Chapter 176: Chapter 176 - Evidence? My Words Are Evidence

Wei Huadong and the others saw that Xiao Wuji was completely annihilated. Not only did he not have a corpse left, but his soul had also dissipated. Although they were shocked that Qi Ming’s strength was so powerful, they also heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts and their entire minds relaxed.

The three Peak Masters were actually very strong, but their limelight was covered by Qi Ming.

In this sect battle, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect obtained victory. From top to bottom, from the Sect Master to the disciples, basically all of the Scarlet Blood Demon Sect members died.

Even those who were still alive knelt and surrendered.

The Scarlet Blood Demon Sect was destroyed.

“Personal Disciple Qi is a monster with peerless combat strength. He killed Xiao Wuji and has endless Dharmic powers!”

“Hahaha…”

“This sect battle has finally ended.”

“That’s great.”

In the surroundings, a smile appeared on the faces of the disciples and elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. They were overjoyed and in a good mood. There were even many disciples and elders shouting Qi Ming’s name with extreme reverence.

“Personal Disciple Qi…”

Wei Huadong and the others came.

“Peak Masters.”

Qi Ming said, “Send someone to clean up the battlefield.”

“Okay.” Wei Huadong nodded.

“Don’t worry, we’ll deal with this.” Wang Xianyun said.

“Personal Disciple Qi, are you preparing to return to the sect?” Song Xianzi asked.

“No!”

Qi Ming shook his head. His gaze looked at the place where the many disciples and elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect were gathered, and it happened to fall on Yu Xuelan among the disciples.

“Before I go back, I have something important to do.” Qi Ming said.

“This matter is to eliminate the spies of the Demon Sect who are hiding in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.”

“This…”

The three Peak Masters were stunned.

Qi Ming took a step forward and flew away. He completely teleported. In the next moment, he was already standing in front of Yu Xuelan.

“Personal… Personal Disciple Qi.”

She did not react immediately, having not expected Qi Ming to suddenly appear in front of her, so she was clearly a little stunned.

“Uncle-Master…”

Yuan Feng was also not far away. After seeing Qi Ming come, she originally wanted to greet him, but after seeing Qi Ming’s expression, she immediately stopped and did not dare to go forward.

No matter what, Yuan Feng had also interacted with Qi Ming for a long time back then, so she knew him quite well. When she saw Qi Ming’s expressionless face, Yuan Feng knew that he was very unhappy at this moment. It was better for her not to provoke him.

“Greetings, Personal Disciple Qi.”

In the surroundings, the disciples and elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect bowed to Qi Ming. Their tone was very respectful. It was not only because of Qi Ming’s status, but also because of his powerful strength.

“Blood Lotus Demoness.”

Qi Ming ignored the surrounding disciples and elders. His gaze kept stopping on Yu Xuelan. His tone was indifferent as he said coldly, “I haven’t seen you for hundreds of years. You hid very well.”

“Eh?!”

Yu Xuelan was incomparably shocked in her heart. She kept thinking about it, trying to recall any detail, but she did not discover what flaw she had exposed. Why had Qi Ming directly revealed her identity?

Yu Xuelan was extremely shocked.

She really could not react, but fortunately, although her heart was surging, she was calm on the surface.

“Personal… Personal Disciple Qi.”

Yu Xuelan said in a puzzled tone, “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about. Blood Lotus Demoness? Who’s the Blood Lotus Demoness? I don’t even know what the Blood Lotus Demoness is.”

“This…”

“Blood Lotus Demoness?”

“What happened?”

“Why did the Personal Disciple Qi suddenly look at Yu Xuelan and call her the Blood Lotus Demoness?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Is the personal disciple saying that Yu Xuelan is the Blood Lotus Demoness?”

“That can’t be.”

“If I remember correctly, didn’t the Blood Lotus Demoness die a few hundred years ago? Moreover, she died in the hands of Fairy Feng Xi and was directly burned to ashes by the pure white phoenix flames.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Personal Disciple Qi, you must have seen wrongly.”

The disciples and elders of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect discussed animatedly. They sized up Yu Xuelan a few times. They indeed did not think that she was the Blood Lotus Demoness who had died for hundreds of years.

There was no trace of the Demon Dao on Yu Xuelan’s entire body. She was completely a member of the righteous path and was also an inner sect elder of the Green Cloud Peak.

Yu Xuelan and Yuan Feng were the same. They could not enter the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain to cultivate through the legacy competition because their potential and performance were not recognized by the Grand Elders.

After Yu Xuelan and Yuan Feng broke through to the Leaving Aperture realm, they were removed from their status as legacy disciples and became inner sect elders of the Green Cloud Peak.

“Personal Disciple Qi…”

Song Xianzi flew over and stood beside Qi Ming. There was a faint body fragrance, “Yu Xuelan’s background is clean. Although she’s not an inner sect elder of my Immortal Peak, I’ve never heard of anything bad happening to her in the past hundreds of years.”

“Indeed.”

Wei Huadong also came over and nodded.

“However…”

Wang Xianyun pondered for a moment, “Since Personal Disciple Qi suspects Yu Xuelan, he naturally has his reasons. Therefore, it’s fine to investigate Yu Xuelan.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

Wei Huadong and Song Xianzi reacted and nodded.

