After Luo Qingchen finished speaking, the entire Heavenly Desperate Cliff fell into a brief silence.
Everyone’s eyes focused on Master Xuan Yang, awaiting his judgment.
Master Xuan Yang pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, his voice calm and steady.
“Luo Qingchen, what you’re saying is too unbelievable. Merely relying on your one-sided story and these scattered items, it is still difficult to completely convince people.”
His gaze turned to Fang Zhenxiong.
“Elder Fang, where is your evidence?”
Upon hearing Master Xuan Yang’s words, Fang Zhenxiong was secretly pleased and quickly presented the jade slip in his hand once again.
“Sect Leader, please take a look! This jade slip contains records of Luo Qingchen secretly meeting with an unknown demonic cultivator, and the clear image of him using an evil technique to attack our Law Enforcement Hall disciples!”
However, before he finished speaking,
a cold female voice suddenly came from not far away.
“Elder Fang, isn’t the image in your jade slip carefully edited and forged?”
Everyone looked towards the voice, only to see Su Xiaowan and Lin Wan’er, escorted by Qin Mingyuan, walking quickly forward.
Su Xiaowan also held a jade slip shimmering with spirit light in her hand.
“Sect Leader, I also have a video record here. It records how Elder Fang’s nephew, Fang Hao, acted with arrogance and oppression in the Qingyun Square, strong-arming against loose cultivators. And how Senior Brother Luo acted righteously and stepped in to stop him.”
“As for Elder Fang’s claim of Senior Brother Luo colluding with a demonic cultivator, it is simply ridiculous!”
Su Xiaowan’s tone was full of anger.
“That so-called demonic cultivator is merely an old friend of Senior Brother Luo. Because of the unique cultivation method he practices, his aura is a bit mixed! They simply met by chance in the workshop and exchanged a few words, so how could there be any collusion?”
“Fang Zhenxiong, to slander Senior Brother Luo, you resorted to such despicable means, it’s utterly shameless!”
Lin Wan’er also coldly chimed in: “Elder Fang repeatedly targets Senior Brother Luo, his intentions are punishable! Sect Leader, please investigate clearly!”
Master Xuan Yang’s gaze moved slowly between the two jade slips and Fang Zhenxiong’s livid face.
A faint gleam of light flickered in his deep eyes, almost imperceptible.
The internal conflicts within the Sect, and the ugly faces of some people, all seemed to be clearly exposed before him at this moment.
The wind on the Heavenly Desperate Cliff seemed colder.
Master Xuan Yang’s gaze, like a sword piercing through fog, rested for a moment on Fang Zhenxiong’s slightly twisted face, angry and guilty.
Then, he reached out and calmly took the jade slip from Su Xiaowan’s hand.
A gentle surge of spiritual power made the jade slip shine, projecting a clear three-dimensional image into the air.
In the image, the bustling scene of Qingyun Square was vividly depicted.
Fang Hao’s arrogant and oppressive behavior, his ugly attempt to seize from the elder Purple Orchid, was fully recorded.
What followed was Luo Qingchen stepping forward righteously and Fang Hao’s fury, commanding his subordinates to besiege Luo Qingchen.
The image clearly showed that Luo Qingchen never attacked anyone first. On the contrary, Fang Hao’s subordinates were merciless, trying to kill Luo Qingchen.
Finally, it showed Luo Qingchen slightly punishing and knocking down those Inner Sect Disciples and then calmly leaving.
The entire process was smooth, with no trace of editing.
Su Xiaowan’s recording technique was evidently quite skillful.
After the image finished playing, all the elders around looked at Fang Zhenxiong with a trace of disdain and contempt in their eyes.
Openly buying and selling by force, oppressing the weak, how is this any different from the demonic path?
Fang Zhenxiong’s face was extremely unsightly, with a layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead.
He never imagined that Su Xiaowan would have recorded the scene so clearly and completely.
“This… this doesn’t prove anything!”
Fang Zhenxiong forced himself to remain calm, but his voice was somewhat dry.
