Chapter 685: Denunciation of Crimes
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shui Ruolan stood there timidly, although her face was pale her gaze did not shrink. She still nodded stubbornly, but did not speak of anything else.
Miao Yun said with burning rage, “I don’t have to look into you for letting go those stinking men, I have no doubt that you are responsible for the loss of the Supreme Dao Fruits. However, you are always thinking of that Qin kid, I can not sit and do nothing! That Qin kid is your heart devil! Ruolan, if this devil is not destroyed, for your whole life, don’t even think of achieving the Supreme Dao Stage! For the Supreme Dao Stage, you must break the heart devil! Those stinking men of the secular world are sworn enemies of our Emei Daoist Sect: they are our foes, I don’t permit you to think of him! Ruolan, wake up!”
When she got to the end of her speech, this Miao Yun almost roared.
Shui Ruolan pursed her lips and felt afraid inwardly when she saw her teacher become mad. In the end, she was not willing to nod and agree with Miao Yun’s point of view.
Upon seeing Shui Ruolan’s expression, Miao Yun knew that her words went to vain. Her anger burned even more and a vile thought erupted all of a sudden, “I am going to kill your Qin Wushuang and break your thought, let’s see if you can still break the heart devil!”
Shui Ruolan’s complexion changed greatly. “Teacher, I do not hold feelings with Brother Qin, why do you never believe in me?”
Miao Yun said coldly, “If there are no personal considerations between man and woman, why would you be so nervous for him? I see through everything, if this Qin Wushuang does not die, you will not find any peace!”
After she had finished ignoring Shui Ruolan’s instruction, with a flash she had arrived to the corridor outside the guest house. The rage burned in her heart violently.
Killing Qin Wushuang? Inwardly, Miao Yun was in fact feeling conflicted. Initially at the Bowl Valley, that sire of the Karakorum Immortal Clan had sent her spiritual perception to stop her from killing Qin Wushuang.
Although Miao Yun had no clue why that sire would stop her, thinking afterwards, it should not be due to that person with the surname Qin, but because that sire did not wish people of the Illusion Heavenly Lake to cause trouble at the Xuan Yuan Mound and to make it public.
At this moment, within the territory of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, would that sire still stop her by killing Qin Wushuang?
Thinking here, anger surges and intense hatred suddenly arose as Miao Yun walked towards the place where the Qin clan had settled down.
“Female Celestial Miao Yun, where are you going?” suddenly, a voice called Miao Yun from behind.
Female Celestial Miao Yun immediately looked back and saw Xin Tianchen look at her from a corner not too far away.
Miao Yun did not like to mingle with the men. Giving off a sneer, she ignored him and was about to go.
“If Female Celestial Miao Yun is going to ask the Qin Clan for the Supreme Dao Fruit, I would advise you not to hit a wall, to avoid embarra.s.sment. That Qin Yunran would not take in anything.” Xin Tianchen appeared to feel indignant at injustice.
Miao Yun said with a cold sneer, “The Supreme Dao Fruit belongs to my Emei Daoist Sect, it’s proper and justified for me to ask for it. That disciple of the Qin Clan charged into the forbidden training Ten Thousand Flower Valley and stole the grand Supreme Dao Fruit: it’s truly repulsive.”
“Isn’t that right? That Qin Wushuang is indeed, wild! My disciples cannot take in his actions too, too bad this guy is way too cunning.”
Just when he was talking, suddenly there came a sound from Xin Tianchen’s communication jade plate. When he took it out to look, it was a spiritual perception message from Xin Tianwen, the Heavenly Emperor!
“Tianchen, hurry and spread the word about Qin Wushuang, regardless of which methods are used, kill him, he must die!” Xin Tianwen ordered with a mad tone!
“Your majesty, I am negotiating with Female Celestial Miao Yun, I will talk to you soon.”
“Tianchen, no need to hesitate, do as I’ve ordered! Hurry! Qin Wushuang, he killed Wuji, he killed Wuji!”