“Investigate?”

Qi Ming’s tone was indifferent as he said domineeringly, “No need. I said that she’s a spy from the Demon Sect, so she’s naturally a spy from the Demon Sect. There’s no need to investigate.”

He raised his hand, and rich Dharmic powers gathered in his palm. Five lightning bolts condensed. Lightning flashed and crackled, containing destructive power.

“Die!”

Boom!

Qi Ming’s palm struck towards Yu Xuelan’s head.

“!!!”

Yu Xuelan’s beautiful eyes widened as she felt the danger of death descend. Facing Qi Ming’s Five Lightning Palm, her entire body seemed to be frozen.

Terrifying.

It was too terrifying.

She could not resist.

She could not resist at all.

Thinking back, hundreds of years ago, Qi Ming was only a small Green Cloud Peak servant disciple who had just transmigrated to the Mystic World. His strength was very weak and was only at the Qi Refinement realm. In front of Yu Xuelan, he was like an ant.

Back then, Yu Xuelan could easily crush Qi Ming at any time.

However, for various reasons, Yu Xuelan could not kill Qi Ming. Instead, she let him survive unharmed.

Now, hundreds of years later, everything changed.

Qi Ming was no longer a small Green Cloud Peak servant disciple. He was now a legacy disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s Immortal Mountain, the personal disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s ancestor, Patriarch Heaven Secrets.

He had an extraordinary status.

In the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, according to status, Qi Ming was only below the Grand Elders.

Qi Ming’s strength was even more unfathomable. Although he was only at the early-stage Soul Formation realm, he could easily kill an old monster at the Dao Integration realm.

Even Xiao Wuji, whose strength was comparable to a half-step Tribulation Transformation cultivator, was killed by Qi Ming.

Therefore, Qi Ming could easily control Yu Xuelan’s fate now. A casual strike could end her life and completely kill her.

“No.”

Wei Huadong was shocked. He waved his right hand and quickly took out a Dharma treasure. It was a black cauldron that blocked in front.

Boom!

Crack! Crack!

There was a loud sound.

Under Qi Ming’s palm, this black cauldron directly exploded into pieces that filled the sky. Lightning flashed, and the power of the explosion shook.

The black cauldron Dharma treasure that Wei Huadong took out was shattered by Qi Ming’s palm, but it also blocked most of the power of the attack, producing an extremely violent explosion.

Light exploded like fireworks, looking quite gorgeous.

“Ah!!!”

Yu Xuelan screamed as her entire body was sent flying by the aftershock of the explosion. She spat out blood and crashed into a few trees before finally hitting a hill and stopping.

In the surroundings, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect disciples and elders quickly dodged. Shock appeared on their faces as they looked at Qi Ming one after another with fearful expressions.

“Personal Disciple Qi…”

Wei Huadong immediately said in a low voice, “Although you’re a legacy disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain and the personal disciple of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect’s ancestor, Patriarch Heaven Secrets, your status is extremely high, you can’t directly kill an inner sect elder in front of everyone without any concrete evidence.”

“This is against the rules.”

“Personal Disciple Qi…”

Song Xianzi returned to her senses and stopped Qi Ming as well. She persuaded, “No matter what, Yu Xuelan is also an inner sect elder of the Green Cloud Peak. It’s indeed unreasonable for you to directly kill Yu Xuelan like this.”

“There are so many Heaven Enlightenment Sect disciples and elders around watching. You can’t do this.”

“That’s right.”

Wang Xianyun said, “Legacy Disciple Qi, if Yu Xuelan is really a spy of the Demon Sect, then we only need to investigate her carefully and the truth will naturally be revealed.”

“When the time comes, if we want to kill or torture her, we naturally have to listen to the orders of Personal Disciple Qi. There’s no need to be anxious at all. We don’t have to kill Yu Xuelan now.”

“Moreover, we naturally believe in the judgment passed down by Personal Disciple Qi. As long as we investigate clearly and the evidence is conclusive, you can also kill Yu Xuelan in a justifiable manner. It’s also good for Personal Disciple Qi’s reputation. It won’t ruin your reputation in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect.”

“Evidence?”

Qi Ming’s expression was calm. He looked at Yu Xuelan, who had been heavily injured by the aftershock of the explosion, and looked straight at everyone present. He said in an indisputable tone, “My words are evidence.”

Qi Ming was very clear that in his deduction, Yu Xuelan did not reveal any flaws, nor did she leave any evidence.

Therefore, if the Heaven Enlightenment Sect investigated, they would not be able to find out that she was a spy from the Demon Sect at all. This was because her disguise was really too good.

Otherwise, Yu Xuelan would not have hidden in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect for so long without being discovered.

It was because she did not leave any flaws.

There was no evidence that Yu Xuelan was a spy from the Demon Sect.

In that case, Qi Ming naturally would not let the Heaven Enlightenment Sect investigate. That would only be a waste of time. Qi Ming directly attacked decisively and tried to kill Yu Xuelan in a domineering manner.

However, what about the sect rules of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect?

Without any evidence, Qi Ming could not casually execute an inner sect elder.

If he really did that, it would break the rules of the sect and cause all the disciples and elders in the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to bear a grudge. It was not a good thing for the entire Heaven Enlightenment Sect.