“This only shows Fang Hao’s recklessness, and has nothing to do with Luo Qingchen colluding with demonic cultivators!”
Master Xuan Yang ignored his defense and looked again at the jade slip in Fang Zhenxiong’s hand.
“Show us your evidence as well.”
Fang Zhenxiong’s heart trembled, but the situation left him no choice. He had to force himself to pass his jade slip over.
Master Xuan Yang similarly used spiritual power to activate the jade slip.
Another image appeared in mid-air.
This image was noticeably more blurred and the angle was a bit tricky, as if secretly filmed.
In the image, Luo Qingchen was talking with a cultivator in a black robe with a chilly aura in a secluded corner of the workshop.
Due to the distance and dim light, it was impossible to hear what they were saying.
Then, the screen switched to Luo Qingchen at the Heavenly Desperate Cliff, in conflict with the Law Enforcement Hall disciples.
However, this image had clearly been edited, only showing Luo Qingchen attacking and the Law Enforcement Hall disciples falling, omitting the previous provocations and the disciples’ aggressive actions.
It appeared as if Luo Qingchen was slaughtering fellow sect members for no reason.
“Hmph, such a clumsy editing attempt to deceive everyone?”
Elder Xiao from the Elixir Medicine Hall snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
As a master in the Alchemy Dao, with immensely powerful soul power, he naturally saw through the subtleties of this image.
Qin Mingyuan also spoke at the right time: “Sect Leader, the truth is clear. Elder Fang’s actions are indeed adding charges without cause!”
Fang Zhenxiong’s body began to tremble slightly.
He felt Master Xuan Yang’s gaze, like two mountains, almost suffocating him.
“Luo Qingchen.”
Master Xuan Yang’s voice sounded once again, but this time, there was a hint of gravity in his tone.
“Regarding that Star Map bronze disk, and what you mentioned about the Star Altar and Star Gate, do you have any further proof?”
Luo Qingchen’s heart was stirred upon hearing this.
He knew that this was indeed what Master Xuan Yang truly cared about.
“Sect Leader, everything I said is true,”
Luo Qingchen took a deep breath, looking at Master Xuan Yang with determination.
“This Star Map bronze disk not only guides direction but contains crucial information for activating the Star Altar and opening the Star Gate.”
He paused and continued, “I boldly request that the Sect Leader allow me to attempt to activate this Star Map bronze disk again here, to prove its mystical nature.”
Upon hearing this, a flash of panic appeared in Fang Zhenxiong’s eyes.
He didn’t know what Luo Qingchen intended to do, but instinctively felt that if Luo Qingchen succeeded, he would be beyond redemption.
“No!”
Fang Zhenxiong hurriedly tried to stop him.
“Sect Leader, this place is my Qingyun Sect’s forbidden area, already chaotic with energy. Luo Qingchen, this schemer, harbors ulterior motives. If he activates that uncanny bronze disk, triggering unforeseen disasters, the consequences would be unimaginable!”
Master Xuan Yang frowned slightly, cast an unpleasant glance at Fang Zhenxiong, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
“Fang Zhenxiong, this matter shall be decided by myself, your opinion isn’t required.”
He turned to Luo Qingchen and nodded slowly.
“Granted. But proceed with caution. If there is any abnormality, I will intervene immediately.”
“Thank you, Sect Leader!”
Luo Qingchen’s heart leaped with joy, and he immediately turned his gaze to Bai Ling’er standing next to Lin Wan’er.
“Bai Ling’er, I have to trouble you once again.”
Bai Ling’er blinked her pure eyes, nodded obediently, and walked over to Luo Qingchen with her tiny legs.
She reached out her fair little hand, gently placing it on the Star Map bronze disk suspended in front of Luo Qingchen.
In an instant, a pure and immense Dragon Power continuously flowed from Bai Linger’s body into the Star Map bronze disk.
Buzz!
The Star Map bronze disk emitted a clear buzzing sound, and the seven different colored lights on its surface suddenly surged, becoming dazzling and brilliant, almost too bright to look directly at.