Killed Wuji? Xin Tianchen’s entire body could not refrain from shaking. No wonder he could not make contact with Wuji in the past three days. Xin Tianchen thought a problem had occurred with Xin Tianchen’s communication jade plate, or thought that he was meditating at some place. He never thought that Qin Wushuang had killed Xin Wuji!
His mind went blank! Xin Wuji is dead? He followed Xin Tianchen to partic.i.p.ate in the Ten-Thousand Year Immortal Pilgrimage Event at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, yet the result was death?
Then wouldn’t Xin Tianchen also walk the end of the road at the Xin Clan? The fall of the son of the Heavenly Emperor was definitely a significant matter. Xin Tianchen felt as if a bucket of cold water had poured over him from head to toe.
“Yes, your majesty, I understand.” Xin Tianchen turned off the communication jade plate in an embarra.s.sing state. His entire body was covered with sweat and his face even turned greenish black. It was terrifying.
Female Celestial Miao Yun said as if she was watching a joke, “What, the great second hand of the Heavenly Emperor Gate, what has made you so terrified?”
Xin Tianchen said with a dark complexion, “Miao Yun Fairy, I just received news that Qin Wushuang has killed Xin Wuji, the son of my Heavenly Emperor!”
“What? Xin Wuji is dead?” Female Celestial Miao Yun was also greatly astonished. Clearly, this information was too unexpected and the impact was too strong!
“Yes, his majesty told me personally. Female Celestial Miao Yun, this Qin Wushuang is a great calamity. Would your Emei Daoist Sect sit and ignore that he stole the fruit now?”
“Nonsense!” Female Celestial Miao Yun berated. “I am going to make him give me it now!”
“It’s not me looking down at you, it’s impossible for you to bring it back! That Qin Yunran will not stand for this. Qin Wushuang is treacherous and crafty, without evidence, how would you open your mouth to ask?”
“Evidence? All of my disciples of the Emei Daoist Sect are witnesses!”
“Is that so? Are there witness? Even if there are, would your disciples speak for the outsiders? If not, the words spoken will surely be the words for the whole family, how many would believe?” Xin Tianchen’s tone was instigative.
“Only at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, the Qin Clan counted as friends invited by the Karakorum Immortal Clan. If the Karakorum Immortal Clan was to s.h.i.+eld your Emei Daoist Sect, what would the other totem powerhouses of the other four Forbidden Spiritual Zones think?”
Female Celestial Miao Yun was stunned. A moment ago, she was going to calculate debts with Qin Wushuang full of rage. Yet after hearing the a.n.a.lysis of Xin Tianchen, she realized that as true as he had said, without any evidence, how could she testify against Qin Wushuang?
“Xin Tianchen, did you tell me all of this with good intentions? Do not tell me you harbor other intentions…” Female Celestial Miao Yun always spoke directly with harshness.
Xin Tianchen did not care as he said with a cold sneer, “Female Celestial, smart people don’t talk with implications. We hold the same goal. Dealing with the Qin Clan, dealing with Qin Wushuang. We must join hands.”
“Oh?”
“Female Celestial, please hear me out… ” Xin Tianchen whispered next to her and said a bunch of words. After Female Celestial Miao Yun finished hearing him, her initially wrinkled forehead had rolled out. She laughed eerily and nodded. “Good, Xin Tianchen, you better not be lying to me. Or else, I promise the return route to the Xuan Yuan Mound will not be a peaceful one!”
This was a threat.
Xin Tianchen swore inwardly, “To whom are you threatening, you old matron? If I did not see your usefulness, I would not bother to speak all these with you.”
Despite swearing inwardly, it was as if he held a sweet candy in his mouth as he smiled apologetically, “If I’ve lied to you, let me not enjoy a good death.”
…
“Hm? It seems to be the summoning of the totem clan to gather at the Jade Void Palace. Something big seems to have happened.” A leader of the Ming Yi Daoist sect had received the message.
“Eh, gather at the Jade Void Palace? Could something have happened?” A person in charge of the Flying Rainbow Daoist Sect also received the message.
