Jiuniang extended her Divine Sense and discovered that the newcomer was Elder Chaoyan. She immediately poked her small head out and cried out loudly, "Master! Elder Wu has killed Lord Ziyang’s disciple!"

What?

Elder Chaoyan’s brows shot up.

Unbelieving, yet not bothering to miss an opportunity to kick a man when he’s down.

However, Xie Jiuniang hurriedly continued, "He’s shameless! After killing someone, he even wants to frame me!"

"Youngster! How dare you spout such nonsense!"

Wu Sheng was extremely anxious.

A great opportunity was slipping away in an instant; if he missed this one, there would never be another chance! But at this moment, he was facing the great array, with the threat of Chaoyan behind him.

A great opportunity ahead, to fight desperately?

Elder Chaoyan was surprised by Wu Sheng’s persistence, and he looked at the girl who had retracted into the array and the Great Tortoise Shell, finding it both amusing and infuriating.

This girl is really troublesome!

Upon seeing that Wu Sheng hadn’t given up, Elder Chaoyan’s aura surged as he threatened, "Wu Sheng, you dare to kill my disciple, this is a grievance of life and death!"

Wu Sheng struggled internally, "When did you take on a disciple?"

"It’s none of your business what I do," snapped Elder Chaoyan, his words sharp enough to suffocate.

The two were at daggers drawn and tensions were high.

"Stop! What are you two doing? Do you want to ruin the entire back mountain?"

Suddenly, a soul-stirring rebuke thundered out, making both Nascent Soul cultivators turn pale.

On the contrary, Xie Jiuniang inside the Tortoise Shell was safe and sound. She touched her chest thankfully and used a piece of Rainbow Stone to plug the small hole in the Tortoise Shell.

Both the Formation and the Rainbow Stone could block Divine Sense probes. This way, she wouldn’t have to worry about being discovered inside the Tortoise Shell no matter what she did.

Xie Jiuniang decisively took out the Fusang Order she had acquired from Xie Ying, which was identical to the one she had.

She lifted her finger, erased the aura belonging to Xie Ying on the token, and forced out a drop of Xie Ying’s blood, then took out her own token.

Who wouldn’t want a great opportunity?

Wu Sheng had attacked her shamelessly, certainly convinced she had taken Xie Ying’s chance and wanted to snatch it. Had it not been for the seventh-tier Array Plate sent by Lord Guangcheng, she would probably have been in deep trouble today.

There must have been a Divinity Transformation expert appearing outside.

In front of a powerful being, it would not be easy for a small fry to hide.

Xie Jiuniang still held the firm belief that the best treasures are only truly hers once they recognize her as their master!

In a short while, a green light flashed, and the two tokens once again merged successfully!

Unlike the silent merge last time, this time there was a flash of green light.

Xie Jiuniang finally felt the connection with the token. She immediately used her Divine Sense to form a seal and initiated the recognition of ownership.

Regardless of what was happening outside, Xie Jiuniang didn’t care; she was focused on integrating the Fusang Order.

There wasn’t a second to lose.

Fortunately, her Sea of Consciousness was exceptional, and with just a bit of time, there would be no problem for the token to recognize her as its master.

Just given enough time...

Almost at the same time, a Divinity Transformation expert appeared outside.

Then another Divinity Transformation expert!

Following them was a man dressed in the Sect Master’s attire, the current Sect Master of Tianxu Sect, True Lord Chaoruo.

The great disturbance in the back mountain, and the anomaly of spiritual energy, had unsurprisingly alarmed the strong members of the Sect.

True Lord Chaoruo called out, "Chaoyan, do not act rashly."

"Big Brother, uh... greetings to the Sect Master! Greetings to both True Lords," Elder Chaoyan reluctantly sheathed his sword, "...now that you’ve arrived, I’ll skip the pleasantries. Wu Sheng attempted to kill my disciple, and this matter is not over. My disciple said that Wu Sheng killed Lord Ziyang’s disciple and wanted to blame her, then silence her."

"Nonsense, nonsense," Wu Sheng had already put away his Exclusive Magic Treasure.

His old face was flushed red.

