Before Cloud Mountain City, a sea of people.

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

Nearly ten thousand cultivators had come to observe the ceremony, comprising a great number of Outer Sect disciples and numerous Loose Cultivators from the Outer Domains.

When the Eight Treasures Cloud Chariot came to a halt,

everyone’s attention was focused solely on Ji Guantao, the Golden Core Sect Leader.

No one had expected that at this moment, someone would dare to step out to obstruct and block the path.

Indeed, it was audacity to the extreme!

A young cultivator knelt on both knees, continuously kowtowing three times with his head touching the ground.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He obviously exerted full strength, his forehead striking the hard Chi Path with a trembling sound that struck fear into hearts.

When the cultivator once again lifted his head,

not only was the forehead muddled with blood and flesh, but it was also caved in!

Bright red blood flowing over his eyes, mixing with tears before dropping to the ground.

“True Person above, this humble cultivator Zhao Huaian risks death to plead for justice. In Cloud Mountain, a scion of Purple Mansion acted fiendishly, taking lives as though hunting, heaven’s principle cannot tolerate…”

His voice resounded like thunder, heart-rending and soul-splitting, heard clearly by the nearly ten thousand cultivators present!

Everyone was dumbstruck.

This, this, this…

This was like challenging the very heavens!

“Audacious!”

A Purple Mansion Superior who had come to greet the leader shouted with eyes wide in anger, “Which scoundrel dares to spout such nonsense, deceiving our Cloud Sun…”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

This Purple Mansion was indeed the Hall Master of the Outer Sect’s Guard Hall.

Though the incident occurred abruptly, none of the several hundred elite disciples of the Guard Hall managed to discover and stop the accuser in time, an utter dereliction of duty.

He, as the Master of the Guard Hall, could not shirk the blame either.

But what truly struck fear into this Purple Mansion Superior was the identity of and reasons behind the accuser.

This person must not be allowed to live!

The Hall Master of the Guard immediately lifted his right palm, his eyes revealing a fierce light.

The obstructing cultivator had only the cultivation level of Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, and with his own strength, a single palm strike could kill him directly!

Moreover, he believed that other Superiors present, as well as the Sect Leader, would not stop his actions.

Otherwise, where would the dignity of the Cloud Sun Sect lie, and where the face of the Golden Core True Person?

But what the Purple Mansion Superior could never have dreamed of was that just as he had barely lifted his hand, a mighty force suddenly descended, suppressing him on the spot!

Ji Guantao, seated upon the Eight Treasures Cloud Chariot, opened his mouth to decree, “Let him speak.”

These simple three words poured over the Guard Hall Master’s head like a bucket of ice water, a chill piercing from the crown of his head down to the soles of his feet at the bubbling spring points.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

His entire being was chilled to the bone!

And those sharing the same sensation were the thirty-seven Purple Mansion Superiors lined up to greet the chariot at the city gate!

They represented all of Cloud Mountain City’s upper-tier immortal cultivation families, the actual rulers of the city, holding most of the influence.

Yet at that moment, these Purple Mansion Superiors, who were usually high above, felt as though a sharp sword hung over each of their foreheads.

At any moment, it could decapitate them on the spot!

This was not merely their illusion.

Yin Honghui, among them, had a pale face with fine beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Because the kneeling cultivator’s accusation included him!

Yin Honghui had known for quite a while about the deeds committed by Yin Derong.

However, this Purple Mansion Superior hadn’t paid much attention, feeling that letting his grandson shed some blood wasn’t a bad thing.

After all, those who died were merely lowly Loose Cultivators from the Outer Domains.

Yin Honghui even gave his grandson a Spiritual Artifact for protection and arranged for an old servant from his family to accompany him as a guard.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

But now, not only had Yin Derong gotten into trouble, but it also implicated him.

The ominous premonitions that Yin Honghui had initially are now coming true!

In this moment, Yin Honghui felt an immense regret.

