At that moment, Chu Fan, who was leaving in the distance, did not see the woman dressed in purple watching him from the shadows!
"Could it really be you? Otherwise, why are you running? What are you afraid of?"
Watching Chu Fan flee into the distance, Ye Liuli murmured softly!
Elder Ling watched Chu Fan escape through the sky without saying a word. He turned and headed toward where Di Tian was!
The next day, just as these people were preparing to leave the Di Family!
A piece of news exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderclap!
"Ye Liuli of the Ye Family is a devil! The Ye Family is harboring someone from the Devil Race!"
At that moment, the entire Di Family fell silent!
These factions surrounded and trapped the Ye Family!
They were clearly waiting for the Ye Family to provide an explanation!
When it came to devils, even in the Divine Domain, they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let a single one slip through!
The Ye Family's Great Elder looked grim!
He looked at the people surrounding the Ye Family!
"Do you also suspect that our Ye Family is sheltering the Devil Race? That the little Princess of our Ye Family is of the Devil Race?"
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect glanced at the Di Family. After seeing that the Di Family had no intention of intervening!
"This news was spread from a tavern not far from the Di Family. Since someone said it, it certainly cannot be baseless!"
"I hope the Ye Family understands our good intentions. When it comes to the Devil Race, it is better to kill by mistake than let them go!"
"The Devil Race has been hiding within the Divine Domain all these years. If we catch one devil, we can surely catch their accomplices!"
"How laughable. From your tone, it seems that a mere rumor has already proven that someone from my Ye Family belongs to the Devil Race!"
"The dignified Heavenly Dao Sect is nothing more than this—hypocrites dressed in grand and righteous robes!"
The Ye Family's Great Elder said disdainfully!
The people of the Heavenly Dao Sect all fell silent and said nothing!
Ye Liuli's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
She knew her own situation. There was devilish qi within her!
Only she, Di Tian, and Lingyun knew!
Lingyun was Di Tian's person. Unless she betrayed Di Tian!
Di Tian was not even within Ye Liuli's range of suspicion!
If Di Tian had wanted to do this, why would he have gone through so much trouble to dig out her devil bone and help her purge her devilish qi?
Moreover, the news had been spread from a tavern near the Di Family!
The only person who had left the Di Family was Chu Fan!
Why would he do this!
The Ye Family had treated him well!
Ye Liuli suddenly recalled the bloodshot, resentful look in Chu Fan's eyes when she had made him apologize to the Di Family!
That feeling grew stronger and stronger in Ye Liuli's mind!
"Chu Fan, my Ye Family was truly blind to take you in, and I, Ye Liuli, was truly blind as well!"
"I even thought you were a promising talent and brought you back to the Ye Family to nurture!"
"The ancestor accepted you as his last disciple and taught you with painstaking care, yet this is how you repay the Ye Family!"
"Chu Fan, just you wait. If I do not kill you, I'll take your surname!"
High in the sky, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect nodded at someone from one of the factions!
Immediately afterward, a figure stepped out from the crowd!
He bowed to the Di Family and the various lineages!
"Although my Qian Family is not some great lineage, we understand how great the harm the Devil Race poses to the Divine Domain!"
"Now that the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect is here, everyone knows that the Heavenly Dao Sect is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao. It has always upheld the principle of killing the Devil Race to give the Divine Domain a peaceful cultivation environment!"
"Since news has spread that the little Princess of the Ye Family is of the Devil Race!"
"Whether it is true or false, we must verify it!"
"How about everyone from the Ye Family opens their sea of consciousness and lets the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect examine them, so that the Ye Family may clear its name!"
"What do you all think of my proposal?"
Quite a few people nodded thoughtfully and looked toward the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect!
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect wore a troubled expression as he said!
"That would not be appropriate, would it? After all, this is merely suspicion. What I said earlier was only based on the possibility that the Ye Family truly was sheltering the Devil Race!"
Which one of these people was not full of schemes? Everyone knew exactly what the others were thinking!
The Heavenly Dao Sect had always been at odds with the Di Family!
On the surface, the waters were calm, but beneath them, who knew what storms lurked?
On the Di Family's territory, they wanted to use someone from the Heavenly Dao Sect to examine whether the Ye Family had members of the Devil Race?
Was this not slapping the Di Family across the face?
Yet the Di Family truly had to endure this humiliation. After all, the Di Family had once arranged a marriage alliance with the Ye Family. Although the engagement had been broken off, they still had to avoid suspicion!
The members of the Di Family all looked furious, but there was nothing they could do!
The Ye Family's Great Elder said nothing, his gaze sweeping over the crowd!
"Members of the Ye Family, open your minds and let them examine you!"
After the Ye Family's Great Elder spoke, every member of the Ye Family opened their sea of consciousness. Their fingers clenched tightly, and blood dripped from them!
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect wore the bearing of an immortal sage!
He examined every member of the Ye Family through their sea of consciousness!
After discovering no devilish qi, he nodded!
Then, with a proud expression, he said!
"Congratulations to the Ye Family for proving its innocence. That news was false!"
"By the way, why is one person missing from the Ye Family? Where is that Chu Fan from earlier?"
Only then did the Ye Family realize—where had Chu Fan gone?
"Fine! I think the devil your Ye Family has been sheltering is Chu Fan! Otherwise, why has he still not shown himself!"
Upon hearing that person's words, everyone stared at the Ye Family once more!
The atmosphere grew tense again!
Ye Liuli stepped forward and said!
"Chu Fan is not a member of my Ye Family. He was with us only because he said his lineage had been destroyed and he had nowhere to go, so we took him in!"
"You can investigate this matter yourselves!"
After Ye Liuli spoke, all the members of the Ye Family nodded!
Although they did not know why Miss had said that, Chu Fan still dared not appear. He was definitely feeling guilty and hiding something!
"Who knows whether you are putting on an act?"
The person who had previously suggested that the Ye Family open their minds mocked them again!
"What else do you want our Ye Family to do? Must every member of the Ye Family come here, open their sea of consciousness, and let you examine them all!"
Ye Liuli said with an ugly expression!
The members of the Ye Family clenched their fists as well. The Ye Family was still not strong enough!
Although the Di Family said nothing, the aura around them showed signs of erupting!
Naturally, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect sensed it!
His heart jolted, and he immediately said!
"The Ye Family has already proven its innocence. We should not continue to doubt them!"
"It seems that Chu Fan truly is of the Devil Race. The Devil Race is ruthless and vicious, full of cunning plots. Perhaps he used the coming-of-age ceremony of the Di Family's Divine Son to deliberately challenge the peace of our Divine Domain!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded!
The auras of the Di Family's members also subsided!
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect naturally knew that the Ye Family was not of the Devil Race. He merely wanted to use this incident to slap the Di Family across the face!
"Alright, now that this matter has been resolved, the Ye Family has been cleared, and the coming-of-age ceremony for the Di Family's Divine Son has ended, everyone may disperse!"
The Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect acted as though he were the master of the Di Family!
It made everyone feel rather strange!
Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a voice rang out from behind them!
Though the voice was not loud, everyone halted in their tracks!
"Did I say you could leave?"
