Chapter 466: Chapter 465 Public Trial

The Mo Family ancestor, seized by panic and despair, suddenly heard this familiar voice and was so agitated he nearly cried.

Lord Guanlan appeared, intending to prevent Xie Jiuniang from killing, but instead he broke the formation and stepped into the water cell just in time to witness Xie Jiuniang’s sword fall.

The sword did not stop at his voice.

On the contrary, it moved faster!

In an instant, it pierced into the Mo Family ancestor’s brow!

In the moment filled with hope, to chop it off, this act was somewhat cruel.

As the last strand of life was severed, almost simultaneously, the seal in the Mo Family ancestor’s dantian and the restriction in his sea of consciousness dissolved. In the next moment, before his spiritual soul could emerge from his body, it was Xie Jiuniang who used the power of the Law of Time to directly yank his soul out and, before the eyes of Lord Guanlan, stored it away.

Glancing inside her sea of consciousness to confirm that the Mo Family ancestor’s spiritual soul hadn’t escaped, Xie Jiuniang then calmly turned to the doorway and calmly stored the Broken Sword into her Contract Space.

She also wiped the blood from the knife.

Then she collected the puppet that was aside.

"Lord Guanlan, you’re here," Xie Jiuniang greeted as if nothing had happened, her manner quite respectful.

Lord Guanlan looked at the bloody murder scene in the water cell and, for a moment, could not utter a single word that had reached his lips.

The girl in front of him had delicate features, so beautiful it was almost absurd, but who could have imagined she was capable of such a shocking act.

Could even an evil cultivator do such a thing?

Xie Jiuniang treated Lord Guanlan very well. She even specially chained up the nearby prisoners, used the Dust Cleansing Technique to clean them, walked over, and handed them to Guanlan, "Thank you for today, my Lord."

Lord Guanlan’s eyelid twitched.

He had let some things slide, never expecting her to be so astute.

He raised his hand and the chains in her hand moved again—not to retract back into his hand, but to imprison Xie Jiuniang, who stood before him.

Xie Jiuniang seemed to have anticipated this, her expression unchanged.

"You’re not surprised? You expected this?" Lord Guanlan assessed the somewhat legendary girl in front of him. "I once heard that you possess the ability to foresee. Could it be that it was not a rumor but the truth?"

"It’s true, I possess the Law of Time," Xie Jiuniang replied candidly.

Lord Guanlan walked past Xie Jiuniang, behind her, looking down at the dismembered Mo Family ancestor.

He deduced the brutal killing that had taken place on the scene.

Such an act is not committed without deep-seated hatred!

His eyes held a complex look, "Chaoyan indeed took on a good disciple."

"Lord, your praise is too kind. I dare not accept it," Xie Jiuniang felt that her master was unlucky to have taken her as a disciple. Otherwise, he could have lived on well, rather than being dragged to death by her.

Lord Guanlan then came to admire this younger generation.

In such a situation, she remained so calm and composed. He wasn’t merely making small talk—Chaoyan truly took on an extraordinary disciple. For his sake, she was prepared to cast everything aside.

He can rest in peace now.

Lord Guanlan sighed inwardly, and with a gesture, a fire-based technique eradicated all traces on the ground.

Then he took Xie Jiuniang and left the water cell.

Surely enough, Xie Jiuniang was soon present in the grand hall of the Alliance Council. The last time she came here was for Lord Muyi’s trial, and now it was her turn, even standing in the same spot.

The assembly was even larger than the last time.

The reason was that this time, they had been involved in a great battle with the Demon Lord, deploying many Divinity Transformed beings, along with some who emerged from seclusion.

Most of the Divinity Transformed beings, Xie Jiuniang did not recognize.

Besides the Alliance Hierarch, there were seats on the left and right for five Alliance Council elders, one of which belonged to Lord Qiansha.

At the Tianxu Sect’s seats, many Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Sect were present.

Xie Jiuniang saw Lords Guangluo and Sujin, along with Lord Guangcheng, who had been recovering from injuries in Dahuang City, had also arrived. Most of the Divinity Transformation cultivators from the other sects were not absent either.

The rest were Loose Cultivators and members of various families.

Besides, Xie Jiuniang’s gaze fell on Wenzhong and Su He, her eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.

"Tianxu Sect’s Yuanxi, was it you who killed him?" the Alliance Hierarch spoke up.

Xie Jiuniang confessed without denying, "It was I who killed him."

The Alliance Hierarch asked again, "Do you know that committing a crime at the border adds a degree to the punishment?"

"Isn’t it just killing someone? He killed my master earlier, and the Alliance Hierarch also lightly glossed over it," Xie Jiuniang’s words made some of those present choke.

Some wanted to say that Chaoyan did not die at the border.

But that’s not important, really.

They could understand Xie Jiuniang’s hatred, and it was only natural for her to kill the Mo Family’s Elder Ancestor. However, this directly harmed the interests of the Border Battlefield, as they lost the only Ninth Grade Pill Master. Moreover, Muhong had failed twice in his breakthroughs and was currently secluded, attempting another breakthrough into Divinity Transformation.

Is Divinity Transformation that easy to achieve?

Heavenly Tribulations are not so easily overcome.

In the Cultivation World, out of those who attempt to overcome tribulations to achieve Divinity Transformation, barely one in ten succeed. Under such uncertain conditions, it was necessary for the Mo Family Elder Ancestor to be alive.

The Alliance Hierarch said, "Considering the bigger picture, he should not have died yet."

"I understand that, isn’t he just a Ninth Grade Pill Master? I also understand that, Ninth Grade Pill Masters have privileges, don’t they?" Xie Jiuniang’s words and attitude showed complete disregard for the Alliance Hierarch.

The people around took a sharp intake of breath.

The last one who dared to speak to the Alliance Hierarch with such an attitude, is he already dead?

This junior has got some guts!

Truly a case of the calf not fearing the tiger.

Lord Wenzhong raised his voice to condemn, "Alliance Hierarch, this person must be severely punished as a warning to others."

"That’s right, if everyone were so unrestrained, what would be the point of guarding the border?" an elder from the Su Family spoke up.

A female Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Nangong Family followed, "Without rules, we cannot form a square or circle, Alliance Hierarch, please think thrice."

Then, people from those families began to speak one after another, calling for severe punishment of the murderer. Not many who disregarded the rules of the border had escaped punishment over the years; only the Mo Family Elder Ancestor was an exception.

The Wu Family’s Elder said, "Alliance Hierarch, although the Mo Family Elder Ancestor was somewhat arrogant in his actions at the border, his contributions are undeniable. His death is a great loss for our border, nearly severing our future escape route. The next time one of us gets injured, we won’t even have anyone to turn to for treatment..."

"I agree with Elder Wu’s words, the murderer must be severely punished to prevent us from feeling disheartened. There are frequent battles at the border, and injuries are common," Lord Wenzhong incited obviously.

Someone suddenly said, "This time in the fight against the Demon Clan, some of us got injured, alas. What are we going to do now?"

"Indeed, next time someone gets injured, we will not know whom to turn to."

Not only were Wenzhong and others not saddened by the fact that Xie Jiuniang had directly killed someone, but they also felt relieved.

This time the Child of Destiny should not escape his fate, right?

The border is not a place for personal sentiments.

Who present did not know of the Mo Family Elder Ancestor’s arrogance? But nobody dared to really kill him, why?

Xie Jiuniang went ahead and killed him outright!

She was essentially courting death.

This time, even Qiansha and others would find it difficult to protect her.
