Chapter 47: Chapter 38 The Truth Comes Out

At this moment, the atmosphere in the medical room was somewhat heavy.

Several cultivators gathered and struck up a conversation.

They didn’t avoid anyone, nor did they fear being overheard, speculating and discussing who the actual perpetrator was. Some believed Li Yi, thinking that He Jun was fabricating facts, while others felt that Li Yi’s story had loopholes; if He Jun had really done that, he wouldn’t have sustained such serious injuries.

Of course, there were also those who believed that both He Jun and Li Yi were not clean, each trying to frame the other, and it was just that Li Yi, being more skilled, had safely returned.

"The personal grudges between the two aren’t important. The focus of this matter is whether He Jun indeed killed the two assistants by his side," said a cultivator very rationally, "since both He Jun and Li Yi are still alive, the fact of framing has not been established, but those two assistants did indeed die in the danger zone."

"That’s right, their personal grudges aren’t important, but the murder of two cultivators needs to be thoroughly investigated; otherwise, who would dare to team up and enter the danger zone in the future?" Immediately, many people nodded in agreement.

"Now we just wait for the evidence Li Yi mentioned; once the evidence comes out, the truth cannot be faked."

Sitting on the hospital bed, Li Yi, who heard this conversation, remained unperturbed.

He knew that even though he was framed by He Jun, as long as he wasn’t dead, nobody would care, and it was even less likely that anyone would stand up for him, which was why he had shifted the topic to the other two deceased cultivators.

Because this matter concerns everyone’s interests, if the person responsible for killing teammates isn’t severely punished, they would not feel safe having others at their backs in the future.

"Is he coming?"

Suddenly, Li Yi heard footsteps approaching. He promptly put down his phone, stood up from the hospital bed, and looked towards the door.

The other cultivators also heard the noise and stopped their discussions.

The door to the medical room was opened.

President Yang entered with a stern expression, his imposing gaze sweeping through the room brought an intangible oppressive force, making everyone involuntarily shudder and not dare to underestimate him. Behind him, an assistant brought in the corpse of Biao and placed it in the center of the room, the most conspicuous position.

"I didn’t expect President Yang to really come." Upon seeing this, He Jun’s expression suddenly tensed, his heart involuntarily pounding.

But he forcefully calmed himself, maintaining his composure.

"Which one of you is Li Yi?" President Yang slowly spoke.

"I am," Li Yi stepped forward.

President Yang took a brief moment to assess him, then asked with concern, "How are your injuries, nothing serious I hope?"

"The medical facilities here are very good. I just had a full body check, there’s nothing wrong with me," Li Yi replied.

"That’s good. Your performance in this operation in the danger zone was extremely outstanding, having personally hunted down this Biao. Among the cultivators I know of in the Spirit Medium Realm, none is more outstanding than you," President Yang slightly nodded, affirming Li Yi.

"It was either fight fiercely or die; pure luck and sudden unleashing of potential allowed me to kill this fierce beast," Li Yi modestly said.

"Very humble, good," replied President Yang.

He then shifted his tone, becoming particularly chilling, "He Jun, come here."

At this moment, He Jun also stood up, supported by a nurse, and approached, saying, "President Yang."

Seeing this, the other cultivators also moved closer, knowing that today this matter would be resolved.

"He Jun, I have heard about your matter with Li Yi. I came here to clarify this issue and to seek justice for the two deceased cultivators," President Yang said, his gaze fixated on He Jun, his pupils constricting, unknowingly turning into vertical slits.

At that moment, He Jun felt like prey targeted by a terrifying beast.

If it weren’t for the nurse supporting him, he wouldn’t have been able to stand firm as his whole body felt weak.

"He Jun, answer me in front of me, did you kill those two assistants of yours or not?" President Yang commanded, his voice thunderous.

Already uneasy, even though he had previously appeared calm, He Jun turned pale under such intimidation, his lips quivering as he attempted to fabricate an excuse, "I, I..."

President Yang raised his hand at this moment, "No need to rush your response. I, Yang Yilong, must also bear an inescapable responsibility for the way this operation in the danger zone turned out. If I had managed to resolve that Extraordinary Creature and retreated earlier, none of this would have happened."

"So, I, Yang Yilong, must also take major responsibility for the deaths of those two cultivators. However, whether they were killed by a beast or by a person, we need to clarify this matter. He Jun, if you really did it, confess now, and I, Yang Yilong, will give you a chance."

"But if we open up the belly of this Biao and extract the evidence, then I, Yang Yilong, will not spare you."

He Jun’s expression changed erratically; he looked at Yang Yilong and then at the corpse of the fierce beast lying before him, caught in a difficult decision.

To confess his crimes plainly or to stubbornly gamble?

Soon.

He Jun made up his mind, gritting his teeth, "President Yang, I truly did not kill those two people. My conscience is clear. It’s Li Yi spouting nonsense, trying to frame me. Those monsters behind me were lured by him. If it hadn’t been for President Yang saving me at the critical moment, I would never have made it out of the danger zone alive."

"I absolutely do not believe there is any so-called evidence inside this Biao’s corpse."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to believe himself, suddenly becoming more aggressive, glaring fiercely at Li Yi, filled with outrage as if he truly had been falsely accused.