He regretted not having thrown this calamity of a child into the well the moment he was born!

But regret was too late, Yin Honghui couldn’t even make the slightest struggle.

Because a sword intent, fierce to the extreme, hung high above his head, carrying a thick aura of murder.

This was a warning to him not to act rashly, but to quietly remain a spectator!

Yin Honghui believed that all the Superiors around him were under the same threat.

Mu Qingqiu!

Only Mu Qingqiu, known as “One Sword Suppressing the Heavens”, could achieve this.

This Golden Core True Person, the number one sword cultivator of the Cloud Sun Sect in terms of killing and fighting, had actually been lurking in the vicinity!

Yin Honghui’s mind was now a complete blank.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

It’s over!

And at this moment, that Zhao Huaian had also finished recounting his grievances.

He was a Loose Cultivator from Heavy Wood Fort in the Outer Domain, who had teamed up with companions for hunting some time ago.

But they were ambushed along the way, captured, deprived of their Storage Bags, their leg meridians sealed, and then left in the wilderness to serve as prey for a group of children from Purple Mansion families in Cloud Mountain City, hunting for sport!

Zhao Huaian was fortunate to escape with his life and, after lying low for a while, he risked his life to expose the crime today.

He begged for justice from the True Person!

The reason Zhao Huaian staked his life was that his only kin had died at the hands of these people’s arrows.

To seek revenge, there was no other way.

Zhao Huaian’s tearful accusation was heard loud and clear by all the cultivators present.

Outside Immortal City, a silence fell, and one by one, the Purples Mansions sweated profusely!

This was surely a huge scandal!!

The Cloud Sun Sect had always prided itself on being a righteous sect. With such a scandal coming out during the ancestral worship ceremony, where would they put their face?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Many cultivators couldn’t understand why Ji Guantao would give the other party a chance to speak!

With the methods of a Golden Core True Person, a snap of the fingers could have turned him to dust, burying the incident forever.

But a very few, faintly guessed the truth.

After listening, Ji Guantao asked with an expressionless face, “You have no proof. Do you have evidence?”

Indeed, where is the evidence!

Many people’s spirits lifted at once—Surely it can’t just be whatever he says, right?

“I do!”

Zhao Huaian held up a crystal-clear stone high: “This Memory Stone recorded the whole scene!”

Memory Stone!

Exclamations of surprise from the surrounding crowd rose and fell in waves.

The Memory Stone is made from mid-grade Spirit Stones or high-grade Spirit Stones. It’s a special magic artifact used to record and store images and sounds, and it is very expensive.

For a mere Loose Cultivator from the Outer Domain to possess such a magic artifact was indeed amazing.

But it wasn’t inconceivable; perhaps he had encountered some fortune.

Ji Guantao said, “Play it.”

Upon the True Person’s command, Zhao Huaian immediately infused mana into the Memory Stone.

A beam of light suddenly shot out from within the crystal, projecting an image above Zhao Huaian in the air.

Although the image wasn’t very clear and the picture was shaking quite a bit,

It was enough for everyone to witness the full extent of the event!

As the lights and shadows shifted, the vivid blood and brutal deaths, the wails of the Loose Cultivators treated as prey, and the triumphant laughter of the hunters struck fiercely at the Divine Souls of all the cultivators present.

Many were angered.

Especially those Loose Cultivators who had come to watch the excitement from the Outer Domain, who were clenching their fists with faces pale as iron!

The atmosphere at the scene became heavy and oppressive.

And the Purple Mansion Superiors who were standing stiffly in front of the city gate turned ashen-faced.

Because they saw familiar faces in the projected image!

“True Person above!”

After playing the Memory Stone, Zhao Huaian kowtowed heavily again, “I swear to heaven and earth, if there is a half-truth in my words, I am willing to suffer the punishment of a thousand cuts and ten thousand slices!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his face smeared with blood, he fainted away!