At the same time, the other Daoist sects such as the Lofty Sun Daoist, Seven Star, Snow Mountain all received the same message with the same content at the same time.
Not long after, all the leaders of the sects under the forbidden spiritual zones had received the message to gather almost at the same time. The location was the same for all. The Jade Void Palace was the holy palace of the Karakorum Immortal Clan.
Qin Yunran also received such a message. He did not dare to neglect it, so he walked towards the Jade Void Palace.
When he arrived at the Jade Void Palace, the leaders of the thirty or forty powerhouses of the Five Forbidden Spiritual Zones had arrived in succession. They had found their seats according to their own zones.
At the top of the seat, each person of the five totem powerhouses of the Forbidden Spiritual Zones had also arrived. Now, the representatives of these five totem powerhouses discussed with a low voice.
Especially the representatives from the Xuan Yuan Clan revealed the most grave expressions.
When all the other sects saw the grave expression of the representatives of the five totem powerhouses, they felt rather apprehensive. How come the atmosphere had become so grave before the start of the Ten-Thousand Year Pilgrimage Pageant? Could something have happened?
Fortunately, only leaders of each sect had gathered. They were all Supreme Dao elite warriors possessing great strength. Or else under such circ.u.mstances, most likely one’s soul would have dispersed due to fear.
Only Female Celestial Miao Yun of the Emei Daoist Sect revealed a cold smile on the corner of her mouth. It seemed as if she had a card up her sleeve.
At this moment, the representative from the five totem powerhouses already returned to their seat. That representative of the Illusion Heavenly Lake cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, an accusation was filed a moment ago. Female Celestial Miao Yun of the Emei Daoist Sect accuse the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. Female Celestial Miao Yun said Qin Wushuang, the disciple of the Qin Clan secretly infiltrated the forbidden training ground of the Emei Daoist Sect, stole the Supreme Dao fruit… and killed the disciples of the Emei Daoist Sect, with brutal methods…”
Female Celestial Miao Yun stood up and said with a clear voice, “Chief Xue Chan, with all five people of the totem clans represented here, please give justice for my Emei Daoist Sect. That Qin Clan is undisciplined and out of control and at the territory of my Illusion Heavenly Lake. They have truly not put my Illusion Heavenly Lake in their eye.”
That representative of the Karakorum Immortal Clan was a lady and named Xue Chan. Their sect had ranked last among the Karakorum Immortal Clan. Despite this fact, she possessed strength to be at the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage!
Among the totem clans, the weakest chief could match on par with the strongest Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Emperor Gate.
For the totem clan, usually there would be three or four chiefs. Certainly, the chief ranked higher had possessed greater power.
This also explained why the totem clan was the true ruler! They were the true dominators of all territories in the Tian Xuan Land!
“Xuan Yuan friend, this Qin Clan is a powerhouse of your Xuan Yuan Mound, you should be the one to examine it,” Xue Chan turned to speak to that forthright guy of the Xuan Yuan Clan.
This forthright guy of the Xuan Yuan Clan was also one of the absolute strongest warriors from the Xuan Yuan Clan. His name was Xuan Yuan Ba!
Xuan Yuan Ba displayed tyrannical temperament as he gave a thunder like roar. “Qin Yunran, explain this!”
Suppressed by Xuan Yuan Ba’s temperament, Qin Yunran’s soul was surged. Yet he said with a neither servile nor overbearing tone, “Among my Qin disciples, it’s true a disciple has arrived later. Yet whether it’s truly done by him, or someone else had done it in his name, or perhaps someone had intentionally framed him, it needs to be discussed. If there is truly evidence pointing that it was done by the disciple of the Qin Clan, the Qin Clan will never s.h.i.+eld our own!”
Qin Yunran had dared to speak it this way because he had something to rely on. It was because Qin Wushuang had once mentioned that only Xin Wuji had saw him coming out of that cave. He was the only witness. The others only heard it and did not hold any evidence!
To say it bluntly, the dead could not testify!