"This guy..." Li Yi’s expression darkened.

He understood that He Jun was gambling, betting that no evidence would be found inside the corpse of Biao.

If he won, he would be seen as wrongly accused, turning the tables to become the innocent victim.

If he lost... well, in any case, it wouldn’t be a loss for him, since he truly had killed someone.

At this moment, Li Yi realized that whatever he said now was useless; he could only wait for the outcome.

"Dissect, analyze," President Yang immediately ordered.

Supervisor Xu Ming immediately arranged for a doctor to begin dissecting the corpse of Biao in front of everyone, while a nurse went to fetch some hair and similar items from the rooms of the deceased for analysis and comparison.

Soon.

The sharp scalpel sliced through the corpse.

The stench of blood filled the air.

A mass of not yet fully digested flesh and blood was removed. It was mostly digested, but a sample could still be extracted.

Meanwhile, the nurse had successfully collected hair left in the room from the two victims.

"President Yang, please wait a moment, it should take about ten minutes to get the results," the doctor said.

"Okay, bring the report over immediately once the results are out," Yang Yilong replied.

The doctor immediately went to work with the nurse. With fully equipped medical facilities, it actually took less than ten minutes, but he said a bit longer just to be safe.

At this moment.

Everyone was silent, quietly waiting for the results to appear.

He Jun was lying if he said he wasn’t nervous, but he had no choice now but to fight with Li Yi to the end either to turn the tide or to have his reputation completely ruined and become a murderer.

"Damn it, how did things step by step become like this? I finally made it back alive, why does Li Yi have to oppose me in the end? He wants to destroy me. No, I cannot sit idly by. I must think of a way," he thought, clenching his fists with immense anger.

But amidst the anger, He Jun was still considering what approach to use for the current situation.

Run away directly?

He might as well enter the Ruined District and become a Scavenger, and come back after the turmoil subsides.

But with so many people watching and Yang Yilong present, he couldn’t possibly escape.

"If all else fails, I must drag Li Yi down with me in death. I absolutely can’t let that guy off," He Jun thought bitterly.

At this moment, Li Yi was still unaware that He Jun was harboring such malicious intentions, planning to take him down with him after the incident. Li Yi was also very nervous.

Because he himself couldn’t be sure if what Biao had swallowed was really the two deceased Cultivators.

Therefore, Li Yi was also taking a risk. If he couldn’t provide evidence, he would be extremely vulnerable.

Everyone continued to wait.

It was just eight minutes later.

The doctor who had left earlier quickly returned with the report, "President Yang, the results are out. After analysis, the partially digested flesh in the Fierce Beast’s stomach has been confirmed to match the hair retrieved from the room."

Upon hearing this news, the other Cultivators were shocked.

It was just as Li Yi had said, He Jun had used the lives of the two Cultivators to delay the Fierce Beast while he escaped.

"Li Yi, I’ll kill you." With his last hope shattered, He Jun utterly lost his sanity, roaring as he charged at Li Yi with gleaming eyes.

"Buzz, buzz!"

Li Yi, caught off guard, momentarily felt dizziness wash over him.

But as a fellow Spirit Medium Realm Cultivator, he wasn’t afraid of an Eye Witness attack; a moment of disorientation later, he was completely alert again, unaffected.

Just as Li Yi regained his composure, He Jun’s figure had already pounced in front of him.

Clearly, He Jun’s Eye Witness was just a distraction meant to create an opportunity to strike.

At that moment, Li Yi’s eyes dramatically narrowed, then he burst forth from the ground, raising his arm and instinctively throwing a punch.

"Li Yi, be careful, he’s holding a scalpel," someone cried out, but by then, their warning was a bit too late.

At such close range, a Spirit Medium Realm Cultivator fighting for his life, most couldn’t react in time.

"Seeking your own death."

However, at that moment, like a sudden clap of thunder on level ground, a whirlwind erupted around, and Yang Yilong’s upright figure swiftly moved, seeming to teleport, his speed so fast that an afterimage appeared. Following that, Yang Yilong’s right arm was raised and then fell.

Though his hand never physically contacted He Jun’s body, an unimaginable scene followed.

Blood splattered like a fountain, and He Jun’s body split in mid-air, literally torn apart into two halves.

At the sight of this, everyone was dumbfounded.

Everything had happened so quickly that they were just beginning to react when He Jun, who had charged forward, was dismembered by a mysterious force.

"What is that... a sword?" At that moment, Li Yi’s pupils suddenly tightened, his punch thrown into empty air, not reaching He Jun.

He saw Yang Yilong standing aside, his right arm enveloped by a staggering aura that emitted a terrifyingly flickering light. Though not particularly bright, it was concentrated and dazzling, and at first glance, it looked like he was holding a glowing treasure sword in his hand.

This sword had no physical form, but its sharpness was palpably heart-racing.

"I was blind to have invited such a beast." Yang Yilong was furious at that moment. He had been deceived and He Jun had betrayed his kindness.

If He Jun had admitted his wrongdoing earlier, Yang Yilong would have severely punished him at most but would not have taken his life.

However, now that He Jun had not only killed two of his teammates but also attempted to attack Li Yi after the truth was revealed,

if he did not kill him, Yang Yilong would be as ridiculous as a clown.