The immense pressure from the two Divinity Transformation experts was too strong, suffocating Wu Sheng who tried to defend himself, but could only manage to gasp out two words.

The situation was highly unfavorable to him just moments ago.

True Lord Chaoruo’s gaze fell upon Chaoyan, and he transmitted his voice, "When did you take on a disciple?"

"I just took a liking to one, haven’t formally accepted them as my disciple yet," Chaoyan replied straightforwardly.

Chaoruo was at a loss for words.

The two were communicating through voice transmission.

Meanwhile, the other two who were undergoing Divinity Transformation were also having a private chat.

One of them couldn’t help but chuckle and transmit, "Guangcheng, doesn’t this Array Plate look familiar to you?"

"I thought you’d be interested in the Great Tortoise Shell," Lord Guangcheng had observed the situation within the formation early on, his eyes fixed on a piece of Rainbow Stone that was peeking out.

The man said, "The Great Tortoise Shell is indeed a fine item, but it doesn’t interest me. However, that little disciple inside does catch my interest."

Lord Guangcheng thought to himself.

This brat is truly a headache to deal with.

Last time purposefully throwing in a seventh-rank Array Plate was to make certain she couldn’t use it, because a minor in Qi Cultivation only has so much wealth, and activating a seventh-rank Array Plate requires Superior Spirit Stones. One can only look at it, not use it, which would suffocate anyone.

But the youngster turned out to be quite capable.

Actually using a seventh-rank to preserve their life, even forcing a Nascent Soul to make a move to break the formation.

Among the five, only Wu Sheng was having a difficult time, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead. No one inquired about the course of events that befell him.

They were all waiting for the person inside the Tortoise Shell to show up.

They waited and waited, but firmly no one came out.

Chaoyan tapped the Array Barrier and said, "Little girl, come out. It’s safe outside now."

No response?

So Chaoyan thickened his skin and said, "Could it be that she was overwhelmed by the presence of the Divinity Transformation and fainted? My disciple is still just a minor in Qi Cultivation."

That was the only explanation.

Logically, after stopping the two Nascent Souls from fighting and with the Sect Master coming to handle the situation, the two undergoing Divinity Transformation should have left, but both lingered.

One was staring at the Great Tortoise Shell.

The other was interested in the Rainbow Stone.

They didn’t wait for Xie Jiuniang to surface but ended up waiting for Lord Ziyang.

Lord Ziyang greeted the two undergoing Divinity Transformation, Guangcheng, and then turned to Chaoruo, asking, "Sect Master, what matter have you called me here for?"

Sect Master Chaoruo said, "This matter involves your disciple, so I’ll let my apprentice brother explain."

"Lord Ziyang, I received a distress signal from my disciple. By coincidence, I arrived just in time to see Wu Sheng looking to silence someone by murder. My disciple says that Wu Sheng wanted to kill your disciple and then blame it on her," Chaoyan’s words undoubtedly scared Wu Sheng half to death.

Wu Sheng felt the pressure on him lift and immediately defended, "This is a pure slander! That little disciple is full of nonsense, not a single word of truth. I happened to stumble upon her... attempting to murder... "

He almost let slip.

He nearly forgot that Xie Ying was disguised...

Lord Ziyang’s Divine Sense stirred, and he said indifferently, "There’s no corpse within a hundred miles, but there is a Small Isolation Array, and the person inside is not dead."

Cough!

In this situation...

How could Lord Guangcheng and the others not know?

They all knew!

A common Small Isolation Array could not block the Divine Sense of one undergoing Divinity Transformation, and Xie Ying’s identity could not be concealed. She donned a large Cloak and wore a mask, her movements highly suspicious. They left some dignity for Lord Ziyang by not pointing it out from the start.

The specific circumstances still required the person involved to come out and explain clearly.

Lord Ziyang’s figure disappeared, and then, after a while, he returned with a person by his side.

Xie Ying had already woken up, removed her mask, and appeared somewhat disoriented.

Sect Master Chaoruo turned his gaze back to Chaoyan.

Lord Ziyang raised his hand and struck the seventh-rank Formation, the Barrier shook, and after a few breaths, it stabilized once again.

This surprised everyone present.
